Chapter 85

"Are you really a disciple of Buddhism?"

"Hmm!"

"Since when do disciples of Buddhism use swords?"

"And, and it's such a stunning sword technique?"

"Master said, it's not peaceful down the mountain, learning a few more moves can protect yourself."

"..."

"Old General! I swear in the name of Song Ming, I am really a disciple of Buddhism."

Zheng Yuan looked at the bottomless chasm in front of him, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

Even though he had guarded the border for decades and experienced countless human affairs.

He couldn't help but be a little shocked.

One sword.

The Wenwu Building was gone.

What Ya Ze, what Demon Spirit.

What array of blood sacrificing living beings.

All disappeared.

Leaving only a bottomless chasm in front of him.

"May I ask Master, where is Jinshan Temple?"

"I will go and offer a stick of incense in the future."

"Ah this..."

"A small temple, not worth mentioning."

Li Xiang prevaricated casually.

While speaking, he opened the map to confirm.

Hmm, Ya Ze's avatar had indeed disappeared completely, dead thoroughly.

But Li Xiang didn't mind.

If one sword didn't work.

Actually, another sword wouldn't be impossible.

After slashing with this 【Green Lotus Sword Song】, Li Xiang himself was slightly surprised.

If the combat power of a Seventh Grade martial artist who condensed a hundred drops of essence blood and a martial soul was 20.

Then the demonized Ya Ze's combat power was probably around 60-100.

And he, who condensed his true self with a thousand drops of essence blood, had a combat power of about 200.

Picking up the sword and using the Green Lotus Sword Song, the sword he slashed out had a combat power of at least 400+ instantly.

Although they were all at the same level, they were not at the same conceptual level as Li Xiang.

Invincible at the same rank.

Others in front of Li Xiang, unless they were geniuses or reincarnations of ancient gods and demons, were likely like ants.

This was Li Xiang's evaluation of himself.

And this was just the result of his single cultivation of martial arts.

If he brought up Immortal Dao and Confucian Dao to the Seventh Realm of Transcendence.

Li Xiang felt that maybe Sixth Grade, no, Fifth Grade powerhouses, he would have a chance to wrestle with them.

Fighting across two major realms, this is a very perverted thing.

You know, even for peerless geniuses, very few can fight across realms.

Not to mention across two major realms, even a Holy Land God Son couldn't do it.

Overcoming the superior, invincible at the same rank.

Sure enough, mortal cultivation has no future.

If you want to become strong, you have to cheat!

"Master, you are so right."

"Pushing through horizontally is really easy."

After muttering a few words.

Li Xiang looked at Zheng Yuan.

"Old General!"

"Please go to the government office first and persuade Guardian Lu and Master Qi to stop them from being impulsive."

"That county magistrate is the main body of the Demon Spirit, and his strength is extremely powerful."

"Without absolute certainty of victory, don't be impulsive."

Li Xiang muttered while searching on the ground.

He wanted to find a sword.

For no other reason.

Just because the long sword in his hand had completely weathered away.

A sword with such power, how could it be borne by an ordinary object?

The long sword shattered and turned into dust.

"Master, I will go and persuade Guardian Lu."

Saying that, Zheng Yuan picked up the Crescent Blade and prepared to set off for the North City to support Lu Jianxing and his group.

Just walked two steps.

But saw Li Xiang not moving.

Then he turned back and looked at Li Xiang curiously.

"Master, aren't you coming with me?"

"Ah, no, I'll go to Yongchang Tower first."

"The main general of Chiyang County, Wei Ziwen, has also been controlled by the Demon Spirit and is destroying the Demon Suppression Bell."

"I'll go and kill him, and when the time comes, I'll reactivate the Demon Suppression Bell, and the Demon Spirit's own strength will be weakened a lot, so it will be easier for us to subdue the demon."

Li Xiang said without even looking up.

He walked to the corpse of a demon soldier, bent down, and took a long sword from him.

This guy seemed to be an adjutant before he died.

His equipment was different from others.

It's just a pity he couldn't resist desire and became a demon servant.

Li Xiang put away the long sword and hung it at his waist.

At this moment, he was wearing a large red cassock, but a sharp weapon was hung at his waist.

It looked very strange.

"Old General, that's it, I'll trouble you."

"I'll go and kill that Wei Ziwen first."

"I'll meet up with you later."

"Remember, before I arrive, you must not take action rashly."

After speaking, he saw Li Xiang carrying the long sword, turning into a stream of light and heading toward Yongchang Tower in the center of the city.

Zheng Yuan's expression was strange.

He looked at Li Xiang's back, then at the bottomless chasm on the ground.

He dragged his Crescent Blade and muttered to himself.

"Are all strong people this steady?"

——

City center, Yongchang Tower.

On the bluestone-paved road, passersby could no longer be seen, and groups of soldiers wearing black armor surrounded the entire Yongchang Tower in the center.

Yongchang Tower is a unique building that every city in the Great Liang Dynasty has.

It contains the ashes and spirit tablets of soldiers who died in battle for the Great Liang Dynasty, indicating that humanity is prosperous and the dynasty will not perish.

In the middle of the ninth month every year, many people go to Yongchang Tower to sacrifice to their ancestors.

This is the most unique building of the Great Liang Dynasty, used to unite the hearts of the people.

Besides that, the most important thing about Yongchang Tower is that it also stores the Demon Suppression Bell that suppresses a city.

This is a special node of the Great Liang's human Dharma Net.

It can be said that it is these Yongchang Towers that connect the entire Great Liang's human trend.

It is an extremely important strategic point.

On weekdays, suppressing a city can prevent evil spirits from causing chaos, and can also connect to the human Dharma Net to respond to the Liang King's call.

At this time, hundreds of armored soldiers surrounded Yongchang Tower in the center.

But no one dared to approach it.

On the outskirts of Yongchang Tower, a layer of faint halo wrapped the entire Yongchang Tower.

Similar to the halo protecting Shihe Village, but dozens of times stronger.

In front of the building, a demon general wearing black armor, like a tiger crouching and a dragon coiling, scanned the front coldly.

This was the main general of Chiyang County, Wei Ziwen.

Wei Ziwen and Wei Ziwu were the county magistrate and main general of the city, respectively, controlling military and political power.

Although the imperial court prohibited military and political power from being so concentrated in the hands of one family.

But in such marginal cities, the binding power of the decree was indeed much smaller.

Wei Ziwen and Wei Ziwu, Ziwen was not literary, Ziwu was not martial.

Wei Ziwen practiced good martial arts and was the main general of Chiyang County.

Wei Ziwu was full of poetry and books, and became the county magistrate of Chiyang County.

By chance, it was truly bizarre.

But at this time, in front of Yongchang Tower, the demon soldiers were driving a group of mortals, letting them burn Yongchang Tower with torches.

And then destroy the Demon Suppression Bell.

It's just that these mortals were very cunning.

Just as they approached Yongchang Tower, they actually drilled inside directly, relying on the protection of the Demon Suppression Bell, hiding inside the building and not coming out.

Wei Ziwen was furious, waving his long halberd, smashing many bluestone bricks.

Not far away.

Li Xiang stood on the roof of a tiled house, watching the farce in front of him.

"Emmm..."

"I originally thought the Demon Spirit's splitting of troops was already stupid enough."

"I didn't expect there to be such an outrageous operation."

"Sending mortals to directly attack Yongchang Tower, instead letting the mortals hide in Yongchang Tower, while he himself is outside breaking his defense and cursing."

"Okay, I, Li Xiang, am willing to call you the strongest!"

Muttering.

Li Xiang carefully observed Wei Ziwen's state.

This guy was the main general of Chiyang County, he thought his strength should be the strongest.

Plus the Demon Spirit's strengthening.

Li Xiang didn't know if this guy had broken through to the Sixth Grade, or stronger.

"Hmm!"

"Be steady, if I can't kill him with one sword, it will take a lot of effort."

Wei Ziwen stood in front of Yongchang Tower, wearing black armor, pinching the long halberd in his hand.

Strands of crimson Gang Qi exploded around him, blowing up large areas of buildings.

Just casually, Gang Qi broke through the air.

Good fellow.

Wei Ziwen's strength should have reached the Sixth Grade, clarifying his own path, and having his own martial intent.

The so-called martial intent speaks of the breath in a martial artist's chest.

Everyone who practices fists and holds weapons should have a spirit, a thought from the heart.

Some people swing their fists to protect.

Some people swing their fists for longevity.

And some people swing their fists just to be invincible in the world.

Clarifying one's own path, condensing the spirit, can one restrain the essence blood in the body and cultivate kung fu into the bones and organs.

Tempering one's body bit by bit, until completely reborn, fists and feet can move mountains and unload ridges, stirring up wind and clouds.

This thing is a bit metaphysical.

The limit of an ordinary person's life is here.

Without great opportunity and great perseverance, it is extremely difficult to pass this barrier.

At this moment, Li Xiang looked from afar, estimating Wei Ziwen's power.

This Gang Qi was full of malice.

Wei Ziwen's spirit seemed very unique.

No, it was pure.

Extremely greedy, purely greedy, longing for everything, wanting to plunder everything.

"Did you step into the Sixth Grade with the help of the Demon Spirit?"

"Even the martial intent you condensed has been completely swallowed by desire, turning into an evil beast dominated by desire."

Li Xiang shook his head.

Then he took the long sword from behind.

Aiming slightly, and confirming there were no civilians along the way.

With one sword slash, only a white light remained between heaven and earth.

The combat power buff of 【Green Lotus Sword Song】 was too high.

Wei Ziwen only broke through to the Sixth Grade by relying on the Demon Spirit.

Then such a Sixth Grade was actually quite watery.

"If it's only to this extent, then you can go die."

"In the next life, don't practice mortal cultivation."

The long sword shattered and turned into dust.

Looking up again.

On the four-lane bluestone road in front of Yongchang Tower, only a bottomless long abyss remained now.

As for Wei Ziwen and those demon soldiers, they had all disappeared.

——

Inside Yongchang Tower.

Dozens of civilians were hiding near the Demon Suppression Bell in terror.

They didn't know what had happened in the city.

The army became cruel and cold-blooded, friends became crazy.

It seemed that only near the Demon Suppression Bell could they feel a little sense of security.

The Demon Suppression Bell hung in the center of Yongchang Tower, and at this moment it vibrated gently, and a halo wrapped Yongchang Tower.

But above the Demon Suppression Bell, there seemed to be a mass of deep red mist, trying its best to suppress it.

Before long, a figure wearing a red cassock walked in.

He looked up at the Demon Suppression Bell and let out an exclamation.

"Eh."

"Actually used the power collected by all the infected people in the city to suppress the Demon Suppression Bell?"

"I didn't expect you to be so afraid of it."

The next moment, Li Xiang waved his fist lightly and smashed it straight onto the Demon Suppression Bell.

Immediately, the continuous bell sound resounded through the entire Chiyang County.

In the government office in the North City.

Under the plaque of "Bright Mirror Hanging High," a man as fat as a pig, with small eyes, wearing an official robe, sitting on a mountain of grain, suddenly screamed loudly.

"Bold!"

"Someone actually dares to disobey this official's order!"

"Who is it! This official wants you to die a miserable death!"

In front of Yongchang Tower, Li Xiang, who was looking for a sword, sneezed.

"Hmm?"

"Is someone missing me?"
