Chapter 388

This sword-qi lotus looked just like a newly picked lotus. Sword qi has always won by sharpness. Before the sword technique created by the Yan Yan Jianxian Taibai was revealed, who could have expected how violent and terrifying the sword qi contained in the weak-looking green lotus would be?

The black-robed man snorted coldly upon seeing this, raising his hand to release dozens of small black banners.

These black banners circled around his body, bringing up rope-like black qi, instantly occupying half of the blood cellar space, forming an intertwined web, and rolling toward Qian Chen.

Qian Chen had the intention to test the newly refined "Green Lotus Zang Zang Jian Ge," so he didn't strike with a divine thunder to shatter the formation of the black banners.

The iron sword in his hand transformed into countless sword shadows, weaving into a sword net, slashing in all directions simultaneously, with the sword qi power contained within, not yet released. But this sword's power was scattered, and although it slightly blocked the countless black ropes extended by the black banners, it failed to threaten the black-robed man in the slightest.

Seeing Qian Chen slash out hundreds of sword qi in an instant, the black-robed man was slightly surprised. But the power of that sword qi was not taken seriously by him at all.

The pure green sword qi looked good, but when slashed on the black qi released by the magic banners, there was a feeling of stagnation and toughness, often cutting off one or two without losing its sharpness. The power of this sword qi was really far behind Wang Longxiang's indestructible sword qi. In his opinion, even if these sword qi stabbed him, they would mostly be blocked by the Hundred Ghost Avoiding Soul Robe he was wearing.

Although he also noticed that after the sword qi scattered, it condensed and did not dissipate, like petals of scattered lotus flowers, which was extremely beautiful. But in his heart, he just sneered, this kind of flashy sword technique was not as threatening as gathering those hundreds of sword qi together.

As for why the power of this sword qi was so weak, he had no suspicion in his heart.

After all, Qian Chen slashed out hundreds of sword qi in one sword strike. If every one of them was fierce and could threaten him, the black-robed man would probably only be able to abandon the main soul on one black banner, replace himself to receive the sword qi, and then turn around and flee.

The black-robed man shook the black banners, and immediately countless black qi surged out, and various people appeared on the banner surfaces.

Among them, the demon lords on the nine main banners were all refined by Core Formation cultivators, and as soon as they took action, they were Daoist techniques with considerable power. Amidst the golden knives and fierce fires, the black-robed man slapped down with his palm, the black-green palm print containing nine types of poisonous evil qi, wanting to restrain Qian Chen.

"Wang Longxiang left in a hurry, and he must be unwilling. If I could hold this person hostage, it would be great to use him to threaten him!"

Although the black-robed man's vigilance had not been lowered, he already had time to think about various means to deal with Wang Longxiang in the future. This blood cellar was narrow and not easy to display powerful supernatural powers. The Nine Evil Palms he used were not very powerful, but they contained poisonous evil qi, which was very easy to use in this kind of close-quarters fighting.

Once a cultivator is stained with a little bit, the black-robed man can pollute his magic power with a thought, or even cause his flesh to rot. Qian Chen left all his protective magic artifacts to the woman ghost behind him, and his whole body was empty, which looked even more so.

Qian Chen's sword light went out, and he retreated.

Countless green lotus sword qi outside his body turned into a huge green lotus, wrapping his whole body. His movements instantly became like truth and illusion. Every time the green lotus turned and the sword qi scattered, Qian Chen's figure flashed, causing the black palm shadows hitting the green lotus to miss completely.

As the sword qi turned, he retreated one step.

The two advanced and retreated, and in an instant, they had passed seven moves. Qian Chen waved his iron sword, scattering countless sword qi while retreating, and most of the blood cellar had sword qi remnants like lotus petals.

The black-robed man only intended to add a little more strength to capture Qian Chen alive. He didn't care much whether Qian Chen was alive or dead when captured, so he snorted coldly, raised his magic power to the highest level, and shook the small black banners rotating around his body. The nine formless yin demons on them, together with the nine formless yin demons hidden in his body, and the thirty-six tangible yin demons all rushed out, turning into a gust of yin wind that pierced straight at Qian Chen's heart.

These nine formless yin demons and nine formless yin demons were part of the natal god and demon that the black-robed man prepared to cultivate.

The god and demon he wanted to cultivate is called in the Nine Heavens Dao—Formless and Faceless, Heavens Secret Demon!

It is a kind of demon lord known for its secrecy, often able to ruin a person's Dao heart and take their life silently. After refining this natal god and demon, and then refining thirty-six kinds of tangible yin demons, it can also change into thirty-six kinds of external appearances, sometimes male and sometimes female, flying birds and running beasts, which is a very strange and difficult-to-check god and demon of the demonic path, beneficial to infiltration.

At this time, although he had not yet cultivated the body of this natal god and demon, he could already display a part of the power of the god and demon's dharma body.

Now, with the nine formless yin demons and nine formless yin demons joining forces, and the thirty-six tangible god and demons assisting, they displayed a very strange supernatural power of the Heavens Secret Demon—Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Devouring Soul!

Qian Chen had already retreated to the side of the blood pool, with the blood pool behind him, and there was no way to retreat.

Under the Heavenly Luo San, the ghost woman looked at this scene in near despair.

She stretched out her hand to push the Heavenly Luo San back, but no matter how hard she tried, the Heavenly Luo San just hovered over her and the girl's corpse, motionless. The ghost woman turned her head suddenly, trying her best to perform her soul-stirring shrill scream, but the shrill scream containing soul power swept across and overturned the shrine, but it was just a breeze to the black-robed man.

At this moment, Qian Chen by the blood pool calmly put away his sword and stood tall on the spot.

He was calm and indifferent now, his brows just raised slightly, and he restrained other expressions. Facing the full-force killing move of the black-robed demon cultivator, he was unmoved, seemingly having powerful confidence that could not be shaken.

The ghost woman's body trembled, and she knelt down to hug her daughter's corpse...

Fifty-four demons were enough to easily pierce through the precious light of a Core Formation cultivator.

The black-robed demon cultivator had confidence that even if a Yin Spirit of the Daoist sect or a demon cultivator who had cultivated a natal demon god came, facing such supernatural power, it would be difficult to turn the tables. In his opinion, even if Qian Chen didn't show an extremely horrified expression at this moment, he should at least have a trace of disbelief and despair. But he looked for a long time and didn't see what he wanted to see.

The ghost woman knew nothing about Daoist magic supernatural powers before she died, but after she died, she also had a sense.

She almost instinctively sensed the terrifying power contained in those demons. Each one was thousands of times stronger than her, and the supernatural power condensed with the power to capture the soul made her feel like she was bathing in ice water, feeling a chilling coldness even as a bystander.

Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Devouring Soul!

Formless yin demons and formless secret demons hit Qian Chen's heart...

A purple lotus appeared out of thin air around Qian Chen, then trembled slightly, turning into nine petals that fell, completely taking away the power of this Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Devouring Soul strike.

Qian Chen was unstained by dust, and the power of the black-robed demon cultivator's full-force strike seemed to only barely wither one of Qian Chen's protective purple lotuses.

He even felt that this trace of innate purple qi was barely shaved off, and if it weren't for him restraining the blessing of the Supreme Qing Divine Talisman, I'm afraid that the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Devouring Soul strike would only have been able to wither the protective purple lotus once, and then it would have been reborn due to the blessing of the Supreme Qing Divine Talisman.

Sensing the shaving off of the innate purple qi, he lost a trace of the fundamental magic power of inhaling the purple qi at sunrise, and Qian Chen had a rough guess about the power of the protective purple qi.

Those fifty-four demons seemed to have frozen for a moment because of the shaving off of the purple qi, and only then did they shrink back into the black-robed demon cultivator's hands.

"Substitution spell!"

The black-robed demon cultivator hesitated for a moment, then sneered: "That purple lotus should be a substitution spell you worked hard to cultivate! Being able to block my strike can be considered miraculous, but it's a pity that I see you only condensed one purple lotus. Blocking this one, can it still block another one for you?"

Qian Chen sighed slightly: "This strike can be considered touching the lower limit of the innate purple qi lotus... If I hadn't suppressed the Supreme Qing Divine Talisman, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to shave off this lotus."

After he finished speaking, he sighed: "The lower limit of this lotus is probably the level of your full-force strike! The upper limit is estimated to be able to block the full-force strike of a Yin Spirit. I think if that Peacock's Five-Colored Divine Light brushes over, it can only brush off a few of my lotuses. This kind of magic power is only Core Formation, and one can condense a purple lotus by inhaling for one day. Three Pure Great Dao, is there still justice in this?"

Qian Chen couldn't help but shake his head, sweeping his eyes over him lightly, containing compassion.

He raised his hand and pointed casually, and a Supreme Qing Divine Talisman was released.

The black-robed demon cultivator saw the clear light turn into a rainbow, carrying a brilliant divine light with an unclear true form, and hitting his eyes. He hurriedly sacrificed a main soul black banner.

The clear light hit the black banner, and the Supreme Qing Divine Talisman pressed down, causing the small black banner to fall to the ground.

Qian Chen smiled lightly, verified the two kinds of magic power, and had no intention of delaying any longer.

The iron sword in his hand pointed out, just like the bamboo branch he pointed at the lake on the boat on Xuanwu Lake that day...

A green lotus bloomed. Under the traction of the sword qi, those sword qi scattered in all directions suddenly produced strange changes. Several sword qi gathered in one place, turning into a lotus flower. In an instant, green lotuses bloomed all over the blood cellar.

These sword qi lotuses were scattered all around, forming a strange formation, surrounding the black-robed demon cultivator in the center.

"You wouldn't know, Yan Yan Jianxian Taibai likes Cao Zhi's poems! So I used seven steps to become a sword to commemorate this style..."

Qian Chen held his sword and raised his head:

Since receiving the teachings of Yan Yan Jianxian Taibai, this is the first time Qian Chen has displayed it.

The previous sword qi was like a poet's brushstrokes, seemingly scattered, but in fact, it only needed a little spirit to penetrate these scattered brushstrokes to turn them into poems that would cry ghosts and gods for thousands of years!

Therefore, there was the third formula of the "Green Lotus Zang Zang Jian Ge"—the brush falls and shocks the wind and rain, the poem is finished and makes ghosts and gods cry!

This style has no fixed moves, but is a mysterious sword principle. No matter whether Qian Chen intentionally scattered those sword qi or not, as long as he performs the Green Lotus Zang Zang Jian Ge, the heavy sword qi will scatter on the battlefield, accumulating gradually over time, and then with this style, it will lead those scattered sword qi to turn into a shocking sword.

The more intense the battle, the more fierce and infinite the scattered sword qi, and the more terrifying the power of this sword.

Qian Chen just scattered the seven-step sword qi in his spare time, without the supreme sword intent and fierce killing intent carried by the sword qi during the battle, so he couldn't display the power of this sword to its peak.

Taibai's sword technique is like the water of a great river, endless, with sword qi scattered in all directions, heroic and hearty.

When this sword principle is triggered, in an instant, there will be infinite green lotuses blooming into a sea, and the power is unimaginable. Finally, that sword no longer needs to be constrained by sword principles, and it is often a stunning sword when waved casually.

But Qian Chen does not have such talent and heroism as Taibai.

Therefore, when he cited this sword principle, he made some changes and added the principle of sword formation. The accumulated sword qi turned into green lotuses, which also scattered into a formation according to the method of sword formation. At the moment when a sword triggers those scattered sword qi, it is also the moment when the sword formation is established.

Now hundreds of green lotuses are scattered in the blood cellar. In the narrow space, these green lotuses are scattered into a mysterious formation, surrounding the black-robed demon cultivator in the center. No matter which direction the black-robed demon cultivator touches the sword qi green lotus, it will trigger the change of the sword formation and turn into a fatal blow.

This is already a situation of ten deaths and no life!

The black-robed demon cultivator sensed the terrifying killing intent that was entangled in all directions, waiting to be released.

He only felt that the world was isolated by this sword, and the lotus flowers blooming around his body contained terrifying aura. As long as he moved slightly, triggering the reaction of the sword qi, hundreds of lotus flowers would turn into the most fierce and terrifying killing intent, piercing his heart with ten thousand swords and leaving his body covered in wounds.

Facing this sword, he could hardly raise any heart of resistance.

The black-robed demon cultivator's forehead oozed cold sweat, his body trembled slightly, and he forced himself to be calm: "Why does the Daoist friend want to make things difficult for me? You must know that I am just a running dog under someone else, and killing this dog will offend the master behind me. Why doesn't the Daoist friend think... being able to force Wang Longxiang to retreat and release the evil dragon to cause a flood to impact Jiankang, what kind of terrifying things are behind this? I'm not afraid of the Daoist friend laughing, the reason I risked facing Wang Longxiang to come here is because if I didn't come, my end would be worse than death."

"The Daoist friend is not someone who has no choice like us, why get involved in this muddy water? If you are not careful, you will lose the hope of longevity and leisure?"

"Haha..."

Qian Chen shook his head and smiled, raising his long sword: "Now you admit that it was you who caused the flood!"

The black-robed demon cultivator's face changed drastically, and he said urgently: "I am definitely not the Daoist friend's opponent, but if the Daoist friend kills me, the next person to preside over this matter will not be a character like me! At that time, the Daoist friend will also become the biggest obstacle to this matter. Everyone is just seeking longevity, why make things difficult for such small matters?"

Qian Chen's face was calm, and he didn't bother to argue with such people about how many people's lives the "small matters" in your eyes are, just saying: "You said so much, can you tell me who the person colluding with you in Southern Jin is?"

The black-robed demon cultivator's face changed several times, showing a trace of painful expression, and he shook his head with difficulty: "The Daoist friend should know the meticulousness of our demonic path's actions. I have long been planted with restrictions, and I can't say it at all! Even if the Daoist friend wants to search my soul, it will only trigger the restrictions and turn me into a demon curse to entangle the Daoist friend."

"I naturally know your demonic path's methods..."

Qian Chen moved the Supreme Qing Divine Talisman, and the small black banner that fell to the ground floated up slowly. Then he shot out dozens of Supreme Qing Divine Talisman magic powers, seizing those black banners.

"So, I also know how to crack your methods!"

The small black banners harboring yin demons circled the black-robed demon cultivator, and the demons on them let out painful hisses. The black-robed demon cultivator's face changed greatly, and he said in horror: "How do you know demonic path methods?" He just wanted to have some action, but nine green lotuses erupted, instantly slashing through the black-robed demon cultivator's Hundred Ghost Avoiding Soul Robe, piercing through his body, and locking all his magic power.

The thirty-six tangible yin demons, nine formless secret demons, and nine formless yin demons were instantly beaten into the black-robed demon cultivator's body by Qian Chen.

"I said, I want you to know what true cruelty is!"

"Refining gods and demons, right? I can do it too!"

Qian Chen beat the black-robed demon cultivator into the Red Lotus Hell Map that floated up behind him, pointed with his finger, and the Red Lotus Hell Map turned into a bloody light and sank into the blood pool.

He took the girl's corpse from the ghost woman's hand, and with the light of the Supreme Qing on his fingertips, he pointed at her forehead.

The secret magic treasures tattooed on the human skin peeled off one after another, melting into the blood pool...

Qian Chen sat cross-legged in front of the blood pool, on one hand using his innate clear qi to turn into Supreme Qing immortal light to refine the soul detained in the girl's corpse, and on the other hand flicking out the karmic fire red lotus, turning all kinds of resentment, all kinds of hatred, and those human heart poisons prepared to be refined into heavenly ghosts into poison, to concoct the black-robed demon cultivator in the blood pool red lotus hell.

Nine formless secret demons, nine formless yin demons, thirty-six tangible yin demons, plus a true demon soul.

Even the restriction demon hidden in the black-robed demon cultivator's soul was forced out by the karmic fire red lotus, and began to refine the formless and faceless, Heavens Secret Demon.

The black-robed demon cultivator's extremely miserable wailing echoed in the blood cellar, while the ghost woman knelt beside the blood pool, constantly calling the girl's name according to Qian Chen's instructions. Gradually, a ferocious and ugly soul with the characteristics of a heavenly ghost separated from the corpse, and under the traction of the Supreme Qing immortal light, constantly peeled off the demonic qi, slowly walking toward the ghost woman.

I don't know how many hours later, the heavenly ghost finally returned to its original appearance, turning into a weak and thin figure, and threw itself into the ghost woman's arms.

"Mother!"

With one call, the ghost woman burst into tears suddenly.

She raised her head slowly, her figure began to blur, but her obsession was resolved, and her ghost body gradually dissipated. Qian Chen's back turned with black and white mysterious light, turning into a Taiji diagram above the blood pool. He casually crushed a yuan qi spirit pill, turned it into sweet dew and sprinkled it down, refining the soul bodies for the mother and daughter and filling the illusory soul bodies.

The two hugged each other and turned their heads together, bowing to Qian Chen, then turned into spiritual light and threw themselves into the Taiji diagram, turned around, and went to reincarnation.
