Chapter 118: Do I need a sword to kill him?
Gu An and Wu Jue exchanged their feelings about enlightenment and talked until the next morning. Both of them benefited greatly.
Before leaving, Wu Jue once again reminded him not to reveal his enlightenment to anyone else.
Seeing that the other party was so cautious, Gu An smiled and assured.
Wu Jue watched Gu An leave, a smile spreading across his face.
After living in Taixuan Sect for so many years, Gu An was the first true friend he made. Before, he was very inferior and did not dare to communicate much with others. The only person he was familiar with was his master, so his master’s death was a great shock to him.
Wu Jue turned around and went back to the house to continue practicing, while looking forward to the next communication with Gu An.
After staying in the city for half an hour, Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley. After inspecting the medicine valley, he left in a hurry again.
He first stayed in Xuan Valley for half an hour, and then came to Xuantian Cave.
A lot of medicinal herbs have been planted in Xuantian Cave, but it is still far from being fully planted.
Gu An plans to plant medicinal herbs of level five or above here. This is his private territory, a place that truly no one knows about.
Jiang Qiong and Haolong knew about the Bajing Cave Heaven, but only he knew about the Xuantian Cave Mansion.
During the planting process, he felt the scent of battle coming from the north.
The aura of the Nine Netherworld Road is still there and has lasted for several months. The Nine Dynasties have continuously sent monks to fight, temporarily curbing the rebellion of the Epiphyllum Sect.
This is normal. If the Epiphyllum Sect was far more powerful than the Nine Dynasties, it would have swept across the Nine Dynasties long ago.
Gu An didn't pay attention to the battle in the distance, he was concentrating on planting grass.
He can stay in Xuantian Cave Mansion tonight. Since it is already the end of the month, if Li Ya wants to contact him, he can't miss it.
Since Gu An and Li Ya had agreed, Li Ya did not find a mountaintop to reveal his aura at the end of the month. It might be because he had no choice. Gu An was not in a hurry either. Anyway, he would come to Xuantian Cave Mansion at the end of every month, and then use his spiritual sense to explore the north and search for Li Ya's aura.
In this way, Gu An planted all the seeds he brought and set up a formation. When night fell, he used the Nine-Polar Yin-Yang Body, transformed into a demon shadow, and rushed towards the north.
…
Under the cover of night, Li Ya, carrying the Beihai heavy sword on his back, came to the top of the mountain. He looked up and saw mountains and forests in front of him, with no end in sight. The night sky was covered with dark clouds, and no stars or moon could be seen.
"This place is so far away from the Beihai Mountains. I don't know if the ancestor can find me." Li Ya thought worriedly.
The voice of the old ancestor sounded in his mind: "The great monks of the Nine Dynasties have appeared one after another, but they have never been able to shake that female monk. When the leader of the Epiphyllum Sect arrives, it will be even more dangerous. Even if the ancestor arrives, he will not be able to turn the tide."
He also believed that Gu An was the ancestor of the Li family, but he did not have confidence in the ancestor.
The ancestor’s realm was higher than his when he was alive, but there were also such people in the lineage of the leader of the Epiphyllum Sect, and there was more than one.
After hearing this, Li Ya fell into silence.
He turned his head to look, his mind scattered, fearing that a monk from the Epiphyllum Sect was following him.
After making sure that no one was following him, Li Ya took off his heavy sword and meditated on the spot.
He placed the heavy sword on his legs, stroking it carefully, feeling the blade.
He has already mastered a bit of the Taicang Jingshen Sword's sword intent. The longer he studies the Taicang Jingshen Sword, the more he feels that this sword technique is profound and unfathomable. As long as this sword technique is perfected, he will be able to dominate the same realm, and even fight across realms.
The cold wind blew, and although there was no snow, it was still freezing cold.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
A figure appeared behind Li Ya and looked at him quietly.
It was Gu An, who was using the Nine Extreme Yin and Yang Body, and he was observing Li Ya's attainments in swordsmanship.
Not bad, it lived up to his swordsmanship attainments.
"He's coming..."
The ancestor's voice sounded in Li Ya's ears, with a complicated tone.
Hearing this, Li Ya opened his eyes and turned his head. When he saw Gu An, he immediately got up and saluted Gu An with the Beihai heavy sword in hand.
Now he can already lift the Beihai heavy sword with one hand.
"Meet the First Ancestor!"
Gu An was too lazy to explain Li Ya's address. At least the best thing would be to avoid people guessing his true identity.
"Tell me about the situation of the Epiphyllum Sect." Gu An said, speaking in a different voice as usual.
Li Ya began to report the situation.
Now all the members of the Epiphyllum Sect have gathered in front of the entrance to the Nine Netherworld Road, with their number exceeding one million. Every Epiphyllum Sect monk has been planted with the Epiphyllum Seal, making it impossible for those wavering monks to escape.
He mentioned the Epiphyllum Tree. Almost every day there were monks who went to deal with the Epiphyllum Sect, and eventually they died and became nutrients for the Epiphyllum Tree.
When talking about this tree, Li Ya, who has always been fearless, also showed a look of fear on his face.
Gu An didn’t care about these things. He was only curious about how strong the strongest person in the Epiphyllum Sect’s lineage was.
Unfortunately, Li Ya didn't know either. After chatting for a long time, they were all talking about the battle around the Epiphyllum Tree and didn't mention the situation inside the Nine Nether Road.
"I was wondering why you sneaked out. It turns out you wanted to pass on information. It seems that your backers are helpless and unable to respond to you."
A scornful laugh was heard, shocking Li Ya's face and changing drastically. He looked behind Gu An.
I saw Jinghongke dressed as a scholar walking out of the woods, and Gu An, who had his back to him, did not turn around.
"Magic Shadow Magic Skill, I wonder which master of Qianqiu Pavilion you are?" Jinghongke asked with a smile. He then took down the bookcase behind him, placed it in front of him, and then reached out to flip through it.
Before Gu An opened his mouth, Li Ya said in a hurry: "Ancestor, his name is Jing Hongke, he is the one who captured my ancestor's soul before, he is very strong, you must not be careless!"
Gu An tilted his head and glanced at the surprised guest out of the corner of his eye.
[Jinghongke (9th level of Fusion Realm): 1209/3020/3030]
He is at the ninth level of the Fusion Realm. No wonder he is so arrogant.
Such a cultivation level is enough to dominate the Taicang Dynasty! Gu An slowly turned around and looked at Jing Hongke who was looking for something. He was not in a hurry and looked at Jing Hongke's outfit.
A great monk at the ninth level of the fusion realm still needs to find things with his bare hands?
This guy obviously thinks he has Gu An in his hands, and is deliberately trying to mess with Gu An and Li Ya's mentality.
"Ancestor? So you are a family. Then I will torture you to death in front of him to make him give up his evil thoughts." Jinghongke sneered.
Upon hearing this, Li Ya immediately came to Gu An and presented the Beihai heavy sword in his hand to Gu An.
"Do I need a sword to kill him?"
Gu An's hoarse voice rang out, which made Li Ya stunned, and Jinghongke stopped searching for things.
Jinghongke looked up at Gu An. The two of them were standing on the slope, and Gu An was taller than him.
He couldn't see Gu An's true face, but for some reason, he felt uneasy when looking at the other person's figure.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
He suddenly pulled out a scroll from the bookcase. When the scroll was opened, horrific magma erupted, covering the sky and the sun with a huge momentum.
Li Ya stayed where he was, too late to react.
Gu An raised his right hand at an extremely fast speed, and shot out a beam of light with a flick of his fingers, piercing through the terrifying magma and forcefully hitting Jinghongke's throat, causing blood to spurt out from the back of his neck.
Jinghongke opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of disbelief.
As he leaned back, a foot stepped on his back.
Boom! The mountains trembled violently. Under Li Ya's gaze, the Jinghong guest who was so powerful that he once despaired was stepped on by the ancestor, and the gravel was blown away.
“Uh…”
Jinghongke spat out a mouthful of blood. He discovered in despair that his spiritual power was suppressed inside his body and could not leave it at all. He could not even cast spells to move around.
He had never felt such oppression before.
Even a great cultivator at the Xuanxin realm could not suppress him like this.
Could it be that he has reached the fifth level of the Xuanxin Realm?
Jinghongke felt absurd.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Gu An began to stomp his feet, stepping on Jing Hongke's back again and again. The blood under Jing Hongke's body became more and more, and cracks appeared on the mountain.
Gu An, with dark purple demonic energy lingering all over his body, looked like a demon from the underworld. Even Li Ya couldn't help but feel a little scared at this moment.
The soul of his ancestor in his body also fell into silence.
After being kicked nine times in a row, Jinghongke had lost his fighting ability.
Gu An's right foot ignited the Taiqing True Fire, which attached to Jinghongke's body. He then stepped back, took out Jinghongke's soul with his left hand, and picked up the bookcase next to him with his right hand.
Jing Hongke's body was quickly burned to ashes, and Gu An's figure disappeared, leaving only one sentence:
"From now on, try your best to stay alive, and don't come out to look for me again."
Li Ya stood on the hillside, looking at the Jinghongke who had been burned to ashes, and remained silent for a long time.
It took a long time.
He couldn't help but ask in his heart: "Do you still think that the ancestor has no strength to fight against the leader of the Epiphyllum Sect?"
The ancestor did not answer.
…
Inside the Xuantian Cave, Gu An was sitting in front of a stone table, performing the soul-stealing technique on Jinghongke's soul.
Jinghongke was indeed not from the Ninth Dynasty. He came from the lineage of the leader of the Tanhua Sect and he came here very early.
Three hundred years ago, the leader of the Epiphyllum Sect descended on the land of the Nine Dynasties. He and several of his fellow disciples separated. While the other fellow disciples went to carry out the leader's plan and look for a suitable puppet sect, he traveled alone in search of immortality.
The reason why he dared to act so uniquely was because he was a core disciple of the main lineage and had a prominent background.
Two hundred years ago, he saw the powerful Lu Baitian and felt that he was no match for him, so he avoided him and lay dormant for two hundred years.
The reason why the leader of the Epiphyllum Sect came to the Land of Nine Dynasties was because they knew that the Land of Nine Dynasties would be devoured by demons. In their opinion, the human race here would die sooner or later, so it would be better to contribute to the Epiphyllum tree.
The Epiphyllum tree likes the spiritual power and flesh and blood of human cultivators the most. If it can devour a person of the Nine Dynasties, it can transcend destiny and reach the legendary ninth level.
At that time, the Epiphyllum Tree could open the Nine Netherworld Road at any time, providing convenience for the Epiphyllum Sect's leader to act wherever they wanted.
Through Jinghongke's memory, Gu An learned about the status and hierarchy of the main lineage of the Tanhua Sect. The Jin Lingzun whom he had killed before was one of the hundred masters of the main lineage. All of the hundred masters had the cultivation level of the Xuanxin Realm, and the master of the main lineage even crossed the Xuanxin Realm five hundred years ago and reached the legendary Mahayana Realm.
In other words, there is only one person in the lineage of the leader of the Epiphyllum Sect who is at the Mahayana stage!
In five hundred years, can that meridian master reach the ninth level of Mahayana realm?
Gu An thought silently.
After several hours, he withdrew his consciousness, killed Jinghongke, and took away another 209 years of life.
Gu An placed his right hand on the bookcase, tapping it lightly with his index finger, his eyes flickering.
No more waiting! Tomorrow we will solve the Epiphyllum tree under the Jiuyou Road, so as to avoid more trouble. Anyway, if he doesn't take action, the leader of the Epiphyllum Sect will not give up!
