Chapter 125: Bell Ringing (2)
Shang Qian never expected that he would accidentally discover the ghost cultivator's lair.
"Cough!" The blood in his body surged. After he broke through a layer of the formation with great difficulty, he was unable to support his body anymore. He could only watch himself fall down and spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground.
Now was not the time to rest. This ghost cultivator was too powerful for one person to handle. However, the ghost cultivator on the other side was unable to kill him, so he wanted to rely on depleting Shang Qian's spiritual power to wear him down.
Shang Qian held the long sword in his arms, exhaled slowly, and climbed to his feet. With just one sword strike, as long as he faced the true form of the evil, he would surely be able to eliminate it with one strike!
Where is the real body?
Everything happened in a flash. Shang Qian chatted and laughed with the townspeople, intending to help arrange some things for the bell-ringing path. But as he took a step forward, he suddenly realized that the surrounding scenery had changed. He had arrived at the entrance of a strange cave. The ghostly aura that hit him almost made his hair stand on end, and his heart was extremely excited.
He wanted to contact Xi Xingji and Qu Qitao first, but for some reason, the Fu Seal could not be opened. He also tried to contact Luo Xuanyi with the sound transmission talisman, but that was also impossible. However, there was no way to retreat. After all, Shang Qian was a sword cultivator of the Exorcist Sword Sect and would never be afraid to face the enemy alone.
He held his breath, concentrating his mind, and pressed his two fingers together, not using the long sword in his arms. With a low shout, the wooden box behind him burst open, and a slender white sword leaped up. With a thought, he directly cut through the entire cave!
"Eight Meridians in One Style!"
The art of swordsmanship Shang Qian cultivates is the most powerful Eight Meridians Sword Controlling Technique of the Exorcist Sword Sect, and the most sought-after technique among sword cultivators! Each of the Eight Meridians Sword Controlling Techniques is cultivated through the practice of sword cultivation. Only those with a clear mind and the courage to wield the sword for the common people can achieve this, becoming the embodiment of sword intent. The Eight Meridians Sword Controlling Technique is a natural nemesis of evil and unorthodoxy.
Flying rocks and shattering rocks! The cave before him shattered and shattered. The sword flashed across, opening the entire cave. But the illusion persisted. Furthermore, Shang Qian's ears gradually began to crackle, as if a forest of trees were being shaken by a strong wind. His sword strike triggered a chain of formations, and the earth merged with the sky, transforming into a single forest!
Rustle, rustle.
The ever-shifting echoes of the forest sea materialized, attempting to disrupt Shang Qian's spiritual power, invade his mind, and cause his will to collapse. This formation was too sinister and costly; it was definitely not something a cultivator in the dark could create!
"Ghost Dao, I will kill you today!"
Unable to attack without revealing himself, the ghost cultivator attempted to force his way through the formation. Shang Qian, knowing a quick victory was necessary, saw his hand gestures shift, and three more swords emerged from the box. Shang Qian was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but possessing four meridians of sword intent was a true gift!
"Evil spirits and demons will be banished from this world! Eight Meridians and Three Styles!"
The four sword meridians shone brightly and merged together, as if vaguely forming the figure of a Confucian scholar. The scholar held a scroll in his left hand and swung his robe with his right hand. The sage's words on the scroll immediately flew out with the sword. It was clearly one path, but it was as if countless paths extended to countless places, to kill all the evil demons in the world!
The forest collapsed instantly!
Unfortunately, Lin Hai was weak, and when countless sword intentions slashed towards him, some were still absorbed by Lin Hai, and along with the exploding sound waves, they turned into countless strikes that hit Shang Qian! Shang Qian raised his scabbard and repeatedly used sword moves to counter the attack, but the power of the Eight Meridians Three Moves was extremely powerful, and he himself was unable to resist. In the end, he was hit several times, and along with the shattered Lin Hai, he was hit, almost penetrating the ground!
Hiding in the shadows, Hao Fei breathed a sigh of relief. If he had the Demonic Blade and the Spirit Gathering Formation, he could have fought Shang Qian. However, these two items had already been handed over to Luo Xuanyi. For now, he could only use the formation to trap Shang Qian, making him mistakenly believe he had returned to Fuji Mountain, and then allow Luo Xuanyi to come.
If Shang Qian's Eight Meridians Sword Controlling Technique was not Hao Fei's natural nemesis, he would be able to kill him even if he went forward and used formations against the enemy.
Thinking of this, Hao Fei swallowed his saliva and hesitated a little, but still contacted Luo Xuanyi through voice transmission.
"Master, the matter has been discovered by a monk with a sword. Come to Jishan immediately."
"Does the evil thought come from here?" Shang Qian suddenly raised his head, drew out the sword in his arms and slashed!
Luo Xuanyi paused for a moment, then put the fish she had picked up into her mouth, chewing and swallowing it. Looking at the steamed yellow croaker in front of her, she muttered to herself, "That's why they say things in life are unpredictable. It won't always go smoothly."
"What's wrong?" Zhang Qiu, who was enjoying his meal nearby, put down his chopsticks and looked over with some confusion. Seeing Luo Xuanyi put her bamboo chopsticks neatly together next to the fish plate, he seemed to understand something and did not ask any further questions. However, seeing her chopsticks slow down, it was clear that she was still concerned, but she didn't want to ask too much and embarrass Luo Xuanyi.
Looking at Zhang Qiu, Luo Xuanyi thought for a moment, "Well, I'm not sure if I can continue to attend the bell-ringing ceremony, as I don't know how long it will take. If I can return when the lanterns begin to be hung in the attic of the palace, I will stand by the flower wall outside the academy. If I'm not there by then, I'll apologize for your kindness."
Zhang Qiu obviously hadn't expected Luo Xuanyi to make such an agreement. In her heart, she still felt that immortals looked down on mortals, but she had her own pride, so she remained humble and polite. Apart from the courtesy she showed to Luo Xuanyi, she treated her like an ordinary person.
She was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.
"That's a deal."
Luo Xuanyi stood up and left, still hiding her figure with the elixir, and fled towards Fu Jishan.
It has to be said that Hao Fei, who calls himself the Ghost King of Formations, does have some skills. Even when Shang Qian used the Eight Meridians Sword Controlling Technique, from the outside, not a single bit of spiritual power leaked out.
Once she got close to Fu Jishan, Luo Xuanyi felt a thin and soft air film brushing against her body, then filtering her into the formation, and everything in front of her suddenly turned upside down.
There is a crack in the sky.
No, it was not a crack, it was just that the light was so strong and pure that people mistakenly thought there was darkness inside.
The evil energy between heaven and earth was flying towards the light on its own. The magic sword sealed in Luo Xuanyi's hand was ready to move. It let out a loud cry and was about to break free!
Luo Xuanyi, however, reached out to suppress the attack and did not immediately join the battle. She watched as a figure in the sky was almost instantly shattered and fell from the sky, and then the light slowly dissipated.
It was just a flash of sword light.
Luo Xuanyi looked towards the source of the light, where stood a man holding a sword. In his left hand was a scabbard that looked like it was made from a random piece of wood, but the sword in his right hand was different.
Pure beauty and flawlessness. Just one glance at that sword would bring this thought to everyone's mind. However, the resulting feelings might differ. Kind-hearted people would feel a growing love for it, without any fear, while those with evil intentions would feel a growing fear, their entire body trembling with dread.
But Luo Xuanyi didn't react at all.
She does not feel that what she does is evil, just as she does not know what is good.
"I wonder if it can be resolved quickly." This was the only thing on her mind at the moment.
I'll update today and there will be more updates tomorrow, Monday~
