2.

Hongchen's tricks are messy, and what is also messy is the dustless heart.

Originally, according to what he had calculated in his heart, as long as he let Hongchen make the first move, he could take the opportunity to observe the opponent's swordsmanship, and by the way, find out the details of the opponent's cultivation;

But what made him feel annoyed at the moment was that the first move of this woman in a red dress who appeared out of nowhere was to shoot blindly, and when the tip of the sword stabbed out, it was estimated that even she didn't know where she would end up stabbing it. Just pointed at it crookedly, don't say it's a shaped trick, I'm afraid it's not even the most basic starting style, in that case, what kind of tricks are you talking about?!

It is not the first time in Wuchen's life that he has faced a master of swordsmanship, but he has never felt as powerless as he does now. Ordinary sword masters, if they grab an opportunity like the current one to make the first move, they will naturally strive to win people with momentum first, and when they shoot, they will either be dazzled by the sword shadow, or the sword qi with momentum like a rainbow. But this is the first time he has seen such a casual finger.

"What's the matter?, Dao Chief, don't you accept the offer yet!" Hongchen's lips hooked slightly, he chuckled, the lotus step moved slightly, the red skirt floated over and a piece of red glow, and his body quickly rushed forward three steps, his wrist flipped, and the sword qi on Hongchen's sword lingered, and it looked vaguely like a "boundless falling wood" starting move.

Wuchen was overjoyed in his heart, and said in his heart: "You still made a move!" This "Boundless Falling Wood" is not a powerful sword move, mainly because the flying sword shadows disturb the opponent's sight, and its flaws are also obvious. Wuchen secretly lucked his sword qi, and was about to wait for Hongchen to make a move, and then break the enemy with one blow.

Unexpectedly, before this thought could be turned, Hongchen over there had already made a move, but it was not the expected "boundless falling wood", but a sword pointed downward obliquely, and the sword was crooked, and it looked as awkward as it was.

Rao is dustless has practiced in the world for thousands of years, and his cultivation and concentration are excellent, and he can achieve "Mount Tai collapses in front of him and his face does not change", and he can't help but be a little unbreathable at this moment. After all, Taishan collapsed in front of him, and that was also Taishan's business, as long as he didn't press himself, there was nothing to panic about, but compared with herself, this girl's cultivation was obviously between the two of them, but she seemed to be pretending to be stupid and stunned, and her moves were not in order, and he couldn't relax his vigilance, worried that she would be killed by a fierce sword aura in the next moment.

This kind of irritation is tantamount to defusing a bomb - although you have enough experience, you still can't guarantee that the bomb in front of you will blow you up before you dismantle it.

Wuchen still made a move in the end, Yun Mengyao had just taken the news out, and the people in Ethereal City should get the news soon, so Lin Xiao would definitely be more protected, and it would probably be even more difficult to kill him again. Looking at Hongchen's posture, if he doesn't make a move, she will keep going on like this. At that moment, he grabbed the dustless sword, turned back to Yuxizi and said, "You take all the disciples to intercept the gods, and this person will be handed over to me!"

Yuxizi responded: "Obey." Then he shouted: "Follow me!" After walking out for two or three steps, he felt that his surroundings were empty, so he hurriedly turned his head to take a look, only to find that several disciples were standing in place in a daze, their eyes staring at Hongchen, and they didn't dare to move.

Wuchen frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, he knew that it was Hongchen's intimidation that made everyone feel palpitations, and only by entangling her first could the disciples rest assured that they would chase people, so he broke off and said: "Follow the master to chase people!" As he spoke, he danced the Wuchen sword, and waved it towards Hongchen head-on. Hongchen dodged and dodged, raised his long sword and returned a move, but this time it was no longer a random finger, but a serious move to block, the blade of the sword resisted the dustless sword tip impartially, and the latter came first, sealing the back hand of this move "Moon White Wind Clear".

Wuchen was stunned and praised: "Okay!" Just by blocking with this hand, you can see that Hongchen's swordsmanship is already extraordinary. His way was blocked, and he didn't panic, and he was about to use his backhand swordsmanship evolved according to Penglai's swordsmanship, but he saw Hongchen leaning over and swaying quickly to the side, passing a red shadow. Wuchen couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't know what kind of famous hall he was going to do, and the next second he saw Hongchen swinging the Hongchen sword, bringing up a sword rainbow, and slashing at Yuxizi, who was running towards the interior of Shengya Hospital with Penglai's disciples.

Wuchen saw that Hongchen's sword was violent, and hurriedly reminded: "Yuxi, watch out for you!"

Yuxizi was moving forward, and suddenly heard Wuchen's warning, and then felt a fierce wind coming from behind. Yuxizi is also the head of the faction, so he will not mess up like other disciples, so he calmed his mind at the moment, turned sideways to avoid the sword, and at the same time pulled out the sword and slashed towards Hongchen's figure.

With a "bang", Yu Xizi's face turned pale, the long sword in his hand was shattered into two, the tiger's mouth was broken, and blood flowed, and at the same time, a red ancient sword was across his neck. But this moment did not stay for too long, the next second Hongchen withdrew his long sword and swept to the side; he saw that Wuchen had already flown to arrive, and said: "Be merciful!" He took out his sword while speaking, stabbing a sword when he said the word "hand", stabbing a sword when saying the word "down", stabbing a sword when saying the word "staying", and stabbing another sword when he said the last word "love" - he said the words "mercy to his subordinates" at the same time, he had stabbed four swords in a row.

These four swords seem to be four different moves, but in fact, they are just Wuchen dismantling a move "Qiang Flute and Resentful Willow", changing it, and stabbing it out into four swords. These four swords are swift and incoherent, and they are extremely changeable when they stab, and when they make a move, they make a total of four swords, stabbing at Hongchen's shoulders and ribs respectively.

Wuchen's sword was swift, but Hongchen's body was also extremely fast, a red shadow flashed back and forth in front of the tip of the sword, and after these four swords were stabbed, they all passed back and forth, stabbing eight holes in her clothes, but they didn't hurt the slightest skin. The onlookers couldn't help but be shocked, seeing the wonder, fastness, and strength of the four sword moves made by Wuchen, all of them were the demeanor of first-rate masters, but she flashed one by one under the shroud of the tip of the sword, and it can be said that her grasp of Wuchen's moves can be regarded as extremely accurate.

"I said, stay for me, no one is allowed to leave!" Hongchen snorted, dodged and retreated beyond Zhang Xu, with a flip of his wrist, he inserted the long sword in his hand into the ground, and with the sword trick in the other hand, he made a mark in mid-air, and then slapped his palm on the hilt of the sword.

The ground under the feet of Penglai suddenly fluctuated, Wuchen's face changed, and he said secretly: "Not good!" The other hand whisked the dust out, and the dust whiskers smashed on the ground, swinging a wave of true qi, and the luck pushed himself out several steps. I saw that a red magic circle lit up under the feet of Yu Xizi and the others, and then one after another the red shadow sword qi rose up, enveloping them in it.

Wuchen was shocked in his heart: "Could this be...... The 'Heavenly Seal' formed by the condensation of sword qi?!" At this time, some things became clear at once: "It turns out that you are the incarnation of the sword spirit, no wonder you can reach such a height in your sword path cultivation!" Wuchen said in a deep voice.

Yuxizi was trapped in the formation, and was about to try to break the formation, but when he heard this, he immediately froze in place, and said in disbelief: "Sword ...... Sword Spirit Incarnation?!"

This is telling: the process of casting a sword to being used by a person is simple, but the difficulty of a sword from casting to generating a sword spirit is more than double. In order for a dead thing to generate a spirit body with the thinking of a living thing, in addition to the accumulation of thousands of years, it also needs the absorption and aggregation of the aura of heaven and earth...... All in all, a long sword can form a sword spirit, and the cultivation of this sword itself is already higher than that of a person.

Wuchen is a master who has broken through the Ten Heavens in cultivation, and knows that the sword spirit is actually just an ethereal spirit, this kind of spirit will have its own thoughts, and when they have the ability to think for the first time, they will be faced with a choice - whether to continue to hide in the sword in the form of a "spirit" and wait for others to drive them, or to incarnate into a human form and have their own power to act.

And the sword spirit incarnated into a human being, not to be incarnate, that difficulty is no less than the heavenly tribulation that cultivators need to go through when they break through the ten heavens. If you succeed, you will turn into a human being, and you will be like the red dust under your eyes; if you fail, you will be ruined in a flash, and the sword will be broken and scattered, and you will never exist.

After the sword spirit is incarnated as a human, thousands of years of cultivation will be consumed due to changes in the body, which is probably the cultivation of the cultivator in the eighth or ninth heavens. The Sword Spirit can continue to cultivate on this basis, and it is also expected to break through to the realm of the Ten Heavens, comparable to the Unknowable, and there is no need to go through the Second Heavenly Tribulation. However, the cultivation of sword spirits is several times more difficult than that of cultivators, and most of the sword spirits that incarnate as human beings are basically fixed there and cannot go any further. Since ancient times, in the cultivation realm, except for the ancestor sword "Broken Life", no other sword spirit has broken through to the Ten Heavens.

In fact, most sword spirits will not choose to incarnate into a human form, because in addition to the spiritual power being bound by the physical body, there is another point - the human body that the sword spirit incarnates into is not permanent, but a certain shape that needs to be maintained by consuming its own cultivation power. After a long time for the spirit body to transform in the outside world, its strength will inevitably dry up, and at this time, it will need to return to the sword to recuperate and recover, if the time drags on for too long, it will easily destroy the spirit of the spirit sword - this is the reason why the cultivation of the sword spirit is much more difficult than that of normal cultivators.

Wuchen probably figured out Hongchen's skills in his heart, the female sword spirit in front of him went from the domineering sword qi to the weird body style, as well as her dual control of the sword path and the rune path, all kinds of signs showed that her cultivation had reached the height of the cultivator above the Nine Heavens. Although he is a master of the Ten Heavens, he wants to fight quickly, but he is afraid that he is still unable to do it.

Wuchen danced the dustless sword in his hand, and the tricks on the sword did not stop, and at the same time, his mind turned sharply: for the sake of today, it is to drag the battle situation into a situation favorable to him. Hongchen not only has to deal with sword moves, but also has to be distracted to exert spiritual power to maintain the operation of the "Heavenly Seal", which is bound to cause great loss to his true qi. The sword spirit can't transform in the outside world for too long, otherwise it will damage the corpse, and as long as you drag the pace of the battle, you can slowly drag her down.

Thinking of this, the tricks on the dustless sword gradually slowed down, he was originally as fast as lightning when he came out of the sword, and he could disassemble a move into a four-sword combo, at this time the rhythm of the attack slowed down significantly, but it was like the Wudang faction's unique stunt "Tai Chi Swordsmanship" in general, with defense as the attack, the long sword was dragged and stroked, which seemed to be loose and loose, but the sword wind protected the body, and the water did not leak, even if Hongchen's sword move could not be attacked, it would also bring the edge of the sword to the other party inch by inch.

Hongchen attacked two moves in a row, and found that Wuchen had danced the long sword into a ball of silver light, which was extremely tightly protected, although it couldn't cause any damage to her, but it also forced her to be unable to do it. She was delicate, and immediately thought that Wuchen wanted to delay the battle, and couldn't help but sneer secretly in her heart: "Do you want to drag down the rhythm to take advantage of the danger of others? It's a pity—auntie, I can stay here with you for as long as you want!"

There was nothing wrong with Wuchen's understanding of the sword spirit, but what he didn't know was that the red dust in front of him was an exception!

Thousands of years ago, when Hongchen followed Lin Xiao's side, he was indeed just an ordinary sword spirit, and he would often have a lack of spiritual power, so at the beginning, Hongchen would only appear when he was eating, playing, or in danger, and he hid in the sword to sleep the rest of the time.

After Hongchen launched the "Sword Death" to destroy it, Lin Xiao brought the broken sword into the Sword Sect to recast it and stored it in the Ethereal City Sealed Sword Tower. Under the cultivation of the "Haoran Sword Intent" in the tower, Hongchen spent thousands of years refining the second spirit body, which itself was not comparable to ordinary sword spirits. Moreover, in order to make her appear as soon as possible, Ye Wuxin launched a formation to cut off the connection between her and the corpse and forcibly summoned her, although this damaged her cultivation, but it inadvertently contributed to another thing - Hongchen and the corpse were separated from each other, but instead formed a connection with the body, that is to say, as long as the spirit sword body was in hand, she could get the power of the sword spirit, and there was no need to return to the spirit body to replenish the spiritual power.

Such an abnormal situation, I am afraid that in this cultivation realm for thousands of years, Hongchen is still the first case. Wuchen is a few times more experience, and he would not have thought that Ye Wuxin's hasty move would cause such an unexpected connection. Right now, the Hongchen Spirit Sword is in hand, and the power of the Sword Spirit is flowing into the body, so why talk about exhaustion? Wuchen's wishful thinking of wanting to delay the battle situation can be regarded as a failure.

But having said that, Wuchen is a cut above Hongchen in terms of cultivation, and if he actively delays the defense like this, it will be extremely difficult for Hongchen to tear a hole and attack it. Although the power of her sword spirit is not exhausted, the strength of her physical body is also limited, and if she really wants to consume it in the late stage, she will still fall behind. Hongchen's heart moved, and he waved his hand to make two moves in a row, "Breeze on the River" and "West Building on the Moon", and forced him two steps away from the dustless defensive circle, but his body swept back sharply, and a sword pointed at Yuxizi and the others who were trapped in the "Heavenly Seal".

The oppressive force in the formation suddenly strengthened, and this oppressive force was transformed by the sword qi, with a sharp tearing feeling, pressing on the body as if to scrape off the skin and flesh on the body inch by inch. Although this kind of oppression will not have much impact on people like Yuxizi, who are cultivators, at most they will sweat profusely, but this is not the case for other Penglai disciples - a few who are okay with their cultivation can still grit their teeth and hold on, and the other ones who are worse are rolling on the ground in pain, and some people faint directly.

Hongchen's move, the enemy must be saved, if Wuchen Wuzi only cares about delaying the defense and does not stop it, then if the pressure continues, Penglai and his party will only have Yuxizi left. There was nothing to be done, so he had to jump forward, and a sword "Immortal Guidance" hit the opponent's chest, and this sword resumed its fierce offensive, and it was no longer loose and crumbling.

Hongchen dodged away, and at the same time swung his sword to remove the coercion in the "Heavenly Seal", and said with a sneer on his face: "Penglai Realm?
