Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Naturally, Gu Xu couldn't get out the "Lu Yin" thing.

Therefore, the moment he heard this voice, he held the "Astrolabe" tightly without hesitation, and ran away.

"There is a problem with this person's identity! Catch him quickly!"

Seeing Gu Xu fleeing against orders, Que Juchang, a thousand households in Liaozhou Prefecture, yelled loudly at his subordinates, and flew into the air to chase Gu Xu.

At the same time, in his sleeve, a cylindrical object made of brass appeared out of thin air.

Que Juchang is a powerful fifth-level monk and a master at using hidden weapons.

He was born in the "Moon Shadow Hall", which is the best at cultivating killers in Hedong Province. Later, he was recruited by the government and became an official of the Exorcism Department.

The cylinder in his sleeve is called "Sleeve Arrow".

It puts the hidden arrows in a special arrow box, with short and light shafts and heavy arrowheads.As long as the mechanism is touched with real yuan, the hidden arrow will be ejected from the small hole on the top of the cylinder.

It starts quickly and has a long range, making it hard to guard against.

Que Juchang also smeared poison on the tip of the dark arrow, once it came into contact with the target, it would make the target incapacitated.

He raised his arm and aimed the small hole of the quiver at Gu Xu who was fleeing ahead.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The hidden arrows flew towards Gu Xu continuously like a torrential rain.

Gu Xu has long been aware of the danger behind him.

He frowned slightly, and with his keen thinking, he calculated the trajectory of the arrow flying in the back, and then used his body skills to dodge.

In an instant, more than ten hidden arrows passed by him, but they failed to hurt him at all.

Of course Que Juchang would not let Gu Xu escape this disaster easily.

With a thought in his mind, the hidden arrows in the air turned around one after another, and pointed their blades at Gu Xu again.

"It's really troublesome." Gu Xu muttered in his heart.

As his eyes quietly turned into indigo blue, in the air around him, suddenly there were faint black thin lines, like ripples in a lake.

He distorted the nearby space with the authority of "Qian Kun".

The dark arrows changed direction again and flew towards the ground, but before landing, they were all annihilated in the black space gap.

Seeing this weird scene, Que Juchang frowned.

Of course he knew that these thin black lines were cracks in space.It's just that he never expected that a mere monk in the fourth realm would have such profound attainments in the law of space.

This means that many of the hidden weapons he has mastered are difficult to use when dealing with Gu Xu.

However, Que Juchang was far from the only one who rounded up Gu Xu.

When Gu Xu dodged Que Juchang's hidden weapon, the branches of trees around him suddenly grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

These branches were entangled and woven into a huge cage, trapping Gu Xu inside.

Gu Xu cast "Qian Kun" again, trying to teleport away from this cage in a short distance.

But maybe it's because the area of ​​this forest is too vast.

After he escaped from one cage, he entered a new one.

All the trees seemed to be monsters with teeth and claws, like an octopus waving its tentacles, or an insect wriggling its mouthparts, trying to swallow Gu Xu into its stomach for digestion and absorption.

"This forest is under my control," a hoarse voice came from not far away, "You can't escape."

Gu Xu raised his head and saw a short and sturdy middle-aged man, holding a rattan cane, floating above the forest.

At the end of his cane, the green light flickered on and off.

Because when Gu Xu was an official in the Daqi court, he had flipped through the files of the Exorcism Department, and with his photographic memory, kept everyone's information in his heart.

So he quickly recognized that the person in front of him was Shangwei Qianhu from Fenzhou Prefecture.He is a fifth-level monk who has practiced the top-grade kung fu method "Hui Mu Jing", and is good at manipulating plants.

"Since I can't escape this cage, I'll just tear it down." Gu Xu thought to himself.

He flicked his sleeves lightly, and more than twenty "True Flame Talismans" flew out from "Xianyunju", turning the forest into a sea of ​​flames.

But after a while, when the flames were extinguished, the surrounding trees were safe and sound, with no signs of being burned.

Branches were still stretched, restricting his movement.

"As expected of a master of high-grade exercises," he glanced at Shang Wei, who was holding a cane, and thought silently, "Sure enough, it's not that easy to deal with."

As a last resort, he could only spend a little more real energy to cast "Firefly Flame" to burn the branches of the trees around him that bound him.

However, the officials of the Great Qi Dynasty were not fighting him one-on-one.

When he was busy dealing with Shang Wei's spell, a heavy meteor hammer suddenly flew straight towards his head.

The meteor hammer is in the shape of a perfect circle, with several inch-long iron nails on it, with the heads of the nails pointing forward, they are extremely sharp.

Gu Xu was startled, and immediately relied on his body's instinctive reaction to bend down and lower his head, avoiding the fatal blow.

The owner of the meteor hammer is obviously very good at hiding his aura.

Even though Gu Xu had amazing spiritual perception, he didn't notice the sudden and terrifying attack in advance.

It is conceivable that if his reaction was a little slower and he was hit in the head by the meteor hammer, then his skull would be smashed instantly and his brains would be scattered everywhere.

"The Great Qi court really thinks highly of me," he couldn't help complaining silently, "It sent three extraordinary fifth-level monks to deal with me, a weak, pitiful, and helpless fourth-level monk."

But Gu Xu still underestimated how much the Daqi court attached importance to him.

Just as the meteor hammer flew away, another halberd stabbed straight at his chest.

The speed of the halberd is faster than the meteor hammer.

Even if Gu Xu devoted all his attention to it, he still couldn't see its moving track clearly.

He had to use "Time" to slow down the flow of time a little bit, and barely avoided its attack.

At this time, he noticed that the person holding the halberd was a tall and clean woman.

She looked cold, with no emotion on her face.

And behind her, countless streaks of blue-purple lightning intertwined together, merging into an astonishing dharma image.

"The commander-in-chief of Hedong Province, Zhu Qiuyi."

Gu Xu quickly recognized her identity.

According to the information files he had flipped through before, he knew that this unattractive woman had a cultivation level close to the peak of the sixth realm, and he also knew her fighting style——

That is one word, "fast".

The supernatural power she awakened when she broke through the third realm was called "Wind Chasing", which could instantly increase her movement speed, reaction speed, and attack speed by two to ten times.

In terms of visual effects, it is very similar to Gu Xu's "Time" authority.

The difference is that Gu Xu's "time" acts on the law of time, changing the speed of time, and has no effect on Gu Xu himself.

The function of "Chasing the Wind" is to stimulate the potential of a person's body and soul, to speed up his own speed, but it does not affect the passage of time in the surrounding environment.

Zhu Qiuyi, who has mastered "Chasing the Wind", is undoubtedly a terrifying assassin.She can approach the target, complete the assassination, and leave quietly in an instant.

In many cases, before the target had time to see her appearance clearly, his head had already dropped to the ground.

For most of the cultivators in the world who lack the means to save their lives, especially the talisman masters, array masters, Gu masters, Feng Shui masters, etc. who are not good at close combat, it can definitely be called a terrible nightmare.

Moreover, she not only has the supernatural power of "Chasing the Wind", but also has the appearance of "Thunder".

"Faxiang" is the manifestation of "Tao".

After the Great Wilderness cultivator knocks open the Fengdu Gate and advances to the sixth realm, his understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth will be presented in the form of visions, and will provide him with significant buffs during battle or practice.

And after breaking through the seventh realm, the "Dharma Aspect" will re-integrate into the body of the monk, helping the monk complete the transformation of "transcendence into holiness".

That is to say, the saints and strong men do not have a "dharma appearance" - of course, it can also be understood that the "dharma appearance" of the saints and strong men is their own physical body.

If a monk has been using ready-made top-grade exercises and practicing with the help of the "Tao" comprehended by the predecessors, he may be able to quickly advance to the sixth realm and condense the "Dharma Appearance".

But his "Dharma appearance" will never be able to integrate with himself; his cultivation will also forever stagnate at the sixth level, unable to take another step forward.

After all, his "Tao" is borrowed, not his own.

Because of this, Gu Xu has been insisting on continuously improving the middle-grade exercises of "Red Flame True Jue", instead of practicing high-grade exercises like "Lie Xing Jue".

Zhu Qiuyi's choice was exactly the opposite.

After solving crimes and doing meritorious service many times, she exchanged a large amount of meritorious service for a high-grade exercise-"Wind and Thunder Induction" from the Exorcist Division.

After that, her entry speed was beyond imagination. In her early 30s, she had knocked on the "Fengdu Gate", condensed her "Faxiang", and was appointed by the imperial court as the fourth-rank general soldier in charge of the Exorcism Department. affairs.

Her "Lightning Appearance" can not only add lightning attributes to her true essence, further speeding up her attack speed, but also have a deterrent effect on the minds of surrounding enemies, making their reactions and actions slower.

If it wasn't for Gu Xu who often carved all kinds of spiritual defense talismans in his sea of ​​consciousness, he might not even be able to make the "time" come out, and he would be pierced by the halberd.

"A formidable enemy," he remarked.

Facing a martial artist like Zhu Qiuyi who came and went without a trace and moved as fast as lightning, many of his powerful methods, such as "Jinghong Pen" and "Star Array", were useless.

Because it was impossible for Zhu Qiuyi to give him the time to recite the mantra and brew his true energy.

In addition, he needs to turn on "Time" all the time so that he can see clearly the direction of Zhu Qiuyi's halberd thrust and respond in time.

He clearly felt that the true essence in his body was rapidly passing away.

In less than sixty breaths, his true energy will be completely exhausted, and he will no longer be able to resist.

"Am I going to be planted here today?"

He thought solemnly while dodging the oncoming halberd and meteor hammer.

He only has the fourth level of cultivation.

Even though he is very talented and bears the karma of "Emperor Ziwei", he can't defeat a group of enemies in the fifth and sixth realms with one enemy.

He could only barely hold on, and then tried to escape.

But his current true energy is not enough to support him to build a space channel, nor can he use "Qian Kun" to teleport multiple times in a row.

His flying speed was also inferior to Zhu Qiuyi's.

Although he had a "stand-in bracelet" on his body, it could only resist a fatal attack for him, and could not send him to a safe place.

He seems to have fallen into a slow death situation.

…………

While Gu Xu was fighting alone with one enemy and many troops, the several officials who were in charge of arresting him were also communicating secretly through voice transmission through their spiritual sense.

"This kid is really difficult to deal with."

"His speed is hardly slower than Master Zhu. Could it be that he has also awakened some kind of supernatural power related to speed?"

"Is he really only in the fourth realm? Why do I feel that we, a group of monks in the fifth and sixth realms, are being teased by him alone?"

"Que Juchang, is this the 'Sleeve Arrow' you've always been proud of? Why didn't any of the arrows hit the target?"

"Oh, Pu Shilong, you're not much better. You've been throwing meteor hammers there, just like a street performer."

"..."

…………

Time passed by minute by minute.

Gu Xu's true energy was almost exhausted, and he could no longer maintain "time".

Perhaps it was because of the overdraft of true energy that he felt a little dizzy in the head, and his eyes were also a little dark.

But Zhu Qiuyi's halberd was still fierce and swift as lightning.

The moment Gu Xu terminated "Time", the long halberd silently pierced his throat from the side.

Gu Xu leaned over to dodge, but the halberd still slashed across his side face, drawing a bloodstain, and then lifted his mask away.

Zhu Qiuyi quickly noticed that Gu Xu's reaction speed and movement speed were much slower than before, and his face looked pale and weak.

"Maybe, he just used some kind of secret method to activate the body's potential," she secretly speculated, "but now, the effect of the secret method is over."

Her moves immediately became more decisive.

She used her body skills, walked around Gu Xu's back, and swung her halberd towards the back of his head.

The halberd pierced Gu Xu's head in an instant.

But Zhu Qiuyi quickly felt that what the halberd stabbed was not a flesh and blood body, but a thin piece of paper.

Gu Xu used the paper figurine as a substitute to escape the fatal blow again.

Taking advantage of Zhu Qiuyi's attention being attracted by the paper figurine, he had already fled to a place more than ten meters away.

Only this time, he dodged Zhu Qiuyi's halberd, but he didn't dodge Jinyang Qianhu Pu Shilong's meteor hammer.

The big iron ball embedded with iron nails hit his back heavily, scratched his robe, cut his skin, and the wound was bleeding profusely.

Gu Xu frowned in pain, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

But his enemies gave him no time to breathe.

At the moment when he was in a trance due to the injury, Que Juchang's "sleeve arrow" pierced his left shoulder, and the poison quickly spread to his whole body.

His body stiffened immediately, as if he had turned into wood, and he couldn't stop moving.

He went into free fall, plummeting straight from the sky.

He tried to recite the "Purification Mantra" silently to relieve the negative effects of poison on himself.

But at this moment, Zhu Qiuyi, the commander in chief of Hedong, rushed towards him like lightning again.

Although the imperial court's order reads "to capture Gu Xu, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies".

But ever since Gu Xu escaped from the "Liuhe Sealing Immortal Formation" in Luojing City, the Daqi officials have basically reached a consensus - a dead Gu Xu is safer than a living one.

Because this kid has too many tricks to guard against.

If you are not careful, it is possible for him to escape.

Therefore, even though Gu Xu was seriously injured and lost his fighting power, Zhu Qiuyi still gathered all his true energy on the halberd, ready to pierce his throat with the force of thunder, and let him die thoroughly.
