Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 346 Seven Styles of Burning Heaven: "Sun" and "Salary"

The battle continues.

Gu Xu didn't know the messy thoughts in Shi Xiaohan's mind.

He stared closely at Hu Yun, who was standing with a knife in front of him, with a dignified expression.

The physical strength of "Ghost Attendant" is really extraordinary.

If it were an ordinary monk, under such a violent impact, even if he could barely survive, his skin would be torn and his orifices would bleed.

But Hu Yun looked unharmed.

His muscles and bones seemed to be harder than the bluestone bricks on the ground.

"It's a bit tricky." Gu Xu used "Qian Kun" again while thinking.

"Qian Kun" is the power to manipulate space.

Owning it, Gu Xu can tear apart space, build passages, and teleport like a sage with only the cultivation of the fourth realm.

According to the book, in the gaps in space, there is a terrifying space-time turbulence, which can easily smash powerful monks into pieces.

"It may be difficult for me to directly break through the defense of Hu Yun's physical body with magic," Gu Xu thought, "but I can tear apart the space where he is, and use the power of space turbulence to deal with him. "

With the rapid consumption of true energy in his body, Gu Xu's eyes turned indigo blue again, and at the same time, countless gray-black thin lines appeared in the air, like ripples on the surface of a calm lake.

Compared with Zhao Yan's Muhuo Spear, these black lines are much inferior in terms of light and shadow effects, and in terms of momentum. You must observe carefully to find their existence.

But the moment they appeared, Hu Yun instinctively felt a little nervous.

He used his body skills and quickly backed away.

His intuition told him that if he was touched by these cobweb-like thin threads, his strong body as a "ghost attendant" would also be easily cut.

Zhao Yan couldn't help showing a strange look on her face.

Because she clearly saw that where the black thin line passed, whether it was a thick brick wall or a branch of a tree, they were all cut open neatly, revealing a smooth section.

The so-called "cutting iron like mud" is nothing more than that.

"This should be a new trick he mastered after breaking through!" Zhao Yan thought silently.

She was only fortunate that Gu Xu didn't use this trick to deal with her in the "Tianlong Secret Realm" earlier, otherwise she would have dealt with it even more embarrassingly.

Hu Yun's dodge was obviously expected by Gu Xu.

He was not in a hurry, his eyes moved slowly along the route Hu Yun avoided.

Under the traction of his will, the thin black threads spread rapidly in all directions, weaving into a giant net—and Hu Yun seemed to have turned into an insect, fleeing up and down between the insect nets.

"'Ghost attendants' have weaknesses," Gu Xu thought to himself while manipulating the cracks in the space like a painting. The body of ordinary monks is much stronger.

"But because they are controlled by the Mangshan Ghost King and have lost their independent consciousness, they don't have the ability to learn and comprehend the 'Tao'—they can't advance to a higher realm, nor can they decipher other people's 'Tao'.

"For example, Hu Yun, although he retained his former 'Dharma Body', but in the face of my 'Qian Kun' authority, he was unable to suppress and decipher it from the rule level, so he could only avoid it or carry it hard.

"This may be my chance to beat him."

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yan beside him, and asked, "Miss Zhao, can I borrow your true energy?"

"Lend my real yuan?" Zhao Yan was a little surprised.

She had learned in the book that some evil methods can forcibly extract other people's true essence and use it for herself.

However, like Gu Xu, it was the first time Zhao Yan had seen him politely ask others to "borrow" his true energy.

While continuing to manipulate the space crack, Gu Xu explained to Zhao Yan through sound transmission with his spiritual sense that he made some small changes to the "Invite God Mantra", which can change the object of "borrowing power" from the gods in the sky to other people. The monk—as long as the monk nodded in agreement when he said the incantation.

"Of course, if you don't trust me, you can also choose to refuse," Gu Xu added, "After all, after lending your true essence, you may lose your fighting power for a while."

Zhao Yan pursed her lips slightly, lost in thought.

According to her past style of doing things, she has always been obsessed with firmly grasping the outcome in her own hands-to use Gu Xu's previous life's words, she would rather lose standing up than be a bastard who wins lying down and completely lose hope. entrusted to others.

But she also has self-knowledge - in the face of a "ghost attendant" with the power of the sixth level, she may be able to fight well, but she lacks the key means to win.

As an out-and-out martial artist, most of Zhao Yan's moves are to defeat the enemy with force.Even if it is the technique of attacking at the level of the soul, it relies on absolute power to suppress others.

To put it nicely, it is called "upright"; to put it bluntly, it is called "simple and rude".

Because of this, in the "Tianlong Secret Realm" where her cultivation was suppressed, she would suffer repeatedly under Gu Xu's fancy talisman spells and insidious and cunning tricks.

And now, she could also feel that her own absolute strength was not enough to break Hu Yun's defense.

"Maybe he has a solution?" She glanced at Gu Xu next to him, noticed his calm and confident eyes, and couldn't help guessing in her heart, "It's just that he is limited by his cultivation, so he can't show it for the time being?"

As for what Gu Xu said, "losing combat power for a period of time", Zhao Yan is actually not very worried.

Although she doesn't have Chu Fengge's "wild grass" supernatural power, there are still a few precious pills in her storage magic weapon, which can help her recover her true energy quickly, and can save lives at critical moments.

So she pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "You...you have been kind to me. Of course I can trust you."

Zhao Yan is not used to expressing emotions such as "gratitude" or "trust" directly.

So after she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked to the other side calmly, restraining all expressions on her face.

After getting her consent, Gu Xu didn't delay any longer, and immediately recited the adapted "Invite God Mantra" very quickly: "The spark burns the rivers and seas, and the light appears to shine on the sky; the golden phoenix runs like a cloud Arrows, the radiance of the scorching sun is like a wheel; a long journey of incense stretches out, and flying clouds and horses come down; I beg Miss Zhao of Youzhou, to kill evil spirits and unrighteous gods. The magic soldiers are as urgent as laws."

Zhao Yan frowned while listening to him reciting the mantra.

She never expected that the solemn and solemn "Invite God's Curse" to appear in Gu Xu's mouth at this moment would turn out to be so embarrassing and embarrassing.

Especially the phrase "Please Miss Zhao from Youzhou", which Gu Xu said solemnly, made her expression a little more complicated.

"It seems that the head of the Exorcism Department doesn't have much respect for the gods above the nine heavens." She commented silently.

At this time, she felt that a spiritual force belonging to Gu Xu penetrated her skin and flesh, penetrated into her sea of ​​consciousness, and told her the request of "borrowing true energy".

With a thought in mind, Zhao Yan nodded in agreement.

Although she complained about this spell in her heart, she didn't hesitate at all in actual actions.

In an instant, she felt that there seemed to be an invisible bond between herself and Gu Xu, and then the true energy in her body poured out like a flood that broke a bank.

When the meridians were empty and all the true essence was pumped out, an unprecedented sense of emptiness hit her whole body.

Zhao Yan is not used to this feeling of weakness.

This made her feel like she had turned back into an untrained mortal—without the power to control her own destiny, and had to rely on the protection of others in order to survive in this dangerous world.

So she immediately took out the elixir to restore her true essence and stuffed it into her mouth.

At the same time, Gu Xu could also clearly feel that a scorching hot current surged into his body, instantly filling his meridians, making him feel unprecedentedly powerful.

He once borrowed Ma Qin's real energy and Chu Fengge's real energy with the "God Invite Curse".

But their true energy is not very smooth to use, it's a bit awkward, a bit sluggish, like adding cooking oil to a car's gas tank.

But this time it's different——

Perhaps it is due to the attributes of the cultivation method.

Zhao Yan's true essence has a very high degree of compatibility with him, as if it is his own true essence.

This made Gu Xu couldn't help sighing in his heart, if "power bank" can also be of high quality, then the young woman beside him must be the most high-end one.

It's just that due to the tense battle situation, Gu Xu was temporarily unable to concentrate on thinking about what happened.

At this moment, the contents of the next two pages of "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" appeared in his mind.

The third form of the "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" is called "Sui"; the fourth form is called "Salary".

The description in the book is as obscure and unclear as ever.

Even though Gu Xu's understanding is amazing, after mastering the "Bright Candle", his learning speed of this spell has stagnated again.

"Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is indeed the most difficult high-grade spell to learn in the Daqi Exorcism Division!
But now, when he heard the legend of the Northland "Vulcan" stealing the tinder, when he obtained the "Returning Lu" rune in the lava cave of the "Longevity Cult", when he saw the cracked "Hui Lu" rune in the royal treasury, Flint", when he saw Zhao Yan unfolding the bright and dazzling wings of the fire phoenix, when he improved the "Red Flame True Art" again and again...he gradually had a clear understanding in his heart.

The third page of "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" is an extremely abstract pattern.

On the pitch-black background, there are countless faint and irregular gray-white lines, like ghosts in the dark night, giving people a feeling of dizziness and heart palpitations.

Only in the corner of the screen, there is a fuzzy orange-red halo.

This halo is hidden very well and is not conspicuous at first glance, but Gu Xu understands that it is the key to comprehend this spell.

"'Flint' is a tool for making fire," Gu Xu thought to himself, "an ancient book says, 'Golden flint makes fire from the sun. Wooden flint drills fire'."

"According to the legends in the northern region, before the fire, the human race was in a state of unrest; after the fire, the human race finally had the power to protect themselves, established their own homeland, and continued to multiply and grow.

"'Sui', that is, 'hope', is the "one" from zero to one. With it, everything behind comes."

As he thought about it, his eyes gradually changed from indigo to pitch black, like a night without stars.

But it wasn't just the color of his pupils that changed.

And the color of the sky above.

At this moment, both Shi Xiaohan on his back and Zhao Yan beside him were surprised to find that the sky above the alley had changed from a leaden gray with billowing clouds to a deep jet black.

The alley was suddenly dark.

Like after the sun was swallowed by a tengu, the world fell into an endless night.

Suddenly, there were two "chacha" sounds in the darkness.

It was the sound of drilling wood to make fire.

Immediately afterwards, an orange-red light appeared in the field of vision of everyone present.

The light was very faint and inconspicuous, as if a gust of wind could easily blow it out.

But it stays on persistently, revealing its own existence in the dark.

Where the light source is located is the position of Hu Yun's heart.

At first, when the cobweb-like cracks in space disappeared, Hu Yun was slightly relieved, thinking that Gu Xu's true energy was exhausted and he would not be able to maintain this powerful spell for a long time.

But soon he noticed the fire in his chest.

It was just a small spark at first.

However, under the control of Gu Xu's thoughts, it burned more intensely, became brighter, and the temperature rose sharply, and Hu Yun was soon wrapped in a robe of flames.

This is the power of "sun".

Sows a seed within an enemy, igniting it from the inside out.

Its power lies in its ability to ignore the enemy's external defenses and directly deal huge damage to the enemy from the inside.

Dahuang's body refining spells are rare.And most of them focus on training flesh and blood, skin, and bones, and very few of them are aimed at internal organs.

Only after becoming a saint and reshaping the body can the body be strengthened in all directions.

Even though the body of the "ghost attendant" is strong, it is still much inferior to the real strong saint.

It is perfect to use "Sui" to deal with Hu Yun.

Coupled with Zhao Yan's awakened bloodline, which is powerful enough to rival the monks of the sixth realm, Gu Xu's "Seven Burning Styles" possessed unprecedented power.

Under the scorching fire, Hu Yun's body quickly became scorched black, with irregular cracks appearing, like solidified volcanic rocks in the cave.

"What kind of spell is this move of yours?" Zhao Yan beside him couldn't help asking.

Hu Yun's body of "Ghost Attendant" couldn't even do anything to a single shot of her pouring all her strength, but under Gu Xu's unprecedented spell, it burned and disintegrated quickly.

This made her both surprised and curious.

"The third form of the 'Fen Tian Seven Forms'." Gu Xu replied.

"It's the 'Burning Heaven Seven Styles'," Zhao Yan murmured, "No wonder it's so powerful."

Shi Xiaohan was obviously much calmer.

On the one hand, it is because she is an idiot in spells, and she has no concept of the difficulty and weight of "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" in her heart; Unbelievable things happened one after another.

In the next few seconds, Hu Yun desperately mobilized all his strength to extinguish the raging fire from the inside out.

But "Fentian Seven Styles" is after all a spell that involves rules and contains the true meaning of Dao.

It can only be suppressed from the level of Taoism, and it is almost impossible to crack it by violent methods.

And the law is the weakness of "Ghost Attendant".

Therefore, Hu Yun could only let his body be burned and eaten away by the fire bit by bit, and he could do nothing about it.

Seeing that he was about to be burned to ashes.

At this moment, thick black smoke suddenly rose from Hu Yun's incomplete body, covering the entire alley.

The black smoke seemed to have the power of healing. It extinguished the fire on his body, causing him to shed his skin like a boa constrictor. The scorched skin and flesh quickly fell off, and then new muscles, bones, and skin grew.

Even his clothes, which had been burnt beyond recognition, returned to their original state in an instant, and the bright and coquettish pink silk flower was pinned neatly on his chest.

Both Gu Xu and Zhao Yan smelled a familiar smell from the black smoke.

"Mangshan Ghost King!" They glanced at each other and verified their guesses from each other's eyes.

In the battle just now, they only cared about dealing with Hu Yun, but ignored a problem——

Hu Yun is not fighting alone!
As the "ghost attendant" of the Mangshan Ghost King, Hu Yun has an inseparable connection with Mangshan Ghost King's body and other "ghost attendants".

Hu Yun, who has the strength of the sixth realm, can be regarded as the number one existence among the "ghost servants". The Mangshan Ghost King will definitely not sit back and watch him be wiped out by two young monks across the border.

In addition, the ghost king of Mangshan coveted Shi Xiaohan's "demon god body".

Then it is not an unexpected thing that its body soul descended on Hu Yun's body.

No, wait!
This should not be the real soul of the Mangshan Ghost King!

Gu Xu frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

The billowing black smoke is really majestic, but the coercion it brings to Gu Xu is far inferior to that of Bai Chen who just revealed his real body in "Tianlong Secret Realm".

"The main body of the Mangshan Ghost King should still be busy with its own major affairs," Gu Xu boldly guessed, "At present, it can only release a little power to help Hu Yun restore his body, but it is impossible to directly descend in his real body and let the Hu Yun directly displayed his strength above that of a saint.

"I cooperate with Zhao Yan. If there is no accident, we should still be able to solve him."

Thus, Gu Xu concentrated his mind and began to try to perform the fourth form of "Seven Burning Heavens"——

"salary".

Salary, 荛 also.

Grass of instant fire.

On the fourth page of the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" booklet, there are countless chaotic, thick or thin black lines drawn.And at the top of these lines, there is another eye-catching orange halo.

Also extremely abstract.

Gu Xu could guess that it was a pile of firewood, but he couldn't think of any deeper meaning.

But today, seeing the cracked "Flint", seeing the incomplete "Astrolabe", seeing Zhao Yan, and seeing himself, he finally suddenly realized.

If we say "sui", it is a thing that makes fire, and it represents "hope".

Then "salary" is the carrier of fire, which symbolizes "inheritance", which is the inheritance of blood, ideas, and Taoism from generation to generation.

Just like Vulcan was struck to death by lightning, but the fire he stole remained in the world, dispelling the darkness and driving away the ghosts;
Just like Chiyangzi, although he died, his way survived through "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" and reappeared in the world in the hands of Gu Xu;
……

Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Xu's mind, but his gaze was as calm as ever, and he did not hesitate to cast spells.

At this moment, the ruined walls, broken bricks and tiles in all directions, as well as the scarlet blood on the ground, all became his firewood.

The flames on it are dense, just like the red clouds in the sky, bright and dazzling.

The key to the formula "salary" lies in the connection——

Build it, cut it.

It can also be understood that there is a special inheritance relationship between the Mangshan Ghost King and its "ghost attendants".

What Gu Xu has to do now is to cut off the bond between them, so that the power of Mangshan Ghost King cannot support Hu Yun.
