Chapter 232: Demons gather to protect the way and slay the calamity (end)
On the coast of the East China Sea, on a deserted island, there are vast mountains and forests and towering ancient trees.

Three rays of light of different colors flew past quickly, two in front and one behind. A sword rainbow flashed behind, and the two rays of light in front fell down as if their wings were broken.

Bang, crash.

“Hahaha, I never thought that Junior Sister Qingyun would be such a close friend of Senior Sister Rong from the world-famous Mingyu League. This is… really interesting!”

The man in sight was a handsome man with a flowing white robe, delicate features, and a fine face. He could only be described as a peerless young man. His hand, which was well-maintained like that of a prince, was now holding a long sword as white as jade at an angle. It was obvious that the shocking sword just now was swung by him.

“call.”

There were two women who fell into the river on a deserted island. One of them was dressed in green and had beautiful features. At this moment, she was covering her bleeding shoulder and leaning on the rocks on the shore with a pale face. Her expression was indifferent and it was impossible to tell what she was feeling.

Then, a figure with long hair like a waterfall slowly emerged from the water. This female cultivator was dressed in black silk clothes and her skin was as white as snow and jade, unusually white. The black clothes and white skin set off her bright and dazzling appearance. She had long hair like clouds, eyebrows like willows, cherry lips and white teeth, and she was charming and alluring.

The Taoist robe was soaked with water, and the fine material of the clothes was stuck to the body. Although only the exquisite curves could be seen, the picturesque beauty still made Zhuang Bufan swallow deeply.

Although they are second-rate in the Xuanmen, the Mingyu League and the Xuanting Sword Sect belong to the paths of good and evil. There are several Jindan masters in the sect and more than a thousand disciples. Even in the entire cultivation world, they are of great importance.

Today, Zhuang Bufan accidentally discovered that his junior sister was having a secret meeting with a witch from the evil Mingyu League, so he chased her here, hoping to capture her in one fell swoop.

If he had not been worried about hurting these two stunning junior sisters, with his level of cultivation, he would not even need to chase them here and would have already killed them both.

“Brother Zhuang, since you know that Qingyun and I are colluding with each other, why don’t you think about whether we are colluding with other people? Now that things have come to this, I can’t say anything today and I can’t let you stay!”

“what?”

Zhuang Bufan was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that the world around him was suddenly filled with a murderous intent that made him terrified.

An invisible but tangible transparent flying sword suddenly appeared out of thin air and flew around his body.

The next moment, this young and talented monk who was highly regarded by his family felt his body lighten. His vision turned, and the last scene he saw was a very familiar headless corpse falling from mid-air:
“That…isn’t my body?”

Zhuang Bufan can definitely be called a young talent. He has already achieved the Jindan stage at such a young age. Although the quality of the pill is not high, after all, he has achieved the art of alchemy before he is two hundred years old. In the future, it will not be a problem for him to support the Xuanting Sword Sect by cultivating to the late stage of Jindan.

However, such a person who had practiced for a hundred years was killed by a sword in front of Rong Jiaoer and Zhou Qingyun at this moment. He didn’t even have time to react and his life was cut off.

“Envoy Miaofeng, I pay my respects to the Blood Lord.”

“Envoy Yunyue, I pay my respects to Lord Blood.”

Rong Jiao’er and Zhou Qingyun walked forward and came to the middle of the forest. There was a young Taoist lazily leaning between the tree trunks, holding a gourd in his hand and drinking.

For ordinary people, alcohol is not a good thing. Taking a sip will harm your body, but it is good for your mood, so it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

For cultivators, wine can help boost qi, cleanse away negative dregs, and refine the true qi. The qi will flow easily after drinking, but it must be good wine, magical wine. Lu Cheng’s magic power has been greatly depleted in the past few days. In order to avoid affecting his ability to attack, he has found many of the fine magical wines that Xue Yuzhen had placed in his Qiankun bag in the past, and has been drinking them non-stop.

At this moment, I feel a little drunk, like a drunk Taoist among flowers.

But Rong Jiao’er and Zhou Qingyun, the two sisters, had watched him kill seven sects in three days. How could they dare to look down on him? They were only filled with awe.

Huang Longzi was refining his infant body to meet the calamity. Some people bet on his failure, just like the many masters of good and evil on the shores of the East China Sea. Some people bet on his success, such as Lu Chengru, Rong Jiaoer, and Zhou Qingyun.

In the past few days, Lu Cheng has been successful continuously, making it impossible for the masters of both good and evil to catch him. On the one hand, it is because of his profound magical power and his sword has entered the five qi invisible sword with amazing killing power.

Another reason is that he is hiding in the dark and is familiar with these cultivators of both good and evil. Lu Cheng can even find the insiders of the Blood Rain Tower among them, such as the two beauties in front of him.

Rong Jiaoer is a cultivator from Mingyu League, an alliance where evil cultivators gather. He regards Xia Ji, the wife of Mingyu League leader Li Yingtian, as his adoptive mother and holds a noble status.

Zhou Qingyun is the surviving daughter of the previous leader of the Xuanting Sword Sect, a righteous sword sect.

But both of them were actually cultivators from the Blood Rain Tower, a killer organization in the Tongxuan Realm.

Through them, Lu Cheng gradually understood the ways of doing things of Xueyu Tower. This organization first recruited people to join with relaxed conditions, and as they completed tasks again and again and eliminated dissidents to gain benefits, they naturally got deeper and deeper into trouble, and Xueyu Tower got more and more evidence against them.

In the end, you are stuck in the mud and there is only one way to go.

When Xueyu Tower invited Lu Cheng to join, they used the same approach and means, but Lu Cheng’s business ability was too good.

He actually killed Deng Dongyuan, the leader of the Twin Saints of Dongdao. Everyone in the world knew that although they were called the Twin Saints of Dongdao, Shang Xiwen was actually a disciple trained almost entirely by Deng Dongyuan.

Xueyu Tower needed this signboard, and since Lu Cheng’s magical power improved so quickly, he was able to go from being a subordinate to a partner.

The Xueyu Tower now needs Lu Cheng’s reputation, but is also afraid of Lu Cheng intervening too much in the affairs of the Xueyu Tower and becoming the master.

In fact, even if Lu Cheng did not want to do so, his status in the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace was too high. Many cultivators who were trapped in the Blood Rain Tower naturally wanted to change their allegiance after seeing Lu Cheng.

If he takes a step forward, he will be a disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun. Even if he takes a step back, he will be under the protection of Jindan Zhenren Lu Cheng, which is far better than the current situation.

“Blood Lord, my sister Qingyun and I lured Zhuang Bufan to death for you. That old man Zhuang will definitely not let it go. This matter will be investigated sooner or later. Please protect us sisters, Blood Lord. Please.”

As she spoke, Rong Jiao’er knelt down. The girl was tall, with plump breasts, round hips, a thin waist and long legs. She was dressed in a dark robe and black clothes. The close-fitting silk perfectly showed off her proud figure, revealing her delicate collarbone and porcelain-like skin.

When tears fill the eyelashes, there is infinite charm rippling in them.

What’s even more amazing is the pitiful and admiring look in her eyes, as if she is ready to be picked by you. She is definitely a beauty that most men in the world cannot resist!
Standing next to her was Zhou Qingyun, wearing a blood-stained blue dress, looking pitiful, and her beauty was yet also filled with pride and stubbornness. It would be fine if these two girls were separated, but once they were together, the strong contrast added to their charm.

But at this moment, Lu Cheng suddenly stood up as if he sobered up, and waved his hand violently. The five elements sword energy formed an air shield that enveloped the surroundings.

This made Rong Jiao’er and Zhou Qingyun shocked. Has he become lustful?

Are we going to just sit here and watch the sky and the earth?
I have heard for a long time that the monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace do not follow the rules and regulations and do not know the teachings. They hold ceremonies without any cover…

Just as Rong Jiao’er and Zhou Qingyun were looking at each other, hesitating whether to take off their clothes, a group of cultivators flew past in the distance.

The leader was a short boy in a dark red Taoist robe, about seven or eight years old, with a delicate figure, but with a long sword on his back. There was a murderous look in his eyes that made people dare not look down on him.

“Who is this person?”

Lu Cheng frowned slightly, sensing that this person posed a huge threat to his master.

“Reporting to Lord Xue, this man is the great elder of the Southern Sect, the Fire Scale Boy Qi Tianyan. He arrived a few days ago, and as soon as he arrived, he caused many demon sect monks to defect.” Rong Jiaoer hurried forward and told him the information he knew.

“It turned out to be this person.”

Lu Cheng finally understood why there was no portrait of this person in his memory. The Southern Sect’s Grand Elder, the Fire Scale Great Sage Qi Tianyan, had practiced Taoism for even longer years than Huang Longzi. Many people secretly spread the rumor that he had cultivated a magical skill that could allow him to achieve immortality and could remain in the world forever to become a land immortal.

Every time he came out of seclusion in the past, he switched between the three images of old, middle-aged and young, and his appearance was also different. As a result, Lu Cheng certainly couldn’t have a portrait of him in his mind. Even though this person was extremely important.

Only after those cultivators had gone far away did Lu Cheng withdraw his sword energy. Rong Jiaoer and Zhou Qingyun also breathed a sigh of relief.

“You have done a lot of work during this period. After you finish your work here, go to Guizang Mountain. I will ask the master for credit for you. As long as you want, it should not be a problem for you to lead a sect in the future. If you want to study Taoism in depth, I will not let you gain nothing.” Lu Cheng said.

Rong Jiaoer and Zhou Qingyun looked at each other excitedly, and then bowed together. Rong Jiaoer took the initiative to do so, while Zhou Qingyun glanced at his companion, gritted his teeth, and knelt down. From this, one can vaguely see the temperaments of the two.

After this matter is over, of course, I have made great contributions, but when it comes to contributions, everyone will share the credit, and the more you share, the greater the credit. Moreover, when the time comes, the new atmosphere of the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace will also require some alert and intelligent people under my command. As for the troubles with Rong Jiao’er and Zhou Qingyun, they will probably no longer be troubles by then.

Just because the Mingyu League and Xuanting Sword Sect were involved in the East China Sea affairs, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation Palace swallowed them up afterwards, no one in the world dared to say a word.

Just as Lu Cheng and Rong Jiaoer had calculated, the death of Xuanting Sword Sect’s young master Zhuang Bufan directly broke through Zhuang Kangbo’s psychological defenses. Zhuang Kangbo was a cunning and treacherous man. Xuanting Sword Sect was obviously a righteous sect, but it was the first sect to surrender to Yinshan Zhenren and even won over several sects to do the same.

However, the death of Zhuang Bufan happened to be related to Rong Jiaoer, the adopted daughter of Li Yingtian, the leader of Mingyu League. The mad Zhuang Kangbo wanted to kill Rong Jiaoer on the spot to avenge his beloved son.

But if Li Yingtian tolerated this, he, the leader of the alliance, would not have to sit down anymore. The two of them fought fiercely in front of Yinshan Zhenren. Yinshan Zhenren, who was happy about the surrender of various sects a few days ago, suddenly felt overwhelmed.

Such a big thing will definitely have a result in the end. It is impossible to conceal it for long. If Rong Jiaoer and Zhou Qingyun don’t have a backup plan, they will definitely die in the end. I’m afraid they won’t even be able to reincarnate.

However, what we are fighting for are these few days.

…………

The Fire Scale Boy Qi Tianyan is a proud, casual person who likes to be alone.

Obviously, his reputation was higher than that of Yinshan Zhenren, but he did not live with the other cultivators. Instead, he built his own residence and went to the sea every day to face the sun and absorb the fire energy.

This gives someone the opportunity to assassinate him.

Qi Tianyan’s Taoism and magical powers may be even higher than Yinshan Zhenren. He is one of the top Jindan Zhenren in this world. Taoist Huang Longzi may not be his opponent even in his prime.

But because of this, the threat he can pose is even greater.

Moreover, this was a surprise attack. Even if he missed, Lu Cheng was confident that he could escape thousands miles away before the other party counterattacked and killed him.

But at that time, Master Huang Longzi could only wish for good luck, as he had already tried his best.

The boy in a fiery red Taoist robe stood on the turbulent East China Sea. His skin was white and translucent, and at this moment, with his eyes closed, he even looked a bit childish.

At this moment, his hands gathered into a seal, drawing the surrounding spiritual energy into a ball of blazing golden-red flame, which stood in front of him, breathing in and out and transforming.

As he took a deep breath, the flames around him suddenly expanded, as if they were going to burn the world to ashes. The blazing fire was boiling in his body, as if there were roaring fire dragons, raging flames were surging in his meridians, and every drop of blood was even burning with dazzling flames.

The surrounding sea water boils due to the high temperature, and layers of water vapor rise from the sea surface.

At this moment, the colors of the surrounding sky and earth seemed to become somewhat intense:

The sky was bluer, the water was bluer, the trees were greener, the soil was yellower, and even the sun in the distance at the horizon seemed to be burning brighter and deeper red.

“Huh? What is this?”

The next moment, a golden giant appeared out of thin air between heaven and earth, and with his hands pinching the seal, he fell down with a bang. Using the powerful magic power of the magic lamp body to push the innate five elements seal, in Lu Cheng’s hands it was so powerful that it almost had the power to split the sky and the sea.

At the same time, a transparent flying sword that was formed by merging five swords into one, invisible and shadowy, swept past behind the Fire Scale Boy, as if it contained some ultimate truth between heaven and earth, attracting the vitality of heaven and earth to gather and change.

A huge Dharma image suddenly emerged from the body of the Fire Scale Boy, with a dragon head, deer antlers, snake scales, an ox tail, a tiger back and a bear waist. It was shaped like a sika deer, and its body was covered with dense fiery red scales. It looked even more burning fiercely in the sunlight, and its aura was so arrogant that it seemed ready to devour all things in the world and burn them to ashes at any moment.

He used this Dharma body to resist the Dharma body of the magic lamp, and the Fire Scale Boy suddenly turned around and stretched out a palm. A blazing flame burned from his small hand as white as jade, and it collided with the tip of the flying sword.

However, the sword light was like a tide, surging endlessly. The Five Elements Flying Sword was in Lu Cheng’s hand, facing the flames released by the Fire Scale Boy. Between the sea and the sky, it drew sharp trajectories, drawing the vitality of heaven and earth, continuously pressing down on it.

Faintly, a sword-like dragon seemed to emerge from the flying sword, and the sword energy took shape!

Lu Cheng’s Five Elements Sword Technique seemed to carry the power of nature, majestic and irresistible, and every sword was extremely decisive and sharp.

“The sword enters the five qi! What a great skill, the sword enters the five qi, invisible and formless, and can even mobilize the power of heaven and earth. Unfortunately, there is nothing in this world that cannot be burned.”

As he laughed softly, the golden-red flame in the Fire Scale Boy’s palm grew stronger and stronger, and a ferocious beast’s magic power was born from it. A fire unicorn had a single horn on its head, as sharp as a knife, and a pair of eyes with golden vertical pupils were as blazing as torches. In a flash of light, it imprinted its most ferocious, cruel, and crazy beastly murderous intent into Lu Cheng’s eyes and heart in an extremely hot form, which was enough to burn anyone’s reason and courage into ashes in the form of heart fire.

It was also the first time that Lu Cheng encountered an opponent whose Five Elements Sword Intentions were completely irresistible. Of course, this was also due to the difference in Taoism and magic power between the two sides.

If he had not already formed a golden elixir and had not dared to rely on his innate blood and fire to fight such an opponent at the peak of the Refining Gang realm, the result would have been to be burned to ashes, and he would not even be able to escape with his life.

Lu Cheng quickly made hand gestures with his left hand, connecting the burning Samadhi True Fire in his body and swallowing up the Heart Fire Dharma Intention that had already invaded his body. However, he still felt his meridians burning and aching slightly.

“Huh? Samadhi True Fire! I never thought that Taoist Huang Longzi would have such a talent under his tutelage. No wonder he dared to go against the will of heaven and cultivate the Nascent Soul.”

At this moment, the Fire Scale Boy Qi Tianyan did not know that Lu Cheng had cultivated the Samadhi True Fire by combining the three fires into one. He only thought that Lu Cheng had enough opportunities and luck to cultivate the Samadhi True Fire with the golden elixir magical power.

This is something that can be done, but cultivators who have not combined the three fires into the Samadhi True Fire can only exert the basic power of the Samadhi True Fire itself, but cannot guide the Samadhi True Fire to temper themselves, because after all, they cannot control it perfectly.

Forcing oneself to temper oneself with the Samadhi Fire is the only way out except death.

Only by starting from the most basic time, and combining the three fires of Qi Fire, Life Fire, and Divine Fire into one, can one truly master the Samadhi True Fire. Even the Fire Scale Boy Qi Tianyan is not clear about this.

“…I didn’t know you were my teacher and old friend. I am honored to meet you, Senior.”

Knowing one thing and knowing three things, upon hearing this, Lu Cheng suddenly drew away his sword and retreated, then bowed politely.

He had been searching all this time, wondering where He Tianyan and those Jindan cultivators from the Three Immortal Islands in the East China Sea and the Soul-Suppressing Valley had gone. Even if they didn’t have their own magic lamp bodies to replace their flying bodies, they should have arrived after a few days.

Now after hearing what the Fire Scale Boy Qi Tianyan said, and combining it with the time when he appeared, all the key points were connected together, and Lu Cheng suddenly felt enlightened.

At the same time, during that attack just now, Lu Cheng also vaguely figured out some of the opponent’s background.

“Yes, I am the first Fire Qilin in this world. Judging from your expression, it seems that Huang Longzi had already explained the truth of this world to you before you refined the golden elixir?
Haha, if it is a piece of jade, it will naturally shine brightly, but if it is a piece of brick or stone, what should we do?
Not to mention you, even Huang Longzi himself, wasn’t his heart in deep trouble due to the pressure from the twenty-four demon gods? “

As he spoke, Qi Tianyan pointed at Huang Longzi who was still under the calamity cloud in the distance and said so.

But at this moment, the old man, who was dying, suddenly straightened his tall body and roared in a low voice, like the last struggle of a wounded beast.

Then he formed a seal with his hands and slashed out a sword energy as fierce as a rainbow into the calamity cloud in the sky, with the utmost perseverance and determination, and one that would not change until death.

If God does not bless the human race, I will use my supernatural powers to defy fate!
“The Burning Spell! I didn’t expect that he would choose this moment to cast my Burning Spell. But that’s just his nature. How could he be willing to put his life in the hands of others?

Boy, let me make it clear to you first. I am not your master’s friend. He just promised me to protect him once, and he will repay me three times in the future. But don’t think I will risk my life for him. This disaster has to be borne by you, master and disciple.”

　There are still four thousand words to be updated before midnight!
