Chapter 157 Yuanying Sword Immortal

Chapter 157 Yuanying Sword Immortal
A whole night passed, and when the sun rose in the east, Li Wuxiang saw a row of small black dots appearing on the road to Fuxing Village.

Some disciples of the Sword Sect were quite dissatisfied with Jiang Jie's plan for the swordsmen to travel around the world and copy down the geography of mountains and rivers, but at least what Jiang Jie asked them to do was now useful.

The geography of the mountains and rivers near the Tianxin Sect has been included in the Shijie collection. Although it only records some connecting roads in a rough manner, after more than ten days, combined with the villages and towns that Li Wuxiang has visited himself, he has a clear understanding of the situation near Fuxing Village.

Taking Fuxing Village as the center, if Santai Town is one hundred miles away from here, then the three villages and towns he passed by before - Jifeng, Xinzhong and Xiping, should surround Fuxing Village. The distance between each village and town and Fuxing Village should be between eighty and one hundred and twenty miles.

Therefore, if what He Qingmiao said was true, and a cultivator of the True Form Sect died, his companions around him would notice it, and then people from these four places should arrive one after another.

But the True Form monks who left the diocese this time should not be stupid. They should know that it is very risky to fight a swordsman alone, so they should gather together first and then come to Fuxing Village together.

The scene that Li Wuxiang saw now confirmed his guess—the four people in front were very close, and there were more than a dozen people following behind, who looked like servants or wandering cultivators.

The four in front should be the monks stationed in the four villages and towns around Fuxing Village.

Their realm should be similar to He Qingmiao's, and now they are outside the parish, it is not difficult to kill them all. But as He Qingmiao said, in a few days, there may be more than a thousand Qi Refiners scattered over the ground within a radius of thousands of miles nearby, forming a larger network. He can easily deal with Qi Refiners, but if he encounters two or three Spirit Refiners, he may have a hard time. If he encounters Huanxu, I'm afraid the outcome will be bad.

Therefore, his purpose was not to kill people, but to make them think that besides Cui Daocheng and Mei Qiulu, the Sword Sect also had a third Nascent Soul.

The cultivation of the Six Departments of the Mysterious Sect, when it reaches the realm of returning to emptiness, requires very little food and water. However, the most important thing for the Sword Sect's True Immortal Body Dao is Qi and blood. When it comes to the realm of Qi Refining and Golden Elixir, it still requires a lot of food and drink. The Six Departments of the Mysterious Sect cast a large net, and it is difficult for the people of the Sword Sect to obtain convenient food and water replenishment, which will slowly consume them.

If the people of Xuan Sect felt that they still had their third Nascent Soul, they could greatly reduce the pressure over there and even give those scattered disciples of Jian Sect a chance to survive.

And this idea was given to me by He Qingmiao last night.

Li Wuxiang used his Dan power and stared at the tiny black spots on the road.

He Qingmiao must have been frightened last night, so he preconceived that he might be a Nascent Soul cultivator. If the four who came now heard about this from those blind casual cultivators, they would have a whole night to think about it, and they would not be as crazy as He Qingmiao, but would tend to think about how he made himself look like a Nascent Soul. After all, it was unbelievable that a person could become a Nascent Soul in just a few months.

Therefore, when dealing with them, some other means are needed.

Li Wuxiang was gazing into the distance, recalling the things that Mei Qiulu had asked him to see when she had killed the two masters of Huashen Mountain who had come rushing over outside the Coffin City.

At that time, what she taught me was the means to break the spell - if the other party invited the true spirits of the Five Mountains from Lingshan, then one must first "see" the connection between the cultivators in the world of the living and the true spirits of Lingshan, and then cut off that connection, making the spells of the True Form cultivators ineffective for a moment, and then break the spell.

There is no need for such high-end techniques to deal with cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm. When Li Wuxiang recalled the method Mei Qiulu taught him, he actually thought of Lou He.

When fighting with Lou He, who had achieved the state of wearing golden clouds, in the coffin city, he shuttled back and forth between the mortal world and the sacred mountain. If he had not had the golden entanglement, he would have been defeated by him long ago. At that time, Li Wuxiang was wondering when he could reach Lou He's level and use such means.

If Lingshan is compared to a vast sea of ​​blood, then the world of the living is the space above the ocean. Lou He has become a golden-clad person, and can freely travel and dive in this vast ocean, but if he wants to go to the vast ocean of Lingshan, he still needs to use the Mysterious Light Mirror.

However, he now realized that the method Mei Qiulu taught him - seeing the connection between the things in Lingshan and the world of the living - was actually a way to sneak into the vast ocean of Lingshan.

That kind of connection can only be seen for a moment, and if he grasps that connection, he should only be able to sneak into Lingshan for a moment.

However, it should be enough for what he wants to do next.

……

The four monks on the road stopped when they could see the houses of Fuxing Village in the distance.

Before leaving the diocese, the teachers and leaders had already explained that if they wanted to cooperate in combat in a foreign land, their responsibilities would be divided according to the level of their cultivation.

Among the four, the one with the highest realm is a Qi-refining cultivator named Zhao Xuchen, who is now at the realm of refining the spirit and transforming into emptiness.

Slightly inferior to him is a cultivator named Lu Falcon, who is now at the level of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

The remaining two, Pan Ge and Peng Shi, are both at the level of refining essence into qi.

Zhao Xuchen raised his hand, and the three people behind him stood beside him. After Zhao Xuchen looked in the direction of Fuxing Village for a while, he turned around and said, "Three junior brothers, I think we shouldn't rush in now. It's better to set up a formation outside the village first - if that Li Wuxiang is still inside, we can just trap him."

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Brother, your method is mature and prudent. However, if Li Wuxiang is really a Yuanying Sword Immortal and is still waiting in the village for us to die, I'm afraid it will be useless to set up any formation."

Zhao Xuchen raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Brother Lu, do you really think he is at the Nascent Soul stage?"

Lu Xuan was stunned: "Brother, didn't we interrogate that casual cultivator together? It is said that Brother He said that he is a Nascent Soul - the flying sword turns into rainbow light, and the inside and outside of the body can be freely retracted and released... This can't be wrong, right?"

Zhao Xuchen bent his two fingers slightly and compared them to his eyes: "Seeing is not necessarily believing. Three junior brothers, let me tell you an old story."

"In the early years, there was a walker in our sect who met a swordsman in this wild land. The walker set up a formation to ambush her, but the swordsman noticed it. But she had already walked into the formation. Once the formation was activated, she would be in great danger. At that time, the walker suddenly realized that the swordsman might be a golden elixir."

"Why do you think so? Because the swordsmen who practice Qi Refining actually use flying swords as rope darts. And this swordsman raised his hand, and the flying sword immediately shot out from his sleeve, and then retracted it by itself. Our walking guard knew that his formation would be useless against the Golden Core Swordsman, so he withdrew immediately."

"After that, I followed her for another two days and found out that she was actually a Qi cultivator - she had buried the sword line into her own flesh and blood. The True Immortal Body Dao chapter that swordsmen practice emphasizes the physical body, and she relies on the muscles in her arms to send and receive the flying sword. Although it is less powerful than ordinary methods, it is more concealed and flexible."

"So it's not safe to judge a swordsman's realm by looking at the sword lines and flying swords - we know it, and those swordsmen know it too. If Li Wuxiang was at the Nascent Soul stage, why would he go to the yard to meet He Qingmiao? Isn't it more convenient and safer for the Yin Spirit to travel within a hundred miles and escape to the Lingshan Mountain when encountering danger?"

Lu Jun looked at the two cultivators beside him: "So... Senior Brother, do you think he is deliberately being mysterious?" "I just think about it as usual, and add a little experience." Zhao Xuchen looked in the direction of Fuxing Village, "The swordsman I'm talking about is Mei Qiulu from the Sword Sect, the current Yuanying. This Li Wuxiang is from Mei Qiulu's lineage, maybe he also uses the same method. These swordsmen are fierce by nature, so I don't find it strange that they bury the sword thread under their skin and release it from their fingertips."

Lu Xuan frowned and thought for a while, then Zhao Xuchen patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "How far are we from the village now? We are already within a hundred miles. If he is really a Yuanying cultivator, there will be no reason for us to be alive if the sword flashes within a hundred miles. All right, call the people behind to be on guard, and the four of us, one in each of the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, will set up the formation first. It's always right to be bold when thinking about things and careful when doing things."

Peng Shi, who was beside Lu Xuan, responded and turned to look at the wandering cultivators in the distance behind them. He saw that while they were saying these few words, those people had already been lying down or sitting down to rest.

The four cultivators had met before and immediately rushed to Fuxing Village. They traveled eighty miles in more than an hour. These cultivators must have been exhausted. Lu Falcon said to Peng Shi, "Brother Peng, wake them all up."

Peng Shi nodded and walked towards those wandering cultivators.

The remaining three people waited for a while, agreed on the size of the formation, and then looked towards the independent cultivators - only to see Peng Shi also sitting on the ground to rest.

Zhao Xuchen frowned and was about to shout, but suddenly he felt a chill in his heart. He reached out and took out the tablet from his arms: "My two junior brothers, hurry up--"

His words made Lu Sun and Pan Ge stunned. But just as they were stunned, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared in front of Pan Ge, and then disappeared!
Pang Ge's shocked expression remained on his face, but there was a bloody hole between his eyebrows. His body stiffened and he fell straight to the ground, twitching for a while before he stopped moving.

Lu Sun also pulled out the tablet. He was so frightened that his hair stood on end. Just as he was about to cast a spell, he saw Zhao Xuchen holding the tablet in the air, his hand motionless, looking at him with squinting eyes: "Brother Lu, don't move."

"how--"

Zhao Xuchen signaled behind him with his eyes, and Lu Sun turned around -

A swordsman who looked like a white-haired young man wearing black cloth was standing three steps away from the two men, with his hands behind his back, looking at them coldly.

"Don't move, Junior Brother Lu." Zhao Xuchen repeated in a calm voice beside him.

This was the first time that Zhao Xuchen saw a swordsman in person since leaving the parish.

However, he did not expect that the scene he saw would be so horrifying - he saw it clearly just now that the person in front of him suddenly emerged from the void!
"You should be bold when thinking about things and careful when doing things. You said it very well." Li Wuxiang put his hands behind his back and looked at Zhao Xuchen, "But you are not brave enough. Why, just because someone said that he formed a pill in the coffin city, he can't be a Yuanying?"

"Now when you look at me, what do you think of my cultivation level?"

Zhao Xuchen stared at Li Wuxiang, at his face, his hair, his clothes, his shadow and the ground beneath his feet, trying to see some clues!
He suddenly appeared from the void... Was this the Yin spirit traveling? But does the Yin spirit have a shadow? Can it stand on the ground and make the sand rustle?
It seems possible? He had heard from the sect masters that some methods of producing Yin spirits looked almost like living people, but... was this one in front of him?!

"you--"

As soon as Zhao Xuchen said a word, Li Wuxiang in front of him suddenly disappeared.

He immediately tapped his hand on the tablet and chanted a curse. Several bursts of yellow light appeared on his body in turn, and he turned around abruptly to look around, but he no longer saw Li Wuxiang.

Just as he was about to exhale, he heard a voice coming from afar -

"What are you looking for?"

Zhao Xuchen immediately turned his head to look at the place where the incident occurred. He saw a small figure standing on a cliff cypress on the mountain wall behind Fuxing Village in the far distance. The sound came like an invisible sharp arrow and was clearly heard by the two men.

"Listen carefully! I am sparing your lives today so that you can bear witness to each other when you return to see the people in your sect, so that your teachers won't accuse you of making up stories out of fear of the enemy—"

"Tell them that the rumors are true, I was the one who killed Jiang Jie! Why did I kill him? Because he became the leader of the sect, and for the past three hundred years, he made the swordsmen live in a corner, so that you people have forgotten the lessons of the past and don't know how to be afraid anymore!"

"From today on, I'll give you five days! After five days, anyone who stays within a two thousand mile radius of You Jiu Yuan will die!"

After Li Wuxiang said this, his figure flashed and he suddenly disappeared from the cypress tree.

Zhao Xuchen and Lu Sun stood where they were, with cold sweat on their foreheads. After a long while, they dared to try to move - no more sword lights suddenly attacked.

The two of them panted and looked at each other. Lu Falcon tightly grasped the tablet and said, "Senior Brother Zhao..."

"That's the Yin God..." Zhao Xuchen murmured, "He is really a Yuanying... How is that possible? This is a big problem. He... He is different from other swordsmen. He looks more ferocious and violent..."

Lu Xun turned to look at Pan Ge, then at Peng Shi and the other cultivators in the distance: "Brother Zhao, when we go back...what should we explain? They died, but we returned alive. The commander said that if we encounter a swordsman, we should be afraid before the battle--"

Zhao Xuchen came back to his senses and stared at the corpse on the ground for a while: "Are you still thinking about these things? If you are worried about these things, don't be afraid. Don't you understand... How difficult is it for a swordsman to become a Yuanying? According to what we know, this Li Wuxiang seems to be a disciple accepted by Mei Qiulu outside the Sword Sect, which means that he must have entered the Dao later than Mei Qiulu!"

Lu Falcon opened his eyes blankly: "Ah?"

Zhao Xuchen sighed, "Mei Qiulu's cultivation is already famous for being fast, which means that Li Wuxiang became an infant even faster than Mei Qiulu! It means that Mei Qiulu has some extraordinary cultivation method or treasure! This matter is more important than whether we live or die - we should ask the teachers to find a way to capture Li Wuxiang alive or to clarify this matter! Who knows how many people like him there are in the Sword Sect!? Do you understand?"

Lu Sun exhaled suddenly: "I understand... Let's put it this way, then... it can be considered a meritorious service, right?"

"What do you mean by just saying that? Oh, you, forget it." Zhao Xuchen raised his head again and looked in the direction of the thuja tree - he was actually a Yuanying? He still felt like he was dreaming!
His cultivation was not high, so he had no idea how the sect was planning to kill off the swordsman this time. But what he knew was that now that there was an extra Yuanying Sword Immortal... it would probably involve the redeployment of hundreds or even thousands of people!
