Chapter 10: Breaking the Mirror Before the Storm
The reason why trickery is called trickery, in addition to the definition of "the art of rebellion" by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the past, is also because of its weirdness, because it is almost omnipotent, breaking the spirit array, absorbing spiritual energy, turning spiritual power, and the spiritual power cultivated by trickery is simply synonymous with weirdness.
However, in the final analysis, the reason why the spiritual power of trickery can be so omnipotent is precisely because the essence of the spiritual power of trickery is too domineering, so domineering that the spiritual power of other exercises can not be countered at all.
And the greatest beauty of the trickery is that it completely breaks the barrier that will appear after the dual cultivation of the spirit and martial arts.
There are also many people in this world who can cultivate both spiritual and martial arts, but when they reach a certain level of cultivation, most of them will choose to practice one door alone, and use the other as a purely auxiliary.
Because spiritual power and true qi belong to different kinds of energy after all, it doesn't matter when both are still weak, but once both reach a certain strength, they will begin to affect each other, and in serious cases, they may even go mad, so that their bodies will be shattered directly.
There are also legends in the world about the unity of spirit and martial arts, but those legends have only been legends since ancient times, and it can be said that no one has ever really done it.
Of course, Qin Shi Huang couldn't do the integration of spirit and martial arts, but after his deduction, he finally made the trick bypass the spirit and martial barriers, so that the cultivator could practice all the spirit and martial arts to an extremely high level.
As I said earlier, trickery is a spiritual method, and there is no doubt about this, and it is impossible to cultivate true qi with the mental method of trickery. However, when a practitioner relies on a secret method of trickery, he can transform his spiritual power into an energy that is between true qi and spiritual power, and with this energy, the practitioner can not only perform spiritual methods, but also practice martial arts, without any conflict with each other.
"[Broken Mirror]!"
In an instant, Yao Ruoyu only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and all the spiritual power in his heart suddenly became violent as if it was ignited by flames, and he rushed out of the Purple Mansion completely uncontrollably, circling wildly all over his body.
However, the next moment, Yao Ruoyu held back the sharp pain, slowly raised his hand, and said softly: "[Tianyan]!"
The moment the word "act" fell, Yao Ruoyu's spiritual power that was almost about to burn his body all over his body suddenly changed, from heavy to light, from turbidity to clear, from hot and easy to moist, just a few breaths, the previous spiritual power that was still like a flame has turned into a pure, clear, warm and soft strange energy, flowing meekly in his body.
The purity of this energy is simply terrifying, and even the damage that had just appeared due to the excessive violence of spiritual power was slowly repaired after the appearance of this energy.
It's just that although this energy is incomparably pure and warm, Yao Ruoyu clearly senses that the spiritual well in the Purple Mansion is trembling violently, and in about ten breaths, his spiritual well will completely collapse.
"Ten breaths, that's enough!"
With a grip of his five fingers, Yao Ruoyu stepped on the ground in one step, and the true yuan power surged, turning into wisps of wind hanging around his feet, making his whole person seem to be out of gravity, sliding all the way out against the ground.
All the way up against the wind, in the blink of an eye, Yao Ruoyu had already approached the bottom of the tornado sword light, and as soon as the frost tide sword in his hand was raised, the ice-blue sword light shot out like a torrent, hitting the bottom of the tornado.
Yao Ruoyu, who was one in the three realms and one heavy, after casting the [Broken Mirror] secret method, suddenly became one of the four realms and one heavy, if you add the unique attributes of the true yuan force and the domineering madness of the trickery, his true combat power can match the four realms and five realms.
So although this sword was not enough to completely defeat the tornado, it was also enough to penetrate a hole that could allow him to pass through it with a single sword.
Turning around and jumping into the tornado, Yao Ruoyu glanced at it, and his heart was suddenly certain.
The inside of this tornado is indeed as he thought, just like the tornado of nature, although the external power is terrifying, but the internal wind eye is calm, and there will be no danger.
At the foot of his feet, Yao Ruoyu jumped out again, the sword in his hand lit up again, and a sword pierced through the bottom of the tornado on the other side, and directly pierced out of it, and came to the second master.
As early as the moment when Yao Ruoyu rushed into the tornado, the second master had already felt it, but Yao Ruoyu's movements were too fast, and before he could understand, Yao Ruoyu had already broken through the wind wall again and came to him.
"And five breaths!"
His eyes narrowed, Yao Ruoyu mobilized the true yuan power in his body, raised his sword and slashed.
If it was usual, the second master would have been shocked, after all, most of the spirit masters' melee combat abilities were weak, not to mention that now Yao Ruoyu's body fluctuations were obviously in the four realms, once he was allowed to get closer, even if the second master had the protection of the altar, he might not be able to escape the catastrophe.
It's just that at this moment, the second master's mind is full of violence, and he is completely filled with that negative emotion, and he doesn't care about the sword blade in front of him, and he still continues to manipulate the altar with a flick of his robe.
With a snort, Yao Ruoyu pierced the chest of the second master with a sword, and the frost sword power suddenly burst and scattered, blasting a hole in his chest.
With such an injury, the second master was already certain to die, but when he was dying, the fierce light in his eyes did not weaken in the slightest, and he stomped his foot fiercely with the last strength, and then fell down with his head up.
Seeing that the other party was killed, Yao Ruoyu didn't have the slightest joy, he keenly sensed that the white bone altar at the feet of the second master was trembling wildly, and the countless white bones on the surface were shaking violently, as if they would explode from it at any time.
At the last breath of the ten breaths, Yao Ruoyu only had time to pick up the tip of the sword, and while allowing himself to leap back with all his strength, he used a move [Great Collapse Spiritual Technique] to guide the spiritual energy of the altar explosion in other directions with all his might, and then quickly dispersed a body of True Yuan Force, stopping the operation of the two secret methods of [Heavenly Performance] and [Broken Mirror].
As soon as he stopped, Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, and his complexion quickly turned from ruddy to pale.
The secret method [Broken Mirror] is to ignite one's own spiritual power, so that it can exert twice as much power as it was in its heyday, and [Heavenly Performance] is a secret method to sublimate spiritual power into true yuan power, these two secret methods are so mysterious, they are not at all able to operate at will by Yao Ruoyu, who has three realms and one heavy, let alone two secret methods at the same time.
If it weren't for his special physique and natural affinity and control over spiritual power, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the time to use the True Yuan Power of the Five Breaths just now.
Rao is like this, at this moment, his meridians are extremely withered, and the Purple Mansion is even more in severe pain, and the whole person almost lost his spiritual power and became a wasted person.
Although Yao Ruoyu took out his sword in time to guide the spiritual energy tide elsewhere at the last breath, it was already the end of the strong crossbow at that time, and the operation of the secret technique was stopped in a hurry, so there was still a majestic spiritual energy surging towards him frantically.
As long as he was affected by that spiritual energy, with Yao Ruoyu's current physical state, he would definitely be severely injured on the spot, and it was even possible to die directly.
"The Secret Scripture of the Southern Ming Dynasty ......"
"[Flame Shield]!"
Just when Yao Ruoyu was about to be swallowed and torn apart by that spiritual energy, a cute female voice with a little pride suddenly sounded from the village, and then Yao Ruoyu, who was about to fall into a coma, felt that his body was hot, and several streams of fire appeared out of thin air, turning into a shield around him.
"Beast Spirit Secret Technique ......"
"[Spirit Tortoise Armor]!"
Li Yilin's voice sounded, and several pieces of tortoise shells were also condensed from the void by spiritual energy, protecting Yao Ruoyu firmly behind.
Boom, boom, after a few roars, the spiritual energy set off by the explosion of the White Bone Altar finally came into contact with Yao Ruoyu, first the several pieces of tortoise shell shook for a few breaths and then cracked and decomposed, and then the flame shield also supported for a few seconds, and finally it was shattered by the violent spiritual energy.
However, when the two of them blocked the spiritual energy one after another, Yang Renjie and Fu Feng had also rushed to Yao Ruoyu's side.
"[Spring Thunderstorm]!"
"[Tiger Teeth]!"
At the same time as the two roars exploded, Yang Renjie and Fu Feng had already rushed to the front of that spiritual energy one after the other.
Yang Renjie, who was already able to condense purple electricity, was naturally faster, and the moment he grabbed it, the purple thunder knife in his hand had already turned into purple lightning and split out, splitting that huge spiritual energy into two.
Fu Feng, who followed closely, raised the iron knife, and the Rock Tiger True Qi poured into the blade, and then used the knife as a shield to protect Yao Ruoyu's body, completely blocking the spiritual energy tide that had been scattered.
Seeing that everyone joined forces to protect him, Yao Ruoyu immediately smiled happily, but then there was a sharp pain in his eyebrows, and the sequelae of forcibly performing [Heavenly Performance] and [Broken Mirror] before finally couldn't be suppressed and erupted.
Holding back the pain in his eyebrows that seemed to burst at any time, Yao Ruoyu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Wait until I wake up, ...... I didn't finish speaking, he finally saw a black eye with all his strength, and completely fainted.
Seeing Yao Ruoyu faint and die, Wu Xue and Li Yilin were suddenly in a hurry, but fortunately, Yang Renjie was quite steady when he was serious, and quickly stabilized everyone, looked around, and saw that there were only three delirious thieves left, and immediately said sharply: "Meng master, Xunhuan, kill them all!"
"I want it!" Chen Meng, who didn't have time to make a move just now, was in annoyance, grinned when he heard the words, and pounced on the only three remaining thieves with Li Yilin.
At the same time, Wu Xue and Yang Renjie returned to the entrance of the village and found the bodies of the three officers and soldiers. In Wu Xue's tears, the two dug a pit next to them and buried the three of them.
And Chen Meng, who finally chased and killed the last escaped thief, had just come back with a knife, and happened to see Wu Xue sitting in front of the grave wiping her tears, and was suddenly taken aback, and said in shock: "Brother Demon is gone?"
"No, your uncle!" Fu Feng rolled his eyes angrily, "The old demon is alive and well, but then again, how did you end up in Wulong Thief?"
Scratching his head, a trace of horror suddenly crossed Chen Meng's bearded face, and he said in a panic: "Oops! I forgot!"
(Can this be forgotten?)
Everyone was sweating profusely when they heard this, and they couldn't even complain.
"No, no," knowing that everyone had misunderstood, Chen Meng hurriedly waved his hand and said urgently, "When we set off, the big boss said that if we don't go back by dinner, it means that I have betrayed, and he will kill Sister Jiang and Jingru with his own hands." ”
When everyone heard this, Li Yilin was even more furious, and said sharply: "What kind of truth is this? What if you encounter a strong enemy and are hunted down and killed, and you can't go back?"
"I told him, but he didn't pay attention to me at all......" Crooked his mouth, Chen Meng said with some grievances.
"Ahem, Meng Master, talk to you, don't sell cute, okay?" Wiping the cold sweat on his head, Fu Feng said with some embarrassment.
"How can I be cute?" staring wide, Chen Meng looked at him innocently.
Seeing that his bearded face was full of innocence, Wu Xue giggled: "Are you using your life to sell cuteness?"
Touching his face, Chen Meng muttered a little depressedly: "It's not my fault that I'm old......"
Yes, old looking...... Chen Meng's biggest problem is that he is old.
Although Chen Meng and Li Yilin are both freshmen, and they are not even twenty years old, he has a face that is at least thirty years old. Because of this, every time he holds an event, he is often mistaken for a teacher.
The most embarrassing thing is that Chen Meng's facial features are extremely prominent, with thick eyebrows and small eyes, a big nose and a big mouth, and a square face, so whenever he has a facial change due to mood swings, his expression is matched with the mature temperament of a thirty-year-old, which always gives people a sense of cuteness.
Li Yilin said with a smile: "Meng master, it's not your fault that you're old, but it's your fault to sell cute!"
Looking up at them, Yang Renjie said angrily: "I said that you can be a little nervous? Think about how to save Sister Jiang and Jingru first?"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly fell silent, just a second master plus dozens of thieves, they were forced to be so embarrassed, if they went to the lair of the Wulong thieves, they were afraid that the situation would be more dangerous, such a huge gap in strength, everyone couldn't think of how to rescue the second daughter.
Glancing at the sky, Yang Renjie frowned and said, "Let's go, it's still early before sunset, find a place to rest first, and then discuss countermeasures when the old demon wakes up." ”
Everyone nodded silently, and then Chen Meng picked up Yao Ruoyu, and the group quickly left here.
