Chapter 529: One year to go
"Senior Brother Zhang Sheng, is it your turn to be on duty today?"
"Hmm."
"It's hard work, with Senior Brother Zhang Sheng out of the horse, everyone can be quieter in the past two days."
Zhang Sheng frowned slightly: "The demon clan is treacherous and changeable, even if the senior brother is on duty, he has told everyone not to relax their vigilance, you ......"
"I know, I know, Senior Brother Zhang Sheng is so long-winded."
The petite He Yue grimaced at Zhang Sheng and happily ran away, letting go of the futon in the room. After Zhang Sheng entered the house, he didn't say much, sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and rested. A moment later, a half-virtual and half-real flying sword jumped out from the center of his eyebrows, and the sword light shone brightly.
There is also a villain standing on top of this flying sword, whose facial features are the same as Zhang Sheng's own, but the size is compressed to about seven inches, which is Zhang Sheng's original god. It is not the ability of Jindan Zhenren to control the flying sword by releasing the Yuan Shen, but the love sword monk is different. I saw Zhang Sheng's Yuan Shen stepping on the blade with his bare feet, and the soles of his feet and the blade were almost integrated, which was a complete combination of the Yuan Shen and the flying sword. If it weren't for that, the sword of Jindan Zhenren was incomparably sharp, even if it was just the sword intent, it could sharpen iron like clay, and with Zhang Sheng's ability, he would not be able to independently pin the released Yuan Shen on the flying sword.
The sword flew upwards as soon as it left its body, and it flashed away on the roof. For Zhang Sheng, the rest of the work has just begun.
After leaving the room, the flying sword appeared in a turbid black water, which was the blessed spring water outside the Dragon Palace that had been soaked in the black tide. Today's Fuquan has been polluted by the Kuroshio Tide for two years, and the once clear spring water has become highly toxic to the living. Two years ago, just one bowl of such poisonous water could turn the body of a golden generation from beginning to end. As for soaking the Yuanshen Flying Sword in poisonous water, it is the way to die.
But now it is not what it used to be, in two years, the golden generation has been reborn, and a large number of Jindan real people have emerged, although the texture of Jindan is worrisome, but after all, it is Jindan, after all, it is the golden generation. And for two years I have been drinking gutter oil processed with Kuroshio water day and night, and I have become somewhat resistant to this force.
So they also began to fight back. Being suppressed in the Dragon Palace by the black tide of the demon clan is not a long-term solution after all, and there is still a year to go, and everyone will be ready to break through. At that time, the seventy-five Jindan monks in the Dragon Palace will form a seventy-two earthly evil array, and then Ouyang Shang, Wang Lu and one of the most outstanding disciples will form a three-talent array to dominate the overall situation. Therefore, there was a training period of more than a year before that, and the Spirit Sword Monks had to start taking the initiative to attack, relying on the crumbling Dragon Palace Great Array, going deep into the black water, and expanding their territory.
Of course, there are only a few people who are qualified to expand the territory, and the task of most Spirit Sword Cultivators is to support the Dragon Palace Great Array. In the past year, the large array left by the Fuquan Dragon Jiao has become more and more full of holes, not only the demon king, but also the ghosts and spirits have begun to infiltrate the Dragon Palace.
The so-called ghost spirit refers to the undead in the black tide. In the past year or so, undead spirits have begun to appear in the completely dead black tide, just like the skeleton zombies that Wang Lu had first seen at the foot of the West Mountain. This means that the Kuroshio released by the Demon King has begun to fully evolve, and it also means that the Spirit Sword Monks must be extra careful to survive the remaining less than a year.
The seventy-two Earth Demon Great Array and the Three Talent Sword Formation both launched at the same time, such a grand strategy was not a small fight, and any mistake in the middle would make the whole plan go down the drain. Therefore, for more than two years, Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu can be regarded as cautious, making every effort to ensure the safety of everyone's life - otherwise, they don't have to waste their precious time and energy on tinkering with details, more than seventy people in the Dragon Palace, what if two or three die casually? The Kuroshio Crisis is a big crisis that caused the entire army of the Spirit Sword Sect to be wiped out on the real historical line, and it is impossible to expect a person to survive the catastrophe without dying.
But now, it is true that no one should die, and if one dies, there is no way to talk about the strategy of two formations, especially in the past two years, everyone is working hard for this goal, and it is difficult to modify the plan temporarily. They had to go all the way until they ......
When!
A crisp crashing sound interrupted Zhang Sheng's thoughts. Concentrating on the senses, it turned out to be a fully armored undead warrior, holding a heavy hammer, just striking with his flying sword, and was shocked into the water and flew back.
But...... Shocking rather than destroying? Zhang Sheng couldn't help but be surprised.
Ever since he entered the black water with the Genshin Imperial Sword under the leadership of his senior brother, he has fought with the Kuroshio undead a lot of times, and he has never been defeated by the withering and decaying, and he has never had an opponent who can't take a move.
Is it the Kuroshio undead who have evolved again? Or did they deliberately stay to let me get used to the intensity?
The Black Tide has appeared for two years, and its true power is naturally not something that can be galloped by just one Zhang Sheng, but it is close to the Dragon Palace Great Array, and the repulsion suffered is too strong, coupled with the storage of Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang, so that the most powerful undead are always reluctant to shoot head-on. Most of the people wandering around the Dragon Palace are miscellaneous fish without sanity, which can give Zhang Sheng a practice.
But now it seems that there is an elite mixed in with the miscellaneous fish.
Zhang Sheng adjusted his rhythm, not thinking about the meaning of this for the time being, but focusing on the battle, he is a sword cultivator, a sword cultivator whose strength and potential can rank among the top three among the disciples of Lingjian Mountain, and fighting is his vocation. As for complicated matters, let's go back to Senior Brother Ming and let him think about it.
Zhang Sheng's strength is indeed extremely strong, even if it is just the Yuan Shen controlling the Void Sword, its power is far superior to the miscellaneous soldiers in the Black Tide, the strength and defense of the heavy armor undead are extremely strong, but the reaction is far less than that, after three or two moves, Zhang Sheng hit a flaw, and one move runs straight through the forehead.
After cleaning up this elite undead, Zhang Sheng also felt a little tired, his out-of-body spirit could not last, firstly, the rapid progress in the past two years was completely based on the cultivation of seedlings, and the realm of mana went up, and the cultivation of the primordial spirit did not keep up, and secondly, it was ...... The out-of-body spirit is not a realm that Jin Dan Zhenren can reach, thanks to the fact that the love sword technique he cultivated is close to the immortal level, plus some special reasons, he has today's divine effect. At this time, Zhang Sheng had been fighting for about one meal in the Black Tide, and the power of the Yuan Shen had consumed more than seventy percent, and it was time for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.
However, just when he had the idea of retreating, suddenly the light on the flying sword flashed and trembled slightly. Zhang Sheng was immediately alert, and with the Yuan Shen sense, sure enough, several heavily armored undead began to approach not far away.
Zhang Sheng is a sword cultivator who is warlike, but he doesn't want to fight at this time, even if he is full of primordial spirits, he will be cautious when he sees this strange situation, if something is abnormal, he is a demon, with his current strength, he is not qualified to kill demons and eliminate demons.
However, when he wanted to retreat, the retreat was broken, and two shadowless and invisible undead condensed an entity behind him, forming a flanking attack with the heavily armored undead approaching in front of him.
Zhang Sheng's heart sank even more, this ambush array ...... Apparently it has been planned for a long time. And behind it, it's obviously the Demon King who is operating.
The key to the matter is not these elite miscellaneous soldiers, but until now, the senior brothers have not come forward...... Most of them were blinded by the Kuroshio undead in some special way. And then set a trap against yourself.
It's really not easy to deceive the perception of those two people, so they are also very particular about the objects they shoot. Zhang Sheng was the key figure in the double formation, and his importance was even higher than that of the rest of the disciples, because people such as Yang Fei and Caixia were only important characters in the Seventy-two Earth Demon Great Array, but Zhang Sheng was an important candidate for the only remaining seat in the Sancai Sword Formation!
To put it cruelly, if Yang Fei and the others die, with the methods of the senior brothers, they may not be able to find a replacement, at least Zhang Sheng knows that the Kunshan ancient sword in Wang Lu's hand is extraordinary, the sword spirit can already exist independently, and the strength is not bad, and there is no problem in using it as a Jindan disciple at a critical moment.
But there are only three candidates at most who can step on the sword formation of heaven, earth and man, and there are only three candidates at most, one Zhang Sheng, one Zhou Ming, and one Fei Ying...... In addition, those old powerhouses in the golden generation, such as Yang Fei and Feng Yin, are not qualified, and even Wang Wu, who has emerged in the past two years, is a little less popular.
For these three people, Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu have put a lot of effort into it, and any loss can be described as nerve-wracking, not to mention that Zhang Sheng ranks first among the three candidates......
"Up!"
At the critical moment, Zhang Sheng did not hesitate to shoot with all his strength, and the flying sword stabbed straight behind him like lightning. The two undead who were blocked in the back road had already expected it, and they blurred their bodies one step ahead, but they were only half-virtual and half-real, as if thousands of thin silk threads were then woven into countless tense nets. Although Zhang Sheng's flying sword was fast, it slowed down even after piercing dozens of nets.
"Broken!"
Zhang Shengyuan's spirit shook, and the flying sword swelled violently, shining brightly, and finally broke free from the shackled network.
But at the end of the strong crossbow, he couldn't wear Lu Penny, Zhang Shengqiang drummed Yuan Shen, although he barely wore Lu Penny, he also lacked follow-up, and he stopped soon after breaking free from the network. Fortunately, at this time, it was only one step away from the Dragon Palace Great Array...... However, at this moment, a pitch-black shadow appeared in front of him.
The already black black water still makes people feel dark, the power of the shadow can be seen, Zhang Sheng knows that he is not capable of the enemy, and he does not want to be the enemy, but fortunately, at the last moment, he still has a means to save his life.
"Solution!"
With a bang, Zhang Sheng's Yuan Shen was actually separated from the flying sword, and the original flying sword was shattered and turned into countless fragments, the largest of which happened to face forward, buying time for Zhang Sheng's Yuan Shen to fly away.
This hand is Ouyang Shang's last hole card taught him, although the natal flying sword is precious, it is not as valuable as human life. And in the end, the Kunshan Sword in Wang Lu's hand can be borrowed temporarily, and with the magic of the sword spirit, there should be no great resistance to serving as a natal flying sword for a period of time.
And Zhang Sheng's last move really worked, how great is the power of the dissociation of the natal flying sword? Each fragment was almost a full blow from Jindan Zhenren, and although the black shadow in charge of the containment was powerful, it was also forced to be in a hurry, and he had no time to take care of Zhang Sheng's Yuan Shen who took the opportunity to fly away.
It's just that just when Zhang Sheng was about to return to the Dragon Palace, the black shadow suddenly spoke.
"Zhang Sheng, it's me......"
The words were transmitted in the water, and Zhang Sheng returned to the Dragon Palace, and only the last trace of the remaining Yuan Shen was keenly captured.
Suddenly, Zhang Shengru was struck by lightning, and the Yuan Shen shook more than once.
