Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 264 The Power of "Star Array"

Gu Xu stood on the arena of "The Realm of Discourse on Dao", looking at the opponent code-named "Golden Crow" in front of him, without any expression on his face.

When he saw the phantom of "Sun Chaser" in the sea, he easily recognized the origin of the other party.

"According to the consistent selection style of the 'Shenjiying', this person should be the master of Penglai Island or a disciple of a senior elder," Gu Xu said in his heart, "I'm talking to the monk of Lingshan Temple now. , Penglai Island's proud disciples have all had the experience of fighting each other. When I accept the challenge of Jiange Su Xiao at the "Luoshui Conference", I will be able to successfully collect the achievement of "fighting with the disciples of the three major sects of the Great Qi Dynasty" .”

The opponent's "Day Gun" is coming in menacingly.

If Gu Xu hadn't mastered the "Star Array", then without the "Shocking Pen", he might have to expend a lot of effort and expose some cards in order to barely block this thunderous shot.

But with the "Star Array" spell, it's different.

The slightly dimmer star that Gu Xu summoned was called "Jie Shen Xing", also known as "Xiao Tianliang Xing", which turned evil into good luck, and could save disasters and avert disasters.

According to astrology, it has very little energy, is not mainstream, and is not aggressive.But it will play a magical rescue role at critical moments, turning the situation around and turning despair into hope.

It is just right to use it to defuse the deadly marksmanship of the "Golden Crow".

And the brighter star is a malevolent star named "Ping Yang Xing".

It is also known as "Sheep Blade Star". It is the most destructive and destructive star among the six evil stars.

"The 'Sun-chasing Spear' of this student from Penglai Island doesn't seem to be good enough." At the same time, Gu Xu also discovered the problems in the opponent's marksmanship. Top-grade martial arts requires the bravery of one being equal to ten and indomitable progress, in order to fully display its true meaning of Dao.

"But the 'Golden Crow' is obviously not confident enough to be decisive. When he swings the gun, he still hesitates, which makes his spear intent lack momentum and charm.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to knock him back so easily."

…………

After Jiang Haoyang stabilized his figure, he gritted his teeth and launched another attack with lightning speed.

This time, he no longer used the "Day-by-Sun Marksmanship", but switched to Penglai Island's basic gun style-"Tide Thirteen Guns".

Because he also realized that his "Sun-sun Gun" had some flaws—but he didn't look for problems on himself, but simply attributed the reason to the inability to carry natal weapons in the "Land of Lun Dao".

As we all know, top-rank martial arts consume much more real energy than middle-rank martial arts.

If the upper-rank martial art cannot exert its full power, then sometimes it is more cost-effective to use the middle-rank martial art.

At the same time, Jiang Haoyang did not forget to activate his supernatural power - "disaster".

Its function is a bit similar to Shi Xiaohan's "Glutton Seal", it can greatly increase the attack power of spells or martial arts within a period of time, usually by two to eight times.

The difference is that "Catastrophe" does not need to rely on food to superimpose imprints.

But its triggering is a matter of luck.

When Jiang Haoyang first entered the third realm, there was about a 50.00% probability of triggering the "disaster".Now that he has broken through the fourth realm, this probability has been increased to around 60.00%.

"Taishang Haotian, Emperor Ziwei, please protect me, the 'disaster' must be triggered..."

While praying silently in his heart, he held the end of the spear with both hands, and swept from left to right at the waist and abdomen of the opposite "Suzaku".

Although "Tide Thirteen Spears" is only a middle-grade martial art, after being perfected by the elders of Penglai Island, it has a complete structure and is extremely mature.Through the repeated use of basic movements such as stabbing, picking, splitting, stabbing, and sweeping, it forms a continuous and unstoppable gun posture, just like the endless waves in the sea.

What Jiang Haoyang used at this time was the "sweeping gun method" in "Tide Thirteen Guns".

His long spear spun vigorously with his arm, which can be described as "like a wind blowing, attacking like a tiger".

Judging from his past experience, in the face of this "gun-sweeping technique", "Suzaku" would either use spells to block it, or take a step back to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.

But no matter what choice "Suzaku" makes, his next "spear attack" will hit the opponent's chest or the vital parts of the lower abdomen under the attack power of the "disaster" supernatural power.

Then as long as he continues to use the "spear twisting method" and rotate the head of the gun vigorously, he can use the gun intent to strangle the opponent's internal organs from the inside out, causing fatal injuries, and declaring victory in this duel.

This is a combo that Jiang Haoyang has mastered very skillfully.He has practiced it thousands of times in the martial arts training ground on Penglai Island, and he can perform it without any obstacles with his eyes closed.It looks fierce on the surface, but it is actually sinister - even a monk with a slightly higher level of cultivation than Jiang Haoyang may be caught if he is not careful.

Gu Xu didn't stand still.

With a thought in his mind, the two stars around him immediately disappeared.

Then he waved his hand, and summoned two other stars from the boundless darkness - "Pegasus Star" and "Earth Sky Star".

"Tianma", as the name suggests, is the "horse in the sky", which is noble, and also has attributes such as activity, running, agility, and acuity.

After summoning the "Pegasus Star", Gu Xu's perception ability will become very sharp, and his actions will become more agile.

This allowed him to detect the approaching danger more timely than before, and use his agility to dodge it.

And the "Earth Sky Star" is also a malevolent star, which belongs to Yin Fire, and it is dominated by empty space and disasters.

Its characteristic is that "in case of evil, it will be fierce".

If the opponent's attack is soft and slow, then "Earth and Sky Star" will be lukewarm and will not be able to exert any power; but if the opponent's attack is vicious, fierce and violent, then "Earth and Sky Star" will be stimulated very Strong potential, launched a counterattack with a more violent momentum.

All this happened in the blink of an eye.

The moment the spear approached Gu Xu, its tip lit up with red and black light, and black ripples appeared around it, like the surging waves in the sea.

This is a sign of the successful triggering of the "disaster" magical power.

Jiang Haoyang couldn't help showing joy.

He felt that this "disaster" had increased the attack power of his gun by almost eight times - this was the best effect that "disaster" could achieve.

You know, in general, it can only be improved by two to four times.

Only when Jiang Haoyang occasionally broke out in character can he reach the upper limit of eight times.

"It seems that God still takes care of me." Jiang Haoyang thought to himself.

At this moment, he felt that even if the other party mastered Lingshan Temple's unique defensive skill "Vajra Indestructibility Magical Skill", it would never be possible to withstand this fatal blow from the grace of God.

But the reaction of "Suzaku" was faster than expected.

He didn't dodge or block, but like a ghost, he took a few steps towards his left front—that is, Jiang Haoyang's right hand—at an unreasonable speed.

This happened to be the position that the "Tide Thirteen Spears" could not cover, and it was also the flaw that the head of Penglai Island had repeatedly reminded his disciples to focus on.

However, because this flaw only appears for a short moment, very few people can really take advantage of it.

As time passed, Jiang Haoyang became somewhat negligent towards it.

"This 'Suzaku'... how can he know so much about 'Tidal Thirteen Spears'?" At this moment, a look of surprise flashed in Jiang Haoyang's eyes.

His mind froze for a moment.

Fortunately, he has already practiced "Tide Thirteen Spears" by heart.

Under the command of muscle memory, he immediately withdrew his spear, ready to use the "spear method" and "spear method", and then launched a new round of attacks after pushing the opponent away.

But his movements were still a beat slow after all.

The "Earth Sky Star" summoned by Gu Xu was overwhelming, like a meteorite falling from the sky, and smashed towards his head fiercely.

Its fierce and domineering meaning is no less than that of Jiang Haoyang's explosive shot just now.

Jiang Haoyang originally wanted to use the "barrel spear method" in "Tide Thirteen Spears" to resist.

But the "Earth Sky Star" exploded in an instant, bursting out with dazzling fire and terrifying energy, completely engulfing Jiang Haoyang in it.

In the next second, the words "Suzaku, win" appeared again in the darkness.

Jiang Haoyang sat on the futon holding the "Shenji Token" and opened his eyes with lingering fear.

"This 'Land of Discussion' is really unreasonable," he commented in his heart, "I thought I could regain some confidence in today's duel, but it has matched me with such a powerful The opponent...does it want to completely break my Dao Heart?"

He shook his head, with a bitter smile on his face, he just felt that compared with the real arrogances of the Da Qi Dynasty, his strength was still too weak.

In the depths of Jiang Haoyang's heart, there has been a nightmare buried deep all the time.

It was a woman dressed in red and holding a spear, acting flamboyantly and unscrupulously.

But at this moment, another shadow named "Suzaku" appeared in his heart.

Although he still doesn't know the identity of "Suzaku" in reality.

But the other party's figure surrounded by stars may become an insurmountable mountain on his path of practice for a period of time in the future.

…………

At the same time, Gu Xu also returned to the real world.

He no longer paid attention to the changes in the points ranking of "Lun Dao Realm" like before.

After all, the current "Land of Discourse on Dao" is a free laboratory of Taoism for him.

The monks in it will basically choose to keep their hands, and will not fully show their true strength.The rewards of "Land of Discourses" are only settled once a quarter.So this ranking is temporarily meaningless to Gu Xu.

During the last settlement of "Lun Dao Realm", Gu Xu got two bottles of "Du Er Dan".

In the past, he might be very rare for this reward.

But now, he has a teaching position in Longmen Academy and has his own pill workshop.For him, these two bottles of "Du Erdan" are more symbolic than practical.

He put away the "Shenji Token", stood up from the bamboo mat, stretched himself, and then sat down beside the desk.

The golden sunlight passed through the carved window lattice and fell on his back, making him feel warm.

Then with a thought, he took out the notebook from "Xianyunju", and quickly wrote on it:

"Experiment time: the first day of February in the 24th year of Tianxing;

"Experimental content: test the power of 'Bright Candle' and 'Star Array';
"'Bright Candle' test result: Because the opponent was instantly killed at the moment of 'Bright Candle', it is impossible to accurately estimate the upper limit of the power of 'Bright Candle';

"'Star Array' test results: 'Jie Shen Star' and 'Earth Sky Star' are used to deal with enemies who are good at reckless tactics, and they have miraculous effects;
"..."

After the recording was completed, Gu Xu put away his notebook and checked his elixir inventory in "Xianyunju" by the way.

"The elixir has been consumed so fast in the past few days," he thought silently, "Maybe I should go to the academy to claim my benefits for this month."

…………

Regardless of whether Shi Xiaohan is in a good or bad mood, he never treats himself badly when it comes to diet.

In the early morning of this day, she ordered two pancakes, a bowl of fish porridge, and a bowl of wontons at the yamen kitchen, filling her stomach to a fullness.

Then she packed her luggage, took a carriage, and headed for Longmen Academy.

Beside Shi Xiaohan, sat a quiet girl.

She was also wearing the gray and white gown of the academy, pale complexion, tall and thin, with delicate features.As the carriage drove, she kept looking down at her toes, looking a little cautious.

The girl's name is Tao Xi, she is 19 years old, majoring in talisman, and she is another young monk sent by the Exorcism Department to study at Longmen Academy.

Shi Xiaohan has always been lively.

The overly quiet atmosphere in the carriage made her feel a little uncomfortable.

So she took the initiative to find a topic in front of Tao Xi: "Have you ever heard that the food in the dining hall of Longmen Academy is very rich?"

Tao Xi raised his head slightly, and looked at her a little at a loss: "No...no."

Shi Xiaohan thought for a while, and then said: "I heard that there are dragon beard noodles, salted duck, tiger skin meat..."

She repeated what Gu Xu said that day, completely unaware that she was forcing an awkward chat.

"This, so many."

When Tao Xi saw that Xiaohan was elated and talking about a lot of food names, he didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, but he was worried that if he kept silent, he would make the other party unhappy, so he used a mosquito-like voice to embarrass himself Responded.

"Yes, there are indeed a lot," Shi Xiaohan continued to chat awkwardly, "Today at noon, I will invite you to have a big meal there!"

According to Shi Xiaohan's lack of social experience, she feels that there are nothing more than two ways to get closer to each other-the first is "treating guests to dinner", and the second is "doing tasks together".
