The sword formations overlapped each other and extended infinitely in the void, as if giving birth to another void.
The Demon Lord had already penetrated deep into Lu Xiaochan's inner palace, but was washed out by the endless sea of elixir and sucked into the sword formation.
Its spirit was being unravelled and disintegrated!
The demon king knew that his time was up, so he smiled and said to Lu Xiaochan, "Do you know... that the obsessive and evil thoughts in this world can never be completely eliminated? If there is a will... there is an obsession?"
Another sword array landed on the Demon Lord's forehead, crushing it completely.
"I know. So it's too hard to eliminate obsession, so why not accept it?"
Just like Shu Wuxi is in my heart, his obsession is my obsession.
He made me risk my own life.
The sword formation closed in an instant, and countless evil spirits and the demon king guarding the "hopeless" land were refined into deep blue elixirs, which fell right into the palm of Lu Xiaochan's outstretched hand.
The elixir glowed in all directions, as if there was a trickle of water circulating in it.
Lu Xiaochan retracted her fingers, wondering whether she should leave it to Shu Wuxi.
Then think again, what is there to keep
I'm fine, and he's fine too!
Lu Xiaochan swallowed it in one gulp. The elixir fell into Lu Xiaochan's inner body and merged with Lu Xiaochan's elixir sea.
Lu Xiaochan closed his eyes and let out a breath, feeling relaxed all over. He even wished that the evil god Hun Dun was right in front of him so that he could take care of it as well!
"The sword formation I just used to refine the Demon Lord was so powerful! What should I call it?"
Shu Wuxi's sword formations all have very imposing names like "Chongxiao" and "Tianque".
Lu Xiaochan finally used his own sword formation, um...
The water was flowing back into the Tailing Zhenyuan, and then from this magic weapon, it flowed in all directions, forming rivers and converging into the sea.
"Yuan Ze." Lu Xiaochan touched his chin.
Broken walls and ruins are ruins. A marsh is a marsh that benefits all living things.
It can destroy everything and also give new life. Isn’t that the power of water
Obsession is like water.
One thought leads to life, one thought leads to the devil.
Lu Xiaochan lowered her head and realized that the Traceless Sword in her hand had changed.
The previous Traceless Sword was just a preliminary form of a sword and had not been sharpened at all.
But at this moment, the sword was sharp yet soft. When Lu Xiaochan touched it with her fingers, the blade that looked like it could cut hair did not hurt her hand. It even made a light sound, as if water was flowing in the sword.
Lu Xiaochan was stunned—could it be that this traceless sword had been sharpened
My sword is sharpened!
No, it’s me, Lu Xiaochan, who has finally gotten the idea!
"Brother Wuxi..."
Lu Xiaochan's ecstasy was instantly extinguished because Shu Wuxi was not by his side.
He wanted to go back! He wanted to let Shu Wuxi see his sword!
Lu Xiaochan couldn't wait to tell Shu Wuxi the good news.
But how to leave this "hopeless" place
Lu Xiaochan lowered his eyes and looked at the hopeless land. Perhaps it was because his cultivation had greatly increased after he had refined the Demon Lord that he could actually clearly see the wisps of evil energy crisscrossing beneath the earth veins.
"This... seems to be a formation?"
Lu Xiaochan flew away from this evil formation on his sword. The farther away he was, the more he could see the whole picture.
And in the far distance of this void, Lu Xiaochan saw a ray of spiritual light that was crushed by the evil energy and was unable to resist and was about to fall into the depths of the void.
Lu Xiaochan narrowed her eyes and was shocked.
—Mo Qianqiu!
Lu Xiaochan flew away on his sword at an unprecedented speed, breaking through the numerous obstructions of evil spirits. He lightly tapped the Wuxi Sword with his toes, and countless sword formations were launched, refining them along the way.
The sword formation that suppressed Mo Qianqiu was extremely powerful. Apart from Shu Wuxi, it was the first time that Lu Xiaochan had seen such a powerful sword formation. It was like towering mountains falling from the sky!
Damn it!
How can such a hopeless place have so many evil masters!
Let me try out the power of my new sword formation!
Lu Xiaochan exerted all his strength and activated the Yuanze Sword Formation. He had just refined the Demon Lord, and his cultivation had increased dramatically. The power of the sword formation was even greater than before!
A crack immediately appeared in the sword formation that trapped Mo Qianqiu. Lu Xiaochan flew in on his sword, grabbed Mo Qianqiu with one hand, caught his Qianqiu sword with the other hand, and flew out.
"Mo Qianqiu! Wake up for me!"
Lu Xiaochan pushed her knee upwards and hit Mo Qianqiu in the abdomen.
Mo Qianqiu coughed violently and came to his senses.
"Lu... Lu Xiaochan..."
"Do you know where this place is?" Lu Xiaochan growled.
Another sword formation came, with the force to move mountains and rivers. Lu Xiaochan controlled his sword to resist, but his sword formation resisted with the force of a flood and was knocked out by the opponent, and his inner palace was about to be blown out.
"Amazing… "
There was a buzzing in Lu Xiaochan's ears, and the traceless sword in his hand was also vibrating.
Fortunately, I didn't leave the elixir I refined to Shu Wuxi, otherwise he might be dead now!
Mo Qianqiu hooked his finger, and the Qianqiu Sword flew over and landed at his feet. He said loudly, "Hao Fu, I thought you were always upright. Maybe you have been possessed by a demon, and your character has changed. You can only attack from behind."
Mo Qianqiu curled the corners of his mouth, and his voice was filled with his usual teasing and mockery.
Lu Xiaochan was stunned. He pulled Mo Qianqiu and said, "What did you say? Who?"
"Xiyuan Sword Sect's Hao Fu. This coward has been hiding for more than a thousand years under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries." Mo Qianqiu said with a smile.
Lu Xiaochan frowned.
Back then, the Xiyuan Sword Sect was severely damaged by Shu Wuxi's "Asking the Sky" sword formation in the Wuyi Realm Sky, and was destroyed before returning to Xiyuan.
It was Hao Fu who escorted him all the way back.
But... Lu Xiaochan remembered that the two sword masters from Nanli and Xiyuan were the ones who faced Shu Wuxi's "Asking the Sky" sword formation head-on, while Miaochen Yuanjun, who followed his master to participate in that battle, only suffered a great loss of essence and recovered after a hundred years of cultivation.
Why are Hao Fu’s injuries so serious
More importantly, if the one attacking them was Hao Fu... could they win
"Should we just run away?" Lu Xiaochan said, tilting his head.
Just as he finished speaking, Mo Qianqiu hit him on the back of his head.
"I even called you 'Master', can you be any more useless?"
Yes, where can you escape to
At this moment, a cloaked figure walked out from the crack in the darkness.
His aura was different from others. Although he had a strong spiritual energy, he was surrounded by a heavy black aura.
Moreover, she is different from Lianyue Yuanjun.
Lianyue Yuanjun's spiritual energy was only trapped by the evil energy, but was not occupied by it.
But the person in front of him is different. His spiritual energy is intertwined with evil energy.
Inside his body... it seems...
Lu Xiaochan immediately grabbed Mo Qianqiu and pulled him back.
"He has been invaded by the Demon Lord!"
"What?" Mo Qianqiu was stunned, looking at the figure, "How is this possible? He is a straight-forward person, not good at adapting..."
The brim of the man's cloak was pulled down so low that only his lips and chin were visible.
But even so, we knew he was a handsome young man.
The corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled gently.
"Qianqiu, it turns out that you have a good impression of me."
He raised his head slowly.
At that moment, Mo Qianqiu's heart trembled violently and he showed an expression of disbelief.
"What's wrong... Is he Hao Fu?" Lu Xiaochan could only see that this man was very evil.
Half of the face was dignified and elegant because of spiritual energy, while the other half was completely covered by evil spirit.
"Am I ugly?" Hao Fu took another step forward.
Mo Qianqiu's fingers were trembling: "You...your face..."
"It was destroyed." Hao Fu replied indifferently.
Lu Xiaochan turned her head to the side. Could it be that Hao Fu had injured his face in the battle between immortals and demons
That's impossible. Lu Xiaochan remembered that day when he returned to Wuyi Realm, he saw Hao Fu supporting his master. His face was fine at that time!
"What happened?" Mo Qianqiu asked with a frown.
"What happened? What happened to me, do you really care?"
Hao Fu stepped forward and reached out to touch Mo Qianqiu's face.
Mo Qianqiu pushed Lu Xiaochan behind him with one hand and faced Hao Fu.
"The battle at Wenxiantai ended our friendship. I really don't care what happened to you, but I am curious."
Lu Xiaochan muttered in her heart, Oh my Lord Qianqiu Palace, if you say a few nice words to Haofu, will you go to heaven
Why do you say you don't care
If he gets angry and takes our lives, that would be a huge loss!
Hao Fu finally stopped at the edge of Mo Qianqiu's cheek, just a hair's breadth away.
"In the battle of Wenxiantai, you lost to me, and people in the world accused you of flirting with my junior sister, and said you acted erratically and had evil intentions. I know these are all prejudices, and I also know that even if I lose to you one day, the world will still say that I let you, and that you bewitched Xiyuan's palm sword, and you will still be criticized by the world."
Mo Qianqiu protected Lu Xiaochan and retreated again.
"I know you're in trouble."
"You know I'm in trouble, why don't you see me anymore?"
Hao Fu's originally lonely voice suddenly rose up, and it was full of hatred.
Mo Qianqiu raised the corner of his mouth and asked coldly: "You really don't understand why I don't see you?"
"Is it because of my junior sister Chun Ningjun? Everything started because she used her innocence to frame you, right?"
Mo Qianqiu remained silent, but he could look frankly into Hao Fu's already cloudy eyes.
Hao Fu gnashed his teeth and said, "I brought my seriously injured master back to Xiyuan, and Chun Ning Jun couldn't wait to pick me up. I thought you would be the one I would meet after returning from the bloodbath! But you didn't come! Even though you knew that I might be annihilated in this battle, you never came to see me from beginning to end!"
Lu Xiaochan was surprised. He stood behind Mo Qianqiu, patted his shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "I remember... you flew to Wuyi Realm on a sword! But you didn't make it in time..."
Mo Qianqiu still didn't say anything and pressed Lu Xiaochan's head.
"Then what did you do?" Mo Qianqiu's voice was still cold.
"Hahahaha! Hahaha!" Hao Fu suddenly burst into laughter.
His laughter was desolate, and it was unclear whether he was laughing at the fickleness of the world or at himself.
"Mr. Chun Ning asked me if the Master of Qianqiu Palace had reached the realm of intentionlessness? Did that bastard Mo Qianqiu die?"
Hao Fu's eyes were filled with hatred. He clutched his chest and said, "She made me want to hurt the person I care about most in public! I survived the disaster, and she still wanted to verbally trample on me in front of me! I want her life!"
At that moment, Lu Xiaochan saw another black, crazy and murderous shadow from Hao Fu's body. It was roaring and struggling, trying to control Hao Fu's body and kill everyone it wanted to kill!
Is... is it the Demon Lord Lu Li...
Could it be that this is the true form of the Demon Lord Lu Li, who has been inside the body of Xiyuan Sword Sect's Hao Fu all along
It has been more than a day or two since Jian Zong was possessed by the devil, and his body almost completely belongs to the Demon Lord Lu Li!
"You didn't kill Chun Ning Jun, did you? I haven't heard from her for a long time. She was your junior sister, but she didn't even attend the selection of the Palm Sword, which was such a big event."
"You want to know what happened to her? I wanted to kill her that day, but my master tried his best to save her. If it weren't for my master's connivance, how could Chun Ningjun have the courage to frame you? So I cut her face open with my sword and spiritual energy in front of my master!"
After hearing this, Lu Xiaochan felt a chill down her spine.
Wounds cut by spiritual energy will be difficult to heal unless one's cultivation is higher than that of the opponent.
Hao Fu's cultivation back then was far superior to Chun Ning Jun's. Chun Ning Jun's face will never heal, and will only get more and more festering.
He had heard of Hao Fu's reputation. Although he was conservative and unwilling to adapt, he was upright and honest, a rare gentleman in Jianmen.
But...but why is the resentment so deep
“So… the previous Xiyuan Sword Sect leader was not seriously injured and killed by the possessed Yang Cang, but was angered to death by you.” Mo Qianqiu said.
"Yes! He drew his sword to stop me, but the sword energy only grazed my face and pierced Chun Ning Jun! Hahahaha"
Hao fell forward and laughed.
The sword energy of the previous Xiyuan Sword Sect was the reason why Hao Fu’s right face was destroyed.
Lu Xiaochan and Mo Qianqiu could guess what happened next without Hao Fu saying anything.
To understand what happened after Hao Fu returned to Xiyuan, we only need to say that the Xiyuan Sword Sect exhausted its essence in the battle between immortals and demons and died on the way back.
He naturally inherited the position of Sword Sect, and Chun Ning Jun also died. No one knew what happened at that time.
If we want to trace when Hao Fu became possessed by the devil, it can be traced back to the realm of nothingness.
He had personally witnessed Yangcang's "Asking the Sky" sword formation, felt the earth-shaking murderous aura of Wuyi's sword sea entering the formation, and was enraged by Chunning Jun when he was exhausted and physically and mentally injured. His murderous intention attracted the demon king Lu Li, and he could not withstand the demon king's temptation, indulged himself, and became a demon.
"When I was still the Sword Master of Xiyuan, everyone said that I would be the future Sword Master of Xiyuan, so I had to be upright and decisive, and set an example for the Sword Master of Xiyuan! So when people said that my lover was frivolous, I would punish him! When people said that my lover was disrespectful to Xiyuan, I would expel him! I said to myself, if I sit on the throne of the Sword Master of Xiyuan one day, I will make them pay with their blood one by one!"
“So you attracted the evil spirit of the Demon City and turned the Chongluan Palace into the Soul Refining Cauldron. The Xiyuan Sword Selection was just a bait. Those who can enter the Chongluan Palace have strong cultivation. But once you come in, you will enter the Soul Refining Cauldron!” Mo Qianqiu clenched his fists.
Hao Fu smiled and looked at him: "Why are you so worried? Didn't I ask Zhao Lan to lead you out? I would not be willing to refine you even if I refine anyone else. But the person behind you, I must kill him! His Dan Yuan is filled with chaotic karma fire!"
Mo Qianqiu held his sword horizontally and said coldly: "You want his life, unless I die-"
Hao Fu suddenly grabbed Mo Qianqiu's neck, lifted him up and laughed.
"Qianqiu, there are no living beings here. Are you going to use your own soul to save him? If you die and take away your own soul, what's the point?"
Mo Qianqiu still did not put down his sword, but just stared at Hao Fu coldly.
Hao Fu also stared at Mo Qianqiu, his expression gradually becoming colder and colder: "You despise me."
"Yes, I disdain it." Mo Qianqiu replied.
"You are still the same as before, not telling a single lie, and not even bothering to avoid it. Even if it offends the whole world, you have to be yourself. One thousand three hundred years ago, it was you who issued a challenge to Chun Ning Jun. One thousand three hundred years later today, I issue a challenge to you. There is no need to ask the immortal platform, and there is no need for everyone to watch the fight! Just need Li Che Jun to see it!"
Hao Fu threw Mo Qianqiu out, and Lu Xiaochan quickly caught him.
Mo Qianqiu whispered, "Go quickly, I'll hold him back."
"Go away! He just wants me to watch you get killed by him!"
Lu Xiaochan looked at Hao Fu and said loudly, "People should understand when they live, and they should understand when they die! Tell me, how did I, Lu Xiaochan, provoke you? You want to kill Mo Qianqiu in front of me, isn't it just to make me sad?"
"Because he carries the breath you exhaled close to him!"
Hao stepped forward and struck out with a sword, knocking Lu Xiaochan and Mo Qianqiu far away.
Fortunately, the Wuhen Sword protected her and the sword formation was activated in an instant, otherwise Lu Xiaochan would have been reduced to ashes while holding Mo Qianqiu!
"Even if I have to die, I don't want to die with you!"
Blood was oozing out from between Lu Xiaochan's fingers as he gripped the sword.
He really needed a good hilt to alleviate the spiritual shock.
"Because he rushed to Wuyi Realm not to see me, but to save you!"
Hao Fu attacked with another sword formation, and Lu Xiaochan once again formed a formation to resist. This time, his wrist was almost broken!
"Because he cried for your extinction, but he didn't want to see me again!"
The force of Hao Fu's Heavy Owl Sword came crashing down, and Lu Xiaochan pushed Tai Ling Zhen Yuan out. A flood of water flowed into the formation, and the Yuan Ze Sword Formation opened, but it did not collide head-on with the Heavy Owl Sword Formation. Instead, it attached to it, as if the vast ocean had taken on the power of the collapsing mountains and rocks. The huge spiritual pressure made Lu Xiaochan and Mo Qianqiu raise their arms to block in front of them.
"What a fuss! You are just jealous and envious!" Lu Xiaochan yelled. He grabbed Mo Qianqiu by the collar and shouted, "Disciple - teach this lunatic a lesson! Accept his challenge! I want to see with my own eyes that even if Xiyuan Sword Sect is possessed by a demon, it is still no match for you, Mo Qianqiu!"
"Are you crazy?" Mo Qianqiu grabbed Lu Xiaochan and widened his eyes.
"Not crazy. Who says that in a hopeless place, you have no power to borrow?"
Lu Xiaochan patted Mo Qianqiu on the shoulder.
"What can I borrow? With my cultivation level, I can't even borrow Hao Fu's spirit! Do you want to see it with your own eyes? Do you want to see me being beaten to ashes by him?"
"Turn around." Lu Xiaochan said.
"Turn around?" Mo Qianqiu turned around and was immediately hit on the back of his head by Lu Xiaochan.
"Why are you so stupid? So stupid? Am I not a living person?"
When Lu Xiaochan said this, Mo Qianqiu's eyes widened and he grabbed Lu Xiaochan's shoulders.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Even if I were to borrow my own spirit, I would not use yours!"
Hao Fu lowered his head and smiled sinisterly: "Yes, because in Mo Qianqiu's eyes, your life is more important than his own. If I borrow your spirit and I break the sword formation, your spirit will be destroyed and you will never wake up - how can he bear it?"
Lu Xiaochan glanced at Mo Qianqiu, who said coldly, "Why don't you get out of here? Who asked you to fight for me?"
"Hao Fu became a demon because you would grieve for me, but would never see him again until death. So today's battle is not just a battle between you and Hao Fu. Mo Qianqiu, I believe you." Lu Xiaochan said.
"You believe me? What do you believe in me? Hao Fu has reached the first level of great power, and I am just borrowing his power."
"Then borrow my spirit and join the trend." Lu Xiaochan said.
"What did you say?"
"I am willing to lend you my spirit. Mo Qianqiu, no matter how many thousands of years it takes, you and I will fight side by side. This may be your only chance. I will protect you with my spirit, and you will rush into the realm of great power to save me. Do you dare or not?"
"Aren't you afraid that you will never wake up?" Mo Qianqiu asked.
"I'm afraid. Because I still want to see my brother Wuxi. But you are Mo Qianqiu! What makes you sacrifice your life is not just love, but also righteousness! If you have great righteousness towards me, you must destroy the Lu Li in Hao Fu's body!"
Mo Qianqiu closed his eyes, and he suddenly remembered the moment when he flew his sword straight up to the sky of Wuyi Realm and watched Li Che being burned by the karmic fire and turned into ashes.
He cried for the first time. For the first time, he felt that everything he trusted and cared about, as well as all the joy and freedom, were also burned up by the chaotic fire of karma.
For more than 1,300 years, he had a smile on his lips, but his heart had never smiled again.
I also have an obsession.
Because I had little ability before, you flew too high and too far, I couldn't save you.
This time, you are by my side and I will save you.
"Hao Fu, I will fight you today! Regardless of life or death, this is the end of the battle between you and me!"
Mo Qianqiu held the Qianqiu sword in his hand, turned his wrist, and pointed his finger at the tip of the sword.
His heart is like a rock, unshakable.
"Qianqiu, let's feel the pain again." Hao Fu showed a fierce expression.
The Heavy Owl Sword Formation rose from the ground, and the power of the mountains, rivers and land all poured into the formation.
Sand and rocks were flying, and the earth was shaking.
Even the Chongluan Palace was shaking violently. People were in a panic, not knowing what was going on.
Mo Qianqiu took a breath, looked back at Lu Xiaochan, and asked with a smile, "Are you scared?"
The heavy owl sword formation continued to condense, covering the sky and the earth, almost crossing the entire Xiyuan ground fissure.
"I'm afraid--I'm afraid you'll cry again, you fool!"
As the Qianqiu Sword was swung, Lu Xiaochan felt that her soul was leaving her body, but she did not feel any pain. On the contrary, the Qianqiu Sword did not have any murderous intent. It had compassion for all things and a desire to protect them.
In fact, the Qianqiu Sword borrows the essence of all things, and conversely, all things borrow the Qianqiu Sword to protect themselves.
The author has something to say: Happy National Day holiday, babies.
I saw some people were worried about finishing it too quickly. The National Day holiday lasts for seven days. I wanted to try my best to finish the main text during the holiday because I wanted to hold an event on Weibo after it is finished.
I will say it in the posting the day before the final chapter is released, so that those who want to participate in the event will not miss it in time.
I will adjust my mood and finish writing it well.
Then someone said they hope to see a sequel, so I thought about writing a modern sequel? Like "Uncle Master, Please Respect Yourself", where the character travels to the modern era, but the identity is not decided yet? If you have any ideas, please leave a message.
For example, Baby Chan becomes a happy second-generation rich kid, and Brother Wuxi becomes the housekeeper uncle. No, that’s not right. It’s the housekeeper brother or something like that. It depends on what everyone thinks.
