Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 666 Gu Xu: It’s time

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Gu Xu raised his head slightly and looked at the silver dragon in front of him.

Her purple eyes alone were larger than his entire body, making him look as small as an ant.

"Of course," Silver Dragon answered without hesitation, "My sister and I are the closest relatives in the world. If I were in trouble, she would definitely risk her life to save me."

"But she has asked you not to get involved. It is very likely that when you get there, not only will you not be able to solve any problems, but you will also die with her."

"But if I don't go, I will regret it for the rest of my life," Jiang Zhaoyue said firmly. "If I lose my sister and live alone in this world, I will be so sad that I will die."

Gu Xu looked at her bright purple eyes and was silent for a long time.

"Have you really made up your mind?"

"Yeah!" Silver Dragon nodded her huge head vigorously.

"If this is really the choice you have made, then I can only respect your decision." Gu Xu said softly after pondering for a moment.

He put himself in his shoes and thought that if his wife and daughter were in danger, he would definitely not stand idly by.

"then you……"

Yinlong looked at Gu Xu and blinked.

She considers herself a dragon with a strong sense of contract.

Although Ziwei was a playboy, lustful and greedy, she still felt a little guilty when she realized that she would not be able to continue to be his protector as agreed after leaving Dahuang.

"Perhaps, it's about time now," Gu Xu said calmly, "If you really want to return to Lingxiao Realm, I will let my clone go with you.

“Since your sister has encountered a problem that is difficult to resolve, then a shocking change must have occurred in the Lingxiao Realm—even if it is not Tai Shang Haotian’s advancement to the ninth realm, it will definitely change the current situation.

"If I go later, when everything has already been decided, I may have a hard time leading Dahuang to a comeback."

“But you just said that Lingxiao Realm is very dangerous and going there might mean you’ll die,” Jiang Zhaoyue reminded.

"It's easier to fish in troubled waters!" Gu Xu smiled, "It's just a clone anyway, the worst that can happen is that it will die in the Lingxiao Realm."

After saying this, Gu Xu prepared to turn around and return to the imperial study to handle state affairs.

Jiang Zhaoyue's telepathic voice suddenly sounded in his mind, calling him.

"Emperor, wait!"

Gu Xu paused and looked back at her: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, is there anything else you need?"

Jiang Zhaoyue stared at him quietly for a moment and said sincerely: "Thank you, Emperor!"

"Thank you?" Gu Xu was a little confused as to why she suddenly wanted to thank him.

"Thank you for reminding me in time, letting me know that something might have happened to my sister, so that I still have a chance to save everything."

Jiang Zhaoyue spoke seriously, enunciating each word.

…………

The illusory world of Qingdu, a place for discussing Tao.

Li Yun did not make an appointment with his teammates in advance today.

He waited in line in multiplayer mode for a full quarter of an hour but still couldn't find enough people.

In desperation, he could only choose to fight in a one-on-one match.

Soon, he saw the name of his opponent this time—

"Su white fish".

Li Yun's expression immediately became solemn.

He knew that "Su Baiyu" was the holder of the record for the longest winning streak in the "Realm of Taoism" and had never been defeated to this day.

Everyone who tried to defeat him ended up in failure.

Over time, whenever a cultivator matched with "Su Baiyu" in the "Realm of Discussion of Tao", they would not help but wail, "My points are gone again" and "I have been punished by fate again".

At the same time, "Su Baiyu" is also a very mysterious existence.

He is famous in the "Qingdu Fantasy Land", but in reality, no one has ever seen his true face.

The monks of the "Purple Mansion Army" made different guesses about his identity - some thought that he was a genius in swordsmanship who was eccentric and did not like to communicate with others; others believed that he was sent by His Majesty to carry out a special mission because of his unique skills and strength.

Of course, with Li Yun's character, no matter who his opponent is, he will go all out and regard every battle as a test for himself.

When he stepped onto the ring with a long sword on his back, "Su Baiyu", a man with a scimitar on his waist and an ordinary face, was already waiting for him quietly on the opposite side.

The battle began with a burst of exciting drumbeats.

Li Yun drew out his sword in an instant and performed the "White Bird Cold Wave Step". His body was as light as a flying bird and as swift as a ghost, and he went straight to the side of "Su Baiyu".

On the tip of his sword, the sword energy condensed into bright and dazzling lightning, which kept flashing and jumping, and one could vaguely hear the rumbling sound of thunder.

This was the "Thunder Sound Sword Technique" that Senior He had improved for him not long ago, which was famous in the Great Wilderness cultivation world for its amazing explosive power. After his diligent practice in recent months, its power became even more extraordinary.

However, at the moment when the electric light flashed on the sword's edge, something unexpected happened.

The "Su Baiyu" on the opposite side suddenly turned into thick black smoke, and then split into nine, transforming into nine smoky and blurry shadows. It looked weird and eerie, like a ghost that had traveled from the underworld to the world of the living.

The nine shadows were located in nine different directions of Li Yun, making him hesitant for a moment and not knowing where to stab the sword.

"Didn't colleagues say that Su Baiyu's best moves were the Shining Sun Nine Heavens Blade and the Dawn Breaking Cloud Step?" Li Yun frowned, feeling extremely confused. "Why did he use such a sinister and mysterious body movement today?"

In the "Realm of Discussion of Tao", although "Su Baiyu" is very famous for his undefeated record, when others want to discuss what martial arts he is best at, they cannot reach a consensus.

Some people once said that "Su Baiyu" was best at using those basic knife styles without any fancy moves. His movements seemed unfamiliar and stiff, but in fact they were precise and dangerous, and he could often kill with one strike.

Some people also say that "Su Baiyu" likes to use complicated and showy sword techniques, such as "Fanhua Chunyu Sword" and "Purple Air Coming from the East Sword". At the beginning, he would be very unskilled and unauthentic, which made people want to laugh, but after a few simple moves, he would improve rapidly and soon become an expert with rules and methods.

After a long debate, some monks of the Purple Mansion Army gathered together. They began to collect and record the battles of "Su Baiyu", and then analyzed and discussed these battles.

Then they discovered that the sword technique that "Su Baiyu" used most often was the "Yang Fire" attribute, which was broad, precise and direct.

"Su Baiyu" seems to be always busy.

He seemed to be in a hurry in every battle, seeking to defeat his opponent as quickly as possible.

That's why Li Yun felt a little surprised when he used a set of martial arts today that was completely different from his usual style.

But despite his surprise, Li Yun did not stop.

He emptied his mind and released his divine consciousness to explore which of the nine shadows was the true body of "Su Baiyu". Then he soon discovered that in his divine consciousness, one of the shadows revealed a warm breath of life, while the others were only bone-chillingly cold.

His sword immediately flew out of his hand, turning into a dazzling green light, carrying with it the force of thunder and lightning, and flew towards the shadow that was suspected to be the real body of "Su Baiyu".

Under the shock of the lightning, the shadow was immediately paralyzed and unable to move.

Li Yun stepped forward.

But at this moment, a hoarse laugh suddenly sounded in his ears: "Are you sure?"

As the words rang out, a gust of cold wind seemed to blow past his back, causing him to involuntarily get goose bumps all over his body.

"As expected of 'Su Baiyu'," Li Yun thought silently, "I said he couldn't be dealt with so easily. Just his cunningness alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Li Yun's sword stopped in mid-air.

He raised his hand, recalled the sword with a thought, and turned around to deal with the enemy hiding behind him.

But when the sword was flying in the air, except for the shadow that was fixed in place, all other shadows of "Su Baiyu" disappeared.

The black smoke surrounding the only remaining "real body" also dissipated in an instant.

He used his body skills to flash to the other side of Li Yun like a ghost, and pointed the blade at his neck with lightning speed.

"I lost." Feeling the real and cold touch of metal on his neck, Li Yun said calmly.

Losing to "Su Baiyu" is normal, winning is abnormal.

Su Baiyu put away the knife in his hand, stared at Li Yun, and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "You are a sword cultivator, and you practice the 'Thunder Sound Sword Technique' that uses an upright spirit to fight the enemy. It emphasizes the determination to move forward and pursues the bravery of ten swings and ten decisions.

“Once you draw your sword, you can’t regret it.

“This is the key to enlightenment through this method.

“Today’s competition will serve as a lesson for you!

"I am only a cultivator of the third realm, and I cannot deceive your perception. After you draw your sword, you should be firm in your original intention. How can I deceive you into hesitating and regretting just because of a little trick of mine?"

Li Yun was silent for a moment, then turned his head and looked at the ordinary face of "Su Baiyu" and asked, "You are obviously a sword cultivator, why do you have such a deep understanding of the way of the sword?"

For some reason, he always felt that the way "Su Baiyu" spoke was somewhat familiar.

"Su Baiyu" smiled faintly and said, "I know a lot of things, whether it's a knife or a sword, it's just one of them."

Seeing that Li Yun's brows were furrowed even more tightly, "Su Baiyu" continued, "I think these words today are what Senior He asked me to convey to you!"

"Senior He! It's actually Senior He!"

Li Yun's mind suddenly became clear.

  It turned out that this familiar way of speaking was something he had heard from Senior He Yiqun!

Perhaps, only a tireless teacher like Senior He would try every possible means to teach him in this realm of discussion and teach him the correct way to practice the sword.

"Friend Su, you and Senior He must be very close, right?" Li Yun asked, "When you see him, can you thank him for me and thank him for his good intentions?"

"Su Baiyu" pondered for a while, then agreed calmly: "Okay."

…………

When the illusion dissipated, Li Yun returned to the real world.

He took a deep breath, straightened his robe, and ran straight towards the spiritual energy conversion formation of the Wuying Palace.

While running, he analyzed silently in his mind.

"Su Baiyu" is a cultivator of the third realm, while "Senior He" is a strong man of the sixth realm. Since "Su Baiyu" admitted that he and "Senior He" have a close relationship, then the two of them are likely to be a master-disciple relationship.

"It turns out that Senior He didn't want to take me in as his disciple because I'm not good enough!" He felt a surge of emotion in his heart, "For a teacher as knowledgeable as Senior He, I guess only a student as proficient in everything as Su Baiyu can catch his eye!

"The master and his disciple have the same style. They are both mysterious and mysterious, like a dragon that can only be seen from head to tail!"

With this thought in mind, he quickly found an empty cushion in the Wuying Hall, closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and entered a state of meditation.

But he also knew that his talent was limited.

Being able to master the martial arts that you have is already the limit.

It takes more than an ordinary person to be able to use all kinds of martial arts moves as skillfully as "Su Baiyu".

…………

At the same time, in the imperial study.

Gu Xu put away the "Qingdu Order" and his consciousness returned to the real world.

Because he was about to split himself into two and head to the Lingxiao Realm, he had just entered the "Realm of Discussing the Dao" again and successfully achieved ten consecutive victories, consolidating all the new martial arts of different styles that he had recently practiced.

Unexpectedly, in the last battle, I actually met this guy Li Yun.

Gu Xu was somewhat surprised by Li Yun's recent progress in the "Thunder Sound Sword Technique" and cultivation. Gu Xu clearly felt the charm of the thunder sound of his sword. If he was given some more time, he might even be able to cultivate the breath of "Tao".

So Gu Xu took this opportunity to give Li Yun some advice.

At the same time, Gu Xu's mind once again emerged the image of Li Yun, who was wearing a red robe and reading the imperial edict when he traveled to the past from Guixu in the East China Sea.

He couldn't help but wonder, why even though he clearly had the "Star Plate", the people of Tai Shang Haotian were still able to hide it from him and secretly build the "Tower of Babel" leading to the Lingxiao Realm?

Moreover, destroying the "Tower of Babel" is such an important matter. According to his usual character, he will definitely do it personally to ensure that everything goes well.

  But why wasn't he there at the time?

Why did you choose to use your past self as a pretext?

Did he encounter some unexpected situation at that time, or was entangled in other more pressing matters and was unable to go in person?

Gu Xu was a little confused.

He didn't spend any more time thinking about this complicated problem.

As soon as he thought about it, an exquisitely painted paper man jumped out from "Xianyunju" and lay quietly on the ground.

As Gu Xu began to chant the spell silently, the paper man glowed with dazzling light and slowly stood up from the ground.

Its body began to expand gradually like a balloon.

Soon it is no longer a thin plane but becomes three-dimensional.

The facial features painted on it were no longer lifeless, but became lively and vivid.

Can smile and can frown.
