Chapter Forty-Nine: The Dawning Moon (4k words, ask for a monthly ticket!) )
The real world.
Luojing City Exorcism Division Headquarters, Stargazing Platform.
When Gu Xu and the others were conducting trials in the illusion of the "Old Pot", Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division, had been sitting behind the low table, looking at the picture in the bronze mirror.
His gaze was calm.
Whether it was Gu Xu using a spell to effortlessly wipe out the heads of the "Fallen Heads People", or when the "Yelang Country Lord" quietly appeared surrounded by the ghost army, or Chu Fengge was trapped in the dark swamp of the "Yelang Country Lord", the expression on Luo Chuan's face did not change in the slightest.
Until the moment when Gu Xu cast "time".
Although the essence of "time" is to separate Gu Xu's own timeline from the original river of time, so that it has a different flow speed - that is to say, "time" is not to stop the time of the whole world, but to speed up Gu Xu's own speed.
The picture Luo Chuan saw was actually the same as what Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin saw, that is, Gu Xu's pupils suddenly turned into a deep indigo blue; Then in the blink of an eye, an orange flame ignited on the ground, and the dark law of the "Lord of Yelang Country" was cracked by Gu Xu's "Firefly" at an unimaginable speed.
These changes happen so quickly that people can't react at all.
However, Luo Chuan can use this bronze mirror to slow down this image and play it on a loop over and over again.
In fact, when Gu Xu escaped death in front of the Kongxuansan people and passed the news to Luojing City, Luo Chuan already knew that Gu Xu had mastered a powerful magical power related to time.
It stands to reason that time is a very mysterious realm that is very close to the essence of the Great Dao, and it is difficult for many saint-level powerhouses to fully explore the mysteries after exhausting their lives.
A monk who has just entered the realm of "Nai He Bridge" has awakened the supernatural power that can control the flow of time, which is a very outrageous and unbelievable thing.
However, Luo Chuan was not surprised by this, but felt that it was a matter of course.
And at this moment, when he saw the indigo color in Gu Xu's eyes through this bronze mirror, slowing down by two thousand times, as well as the universal stars and the vast galaxy hidden in it, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
On Luo Chuan's face, complex emotions were revealed - there was awe, respect, madness, and joy.
But these emotions only existed for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.
Luo Chuan is still the head of the exorcism division who has collapsed in front of Taishan and his color has not changed.
…………
The illusion in the pot, the Yamen of the Anshun Mansion Exorcism Division.
Chu Fengge couldn't wait to start a fight.
Ever since he had successfully advanced to the Fifth Realm, he had been very eager to show his strength in front of Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin, looking forward to seeing expressions of amazement or envy on their faces.
It is a pity that his "plan of pre-human apparition" has been repeatedly hindered in various ways.
He wanted to use Zhenyuan to kill the head of the "fallen people" in seconds, but Gu Xu stole the limelight; He wanted to compete with the "Lord of the Night Lang Country", but his actions were restricted by the other party's dark swamp.
At this moment, seeing Wu Qianhu, an opponent with the same realm as himself, his whole person became excited.
As soon as Gu Xu spoke, Chu Fengge strode forward, raised the iron sword in his hand, and blocked the fatal blow from Wu Qianhu for Gu Xu.
At the same time, he said loudly: "Who is Xiaoxiao, who dares to kill someone in front of me, Chu?" ”
Only a "clatter" was heard, and the two swords collided heavily.
The strong impact spread in all directions, shattering the ceramic planters placed outside the door of the duty room, overturning the chairs in the room, and alarming a flock of sparrows resting on the roof.
At this moment, Chu Fengge felt that he was simply handsome.
He has always regarded Gu Xu as his lifelong enemy, and feels that he may take away his title of "the first in the world in the future" anytime and anywhere.
However, at this moment, this "lifelong enemy" who made him jealous needed himself to help him out of danger.
"Hehe, it seems that Gu Xu himself admits that I am stronger than him," Chu Fengge thought to himself happily, "Otherwise, why would he ask me for help at this critical juncture?" ”
Wu Ming, a thousand households in Anshun Mansion, had a gloomy face.
He frowned and glanced at Chu Fengge—of course, in the illusion of the pot, Chu Fengge at this time was the Exorcist Division's eight-rank small banner Zhang Potian.
He didn't expect that this person would actually have the same cultivation realm as himself. Even, in the hard-fought True Yuan collision just now, the other party still had a slight upper hand.
What's going on here?
Wu Ming couldn't figure it out for a while.
But Chu Fengge didn't stop there.
Taking advantage of the moment when Wu Ming frowned and thought, he once again drew his sword at a lightning speed.
On the body of his sword, there was suddenly a bright starlight entwined; And behind him, a phantom of a bright moon emerged.
Under the brilliance of the stars and the moon, Chu Fengge's figure was plated with a layer of silver, making his movements agile and fast.
The fourth form of the "Cloud Sea Star River Sword", "Tianxiao Moon Shift", aims to defeat opponents with extreme speed and explosive power in a short period of time.
This style was used by Chu Fengge when he was discussing with Gu Xu in the "Realm of the Dao". At that time, he was not proficient in this style, so Gu Xu seized the opportunity and instantly defeated him with the "Burning Sky Seven Style".
This undoubtedly irritated him.
So since then, Chu Fengge has been practicing "Tianxiao Moon Shifting" day by day, becoming more and more proficient day by day; In addition, after he was promoted to the fifth realm, the power of the true element in his body also increased exponentially.
This style of "dawn and moon shifting" is obviously not the same as the original.
In an instant, Chu Fengge's figure disappeared in place, and then appeared on Wu Ming's side.
The iron sword in his hand was like a thunderbolt, stabbing fiercely towards Wu Ming's neck.
It all happened in a flash of lightning.
Before Wu Ming could react, the cold blade was already close to his skin.
One of the rings in his hand suddenly burst into a blinding crimson light, illuminating the backyard of the yamen, making the entire courtyard look as if it was drowned in blood.
Cracks appeared in the ring, which then turned into countless fragments and scattered all over the ground.
This ring is a magic weapon on Wu Ming's body, and its nature is similar to the "stand-in bracelet" that Luo Sishou gave to Gu Xu before, which can resist a deadly attack for him.
Although this magic weapon is precious, when Wu Ming went to Luojing City a few years ago, he spent a lot of money to invite a well-known refining master in the capital to build it.
But now he had no heart to pity the things outside of him.
He knew that if he didn't have this ring, in the face of Chu Fengge's sword that was full of thunderous momentum, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
Due to the huge battle between Chu Fengge and Wu Ming, the officials on duty in the yamen of the Exorcism Division were all alarmed and came to the backyard to watch.
Seeing Wu Qianhu being forced into a corner under the siege of his subordinates, they were all extremely shocked.
"Lord Wu? What's going on here? They looked nervous and asked, "Do you need our help?" ”
"You guys go far away, don't come here," Wu Ming's face turned pale, and his voice was very hurried, "I can solve the matter here myself." ”
"Wen Yannian" and his subordinates already know his secret.
He didn't want this secret to spread out and be known to more people.
Otherwise, the end that awaits him is not only death, but also complete ruin.
Hearing Wu Qianhu's instructions, the officials present were a little puzzled. But they have been in the Exorcism Division for many years, and it has become their instinct to obey the orders of their superiors.
Even if they all felt that things here were not simple, they still chose to follow Wu Qianhu's instructions and prepare to leave the backyard and return to their respective posts.
However, at this time, Gu Xu suddenly said lightly: "You all stay." ”
His voice was not loud and his expression was calm, but there was an unmistakable majesty.
The footsteps of the officials of the yamen involuntarily stopped, and they didn't know who to listen to for a while.
Today, this "Wen Zongqi" feels very strange to them. Their instincts told them that if they disobeyed his orders, the end would be very tragic.
Shangguan Jin keenly caught the hesitation of the officials.
"Didn't you hear him?" A faint smile appeared on her face, she paused for a moment, and then continued, "This Wu Qianhu of yours seems to have a bright appearance, and he is a good official who worries about the country and the people, but in fact, he has some unsavory secrets in private...... Aren't you curious? ”
As she spoke, she released the powerful aura of the Fourth Realm Cultivator, enveloping the entire courtyard.
Because the officials present basically only had the cultivation of the first and second realms, when they felt this breath, they couldn't help but shudder, and they stood in place and didn't dare to move.
At the same time, the battle between Chu Fengge and Wu Qianhu was still continuing.
Anger burned in Wu Ming's chest.
His expression was distorted, his hair was scattered, his features were menacingly clumped, his eyes were wide like brass bells, and his chest was rising and falling violently.
As he moved, the air around him seemed to start heating up and smoke erupted.
The actions of "Wen Yannian" and his subordinates have already angered him.
He just wants to put them to death at all costs.
So, he took a deep breath, raised his saber high, and gathered all the True Yuan in his body to the blade. As he moved, his face became paler and his body became weak, as if he had a serious illness.
However, his saber seemed to have a thousand pounds of weight, like a hanging mountain.
At this moment, he has not yet drawn his sword.
But just by seeing him raise his sword, the officials around him felt that they were having trouble breathing, and their heartbeats stopped for a few seconds—it was like a boulder of tens of thousands of tons pressing on their hearts, crushing all their internal organs into pieces.
"Sacrificial Sword".
This is a medium-grade martial art, and it is also the strongest sword move that Wu Ming has mastered so far.
He was born in a civilian family, has no family background, no famous teacher, no chance, and naturally has no way to learn powerful high-grade martial arts.
This "sacrificial sword" was redeemed from the treasury of the Yamen of the Exorcism Division by virtue of the merits he had accumulated over the years of ghost killing tasks.
The essentials of this swordsmanship, just like its name, need to truly "sacrifice oneself and forget death" in order to exert its powerful power.
When the monk performs this sword technique, he must evacuate all the true elements of his body and concentrate all of them on the blade.
Throw all your might, and only slash with one sword.
Do not leave yourself the slightest retreat.
This sword can fully realize the full potential of the monks, and can even help them defeat enemies who are more powerful than themselves.
But after a sword, the monk's true yuan will be overdrawn, and his body will become extremely weak, and he will no longer have the slightest ability to fight.
When that time comes, either you will die or I will die.
Wu Ming has always regarded this sword technique as his life-saving hole card, and he will never use it until it is critical.
But today, he was cornered.
He had to fight his way.
When Wu Ming was in the process of accumulating strength, Chu Fengge's eyes also became alert.
Even if he was a rough man on weekdays, he could clearly feel that Wu Ming's sword was extremely terrifying and could pose a threat to him.
Moreover, Wu Ming's weapon is his natal sword; Chu Fengge's weapon was just an ordinary iron sword without any extraordinary attributes.
Just now, he was able to have a slight upper hand in the swordsmanship battle, because he practiced the top-grade martial arts "Lie Xingjue", and used the top-grade martial arts "Yunhai Xinghe Sword".
But now, he is not sure that he can block Wu Mingshe's sword of forgetting life and death.
But Chu Fengge knew that he was absolutely cowardly in such a situation - especially not in front of Gu Xu, the "lifelong enemy". No matter how terrifying Wu Ming's sword was, he had to be tough.
So, he swung his iron sword and tried to block the attack.
The blade of his sword shimmered with sparse stars.
At the same time as he swung his sword, not only the sound of the "whooshing" wind sounded, but also the faint sound of bells and drums, and the crisp and pleasant cry of the yellow warbler sounded.
The stars are scarce, the bells and drums are resting, and the warbler is waning outside the curtain.
This is the fifth type of "Yunhai Xinghe Sword", "Xiaoying Wanyue".
It does not have the majestic momentum of the second type of "falling nine days", nor does it have the range defense capability of the third type of "Tianhe Night Turn".
Its sword intent was just like its name, gentle, graceful, and seemingly intimidating.
But its ability to rank in the fifth form clearly proves that it is more powerful and subtle than the previous forms.
Up to now, Chu Fengge has only learned this formula preliminarily, and has not fully comprehended its true meaning. But in order to avoid being looked down upon by Gu Xu, he must make a tough move, and he must not lose in momentum.
Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.
At the moment when Chu Fengge took out his sword, he had already noticed that Chu Fengge's style of "Xiaoying Wanyue" had nothing to show for it, but it had no charm.
The sound of the warbler should have been born with the breeze, and it was natural and amorphous.
But the warbler cry that Gu Xu heard was like an artist's ventriloquism, pretentious and stiff.
"With this move, he will definitely not be able to stop Wu Ming." Gu Xu secretly judged in his heart.
