Could it be that he has always been hiding his clumsiness?
Before he had time to think about it, the sword energy thunder shadow had already pierced the void, and the invisible murderous intention was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread out in all directions.
Fast, extremely fast!
Taoist Qingxu only felt the lightning flash in front of his eyes, and the sword energy was already in front of him. He had no time to react. He could only watch the sword energy stabbing him between the eyebrows.
Seeing this scene in the distance, Zhou Mingjing's eyelids twitched, his expression was shocked, and his heart almost jumped into his throat. It was obvious that the two of them were fighting back and forth just now, so why has the situation reversed now? How could Taoist Qingxu be defeated so easily?
If he died here today, the Kunlun Taoist Sect would definitely not let it go, and things would be bad then!
At this moment, when the karma-killing sword was still an inch away from Taoist Qingxu's eyebrows, the murderous intent revealed on the sword's edge made even his soul feel a sharp sting.
At this moment, a handle of jade Ruyi suddenly appeared above his heavenly spirit, with strands of light hanging down, like an umbrella canopy that firmly protected Taoist Qingxu.
On top of the karma-killing sword, Senhan's sword energy was suffocating, making it difficult to break through the jade Ruyi's protection.
After escaping from death, Taoist Qingxu woke up from his trance. The look of fear was still in his eyes. He looked at the jade Ruyi above his head and said happily, "It turns out that Master hid this Jade Ruyi on my body."
"A magic weapon for protection?"
Su Ming was a little stunned when the decisive blow was blocked, but he was relieved immediately. After all, it was normal for direct disciples of the Kunlun Taoist Sect to have one or two magic weapons to protect themselves.
He recalled the karma-slaying sword and kept it in his dantian, but did not take any further action. There is only one chance. Now that he is on guard, he will not have such a good opportunity again unless he stops holding back and uses all his strength.
Moreover, from beginning to end, Su Ming never thought of killing him. Direct disciples of the Kunlun Taoist Sect were not so easy to kill. As the leader of the Taoist sect in the world, he also has the power of the soul, which is not something he can deal with now.
If the Kunlun Taoist sect puts pressure on the imperial court, the old emperor may not stand up for himself. He may very well abolish his position as national master, take back the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then throw himself out as a scapegoat.
"Huh~"
On the other side, Zhou Mingjing, who was watching the battle, took a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, Taoist Qingxu had many magic weapons on his body, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.
At the same time, everything that just happened refreshed his understanding. It turned out that Yuanying monks could still be so strong. He had no doubt that the national master in front of him could even fight across borders and compete with the mighty Yuanshen.
"I lost!"
After a moment of shock, Taoist Qingxu quickly calmed down, and the murderous intent in his heart gradually faded away. He recalled the Wushuang Sword and simply gave up.
Now, it was useless to think too much, and he had no intention of continuing the fight. This person was obviously hiding his clumsiness and his swordsmanship, but he repeatedly threatened him with words, which made him have to take action.
Today's battle really benefited him a lot, and at the same time, it shattered his arrogance. He has always considered himself to be the direct descendant of Kunlun, and his practice has been smooth. Since his debut, he has had almost no opponents.
But today, he realized that he had underestimated the monks in the world.
This Pudu Cihang is worthy of being number one on the ladder list, and he is convinced that he lost this battle.
Seeing him admitting defeat, Su Ming gave him a deep look and then withdrew his gaze, "Since you have admitted defeat, you must not pester me, otherwise, this magic weapon will not be able to save you a second time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a sword light and disappeared.
After he left, Taoist Qingxu sighed and left the place.
······
After the battle with Taoist Qingxu, Su Ming found a mountaintop for retreat to sort out his experiences from the battle.
This time, he almost used up the luck points he had previously unblocked and exchanged it for the Tathagata Sword Art. Like the Great Sun Tathagata Curse, this sword art was also named Tathagata and cost him 70,000 luck points. .
Not long ago, Su Ming saw the Qiyun Mall refresh, but he had been struggling with whether to buy it or not.
Today, when he was fighting Taoist Qingxu, he realized his shortcomings.
In terms of cultivation, he is the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul, and in terms of realm, he is half-step Yuanshen. At the same time, his body training cultivation has also reached an extremely high level.
However, he has a huge shortcoming, that is, he does not have a powerful means to fight the enemy. He has powerful magic power, but he cannot fully use it.
In the Great Zhou Library, he found a lot of secret techniques, but he had mastered those secretarial skills to a great extent. He could still crush those at a lower level than him, and he could even deal with the ordinary Nascent Soul Dzogchen. Even a monk can win.
But if he were to face a direct disciple of Kunlun like Daoist Shang Qingxu, it would be difficult for him to defeat him. The direct disciples of a large sect, who practice all kinds of miraculous skills and secrets, plus the training and guidance of the elders of the sect, are far from those casual cultivators. comparable.
Although Su Ming was not a casual cultivator and had no shortage of training resources, he was still far behind the three major sects. After all, at this point, there are not many people who can give him guidance.
Without strong means of fighting the enemy and trump cards, he will suffer a lot in future fights, and he cannot fight with his body every time. Such shortcomings are too big and can be easily restrained.
Like today, if he fights with his body, he will lose.
Therefore, during the battle, Su Ming exchanged the Tathagata Sword Technique without hesitation and spent 10,000 fortunes to directly cultivate to the first level.
Like the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, the Tathagata Sword Art is a sword art that directly points to the avenue of the soul. When used in conjunction with the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, the effect is far greater than one plus one.
Just the first level of Tathagata Sword Technique raised his swordsmanship by several levels. Not only did he learn sword escape, sword light differentiation, sword energy and thunder, but also various powerful sword moves and sword techniques. .
If he steps into the realm of Yuanshen, the power of the Tathagata Sword Art will be even higher, not to mention the more powerful forbidden moves in it. After all, purchasing this set of sword art cost him 70,000 Qi. Luck, looking at it now, everything is worth it.
It can be said that after practicing the Tathagata Sword Technique, his shortcomings can be considered completed.
Therefore, this time, he would like to thank Taoist Qingxu. If it weren't for him, he would not have realized this so early. If he waits until the time of transcending the heavenly tribulation, he will be even more passive.
After staying in seclusion for a few days, Su Ming digested the gains from this battle, and then traveled around the world, sealing off the land of Yin Tide and accumulating luck. At the same time, he was constantly looking for opportunities to step into the realm of the soul.
The appearance of the young man in black aroused his alarm. Someone was already preparing to deal with Da Zhou. He must seize the time to improve his strength.
A few days later, news of the battle between Su Ming and Taoist Qingxu spread throughout the world of immortality.
For a time, there was an uproar, and both the casual cultivators and the sect monks were talking about it. This battle was not about slaying demons, but another collision between Dazhou and the immortal cultivating sect.
And this sect of cultivating immortals is the Kunlun Taoist sect, one of the three sects in the world of cultivating immortals. Moreover, the direct disciple of the Kunlun Taoist sect lost, which is the most surprising thing.
Taoist Qingxu of the Kunlun Taoist Sect is known as the monk most likely to break through to the realm of Yuanshen in the world of immortality in the past century. At the same time, he is also the youngest Yuanying monk of the Kunlun Taoist sect. He has unparalleled combat power and once broke into the Shiwan Mountain alone. , killed several Nascent Soul demons.
Moreover, among the rankings compiled by Feng Man Lou, Taoist Qingxu was ranked first, while Great Zhou Imperial Master Pudu Cihang was ranked second.
Compared to the great reputation of Taoist Ruiqingxu, few people know about the Great Zhou Dynasty Master Pudu Cihang. He suddenly appeared in front of the world like a shooting star.
He climbed to the top of the ladder list for the first time and won the position of National Master, which shocked countless people and frustrated the calculations of many forces.
However, his existence is like a mystery, no one knows his details, and after he became the Imperial Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he fell silent and did not make any moves.
Later, because of his performance on the ladder list, Feng Manlou ranked him second on the ladder list, while Taoist Qingxu was still first on the ladder list.
But as time went by, other people gradually lost interest in this matter and stopped paying attention.
Now, Pudu Cihang, the imperial master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is fighting against Taoist Qingxu, the direct descendant of Kunlun. Does this mean that the Great Zhou Dynasty will re-enter the world of immortality and start a feud with the Kunlun Taoist sect?
After all, Su Ming's identity is different. He is now the Great Zhou Imperial Master Pudu Cihang, representing the Great Zhou court.
What is more important than this is that the famous Taoist Qingxu actually lost. This is the most surprising thing.
Therefore, this matter quickly spread throughout the entire world of immortality.
For a time, there were different opinions.
This matter was immediately reported to Emperor Shenwu by Zhou Mingjing, the commander of Jiangnan Dao Xuanjing Division. However, when the news was passed on, Emperor Shenwu did not respond.
It was not until the monks who secretly watched the battle spread the word that day that the incident became widely known.
The day after this incident spread, Feng Manlou updated the list. The heavenly list remained unchanged, and the number one on the earthly list was no longer Taoist Qingxu, but the Great Zhou Guoshi Pudu Cihang.
Regarding this matter, Kunlun Taoist Sect had no response. Even Taoist Qingxu himself did not respond and disappeared in front of the world.
At this moment, within the Shiwan Mountain, a sword light roared past and cut a golden lion into two pieces. A figure wearing a Taoist robe slowly came to the body of the golden lion. He looked at the sword marks on the body, shook his head, turned and left, not even caring about the body on the ground.
This is a Nascent Soul Demon!
This person was Taoist Qingxu who disappeared. On the day the war ended, he stopped traveling and directly entered Shiwan Mountain with his sword.
Although Su Ming did not kill him, the pressure on him was unprecedentedly strong. He had never been defeated before!
Therefore, he did not return to Kunlun and practice in the mortal world. Instead, he entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains to fight and fight. Here, there are countless monsters and dangerous places, and there are dangers everywhere.
He wants to practice his sword here.
······
And just when Su Ming traveled to the south of the Yangtze River and Taoist Qingxu went deep into the Shiwan Mountains, something happened again in the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Ahem, damn it!" A ray of light cut across the sky, making an urgent voice.
"Haha, Chen Faxuan, let's just surrender, you can't escape!" In the void, a dark figure was chasing the escaping light, laughing wantonly and wildly.
"Ahem!" Red blood spilled into the sky. Chen Faxuan stopped and stopped running away. The person he is now is completely different from the person he was two years ago.
Now, his face is pale, his breath is low, and his scholar's robe is covered with blood and scars, especially on his face, a deep scar visible to the bone is printed on his face, which is ferocious and terrifying. Now, on that scar There was still blood dripping.
Two years ago, he came to the northwest border to investigate the ban on the ancient battlefield. However, he was unexpectedly attacked and strayed into the ancient battlefield. He wandered around the ancient battlefield for a year and a half before he found a way out.
After leaving with the help of the magic weapon, he was about to leave the northwest and return to the capital of Zhongzhou to report to Emperor Shenwu. However, not long after he left the ancient battlefield, he was attacked again.
This attack was different from the last one. A dozen Nascent Soul monks and several magic weapons were used in order to kill him.
Moreover, those people made a lot of preparations for this attack.
They sealed off the entire northwest, and all the messages and secret reports they sent were like falling into the sea without any response. Chen Faxuan also secretly found the Xuanjing Division's station, hoping to use the court's legal network to leave and deliver the message.
However, he did not expect that every time he went to a city, he would find that the French net covering the city had been corroded, and the gods who were in charge of the French net had all fallen. Even the French net that protected the people was also used by them to confuse the people.
When the gods rebelled, all the Xuanjing Division's strongholds were pulled out, and not a single one was left. After two days of escaping, Chen Faxuan noticed this and stopped seeking help from the Xuanjing Division.
Under the pursuit of more than a dozen Nascent Soul monks, Chen Faxuan was no match for him even though he was the Nascent Soul Dzogchen and was in charge of several magic weapons. He fled for half a month, but could not escape from the northwest. The entire northwest was surrounded by magic circles, and Nascent Soul monks were prohibited from leaving.
With the help of a magic weapon that concealed his aura, he was able to escape from death many times.
But as time went by, those people found him faster and faster, and he suffered more and more injuries, and he was no longer as prosperous as he was back then.
He understood that the enemy was waiting for him with a dragnet set up to capture him alive. Perhaps, these people wanted to obtain the secrets of the imperial court from him.
Or maybe, you want to control him.
He knew the forces behind these people very well, or in other words, he already knew the forces behind these people when he left the ancient battlefield and was ambushed.
This force is the Demonic Cult.
Whether it is to corrupt the gods or to set up a large formation in the northwest, such feats are rare in the world of immortality. Only the three major sects can do it.
After all, the three sects of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon have been inherited for tens of thousands of years, with profound foundations, many disciples, and powerful forces. Only they can achieve such a grand feat.
After knowing that it was the Demon Sect that took action, Chen Faxuan was actually a little desperate, but he still managed to escape, hoping to return to the capital and expose the Demon Sect's conspiracy in front of His Majesty.
However, the facts told him that escaping from the northwest was simply impossible.
Now, he has almost reached the end, and there is no point in escaping anymore. Therefore, he chose to fight, even if he died, he would have to support a few people!
