Of course, the price is not small.
Because the methods of supernatural powers are often the means used by soul-refining cultivators.
Therefore, it consumes a lot of Taoist energy in the cultivator's body.
Chen Yushu used all his strength to use his sword to break all the techniques. Although it was extremely powerful, the price he paid was that the Dao Yuan power in his body was almost completely consumed.
Fortunately, the result satisfied him.
He won after all.
“Ahem…”
At this time, Xu Qingyan finally came to his senses, coughed, and a mouthful of bright red blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
Xu Qingyan, now a figure, no longer possessed the coldness and strength he once possessed. His face was as pale as paper, and the sword marks on his body were not noticeable, not even bleeding. However, for cultivators like them, the damage inflicted by their attacks was never simply a flesh wound, but rather the fierce murderous intent inherent in their swordsmanship, as well as the profound laws and mysteries of the swordsmanship.
If he cannot expel it, then this mysterious fluctuation of the law will continue to erode and prevent the recovery of his soul refining power.
But at this moment, he didn't care about it. Instead, he stared at Chen Yushu and asked, "What kind of sword technique was that?"
"One sword breaks all laws!"
Chen Yushu recognized this opponent and began to explain.
"Good, a sword that breaks all laws.
It was indeed a sword that broke my iceberg and sea of fire, as well as my ice and fire elemental light shield.
This time, I lost.
However, this is only because I just broke through and my breath is unstable.
In addition, there is a special move, which is too powerful and once used, there will be casualties, and if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred of your own.
Otherwise, the outcome is still uncertain."
Although Xu Qingyan was defeated, his pride did not mean that he had completely lost.
He still has a trump card to play.
It was only because I had reservations that I didn't use it.
“But if you lose, you lose.
If you fail, you have to pay the price.”
Chen Yushu didn't care about these things. Perhaps the other party really had a trick that he hadn't used yet.
But has Chen Yushu ever used his full strength?
After all, what he is best at has always been magic and supernatural powers.
While he was fighting with Xu Qingyan at this time, he was always using the sword-controlling technique.
And a real life-and-death battle is not like one in the ring.
If he opened an altar and assisted with other magical powers, such as the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth and the Six-Armed Sky Opening... perhaps Xu Qingyan's defeat would be even faster.
Of course, the superposition of multiple magical powers puts a huge pressure on his Dao Yuan, and he cannot guarantee how long he can maintain it.
After all, he was an unfamiliar place and was afraid that if he consumed too much energy and had no strength left, he would be in danger, which was not what he wanted.
"What do you want?"
Xu Qingling was shocked when she heard this, fearing that Chen Yushu wanted to kill the genius and take the opportunity to kill her elder brother, so she quickly stood in front of her elder brother.
The eyes of other people around also flickered.
Some people even looked expectant.
Xu Qingyan is so incredibly talented.
Although he made countless people yearn for him and admire him, he also suppressed countless geniuses, making countless people regard him as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh, wishing he would die.
If I die here this time, there will be many people who will not be able to help but applaud.
Chen Yushu looked at Xu Qingling, who was protecting Xu Qingyan with her arms outstretched as if facing a formidable enemy. He then glanced at the onlookers, whose eyes flickered and their thoughts varied. He understood everything, but said in a very calm tone, "We are just taking back what we deserve.
Hand over that nine-story pagoda and return it to Sister Qiao'er."
He really didn't intend to kill anyone.
After all, there was no real life-and-death conflict between him and Xu Qingyan, and killing the other party would do him no good.
But he must avenge Sister Qiao'er's grievances.
Not to mention, Sister Qiao'er had already won the fight, so the nine-story pagoda would naturally be returned to her hands.
"Nine-story pagoda?"
Xu Qingyan frowned.
He had no idea what was going on. It was only because his sister was injured that he decided to take action, and then he fell flat on his face...
At this time, Sun Miao on the side spoke up and quickly explained the root of the matter. Xu Qingyan's gaze immediately fell on his sister.
He didn't expect that all this was because of his sister's willful and predatory behavior... You know, their Xu family was just a commoner family before him. He had suffered a lot from those rich kids when he was a child. He couldn't stand such willful, arrogant and domineering behavior the most. He didn't expect that in just a few years, his sister had become so unfamiliar.
His eyes immediately became fierce and he said, "Give it to him."
"yes……"
Xu Qingling's heart trembled, knowing that her brother was furious. Regardless of what she did, she quickly took out the nine-story pagoda, erased all traces of her mind, and handed it to Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiao'er took it without hesitation. Feeling the sense of harmony coming from the pagoda again, she felt at ease. She glanced at Chen Yushu and said, "Yushu, let's go."
Chen Yushu nodded.
Then he took Liu Qiaoer and walked out.
After some breathing exercises, Xu Qingyan was able to suppress most of his injuries. Although it would take some time for him to fully recover, it no longer affected his movements. He stood up, glanced at Xu Qingling coldly, and said, "Go to the old house and reflect on your mistakes.
When you figure it out, come see me."
Then, he moved his body and quickly disappeared.
As soon as both parties left.
The audience at the scene then started to make loud noises and excitedly talked to the people around them about what had just happened and their opinions.
"Where on earth did this Chen Yushu come from?
This is too strong, too terrifying?"
"Yeah, even Xu Qingyan is no match for him.
Truly stunning talent.
Especially what he said just now, genius is just the threshold for him to take action.
At first I thought he was bragging.
But after this battle, I realized that what he said was the truth.
Even a genius like Xu Qingyan is no match for him, and the others are simply not qualified to challenge him."
"The most important thing is that he fought against an immortal in adversity. With the cultivation base of the Sun Travel Realm, he fought against a real person in the Soul Refining Realm, and he still won.
Even though Xu Qingyan had just broken through, he was extremely talented and powerful. After the breakthrough, he was definitely not a weakling in the Soul Refining Realm.
Chen Yushu was able to defeat him, so you can imagine how powerful he is."
"However, Xu Qingyan just said he had a trick, but he didn't use it. Perhaps..."
"Who doesn't boast? In a life-or-death battle, there's no room for holding back.
No matter what, victory is victory, and defeat is defeat."
…
Countless people exclaimed and shouted.
I am excited that I have witnessed such a peak battle that is destined to be known throughout the world.
The news here, along with the conversations of countless monks, quickly spread throughout Daocheng County and even gradually radiated outward.
For a time, all major forces, especially those families and sects with Soul Refining Masters in charge, were shocked by this news.
After all, defeating immortals in adversity and refining souls by day trips are indeed too shocking.
…
The county magistrate’s mansion, a quiet room in the backyard.
A middle-aged man in purple official robes, with a dignified face and an aura as deep as the ocean, suddenly stopped writing and showed a look of surprise.
This person is none other than the Daocheng County Governor, Li Haohai.
Below him, his trusted aides were respectfully reporting what happened on the ring.
"He reached the Sun Travel Realm and comprehended the domain? He even defeated Xu Qingyan, who had already reached the Soul Refining Realm, head-on?"
Li Haohai asked in surprise.
“Absolutely true, my lord.
Countless people witnessed it at the scene.
The domain displayed by Chen Yushu was obviously stronger, and it directly compressed Xu Qingyan's domain to only three meters.
And his last sword strike is said to be a magical sword skill that can break all laws with one sword strike."
"One sword breaks all laws?
This is the magical power inherited from the Sword Sect in ancient legends.
Now, even the Yinsi is not included.
Could this person be the descendant of the Sword Sect?"
Li Haohai frowned, then quickly made a decision: "Go, investigate his identity, background, and past.
Also, send him an invitation; I want to meet him in person."
"Sir, are you planning to..."
“Tell him that our goal for this land reclamation is to conquer five immortal mountains with third-grade spiritual veins.
I allow him to choose one."
"ah?"
The staff looked up in shock.
But Li Haohai didn't say anything more, just said calmly: "Go!"
…
“Born from Tianling County.
He is suspected of having inherited the Sword Sect's legacy, and he even had the experience of breaking into the Huangshan Inheritance Cliff in the early days... So, is he still my junior brother?
Interesting, really interesting.
I just don't know if he has practiced the art of communicating with the underworld."
In a temple, a monk dressed in a black robe with many mysterious runes engraved on it suddenly had a strange smile on his face.
After a long time, a whisper sounded again: "Destroying the immortals in adversity?
It seems I need to meet this junior brother."
…
Zhang Zhenzong of the Divine Fire Sect raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard his disciple's report, and he was also surprised. "Where did this peerless genius come from?"
"It is said that he is from Tianling County!"
Below, Sun Miaolian said.
"Tianling County?"
Zhang Zhenzong asked back.
"Yes, I never thought that such a genius could emerge from such a deserted place for cultivation."
Sun Miao shook his head, feeling uneasy.
“Tianling County is not a desert place for cultivation.
Although the spiritual energy there is thin and far less than that of Daocheng County, one or two super geniuses with extraordinary talent can emerge almost every few dozen or hundreds of years.
Because, that is the place where the Huangshan Patriarch achieved enlightenment.
There is a Taoist priest with hundreds of ghosts in front.
Now that Chen Yushu is here, it's normal."
As Zhang Zhenzong spoke, he instead set his gaze on Sun Miao and asked, "Have you really decided?"
“Yes, I know that I am not strong enough.
So I plan to go through a death retreat, and I hope Master will grant my blessing."
Sun Miaolian said.
“This time, Governor Li Haohai has a big plan.
On the surface, the goal is to open up five fairy mountains, but in fact the real goal is Tianqian Peak.
On top of Tianqian Peak, there lives an ancient god with extremely powerful strength, a truly terrifying existence of the evil level.
He opened up five immortal mountains in order to set up a great formation of reversing the five elements on top of them to suppress the Tianqian Peak.
Prepare to suppress the ancient god.
Once he succeeds, he will be able to accumulate merit and receive blessings from heaven and earth.
The strength will also increase dramatically.
It can be said that all the Soul Refining Realm masters in the entire Daocheng County are preparing for this land reclamation.
I was also invited to participate in this encirclement and suppression.
Once the matter is accomplished, the merits can also be shared.
Originally, I wanted you to lead the charge of conquering a fairy mountain, which could also serve as a branch of our Divine Fire Sect. If you insist on seclusion... Xiaoqi's strength is still a little lacking."
Sun Miao was silent.
Xiaoqi is his junior fellow apprentice. Although he has also reached the Daoist Sun-Traveling Realm, he has just broken through and his strength is still far behind.
“Master, I understand.
After this time, I will go into seclusion again."
Sun Miao was silent for a long time before he spoke with difficulty.
This decision was extremely heavy for him, because he had already made up his mind and shaped his character. If he regretted it now, it would be a huge blow to his spiritual heart.
It is very likely that he will never be able to reach the Soul Refining Realm again.
But among the disciples of the Divine Fire Sect, he is the strongest and is also recognized as the candidate for the next generation leader of the Divine Fire Sect. There is no way he can escape at this time.
"How is Xu Qingyan's injury?"
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Zhenzong asked again.
“The injury is not serious, but the injury caused by the law is difficult to cure.
It will probably take one or two months to fully recover.”
Sun Miao replied.
“Well, you send a Dao Yuan Dan over.
Just say that we, the Divine Fire Sect, hope to ask him for help in doing something."
Zhang Zhenzong thought about it and replied.
"master!"
Sun Miao immediately looked up.
"Go!"
"yes!"
…
Chen Yushu did not have his own yard or residence in Daocheng County.
This time, he naturally followed Liu Qiaoer back to the backyard of Tianxuan Restaurant.
"Yushu, are you okay?"
As soon as she came back, Liu Qiaoer asked nervously.
After all, Chen Yushu had just finished a battle with Xu Qingyan. Although he won, it was definitely not that easy.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Chen Yushu waved his hand and spoke.
"That's good."
After seeing that Chen Yushu was indeed fine, Liu Qiaoer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, your strength has improved so much."
I really feel some emotion in my heart.
At this moment, he recalled the scene when he first discovered that Chen Yushu had started practicing, as if it was just yesterday.
As a result, at this time, the opponent's strength not only far exceeded hers, but also gradually grew to a level that she could not imagine.
"It was just a coincidence and a bit of luck."
Chen Yushu smiled and said.
“It’s not possible by chance.
As far as I know, the reason why Xu Qingyan's growth rate is so astonishing is that he has entered the state of meditation and reached a stable level early on.
Is your state of concentration higher than his?"
As if she had thought of something, Liu Qiaoer couldn't help but ask.
"A little higher."
Chen Yushu nodded.
“Is it really higher?
So what realm is there after stability?"
In the world of immortal cultivation, there have always been different levels of concentration: shallow concentration, small concentration, great concentration, constant concentration, and constant concentration. However, no one knows what state lies beyond constant concentration.
In fact, no one can achieve it.
Therefore, Liu Qiaoer was also very curious about this. (End of this chapter)
