Chapter 248: One sword divides thousands of flowers, a hundred days of preparation, a deadly situation
Following Zhao Zhongming's order, the surrounding Gu army immediately rushed into the academy.
The densely packed poisonous people looked like a black tide, devouring everything in sight.
Although these poisonous people are terrifying, the true emperor behind them is even more frightening.
Looking at Zhao Zhongming who was blessing himself with the luck of the dynasty, the people watching in the academy all showed solemn expressions.
You must know that the cultivators from Zhongzhou who are still staying in the academy at this time are either true disciples of large sects or geniuses of small sects.
There may be differences in their cultivation, but their vision is definitely not low.
The reason why Zhao Zhongming can only reach the third realm of perfection at present.
It’s not that he can’t reach a higher realm, but that the current world can only allow the power of the third realm to appear.
This is the rule set by the True Immortals and cannot be broken by outsiders.
As for the Deer in the Clouds, although it has the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
But it is not counted within the rules, and it cannot attack at will, so it is not included.
In addition to the rapid increase in his cultivation, Zhao Zhongming, who was blessed with the dynasty's luck, also had a most terrifying thing.
That is, his power is almost inexhaustible.
After all, compared with personal cultivation, the dynasty's fortune is too powerful.
It was so powerful that Zhao Zhongming could almost ignore all consumption and fight the way he wanted.
Not to mention that these forces of luck can also be used to repair Zhao Zhongming's body.
If we use the terminology of the game to describe it, Zhao Zhongming at this moment has unlimited "blue energy" and "health energy" at the same time.
Unless Lu Chen can kill Zhao Zhongming instantly with one sword, or the damage he causes to Zhao Zhongming is faster than Zhao Zhongming's recovery speed.
Otherwise, Zhao Zhongming, who was blessed with the luck of the dynasty, would be immortal.
Not only the people in the academy knew this, but Lu Chen himself knew it as well.
However, Lu Chen's expression remained calm, without any sign of disturbance.
It seems that nothing he saw was surprising.
He was not surprised, but Zhao Zhongming outside the academy was surprised.
Although reason told him that no matter how talented Lu Chen was or how many tricks he had.
No one should be able to surpass myself right now.
But his intuition told him that this sword cultivator from Qingyun Sect might actually have a way to break his "body of luck".
This is also the reason why he did not rush to take action, but instead sent his men to test Lu Chen first.
Plan before making decisions. He has waited for hundreds of years and doesn't mind waiting a little longer.
Inside the academy, the first group of Gu masters who rushed into the academy soon faced the first wave of tests.
As they stepped through the gate of the academy, these Gu people suddenly found that the environment around them changed instantly.
The original quaint academy scene disappeared, replaced by a bloody scene like purgatory.
The ground beneath their feet turned into a muddy, blood-red swamp. It was not only disgustingly slippery when stepped on, but it even had a certain fleshy feel.
It was as if they were not stepping on the ground at all, but the skin of an unknown creature.
And in the distance of this bloody land, there stands a huge mountain of bones.
The mountain is majestic and steep, like a bone sword inserted into the earth.
The blood that dyed the earth red flowed out from the junction of the bone sword and the ground. A strong smell of blood filled the entire bloody land, making people nauseous.
Not to mention that there are many hideous ghost shadows around this bloody land.
The Gu people looked at the evil ghosts from purgatory, and in a trance they saw the people who had died in their hands among these evil ghosts.
Even though they had been on the battlefield for a long time and had seen life and death before, they were still frightened by this scene.
It was an unspeakable fear, a terror that seemed to come from the deepest part of their hearts, from their conscience.
Because they were in this bloody land, the regrets in their memories came flooding back like a tide.
It diluted their original fighting spirit.
Under such circumstances, a strange scene appeared.
The first group of Gu people rushed into the school palace, but stopped after a few steps.
Afterwards, some of these people stood there crying and holding their heads in their hands, while others looked terrified and kept slashing around.
Others have crazy looks on their faces, as if they want to kill everything they encounter.
Chaos, great chaos.
The army of Gu people were well-disciplined and murderous just a second ago.
The next second, they lost their composure, and many people even started swinging their knives at their colleagues like crazy, causing heavy casualties.
Lu Chen just stood there, and most of the Gu people who had just entered the academy were killed or injured.
"Through killing, you can enter the Dao, and take karma as the law. Daoist friend Lu is truly born with a Buddhist heart."
"No, what are you talking about, you bald ass? My junior brother's swordsmanship is outstanding. Does it have anything to do with Buddha nature?"
When King Wu Miao heard Jue Chen's "big talk", he immediately jumped out to refute him.
Juechen looked at the King of Meow Meow, clasped his hands together, and said calmly: "The Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows, and the Vajra glared angrily. This is the thunder method of my Buddha. Isn't this the same as the sword domain of the Hedao realm that Fellow Daoist Lu is in now?"
"Fellow Daoist Wu Miao should know that Fellow Daoist Lu's sword domain is only effective against those who are extremely evil. If it were someone who usually does good deeds, the power of this sword domain would be greatly reduced."
"From this point alone, we can see that Fellow Daoist Lu and I have a connection."
King Meow's eyebrows twitched, and his two fangs were exposed in anger.
Okay, okay, you Buddhists are going to stop pretending, right? You have all set your goal of salvation on the future disciples of our Qingyun Sect.
What do you mean by having a connection with Buddha? I think you just think that Junior Brother Lu is extremely talented and you want to trick him into joining Buddhism.
Thinking of this, King Wumiao immediately prepared to have another chat with Juechen.
But before it could speak, noise was heard again from the academy in the distance.
Bang, bang, bang…
In the army of Daying Gu people, more than ten tall men with naked upper bodies began to beat the drums in front of them in a certain pattern.
After the sound of these military drums appeared, the army of Gu people, which had been in panic, finally calmed down.
Their eyes changed from guilt, fear, and madness to coldness.
At this moment, they seemed to have changed from their original "humans" into cold machines without any emotions and only knew how to kill.
[Military Formation: Seven Deadly Killing Formation]
[Effect: After casting, the person who forms the formation can eliminate all emotions and greatly reduce the sense of pain]
With the help of the Seven Killing Formation, the army of Gu people that had been unable to advance an inch was finally able to move forward again.
But before they could move forward for long, new trouble arose.
I saw countless arms emerging from the ground and grabbing the poisoned person.
These arms are not strong individually, but they are numerous.
Even after these poisonous creatures awaken their true selves, they have physiques comparable to those of ordinary Qi training cultivators.
But they still couldn't break free from the grasp of these arms.
A large number of Gu people kept waving their weapons, trying to cut off the arms that were grabbing them.
But their cutting speed is far slower than the speed at which new arms appear.
Soon, a large number of poisoned people were dragged into the sea of blood by these strange arms and disappeared without a trace.
However, these poisonous people seemed to not understand what death was, and they kept stepping on the corpses of their companions as they moved forward.
Their eyes were cold, and they stared at Lu Chen who was standing in the distance, motionless.
Slowly, these poisonous people got closer and closer to Lu Chen, and finally came to a distance of about a hundred meters in front of Lu Chen.
But it was this last hundred meters that was a distance they could not cross.
Because at this point, what they need to face is no longer just the strange arms on the ground.
Instead, it was a large number of blood swords condensed from the sea of blood.
Every time a flash of sword light appeared, a Gu soldier would fall down and slowly sink into the sea of blood on the ground.
For a moment, no matter how hard the army of Gu people tried.
The remaining hundred meters were like a natural chasm that made it impossible for them to cross even a little bit.
Zhao Zhongming, who was in the distance, watched this scene with deep eyes and a serious expression.
Although he had thought that Lu Chen was troublesome, he did not expect Lu Chen to be so troublesome.
He originally thought that even if Lu Chen had many tricks up his sleeve.
But after all, he is only a cultivator of the second realm.
Insufficient cultivation is Lu Chen’s fatal weakness that cannot be made up for.
That was why he let his men take action first. In addition to testing Lu Chen's other methods, he also wanted to consume Lu Chen's spiritual power.
But now it seems that his idea was a bit too naive.
Although he could not sense Lu Chen's specific cultivation level, he could find that Lu Chen had been in a state of full spiritual power from the beginning to now.
This either means that although he is only at the second level of cultivation, his spiritual power has reached a level that is beyond the reach of ordinary third level cultivators and is unfathomable.
Either that or it means that Lu Chen has a way to restore his own spiritual power.
This method allowed him to avoid running out of spiritual energy even when he was using a method that consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy, such as the Sword Domain.
In fact, at this time, the best way to deal with Lu Chen is undoubtedly to send out a large army of Gu people and also send out some third-level Gu cultivators to assist.
Even if the two sides could not defeat Lu Chen together, it would be impossible for him to be unable to move a single step like he is now.
However, he had not anticipated Lu Chen's existence and sent out Cui Chengyun and others too early.
As a result, there are no other third-level Gu cultivators around him who can help.
At this point, there is no point in continuing to send our men to their deaths.
On the contrary, it will boost Lu Chen's momentum.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongming took a step forward immediately.
Bang! This step was not heavy, but it caused the surrounding air to shake.
Even Lu Chen's sword domain of mountains of corpses and seas of blood was causing waves at this time.
Zhao Zhongming walked towards the academy step by step, and his aura became stronger with every step.
This has nothing to do with cultivation, but the power of the emperor nurtured by Zhao Zhongming, the emperor for a hundred years.
As Zhao Zhongming moved forward, the Gu people around him made way for him and half-knelt down.
By the time Zhao Zhongming arrived at the edge of Lu Chen's sword domain, there were no other living creatures in the sword domain except Lu Chen, because no other Gu people continued to enter the sword domain.
Looking at Lu Chen in the Sword Domain, Zhao Zhongming said from the bottom of his heart: "I have to admit that although you are only at the second level of cultivation, you are the strongest person I have ever met besides Master Yun."
"It's hard to imagine how powerful you will be once you reach the third realm."
"It's a pity that I can no longer see that scene, because you won't live to see it."
As he spoke, Zhao Zhongming stepped directly into Lu Chen's sea of corpses and blood.
After entering this scene, he immediately suffered a karmic backlash far exceeding that of other Gu masters.
A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of hundreds of lives. As the emperor of the Daying Dynasty, Zhao Zhongming has had his hands stained with immeasurable amounts of blood over the past few hundred years.
Ordinary people may fear the backlash of karma, but Zhao Zhongming is not afraid at all.
Looking at the ghosts baring their fangs and claws at him, Zhao Zhongming said coldly: "I am not afraid of you when you are alive, let alone after you die, get out of here!"
Zhao Zhongming's voice was full of energy, and a golden light was released from his body, directly dispersing the resentful souls and evil spirits that were seeking his life.
Then he bathed in the golden light and walked towards Lu Chen step by step.
Although countless arms stretched out from the sea of blood, trying to drag Zhao Zhongming into it.
But these arms couldn't even get close to Zhao Zhongming. After touching the golden light around his body, they melted on the spot like ice and snow encountering sunlight.
Looking at Zhao Zhongming who was moving freely in the sea of blood, Lu Chen remained calm.
This calm look made Zhao Zhongming more and more uneasy.
The unknown is always the most frightening.
It was precisely because Zhao Zhongming didn't know what Lu Chen's confidence came from that he was so wary.
You know, even the sword mountain that Lu Chen just displayed, Zhao Zhongming didn’t think it was anything special.
Because although Jianshan could seriously injure him, he could not kill him.
Unless Lu Chen can summon two sword mountains in succession in a short period of time.
Otherwise, given his current situation, he wouldn't even take Jianshan seriously.
But looking at Lu Chen's appearance, he seems to have other means besides Jianshan.
But I have no idea what this method is.
Although Zhao Zhongming spoke in a domineering manner, his vigilance in his heart was already at its highest level.
Does Lu Chen have any more cards?
Of course this is true.
It can even be said that Lu Chen had already started planning to deal with the current situation a hundred days ago.
At present, Lu Chen has three most powerful means, one is the Outer Path Sword, one is the Sealed Sky Sword Mountain, and the other one... is the Haoran Green Lotus Sword Domain.
Even theoretically speaking, the power of the Haoran Qinglian Sword Domain is even greater than that of the Outer Dao Sword and the Fengjue Tianjian Mountain.
The prerequisite is to give Lu Chen enough time to prepare.
If someone familiar with the academy carefully observes at this time, they will find that small green lotuses have appeared all around the academy.
These green lotuses are not only beautiful, they are also constantly absorbing the spiritual energy around them.
Moreover, these green lotuses did not appear at this time, but had appeared a hundred days ago.
Although the spiritual power absorbed by a single blue lotus is not much, their number is too large.
There are at least tens of thousands of blue lotuses scattered throughout the outer courtyard of the academy.
In addition, the Bailu Academy is the place with the most spiritual energy in the Daying Dynasty, and there is a hundred days' time.
The amount of spiritual power absorbed by these blue lotuses is simply difficult for ordinary people to estimate.
The reason why these blue lotuses can last for a hundred days without fading is precisely because they are not manifestations of artistic conception, but real objects.
Lu Chen relied on the characteristics of the Shangqingyun Sword to achieve the level of turning the sword into thousands of flowers.
[Name: Shangqingyun Sword]
[Rank: Third Realm]
[Entry 1: Breeze: The spirit sword rides on the wind, greatly increasing the speed of flying the sword]
[Item 2: Splitting Light: Can split into countless swords to fight the enemy]
[Item 3: Flowing Cloud: Can conceal one's own aura, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect]
The Haoran Qinglian Sword Domain is paired with the exclusive Shangqingyun Sword.
The 'Haoran Qinglian Sword' that has been accumulated for hundreds of days is Lu Chen's greatest confidence and the reason why he has never left the academy.
