Chapter 120: Slaying the Enemy
The three great killing moves of the Qing Shui Palace, the first two are wide-range, sweeping moves that kill indiscriminately, only the final "Nu Tao Ji Tian" is a pinpoint attack, a supreme killing move that breaks through with a single point. However, Mu Yuan has practiced the Chao Xi Liu, and the "Cang Lang Shui Jian" is also a top-notch sword technique that emphasizes change. Although Mu Yuan hasn't yet reached the level of creating his own unique sword techniques, under the guidance of his master, he can still make some adjustments to this move.
Originally, swordsmanship emphasizes adaptability and variability, with no fixed sword moves, especially in the Water Path's kung fu, which is all about adapting to circumstances!
Fierce sword energy converged into two thick, illusory giant swords, splitting and killing the two people!
Another person was originally entangled by Shangguan Waterclear, and the magic of Qingyun Palace was indeed persistent and relentless. Although it wasn't sharp, its tenacity was extremely strong. The opponent's ice-cold magic couldn't compare to Shangguan Waterclear's, and after being struck by Mu Yuan's sword, he let out a startled cry. His hand held an icy sword that clashed with the incoming attack, causing a loud explosion.
The fire-refining monster that confronted Mokuren earlier was even more miserable. Most of Mokuren's sword energy was spent on this monster, which was extremely impoverished and not as good as the White Wolf Monster he met in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, who at least had a weapon with a blade. These two monsters were using their own true energy to condense into blades! The ice sword exploded, the fire sword also collapsed and scattered, and this monster was cut down by Mokuren's single sword at the waist, fresh blood gushing out, unable to stand steadily, and actually fell from mid-air!
Whoosh!
Just then a sharp whistling sound pierced the air, and the demon that had been stabbed by Mu Yuan was penetrated by an unknown black arrow flying from somewhere, its heart shattered, its body dead!
Mu Yuan followed the sound and saw that the foolishly honest man had already defeated his opponent, and surprisingly used his hair to turn into arrows, easily killing this demon as well!
The demon who failed to form the elixir, once his physical body dies, his divine consciousness will also gradually disperse, unless he cultivates the internal elixir and has a chance of rebirth through possession, but this demon is done for!
The honest Hanzi killed the monster and flew over, laughing and saying, "Good fellow, your swordsmanship is quite fierce!"
Muyuan had a good impression of this man and smiled in response, "Just call me Muyuan!"
That man grinned and said, "My name is Tie Ling!"
Mu Yuan smiled and said, "Let's deal with these few monsters first!" As he spoke, the sword light flashed again, and the overwhelming sword energy fell on another monster's head!
"Hmm!" Iron Ling's iron wings fluttered rapidly behind him, and in an instant, he closed in on the monster's side. His hands transformed into two iron hammers, swinging back and forth, creating a whirlwind that swept away the monster's icy cold air. Originally, this monster had its ice sword shattered by Mu Yuan, although it reformed another one, but with the death of the other monster, it was greatly shocked, its mind in disarray. Surrounded by the three of them, the demonic energy around its body was broken one after another. Letting out a loud cry, it endured two blasts of sword energy before turning tail and fleeing without looking back!
Mu Yuan smiled in his heart, and in an instant, the three of them broke through four monsters. The morale was greatly boosted, but the situation was still not optimistic. Long Yin Dashi himself fought against the Peacock Demon, Fang Shen Shu Sheng fought one against three, while the other two were entangled with four monsters and couldn't get down!
Just now, the Peacock Demon was empty-handed, but now there is a round and bright pearl in his hand. The water vapor is overflowing, the light is soaring, and inside it shows fourteen water dragon shapes, rolling back and forth. The pearl shines with strange light, the phantom light flows away, soft and unparalleled, and it just suppresses the Golden Vajra Dharma of Dragon Hiding Great Master!
Muyuan suddenly felt that Shangguan Shuqing's body was trembling beside her, and she hastily asked, "Shangguan sister, what's wrong?"
Shangguan Shuiqing gritted his teeth and said, "Junior brother, don't you recognize this? This is the Water Spirit Pearl of our sect. Before leaving Qing Shui Palace, Master gave it to Liu Shixiong to take with him. Unfortunately, last time we were ambushed by Peacock King and lost our sect's treasure. Who would have thought that this demon king would refine it and use its power here?"
"What's the treasure of Qing Shui Palace?" Mu Yuan's mind flashed with a thought, and Tie Ling also heard this and angrily said. "You even dared to snatch your own treasure, today we'll take it back!"
With a loud shout, the golden energy on his body surged, and his eyes shot out a fierce light. Amidst the battlefield, the Peacock King's five-colored aura suddenly fluctuated, and Iron Ling's gaze pierced through, breaking open the Peacock Demon King's protective aura and cutting off a lock of his hair!
"How bold!"
The Peacock King let out a cold shout, the Water Spirit Pearl in his hand shone brightly, and the fourteen water dragons inside it rolled violently. The mist that appeared out of thin air suddenly turned into a vast fog that covered the sky and earth, trapping Dragon Hidden Master's Angry Golden Vajra within. It was unable to break free, its golden light rising and falling as the surrounding fog also rose and fell. Seizing this opportunity, the Peacock King let out a soft whistle and pounced over to make a fatal blow!
In an instant, Mu Yuan's mind was struck with a sudden burst of energy, and the iron ling beside him let out a loud roar. A blinding white light suddenly erupted from his dantian, causing the golden energy within tens of miles to surge violently. The arrows, spears, swords, and knives that had fallen to the ground shot up into the air, gathering around him in an instant before being melted away, merging into a flowing liquid metal that tightly enveloped his body, transforming into a suit of armor as he moved. At the same time, he pushed his martial skills to the extreme, clenching his fists and breathing out a fierce aura, suddenly transforming into a gigantic divine sword three zhang long!
The Peacock King was originally wrapped in a dazzling five-colored light, but now he rushed over and scattered the light around him, revealing a clear and handsome face. His limbs were long and slender, his body proportionate, and he was an uncommonly beautiful man. However, Mu Yuan didn't have time to appreciate this, as the Peacock King's powers were formidable, and without any magical tools in hand, he had no chance of winning against the previous demon that had already reached the Dan stage. Fortunately, the Peacock King was being held back by Dragon Hiding Great Master, and with Tie Ling and Shangguan Water Clear by his side, the three of them combined might still have a glimmer of hope!
The eighteen talismans on the Broken Void Sword were fully activated by Mu Yuan's full force, emitting a light that surpassed the sun and moon. The true energy of clear water surged around him, forming a massive whirlpool in front of him. The clear light was dazzlingly intense as it burst forth, causing the sword to tremble slightly in mid-air. Dozens of sword moves merged into one, unleashing the Clear Water Palace's "Furious Tides Strike the Heavens" with a deafening explosion!
Shangguan's clear water originally flew a broken sword, and there was no magical instrument in his hand. His pretty face turned cold, and he ruthlessly pushed out the true energy that had been condensed to his fingertips!
Three people joined forces, and the figure of King Peacock's swift flight collided with each other, instantly forming a highly rotating light vortex. Mu Yuan's steady figure was attracted by it, and he couldn't help but stumble forward several times before pouncing forward!
All sorts of different forces, tearing, rotating, pushing and grinding... The whole person seems to be torn apart, beside him are all kinds of strange auras, the force revolves, Mu Yuan lets out a loud shout, the clear light in his dantian bursts forth, the whole person seems to have turned into a flowing stream, regardless of the changes in the river course, I just go with the flow, my spirit is not scattered!
The true meaning of Qingliu's mind-cleansing technique lies in its ability to adapt and flow with the situation, just like the tides. Although it may seem different from other techniques, it shares a common ground. Mu Yuan has been studying this technique for a short time and hasn't fully grasped its intricacies yet. However, now that she's in a precarious situation, surrounded by powerful forces bearing down on her, she can't help but move with the flow. She lets go of her self-restraint and allows herself to be swept away by the turbulent waves of energy surrounding her. Her bones and muscles crackle under the pressure, yet amidst the countless waves of energy, she's able to borrow their power and turn with them, dispelling her feelings of frustration!
The true energy circulated outside the body, and Mu Yuan was like a swimming fish, suddenly jumping out of the whirlpool, with his clothes fluttering, he swung his hand and slashed out several sword energies!
Shangguan's water is clear and deep, and he has a thorough understanding of the true meaning of "clear flow washing heart still true". In a short period of time, he also escaped from trouble. Only Tie Ling's true energy was fierce and violent, like a boulder in the water, the energy of Geng Jin burst forth, colliding hard with the surrounding air waves, rumbling and exploding, the whole person stood like a mountain peak, unmoving despite the swirling air waves, white true energy pouring in, hair like steel, clothes like iron, majestic and unshakeable!
Inside, the true energy of Tie Ling wreaks havoc; outside, the sword energy of Mu Yuan breaks through the whirlpool, and the vortex explodes with a loud noise. Tens of thousands of dazzling lights fall like a torrential rain, and everything collapses in all directions!
The Peacock King's attack didn't kill Iron Ling, and he seemed surprised, still posing for a moment. Before he could react, Dragon Hiding Master had already broken open the Water Spirit Pearl, sweeping across the air with his Vajra Pestle, making a loud humming noise that pressed down on him from afar, like Mount Tai crushing him. The Peacock King could only turn around, and a five-colored light appeared in his hand, transforming into a shining shield to withstand the pressure of the Vajra Pestle!
"How detestable, this demon is too overbearing, I have no way to deal with it!" Tie Ling emerged from the whirlpool, the battle armor wrapped around his body flowing down, changing constantly with his mood, scratching his head and humming.
Mu Yuan let out a wry smile, thinking to himself that this demon had already reached the level of Dan Cheng's cultivation. Among their group of three, only Tie Ling had strong combat abilities, but otherwise they really didn't have any methods to contend with this demon!
Again entwined by the Dragon Concealment Master, the Peacock King seemed somewhat irritable, his mouth opened wide and let out a long whistle. The sound waves rolled and echoed through the mountains and valleys, its momentum was overwhelmingly majestic!
"First help Fang Zhishu to kill the opponent, I think only he can help Longyin Master now!" Mu Yuan said in a low voice after considering the situation!
Tie Ling smiled and rushed forward first!
Apart from the female demon surrounded by a fiery red glow at the beginning, there were two other demons wearing cyan leather armor who fought against Fang Zhisheng. These two demons had an extremely close relationship and their appearance and magic were almost identical. Tieling took down these two people. Mu Yuan exchanged a glance with Shangguan Shuqing and also rushed over!
"It's too suffocating like this, let's see if we can find some other means!" Mu Yuan had just gone through a big battle and found that the Qing Shui Palace's spells were mediocre in combat, even inferior to some demon cultivators. He began to ponder which of the various spells stored in the Black Water Gourd could be used!
After some thought, I've decided on the Beiming Water Spell!
After all, Qingliu Xixin is a true formula for waterways, and using Beiming Shui Zhou is the most suitable, without drawing attention!
In the lower abdomen, the black calabash of the dantian was quietly torn open by Mu Yuan, and the yin-yang energy that had been sealed inside suddenly burst out. The dark turtle transformed from the North Ming Water Curse immediately emerged, and with a slight movement of Mu Yuan's mind, the Yin-Yang Locking Qi Great Method retracted once more. However, his own body let out a soft whistle as the North Ming Water Curse swirled around the symbol sword, stabbing out in anger!
These two monsters were covered in a pale green light, and they emitted a faint scent similar to that of fragrant flowers. It was unclear what kind of monster they had transformed into, but their bodies were extremely twisted and flexible, like they had no bones. As soon as Iron Ling approached, he was entwined by them. Despite his powerful strength, his attacks were ineffective, and the two monsters' auras were connected. Although their aura wasn't large, it was incredibly cunning, targeting the weak points of Iron Ling's attacks and counterattacking, avoiding the solid and striking at the empty spaces, rendering Iron Ling's weapons and armor useless, enraging him to no end!
Mù Yuán drew his sword, shattering the air with a mournful cry. The tip of the sword flickered with lightning. After mastering the Five Elements' technique to the point of fusion, one could unleash thunder magic. Although Mù Yuán was currently using Clear Water True Qi, the North Ming Water Curse was condensed from Tide True Qi, allowing him to employ various techniques that manipulated the tides and summon the Water God's Thunder. With a single sword strike, he forced the two monsters apart!
