Huaihe Peak.
The sword ghost crossed its legs in the air, and as it placed the sword of sword into its spiritual body, the mysterious sword chant echoed through the sky.
Around the sword ghost, the strange spiritual energy fluctuates like ripples, and the vicious energy without the seal is like a flood, rushing out of the sword and sweeping through the entire spiritual body.
The expression on the sword ghost's face rarely lost its fierceness and perverseness, and looked solemn and calm. As the fluctuations of spiritual energy around it gradually stabilized, the ferocious energy of the rising spiritual body began to shrink and take shape, actually outlining the outline of the meridians and acupuncture points.
"It really wants to prove its way with evil energy."
At the entrance of the main hall, Mu Qing did not leave. Seeing the changes in the sword ghost, he quickly reminded Su Si and the girls not far away: "Leave them quickly!"
Su Si and the girls were confronting the irrational elders. After hearing this, they did not hesitate and retreated towards the door of the main hall. Without their obstruction, the elders chased after them without hesitation.
But soon these people stopped, their faces blank for a moment, and then they attacked the people around them with fierce expressions.
The sound of the sword cutting into flesh was very intense, but no one was defending. Broken limbs and broken arms were scattered on the ground, and the scene was extremely bloody.
Seeing this, Su Si wanted to separate these people, but was stopped by Bai He.
"It's useless, we can't seal the sword puppet marks in their bodies at all."
Su Si was stunned for a moment, with a bitter expression. In the entire Huaihe Peak, the person who could temporarily seal the sword puppet mark was right in front of them, but they would never ask Mu Qing to do so.
The sword ghost was filled with blood and spinning like a horse in the air.
If the sword of swordsmanship is used as the bones and the fierce energy is used as the meridians, then these blood energy shape the flesh and blood of the sword ghost.
As the spiritual body solidified, the aura of the sword ghost became stronger and stronger, and the coercion it exuded enveloped the entire peak, like a bloody Shura controlling everyone's lives.
Mu Qing's memory was very clear, and he took the initiative to save several elders who were originally from Huaihe Peak. However, it was a pity that Fang Jun's contract imprint on his sea of consciousness had been stripped away by him. Even with the use of Jiuyou's The strength, the seal of the sword puppet mark is also not as good as before.
"We have to get further away from it."
While Mu Qing led everyone back to the main hall, he taught everyone the simplified version of Taishi's barrier technique.
Everyone worked together to form a barrier that enveloped the entire hall, and the bloody pressure that enveloped their hearts was immediately reduced by half.
After doing this, Mu Qing returned to the entrance of the hall, looking through the chaos of blood and swords, and finally found Lu Manqing's figure in the farthest distance.
At this time, the senior sister of the Wuji Sword Sect was sitting on the ground, her eyes were closed tightly, and there was no trace of blood on her face except her lips. Beside her, an elder with red eyes was holding a long sword. The tip of the sword was less than half an inch away from Lu Manqing's eyebrows.
When Mu Qing was thinking about how to rescue Lu Manqing, an old and tall figure had appeared behind the elder.
The elder of the Hidden Sword clasped his palm on the opponent's head, instantly destroying his body. Su Wuming followed the master's footsteps, hugged Lu Manqing, and rushed toward the hall.
"snort--"
The sword ghost in mid-air let out a contemptuous snort, and a blood-red sword shadow appeared in mid-air, shooting straight at Elder Zangjian. Elder Zangjian gave a light drink, and swung out a black sword energy again. In the terrifying shock wave, Zangjian Elder Sword scraped against the ground and flew over a dozen feet, and was seriously injured.
Su Wuming saw that Elder Hidden Sword was in crisis and was about to turn around when Jian Wenxuan had already passed him by. He quickly led Lu Manqing and rushed to Mu Qing, "You must save senior sister!"
Without saying a word, Mu Qing put his palms against Lu Manqing's eyebrows. Even the Hongmeng Purple Qi was consumed a lot before he stopped and said: "The mark in her sea of consciousness is very deep. If the sword ghost deliberately wants to deal with her, what we have now Nothing can be stopped."
Su Wuming gritted his teeth and said, "It is threatening the sect leader with Senior Sister."
Everyone was speechless.
Jian Wenxuan returned to the main hall with the seriously injured Elder Zangjian. Su Wuming fed his master a pill, and then asked impatiently: "Master, will the sect leader take action against the sword ghost?"
Elder Zangjian closed his eyes tiredly and said slowly:
"I am not sure."
Ye Qingyu's eyes also fell on Elder Zangjian, "There is a difference between 'I don't know' and 'I don't know."
Elder Zangjian slowly opened his eyes and said, "Aren't you always wondering, if everything goes according to his plan, how sure is he of being able to suppress the Sword Demon?"
Ye Qingyu nodded and asked: "The elder actually has a guess?"
Elder Zangjian sighed softly: "If the sect master is still the young man I know, then he will not think about suppressing the sword ghost, but destroying the sword ghost."
"Only by destroying the Sword Demon can the mark of the Sword Demon be completely dissipated once and for all."
"I'm afraid it's difficult to eliminate the true spirit attributes that can last to this day." Mu Qing frowned.
Elder Zangjian replied: "Yes, if it were still the spirit of the fairy sword before, no one could do it, but it is just a demon fetus."
Mu Qing had come into contact with the innate true spirits, as well as the acquired true spirits, but he knew very little about the method of causing a true spirit to completely perish, and the look on his face was even more curious.
Elder Zangjian shook his head and said: "It's not that troublesome. As a sword cultivator, who doesn't believe in a simple truth? As long as the sword is sharp enough and strong enough, it can split anything. The same is true when it is placed on a true spirit."
Mu Qing found it strange. What power could have such a destructive effect?
Ye Qingyu already frowned: "Can he?"
Mu Qing looked at Ye Qingyu, and Ye Qingyu said: "If Lu Tai chooses to join forces at this time to face the last catastrophe of the Holy King Realm, then it is not impossible to destroy everything and drag the Sword Demon to death together."
Bai Hesusi quickly looked at Elder Zangjian with complicated expressions. Even they themselves didn't know what kind of answer they wanted to hear.
Elder Zangjian said: "This is almost the only possibility, and Sword Demon is not unclear about it."
Elder Zangjian seemed to have remembered something and looked at Mu Qing. Seeing that he looked guilty and remorseful, he took the initiative and said, "If Wenxuan hadn't found you, it would have been a different situation."
"But no matter what it is, the outcome of some things will not change, that is, many people from our Sword Sect will still die. A few young people like Wuming alone cannot fill the appetite of a vicious ghost."
"Your appearance is nothing more than making things that were supposed to happen after the ceremony begin happen in advance. There is no need to blame yourself."
Bai He and the other girls were silent.
The Mark of the Sword Puppet is a plague that has spread throughout the Sword Sect, and no one is immune.
Mu Qing's intervention changed a lot of things, but this point could not be changed. Even Fang Jun spent a whole night just clearing the marks for a few of them, which was not enough time.
Mu Qing glanced at Lu Manqing and said in confusion: "If Sect Master Lu really cares about Sect Master Bai, then he should know that the sword ghost's transformation was interrupted after he triggered the calamity."
"The Sword Demon has regained control over the outside world. At this time, it almost wants whoever it wants to die first."
Elder Zangjian nodded.
As things have developed now, he doesn't know what other trump cards Lu Tai has.
In fact, had it not been for so many years of getting along, Lu Tai's choice to join Sword Demon to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship in the world would have been the most likely choice.
"Is there no news from the Jingming Realm yet?"
Xichuan asked.
Mu Qing shook his head, "The contract seal has been peeled off. Senior Fang Jun should know that our situation is difficult, but he still hasn't appeared, which proves that the situation of the old sect master Bai is not optimistic either."
Elder Zangjian closed his eyes again and said, "Don't expect that old guy to break through. Leave as soon as possible before the ghost outside has completed the ritual."
Mu Qing refused: "I want to see Sect Master Lu's choice."
Elder Zangjian frowned and looked at the others. Seeing that no one spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "The longer you stay here, the greater the possibility of staying here forever. Your life is yours, and you have to be responsible for yourselves."
Outside the main hall.
In just half a cup of tea, the scene took on a completely new look.
The sword ghost is still in the air, and there is no more sight on the ground.
What a bloody scene.
The living people were gone, the stumps and broken arms were gone, and even the bones and weapons were gone. The entire peak looked extremely clean.
The spiritual power in the air was so thick that it could not be dissolved, and gradually formed a long bloody river surrounding the sword ghost.
At a certain moment, the sword ghost raised his head slightly and opened his mouth.
A sword chant resounded throughout the world, and the bloody river slowly squirmed. The section closest to the sword demon began to rush into the sword demon's mouth, "Boom——"
The sword ghost's hard-to-condensed spiritual body exploded directly, turning into a deep and rich red mist that surged around the sword.
The blood-colored river intertwined with the red mist, boiling and roaring, seeping into the sword bit by bit.
The Zhanbing Sword is at the center of these two forces, like a bottomless abyss, greedily devouring it, and the cracks on its surface are being healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, apart from the people who were imprisoned in the main hall, there was only one person left in the thousands of feet of heaven and earth, and he could still watch everything with calm eyes.
The roar caused by blood energy and murderous intent was much louder than the roar of the sword. Those elders were trapped on the top of the mountain when they were alive, but after they died, they had the will to resist.
Lu Tai was thinking about this and suddenly cast his gaze into the distance.
The outline of Jinglan Peak was extremely clear under the clear skylight, and he could even see the sparkling sword light reflected from the Sword Washing Pond.
He guessed that Mu Qing had a backup plan in the Jingming Realm before Sword Demon.
This was also a very important reason why he was not determined to get rid of Mu Qing yet.
If the master could appear earlier, he would have less worries.
But there is no if.
Fortunately, it is not without unexpected gains.
The Sword Demon's transformation path would have been to use spiritual seeds to stimulate the power left by the Sword Master. He did feel that that would save fewer people from dying.
But it was obvious that the Sword Demon had been rejecting the power of the Sword Master from the very beginning. Even though he was now beginning his transformation with the help of the aura of the Sword Scripture, he still chose to use his fierce energy to join the Tao.
This proves that although it is a sword that cuts down weapons, it does not want to become a sword spirit anymore, but wants to become a complete evil spirit.
This means that the disaster he will cause next will be even more terrifying.
When Lu Tai withdrew his gaze, the sword ghost's voice suddenly sounded. As the spirit body was reshaped, it was indeed able to detect Lu Tai's subtle emotional changes more keenly, and said seriously: "So many people died under your nose, you They are all indifferent, do you really want to betray your original intention for an old man?"
"Original intention?"
Lu Tai smiled and said, "Do you know why I can calmly accept their death in front of me?"
The sword ghost didn't answer, and the bloody river stopped for a moment, suddenly shrank, gathered all its aura, and then accelerated the speed of reshaping its spiritual body.
