Chapter 5: The Fierce War
Gu Xu naturally couldn't take out the thing of "Lu Yin".
Therefore, the moment he heard this voice, he did not hesitate to hold the "astrolabe" and ran away.
"There's something wrong with this person's identity! Catch him! ”
Seeing Gu Xu disobeying his orders and running away, Que Juchang, a thousand households in Liaozhou Mansion, shouted loudly at his subordinates while flying 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 Realm cultivator and a master of using hidden weapons.
He was born in the "Moon Shadow Palace", the sect that is best at cultivating killers in Hedong Province, and was later recruited by the government to become an official of the Exorcism Division.
The cylinder in his sleeve is called the "Sleeve Arrow".
It packs dark arrows in a special barrel with a short shaft and a heavier arrowhead. As soon as you touch the mechanism with the True Element, the Dark Arrow will shoot out of the small hole in the top of the barrel.
It starts quickly and has a long range, which is unguardable.
Que Juchang also smeared poison on the tip of the Dark Arrow, which would incapacitate the target once it came into contact.
He raised his arm and aimed the small hole of the quiver at Gu Xu, who was fleeing in front of him.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The dark arrows were like a torrential rain, flying towards Gu Xu continuously.
Gu Xu had long sensed the danger behind him.
He frowned slightly, and with his keen thinking, he calculated the trajectory of the dark arrow's flight, and then cast his body to dodge.
Suddenly, more than a dozen hidden arrows passed by him, but they failed to hurt him in the slightest.
Of course, Que Juchang would not let Gu Xu easily escape this catastrophe.
As soon as his mind moved, the dark arrows in the air turned around one after another, and aimed their blades at Gu Xu.
"It's a nuisance." Gu Xu muttered in his heart.
As his eyes silently turned indigo, thin black lines suddenly rippled in the air around him, like ripples in a lake.
With the authority of "Qiankun", he distorted the nearby space.
The dark arrow changed direction again and flew towards the ground, but before it could land, it was all annihilated in the black space gap.
Seeing this strange 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 monk of the fourth realm would have such profound attainments in the laws of space.
This means that many of the secret weapons he has mastered are difficult to use when dealing with Gu Xu.
However, it was far more than Que Juchang who rounded up Gu Xu.
When Gu Xu dodged Que Juchang's hidden weapon, the branches of the trees around him suddenly grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The branches were entangled and woven into a huge cage, trapping Gu Xu inside.
Gu Xu once again cast "Qiankun", trying to leave this cage by teleporting at a short distance.
But perhaps it's because the forest is so vast.
After escaping from one cage, he entered a new one.
All the trees seemed to have become monsters with teeth and claws, like an octopus waving its tentacles, and like an insect wriggling its mouthparts, wanting to swallow Gu Xu into its stomach and digest and absorb it.
"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 middle-aged man who was short and acquainted, holding a rattan cane, floating above the forest.
At the end of his crutches, the green light flickered on and off.
Because Gu Xu used to be an official in the Great Qi Imperial Court, he had casually flipped through the archives of the Exorcism Division, and with his ability to never forget, he kept everyone's information in mind.
So he quickly recognized that the person in front of him was Shangwei of the Thousand Households of Fenzhou Mansion. He is a monk of the fifth realm, who has practiced the high-grade exercise "Huimu Sutra", and is good at manipulating the spells of plants.
"Since I can't escape this cage, then I'll just tear it down." Gu Xu thought secretly.
With a flick of his sleeve, more than twenty "Flame True Talismans" flew out of the "Idle Cloud Residence", turning the forest into a sea of fire.
But after a while, when the flames were extinguished, the surrounding trees were unharmed, and there was no trace of being burned.
Still stretching the branches, restricting his movements.
"He is worthy of being a master of cultivating the upper grade exercises," he glanced at Shang Wei, who was holding a cane, and thought silently in his heart, "It's really not so easy to deal with." ”
As a last resort, he could only spend a little more True Yuan and cast a "firefly" to burn the branches of the trees around him that bound him.
However, the officials of the Great Qi Dynasty were not in a one-on-one confrontation with him.
While he was busy dealing with Shang Wei's spells, a heavy meteor hammer suddenly flew straight towards his head.
The meteor hammer was perfectly round, with a number of inch-long iron nails on it, and the nail heads were forward, extremely sharp.
Gu Xu was shocked, and immediately relied on the instinctive reaction of his body, bent down and lowered his head, dodging this fatal blow.
The owner of the Meteor Hammer is clearly very good at concealing his aura.
Even if Gu Xu had an amazing spiritual perception, he didn't perceive the sudden and terrifying attack in advance.
As you can imagine, if his reaction was a little slower and he was hit in the head by this meteor hammer, then his skull would be shattered in an instant, and his brain would be splattered.
"The Great Qi Imperial Court really looks up to me," he couldn't help but complain silently, "I actually sent three fifth-realm cultivators with extraordinary strength to deal with a weak, pitiful, and helpless fourth-realm cultivator of mine." ”
But Gu Xu still underestimated how much the Great Qi Imperial Court valued him.
No sooner had the Meteor Hammer flown away than another halberd stabbed straight into his chest.
The speed of the halberd is faster than that of the meteor hammer.
Even if Gu Xu poured twelve points of attention, he couldn't see the trajectory of its movement.
He had to use "Time", slowing down the flow of time slightly, before he could barely dodge its attack.
At this time, he noticed that the person holding the halberd was a tall woman with a plain face.
Her expression was cold, and there was not the slightest emotion on her face.
And behind her, countless rays of blue-purple lightning intertwined, fusing into an astonishing magic phase.
"The chief soldier of Hedong Province, Zhu Qiuyi."
Gu Xu quickly recognized her identity.
According to the information files he had casually flipped through before, he knew that this woman who was not amazing had a cultivation close to the peak of the Sixth Realm, and he also knew her fighting style-
That's one word, "fast".
The supernatural power she awakened when she broke through the third realm, called "Chasing the Wind", could instantly speed up her movement speed, reaction speed, and attack speed by two times to more than 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, and what changes is the speed of time flow, which has no effect on Gu Xu himself.
The function of "chasing the wind" is to stimulate the potential of one's body and soul, speeding up oneself without affecting the passage of time in the surrounding environment.
Zhu Qiuyi, who mastered "chasing the wind", was undoubtedly a terrifying assassin. In an instant, she was able to get close to her target, complete the assassination, and quietly leave.
Many times, before the target could see her clearly, his head had already fallen to the ground.
For most of the monks in the world who lack the means to save their lives, especially the talisman masters, formation masters, Gu masters, feng shui masters, etc., who are not good at hand-to-hand combat, it can definitely be called a terrible nightmare.
Moreover, she not only has the "chasing the wind" supernatural power, but also the "thunder" magic phase.
"Dharma" is the manifestation of "Tao".
After the Great Wilderness Monk knocks on the Gate of Xudu and advances to the Sixth Realm, his understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will be presented in the form of a vision, which will provide him with significant buffs during battle or cultivation.
After breaking through the seventh realm, the "Dharma Phase" will be reintegrated into the monk's body, helping the monk complete the transformation of "transcendent sanctification".
In other words, the strong saints do not have the "law phase" - of course, it can also be understood that the "law phase" of the strong saints is their own physical body.
If a monk has been using ready-made high-grade exercises and cultivating with the help of the "Dao" comprehended by his predecessors, he may be able to quickly advance to the sixth realm and condense the "Dharma Phase".
But his "Dharma Appearance" will never be able to merge with himself; His cultivation will also be stagnant in the Sixth Realm forever, and he will not be able to take a step forward.
After all, his "Tao" was borrowed, not his own.
Because of this, Gu Xu has always insisted on constantly improving the medium-grade exercises of "Red Flame True Technique", instead of cultivating high-grade exercises like "Column Technique".
Zhu Qiuyi's choice was the opposite of him.
After she made meritorious contributions to solving cases many times, she used a large amount of meritorious service to exchange a high-grade exercise from the Exorcism Division - "Wind and Thunder Introduction".
After that, she entered the country faster than expected, in her early thirties, she had already knocked on the "Xudu Gate", condensed the "Law Phase", and was appointed by the imperial court as the chief soldier of the four products, in charge of the affairs of the first province of the exorcism department.
Her "Thunder Phase" not only inflicts her True Element with Thunder and Lightning, further speeding up her attacks, but also has a deterrent effect on the minds of nearby enemies, slowing them down in their reactions and actions.
If it weren't for Gu Xu's frequent carving of all kinds of spiritual defense talisman seals in his sea of knowledge, I am afraid that even the "time" may not be used, and he will be pierced through his body by the long halberd.
"A terrible enemy." He commented.
In the face of a martial artist like Zhu Qiuyi, who came and went without a trace and acted as fast as lightning, many of his powerful methods, such as "Shocking Pen and Star Array", could not be used.
Because it was impossible for Zhu Qiuyi to give him time to recite the mantra and brew the true yuan.
In addition, he also needs to turn on the "time" from time to time in order to see clearly the direction of Zhu Qiuyi's halberd stab and respond in time.
He clearly felt that the true element in his body was passing rapidly.
In less than sixty breaths, his true yuan will be completely exhausted, and he will no longer have the strength to resist.
"Am I going to be planted here today?"
He thought solemnly as he dodged the oncoming halberd and meteor hammer.
He only has the fourth realm of cultivation.
Even if he was extremely talented and burdened with the cause and effect of the "Ziwei Emperor", he could not defeat a group of enemies in the fifth and sixth realms with more than one enemy.
He could barely hold on, and then find a way to escape.
But his current true yuan is not enough to support him to build a spatial channel, nor can he use "Qiankun" to teleport many times in a row.
The speed of his flight is not as fast as Zhu Qiuyi.
Although he carried a "double bracelet" on his body, it could only fend off a deadly attack for him, and could not send him to safety.
He seems to have fallen into a situation of slow death.
…………
When Gu Xu was fighting alone with one enemy, several officials in charge of arresting him were also communicating secretly through divine sense.
"This kid is really tough to deal with."
"His speed is hardly much slower than that of Master Zhu. Could it be that he has also awakened some kind of supernatural power related to speed? ”
"Does he really only have the Fourth Realm? Why do I feel that a group of us Fifth and Sixth Realm cultivators are being played by him alone? ”
"Que Juchang, is this the 'Hidden Arrow' that you have always been proud of? Why didn't an arrow hit the target? ”
"Heh, Pu Shilong, you're not much better, you've been throwing the meteor hammer in the air there, like a street performer."
“……”
…………
Minutes and seconds passed.
Gu Xu's true yuan is about to dry up, and he can no longer maintain "time".
Perhaps because of the overdraft of Zhenyuan, he felt that his head was slightly dizzy, and his eyes were a little black.
But Zhu Qiuyi's halberd is still menacing and swift as lightning.
At the moment when Gu Xu terminated the "time", the long halberd silently stabbed his throat from the side.
Gu Xu leaned over to dodge, but the halberd still slashed through the side of his face, marking a bloody mark, and then picking up his mask.
Zhu Qiuyi quickly noticed that Gu Xu's reaction speed and movement speed were much slower than just now, and his face looked pale and weak.
"Perhaps, he just used some kind of secret method to activate the potential of his body," she secretly guessed, "and now, the effect of the secret method is over. ”
Her moves immediately became more decisive.
She used her technique, went around Gu Xu's back, and stabbed his 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 flesh and blood, but a thin piece of paper.
Gu Xu used the paper man as a stand-in and escaped the fatal blow again.
Taking advantage of Zhu Qiuyi's attention attracted by the paper figure, he had already fled to a place more than ten meters away.
It's just that this time, he dodged Zhu Qiuyi's halberd, but he didn't dodge the meteor hammer of Jinyang Qianhu Pu Shilong.
The large iron ball embedded in the iron nail slammed into his back, cutting through his robe and cutting his skin, and the wound was bleeding profusely.
Gu Xu frowned in pain, and sweat drops appeared on his forehead.
But his enemies did not leave him the slightest time to breathe.
At the moment when he was in a trance due to his injury, the "sleeve arrow" of Qianhu Que Juchang of Liaozhou Prefecture stabbed him in the left shoulder, and the poison quickly spread to his whole body.
His body stiffened suddenly, as if it had turned into wood, and he could no longer call.
He became in free fall and fell straight from the sky.
He tried to meditate on the "Purifying Mantra" to remove the negative effects of the poison on him.
But at this moment, Zhu Qiuyi, the chief soldier of Hedong, rushed straight towards him like lightning again.
Although the order of the imperial court reads, "Capture Gu Xu, live or die".
But since Gu Xu escaped from the "Liuhe Sealing Immortal Array" in Luojing City, the officials of Daqi have basically reached a consensus - Gu Xu who is dead is safer than he is alive.
Because this kid has too many methods to prevent.
If you are not careful, you may let him escape.
Therefore, even if he saw that Gu Xu was seriously injured and lost his combat effectiveness, Zhu Qiuyi still gathered all the true elements on the halberd, ready to pierce his throat with the power of thunder, making him die thoroughly.
