Jing Li saw the Demonic people possessed by evil spirits rushing towards him. Since they couldn't break through the gate of the city wall, they turned and rushed up the steps to the city gate tower.
"What should we do?" Sha Chu looked at Li Xiu with the knife in his hand.
Jiuxiaoyun has summoned the Demonic Shark and is ready to escape at any time.
Li Xiu summoned the Jedi Knights, guarded the stairs, and slashed at the evil ghosts rushing up with a bloody slash.
Bang!
Super Spirit 99's Blood Light Slash directly cut off the arm of the evil ghost in the front, but the evil ghost was completely unaware of the pain and continued to rush forward.
The Jedi Knight slashed wildly with his two swords, dismembering the evil spirits that rushed up one by one. After the bodies fell, green light floated out and condensed into green evil spirits, which pounced on the Jedi Knight again.
The Jedi Knight's blood-slashing sword slashed again and again, cutting open the ghostly body of the evil spirit, and the result was the same as Jing Li's.
No matter how fierce the Jedi's attacks, they could not truly kill the evil spirit.
"We are really in big trouble now, let's run away quickly." Jiu Xiaoyun said in horror.
"Sha Chu, go back to the building and guard the magic furnace first." Li Xiu said to Sha Chu.
Sha Chu responded and ran back into the building first.
Li Xiu looked at the evil spirits that forced the Jedi Knights to retreat, summoned the forbidden gun, and shot at the evil spirits.
Those evil ghosts were not moving very fast and did not emit any magic light. Li Xiu planned to try and see if there was any way to kill them.
Li Xiu used an ominous bullet from the seven taboos. One bullet hit the body of the evil ghost formed by the green light, and the bullet was stuck inside its body.
It seems to have some effect, but it also seems to have no effect.
The bullet was stuck in the evil ghost's body, emitting a faint bloody light. The blood marks on the bullet flickered, and the blood seemed to have permeated the evil ghost's body, which was condensed with green light, making a hint of blood appear in the green light. However, it seemed to be of no use. The evil ghost was still not affected and still rushed towards the Jedi Knight quickly.
The Jedi swung his sword at the evil ghost again, and the blood-light slash easily cut the evil ghost's body in half.
What was strange was that this time, after the evil ghost's body was cut into pieces, it did not condense together again like before. Instead, the green body actually exploded and quickly disappeared.
"How did you kill him?" Jiu Xiaoyun was delighted when he saw this.
"I don't know. Let's try using light energy of different attributes to attack the evil ghosts." Li Xiu was not happy that the ominous bullets could restrain the evil ghosts, because the ominous bullets were the same as the non-lethal bullets. Only seven of them could be used consecutively at a time. For so many evil ghosts, they were of no use at all.
Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiaoyun quickly summoned his magic spirit to attack the evil ghost, but magic spirits of various attributes were of no use to the evil ghost.
Li Xiu also summoned the Black Death Lord and the Cupid Archer. The Black Death Lord summoned a group of his minions and pounced on the evil ghost.
As a result, those evil ghosts with green light rushed directly into the body of the Black Death Demon, controlling the Black Death Demon's body to counterattack Li Xiu and the others.
Jing Li could no longer resist, as the city was full of evil spirits, and the evil spirits whose bodies he had cut off from the demon kingdom pounced on him from all directions.
Jing Li swung his knife to cut the evil ghost's body in half, then leaped onto the city wall and shouted to Li Xiu and the others, "These evil ghosts are simply immortal. You must not let them touch your body, otherwise you will be controlled."
"What the hell is this fight? Let's run for our lives." Jiu Xiaoyun shouted as he retreated.
“We must find a way to stop them. If they rush out of the trial gate, Changshengtian will be finished.” Jing Li cut open the body of the evil ghost that was rushing up and said in a cold voice.
"Stop? How? Stop it and show me. These things are immortal. Without the power to restrain them, they can't be killed at all." Jiuxiaoyun shouted.
Bang!
An evil ghost pounced towards Li Xiu, but its body suddenly turned into fragments of light and dissipated.
Jiuxiaoyun and Jingli both looked at Li Xiu, only to see that Li Xiu was holding a strange mace in his hand. He swung the mace at the evil ghost, immediately smashing the immortal evil ghost into pieces, and its body dissipated.
"What kind of contract is that?" Jiu Xiaoyun asked in surprise.
Li Xiu did not answer, but just swung his magic mace to smash the evil ghost that rushed towards the Jedi Knight into pieces.
"Guard the city gate tower. As long as the city gate tower is intact, those evil spirits will not be able to break out of the trial gate." Jing Li shouted to Li Xiu.
"Okay." Li Xiu led the magic spirit back into the building.
He guarded the door of the building and smashed the evil ghosts that rushed over one by one. The magic mace was so powerful that the evil ghosts that were touched by the magic mace had no ability to resist at all and their souls were instantly shattered.
"What a powerful Qi!" Jiu Xiaoyun drooled with envy, and had the urge to kill Li Xiu to get his equipment.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that even if Li Xiu gave him the magic mace, he would have no way to use it.
The spiritual mace is not driven by light energy, but by Li Xiu's spiritual consciousness.
The Jedi Knight and Jing Li stood on both sides of Li Xiu, and first killed out the evil ghosts that possessed the Demonic people. Then Li Xiu smashed them with his magic mace to prevent multiple evil ghosts from attacking at the same time, so that Li Xiu would not be overwhelmed.
But there were more and more evil ghosts. The inner city was already filled with evil ghosts, and the corridors were also full of evil ghosts. The evil ghosts that could not squeeze in climbed up directly from the city wall, and the city wall was also full of evil ghosts.
After a while, the gates of the buildings were covered with evil spirits, and some even climbed in through the windows, making Li Xiu and his men overwhelmed.
Jiuxiaoyun also wielded a thin sword and tried his best to chop the evil ghosts. Jing Li slashed towards Shachu from time to time to help Shachu resist the evil ghosts.
Li Xiu swung his magic mace frantically, but these evil ghosts could not be killed at all. More and more evil ghosts rushed in, and it was too late to kill them all.
When several people were about to be unable to resist, they suddenly saw a flash of black light in front of their eyes, and the evil spirits that rushed into the city gate tower suddenly disappeared, as if they were sucked away by the black light.
"Lao Dao!" Li Xiu saw Lao Dao's figure appear at the door, and the broken knife in his hand emitted a strange magic light.
"Let's all retreat." Lao Dao ignored Li Xiu and the others, straightened his back, stood outside the door and said lightly.
The evil ghosts who had been fearless and fearless before actually retreated like the tide.
"Elder Dao is awesome!" Jiu Xiaoyun shouted excitedly.
Li Xiu was a little surprised. Those evil ghosts were so afraid of Lao Dao. It was really beyond his expectation.
Jing Li stared at Lao Dao's back with burning eyes. Even if the trial-taker who was refining swords in Changsheng City was not a fan of Lao Dao, he was definitely practicing with the goal of defeating Lao Dao. Jing Li was the latter.
The evil spirits that filled the walls and the city retreated completely in a moment, and not even a single evil spirit could be seen inside the city.
Lao Dao stood on the city wall, but did not put away his sword. He just stared coldly at the city gate inside.
"Others use contracts to support people, but you use people to support contracts. You are really an anomaly." A faint voice came from behind the gate of the inner city.
Lao Dao looked at the gate of the inner city and grinned, "Do you want to try my sword?"
"How many more cuts can your body take?" the faint voice said again.
"One sword strike is enough to kill you." Lao Dao said with a smile.
"And then? Will you give your life to that knife?" A faint voice said, "Get out of the way, and I can restore your body to a new life, so you won't be trapped by the pain anymore."
"As an old man, I just like to have some scars on my body. After living with scars for so many years, if the pain suddenly goes away, I really won't be used to it." Lao Dao said.
"Since you are so determined to die, I will grant your wish." After the voice finished speaking, there was no movement.
boom!
The gate of the inner city, which had already been full of cracks, suddenly shattered, and swarms of evil spirits returned, rushing towards the gate tower of the city like a tide.
Lao Dao narrowed his eyes slightly, and the broken sword in his hand shone brightly. The magic light condensed into a blade in front of the broken sword, and it actually took on a physical form, causing the broken sword to regenerate and turn into a complete magic sword.
"The knife...raise..." Lao Dao raised the magic knife in his hand.
The moment the magic knife was raised, the evil ghosts in the city seemed to be hit by countless invisible knives. The evil ghosts that possessed the people of the Demon Kingdom in the city were instantly split in half. The city was immediately filled with blood and no one was left alive.
Countless green lights floated out from the corpses and turned into evil spirits filled with green light in the sky, sweeping towards Lao Dao standing on the city gate tower like green clouds pressing down on a mountain.
"The knife... falls..." The magic knife in Lao Dao's hand fell. The evil ghosts in the sky filled with green light seemed to be attracted by some magic power and rushed towards the magic knife madly, and were actually sucked in by the magic knife.
The magic light on the magic knife became more and more weird, as if a demon was twisting and roaring on the blade, as if it was ready to devour someone at any time.
There were so many evil spirits surging in the inner city that no one dared to rush into the inner city.
"The sword has been possessed by the devil and has taken over its master. You are dead now. Is it worth it to risk your life to guard the gate?" The faint voice came from the inner city again.
"As long as I am here and Dao is here, no gods or ghosts can open this door. Even if I am not here and Dao is here, even if God comes, he has to stand in front of the door obediently." Lao Dao said lightly.
There was silence in the inner city for a while. After a while, the evil ghosts in the inner city slowly disappeared, and after a while, no figure was seen again.
puff!
Lao Dao opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. While the blood was still in the air, it was actually sucked into the magic knife in his hand and disappeared into the magic knife.
"Lao Dao!" Seeing this, Li Xiu wanted to go over and support Lao Dao, but Lao Dao stopped him with his hand.
"I won't die yet." Lao Dao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The hand holding the magic knife was shaking. He didn't know whether it was his hand shaking or the magic knife.
After a long time, the magic knife gradually stopped shaking, and was stabbed into the chest by Lao Dao and disappeared.
"Did the Fire Lotus Sword merge with the spirit successfully?" Lao Dao turned and walked into the building, looking at the Demon Refining Furnace.
Li Xiu and the other two also looked towards the Demon Refining Furnace. The golden flame inside the furnace had gone out at some point in time.
Lao Dao walked to the Demon Refining Furnace and opened the lid of the furnace. A red and gold sword light flashed out and flew in front of Li Xiu.
The appearance of the Fire Lotus Sword has not changed much, but the magic light on the sword seems to be swaying like a fire lotus, and it flows like lotus flowers blooming and withering.
"Huh, it's actually super spiritual!" Lao Dao glanced at the Fire Lotus Sword, seeming a little surprised.
The demon spirit refined in the demon refining furnace should only be an S-level radiant demon spirit, which can at most upgrade the contract to S-level. However, a spirit shadow has appeared on the Fire Lotus Sword, which is obviously in a super-spiritual state.
Li Xiu stretched out his hand and grabbed the hilt of the Fire Lotus Sword. He felt infinite power flowing endlessly within the Fire Lotus Sword. With a casual wave of his hand, the sword light bloomed like a lotus. Although he only swung the sword once, countless sword lights were generated.
Fire Lotus Sword: Parasitic Contract.
Grade: S.
Quality: Brilliant.
Original embryo quality: 60.8
The upper limit of super spirit: ninety-nine percent.
Innate skills: Fire Lotus Sword Spirit, Fire Lotus Life, Fire Lotus Sword in the Furnace, Fire Lotus Body Protecting Sword Light, Fire Lotus Sword Intent.
Li Xiu was amazed. This was an attribute that could be upgraded to light-based at any time, and it had five full skills.
Lao Dao took a look at the Fire Lotus Sword and said, "You are lucky, the quality of the original embryo of this sword is very good."
Li Xiu coiled the Fire Lotus Sword around his waist and said to Lao Dao, "What's wrong with you? The Evil Ghost King said you would die, is it true or not?"
"I have an old injury and I don't have much time left. It's not surprising that I'm dying." Lao Dao said indifferently.
"What's wrong with your sword? Your body has not been promoted to the light-based level, but your sword..." Li Xiu saw clearly that Lao Dao was just a super-spiritual trial-taker, but his sword was even more terrifying than the light-based level.
"We chose different paths. Some people merged the contract to build a foundation, but I just took another path." Lao Dao said jokingly, "This path is a bit difficult, but I like it. Although I may not live as long as those guys, I have gone further than them. Are you interested in taking my path?"
"Not interested. I want to live longer." Li Xiu said.
There was a hint of disappointment in Lao Dao's eyes. He was not just joking, but really hoped that Li Xiu could follow his path.
"Elder Dao, if you are willing to teach me, I am willing to follow your path." Jing Li on the side suddenly said.
Lao Dao was slightly startled, looked at Jing Li and said, "You can be promoted to Light Base at any time, why do you have to take this path?"
"I am me, the knife is the knife, and I don't want to become a knife." Jing Li said.
"Haha, you don't want to abandon the path of forgetting love, but you don't want to really forget love. You want to separate the self from the world, right?" Lao Dao looked at Jing Li and smiled.
"That's right. I hope Elder Dao can help me." Jing Li saluted.
"Well, although it is not what I want, it has to be this way. If I don't teach you, this road will be cut off in the future." Lao Dao said after a moment of silence: "You don't need to worship me as your master. I only have three days to teach you. How much you can learn depends on your own luck."
Jing Li nodded and said nothing more.
"You guys go out now. I want to teach him the magic sword technique. If you have nothing else, clean up the city wall. It's an eyesore." Lao Dao drove Li Xiu and the other two out.
The three of them came to the city wall and cleaned up the corpses and bloodstains on the ground.
These corpses are all from the Demon Country who are possessed by evil spirits. They look no different from humans. If you don't say they are from the Demon Country, you can't tell any difference between them and humans on Earth.
Jiu Xiaoyun said as he cleaned up, "Li Xiu, you have missed a great opportunity. Although Elder Dao's magic sword is different from the normal light-based one, it is unique. Even among the four major families, no one dares to say that they can stop Elder Dao's magic sword. If this method is combined with your light-seeding method, you don't even need to merge with the symbiotic contract to condense your meridians. Why not do it?"
Li Xiu glanced at the city gate tower, shook his head slightly and sighed, but said nothing.
The three men took great efforts to clean up the city. All the corpses were thrown into a large pit in the inner city and buried with the rubble of collapsed buildings.
For two or three days, Jing Li and Lao Dao did not come out of the city gate tower. When the third day was almost over, Jing Li walked out alone, came to Li Xiu and said, "General, Elder Dao wants you to go through."
Li Xiu nodded, walked quickly up to the city gate tower, pushed the door and walked in.
Li Xiu saw Lao Dao leaning against the magic furnace. His body was extremely thin and there was almost no flesh on his face. It was like a layer of skin attached to the bones, without a trace of blood.
Next to him, the magic knife was stuck in the ground. Even though it was no longer in Lao Dao's hand, it still hadn't returned to its broken form.
Li Xiu saw a faint bloody smell emanating from the magic knife, which made him frown.
"Boy, do you really not want to try my way?" Lao Dao took a puff of his pipe and said slowly while exhaling the smoke.
"Why don't you continue on your own path? You can start a new one." As soon as Li Xiu said this, the magic knife next to him made a ringing sound, and the blade shook violently. The blade actually turned around and aimed at Li Xiu, as if it was going to fly out from the ground and chop him.
Lao Dao held the handle of the knife with one hand and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, old friend."
After a while, the magic sword stopped making noises, but the blade was still pointing at Li Xiu, and it was obvious that it was very unhappy with him.
"I, an old man, really don't like the name of the Symbiotic Contract. Living and dying together, what a precious feeling. If one can sacrifice the other at will, how can it be called living and dying together? I will die and the sword will live. This is good and what I wish for." Old Sword said as he stroked the magic sword.
"Is it more important than your life?" Li Xiu couldn't understand Lao Dao's thoughts.
"My life is life, and its life is life too." Lao Dao shook his head and sighed, "I understand why you don't want to follow my path. Whatever, we can't force different ideas."
After a moment's silence, Lao Dao began to mutter something to himself.
"Old Dao, why are you doing this? Jing Li has already inherited your mantle." Li Xiu said with a wry smile.
"I'm telling you my story, whether you want to listen or not." Lao Dao said and continued reading.
Li Xiu looked at Lao Dao and sat down, listening to Lao Dao reading word by word.
His memory was naturally impeccable. Lao Dao only read it once and he remembered it all.
Lao Dao wanted to read it a second time, but Li Xiu said, "No need to read it again, I have already memorized it. Let's talk about something else."
"Just remember it." Lao Dao laughed.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Li Xiu asked.
"I have no children and am alone. There is nothing left for me to be attached to in this world. If there is anything I cannot let go of, it is this." Lao Dao said as he stroked the magic knife.
"What do you want to do with it?" Li Xiu asked.
"If I die and he stays, he will have to guard Tianmen from now on. What else can I do?" Lao Dao sighed, "Come and see him more often when you have time. If one day... I mean if there is such a day... he is no longer needed here... find a way to take him away... it's too boring here..."
