Dazzling white light burst out from Le Shu's hand, and Yun Qing felt that even his mind had lost its function for a moment. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』

The blazing white light burns away all the filth in the world, and the demonic energy is swept away, replaced by awe-inspiring righteousness. Yun Qing felt almost suffocated. She did not have to use vitality to maintain her life like the immortal or human beings, but the true energy of the demonic path was also vital to her life. If she fell into this state of exhaustion of demonic energy for a long time, it would be very difficult for her. Saying it is harmful is useless.

The mantras kept coming from Le Shu's mouth, and she chanted a prayer loudly like a sacrificial song: "In my holy truth, beggar pity the ignorant; my heart is converted to the sacrament, and I wish to forgive my sins and mistakes!"

The sound was like a loud bell, vibrating between heaven and earth. Yun Qing deliberately refused to listen to it, but the sound was unrelenting and kept pouring into her mind. For a moment, there was only white light in front of her eyes, and all that echoed in her mind were the prayers at the Temple of Heaven. Le Shu's method of transmitting sounds into thoughts is exactly the same as that of a human saint. The range covered by her voice is smaller, but she does not have a sacred artifact like the Heavenly Altar around her. She can affect people's minds by herself. Her accumulation of humanity should be terrifying.

Yun Qing felt that she should have thought of ways to take down her sword from the beginning, instead of going after her, but it was too late to say anything now, and she still had to think of countermeasures.

She kneaded the secret with one hand, and a huge jade barrier stood up from the sky, reflecting all the white light back.

There are countless bevels on the surface of this jade barrier, as if it had just been mined and not polished. The luster of the white jade is warm and clear, with a faint light of its own. After being refracted countless times by these bevels, it turns out to be a masterpiece of light, which is in line with the sword held in Le Shu's hand.

"It seems that Demon Lord is also very accomplished in the inheritance of human nature. There are not many people in my sect who can use the Xuanyuan Jade Art to this extent." Le Shu looked at her with admiration, and then used his backhand to With a stroke of the long sword, the beam of light that penetrated the heaven and earth produced by the long sword instantly shot out around her body.

This light shone on the white jade barrier, as if it had turned into an entity. The two of them directly erupted with an earth-shaking loud noise, and the jade barrier exploded. The white jade was broken into small fragments and scattered on the ground, and then reflected an even finer white light. Yun Qing's whole body was shrouded in this light, and there was no way to avoid it.

"Huang Quan has little talent and little knowledge, and Taoist friends are overly praised." Yun Qing's hands were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen jade barriers rose up, surrounding her from top to bottom, left to right, and airtight. They are all humane spells, but there is a big difference between the humane spells that Yun Qing created using the true energy of the demonic path and the ones like Le Shu that used the true energy of the human nature. Only when you understand the Tao in your heart can you achieve the skill. Yun Qing's understanding of the Gentleman's Qianyuan Tao is obviously not as good as Le Shu's, so it is normal for her to suppress him for a while.

She just wanted to temporarily use these simple and convenient jade barriers to consume the holy light in Le Shu's hands. She could only be willing to at least bring both parties to the same level of consumption.

"If the Demon Lord is said to have little talent and little knowledge, then there are really not many direct descendants in the world who can deserve the term 'endless talent.'" Le Shu's voice was gentle and sincere, and his voice slid into the heart like a clear stream. Just one sentence can remove violence. Qi, calm the soul.

Her expression didn't move at all, and she didn't know whether she couldn't tell that Yun Qing was deliberately consuming her true energy or because he thought he could withstand such a consumption.

Yun Qing's voice came out steadily from the white jade: "Huang Quan can't afford your praise. The light of "Ya*wen*yan*qing*shou*fa" is on the path of human beings. Fellow Taoist Le Daoist has been cultivating for ten years. If you work hard for it, you will be far better than me, let alone talk about a saint who has attained enlightenment in more than a hundred years."

"Life is only a hundred years old. How can the Demon Lord compare the way of immortals and demons with my way of humanity?" Le Shu obviously disagreed with her words. She explained calmly, "If it takes more than a hundred years to achieve enlightenment, then I will wait. It will turn into a pile of loess, but it will not live longer than immortals, demons and monsters. It is really dangerous for my master to be stuck at this pass to enter the Tao, and it is not humane."

What Le Shu said is indeed true. They say that cultivating the human Tao is fast, and that is also compared to other Taoist traditions. If the variable of lifespan is taken into account, it is actually understandable that the human race can cultivate quickly. After all, the lifespan of the human race is only so small. If you can't find a way to run faster, then you probably won't be able to compete with other Taoist traditions. There are many human beings who practice the path of immortals and demons. After entering the Tao, these people can be called true immortals and true demons. To a certain extent, the essence of their lives has changed and they have broken away from the category of human beings.

The biggest difference between these practitioners, true immortals, true demons, ghost kings, and celestial demons, and human sages is their long lifespans. The human race also has unparalleled strong men who dominate the world, but it has never been heard of people with extremely long lifespans. Only ascending to the holy throne can help them escape the shackles of this short period of time.

Yun Qing sighed: "It is not easy to compete with the sky for longevity."

These words told of the vicissitudes of human nature, but Kekeshu was not moved at all. Her smile was still gentle and generous, and the white light around her was as holy as ever. She seemed to have never been sad or distressed because of her own longevity.

She held her sword and smiled at Yun Qing: "The Demon Lord will not understand. Even if I live in a hundred years, I will continue to follow this path for eternity!"

Perhaps it is precisely because life is too short that human beings have a stronger cohesion than all orthodox traditions. In such a short life, we have seen too little of the truth of heaven and earth, but with so many pairs of eyes looking at it and thinking together, we will always gain power that is no less powerful than other orthodox traditions. Humane ancestors record their life's achievements and pass them on to the next generation without reservation, so that they can be passed down from generation to generation without end.

For the human race, the death of an individual is not called death at all. It is just a way of integrating one's life into the race. As long as the human race is immortal, the cultivators of humanity will always live in the blood of everyone.

So what if life is short? There are countless individuals who can be a continuation of humane life.

So what if I die right here? Everyone's will can be immortalized along with the inheritance of humanity!

Therefore, they cherish the lives of spiritual beings, and at the same time they are not afraid of death or sacrifice. As Le Shu said, it is these "hundred years of wasted time" that have created the "endurance" of this Taoism.

"Sounds good." Yun Qing nodded and replied lightly, his expression not necessarily showing much agreement.

Behind the jade barrier, the magic formula in her hand changed rapidly, and the pool of blood quickly spread into a sea of blood. This thick and sweet blood seeped into the warm white jade, the white light was polluted into blood light, and the demonic energy began to erode the awe-inspiring righteousness around Le Shu. Le Shu felt a change in her aura, and quickly turned the sword in his hand, about to split the sea of blood, but his feet suddenly tightened, and an Asura bypassed the heavy white light and pounced directly from below.

Yun Qing had just talked so much with Le Shu, of course, not just to listen to her preaching. She wanted to take the opportunity to distract the other party, so as to seize the flaw and destroy it in one fell swoop.

Le Shu was not good at close combat, so she hurriedly raised her sword to strike down, and Asura immediately turned into ashes. But in this short period of time, the light beam could no longer completely suppress Yun Qing. The demonic aura on her body suddenly surged, and the sacred body of Yama under her feet let out a long roar, and with a wave of her arms, it hit Le Shu, who was entangled with Asura in mid-air.

"A gentleman is like water, whatever is square becomes round!"

A flash of blue light flashed on Le Shu's wrist, and a waterfall pouring down from the sky. The holy body of Yama hit the water, causing countless waves to rise. But Leshu was at the top of the waterfall, and she slid far down along the water's force, suddenly out of the reach of the long arms of the holy body of Yama.

At this time, she was still running away and had no time to hold up the white beam of light, so Yun Qing could see clearly. There is a delicate bracelet on Leshu's wrist, with simple and elegant patterns, like waves and rippling water patterns.

It was the Mi Fei Ring, a relic of the gods. Le Shu lent it to Yun Qing many years ago. At that time, Yun Qing didn't know much about this kind of thing. When Le Shu entered Taoism, he practiced Sui Fang Jue Yuan Jue, which is the way of a gentleman like water. This concubine Mi is the God of the Luoshui River, and she happens to be in harmony with it, so her power is doubled when she uses it.

Yun Qing felt that her hand at condensing water out of thin air was already superb, not to mention that this place was close to the Cangjiang River. If the battlefield was led to that side by her, Yun Qing would definitely not have an advantage. So now she has to trap Leshu in mid-air.

Yun Qing thought so, and immediately took out a small glass cup from her sleeve, tapped it with her index finger, and her figure suddenly appeared behind Le Shu.

Le Shu was in the process of falling, and it was not easy to stop with the impact of the waterfall, not to mention that once she stopped, she had to directly face the sacred body of Yama that was approaching rapidly. Just when she was hesitating whether to stop or go further, Yun Qing was only a palm away from her. Le Shu felt a fierce and ferocious breath coming from behind, and then her throat was held by a cold hand.

Le Shu made a quick decision and struck a sword with his backhand!

At such a close distance, if Yun Qing avoided it, Le Shu might escape, so Yun Qing didn't dodge at all, and the sword passed directly through his abdomen. Because the blade was extremely sharp, not much blood was shed for a while. The benevolence of the gentleman on Leshu's sword surged into her meridians. At the same time, the demonic energy in her hand also surged, and Leshu was choked by her until she couldn't say a word.

Yun Qing followed her down silently, even moving her body closer. The sword in Le Shu's hand was almost hilt-less. She felt the burning blood on her hand, and the demonic aura became stronger and stronger. Le Shu couldn't remember how much blood Yun Qing had shed during the whole fight, but the amount was definitely enough to endanger her life, but now she was holding on to herself as if she didn't care about the injury at all.

Le Shu had to admire the opponent's adaptability and bravery during the battle. From the beginning, she consumed her vitality with the Xuanyuan Jade Transformation Technique, to preparing for a sneak attack while distractedly talking about Taoism, to then cleanly engaging in close combat after the sneak attack was successful, the whole process was as smooth as flowing clouds, and every step was as smooth as breathing. Natural and accurate.

Le Shu has been keenly aware that the other party is not only "good at fighting", but also greedy for this feeling of wandering between life and death and then deciding between life and death. She is "enjoying fighting".

"Demon Lord, do you dare to try? Try to see whether your demonic energy will cut off my vitality first, or whether my gentleman's holy power will destroy your foundation first!" Le Shu spoke without any killing intent, pointing to the place where the long sword in her hand was pointing. It was never a matter of life and death, but for Yun Qing, it would be better to kill her if her foundation was destroyed.

Yun Qing laughed, his voice close to her ear, and Le Shu felt that there was a creepy sense of pleasure in her tone.

Yun Qing smiled and said, "Why don't you dare?"

The force in her hands became more and more fierce and cruel, and the physical damage was not enough to completely kill a Taoist cultivator unless Yun Qing burned her to ashes. Now Yun Qing must pour the demonic energy into the opponent's meridians, and then detonate them together, so that the opponent can be completely destroyed.

It was the first time that Le Shu was so close to death, but she still looked calm and peaceful. Being able to die calmly is also a major characteristic of humane cultivators.

Le Shu's breathing gradually slowed down, and her meridians were filled with violent and manic demonic energy. Blood oozed from her mouth and nose, and her cervical vertebrae made a snapping sound. Yun Qing behind her was pierced by a long sword, and the light from the sword almost broke through her body. The closer she was to death, the stronger her humane will was. Yun Qing felt that the pain of this destruction from the inside out was unbearable. .

"Yang Quan listens to the order—"

"Yang Quan listens to the order—"

"Yang Quan listens to the order—"

A cold and forbidding voice came from the southern sky, and an extremely powerful force enveloped the two people who were close to exhaustion, and then roughly separated them. A huge black sword penetrated the sky and the earth, directly nailing the holy body of Yama to the ground. The monstrous demonic flames instantly suppressed Junzi Qianyuan Dao's aura, and the world suddenly fell into darkness.

Yun Qing fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, a large amount of water flowed to the ground, and the force of the collision was somewhat dispersed by the water flow, so there was no serious injury. Le Shu was better than her. When she landed, she had time to use the Taixu Fengyu Technique to slow down, and she knelt down about ten meters away from Yun Qing, lowering her head and coughing.

"What order are you listening to?" Yun Qing asked calmly.

The demon general in black armor fell next to her, his blood-red cloak dancing in the wind. He stepped on the sword next to Yun Qing's abdomen. Yun Qing felt that his blood was almost drained, and he didn't seem to have any mercy.

"Inherit the sect leader's order to return to the sect immediately without delay." Yi Du said indifferently, and then reached out to draw the sword for her.

Yun Qing wanted to stop him very much, but now he was still stepping on him. With the overwhelming force on her body, she couldn't move at all.

"It's not like seven years..." Yun Qing's last words were swallowed by herself, because Yi Du directly pushed the sword in hard, and the hilt was not even halfway through.

Le Shu couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up and said, "Senior, let me get it."

Yi Du turned around and glanced at her, then pulled out the sword and threw it to Le Shu: "Go away, I don't want to fight with this junior."

Le Shu glanced awkwardly at Yun Qing, who was bleeding violently on the ground. He didn't know what to say goodbye, and finally had to leave silently with his sword.

Yun Qing took a big breath, and every breath seemed like his last breath. Under Yi Du's cold gaze, she slowly changed into the Rihei True Flame, and then used the Rihei True Flame to burn the wound on her abdomen.
