Chapter 189: Cultivation surges, the peerless gentleman (subscribe)
At this time, the battle outside Tongtian Palace had reached a boiling point.
Zhao Tianyou used the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon, a fire dragon covered in flames coiled around the spear, whistling and moving freely, and the Fiery Blaze Spear Technique was unleashed. It had already broken free from the shackles of the original spear technique, and it was like a flying dragon in the sky, flying freely in the sky, and rushing towards the Black Wind Ancestor.
All of Black Wind Patriarch's martial arts attainments were self-created. This man was indeed a hero who dominated the underworld and the world sixty years ago. His talent was truly terrifying.
The black wind he unleashed was formed by the condensation of various legal principles. It was subtle and mysterious, yet murderous and terrifying. It could blow away a person's soul and make him fall into the underworld.
Even the original spirit of a powerful celestial being would be destroyed if blown by this black wind. Every wisp of his true spirit would be swept away and become part of the black wind, boosting its power. Even if he wanted to reincarnate, it would be impossible.
This technique is extremely vicious and can blow away people's souls and spirits, which is truly against the harmony of nature.
The Black Wind Patriarch was originally conceited that he could dominate the martial arts world with his Black Wind technique. Even if Zhao Tianyou had great skills, he would be defeated in an instant when facing his Black Wind technique.
But who could have imagined that Zhao Tianyou's spirit was so strong and seemed to have some secret technique to protect his soul. Even when the black wind blew, the opponent was not afraid at all. He just attacked with spears, fire and dragons, advancing without retreating, killing fiercely and with great courage.
boom! boom! boom!
The black wind turned into a tornado that spread across the sky and swept the red dragon into it, engaging in an extremely fierce fight. The scene seemed like a myth reappearing in the world.
The Black Wind Patriarch used the Soul-Destroying Palm Technique that was famous in the martial arts world back then to engage in a head-on battle with Zhao Tianyou. The two fought in close combat, using their magic power to stimulate their martial arts, displaying martial arts mysteries that ordinary people in the martial arts world would seldom see in their lifetime, and evolving the principles of heaven and earth.
The two men fought from the ground to the sky, and the sound of muffled thunder was heard in the void. Even the collision of the Black Wind Patriarch's bare hands with Zhao Tianyou's iron spear produced a sound of metal clashing, and sparks of lightning burst out.
The Black Wind Patriarch became more and more angry as the fight went on. He originally thought that he could easily defeat the up-and-coming opponent, but he did not expect that it would be so difficult to defeat him.
He was proud of his unparalleled talent, and this time he returned to the martial arts world, not only wanted to slay the real dragon and seek immortality, but also wanted to compete with the Prince of Danyang, who was known as the best man in the world.
But now that even Liu Wu's lackeys can't win quickly, how can he have the face to compete for the number one position in the world? !
Thinking of this, his eyes became fierce and without hesitation, his body suddenly retreated violently, and the symbols in his eyes disappeared. The already terrifying black wind suddenly increased in power, plunging the entire world into darkness.
The cold and gloomy wind swept across the sky and the earth, bringing with it a sense of desolation and sadness as if all things were withering and all living beings were annihilated.
The Black Wind Patriarch stepped into the sky, and the strong wind gathered into a black tornado that lifted him up. "Ancestor, I didn't want to reveal my strength. I didn't expect that you, Zhao Tianyou, could improve your cultivation to such an incredible level in just three years."
When he said this, his tone was somewhat gloomy, and he sighed leisurely: "I thought I was unparalleled in talent, but even you couldn't do anything to me, and I still dreamed..."
"Alas, never mind. It's fate after all."
"Everything is already predetermined, and all living beings are chess pieces."
His words sounded more like his own talk. The black wind covered the sky and made the area within a hundred miles seem to have turned into a gloomy underworld. However, he no longer had the anger and arrogance he had before, but instead looked a little bleak.
Zhao Tianyou's pupils shrank slightly. The aura displayed by the Black Wind Ancestor at this moment was far superior to before, and he had actually reached the fourth level of the celestial being.
However, what made him feel even more chilled was that he could vaguely feel that there seemed to be an unknown presence watching him, paying attention to his every move.
And on the body of the Black Wind Ancestor, there was also an aura that made him feel extremely familiar.
"Yi Hongchen, and that old bald donkey!"
Zhao Tianyou's heart couldn't help but pounding wildly.
Yes, this 'Zhao Tianyou' at this time was Lu Chengfeng who had been in seclusion in Yuyang City, Yanzhou for several months.
He did not hesitate to refine the thousand-year-old treasures of the Yuncang Sword Sect, which enabled his own strength to advance by leaps and bounds in just a few months.
Thanks to the gifts and sufficient resources, he was able to cultivate the Divine Wind Wings and the Mysterious Nether Divine Light Sword to the fourth level in one fell swoop.
Although the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, which had already been cultivated to the third level, did not have any rare treasures with all five elements, there were countless treasures with single attributes belonging to the five elements in the treasury. After consuming a huge amount of resources, he finally cultivated this Taoist magic to the fourth level.
The power of the fourth-level Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword has skyrocketed. There is no need to use the Golden Flame Technique to defeat strong men who are two levels higher than one's own cultivation. The killing power is simply unbelievable.
Even though Lu Chengfeng already knew that the power of this Taoist technique would undergo a qualitative change after being practiced to the fourth level, he still found it incredible.
Relying on this Taoist technique alone, he can fight with a strong man of the sixth level of heaven. If he activates the Golden Flame Technique at the same time, although it is still difficult to break the shackles and kill the enemy across three levels, he has become invincible in the same level.
Lu Chengfeng knew very well that all this was because he had practiced too few spells and had not fully tapped the potential of the Golden Flame Technique. Otherwise, it would not be impossible for him to defeat a powerful being who was beyond his own third realm.
Apart from this, his biggest gain was the spell of the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon, which he obtained from Qi Yuan's Jiaolong Transformation Talisman and the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, which was his profound understanding of the Five Elements' principles. These spells allowed him to fully master this spell.
Although he did not receive any gifts, he combined the resources of the sect's treasury with his own comprehension and practice, and in one fell swoop cultivated it to the 32nd level, condensing a fifth-level talisman.
This also allowed the Golden Flame Technique to rise to a higher level, rising to the fifth level, allowing Lu Chengfeng to raise his cultivation to the fifth level of the Heavenly Man in one fell swoop.
What was particularly unexpected to him was that the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon technique was extremely compatible with the Golden Flame Technique, and could vaguely bring out some of its Taoist essence of being able to burn everything in the world, thus making its power surge.
Even if he only used the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon, he could fight against a strong man at the sixth level of the Heavenly Man Realm, making it his second killing technique after the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword.
Lu Chengfeng originally wanted to hide in Yuyang City until he had completely digested and absorbed Chu Xiangtian's gift before considering intervening in the disputes in the world and plotting against the two real dragons and Yi Hongchen.
But the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, and the turbulence and waves in the world still sweep over itself.
Although he devoted himself to cultivation in Yuyang City, he would secretly change his appearance and go out to gather information every once in a while.
Unsurprisingly, bad news is coming one after another.
First, he was slandered as a demon in the martial arts world, and there were rumors that he offered sacrifices to the real dragon in order to seek immortality.
Not long after that, all the elders and true disciples who had been released by him were captured by the Killing Tower.
Later, the situation in Yulong Mountain became increasingly worse.
Lu Chengfeng was definitely not a soft-hearted person, and would not do something that he knew would lead to his death. The news from Yulong Mountain made him feel very uneasy. "This is very likely a trap. How could it be such a coincidence that an old devil who had not appeared in the martial arts world for 60 years showed up?"
Lu Chengfeng suspected that the so-called Black Wind Ancestor was actually a pawn of the person behind the scenes, who wanted to force him to show up.
The temptation of a magical treasure from a cave is too great, and is no less than the opportunity of getting a real dragon. In order to get this treasure, Yi Hongchen and the old monk will definitely have some plans.
Lu Chengfeng thought about it for a long time, and a certain thought that had been in his mind before once again uncontrollably surged into his mind.
“If I can directly impersonate Chu Xiangtian’s reincarnation, and thus borrow the power of Yufa Tianzong and even Yi Hongchen, I will definitely be able to increase my own cultivation strength again in a very short period of time.”
"Especially, the foundation of the Yufatian Sect is much deeper than that of the Yuncang Sword Sect. The resources in the treasure house of a large sect that has been established for tens of thousands of years are enough to make people envious."
"If I can use the foundation of the Yufatian Sect to practice, once I have completely digested and absorbed Chu Xiangtian's gift, it may be possible for me to ascend to the heavens in one step and directly achieve the realm of an immortal."
Lu Chengfeng had this plan several months ago, but he had been hesitant because this path would involve great risks. However, as most of the resources suitable for him in the Yuncang Sword Sect's treasury had been consumed, Lu Chengfeng's progress in cultivation inevitably slowed down.
Coupled with the incident at Yulong Mountain, he couldn't help but think about leaving the mountain again.
"Perhaps I can use the incident at Yulong Mountain to test it out. If I can deceive Yi Hongchen by changing my appearance, then it will be feasible for me to sneak into the Yufatian Sect and pretend to be the reincarnation of Chu Xiangtian."
Lu Chengfeng carefully deduced for a long time. He knew very well that the turmoil in Yulong Mountain was a trap set for him. In order to deceive Yi Hongchen, or to escape after being discovered, Lu Chengfeng made many plans in advance.
The first thing he did was to write a letter to Li Mo, who was far away in Hanzhou in the south and now served under the command of Prince Danyang, asking him to persuade Zhao Tianyou, who had been appointed as the Commandant of the Imperial Chariot, to go to Zhongzhou.
Zhao Tianyou had a rough life in the first half of his life, but it also greatly tempered his character. As soon as he entered the south, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds like a dragon returning to the sea. Later, he was valued by Liu Wu, who bestowed him with many rare treasures.
Zhao Tianyou lived up to expectations and achieved the status of a half-step immortal in just a few years. In addition, the spear skills he practiced were suitable for fighting on the battlefield, so he soon became one of Liu Wu's trusted generals.
Now he has been appointed as the Commandant of Fengchariots and plays an important role in the entire Han Dynasty.
The disaster that occurred in the Yuncang Sword Sect and the sudden appearance of the real dragon shocked the world and attracted the attention of countless people in the martial arts world.
Many major forces in the thirteen states in the north and south sent people to Yuncang Mountain, or even directly to Yulong Mountain, to find out the whereabouts of Lu Chengfeng.
But the person who cares most about the Yuncang Sword Sect in the world is not anyone else, but Prince Danyang Liu Wu, who is currently dealing with the flood in Danyang.
Outsiders don’t know Liu Wu’s background, but Lu Chengfeng knows clearly that he is the reincarnation of the Red Dragon.
After Liu Wu's reincarnation, although he inherited the knowledge of his previous life, he did not know where his true body was. Although he secretly sent people to investigate for a long time and roughly locked on the north, he still could not determine the specific location.
It was not until the Yuncang Sword Sect came into being and the Red Dragon soared into the sky that he realized that his true body was suppressed under the Yuncang Mountain.
Now that his true dragon body is exposed to everyone in the world, how can he not be anxious.
Lu Chengfeng wrote a letter, asking Li Mo to advise the Prince of Danyang, asking him to interfere in the affairs of Yulong Mountain and even the Yuncang Sword Sect under the pretext of marrying Du Mengyan, the head of Yulong Mountain, as his concubine.
After Li Mo submitted the letter, Liu Wu was overjoyed. This suggestion was exactly what he wanted.
He was ordered by the King of Han to control the floods in Dongting Lake and Danjiang River and was not allowed to leave without an imperial decree. Even though he was extremely anxious and wanted to rush to the Yuncang Sword Sect immediately, he was unable to do so.
At the moment, there is a lack of a legitimate excuse to break free from the constraints on me and interfere in the affairs of the North. This is simply like giving someone a pillow when they are sleepy.
Therefore, he gave the order without hesitation, asking Zhao Tianyou, who was most familiar with the affairs of Zhongzhou, and Li Mo, who proposed this suggestion, to take dozens of elite soldiers and go to Yulong Mountain in Zhongzhou.
Unfortunately, Zhao Tianyou never made it to Yulong Mountain. On the way, he was ambushed by Lu Chengfeng, who had already contacted Li Mo. Except for Zhao Tianyou and Li Mo, all the other bystanders were killed.
Needless to say, everything that happened afterwards was unnecessary. Lu Chengfeng ordered Li Mo to guard Zhao Tianyou, whose skills had been sealed, and not to allow him to go out.
And then there was the 'Zhao Tianyou' who went to Yulong Mountain in person.
"It's not surprising that the old devil, Black Bee Patriarch, has the cultivation level of the fourth level of the Heavenly Man Realm. He has practiced hard for a century and created his own magical skills. This person is indeed a rare monster that is rarely seen in a century."
Lu Chengfeng did not take the strength displayed by the Black Wind Ancestor seriously. If he tried his best, he only needed one shot to kill him and turn his soul into ashes.
You must know that he has already cultivated the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Dragon to the pinnacle. Even the master who created this magical skill in the beginning would not be able to perform it more exquisitely.
Just relying on this skill, the Black Wind Ancestor would be killed without a burial place.
But the reason why Lu Chengfeng pretended to be Zhao Tianyou and rushed to Yulong Mountain this time was not because he wanted to rescue everyone with this identity, but because he had other plans.
He is waiting for someone now.
Waiting for the young master who is the head of the Yufatian Sect.
Master Yi, Yi Wushuang!
This man is only in his early twenties this year, younger than Liu Wu and Xiang Qingchi. He is born in the Yufa Tian Sect and is the only son of the current headmaster Yi Mingshu.
The stronger a martial artist is, the harder it is for him to have children. Yi Mingshu had a son in his old age, so he would naturally be very spoiled to him.
Just looking at the name Yi Wushuang, you can know something about it.
Yi Wushuang was born in the Yufa Tian Sect, but he doesn't like practicing Taoism or martial arts. He is born a playboy and will get any woman he likes, even if she is a married woman.
He had just heard of the reputation of the Fairy of the Jade Flower not long ago, and knew that she was an extremely beautiful and otherworldly woman, so he naturally felt itchy.
The reason why Yi Wushuang knew Du Mengyan was naturally because of Lu Chengfeng's secret work.
