Volume 8: Demon Suppression Chapter 38: Death is the solution to a deadlock (Part 1)
"I just like your reckless attitude," the Qingge Demon General saw Lu Qingshan take the lead in launching the attack, but he didn't take it seriously. He just laughed out loud and was in a good mood. "It just so happens that I also use a sword, so I will play with you for the time being, sword cultivator!"
Qing Ge, who was confident of victory, sneered, and the dark golden secret pattern on his arm flashed with a dark luster, and then a dark long sword appeared in his hand.
Demonic soldier, "black blood".
Lu Qingshan was as fast as thunder, he had already broken through the rain curtain and rushed in front of the Qingge Demon General.
Demon General Qingge was calm and composed, wielding the sword in one hand. There were dark golden threads flowing around the black blood sword, making it look extremely extraordinary.
Qing Ge's sword skills are not as amazing as the sword skills that are close to the Tao. The emphasis is on being straightforward and opening and closing.
Facing Lu Qingshan's sword that was swung just right, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and Heixue rushed forward, ready to fight head-on with Lu Qingshan's Dragon Bird.
But what was different from what he thought was that Lu Qingshan controlled the sword with skillful force, using a little force to move a great object, like a swimming fish, and separated from his black blood as soon as it came into contact with him. He cleverly bypassed the black blood and the tip of the sword pierced his chest.
clang!
The clanging sound instantly drowned out the sound of wind and rain.
When Longque and Qingge's bodies touched each other, sparks flew and they could not move forward even an inch.
Lu Qingshan's face darkened slightly. Seeing that Qingge had reacted and was raising his sword to counterattack again, he had no choice but to quickly pass by Qingge and end this attack.
"You human sword cultivators just like these flashy things," Qing Ge looked down at his uninjured chest and smiled, "But what's the use of this?"
"This is how the sword should be played with!" As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Ge let out a sinister laugh, soared into the air, and followed Lu Qingshan's figure away.
He drew his sword again, and the dark golden threads that were originally lingering on the black blood suddenly stretched at this moment, becoming as thick as a finger, and shot obliquely towards Lu Qingshan.
Rain fell from the sky and landed on the dark golden thread, instantly cutting it in half.
Every hint is an attempt to kill.
The speed and power were so fast that Lu Qingshan couldn't help but frown.
He did not dare to take it lightly. With a thought, two streams of light suddenly emerged from his body, and a bolt of lightning and fire exploded in the sky, evaporating the nearby rainwater and breaking a vacuum path to meet the dark golden thread.
Wangchuan, peach blossom.
The dark golden threads continued to pierce through the water droplets, moving forward without any sign of stagnation.
In the rain, silk versus sword!
Wangchuan and Taohua are not in direct conflict with those flowing silks.
Facing an enemy that is far stronger than you, this behavior is not only a waste of energy, but also very unwise.
So Lu Qingshan controlled the two flying swords, using his cleverness to move them left and right in the group of flowing silk threads.
Compared with the external sword method of holding a sword, the flying sword is definitely far inferior to the latter in terms of control accuracy.
Therefore, controlling a flying sword to perform a powerful move with only a little effort is much more difficult than holding a sword. Only someone with the ultimate sword-controlling skills like Lu Qingshan can do this easily.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
All the golden threads were pushed to both sides by Lu Qingshan, and then they branched out from both sides of Lu Qingshan's body, whizzing past like bullets, sinking into the rain curtain behind him, quickly going away and disappearing.
But on this side, Qing Ge was unyielding and had black blood in his hand, ready to die.
His swordsmanship was not very advanced, or rather, he had no swordsmanship at all, but the demon clan's training system had endowed Qingge with a body that was almost flawless - not only was he resistant to blows and powerful, but he was also extremely fast.
Therefore, Qing Ge's sword was so fast that it was dazzling, like a black line, cutting through the continuous rain curtain and heading towards Lu Qingshan's head.
Strange symbols flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes, and the four dark golden lines on the origin seed in his body were already shining brightly at this time.
The magic of cause and effect: precognition.
Qing Ge showed his fierce appearance, and the sword moved in a straight line. His victory was due to its brutality and infinite power.
Although Lu Qingshan relied on his foresight to keep Qingge's every move under control, he was horrified to find that he was in a situation where he knew the situation but could not avoid it - Qingge's speed was too fast!
As a last resort, Lu Qingshan could only barely move slightly away, and the Five Elements Sword Armor appeared instantly, transforming into five layers of sword curtains to protect his body. The Dragon Bird then thrust upwards, trying to use his little strength to achieve a great effect again.
When the two swords touched, Lu Qingshan felt a huge force coming, like a huge mountain.
Four ounces can move a thousand pounds, but what if it's ten thousand pounds?
The answer is no.
The spiritual power in Lu Qingshan's body surged out continuously, and the Five Elements Sword Armor surged even more, but it was like glass meeting an iron hammer, shattering layer by layer.
Qingge might be a little lacking in brains in other aspects, but when it comes to fighting, he is not weak at all.
Having seen Lu Qingshan's cleverness once before, how could he not be prepared this time?
His response was to add another 30% of strength to make it impossible for Lu Qingshan to move it.
It's a very simple and crude method, but the effect is very obvious.
The black line formed by the black blood slashed across the side of Lu Qingshan's head at this moment - if he had not slightly moved away beforehand, the sword would have slashed his head.
Under the force of the sword's blade, a strand of hair fluttered down along with his headband, moving in the wind.
The black line continued to move forward, and finally stopped after crossing his wrist.
Lu Qingshan's sleeves were instantly torn below the black line, and blood flowed out.
Ding ding!
At this time, two more metallic sounds were heard.
It’s Wangchuan and peach blossoms!
When Qingge launched the attack, the two flying swords turned around and flew straight to Qingge's back.
But the two terrifying flying swords that were enough to scare a Void Refining cultivator were just like toys in Qing Ge's eyes, so he just used his body to resist them.
"Explode!" Lu Qingshan shouted in his heart.
The next moment, thunder roared out of nowhere. The true meaning of annihilation that had been contained in the flying sword for a long time seized upon Qingge's flaw and exploded instantly.
A mysterious force that seemed to annihilate everything emerged from the two swords, and it forcefully crushed into Qingge's body that was as hard as iron, and the tip of the sword moved forward inch by inch.
Qing Ge, who had not taken it seriously before, couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Qingshan's move was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.
"The artistic conception of the human race..." Qing Ge reacted quickly and grinned.
With his strength, he naturally wouldn't be in a panic.
His heart moved, and on the skin of his back, a winding dark golden secret pattern suddenly flashed.
Then, Lu Qingshan felt as if a force appeared out of nowhere, controlling his Wangchuan and Peach Blossom, forcing the two flying swords to retreat, and finally leaving Qingge 's body directly.
Lu Qingshan's expression changed, and he quickly used his spiritual sense to regain control of the two flying swords.
This is... the Soldier Demon 's innate magical power of "recruiting soldiers"!
Recruiting soldiers, as the name suggests, with the help of the secret patterns on his body, the Soldier Demon can control tens of thousands of soldiers. This is a natural ability that is somewhat similar to the sword-flying technique of a sword cultivator.
However, the sword cultivator's flying sword technique can only control the flying sword, while the soldier demon's "recruiting soldiers" can recruit all kinds of soldiers.
In battle, the soldier demon can often recruit monks' magic weapons by "recruiting soldiers" and then swallow them into its stomach.
This is also one of the reasons why sword cultivators can theoretically restrain soldier demons.
——The connection between a sword cultivator and his natal sword is so close that the "recruitment" of a soldier demon can often be rendered ineffective.
After breaking Lu Qingshan's offensive by "recruiting soldiers", Qing Ge smiled triumphantly at Lu Qingshan.
On his black blood sword, a few drops of scarlet blood were dripping down with the rain.
That was Lu Qingshan's blood.
A wound appeared on Lu Qingshan's wrist, and blood was flowing and falling along with the rain, indistinguishable from one another.
Qing Ge, who had been hit by two swords from Lu Qingshan, seemed to be unharmed.
This made Lu Qingshan feel helpless.
Logically speaking, no matter how strong the demon's body is, he is a swordsman famous for his attacking skills, so he should not be unable to break the defense. It's just that Qingge's realm is much higher than his.
In a head-on confrontation, the two are far apart in terms of strength.
"If I could return to Yumen Pass, exchange my military merits for spirit crystals, and advance to the Nine Flowers Realm, why would I have to do this?" Lu Qingshan gritted his teeth.
His original intention of going back to Yumen Pass to exchange spirit crystals was to encounter an ambush along the way.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan felt even more aggrieved.
Damn it…
The military achievements have not been used yet!
The person died and the money was not spent yet. How unfair is this death?
Qing Ge's eyes swept across the dragon bird in Lu Qingshan's hand, revealing an undisguised greed, "The sword is indeed good, but... the man is not so good."
In the close combat just now, he had already felt the extraordinaryness of Longque.
"A good saddle goes with a good horse, and a good sword goes with this prince." Qing Ge was not in a hurry to pursue the victory. He put his hands on the hilt of the black blood sword, stabbed the sword in the air, and said sarcastically with a curled mouth: "Come and kill me next. If you don't kill me, I will kill you."
The Demon Marshal Puqu, who was watching the battle, also chuckled and said, "No matter how good this sword is, it is still in your Highness's pocket."
The two of them burst into laughter.
…
In a corner where no one pays attention.
A figure was vague and looming, and its sight penetrated the heavy rain curtain and looked at the three people above the sky.
"The two demons are looking for him?" It was Marquis Anhai who had followed them all the way.
Marquis Anhai was somewhat confused about the situation.
A demon general, a demon commander, was so cautious, just for a fifth-level cultivator?
"It must be because he disrupted the demon clan's attack on Luoyan Pass, so the demon clan holds a grudge against him..." Marquis Anhai guessed secretly.
He looked at Lu Qingshan in the sky again , and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
The value of a fifth-level swordsman is not worth risking his life for.
Because this is very likely to get him involved as well.
Let a cultivator in the fusion stage risk his life to save a cultivator in the refining stage?
There has never been such a statement.
"But, this little guy clearly saved my life before..." This thought flashed through Marquis An Hai's mind again.
If Lu Qingshan had not slashed the sea of blood with his sword earlier, he would have been buried outside Luoyan Pass together with all the cultivators there. How could he have survived until now?
"A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. He saved my life. Am I going to ignore his life now?"
Marquis Anhai, who should have left as a matter of course, was unable to take a step. He could not help but ask himself and fell into hesitation.
…
…
Lu Qingshan suppressed the urge to use the power of mountains and seas and various explosive means. Without saying a word, he quickly moved forward again with the sword in hand.
In the wind and rain, Lu Qingshan, who had lost his hairband, had his hair disheveled and dancing wildly in the wind.
But with his handsome appearance, he doesn't look embarrassed at all, and even looks a bit free and easy.
Lu Qingshan has been waiting for an opportunity to act.
With the Puqu Demon Marshal watching on the side, simply using explosive means, even if it could give him a brief upper hand, would not have much significance.
He must wait for the most appropriate time to strike.
In this dead end, his only thought was to drag the Qingge Demon General into the water.
Even though it was difficult, he wanted to try his best.
Therefore, he was prepared to continue to be patient as long as the opportunity did not arise.
Wangchuan and Taohua followed the trembling sound and rushed out together.
On the other side, Lu Qingshan floated towards Qingge rapidly.
Seeing this, Puqu Demon Marshal frowned and couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, be careful."
Although they only fought briefly, Demon Marshal Puqu had already seen that Lu Qingshan was really as the Linghu Demon Clan said. His strength far surpassed that of ordinary Void Refining cultivators and should not be underestimated.
If His Highness Qingge had not already been a junior demon general, he would probably be a little bit afraid of this beast.
Qing Ge sneered, quickly grasped the black blood with one hand, and cut it horizontally and vertically. Four dark golden silk threads that were several times thicker than before flew up.
Two rays of light strangled Lu Qingshan, and two dark golden threads blocked Lu Qingshan's two flying swords.
The gray sky and earth were cut apart by these four faint threads.
The rain curtain was like a water curtain, which was directly cut off and only reunited after a while.
In a flash, each flying sword was wrapped in a dark golden thread, making a clanging sound.
Lu Qingshan had also collided with the two silk threads.
In response to this, he looked at it coldly, stretched out his arm and waved it, flicking the air, without even touching the two murderous threads, they actually dissipated first.
The magic of cause and effect: return to nothingness!
What Lu Qingshan cut was the invisible and formless cause and effect line in the void.
The dark golden thread did not stop Lu Qingshan's steps, but instead made the momentum he had accumulated in the process even stronger.
Then, his speed suddenly increased, and sword energy exploded on the dragon bird.
On his soul, the green snake spirit gently shook its tail.
In the sky and earth, wind and rain were blowing, and an incomparable green sword energy rolled out from the Dragon Sparrow Sword and slashed out.
The sword energy rose up layer by layer, and in an instant it turned into a green snake, full of vitality, ferocious and mysterious, biting forward.
"What is this?" Qing Ge, who was calm and composed, seemed to have recognized something. His pupils suddenly shrank as he looked at the green snake. He stood there for a moment before coming to his senses.
Then his heart skipped a beat.
In just a moment of distraction, the green snake was about to lick his face.
He could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in the green snake's sword energy. Unlike any of Lu Qingshan's previous attacks, it already possessed an unimaginable sharpness.
Even... it can rival a god!
Sizzle!
At this critical moment, a tortuous wave of light suddenly emerged, distorting the space and blocking the green snake.
With a bang.
The swimming green snake had no ability to resist under this light wave, and it disintegrated and disappeared in mid-air.
Lu Qingshan turned his head to look at the grinning Puqu Demon Marshal beside him, and finally looked at the agate eyes between his eyebrows and sighed.
The zigzag ray of light that easily annihilated his Green Snake Sword Qi was emitted by the Demon Marshal Puqu.
"I'm just a refining virtual being. One demon general's action is not enough for me. It's actually worthy for the Demon Marshal to take action himself. You really think highly of me!" Lu Qingshan laughed and sighed in his heart at the same time, feeling a little regretful.
There aren't many opportunities for Qingge to be distracted like he was just now.
If it weren't for the Puqu Demon Marshal who stopped him, he would have already used the cover of the Green Snake Sword Qi, the power of the mountains and seas plus the power of Zhentian to explode in an instant, and launched a series of attacks on Qing Ge.
It’s a pity that everything ended before it even began.
"Why did you attack? It's just a sword energy, how can I not stop it?" Hearing Lu Qingshan's sarcasm, Qing Ge felt very embarrassed and a little angry, and couldn't help but blame the Puqu Demon Marshal out loud.
"I am eager to protect His Highness..." The corner of Puqu Demon Marshal's eyes twitched, but he did not retort in the end. He suppressed the violence in his heart and said in a hoarse voice.
"You guy..." Qing Ge had turned around and looked at Lu Qingshan.
His expression was filled with fear and suspicion, and he muttered to himself, "Why did the Green Snake move just now look so similar to...?"
As the descendant of the Demon Lord Xuan Blade, Qing Ge knew much more than other demons.
Therefore, Demon Marshal Puqu only thought that the power of Lu Qingshan's Green Snake Sword Qi was extremely extraordinary, but Qingge saw more.
It was these things that made him feel uncertain and uncertain.
Just when the scene was a little weird, a deafening roar suddenly sounded without any warning, and even Lu Qingshan was unable to react in time.
The expression of the Puqu Demon Marshal changed instantly and he lowered his head abruptly.
Behind the loud noise, there was a beam of light, whistling from the earth straight up into the sky.
In the rain, at this moment, a huge tide appeared.
The tide rolled up and headed straight for Qingge.
It is the Anhai Dao area of Anhai Hou.
After lying dormant for a long time, Marquis Anhai finally took action!
