Chapter 9: The Battle of the Temple
In the northeast of Taixuanzong, on the south side of the demon abyss, at the intersection of the three medium-grade spiritual veins, there is a beautiful mountain peak that is more and more high, called Guanhai Peak.
Guanhai Peak is lush with grass and trees, surrounded by spiritual mist, the fragrance of flowers wafting, and the air is fresh and striking. The spiritual spring waterfall on the top of the mountain, pouring down, such as practice. There is a deep pool of deep valleys under it, the blue waves are rippling, the water vapor is steaming, and it is condensed into a canopy. The pond water meanders and flows, forming a gurgling stream, and there are cranes and colorful birds stopping and stopping, and the cry is melodious and long.
However, this dreamlike immortal resort is a taboo that the Taixuan Sect avoids, and it is a lingering nightmare in the hearts of the entire Southern Regions Demon Cultivators!
Whether it is a disciple of a family with a deep background, or a bloodthirsty and murderous demon lord, or a wealthy nobleman of the Three Kingdoms, the high-ranking magnates of the four sects, as long as they threaten the safety and stability of Taixuanzong and are on the wanted list of the Law Enforcement Palace, there is almost no possibility of escape.
Don't talk about the vicissitudes of thousands of years, only talk about the ups and downs of nearly a thousand years. The two generations of law enforcement hall masters, led 800 law enforcement disciples, walked in the dark ghosts, fought in the sea of blood and battlefields, cleared the Taoist cultivation cockroaches internally, and killed the demon cultivators externally, I don't know how many powerful opponents he has defeated, and how many sacrifices he has paid to win this prestigious name.
Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!
It is the iron law engraved on both sides of the main hall by the current hall master!
Three hundred years ago, after a series of wars, the strength of Taixuanzong fell to the bottom, and the major families of the Three Kingdoms took advantage of the situation to fight back, secretly boycotted the Law Enforcement Palace, attacked each other, and wantonly expanded their territory.
In this context, there were frequent attacks and harassments in the strongholds of Taixuanzong stationed in various places, resulting in unstable people's hearts and fluctuations.
Later, the young patriarch of the Zheng family picked quarrels and provoked trouble, enslaved the mountain people to mine spiritual mines, seriously injured the two disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall who went to arrest him, and abolished the dantian.
At that time, Mu Chen, who had not been the hall master for a long time, took two deputy hall masters, six deacons of the Yuanying Realm, and five hundred disciples who had cultivated above the foundation to directly surround the Zheng family's ancestral land.
On that day, if it weren't for the Zheng family's ancestor succumbing to weakness at the last moment, the five major families in the Three Kingdoms Dao cultivation would have become four!
And the young patriarch of the Zheng family, who was interested in interests and ruthless, was beheaded by Mu Chen in public. Hundreds of Zheng family descendants didn't dare to make a sound!
From now on, as long as the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall have suffered any unfair treatment outside, there will be groups of fellow disciples who will fight back and take revenge regardless of sacrifice. When the sect was at its weakest, it played the strongest momentum!
To this day, in the Blood Prison at the bottom of Guanhai Peak that is connected to the Demon Suppression Abyss, there are still thousands of criminals and villains, many of whom are strong cultivators in the Yuan Infant Realm. Legend has it that at the bottom of the ropes, there is even a demon who transforms into a god realm!
Therefore, even if the Law Enforcement Hall has been leaderless for many years, and only two deputy hall masters can barely maintain it, it still firmly occupies the first place on the Taixuan Sect's merit list with its powerful foundation, and it is the most desirable holy place for aspiring disciples of the Five Veins!
The jade leaves carried the two of them down, and Su Mo followed behind Mu Feng and came to a pitch-black battle platform made of dark iron. On both sides of the battle platform, there were already two people waiting cross-legged.
A girl in white, with long hair and a shawl, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, frosty wrists, delicate skin, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and she has a superior posture.
A blue-robed young man, tall and burly, with an angular face and a long knife in front of him, saw Su Mo coming, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.
Both of them are outside the sect, they have been practicing for a long time, and their hearts are arrogant, and a new disciple will naturally not be polite when they come to compete with them for the position of disciples of the Law Enforcement Palace.
Without waiting for Liu Feng to speak, the girl in white walked up to the battle platform and arched her hand: "Lotus Peak Outer Disciple Mu Lan, please advise!"
Su Mo's expression was calm, he jumped onto the battle platform, and saluted back: "Su Mo, please advise!"
Mu Lan was holding a blood-colored long sword, his back was slightly lowered, his feet were staggered back and forth, and his fighting spirit was full of fighting spirit, and there was a cyan wind blade whirling.
Su Mo's eyes flashed slightly, revealing a touch of anticipation, and the Shadow Sword was suspended in front of him, trembling lightly, bursting out with countless sword qi, like a fierce wave, swept towards Mu Lan.
"It's a good time!" Mu Lan was not afraid at all, he snorted, dragged his sword and ran wildly, turning into a blood-colored afterimage, and crashing into the wave of sword qi.
"Boom!"
Mu Lan's speed was extremely fast, like a big ship propulsing, crushing the wave of sword qi, waving the long sword, the wind blade whistling, annihilating everything in front of him, and stabbing his throat!
Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, flicked his fingers, and the Shadow Sword turned into cold light, shocking the blood-colored long sword. At the same time, he stepped forward, approached, beat the drum with both fists, and smashed the fist violently, smashing into Mu Lan's vital point!
Mu Lan's arm was numb, and his heart was shocked.
The long sword in her hand is a high-grade spiritual weapon specially given by the family, it is extremely sharp and powerful, and the sword has the power of three points in the early stage of foundation building, but it was easily dissolved by the other party, and there is even the strength to fight back.
The fist gang was fierce and domineering, endless, Mu Lan decisively took a defensive posture, and retreated, hoping to use this to grind away Su Mo's ferocious offensive, and wait for him to reach the time when the flow of Yuan Li was stagnant.
However, Mu Lan underestimated Su Mo's foundation, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred punches passed, not only did not show the slightest decline, but became stronger and stronger, and his fist gradually climbed to the top.
After a long time, there must be flaws, not to mention that a lady from a family like Mu Lan, who lacks actual combat experience, was soon forced to the edge of the battlefield, and the situation was critical.
The golden light in Su Mo's eyes flowed, capturing Mu Lan's moves, grasping a little flaw, sealing his hands, flicking his ten fingers in a row, condensing several sword qi in front of him, stabbing Mu Lan's throat and heart respectively, tearing and expanding that flaw infinitely!
Mu Lan's face turned red, thinking that he had worked hard to get the opportunity to be assessed, but he was suppressed by the other party and had no power to fight back, and he felt deeply aggrieved and angry.
If she loses, how to gain a foothold in Lotus Peak in the future, so she gritted her silver teeth and shouted: "If you want to win me, it's not so easy!"
In the end, he was the best among his peers, even if he was at an absolute disadvantage, Mu Lan still maintained his composure, raised the long sword in his hand, completely let go of his defense, and slashed out the strongest sword with a decisive attitude.
"Boom!"
The blood light collided with the sword qi, and the two colors of Yuan Force intertwined, making a loud noise, and the wind swept up the sand and soil, sweeping around with the two of them as the center.
When the wind dissipated, the figures of the two on the battle platform gradually became clear. I saw that Mu Lan was holding a long sword, still maintaining an oblique slashing posture, but his expression was miserable and he didn't dare to move.
"Agreed!" Su Mo waved his right hand, and the Shadow Sword hovering at Mu Lan's throat returned to the forest like a tired bird.
Liu Feng looked at Su Mo and asked, "Do you need to rest?"
Su Mo shook his head and said, "No!"
The blue-robed young man walked up to the battle platform and said solemnly: "Chen Jue, disciple of the outer sect of Zixiao Peak, please advise!"
"Please!"
Spit out a word, and the Shadow Sword came out of his hand, like a streamer of sparks, directly taking Chen Jue's eyebrows.
"Good time!"
Chen Jue shouted, the long knife slashed horizontally, repelled the short sword, and then approached, the long knife was raised high, and he slashed at the top of Su Mo's head with all his might.
Su Mo frowned slightly, he didn't dare to slack off, his palms were folded, and he slowly pulled it away, and a purple gold sword lotus bloomed in front of him, rising against the storm, and resisting the blade.
Immediately afterwards, Su Mo's body leaned forward, the yuan power in his body surged, and the golden light in his left palm flowed, as bright as glass, and suddenly slapped towards Chen Jue's dantian!
Feeling the violent fluctuations contained in the palm print, Chen Jue's face changed greatly, his knees were bent, shaped like an eagle stepping, his feet collided with the palm print, and he swayed up with his strength, trying to distance the two.
Su Mo didn't give him a chance, jumped up, and chased after him like a ghost, and at the same time, a little cold light condensed on his fingertips, volleying into the void.
Chen Jue waved his knife to block, taking advantage of the momentum to move sideways, and at the same time, the thunder and lightning in his left hand surrounded, turning into a three-foot electric snake and rushing straight to Su Mo's front door!
"Tsk, you are worthy of being a disciple of Taixuan Sect, just this thunder method attainment, it is much stronger than the foundation building and scattered cultivation outside!" Su Mo admired in his heart, his wrist flipped, and two drops of clear water floated in the palm of his hand, extending into a thin water curtain, enveloping and swallowing the electric snake.
The two of them went back and forth on the battle platform, the thunder magic fire tricks were endless, and the people with swords and swords flashed were dazzled, and they almost exhausted their means, but it was still difficult to tell the winner.
Time passed, two hundred moves had passed, and Su Mo's calm expression was a little anxious.
This Chen Jue is really too difficult, his cultivation realm is not low, he has rich experience in fighting, all kinds of tricks are at his fingertips, and his sword skills are profound, he can attack and retreat, and he can defend, just like a hedgehog, which makes people helpless.
Chen Jue also has a solemn gaze, has been practicing for more than ten years, and with the support of his family and sect, as well as the qualifications of the innate thunder attribute spiritual root, he firmly occupies the top ten positions in the outer gate of Zixiao Peak.
I thought that this assessment would be able to successfully join the Law Enforcement Palace, and with the help of the unique spiritual pool resources of the Law Enforcement Palace, I would break through to the Foundation Building Realm as soon as possible and become an inner disciple, but I never thought that all my plans would be disrupted by a new disciple who had just entered the sect.
"No, I can't lose!"
Chen Jue let out a low roar, the muscles of his whole body tensed, and the nine pure Yuan forces swam away like a dragon, surging out, turning into layers of thunder light, intertwined with each other, like a curtain, and closed towards Su Mo.
"The thunder and lightning in the sky seem to be scattered, but in fact, he himself is the center, secretly combining the trapping and killing formation. I didn't expect that this Chen Jue was not only proficient in the thunder method, but also knew how to fight in battle, which should not be underestimated!" Su Mo waved his big sleeves, and nine silver light swords were suspended above his head, in the form of a nine-star dazzling moon formation, and the sword roared like a dragon, clanging, shocking.
"Curse the evil!"
With two words in his mouth, Su Mo took a step forward and walked in the air, and a silver light rose to the sky!
Chen Jue's heart was terrified, and he pressed the impulse of a hand-to-hand decisive battle, and the magic seal in his hand changed, leading to several thunderbolts, colliding and entanglement with the silver light, and at the same time, the blue light in his eyes flowed, capturing the movement trajectory of the silver light, deducing and calculating in his mind, trying to find out the flaws.
Su Mo continued to move forward, raised his left hand, pressed it through the void, and said softly: "Slay the demon!"
One sword becomes two swords, and two swords become three swords.
One step at a time, the nine swords descended, and the sword light in the sky was full of light, enveloping the heavens and the earth.
"Come on, come on!"
Seeing that he couldn't find the flaw and won by skill, Chen Jue roared in the sky, desperate, the long knife in his hand flew, and the golden light was sheng, like a golden Jiao swimming away in the void, wrapped in thunder in the sky, and slammed into the sword array.
The dense explosion sound was endless, and the aftermath of the fury swept and stirred, if it weren't for the protection of the big array, this battle platform made of dark iron would probably collapse in the hands of the two outer disciples!
Chen Jue fell to the ground, his face turned pale, he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sighed: "I lost." ”
Su Mo, who had scattered black hair, put away his sword when he heard this, sat down cross-legged on the spot, rolled his throat, suppressed the surging qi and blood, and silently breathed.
