Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 199

At this moment, the fireworks in the sky were like countless flowers, blooming around the moon, and the thin clouds and mist were also dyed with colorful colors; then they turned into bright raindrops, falling from the sky, towards the net. Fly to where the monk is.

At the same time, the "Fengfeng Huolian" cast by Monk Jingru also exploded.

The heat wave roiled and the flames danced wildly.

The water in the Luo River evaporated into a hazy mist, which blurred Gu Xu's vision; the fiery flames were like a giant golden snake, rushing towards Gu Xu with its teeth and claws.

The audience in the audience held their breath in unison.

Whether it is a layman or an insider, they can feel at this moment that the fireworks in the sky and the sea of ​​fire on the ground are extremely powerful spells—ordinary people may be burned to ashes in an instant as long as they touch a little bit.

However, before they could react, the figures of Gu Xu and Monk Jing Ru disappeared in place at the same time.

Gu Xu's movement method is naturally "meteor walks the moon".

He is like a ghost, flickering, shuttling between raging fires.

Facing the monstrous fire, he knew that he could not bear it head-on, and there was no time to cast complicated spells, so he immediately chose to use body skills to dodge.

In addition, he also took out more than 200 "Xuanbing Talismans" from "Xianyunju", and threw them at the oncoming flames.

"Xuanbing Talisman" is a very basic talisman.

It can turn into frost, which lowers the temperature; if it touches an enemy, it can also restrain his actions for a short time.

After Gu Xu's improvement, the effect of these "Xuan Ice Talismans" in his hands lasted longer than the original version, and the temperature was much lower.

Although in front of the "Fengfeng Huolian" who is as clean as a monk, the frost produced by this "Xuanbing Talisman" is not enough to look at.

But since there are too many, it is enough to ensure that Gu Xu will not be injured by the high temperature during the operation.

With his spiritual perception far exceeding that of ordinary people, Gu Xu was able to detect that the "Fengfeng Huolian" performed by the monk Jingru was still not proficient enough, and there were still many flaws.

After all, most people in the world don't have Gu Xu's amazing comprehension.

To be able to learn a high-grade spell is already considered a genius.

For monks like Jingru, it is undoubtedly very difficult to perform the two moves of "King Kong Indestructible Magical Art" and "Fenfeng Huolian", one attack and one defense, with completely different artistic conceptions.

Therefore, Gu Xu, under the protection of the "Xuanbing Talisman", was looking for the "Fengfeng Huolian"'s flaws, while walking flexibly through the cracks of the raging fire.

He knew that as long as he survived for just a few minutes, the "Fengfeng Huolian" would naturally dissipate.

…………

But Monk Jingru is not as relaxed as Gu Xu.

He performed the ancestral "Dragon Flying Step" of Lingshan Temple, and walked nimbly, trying to avoid the gorgeous fireworks falling from the sky.

But he found that these fireworks have been firmly locked on him - no matter where he escapes, the fireworks always follow behind him, and he can't get rid of them.

Monk Jingru suddenly wanted to swear a bad word.

But he remembered the precepts of "no lying" and "no harsh words" in Lingshan Temple, and forcefully suppressed the urge to curse.

It's just that the use of high-grade spells consumes a lot of real energy, and now he can no longer use the "King Kong Indestructible Body" to resist Gu Xu's menacing attack.

But he was unwilling to admit defeat easily, and lost the face of Lingshan Temple and Master.

Therefore, he could only hold the wooden stick tightly in his hand, and lay it across in front of him, trying to use his natal objects and pure true energy to build an invisible barrier.

In an instant, the fireworks collided heavily with the real yuan barrier.

Brilliant sparks burst out in all directions, making crackling noises, like fiery trees and silver flowers, gorgeous and dazzling.

Under the violent impact, blood oozed from the corner of Jingru Monk's mouth.

He was knocked into the air several meters high, flew a long distance, and then fell heavily into the smoking Luo River.

At this time, he was very fortunate that he was a monk practicing martial arts, and what he was practicing was a technique that could enhance his physique, which was much thicker than ordinary people.

Otherwise, no matter it is the huge impact force or the almost boiling water of the Luo River, they can kill him instantly.

"I can't imagine that this Gu Xu is just a third-level cultivator... No wonder Master keeps mentioning his name recently," Monk Jing Ru thought silently while swimming towards the shore in a dog-paddle position, "This kind of person can no longer simply be called a 'genius'. He should be called a 'monster'."

…………

Monk Jingru left the range of the ring and fell into the river, which undoubtedly declared his failure.

But Gu Xu still stood firmly on the high platform.

Under his calm gaze, the surrounding flames were gradually extinguished—as if the courtiers had retired respectfully in front of the king after the early court.

The people on both sides of the Luo River were still immersed in the fierce battle just now, and it took a long time before they came back to their senses.

Cheers, applause, applause, and the loud beating of gongs and drums sounded belatedly.

Only this time, there was no more pleasant singing from the lamp building.

…………

The singers waited silently for the literati in the capital to present new lyrics to celebrate Gu Xu's victory in another round of battle.

But after waiting for a long time, they could not find any literati.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Shouldn't the wonderful battle just now be an excellent subject?"

"Don't they all want to seize this great opportunity to be famous?"

…………

A young official in casual clothes was silently watching the battle by the river.

This person is Yu Changqing, who was compiled by the Hanlin of the Great Qi Dynasty and the number one scholar in the most recent imperial examination.

He was very impressed by the duel just now.

With paper and charcoal in his hand, he thought about writing another poem and praising the talented young man on the stage.

However, as soon as he wrote a few words, he frowned, then shook his head, and tore off the paper in his hand neatly.

The song "Sapphire Case" written by Gu Xu with fireworks came to his mind and lingered.

The concept of this word is exquisite, and the language is gorgeous; every word is used just right, outlining the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival with dazzling lanterns and melodious music.

As for Xiayu, it is even more subtle and euphemistic, which is endlessly memorable.

Yu Changqing felt that even if he racked his brains, used up all the ink in his stomach, and repeatedly sculpted the words, he would not be able to write a work of this level.

Under such circumstances, if you send your work to the singers of Denglou, you will only be ridiculed by everyone.

"Unexpectedly, a monk who is only 17 years old and whose main job is to kill ghosts has surpassed those of us literati who have been studying poetry and books and studying articles day and night for many years!"

"What a disgrace!"

Yu Changqing sighed and looked at Gu Xu with admiration.

…………

For this battle, different people have different focus.

For example, Jia Xiuguang, the Fuxiu of Longmen Academy, had a particularly gloomy face.

Ever since he was defeated by Shi Xiaohan with the "Overlord's Sword Technique", he has been in a depressed mood.

However, the "Xuanbing Talisman" that Gu Xu used just now caught his attention.

"How could the effect of his 'Xuan Ice Talisman' last for such a long time?" Jia Xiuguang was dumbfounded, "If I remember correctly, the 'Xuan Ice Talisman' drawn by the teacher is not so powerful!"

"The most important thing is, how can he carry more than 200 'Xuanbing Talismans' with him?"

Jia Xiuguang didn't dare to imagine, if all kinds of talismans on Gu Xu's body were added up, how many would there be.

　Thanks to Brilliant Constellation for Shi Xiaohan's 300 reward, thanks to Little Fish Fairy for his 200 reward, and thanks to book friend 160611020527556 ​​for his 100 reward!
