Chapter 178: The Blade of the Heart (Part II)
At this time, Shi Cheng was running his supernatural powers, he was in mid-air, and the route of the true qi flow on his body was clear against the background of the night.
Shi Cheng had used the Heaven and Earth Furnace Divine Power once in Zhisha Mountain, but Zhao Ping was knocked to the ground by Sun Jinyong at that time, and he didn't see the true qi route on Shi Cheng's body.
At this time, Zhao Ping, like Zheng Yidao and Zhu Mingtao, was the first time to see the chaotic and dense flow of light on Shi Cheng's body.
"How is this possible!" Zhao Ping and Zheng Yidao were shocked, "Shi Cheng doesn't have a dantian!" He...... How did he get into the realm of cultivators? ”
Zhu Mingtao's mood was no different from Zhao Ping and Zheng Yidao, but after all, he was a half-step grandmaster, and he was in danger right now, so he quickly restrained his fluctuating state of mind.
"What kind of exercises is this little miscellaneous cultivating? He is obviously a mule who can't open a dantian, how can he still cultivate all the way to the realm of a half-step grandmaster? Damn, why didn't they tell me about this? ”
But now is not the time to talk in my heart, for Zhu Mingtao, the top priority is to block the fireball pushed by Shi Cheng first.
Zhu Mingtao waved his left hand, and a large pile of gold jewelry flew out of the storage bag and appeared in his hand, he recited the incantation, and in a moment, a dark Dao intent blessed the belongings in his hand.
Something strange happened, the gold jewelry in Zhu Mingtao's hand was evaporated in an instant, and after these jewels dissipated, a golden light immediately flashed on Zhu Mingtao's body.
He let out a loud shout, his palms pushed out, and his true qi actually skyrocketed sharply, and his aura also increased. The fireball exploded on the ground, and the snow on the entire mountain melted in an instant, but Zhu Mingtao still succeeded in blocking this move.
A hint of paleness flashed on Zhu Mingtao's face, but he quickly regained his ruddyness, he was obviously not injured, but the momentum that was originally climbing gradually fell back.
This time it was Shi Cheng's turn to be surprised, and he saw Zhu Mingtao's actions clearly in mid-air.
"He was able to sacrifice such mundane possessions as gold and jewels and transform them into his own power in a short period of time...... What is the Dao meaning of this Zhu Family Farm's cultivation? ”
Shi Cheng didn't have time to think about it now, Zhu Mingtao crushed another gold ingot while he was thinking about it, his breath was shocked, and the long sword in his hand stabbed at Shi Cheng like a spiritual snake.
Shi Cheng didn't say much, and stepped on the light gong technique created by Xu Zhiyuan, the late half-step grandmaster of the Western Continent, and stabbed it with his sword, and in a few breaths, the two of them had already fought more than thirty moves in mid-air.
"This kid's swordsmanship is really good!" The more Zhu Mingtao fought, the more shocked he was in his heart, "This set of footwork is also really exquisite, I don't know where I learned it, most of it was created by everyone in Xilu." ”
After more than 20 moves, Shi Cheng let out a long roar in his mouth, and suddenly went retrograde to climb the clouds, which caught Zhu Mingtao off guard, and a wave of Haoran sword qi broke through the air and stabbed towards Zhu Mingtao, which was the Qingyun Sect's slashing sword technique.
"How can this little guy still know the swordsmanship of the Qingyun Sect!" The appearance of the slashing sword technique made Zheng Yidao tremble again.
Shi Cheng's sudden sword did not catch Zhu Mingtao off guard, he immediately took out a genuine spirit sword from the storage bag, and after sacrificing it, Zhu Mingtao's mouth spit out a word in the Old North language in a low voice, "Lease!" ”
With a mistake in his feet, he actually took the step of ascending the clouds, narrowly avoiding Shi Cheng's sword qi.
At this moment, even the face under the mask of the iron mask became stunned, and he hurriedly reminded him: "Shi Cheng, his cloud climbing step doesn't seem to be obtained by cultivation, this person's cultivation intention is very strange, you have to be more vigilant!" ”
Shi Cheng naturally knew that Zhu Mingtao's cloud climbing step was not something he would have had, because his own cloud climbing footwork seemed to have been taken away by the Heavenly Dao, and he couldn't perform it for a while.
"If this is really the influence of his Dao intentions, then what Zhu Mingtao said before is true, just like me, he is only one step away from truly realizing the Dao and advancing to the Grandmaster, and even his progress is probably faster than mine......"
Zhu Mingtao got the footwork of climbing the clouds, and his power was even stronger, he shouted, and there was a heavenly resonance around his body, and the long sword in his hand seemed to come to life, and he forced Shi Cheng back with one move.
The sword trick of the Nine Tricks of Lethe!
After seeing this magical power, Shi Cheng was able to figure out some of Zhu Mingtao's thoughts, and the other party's heart was also very clear that it was impossible to escape directly under the attack of five people today, and the only chance was to take advantage of the current momentum to defeat him Shi Cheng.
However, in Shi Cheng's opinion, since Zhu Mingtao has taken out all the magical powers of the Lu clan, he may still have the intention of quickly defeating Shi Cheng and destroying the remaining four people on the spot.
Zhu Mingtao was unforgiving, he continued to draw his sword, forcing Shi Cheng to retreat in mid-air, although the steps under his feet had begun to become sluggish, but Shi Cheng had been pressed into the wind by him.
Iron Mask's heart was very nervous, he clenched the sword in his hand, as long as the situation continued to deteriorate, he would immediately send out his sword to support Shi Cheng.
However, there was no anxious and panicked expression on Shi Cheng's face, and if Zhu Mingtao observed carefully, he could even see some smiles at the corners of Shi Cheng's mouth.
"That's the end of the warm-up, it's over." Shi Cheng thought in his heart, and a strange glow suddenly flashed in the sea of consciousness inside his soul and in his eyes.
"Heaven and earth are Qi, the avenue has a source, the five elements are thousands, and the heart is in front of it. The withering glory flows, the reincarnation is self-revealed, the heavens are difficult to hide, and there is nothing to hide! ”
The general outline of the mental method of the withering glory heart blade flashed in Shi Cheng's heart, and with the operation of the mental method, the heaven and earth within the reach of the eye have changed in Shi Cheng's eyes!
There is only one color left in the heavens and the earth, and the only difference is that the gray in different things is dark and light.
All kinds of shades of gray are intertwined between heaven and earth, Shi Cheng stared closely at the bright gray on Zhu Mingtao's body, and such a feeling faintly appeared in his brain, through the flow of gray on Zhu Mingtao's body, he could clearly judge the direction of the other party's next breath, and the weak points around Zhu Mingtao's body were also more and more clearly displayed in front of him.
It's just that if he wants to fully see the flaws on the other party, Shi Cheng will need some time.
"Huh?" Iron Mask let out a puzzled sound softly, and he suddenly realized that Shi Cheng had become a little different.
As if an unpredictable prophet, Zhu Mingtao's powerful sword aura was easily avoided by Shi Cheng, and even Zhu Mingtao followed up with the two sudden changes that didn't even touch Shi Cheng's sleeves.
Shi Cheng became more and more at ease, although on the surface it seemed that Zhu Mingtao's arrogance was even stronger, and Shi Cheng was even so pressed that he couldn't even fight back, but as long as a careful master thought it carefully, he would find the difference.
With a "boom", Zhu Mingtao's sword qi drew a deep ravine on the ground, but Shi Cheng's whole person had already moved to his left front unconsciously.
The chill in Zhu Mingtao's heart grew stronger and stronger, only he knew best what kind of embarrassing situation he was facing at the moment, he always felt that he was not fighting with a monk, but with a ghost battle that only appeared in legends and strange tales.
"What kind of trick is this kid using? I don't know anything about it! In this case, I can't afford to rent his new moves......"
Zhu Mingtao knew very well in his heart that his "lease" was time-limited, and he could only borrow one of the other party's exercises in a short period of time, if he still couldn't hit Shi Cheng within twenty moves, then if he wanted to maintain the borrowed Dengyun step, he could only continue to "pay" with the spirit treasure.
But looking at the current posture, Shi Cheng's true qi is still endless, and he Zhu Mingtao's spiritual treasure is limited after all, but I am afraid that when the time comes, the spiritual treasure will be exhausted, and his own sharpness will be greatly reduced, but after all, he still can't help Shi Cheng.
"Fight!" Zhu Mingtao roared and sacrificed two more spirit swords. His whole body exploded with true qi, and his whole body was constantly moving rapidly in the sky, and his cloud climbing step was also exerted to the extreme. Suddenly, everyone only felt that the sky was full of his figure and sword light.
The figure and the sword light were intertwined into a big net, strangling Shi Cheng from all directions, Zhu Mingtao had already made up his mind in his heart, if this move could not hit Shi Cheng, he would use the aftermath of the explosion of true qi to break through the formation set by Shi Cheng, and then escape from here with all his might.
However, at this moment, Shi Cheng, who had been dodging, finally stopped.
With the sudden resonance of the Heavenly Dao, Shi Cheng stepped on a mountain stone, borrowed a little bit of strength, and stabbed straight towards Zhu Mingtao.
"What's going on!?" Zhu Mingtao was horrified in his heart, Shi Cheng's blow was so fast and incoherent that he attacked in front of him almost in the blink of an eye, and the flickering sword light on the unpretentious iron sword seemed to illuminate all the weaknesses in his body.
At this moment, a top-notch half-step grandmaster was like a child who didn't know martial arts in front of an opponent in the same realm.
Like the rising sun flooding the stars, Zhu Mingtao's overwhelming and magnificent sword net was shattered in an instant under Shi Cheng's soaring sword light.
"No !!"
In the next breath, the figures of the two staggered past and landed on the ground at the same time, facing away from each other.
Iron Mask and the others surrounded them, and all eight eyes anxiously scanned back and forth on the two people's bodies.
"You're ...... I found my flaws in one move......"
Zhu Mingtao muttered and said the last words of his life.
His gaze, which had begun to drift, was fixed on his chest, and a wet red dot appeared on his shirt on the left chest.
The red dot is getting bigger and bigger, and Zhu Mingtao's heartbeat is getting slower and slower.
The sword in his hand fell to the ground, and the heavenly resonance around him completely disappeared, and after about ten breaths, Zhu Mingtao's sturdy body fell suddenly.
The owner of the Zhu family, who has dominated the Western Desert Martial Arts for decades, has fallen.
Shi Cheng withdrew his iron sword and looked at the others with a calm gaze.
Zheng Yidao's heart was almost jumping out of his chest, and Shi Chengfang's figure when he delivered a desperate blow gradually coincided with the figure of the invincible powerhouse in his memory.
"Really...... Withered Glory Heart Blade! ”
