Chapter 170 Fishing in troubled waters
Chapter 170 Fishing in troubled waters
Just like the first time he fought with Zhao Kui in Lingshan, when he thrust the flying sword into the resentful ghosts underground and then pulled it out, a layer of blood evil had formed on the sword!
Ordinary weapons are useless against these things in the world of the living, but in the sacred mountain, facing their true forms, it is very similar to the concept of "true damage" that Li Wuxiang knew in his previous life - he first picked out some of the outermost ones that looked weak and small among the group of ghosts and monsters, and fiercely shot out the flying sword in the blood mist!
The Blood Evil Sword, powered by the Dan force, pierced through their bodies, and a large hole immediately appeared. The edge of the large hole was no longer flesh and blood, but more like a slowly rotating blood mist. Once it was damaged, it could never be healed. When the flying sword was retracted, the bodies of the three ghosts that were hit by his sword had already turned into blood mist.
At this time, the group of ghosts were still circling around the eyeball. Li Wuxiang did not stop after his attack and immediately escaped from Lingshan. Being able to freely shuttle between the world of the living and Lingshan, this method should not be known by many people. Even in the Sword Sect, people like Zeng Jianqiu had long forgotten about Guang Chanzi, so he had to keep this skill hidden.
When he appeared in the night, the giant ghost with six arms immediately saw him, and as if delighted, he immediately stretched out his six arms in the air and condensed six weapons in his palms: a knife, a sword, a spear, a stick, an umbrella, and a bell.
He first shook the bell in his hand and then held up the umbrella. Li Wuxiang was immediately covered by a beam of white light. He jumped left and right, but could not escape from the beam of light. The big ghost laughed loudly, his voice like thunder, and immediately used the other four weapons to kill him.
Li Wuxiang suspended the flying sword in front of his chest, pointed his sword, and shouted sternly: "The sky and the earth are boundless, Qiankun borrows the law, left is zero and right is fire, Thunder God helps me!"
After drinking, he pointed his sword outside the white light and said, "Go!"
He sneaked into Lingshan Mountain in one go, killed two little ghosts with his flying sword, and then escaped to the world of the living. It looked like he had cast a spell and passed through it directly!
……
Zhou Ruixin suddenly raised his head and took a deep breath in front of the desk, waking up from his brief trance. At this time, his expression was very strange, his left eye was staring straight ahead, motionless, but his right eye was looking at Lou He.
Zhou Ruixin looked to be about forty years old, with a dignified face, and looked like a very dignified clan leader, but at this moment he did not seem very smart. Seeing him like this, Lou He wanted to laugh in his heart, but Zhou Ruixin's next words made him unable to laugh for a while -
"The sky and the earth are boundless, Qiankun borrows the law, the left is zero and the right is fire, the Thunder God helps me - what is this spell? Do you know it in the Xuan Sect?"
Lou He was stunned: "Where did you hear that, Sect Master?"
"Li Wuxiang just shouted it out." Zhou Ruixin's face was solemn. "This man is a little harder to deal with than I thought... His curse can break my magic and my restrictions——"
"Junior Brother Lou, can you ask Sect Leader Zhou if he was the first one to know that the swordsman's flying sword can break the law?" Miao Yi's voice came from behind the screen.
Before Lou He could speak, Zhou Ruixin frowned and said, "Tell Miao Zhenshou that I know about this matter! But I have been practicing the Zhiyue Xuanguang of Tianxin Sect for so many years, so I naturally know how to deal with the swordsman. That Li Wuxiang is praying to borrow some magic! What does Zuo Ling You Huo mean? Who is the Thunder God? Whose magic did he borrow?"
Lou He thought for a moment and said, "Is it True Lord Shenxiao? If we talk about thunder, apart from the Emperor Xuanjiao, only the founder of Lingxiao Sect, True Lord Shenxiao, can be related to him... But he was good at using Thunderbolt Pills, which has nothing to do with breaking the law."
Zhou Ruixin was about to speak when his brows suddenly frowned: "Not good!"
After saying this, he entered into meditation again and did not move at all.
At this time, Miao Yi came out from behind the screen, looked at Zhou Ruixin, then looked at Lou He, and frowned: "Didn't they say that Li Wuxiang was a severely injured Jindan? How come Zhou Ruixin, the fake infant, couldn't control him even with the Moon-Pointing Mysterious Light?"
Lou He remained silent. Miao Yi paced a few steps on the spot: "Could it be that he is really a Yuanying? If he is really a Yuanying, Zhou Ruixin's fake one is not good enough... This idiot, there are so many people in Tianxin Sect, and now they know where Li Wuxiang is, won't they be able to kill him if they come out in full force? Really-"
"Guard against the odds, I'm afraid Zhou Ruixin can't control everyone." Lou He said in a low voice.
Miao Yi was stunned: "Huh? What do you mean? How did you figure that out?"
Lou He raised his face towards Zhou Ruixin and said, "Thirty-six sects have been passed down until now, and they have been humble between Taiyi Dao and our Xuanjiao. Those who can become the sect leader must have good character. Zhou Ruixin, the Tianxin Sect leader, has always been known for being steady and conservative, but he just rushed in with a fierce momentum and spoke rudely to us. Now that I think about it, he is even more like what I said, fierce on the outside but weak on the inside."
"I guess there must be a huge disagreement within the Tianxin Sect on whether to join the Xuan Sect or not, which may even threaten his position as the sect leader. That's why he came here - isn't this Wenxin Pavilion on Yulun Mountain equivalent to the Taoist temple of the Five Mountains Zhenxing Sect? Maybe he will feel at ease if he can enter a trance and control the Moon-Pointing Mysterious Light in our Taoist temple."
Lou He paused and said, "I even wondered if he was worried that if he used this magic weapon somewhere else, someone in the Tianxin Sect would take his life while he was in meditation."
Miao Yi frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Junior Brother Lou, what you said makes sense. With you by my side, I am completely safe. So, should we help him get rid of Li Wuxiang first?"
Lou He thought carefully for a moment and said, "I think we can wait a little longer. Tianxin Sect has been in business for more than 3,000 years and is as solid as a rock. Even if Zhou Ruixin cannot defeat him, Li Wuxiang has revealed his whereabouts. We are not afraid of him forcing his way into the mountain gate. Instead, we can take this opportunity to temper Zhou Ruixin's edge and give you a chance to vent your anger."
Miao Yi was still hesitant when he heard the first few sentences, but when he heard the last two sentences, he immediately said, "Yes, okay, let's do it!"
……
When Li Wuxiang hid in Lingshan again, his flying sword had already killed eleven small ghosts. He had traveled back and forth between Lingshan and the world of the living five times. Before each attack, he would mutter a few spells, then point his sword and immediately travel to the other side to kill a few more times.
When he returned to the world of the living for the sixth time, except for the big ghost, the remaining ghosts no longer dared to approach him, but only lurked in the shadows and howled from afar.
But this big ghost was really difficult to deal with. Every time it appeared in the world of the living, it would always use its magical powers to make Li Wuxiang flustered and exhausted. So when he returned to Lingshan for the seventh time, Li Wuxiang decided to take action against it.
It was quiet outside, but there were still many ghosts surrounding the eyeball in Lingshan. He didn't know if these things were conscious, but after getting rid of eleven ghosts, they seemed to feel that something was wrong, so they moved closer to the eyeball and gathered together.
So at this time, this area of Lingshan was like a fish pond with bait thrown into it, with a large group of ghosts crowded around the eyeball, as if they all wanted to grab the bead so that they could play in the world of the living. However, it was the big ones that were grabbing, while the smaller ones were mixed in the gaps and rushed directly into the bead in the eye socket of the big ghost - the ones lurking in the shadows outside just now should be these.
Li Wuxiang took a deep breath, making his skin swell up and prop up his face, making him look like a ghost. Then he jumped forward and blended into the group of ghosts.
The demons jumped around, all focused on the eyeballs, covering up the big ghost. Li Wuxiang tried several times but couldn't find an opportunity. Instead, he was pulled and tugged by the ghosts around him, and his anger rose all of a sudden. He saw a blood-red humanoid creature not far away also approaching the big ghost in the chaos, so he raised his flying sword and wanted to pierce it first to relieve his anger.
But just as the flying sword was about to be launched, the creature suddenly turned around, and Li Wuxiang saw its face clearly.
Unlike other ghosts, this one's facial features were clear and even well-proportioned. It was blood red all over, with two small bumps on its forehead, like a pair of horns that had not yet sprouted. Its body seemed to be covered with blood scabs formed by dried blood, and it was cracked, but if you looked closely, you could see that the cracks were not much different in size and shape, as if it were a body of red scales.
And its expression is also very lively, with an attitude of being happy and watching the fun——
Li Wuxiang suddenly dived through the crowd of ghosts, appeared in front of him, and whispered, "Zhao Qi!"
Zhao Qi was startled and shrank back suddenly. When he saw that it was Li Wuxiang, he immediately frowned and said, "Did you call me Zhao Qi? Not only do you not call me Master Longwei, but you also don't acknowledge me as your master?"
But after saying this, he immediately added: "I was wondering why I couldn't find you. You were moving back and forth between the two places, weren't you? You're really good. Who did you learn this skill from? Who did you trick again?"
The last time Li Wuxiang saw him, he was hiding alone in an ancient cave, like a shivering puppy, but now he is so arrogant that he even dares to mingle with this group of things to join in the fun. What powerful person has he got close to?
But Li Wuxiang didn't have time to ask these questions - he couldn't hide in Lingshan for too long, and he also had to make the person controlling the Finger to the Moon Mysterious Light wonder what kind of magic he relied on to hide his body.
So he immediately pointed at the big ghost and said, "I want to kill it."
Zhao Qi put his hands behind his back and sighed, "Alas, if you want me to help you, I can't. It's not that I, the True Lord Longwei, am afraid of them, but my children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As an elder, I can't interfere in the affairs of you young people. After all, I am about to become a true god, so you must be careful not to be involved in any karma-"
Li Wuxiang was impatient to listen to his long-winded talk, and just asked: "Is that thing powerful? I am a Jindan cultivator, can I kill it with a flying sword here in Lingshan?"
Zhao Qi curled his lips and said, "It's not that powerful. If it's a swordsman, it can just take one or two moves--"
At this time, the other ghosts beside the big ghost just staggered a gap, revealing its head completely. Li Wuxiang immediately urged the power of the elixir, condensed blood evil on the sword, and shot it fiercely!
Then Zhao Qi continued, "--But it has to be the Nascent Soul or Yang God level. Your golden elixir can't deal with it--Oh my god! Are you crazy! I told you that you can't deal with it!"
"Why do you talk so much nonsense? Why didn't you say it earlier?" After hearing the second half of his words, Li Wuxiang immediately retracted his tentacles and tried to take back the flying sword.
But just now, this big ghost was fighting with two monsters for the eyeball, and was just turning its head half a circle to the side, revealing its big eyeball - the tip of the flying sword hit it right in the middle, before being pulled back by Li Wuxiang.
With just a light tap, the eyeball was not damaged at all, but the ghosts surrounding it were suddenly furious!
They all covered their heads and wailed, as if the sword had stabbed all of their eyes!
The wailing sound was extremely sharp, and in an instant it swept away the blood mist around. Only then did Li Wuxiang realize that there were differences among the ghosts nearby - those who could feel were the ones closest to him, while those who could not feel were those on the periphery.
Those on the outside were swept away by the howling, and immediately their flesh and blood were like being peeled off by the strong wind. Layer after layer of blood on their bodies faded away, and in the blink of an eye, only a dark outline was left, which condensed into black beads and fell into the sea of blood below.
The rest of them, after roaring, immediately stopped trying to grab the eyeballs and looked around fiercely, as if trying to find out who had done it. Li Wuxiang saw that the situation was not good, and immediately fled from Lingshan. As soon as he returned to the world of the living, he heard Zhao Qi's cry: "...Evil disciple! You hurt me again!"
He still had the energy to curse his "evil disciple", which showed that this True Lord Longwei was not at the end of his rope and could still handle it. Li Wuxiang ignored him for the time being and concentrated on dealing with the big ghost who stayed in the world of the living.
But at this time, the big ghost did not look for him, but suddenly jumped up from the ground, turned into a stream of light and shot back into the moon. When the big ghost left, the shadows around him suddenly became quiet. Li Wuxiang was slightly stunned and realized that it should be the effect of his sword just now - that sword pierced the magic weapon in Lingshan, that is, the body of Yue Xuanguang, which must have made the person who controlled this thing extremely uncomfortable and panicked!
He immediately put his sword together again and shouted: "The sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the law, the golden body is indestructible, and the soul leaves the body!"
As soon as this spell was uttered, the moonlight in the sky suddenly dimmed. Li Wuxiang looked up and saw that a large shadow seemed to gather on the surface of the moon on the left, and it seemed that it was about to disappear into the clouds.
Was the other party really scared? It must be because of the tricks just now that made him feel like he was a Yuanying!
He only managed to temporarily scare off this wave, but his own blood and energy were also depleted, making it even more impossible for him to charge up Yulun Mountain.
Seeing the moon about to disappear, and thinking about the reactions of many ghosts when the flying sword hit the eye just now, Li Wuxiang suddenly had a bolder idea in his mind -
He immediately spoke in his mind: "Master Longwei! Master! How does the Tianxin Sect raise those ghosts?!"
