Chapter 187 Jiang Dongliu: He will win because he is the challenger

Once upon a time, let alone an evil ghost comparable to the Ghost Pill Stage.

Even if he is just a cultivator in the False Dan Stage, Lu Chen needs to give it his all to have a chance of winning.

But now, ordinary Jindan stage cultivators are no longer taken seriously by Lu Chen.

What’s more, he is just an evil ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage.

On the open space outside the pedestrian street shopping mall.

Because Lu Chen deployed his own sword domain of destruction.

As a result, the evil ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage was confused for a while, and finally chose to rush directly towards Lu Chen.

Even though she no longer had any magical powers, she could still rely on her own powerful body as a demon.

There would be no problem in taking down a Foundation Establishment cultivator! But before the Ghost Pill Stage female ghost could get close to Lu Chen, she found that the environment around her had changed.

The originally dilapidated and dim pedestrian street disappeared, replaced by a special plain full of blood-red flowers.

Not far from this plain is a vast and endless sea of ​​blood.

Seeing this scene, the female ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage stopped instantly with a look of fear on her face.

Because behind Lu Chen, an illusory white-bone Buddha was looking at her expressionlessly.

Just one glance made the female ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage feel terrifying pressure.

This trembling from the depths of her soul made her dare not take any action.

Lu Chen stood in front of the white bone Buddha and raised his hand.

The next second, the blood-red flowers around began to decompose and finally gathered into a blood-red sword in the sky.

There is a strange vertical eye on the hilt of this long sword.

He stared at the female ghost in the Ghost Dan period below, as if he was looking at some delicious food.

The female ghost in the Ghost Dan stage, who was already in fear because of the White Bone Buddha, completely lost any desire to fight after feeling the greedy look of the Blood Eye.

Run, the farther the better!

Without any hesitation, the female ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage chose to respect her instincts at this moment and stay as far away from Lu Chen and his strange blood sword as possible.

But she soon discovered that although she was running, she was not getting further away from the huge blood sword, but was getting closer and closer.

Could it be that she didn't run fast enough and was caught up by the blood sword? But when the female ghost saw Lu Chen and her position, she was horrified to find that it was not that she didn't run fast enough, but that she seemed to have never left the same place from beginning to end.

The red spider lilies around, the sea of ​​blood in the distance, the blood sword above the head, and Lu Chen behind him.

Everything seemed to be unchanged.

The only thing that changed was the huge blood sword that was getting closer and closer to her.

Under the ghost girl's terrified eyes, the blood sword hanging above her head finally fell down.

Boom! As the blood-red giant sword fell, the ghost girl's figure completely disappeared on the blood-red other side.

Only the female ghost and Lu Chen himself could see all of this.

Because whether it is the bloody other side or the endless sea of ​​blood, they are only scenery that can only be seen in the artistic conception, which is similar to an illusion.

But when the false is true, the true is false, and Lu Chen's attack in the artistic conception is not false.

To other people in reality, the ghost pill stage female ghost rushed towards Lu Chen for a moment and then strangely stopped where she was, motionless.

Then, a blood-red spirit sword emitting a fierce aura appeared out of thin air in Lu Chen's right hand.

A light sword pierced her forehead.

During this process, the female ghost's magic powers, as well as her own protective energy, were all useless.

It was as if she couldn't see Lu Chen at all and was just passively accepting her death.

Snap...

Lu Chen's Taotie weapon stayed at the center of the ghost girl's eyebrows, and then countless cracks spread from the center of the ghost girl's eyebrows and soon spread to the entire body of the ghost girl.

In the end, the female ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage who was extremely powerful in the eyes of Shen Feiyang and others turned into countless ghost energy fragments, was swallowed by Lu Chen's blood sword, and disappeared.

"Jianliang, has classmate Lu become stronger again?"

Zheng Liu looked at all this and said to Xu Jianliang beside him in amazement.

Xu Jianliang, who was also shocked at this time, did not respond.

Because Lu Chen's current strength has exceeded his comprehension.

This is a Guidan-stage evil ghost that is comparable to a Jindan-stage cultivator.

Not only did Lu Chen win, but he also won with great ease.

Doesn’t this mean that Lu Chen’s current strength is comparable to that of a golden elixir, or even exceeds that of an ordinary golden elixir?

You know, even if a real Jindan stage cultivator came, he might not be able to win so easily.

Just when a few people were still immersed in the strong shock of having their worldview refreshed.

A telepathic message fell into the ears of several people.

"Stay here and don't move. With my Juetian Sword here, any ghosts and monsters that come close to here will lose the ability to use their magic and will not be able to pose a threat to you."

After saying that, Lu Chen walked directly into the depths of the pedestrian street.

Because he felt a strong sense of resentment at a certain location on the pedestrian street.

I think that should be the source of this evil den in front of us.

Deep in the pedestrian street.

I saw a huge space crack appearing in a square.

And whether it was the female ghost in the Ghost Dan period or other ghosts, they all ran out from this space crack.

Seeing this crack, Lu Chen thought for a moment and then released Di Ting.

"What's wrong, Brother Lu?"

As soon as Di Ting came out, he looked around curiously.

Soon, it noticed the space crack in the square.

"Brother Lu, this is the entrance to Fengdu again."

"After this is over, you must ask the Shanhaisi to give me more credit. I am almost dying of exhaustion."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have reported everything you did to the Shanhai Division. They will not treat you unfairly."

Di Ting nodded, and then began to seal the Fengdu space crack in front of him.

I saw a large amount of innate nine qi released from Di Ting's body, and constantly interweaving around the space crack in front of him.

At this moment, Di Ting was like a doctor, carefully stitching the "wound" on the pedestrian street in front of him.

Fengdu, a special place dedicated to accommodating the dead.

Its location is similar to the underworld in Lu Chen’s previous life.

But the Fengdu of the Immortal Alliance is different from the underworld in Lu Chen’s previous life in one aspect.

That is, there is no King Yama in Fengdu.

Only ghost kings, big and small, live in it.

Therefore, Fengdu was also classified as an alien race by the Immortal Alliance.

But normally, every city in the Immortal Alliance has a "boundary stone".

Its function is to stabilize the spatial stability of the city where it is located.

Therefore, most of the "space cracks" will not appear directly in the cities of the Immortal Alliance, but will only appear outside the cities.

It's not that the Immortal Alliance doesn't want to expand the scope of the "Boundary Stone" to the entire Immortal Alliance's sphere of influence.

The boundary stone is really too rare.

And there are not many formation masters who are capable of carving formations on the boundary stone.

Therefore, the Immortal Alliance is already exhausted just by maintaining the existing boundary stones, let alone producing more boundary stones.

As for the space cracks in Fengdu, Lu Chen was actually not unfamiliar with them.

Because in the past two months, he has encountered many similar situations.

And this is not just a case in Qingzhou. Fengdu has appeared everywhere in the Immortal Alliance.

It was as if someone had opened a key, causing Fengdu, which was supposed to have nothing to do with the real world, to suddenly intersect with the real world.

These Fengdu space cracks are strong and weak.

The weak ones are only the size of a door crack, and the ghosts that come out are usually below the foundation-building stage and are easy to deal with.

But the strong one was like the one Lu Chen encountered now, which was twenty meters long and ten meters wide.

Evil spirits in the Jindan stage often run out of it.

Not long ago, Lu Chen went to a city near Luocheng to deal with the Fengdu crack.

Unexpectedly, he received news from the Shanhai Division immediately after returning.

Let him come to the pedestrian street to deal with the new Fengdu cracks.

Although school has already started for half a month, Lu Chen has yet to show up at No. 1 Middle School.

You are so busy that your front foot cannot touch your back foot.

But he is not the only one who is busy right now.

The entire Shanhai Division was thrown into a state of panic by the sudden appearance of the Fengdu Rift and was seriously short of manpower.

"Done, Brother Lu."

After completely sealing the Fengdu Rift, Di Ting wiped the sweat from his forehead, obviously very tired.

After all, it is a Fengdu rift that can accommodate Jindan-stage evil spirits to enter and exit.

This is naturally much more troublesome to deal with.

"Brother Lu, call me if you need anything later. I'm going to go back and get some sleep. I'm dying of exhaustion."

After saying this, Di Ting turned into a ray of light and entered Lu Chen's painting of mountains and seas.

Although the Fengdu Rift here had been resolved, Lu Chen was not in a hurry to leave.

He came to the place where the crack was originally and stretched out his hand.

Not long after, a special stone flew up from the ground and landed in Lu Chen's hands.

Rather than a stone, Lu Chen felt that it looked more like a stone from some building.

However, this brick seems to have been corroded so badly by time that it is a little difficult to recognize.

In addition, Lu Chen also saw many traces of formations on this stone.

Although he could not recognize what this formation was at the moment, Lu Chen felt that it might be the reason why the Fengdu Rift could ignore the Luocheng Boundary Stone and appear here.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with this special stone, Lu Chen directly put it into his storage bag.

And I plan to hand it over when I go to the Shanhaisi.

After all, collecting this special 'Fengdu Stone' is also a task specifically assigned by the Shanhai Division.

There are specialized formation masters in the Shanhai Division who are studying them.

Find a way to prevent Fengdu from appearing in the world at will again.

And when Lu Chen finished all this, the fog that originally shrouded the pedestrian street completely disappeared.

However, at this time, half a day had passed from the time the fog appeared to the time it was resolved.

Although this was caused by the accidental presence of Shen Feiyang and others, many people managed to survive under their protection.

But more people couldn't even hold on before they could take action and died prematurely at the hands of ghosts that escaped from the cracks.

After all, the crack appeared in the middle of the night, and at this time there were only some special workers and night owls surfing the Internet in Internet cafes.

Therefore, in this incident, most people died in their sleep.

Thinking back on the movements of the Immortal Alliance during this period, Lu Chen felt that the peace within the Immortal Alliance might soon be broken.

At the same time, in another city in Qingzhou.

"You must strike your sword steadily, keeping eight out of ten and saving two out of ten, otherwise you will not be able to cope with the changes that may arise next."

"Remember, you only live once, so you can never be too cautious."

"After all, a dead genius...is not a genius."

While Bian Shouyi was killing the monsters in front of him with his sword, he glanced at Jiang Dongliu who was leisurely eating puffs not far away.

Because he was selected by Qinghe Taoist Academy in advance, Bian Shouyi no longer needed to go to Luocheng No. 1 Middle School to attend classes as scheduled.

In addition, he is very optimistic about Bian Shouyi's innate sword body.

Therefore, the Taoist Canjian of Qinghe Taoist Temple asked Jiang Dongliu to take on the task of guiding Bian Shouyi in his practice.

The method used was also simple, which was to let Jiang Dongliu take Bian Shouyi to complete the task of the Shanhaisi together.

After all, actual combat is the most suitable training method for sword practitioners.

And Taoist Canjian was not worried that Bian Shouyi would be in danger if he followed Jiang Dongliu.

Although Bian Shouyi is only five years older than Jiang Dongliu, Jiang Dongliu is already a real Jindan-stage swordsman.

And it is the existence of the Heavenly Golden Elixir.

As long as you don’t encounter a high-level Jindan-stage cultivator above the underground tunnel, or an old monster above the Yuanying stage.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

With Jiang Dongliu's current strength, he can basically walk sideways in the entire Immortal Alliance.

Therefore, Taoist Canjian felt relieved to let Bian Shouyi follow Jiang Dongliu.

Just as Bian Shouyi was concentrating on fighting the evil ghost in front of him, a pair of big hands suddenly stretched out from the Fengdu crack not far from him and grabbed towards Bian Shouyi.

Facing this terrifying big hand, Bian Shou swung out a sword subconsciously.

The majestic sword energy cut through the sky with great momentum.

This is Bian Shouyi’s unyielding sword intention.

As long as he has no fear in his heart, his sword will be unstoppable and sharp.

However, the power of his sword far exceeds that of an ordinary sword in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But the owner of that big hand was not some evil ghost in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but a real Ghost Pill Stage.

Therefore, the moment Bian Shouyi's sword energy collided with the big hand, it was immediately shattered.

The big hand didn't stop at all and fell directly towards Bian Shouyi.

Looking at this huge palm, Bian Shouyi's pupils shrank.

He could neither block nor dodge this palm.

But just when the palm was three meters away from Bian Shouyi, Jiang Dongliu's figure suddenly stood in front of him.

"Look carefully, this is the real swordsmanship."

As he spoke, Jiang Dongliu used his hand as a sword and pointed at the big hand in front of him.

Bang! The moment the Ghost Pill Stage evil ghost's palm collided with Jiang Dongliu's sword finger, the evil ghost's palm, which was extremely powerful in Bian Shouyi's eyes, not only stopped instantly.

Moreover, a large amount of sword energy burst out from the evil ghost's arm.

"roar!"

Accompanied by a deafening scream, the arm of the evil ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage immediately turned into pieces of flesh and scattered around the Fengdu Rift.

Although he had broken one of the arms of the Ghost Pill Stage evil ghost, Jiang Dongliu was not prepared to let him go.

"You step back first. What happens next is not something you can interfere with."

Bian Shou nodded, then stayed in the open space next to him, watching Jiang Dongliu's next battle with a serious face.

The evil ghost in the Fengdu crack seemed to be angered by Jiang Dongliu and crawled out directly from the crack.

Ten meters tall, with a strong body that looks like fine iron and covered with special patterns.

Even though it was just standing there, it still gave Bian Shouyi a strong sense of oppression in the distance.

However, Jiang Dongliu didn't care too much about it, and his expression was still relaxed.

He even had time to joke, "You are a starving ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage. It seems that you have been in Fengdu for a long time. The ghost and hostility on your body are so strong that I can smell it from a long distance away."

"But the dead should stay where they belong. Who allowed you to come to the living world?"

Hearing Jiang Dongliu's words, the starving ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage, who was already overwhelmed by anger, didn't waste time talking to him and directly attacked Jiang Dongliu with his only right arm.

This time, the hungry ghost learned from the last lesson, and his left arm was covered with a large amount of armor transformed from ghost energy.

He even activated his own innate magical power, Ghost Devouring.

The purpose was to kill Jiang Dongliu, the guy who hurt him, with one punch.

"You are a person who only remembers to eat but not to be beaten. Do you really think that the world of the living is your playground and you can play around as you please?"

Jiang Dongliu raised his hand, and countless peach blossom-shaped sword auras appeared out of thin air.

Then, these peach blossom sword energies gathered together and rotated to cover the arm of the starving ghost.

Bang, bang, bang…

Accompanied by bursts of metal cutting sounds, the arm of the starving ghost covered with ghost armor was cut into countless pieces in an instant.

Afterwards, the peach blossom sword energy continued to exert its power and rushed directly towards the starving ghost's body.

Faced with these peach blossom sword energies, the starving ghost tried hard to repel them.

But these peach blossom sword energies are just like real peach blossom petals, soft and boneless.

Even though the starving ghost had already used all his magic powers to try to blow away the peach blossom sword energy in one breath.

But after floating for a short time, the peach blossom sword energy fell on him again.

In the face of these sharp peach blossom sword energies, the starving ghost's protective elixir energy only lasted for a moment.

Without the protection of the protective Dan Qi, the body that the starving ghost was so proud of was cut into countless pieces like tofu.

After finishing all this, Jiang Dongliu turned to Bian Shouyi beside him and said, "Wait here for a while. I'll go down and clean up the little ghosts inside."

After saying that, Jiang Dongliu rushed directly into the Fengdu Rift.

After a burst of screams and the sound of sword energy, Jiang Dongliu returned to the outside of the crack.

"Let's go, and leave the rest to others."

"Oh, okay."

Shortly after the two left, some non-staff members of the Shanhaisi quickly arrived at the Fengdu Rift.

They fiddled with various magical instruments with ease and began to seal the Fengdu Rift in this place.

At the same time, Bian Shouyi, who had left Fengdu Ghost Cave, followed Jiang Dongliu and couldn't help but say, "Senior Jiang, where are we going next?"

Hearing this, Jiang Dongliu immediately smiled and said, "Where else can we go? Of course, we should go and relax!"

"Don't ask. You can watch it later. Anyway, you became an adult not long ago and can drink."

Hearing this, the rather rigid Bian Shouyi couldn't help but ask, "Drinking? Aren't we going to continue practicing?"

Jiang Dongliu was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Bian Shouyi who had a serious expression, covered his forehead and said speechlessly: "Junior brother, I, your senior, have finally completed the task, can't I enjoy myself?"

"Practice? What's the point of practicing? It's okay to practice less for a day. You have to know how to balance work and rest!"

"Don't worry, I'll pay for all your expenses tonight. Just come on, and I promise to open the door to a new world for you!"

Jiang Dongliu originally thought that after he finished saying all this, he would go to the bar with Bian Shouyi to relax.

But Bian Shouyi was like a piece of wood, and would not respond to any force or suggestion.

"No, senior. I have learned a lot today and I want to consolidate it. You go and have fun. I won't go."

"Forehead……"

Looking at the stubborn Bian Shouyi, Jiang Dongliu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although he really wanted to go to the bar to drink with the girls, it would be difficult for him to go if Bian Shouyi didn't go.

After all, the task assigned to him by his master was to take good care of this junior fellow student.

Thinking of this, Jiang Dongliu couldn't help but say, "Brother, although hard work is a good thing, it's easy to get stuck in a dead end if you work too hard."

"If your life consists of nothing but training and fighting, then what is the difference between living and being in prison?"

"Listen to me, occasional relaxation is not decadence. Too much rigidity will lead to failure."

What Jiang Dongliu didn't expect was that even though he had said so much, Bian Shouyi remained unmoved.

Bian Shouyi looked at him and said seriously, "Senior, Mr. Lu is already far ahead of me. If I don't work hard, I may not even see his back in the future."

"I want to try to catch up with him, or even... surpass him."

When Jiang Dongliu heard Bian Shou mention Lu Chen, his originally frivolous expression slowly disappeared.

He looked at Bian Shouyi, changed his previous nonchalant tone, and said in a rare serious tone: "Catch up with Junior Brother Lu, do you know what you are saying?"

"Brother Bian, although you are a genius, there are monsters in this world who are even better than geniuses. The gap between monsters and geniuses is perhaps even greater than that between geniuses and dogs."

"Don't even mention that you are much weaker than Mr. Lu right now. Even if you have the same level of cultivation, or even if your level of cultivation is higher than his, even if ten of you are tied together, you still won't be a match for Mr. Lu."

"You haven't joined the Shanhai Division yet, so you have no idea what horrible things Junior Brother Lu has done."

"Let me tell you this. With Mr. Lu's current strength, even I would find it very difficult to fight him, let alone you."

Bian Shouyi heard this and said calmly: "I know, but I still want to give it a try."

Feeling Bian Shouyi's firm determination to follow the Tao at this moment, Jiang Dongliu couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart.

With his heart for Taoism, his talent, and his determination, it's no wonder that the master thinks so highly of this kid. He is indeed different.

Thinking of this, Jiang Dongliu also relaxed.

"Okay, okay, let's go back and practice. I'll teach you some moves tonight and help you perfect your sword skills."

Upon hearing this, Bian Shou's eyes suddenly lit up.

For a sword fanatic like him, nothing could be more exciting than fighting with a master.

As the two of them headed for the nearest Shanhaisi branch, Bian Shouyi asked a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Senior Jiang, you just said that even if you are now you will find it difficult to fight against Mr. Lu. If you really fight him now, will you lose?"

Jiang Dongliu said without hesitation: "I will win, because I am Jiang Dongliu, the chief of the Sword Academy of Qinghe Daoyuan."

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but for now... Junior Brother Lu is the challenger."

Looking at Jiang Dongliu who looked confident, Bian Shouyi still chose to believe what he said.

After all, Bian Shouyi hadn't seen Lu Chen take action for a long time, and he had only vaguely heard about Lu Chen from Jiang Dongliu during this period.

Because Jiang Dongliu couldn't help but use Lu Chen as an example to criticize him for what he did wrong.

However, even the Lu Chen mentioned by Jiang Dongliu has become very powerful.

But Bian Shouyi had no intuitive concept of this power.

But Bian Shouyi saw Jiang Dongliu's strength clearly.

Because in the short month that he had been following Jiang Dongliu, he had seen Jiang Dongliu easily kill various demons and monsters comparable to the Jindan stage more than once.

Even Bian Shouyi knew that Jiang Dongliu had not made any serious move in the past month.

Although Bian Shouyi knew that Lu Chen was very strong now, he lacked a reference for Lu Chen's strength.

But Jiang Dongliu's strength is visible to the naked eye.

However, the fact that Lu Chen could be treated like this by Jiang Dongliu shows that although he is only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he already has the strength comparable to that of the Golden Core Stage, or even exceeds that of the average Golden Core Stage.

Thinking of this, Bian Shouyi decided to practice harder in the future.

Everything is just as he said, some things should not be not done just because they are difficult.

His unyielding sword intention is essentially to move forward courageously.

Even though he knew that Lu Chen was like a mountain, if he crashed into him he would most likely be crushed to pieces.

But Bian Shouyi doesn't care about these, because in his dictionary, there is no such thing as "settling for second best".

Thinking of this, Bian Shouyi said, "Senior Jiang, can you treat Mr. Lu the same way as me today? I want to see the gap between me and him."

"Are you serious?"

"Um."

"Okay, then I will let you feel what true despair is today. I hope your faith will not be broken because of this..."

“I couldn’t ask for more.”
