On the other side of the library on the top of the mountain, a large centipede was originally lying in the shadow of the library. At this moment, it was also disturbed. It rode the black mist and turned and whirled.
On the back of the centipede, Taoist Sumu's upper body condensed and caught a withered yellow leaf floating up in the wind. As the palms condensed with black smoke closed slightly, the withered yellow leaf made a crisp sound like a thin piece of iron breaking. .
This voice couldn't help but make Taoist Su Mu's eyes change.
"Strange. It seems that it is not a general method of infusing internal force to make matter hard and sharp, but a certain modification has been made from the nature of matter. To turn the energy of wood into the energy of metal? Is this person practicing martial arts? Or do you practice magic?"
Because there was too little information about Master Tianfang before, when they made calculations, they defaulted to regarding the new headmaster of Laojun Mountain as being similar to the deceased abbot of Shaolin - in their thoughts at that time, It's still a bit overestimated.
But now it seems that the leader of Laojunshan, who has always been "mediocre", has deviated quite a bit from their expectations.
Ye Motian walked around the library and came to Taoist Sumu. He took out a cinnabar yellow talisman folded into a triangle shape in his hand.
"Taoist Priest, it's better for you to use your rare treasure most accurately. Inform Zhu Linlang and prepare for action."
If it had been before, Taoist Sumu would have definitely expressed his opinion when encountering such an advance plan. However, since the original body was destroyed, his temper has become much calmer, and he took Huang's hand without asking anything. The talisman was spread out and clicked with one finger.
There seemed to be a little more soybean-sized ink stain on the talisman paper, which slowly expanded and expanded over time.
In an inn in Luoyang City, Zhu Linlang, the Western envoy of Huoluo Tao, was drinking and having fun with a group of brothers. The paper charm he was carrying suddenly became cold, and he noticed it immediately and took it out from his arms.
That bit of cold ink is gradually expanding.
Everyone saw this vision, stopped drinking their glasses, and looked at Zhu Linlang.
Zhu Linlang said: "Brothers, please check whether your things are ready."
They took out the full water bags one by one and placed them on the table. Some people opened the stoppers and smelled them to confirm the pungent smell.
The sun was tilting, it was already afternoon, no sound was heard in the inn, and everyone's faces became more and more serious.
When he thought about what he was about to do, even Zhu Linlang, who was so bold that he could sleep soundly in the pile of bones created by himself, couldn't help but sweat slightly in his palms.
He put the talisman aside, pressed it down with chopsticks, and sat upright, quietly waiting for the moment when the talisman completely turned black.
An inexplicable feeling made him unconsciously raise his head and glance towards Laojun Mountain.
………………
Everyone up and down Laojun Mountain was looking at that sword.
Like wind and smoke, like the sword light and sword energy of a flying dragon, it silently blows from one hilltop to another. The farther it flies, the stronger the sword energy, the brighter the sword light, and the faster it blows.
In an instant, it left deep and bright traces in everyone's eyes, from the eyes to the ears to the touch and brain, making all the onlookers feel a trembling sensation in all the senses without distinguishing between friend and foe.
It gives people a cold and suffocating feeling that as long as they are on the opposite side of this sword energy, they will be everywhere in the world. There is nowhere to avoid it and they can't stop it. They can only wait to be killed.
Master Tianfang's robes were fluttering, and his eyes were as unmovable as a rock. He raised his hand, and a dazzling golden light bloomed in the palm of his hand, instantly rendering the entire palm into pure gold with clear texture, and struck the top of the sword energy.
Boom! ! ! ! ! ! !
The soundless sword energy made a deafening explosion after this collision, followed closely by a harsh metallic trembling sound.
The thick sword energy exploded into trembling sword lights, as thin as silk threads, flying through the air.
Famous swordsmen from all sects in the world all know how to practice sword energy kung fu. Some sword energy is magnificent, and some sword energy is solid. However, if you can train your sword energy to be as thin as a hair, each sword energy will still be sharp and strong. If there are any substantial ones, I'm afraid I can't count them on my ten fingers.
Shao Lingxiao's first move without unsheathing his sword was already at a level that thousands of swordsmen in the world would never be able to match.
The winding sword wire collapsed in front of Master Tianfang's palm, and with the sound of metal friction, it moved forward and attacked dozens of acupuncture points between his waist, abdomen, head and face.
Some of them circled directly behind him, whirled around, pierced and cut. When a few slender sword wires scraped across the ground, they directly left messy shoveling and cutting marks on the floor tiles. The broken bricks couldn't bear it, and they collapsed upwards. Revealing sharp corners.
Master Tianfang didn't care at all, and his whole body bumped forward.
The dangerous sword energy with the harsh trembling sound seemed to have turned into soft cotton and silk during his step, adhering to the surface of his clothes. At the moment when his body accelerated, it floated backwards, without any trace of it. capable of causing him any harm.
It is not a rigid defense against rigidity, but a courage that uses wind and smoke, light and shadow to control the enemy's weapons on one's own side.
No matter how sharp and slender the sword energy is, under such courage, the heart surrenders and turns into softness around the fingers, becoming the embellishment of Tianfang Zhenren's indomitable spirit.
Some of the Huo Luo Dao protectors lurking around couldn't help but swayed when they saw this scene.
They were shocked to find that they had almost followed the figure of Master Tianfang just now, rushing out without any regard for their posture and balance.
When Master Tianfang passed by the long bridge spanning the two peaks, the bridge that was supposed to be solid and undeformable seemed to have turned into a huge dough sculpture that was not yet dry. It suddenly shook and twisted, became bloated, squeezed, and deformed. It's so bad.
Shao Lingxiao stood at the other end of the long bridge. Facing the deformation of the entire bridge, cliffs, deep valleys, and seas of clouds and mist, they all formed and oppressed a sinister trend. The angle of the sheathed sword in his hand changed.
It was like plucking the strings leisurely under thousands of shaky heavy blades.
The change of this sword was simple and clear, but extremely clever. It hit the palm of the palm that Master Tianfang pushed over.
Shao Lingxiao's feet slipped back a foot.
Master Tianfang's figure suddenly paused in mid-air, his robes fluttered, and all the sword threads stuck to his body shattered and dissipated.
When the remaining strength of their fight expanded, it was perpendicular to the ground. The edge of the air ripples was like an indestructible wheel, directly cutting off the connection between the end of the long bridge and the cliff, and debris burst out. shoot.
The already deformed bridge, after suffering another heavy blow, collapsed in half from this fracture point, and large pieces of bridge debris fell towards the deep valley of clouds and mist.
The sound of collapse and the long-awaited sound of falling from the deep valley sounded together with Shao Lingxiao's words.
"I heard that you only entered the realm of master nine years ago, and you have already reached this stage. Yu Tu is really lucky."
"The movement of the sun and the moon only takes one day and night, and the storage of all peoples takes only one spring and autumn. Nine years and ten years are already a long time. No one in this world would have waited for you ten years ago!"
Tianfang Zhenren didn't care at all about losing his footing directly below.
As soon as his figure spun, he maintained his original height in the air, went around a semicircle, went to the cliff, and hit Shao Lingxiao from the side with his palm.
Shao Lingxiao suddenly drew his sword.
The simple and elegant black scabbard, exuding a subtle scent of sandalwood, was not being held in mid-air. When the sword was drawn out, the scabbard was still hovering in its original position without any movement or shaking.
The sword was unsheathed so quickly and smoothly that it was incredible, as if it was not being pulled out of a physical scabbard, but rather a flash of flying light flowing out from the void or from a dark cave.
The men in black robes and swords are the last to arrive.
The faint light at the top of the sword's blade had already reached Master Tianfang's heart before his palm force could reach it.
The air around Master Tianfang expanded, and the figure split into two.
The tip of the sword passed between two blurry figures, without hurting anyone.
Shao Lingxiao didn't look at the two blurry images coming at him at the same time, and raised the blade of his sword.
The surrounding violently heated and expanded airflow was constrained by the cold light brought out by the sword when it was lifted up, and all converged towards the trajectory of the sword.
The two phantom bodies of Gang Qi formed by using heat were directly pulled into long strips and submerged into Shao Lingxiao's sword, which instead increased the power of the sword's whizzing upwards.
The illusion was revealed, and Tianfang Zhenren's true body appeared in the air. He was extremely powerful, with a condescending earth palm, and the power he exuded was like the power of Mount Tai.
But Shao Lingxiao's thrusting sword was even more devastating, cutting through rocks and tearing apart mountains.
After hitting the palm force, it only slowed down slightly. As Shao Lingxiao stamped his left foot, he flew into the air, and the sword light split the palm force like a broken bamboo.
Tianfang Zhenren spun around in mid-air to avoid it, and the shadow of the flying sword passed by his shoulder, cutting off a piece of clothing.
The earth-yellow light condensed into gold and suddenly converged on Tianfang Zhenren's right palm from all around. When he dodged the sword edge sideways, his right palm slashed against the sword's spine.
With a quick friction, Shao Lingxiao's fingers and wrists were cut off, and then chopped into his heart.
Fire generates earth, earth generates metal, and the five elements generate each other. This is the principle.
During the fight, Shao Lingxiao naturally remembered the secret book "Five Elements of Destruction" that he had browsed, and saw through all the changes in Tianfang's series of moves.
The sword finger of his left hand has already calculated the correct position and stabbed the acupuncture point on the elbow of Master Tianfang's right hand. With this finger, it will definitely cut off the flow of true energy in the meridians of Master Tianfang's right hand and break the condensation of metal.
And if the flying light sword slashes horizontally, even if it cannot behead Master Tianfang on the spot, it will definitely be able to severely injure him.
But as soon as Shao Lingxiao's sword finger came out, an idea flashed in his mind, and he cut off his blind obedience to the secret book. His left hand turned into a palm and blocked his heart.
Sooner or later, Master Tianfang's palm force seemed to be driven by unparalleled heat and accelerated suddenly. When the palm fell, it was no longer a condensed and orderly metal palm force that could be cut off, but violent heat. Riots, wild and disorderly fire phase Zhen Gang.
Moreover, the power of this palm was a step above all his previous palms. The moment the palm was struck, a golden-red flame cloud exploded in the air, engulfing the figures of the two people.
Boom——
Boom boom boom boom boom! ! ! !
The surging clouds that exploded one after another, with their brilliant golden-red light, indicated that the people inside were still taking action.
The cloud suddenly expanded and proliferated in multiple directions from its original approximately spherical state, and its volume surged several times.
The bottom touched the ground, and the height was already more than ten meters. The crazy expansion of heat made the stone slabs on the ground next to the light group that had not been covered by the explosion sizzle and smoke rise.
The sky was dark, making it difficult to see the original sunlight. At this moment, a strange-shaped sun seemed to be slowly rising next to the library, and its light was getting stronger and stronger.
The sound of successive explosions was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone on the mountain and down the mountain.
Xu Hongmei's eyelids jumped when she saw it, and she backed away with a small exclamation. The blood of the leech and half-demon made her fearless of ordinary water and fire, but now the fire-phase true energy that is still expanding and expanding can be said to be hers. The nemesis made the demonic nature in her instinct tremble.
Ye Motian and Taoist Sumu looked solemn.
Taoist Sumu couldn't help but said: "It seems that Leader Lingxiao has completely fallen into a disadvantage. Do we want to do it?"
"Senior brother has already been unable to make any progress. If the opponent is just one person, it is impossible for him to lose."
There were small blue veins at the corners of Ye Motian's eyes, which were slightly stretched, "But this Tianfang... can actually reach this level."
He let out a heavy breath with some unwillingness on his face, but still said, "We just need to be careful about other people."
Taoist Sumu raised the soul-calling flag behind his back, and secretly held the Five Yin Bags, Six Black Locks and other magic weapons in his palms.
Shao Lingxiao may indeed not be weaker than the opponent in terms of realm strength, but he clearly miscalculated a move just now and was unable to cope with the situation. Now the scene is completely occupied by the opponent's fire phase. The situation inside may have reached an extremely dangerous level. .
Su Mu really couldn't imagine how Shao Lingxiao would come back. Unlike Ye Motian, who blindly trusted him, he was already ready to take action.
But when he thought about it, he suddenly heard the sword roar.
Su Mu turned around and saw that the sound of sword chanting came from the sword scabbard suspended outside the cliff.
Inside the empty scabbard, at this moment, there are actually one after another watery sword shadows, connected end to end, flying out continuously.
At first, they were just connected in a single line, but in the blink of an eye, they split into thousands, turning into a torrential stream of swords, rushing into the golden-red fire cloud with the sound of swords whistling like huge waves in the distant sky.
Countless sword energy and sword shadows, once submerged, immediately circle and swim like a school of fish.
The deformed and expanded fire phase Zhen Gang was quickly stirred by the densely shuttled sword energy, turning it into a whirlwind of flames that rose higher and higher, stretched longer, and shot straight into the sky.
Shao Lingxiao was pierced through the heart by the Wuwei Divine Sword. Later, the Divine Sword entangled his body, wrapped around his five internal organs, and penetrated into his bones. The Divine Weapon Sword Intention of the Wuwei Sutra interfered with him day and night, often lasting more than half a month. Fall asleep.
Until not long ago, he temporarily banned the Wuwei Divine Sword with the help of Sumu and Fux.
But at that time, these two reincarnations were only three-stars, so how could they completely seal the magic weapon that Yu Tu had cultivated throughout his life.
The true meaning of Wuwei still circulates in his body, like a stubborn impurity, preventing him from returning to his peak.
Under contemplation, Shao Lingxiao found another way to separate part of the sword intention and store it in the scabbard. Once the scabbard is destroyed, or he takes the initiative to absorb it, the sword intention accumulated over time will return instantly.
The firelight obscured the dim clouds, and the pure and thick Zhen Gang was guided by this whirlwind and vented to the sky, temporarily coating the lead-colored clouds with a golden-red edge.
The figure of Master Tianfang flew out and landed on the broken bridge. The corners of his clothes were slightly torn, and thousands of hazy sword shadows were reflected in the eyes of the black-robed man passing between the guards.
At this moment, Shao Lingxiao is truly the leader of the Demon Cult at its peak ten years ago.
But even though he was like this, there was still a piece of clothing material at his heart, which was slowly being burned away, shaped like a palm print.
"This is no longer the Five Elements Destruction Divine Palm."
Shao Lingxiao held the sword, and the look on his face seemed to be afterthought.
He had read the twelve volumes of secret books, and naturally knew that the original meaning of the Five Elements Destruction Palm was to "carefully study the five elements to eliminate the contradictions, so that people can move around like gods and control them freely."
The masters who learned the Five Elements Destruction Palm in the past generations in Laojunshan pursued the highest state, which was just the movement of the Five Elements, which could be used at will without any order.
However, Taoist Tianfang's control over the Divine Palm of the Five Elements of Destruction has reached the level of refining the principle of generation and restraint of the five elements.
His palm technique does not follow the general rules of metal generating water, water generating wood, wood generating fire, fire generating earth, and earth generating metal.
Rather, when the water recedes, the earth will repair it, when the earth scatters, the wood will repair it, when the wood decays, the metal will repair it, and when the metal is brittle, fire will repair it.
It seems that it is attacking and replacing the former with something that is incompatible with it, but it is actually another aspect of natural law.
——After the running water recedes, the soil and rocks on the ground will be exposed. The situation of water and soil erosion must be consolidated by planting more trees. If wood that is easily decayed wants to survive a long time, it must be turned into gold and stone minerals. Mineral raw materials are fragile and not durable. , it is necessary to use fierce fire to refine, purify and combine them.
The biggest difference between the latter and the former is that the former only focuses on the generation and restraint of the five elements in a macro sense and stays outside to observe the laws of nature, while the latter adds human influence and lets humans observe, supplement, and operate.
"If I'm not wrong, this method of reversal can improve your skill after each reversal at the five levels of the Five Elements. If the five levels are reversed to the extreme, your skill will be extremely powerful. A sort of……"
Shao Lingxiao thought for a moment, considered how to describe it, and then smiled and said, "If Xu Miyuan is still alive, if you stand and let him beat him, he won't be able to break your body-protecting power in that state!"
"This should no longer be called the Five Elements Destruction Palm. How about changing the name to the Five-Color Heaven-Building Technique?"
Master Tianfang waited for him to finish speaking, and his aura changed from the scorching fire-like energy to a sea-blue brilliance. The sea of fog around the broken bridge was dyed with this color, rising and falling like real ocean waves, deep and deep. Almost black.
But then, the dim yellow color drove away the dark blue light. In the mist, soil-like particles condensed. The particles melted, like cyan roots, swimming together, and finally gathered together layer by layer, superimposed. Go to Master Tianfang and take it into his body.
The golden light shines through the body, and finally becomes pure white.
When he raised his palm again, everyone whose eyes touched his body felt the pain of splitting their skin and involuntarily retreated.
Ye Motian's heart was beating wildly, and for the first time he felt that his confidence in Shao Lingxiao was shaken.
Guan Luoyang looked at that figure thoughtfully, his eyes stung slightly, but remained unchanged.
Master Tianfang's words echoed far across the broken bridge and deep valley: "Your guess is very good, and your sword is also very good, but unfortunately... I will ask the master for advice on how to name my martial arts after you die."
"You said I would die?"
Shao Lingxiao stared at him for a while, laughed loudly, raised his sword and pointed it at him, "You are already stronger than Yu Tu, why are you still thinking about him? As for life and death..."
He said, "Within five moves, I will let you leave this world forever!"
