Duan Qingming looked up at the sky: "If I'm not mistaken, it's Feng Lie."
This person really has a talent for causing trouble. He dares to cause Feng Lie with his outer pill cultivation. Gu Pinglin forced the Moon Swallowing Beast back and sneered: "You really are looking for death."
The whirlwind disappeared as soon as it hit the ground, condensing into a gray shadow half a person's height. It looked like a tiger in size, but its color was very light, like a phantom.
Fenglie is a ferocious beast unique to the East China Sea. It has cultivated the power to control the wind and can split its body into pieces to transform into wind. It has a violent temperament and most of the inner alchemy masters dare not provoke it. Now it was deliberately lured here, and it found its target as soon as it landed and rushed straight to Duan Qingming.
Gu Pinglin dodged the wind blade in time. Seeing that the Moon Devourer was about to escape, he became even more angry: "You attracted it, so go ahead!"
"It was just a coincidence, but I didn't know it would really come."
"You can take it away with you."
"You are so heartless. I thought you would share the joys and sorrows with me."
"Are you awake?"
Seeing the wind crack approaching, Duan Qingming narrowed his eyes, summoned the famous wind sword, and started with the "Goose Shadow in the Clouds" move, which showed that he did not dare to be careless.
"Goose Shadow in the Clouds" is one of the three strongest sword techniques of Gu Ying. It has almost no flaws, but Feng Lie is not afraid at all. He decomposes his body in an instant, turns into a gust of wind, and escapes from the dense gaps between the sword energy.
After a few moves, Duan Qingming could not gain the upper hand at all and was forced to retreat step by step. Feng Lie forced him from the island into the sea. They walked away while Feng Lie chased them, gradually moving away from the island.
Here, Gu Pinglin was fighting the Moon Swallowing Beast alone. Although he had no help, the Moon Swallowing Beast was far inferior to Feng Lie. Gu Pinglin spent some time and finally took it down. The most useful part of the Moon Swallowing Beast was its skin, which was too late to deal with. Gu Pinglin hurriedly put the carcass into the Baina belt and flew into the air.
It was already dark, and the moonlight was hazy over the sea. It had been about an incense stick of time since Duan Qingming left. Gu Pinglin did not chase in the direction he left. Instead, he explored along the edge of the Qizi Reef area, stopped for a moment on several small islands, concentrated on feeling the changes in the air currents, and then flew into the air again, chasing in the left front. Not long after he went, he heard a sharp whistle.
The sound of wind.
The waves were surging for several miles in radius, strong winds were blowing in the sky, and flashes of swords could be seen from time to time.
Wind is invisible, Feng Lie controls the wind to attack. As soon as Gu Pinglin approached, a wind blade shot at him. He dodged in time, and when he looked again, a piece of his clothes had been cut off. Gu Pinglin thought to himself that in his previous life, because of the bad relationship with Nanzhu, he rarely went to the East China Sea, and he really had never fought Feng Lie in person. Now that he has only cultivated to the level of Waidan, it is indeed more difficult to deal with him.
Gu Pinglin immediately used the Creation Art, holding the power of Yin-Yang Tai Chi with both palms, and pushed forward into the chaotic wind. The wind blades that were close to him were all worn out and turned into ordinary wind, which could no longer hurt people. Gu Pinglin entered the chaotic wind layer and looked up to see Duan Qingming, or rather, he saw a wind sword.
His entire body almost turned into a faint sword light, moving with the wind and dancing with the wind blades in the sky at an incredibly fast speed.
The Art of Repairing the Sky.
The ability to mend the sky just made up for what the wind blades lacked. He did not resist the wind blades at all, but used the Heaven-Mending Art to activate the supreme sword intent. His body turned into sword energy and merged with the surrounding wind blades, actually turning the entire chaotic wind layer into a huge gale formation.
When you encounter righteousness, you are righteous; when you encounter evil, you are evil. It is neither righteous nor evil, and the way of nature follows.
With a thought, Gu Pinglin seemed to understand something.
"Coming?" Feng Jian rushed past.
Gu Pinglin came back to his senses: "You are testing me on purpose. You have a way to get out of this situation without me."
From the moment he saw him transform into a wind sword, Gu Pinglin knew that he was no longer in danger. He merged himself into the wind and helped the wind blades form a gale formation. He naturally became the most critical part of the wind formation. Now that the entire wind formation was under his control, how difficult would it be to withdraw the formation
Duan Qingming did not deny it: "Then you still want to come?"
Gu Pinglin sneered: "Come and see how you die."
"Can't you say something nice, like worry about me?"
"I'm worried about you," Gu Pinglin said, "I'm worried that you'll feed Feng Lie with your body, becoming the first person in the history of Lingxin Sect to die in a novel way, and making me, the sect leader, a laughing stock in the cultivation world."
"That's enough. I don't want to hear it anymore."
As he finished speaking, the speed of the gale formation suddenly increased, and the wind became more violent, blowing Gu Pinglin's cloak fluttering and causing some pain on his cheeks. The wind blades around him also began to fly uncontrollably. Gu Pinglin concentrated on sensing the direction of the attack and dodged carefully.
On the surface, Duan Qingming activated the wind formation to make it more powerful, but in fact, everything has its limits. When the formation loses control and exceeds the limit, that is when the formation is broken.
Gu Pinglin secretly counted to "three" and drew his sword.
The true qi of creation stimulated the sword intent, which just happened to cooperate with the sky-repairing sword energy that broke away from the wind formation.
The wind formation is broken!
The Bu Tian Sword Qi was strengthened by the array force, and it attacked the wind blades. All the wind blades were smashed to pieces like a rotten wood! The broken wind blades dissipated, and in an instant, the wind on the sea stopped.
Gu Pinglin stopped.
It can blend with all things, yet it can also ruthlessly kill everything. The Bu Tian Jue is indeed the most unique martial art in the world.
The roar was like the howling of the north wind. Feng Lie turned into a tiger again and crawled on the sea, pretending to be defensive.
Gu Pinglin saw the opportunity and made a prompt decision: "Let's go."
Duan Qingming successfully escaped, but had no intention of leaving. He reached out to catch the Mingfeng Sword that flew back to him, and then used a modified move called "Purple Swallow Leaving Shadow" and slashed towards Feng Lie.
"What are you doing!" Gu Pinglin shouted angrily.
Duan Qingming said calmly: "Why should I leave? I want to kill this beast."
"Are you crazy?" Gu Pinglin almost laughed out of anger, "We can't possibly be opponents. If you want to die, don't drag me into this!"
Breaking the Wind Blade to escape is one thing, and killing the Wind Crack is another. The Wind Blade is just an attack, and the Wind Crack is something that all Inner Alchemy cultivators avoid. The level restrictions in the cultivation world are not empty talk. Even if two Outer Alchemy cultivators have supreme swordsmanship skills, it is impossible for them to kill the Wind Crack.
As expected, Duan Qingming was forced to fly back by Feng Lie. Fighting with Feng Lie for such a long time was very exhausting. He calmed his breath and changed his tactics: "If you don't try, how do you know you are not my opponent? It's exciting to hunt and kill Feng Lie at a higher level!"
"impossible!"
"Nothing is Impossible."
Hearing the familiar words suddenly, Gu Pinglin couldn't help but tighten his grip on the hilt of his sword. He vaguely sensed that the Gu Ying Sword was trembling with excitement. As expected, this sword followed its previous owner. In the face of the burning will to fight, the opponent's strength seemed to be nothing.
Unlike Duan Qingming, Gu Pinglin has always been rigorous and self-restrained. He is used to making plans before taking action, and he does not agree with taking risks. However, at this moment, Gu Pinglin did feel the long-lost excitement, and the blood in his body gradually boiled.
We are all the same people at heart.
Gu Pinglin thought to himself with self-mockery, then he gathered his thoughts and dived into the sea with his sword in hand: "Water!"
Almost at the same time, a large area of seawater flew up into the air, forming a thin curtain of water. The wind was howling, and the killing move was invisible and elusive, but the water had a visible shadow. The invisible wind blew away the visible curtain of water, and then it took shape.
The two smart men hardly needed to communicate with each other. They tacitly used the characteristics of water to make the wind appear, and worked together to deal with the wind cracks, attacking without reservation.
The flowers are in disarray and the butterflies are attracted to them. The phoenix is perched on the wutong tree. They come out together.
Feng Lie retreated several feet, staring at the two people who were tired and panting in surprise. After a while, it suddenly turned around and turned into a gust of breeze and disappeared.
With their cultivation, it was impossible to kill it, but it actually escaped first, which was unexpected. Gu Pinglin fell to the sea, half-knelt down, bent over and gasped, Gu Yingjian circled around him twice, as if concerned, and then returned to the scabbard and disappeared.
Duan Qingming strode over, leaned over and patted him on the back, helping him to regulate his internal energy.
Gu Pinglin looked at him from the side and saw that although his breathing was disordered, he looked very happy and energetic, and seemed to have more energy than before the battle. Gu Pinglin could not help but lower his head and look at the cold sweat on his palms, and sighed secretly - regardless of the difference in cultivation, the ninth level of Na Yuan was indeed well-deserved. Only the ninth level of Dantian could withstand such consumption. This time, he was simply playing with his life. In his current situation, it would be extremely dangerous to continue fighting, but he had no intention of retreating just now. How unwise it was for the head of the sect to put himself in danger easily. He was really crazy.
The melancholy passed in an instant, Gu Pinglin calmed down his true energy, brushed off his hand, and stood up: "That's enough, go back, you've been out for too long, Brother Bu and the others are probably worried."
"Why bother with those rubbish?" The man beside him was obviously still excited. He looked at the direction where the wind was going, and his cold voice was filled with endless contempt and arrogance. "It has already cowarded the fight. If we catch up with it now, we will have a 20% chance of defeating it."
This is Duan Qingming. Gu Pinglin didn't say much, tightened the cloak straps, and said calmly: "Go back first."
He made this decision, and Duan Qingming did not object. He put away his sword, turned around and resumed his usual gentle demeanor: "Your cultivation has made no progress."
Gu Pinglin said: "You have reached the eighth level of Qi transformation."
Duan Qingming said "hmm".
Gu Pinglin lowered his eyes calmly.
Neither of them should have held back their strength in this battle. The eighth level of external elixir transformation into Qi is his true strength. However, compared to this, another discovery is particularly important.
The Bu Tian Jue is different from what I remember.
In his previous life, because of what happened between him and Qu Lin, he failed to get promoted, but in the end his aptitude was not damaged, because the Bu Tian Jue was similar to the Creation Jue and both had the effect of repairing the Dao Meridians. However, in the battle just now, he did not feel the ability of his technique to repair the deficiencies.
The present-day Bu Tian Jue is cultivated based on the "Nine Chapters of Refining the Spirit" and it is very likely that it does not have such an effect.
"Let's go." Gu Pinglin took off into the sky.
"Are you worried about something?"
"how you said that?"
"You seem unhappy," Duan Qingming paused, "Is it because I am so heartless and ungrateful again?"
Gu Pinglin said: "I am not unhappy, and you are not heartless and ungrateful."
"Oh?" Duan Qingming smiled upon hearing this, "Do you think that I have those excessive emotions like you?"
Gu Pinglin did not answer, but suddenly asked: "Do you want the Creation Secret?"
Duan Qingming smiled and said, "I remember you said that I never wanted anything. Do you think I need anything now?"
Gu Pinglin didn't ask any more questions.
When the two of them were halfway there, they met Bu Shuihan and Jiang Ruoxu. It turned out that everyone saw that the two of them had not returned yet, so they came out to look for them. Gu Pinglin casually explained a few words and concealed the matter of the wind crack.
Bu Shuihan saw that they were safe and sound, and did not suspect anything. He whispered, "Sword Demon Yan Sen is here. Senior Xin said it's okay..."
Gu Pinglin nodded: "I understand, we'll talk about it when we get back."
After getting his personal admission, Bu Shuihan felt relieved. He resisted the urge to ask more questions. They all returned to the boat together. As expected, they saw Yan Sen sitting cross-legged at the bow, confronting Qi Wan'er. Xin Ji was standing nearby watching the fun with a smile. Leng Xu and Yao Feng were worried. Only Cheng Yi was looking around.
Yan Sen laughed: "Huan Le Tian's dual cultivation technique is the best in the cultivation world. Qi has found a good son-in-law. In the future, let your brother-in-law teach you a few moves. I guarantee you will benefit from them."
Qi Wan'er had been unhappy recently because of Qi Yanfeng's matter. When Yan Sen teased her, she became furious: "What does it have to do with you!"
…
"Look!" Cheng Yi was the first to see Duan Qingming, and pointed at him and said to everyone, "I told you he's fine!"
Xin Ji quickly agreed: "I also said that Master Duan is a lucky man, and nothing will happen to him."
Cheng Yi looked at him in surprise: "You didn't say that!"
The hand that was touching his beard trembled, and Xin Ji forced a smile: "My friend, what you said is wrong. Although I didn't say it, I thought so in my heart."
"Oh." Cheng Yi believed it.
Seeing Gu Pinglin coming back, Leng Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward: "Master."
Gu Pinglin waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to worry.
"Senior, long time no see." Duan Qingming saluted to Yan Sen as soon as he got on the boat.
Seeing him, Yan Sen's expression immediately changed, and he sneered: "Get lost, if it weren't for you, would I hide? Those old bastards in your family have been hunting me for two months!"
"Senior, you are too kind," Duan Qingming said, "The Duan family swordsmanship is nothing compared to your Soul Sword Style. I see that your demeanor remains the same, which shows that you are not troubled."
"Stop flattering me!" Yan Sen became alert. "What are you planning? Let me make it clear first, I won't help you!"
Duan Qingming smiled and said, "Senior, you are overthinking. I am just worried about you. The Duan family has always had dealings with Penglai Island. Senior, you are showing up now. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by them?"
Yan Sen said simply: "I have a friend who will be coming too. I'll use you as a cover while I go to the island."
Duan Qingming said: "I'm afraid this identity of yours is inappropriate."
Yan Sen was displeased: "What? I did something for you, and you don't even give me this little convenience?"
Duan Qingming sighed, "I want to help you, Senior, but I can't make the decision about Lingxin Sect."
Yan Sen sneered and looked at Gu Pinglin: "He is your junior fellow apprentice, why doesn't he listen to you?"
"Forget it," Gu Pinglin said, "It's not difficult to bring you to Penglai Island, but you must leave immediately after you get on the island and don't bring trouble to us."
Yan Sen chuckled: "Don't worry, I'm not impatient to follow you either."
Bu Shuihan looked at Yan Sen, then frowned at Duan Qingming, stepped forward and whispered to Gu Pinglin: "This matter..."
Gu Pinglin stopped him: "It's okay."
Bu Shuihan thought that Yan Sen was so powerful that no one could defeat him, so Gu Pinglin had no choice but to agree to his conditions, so he said nothing more. There were demon cultivators hiding in the team, and if they were discovered, it would definitely endanger the Lingxin Sect. Bu Shuihan was nervous all night until he saw Yan Sen leave with his own eyes after arriving on the island, and then he felt relieved.
Nanzhu had received the news long ago and had specially sent people to greet them nearby. Two attendants led Gu Pinglin and his party to the Biyou Palace.
"Huh." Cheng Yi called out.
"What's wrong?" asked a young disciple of Lingxin Sect.
Cheng Yi shook his head: "No, I just feel it's very strange..."
The atmosphere on Penglai Island was very different from last time, and everyone actually noticed it. Gu Pinglin said, "It is natural that Lord Liuyu is nervous about the marriage with the Ji family."
The two attendants who received them were from Nanzhu, and were not afraid to hear these things. One of them smiled and said, "Lord Liuyu and Lord Shunshi tried their best to obstruct the marriage before, but fortunately, Miss Ji... the future wife is smart and gave the island master a lot of ideas."
As they were talking, a group of people came from the front and stopped everyone.
"Is this the headmaster of Lingxin Sect, Gu?" The man in the front smiled and bowed to Gu Pinglin, "Lord Liu Yu invites you."
The attendant tried to stop him: "Master Gu is the guest of the island owner."
"So what if he is the island owner's guest?" the man scolded. "Lord Liu Yu is an important official of Penglai, loyal and devoted. He is just receiving guests on behalf of the island owner. What's wrong with that? How dare you to sow discord between the island owner and Lord Liu Yu in front of the guests?"
