Volume 6: Wangchuan Chapter 45: Being a human being is three parts evil, and being a swordsman is three parts murderous
"Please." Yan Qingfeng said respectfully.
When he was alive, his cultivation was higher than Lu Qingshan's .
But on the path of sword cultivation, he is not as determined as Lu Qingshan.
So this respect comes from the heart.
Lu Qingshan bowed to show his gratitude and continued forward.
Immediately, consciousness roared again, and all the surrounding scenes changed dramatically.
This should be the last time.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the mountain top which was already within reach and thought to himself.
…
Yan Qingfeng's figure suddenly faded after Lu Qingshan passed by.
Yan Qingfeng appeared again beside the middle-aged Confucian scholar.
"Your Excellency the Prison Master, Fellow Daoist Li." Yan Qingfeng bowed.
The two nodded.
Yan Qingfeng looked at Lu Qingshan who was once again in the state of questioning his mind on the mountain path, and felt a little curious, "I wonder what kind of mind is Daoist Liu Han asking about in this state of questioning his mind?"
He and Li Zhao both had regrets in their hearts, and their sword hearts were frozen.
Therefore, the two of them stayed on Mount Dai and had not yet reincarnated, not only to help select suitable sword practitioners as entrusted by the Lord of the Yellow Springs Prison, but also to find the answer to the question that had puzzled them for a long time.
Lu Qingshan has now given them the answer.
But Fellow Daoist Liu Han is different.
He himself is a sword practitioner with a clear sword heart and has no regrets.
Therefore, although he was also entrusted by the Lord of Huangquan Prison to help him select a suitable sword cultivator, after leaving the state of questioning the heart, Liu Han reincarnated and left.
They had no idea .
The eyes of the Yellow Springs Prison Master were deep and contained divine light. "Since he was able to pass the test of the two of you, there is no doubt that he is sincere in the way of the sword. However, being too straightforward can easily lead to breaking, and being too sincere can easily lead to death. What Liu Han asked about is his evil intention and murderous intent. The sword is a killing weapon. It is not enough for a sword cultivator to have a sword in his hands. He must also have a sword in his heart to be able to control this great killing weapon."
…
When Lu Qingshan opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely new environment.
Here, the human race headed by the twelve major sects and the demon race headed by the three demon kings have been fighting for thousands of years.
This battle between humans and demons was full of ups and downs.
For a hundred years, the top combat forces of the human race died one after another due to their lifespan, and the human race, which was in a period of transition, was almost on the verge of collapse.
Fortunately, Liu Han, the current leader of Xishan Sword House, appeared out of nowhere and blocked the three demon kings with one sword.
After thousands of years of war between humans and demons, countless lives have been lost, and the final decisive battle is approaching.
The coalition of human cultivators is led by Liu Han.
The wind is howling.
Lu Qingshan looked into the distance.
The vast earth.
The air was filled with the lingering smell of blood.
Unlike the detailed backgrounds of the previous two illusions, this time, there is almost no pre-plot, and it gets straight to the point.
A message suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Lead the human cultivators to defeat the demon race."
This is the method to pass this illusion.
Lu Qingshan lowered his head, the sword in his hand was gilded, and a sense of grandeur emanated from it.
This is a supreme divine sword that has the power to slay demons.
All empty swords.
With one sword, everything becomes empty.
Lu Qingshan swung his sword slightly, and infinite power was generated. Under his sword, the space became desolate and shattered.
"Such a strong power..." Lu Qingshan muttered to himself.
Deng Daishan, this is the third illusion he has experienced, and the strength of each level is stronger than the previous one.
During the Li Zhao period, he was just an ordinary swordsman.
When he met Yan Qingfeng, he was already the leader of the Lianxu Sect of the Qingyun Sect.
Now Liu Han's body possesses infinite divine power.
At this time, a neat and low vibration sound was heard.
Lu Qingshan looked into the distance.
It's the demon tribe. The demon tribe is summoning and gathering monsters, planning to launch a final attack on the human cultivators' defense line.
Of course, the human race was not willing to fall behind, and the monks were already ready to go a day ago.
"Sect Master," suddenly the Deputy Sect Master of Jianlu came up in a hurry and reported to Lu Qingshan respectfully: "The cultivators of Xuanyin Sect had a dispute with the cultivators of Fengdao Sect and Lijian Pavilion."
"What is the cause of the dispute?" Lu Qingshan frowned and asked in confusion: "The decisive battle is about to begin, why are they still thinking about fighting among themselves?"
The deputy sect leader was somewhat embarrassed and said hesitantly: "The situation is complicated, and the sect leader may need to go and take a look in person."
Lu Qingshan nodded, without hesitation, he jumped up and rushed towards the direction of the Xuanyin Sect’s headquarters.
At the same time, the news of these three sects flashed through Lu Qingshan’s mind.
Xuanyin Sect, along with Xishan Jianlu, are one of the twelve major sects and are the main sects in the war between humans and demons. Fengdao Sect and Lijian Pavilion are smaller sects with slightly weaker strength.
The Xuanyin Sect's cultivation methods tend to be evil, and all kinds of techniques require living souls to practice.
Although there is no restriction that it must be a human soul, and what the Xuanyin Sect displays to the outside world is the so-called method of refining magic with animal souls as sacrifice.
But people in the world of cultivation are well aware that the Xuanyin Sect must be doing something dirty behind the scenes, so the Xuanyin Sect has never been looked upon favorably by the general public of cultivators.
However, after the war between humans and demons broke out, the Xuanyin Sect turned to using the souls of the demons to practice magic, and gradually became more formal, even becoming one of the twelve major sects.
However, the insidious and cunning evil nature of the Xuanyin Sect's cultivators is difficult to eliminate.
The twelve major sects are high and mighty.
In this situation, unless there are special circumstances, the monks from Fengdao Sect and Lijian Pavilion should have no reason to dare to dispute with the monks from Xuanyin Sect.
Lu Qingshan sped up.
When he arrived, he found that the leader of the Xuanyin Sect was in a standoff with the leader of the Fengdao Sect and the leader of the Lijian Pavilion, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Master Liu," the Fengdao Sect Master and the Lijian Pavilion Master said respectfully when they saw Lu Qingshan coming, "Please make the decision for us."
"What's going on?" Lu Qingshan asked.
The leader of Fengdao Sect took out a token with three words on it: "First Army".
The leader of Fengdao Sect started to complain, "Sect Master Liu and Xuanyin Sect Master ignored the decisions of the major sects and handed over the responsibility of meeting the first wave of attacks against the demon race, which should have belonged to the Xuanyin Sect cultivators, to us."
The decisive battle will begin, and the first wave of collision will be the most fierce.
Therefore, in the resolution made before the meeting yesterday, the leaders of their twelve major sects had already decided that the disciples with the most advanced cultivation levels would be the first batch of cultivators to break into the formation in order to minimize the losses.
Lu Qingshan looked at the gloomy Xuanyin Sect Master with a cold gaze, and there was a hint of anger in his voice, "What does Xuanyin Sect Master say about this matter?"
"Speaking of this matter," the Xuanyin Sect Master explained calmly, "My Xuanyin Sect disciples are very strong, but it is a waste of talent to be killed in the initial confrontation. If they can keep their lives, in the subsequent battles, the role they can play will be several times higher than that of these small sects' cultivators, right?"
The Xuanyin Sect Master looked at the Fengdao Sect Master and the Lijian Pavilion Master with disdain in his eyes, "Sect Master Liu, you are right, right?"
"The battle formation was decided by us yesterday." Lu Qingshan said coldly.
"I think there is something wrong with this battle formation. Why should we, the disciples of the twelve major sects, be the ones to fight the most dangerous first wave of confrontation on behalf of these mediocre people? I disagreed with this decision at the pre-war meeting yesterday. It was you who insisted on doing so. It's none of my business what you think. Anyway, my Xuanyin Sect will not agree to it." The Xuanyin Sect Master said firmly.
He felt confident.
The decisive battle is about to begin. At this time, every bit of combat power is crucial, not to mention that their Xuanyin Sect is one of the twelve major sects.
He believed that no matter how angry Liu Han was, he would never dare to do anything to him when the overall situation was concerned.
"I don't have much patience now, Master Xuanyin, please don't make the mistake." Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed dangerously as he glanced at Master Xuanyin.
The Xuanyin Sect Master still refused to give in. "You made the decision, and you guys should carry it out. I will not let my disciples die like this."
Lu Qingshan said nothing more and slashed out with his sword.
Everything was quiet.
The leader of the Xuanyin Sect reacted immediately. Countless ghosts emerged and rushed forward ferociously, trying to block the sword.
But it was all in vain.
In an instant, everything was empty.
All the ghosts turned to ashes.
The Jiekong Sword then moved down and directly chopped down the leader of the Xuanyin Sect.
"Give it here!" Lu Qingshan said slowly in a calm tone as he looked at the Xuanyin Sect Master who got up.
The leader of Xuanyin Sect looked at Lu Qingshan with trembling body.
Liu Han is undoubtedly the number one person in the human race. Once he reveals his potential, no one can resist him.
Under Liu Han's pressure, he had no choice but to hand over the token representing the Second Army, but a very hidden gloom flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, the leader of the Xuanyin Sect made an extremely crazy decision in his heart.
Lu Qingshan threw the token of the second army to the leader of Fengdao Sect and the leader of Lijian Pavilion, and at the same time took the token of the first army from their hands.
Looking at the gloomy face of the Xuanyin Sect Master, Lu Qingshan suddenly smiled.
"Master Xuanyin, you are narrow-minded and selfish. Everyone knows you are narrow-minded. I thought you would change at this critical moment of human survival," Lu Qingshan paused and said coldly, "It is difficult to change one's nature. A selfish person like you who holds a grudge today will be a disaster sooner or later. It will be a big trouble then."
"To keep out the enemy, we must keep the country stable," Lu Qingshan clenched the Sword of Emptiness in his hand, "In order to completely prevent this from happening, I will first eliminate the internal troubles today."
After those casual words, the situation suddenly changed with the sword of Jiekong.
The Xuanyin Sect Master's expression suddenly changed.
He never expected that Lu Qingshan would be so decisive and his methods would be so cruel.
Boom boom boom!
Lu Qingshan exuded an aura as powerful as a mountain and as deep as an abyss.
The sky and the earth are empty, and all I can see is white.
Brighter white than moonlight.
That was the sword light.
The leader of Xuanyin Sect tried his best to resist.
But Lu Qingshan can block the three demon kings with one sword.
How could the leader of Xuanyin Sect resist such a person and such a sword?
The leader of Xuanyin Sect turned into nothingness and disappeared.
“Then you will lead the Xuanyin Sect monks to fight the enemy. Those who disobey will be killed!” Lu Qingshan threw the First Army token to the deputy leader of Xishan Jianlu behind him and said calmly.
The cultivator from Xuanyin Sect felt a chill in his heart, his legs trembling, and he did not dare to object.
Lu Qingshan turned and left.
…
A low but powerful horn sounded.
The decisive battle between humans and demons finally broke out.
Lu Qingshan looked into the distance at the human cultivators and demons everywhere in the sky.
The magic techniques are intertwined and the brilliance shines brightly.
Without hesitation, Lu Qingshan entered with a sword in hand, and like a dragon, he rushed towards the three demon kings of the demon clan.
The battle with the three demon kings lasted for three days and three nights.
The fight was so intense that the sky was dark and the sun and moon lost their radiance.
When Lu Qingshan swung his last sword and cut off the demon king's head, he was almost exhausted.
He heard countless cheers.
Look around.
It turned out that when he won the victory, he also crushed the morale of the demon coalition. The balance of power quickly tilted, and the human cultivator coalition also won the victory.
The remnants of the demon clan chose to surrender.
Lu Qingshan stood in the air, looking at the tens of thousands of monsters that were bowing their heads.
"Master Liu, how do we deal with these monsters?" The masters of other major sects, covered in blood, looked at Lu Qingshan with eyes full of respect.
Lu Qingshan's record of killing three demon kings alone impressed all the cultivators.
They were waiting for Lu Qingshan's decision.
Lu Qingshan closed his eyes slightly, and after a breath, he opened his eyes.
He swung his sword and everything was in vain.
Wherever the sword points.
Demon clan coalition!
"kill!"
"We have all surrendered, why are you trying to kill us all?!" The demons were panicked, angry and dissatisfied.
"Thousands of years of fighting, countless bloodshed, and deep hatred. Now you are at a disadvantage and choose to surrender," Lu Qingshan's voice was full of murderous intent, "but once your demon race accumulates enough strength, you will surely come back again, and then there will be another bloody storm."
"So, we must cut the grass at its roots to prevent future troubles!" Lu Qingshan said coldly.
The human cultivators followed Lu Qingshan's orders and swarmed forward.
In the chaos, everything suddenly became empty, all sounds disappeared, and all cultivators and demons disintegrated like bubbles.
This is a blank world.
A figure emerged.
He was dressed in black, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he had a restrained aura.
It was Liu Han.
Lu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Sect Master Liu."
"No need to be polite, it's just a residual image left behind," Liu Han said calmly, "I left this residual image only to tell you two things."
"I'd like to hear the details." Lu Qingshan said.
“First, the demon race had actually already contacted the Xuanyin Sect Master in secret, and offered the conditions to the leader of the human race, hoping that the Xuanyin Sect Master would betray the human race and help the demon race win this battle.
The Xuanyin Sect Master did not agree... but did not refuse either.
If he had not been killed at the beginning, the resentful leader of the Xuanyin Sect would have certainly betrayed the human race. With this variable, the outcome of that battle would have been unknown.
This killing is necessary and must be done.
Second, after the demon clan surrendered, I also chose to wipe them out completely, which resulted in thousands of casualties among the human race and caused a lot of resentment.
I don’t know if the final result would be better than this if I chose to accept the surrender of the demon clan.
So I am not sure whether I should kill him or not, but I still have to kill him. "
"Finally, I'll leave you with one sentence: Sword cultivators have no fear of killing. Even if they have committed sins, they can just kill them with one sword, and they can have no regrets in their conscience."
Lu Qingshan said respectfully: "I will teach you."
Liu Han smiled gently, and the afterimage gradually turned into tiny particles and dissipated.
…
On top of the mountain.
Li Zhao and Yan Qingfeng also looked at Liu Han's afterimage disappearing, as if thinking about something.
They also listened to the conversation between Liu Han and Lu Qingshan.
"People are three parts evil, and sword cultivators are three parts murderous. If you are a sword cultivator, you need to cultivate three parts of murderous aura in your heart. Too little will make your spirit insufficient, your determination will not be obvious, and it will be difficult to achieve great things. Too much will lead you astray, and you will be retaliated by your bloodlust. Over the years, countless sword cultivators have come and gone in Daishan, but Lu Qingshan has the right amount of murderous aura, just enough to cultivate this three parts." The Lord of Huangquan Prison commented.
Li Zhao and Yan Qingfeng looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Although Lu Qingshan was the first living person in Daishan, he was definitely not the first climber.
Over the countless years, countless sword cultivators and souls have come and gone from Daishan, but in the end, not one of them could satisfy the Lord of the Yellow Springs.
But no one would have thought that a human swordsman who had mistakenly entered the underworld would be the only person who successfully climbed the mountain.
"Your Excellency the Prison Master's years of troubles can finally be solved." Li Zhao and Yan Qingfeng congratulated.
The Lord of Huangquan Prison shook his head slightly. "It's not enough for him to pass your tests. He still needs to pass my last test."
"The last level?" Li Zhao and Yan Qingfeng were puzzled.
The Lord of Huangquan Prison is not a sword cultivator.
As an outsider, how do I evaluate a swordsman?
"This kid has already qualified in terms of sword cultivation heart and character," the Yellow Springs Prison Lord said slowly, "However, talent and ability are equally important in the path of sword cultivation. It is difficult for those without talent to achieve enlightenment. Therefore, my final test will be his talent in sword cultivation!"
…
The blank world gradually became colorful.
The surrounding scenery gradually appeared, and the narrow mountain road of Daishan slowly appeared at the foot of Lu Qingshan.
He looked up.
The top of the mountain, which was previously invisible, now only has this last step left.
Without any hesitation, Lu Qingshan strode forward.
