Two Realms: I use martial arts to ask for longevity

Chapter 439: Night Visit to the County Government + Invasion
By the Weishui River.

The fishing lights are still flickering at night.

As people came and went, the hillside on the shore, where Zhang Taiyan was buried, gradually fell into silence.

All that was left was a mess.

And the faint smell of blood lingering in the air.

Thousands of feet away from the hillside, above the river, clouds and water vapor changed their shapes in the cool breeze. At one moment, the clouds suddenly stopped and formed a face.

Next, there appeared a faint figure in green.

Floating in the air.

The clouds rolled and dispersed, and with a gust of cold wind, it began to drizzle again. A green shadow flashed in the sky and then disappeared.

"It really is worthy of being called 'The floating silk, the light sea smoke', the top-level body movement. When it is in operation, let alone someone in the same realm, even if they are one or two realms higher than me, they would not be able to find me beside them unless they are looking for me intentionally. This skill is close to the Tao."

Zhou Ping'an secretly admired the body movement skills he gained from Su Pengju in the Demon-Subduing Trial. He felt that they were mysterious and wonderful. Even though he had already mastered them, he still found them a little unbelievable.

No wonder Uncle Yu Changsheng was so envious that he almost drooled.

With such a skill at hand, I can come and go freely and roam the world at will. It is of great help when doing bad things.

It was precisely by relying on this unreasonable "Xiao Yao You" body movement technique that he was able to sneak up quietly, approach Zhang Taiyan, who was completely unprepared and whose cultivation level had dropped sharply, and suddenly launch a sneak attack.

Kill it easily.

In Zhou Ping'an's opinion, the "Xiao Yao You" skill was responsible for at least half of the ability to eliminate hidden dangers so easily and achieve one's wish.

If they came to ambush openly and were discovered by Zhang Taiyan early on, no matter how well they could kill him, it would still cause a huge commotion.

No matter what powerful means the other party uses, they may still fail and have to wait for reinforcements.

That would be really troublesome.

However, although this physical skill is good, it is also based on divine will and consumes a lot of mental energy.

Zhou Ping'an estimated that under extreme circumstances, he could hide his body and keep his breath in the clouds for at most two quarters of an hour.

If it goes on for too long, the soul power will be consumed too much and it will be dangerous, as it will not be enough to deal with possible enemies.

Of course, being able to hold on for half an hour and practice this strange body movement technique is actually enough.

The battle between masters only takes a few moves...

If the fight is not finished in half an hour, then forget about it. If you continue, it would be irresponsible to your own life.

“I have learned a lot. I need to change my mindset in the future.

This world is huge, and there are too many strange methods. We cannot look at it with the old perspective of the original world."

As a martial artist, he never expected that he had killed Zhang Taiyan completely. He even used his spiritual power to shatter the remaining soul consciousness of Zhang Taiyan and let it dissipate in the wind.

Even in this situation, the elder of the inner court named Fang Chengdong was still able to use divination and necromancy to gather the scattered divine will and inquire.

Zhou Ping'an was caught off guard by this tactic.

The most outrageous thing is the white-haired old man carrying a wine gourd on his back.

He actually anticipated this and used white beads to disperse the soul fragments in advance.

The other party's attempt to summon the soul was in vain.

This means I predicted your prediction.

All I can say is that these old guys are all very capable people with extensive knowledge and a variety of tricks.

Not to be underestimated.

In the end, I suffered from my lack of knowledge. I will learn from it next time.

Zhou Ping'an secretly prepared himself mentally, but doubts arose in his mind again.

“I heard from Senior Sister Zhan Shanhe that the current head of the Yunshui Sect who is in charge of all work is Yuntai Zhenren, who has an immortal demeanor and looks very good.

On the contrary, Uncle Yu Changsheng’s master, Grand Elder Su Youxian, is usually unkempt and hard to describe…”

These are Zhan Shanhe’s original words.

There is no need to guess at this point.

The short old man with white hair and beard was wearing a tattered Taoist robe with oily and black marks on his collar. Moreover, when he was muttering to himself, he mentioned that Zhang Taiyan had once injured his beloved disciple.

Isn't it definitely the Grand Elder himself?

"This old man is pretty good."

A warm feeling rose in Zhou Ping'an's heart.

Speaking of which, the Yunshui Sect is known as one of the four great immortal sects, but it actually didn’t leave a very good impression on him.

Most of the disciples and elders are too selfish. Perhaps they are used to being superior in their daily lives, and there is always an indescribable smell in their behavior.

But then again, human beings are always like this, there are good people and bad people, there are white people and black people, and most of them are gray.

Even his casually accepted masters Su Lianxue and Yu Changsheng, as well as the lineage of the Grand Elder, were cared for and fulfilled their responsibilities as elders.

This made Zhou Ping'an feel more or less a sense of belonging to the Yunshui Sect and he regarded it as his own sect.

Otherwise, with Zhang Taiyan's way of doing things, he would have already lost his loyalty...

"This hurdle has been overcome. Even if there are recurrences in the future, it will only be a verbal battle, and there will be no evidence.

After all, there are people standing on my side."

Zhou Ping felt a little relieved.

He thought that as his own power grew, perhaps there would be a chance to attract the attention of the Yunshui Sect and gain more support.

How to do it still needs careful consideration.

……

After passing Nanping County, the place was still in chaos. Even at night, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard faintly.

Zhou Ping'an paused for a moment, listening to the shrill howling coming from the night wind, feeling regretful.

People suffer a lot.

The people at the bottom of society fear the most that the bosses above them do not do their jobs and mess around, causing the people to suffer.

The Lord Cui of Guangyun County is not just making trouble.

He used the people as his nourishment, practiced evil skills, and made the area under his rule like hell...

“We can’t develop slowly any longer…

Guangyun County must be taken as soon as possible.

Even if we don’t pity the suffering of the people, if all we get is a dilapidated place with only one in ten people left, we won’t be able to gain power or accumulate luck…”

That's it in one thought.

Zhou Ping'an accelerated again.

His figure turned into light smoke and went straight to Guangyun County City.

This time I was familiar with the place and when I entered Guangyun again, I found that it was less noisy and lively and more lonely and deserted than the last time I came.

Even those places full of lights and wine turned off their lights and closed their doors early. The faint smell of blood and decay floated in the air, making people want to escape after staying in the city for only a short while.

Judging from the smell.

It must be a difficult time in the city during this period.

Moreover, there were so many dead people that the smell of blood and corpses was so nauseating.

“It’s been rebuilt right here.”

Zhou Ping'an came to the county magistrate's mansion again. His body merged into the fine rain and clouds. He paused for a moment, then slowly floated towards the mansion.

When he arrived at the courtyard wall, he didn't find anything wrong through his mental perception, but deep in his heart, a faint sense of crisis arose.

I just touched here last time and didn’t go in to investigate again.

"This time, no matter what, we have to try the quality."

Zhou Ping'an thought to himself that "Xiao Yao You" was extremely magical, and his own combat power was much stronger than the last time he came. He felt more or less confident in his heart. With a slight flash of his eyes, he floated silently into the vast mansion.

"Om..."

Just rushed into the courtyard wall.

Zhou Ping'an heard a slight buzzing sound in his ears, as if hundreds or thousands of blood-sucking mosquitoes were flapping their wings together, making him feel upset. At the same time, the color in front of his eyes suddenly turned blood red.

All five senses lost consciousness at the same time, blood swirled around him, and the air turned into sticky plasma, sticking tightly to his body. It was very difficult to take even a single step.

puff……

Zhou Ping'an fell to the ground, cut off the waves and water with one sword, and suddenly slashed behind him, tearing open a long safe passage. When he was about to exit the same way, he felt the blade sinking slightly.

The sound of swords clashing rang in my ears.

A cold and slippery force was transmitted from the knife into the arm and went straight to the internal organs.

His body was shining with golden light and surrounded by starlight. He immediately blocked out the cold force, but he still felt a little dizzy.

"Hey, it's you again. You actually dared to break into my All-Spirit Blood Formation. Now that you're here, don't leave."

A sinister voice, filled with deep hatred, came from far away and approached until it was ten feet in front of him.

At this time, Zhou Ping'an saw a bloody figure in a high crown and long robe appear in the courtyard shrouded in the hazy red light.

This man held a long red sword in his hand, and his brows were full of ferocity.

If it’s not Cui Guangling, who else could it be?

Compared to the last time I saw him, Cui Guangling's aura was more than ten times stronger.

The overwhelming pressure merged with the surrounding red light into one, gathering into an unparalleled blood-red sword energy, whistling towards Zhou Ping'an.

This blood-colored sword light seemed to have some kind of blessing. As it moved forward, the pressure increased exponentially with every zhang it advanced.

When it reached Zhou Ping'an, the sword light was so overwhelming that it blocked his vision.

Zhou Ping'an did not retreat this time.

He found that he seemed to be enveloped by a cold aura, and the blood sword seemed to have eyes locking on him. No matter how he dodged, he could not avoid the attack.

"If you can't avoid it, then don't hide."

Zhou Ping'an did not regret it. He stepped into the formation and threw away all his thoughts. The image of Kunpeng flapping its wings flashed through his mind, and he slashed out with a light knife.

at the same time.

At his heart, a red lotus slowly blossomed and withered.

A circle of blazing golden flames exploded around him.

"cut……"

The Pure World Lotus Body explodes thirty-six times.

Zhou Ping'an shook his arms, and the ground and the sky around him simultaneously rang with loud cracking and rumbling sounds, houses collapsed, and the void was torn apart...

The blood mist turned into smoke and shattered into the tiniest particles.

A flash of knife light cut through like water.

The blood-red sword light that was roaring and whistling in front was torn apart by this knife like an illusion.

puff……

Disappear like a bubble.

Farther away, the elegant middle-aged man in a red robe, Gao Wan, had a look of astonishment on his face.

In an instant, the knife cut him in half from forehead to crotch.

The blade flashed forward for a hundred feet, splitting the main hall, cutting through the house, and leaving a deep groove in the courtyard.

Chapter 452: Invasion Like Fire

Zhou Ping'an saw the crisis and stopped holding back.

He immediately activated the Second Level Sea-Splitting Sword and Seventh Level Lotus Body, thinking that even a mountain could be cut in half.

The result, of course, was just as he expected.

Before his eyes, whether it was the fog everywhere, the blood lake, or the Blood Shadow Sword, under his sword, they all became illusions and were shattered in one blow.

It's obviously a very exciting thing.

However, Zhou Ping'an's expression changed slightly and he didn't stay any longer.

Use this knife to cut through the formation, creating a crack so that you can see the moonlight outside.

His body flashed, and then he merged into the void, retreating a hundred feet.

It did not stop, but flew over the houses in the city, took off and landed a few times, whistling, and swept into the wilderness.

……

"What a fierce blow."

Two blood shadows whistled, approached slightly, and squeezed into each other's bodies little by little.

The two streaks of blood light merged into one, and Cui Guangling's figure in a tall crown and red robe appeared again.

There was a trace of pain between his brows, and there was still a knife mark between his eyebrows that had not yet solidified.

The dirty blood flowed down, making the clear and long face look extremely strange and hideous.

Cui Guangling stood on the courtyard wall and looked back. It was a mess...

He looked at the blood-red sword in his hand again, and his eyes were filled with pain.

A gap the size of a grain of rice had appeared on the blood sword.

“Even the Myriad Spirits Blood Sword was damaged. What kind of swordsmanship did this kid master?
Seeing that his divine will failed to trigger the heavenly secret, he should not have been promoted to the Zhenwu realm yet, so why does he have such power? "Thinking of the previous knife, Cui Guangling still had lingering fears.

That knife seemed to destroy everything and cut everything apart, even his own spiritual will was cut off a large part.

If it weren't for the Blood God Son, who could separate and combine freely, transform himself into a phantom, and was not afraid of sharpness and force, I would probably be finished if this knife fell.

Even so, the Blood God Son still suffered some injuries and needed to consume a lot of blood essence to replenish it.

“Sure enough, before the Blood God Son has fully mastered it, my true body still cannot leave the formation.

With the protection of the formation, I can always maintain my strongest state. Even if I get injured, I can recover at any time, and I am not afraid of being besieged."

"Zhou Ping'an, just wait, we will come to find you soon."

Cui Guangling's heart was filled with murderous intent. He had never wanted to kill someone as much as he did today.

Last time the other party launched a sneak attack, and this time it happened again, and he couldn't be stopped. It was really uncomfortable.

However, although he hated everything in his heart, he never appeared outside the formation. Instead, he floated back.

As long as the Blood God Son is fully mature, then there will be no increase or decrease, and there will be thousands of clones, changing from real to virtual...

With one pounce, as long as the opponent is hit, he will immediately turn into blood...

After achieving great success, even if you encounter targeted Buddhist mysterious light, you will not be too afraid.

The average Zhenwu in the late Lingguang realm, upon encountering a Blood Godson at the great perfection level, is only fit to become blood food.

Dealing with Zhou Ping'an, a mere brute who only knows how to fight hard, is naturally no problem.

All that’s missing are thirty-six pairs of spiritual boys and girls.

It’s almost there, we’ll find it soon.

……

Zhou Ping'an flew without a trace and ran all the way to the forest outside the city. He stopped only when he saw that there was no trace of Cui Guangling behind him.

With an unpleasant expression, he contemplated the red lotus of karmic fire in his mind...

A blazing red flame ignited around him.

The specks of blood and filth turned into wisps of rolling black smoke under the burning of the karma fire. The sounds of sharp whistling and wailing floated up and down with the black smoke and finally dissipated with the wind.

Zhou Ping'an let out a long breath.

The gas column was gray in color and was sprayed onto the grass leaves in front of him, causing them to wither and turn into gray immediately.

"What a vicious technique."

Zhou Ping'an looked towards Guangyun City, and his eyes became cautious.

The knife just now really worked.

It really did cut the opponent in half.

However, when he put away the knife, he made a horrifying discovery.

The bloody figure was actually split into two. Although its breath was a little weaker, it was still alive and kicking, and its attack power was not much weaker.

When Zhou Ping'an flew back, he just blocked the attack, but the blood invaded the deep part of his consciousness, making his head slightly dizzy.

At the same time, a violent and bloodthirsty emotion arose in his heart. Even the meditation method of the Five Desires Magic Art could not suppress the bloodthirsty desire in his heart for a while.

Want to destroy everything, want to kill all living things, want to suck blood...

This idea was instilled directly into his consciousness, and he even had a thought that did not belong to him. He wanted to stay here, massacre everyone in the city, and breathe in the bloody atmosphere of this place.

This is a bit scary.

"So, it is irrational to fight against Cui Guangling's Blood God in that strange formation."

Zhou Ping'an finally admitted it.

The movement skills of “Xiao Yao You” are indeed magical, but that does not include being in a formation and still not being discovered by the opponent.

Just like the method that Yu Changsheng had used at the beginning, she directly utilized the "Sound of the Blue Sea Tide" sword energy to vibrate the surrounding air, and by using the water vapor vibration and air compression, she could sense something wrong in the void.

The same principle applies to the formation in Cui Guangling’s mansion.

First, use a blood-colored energy to fill the space.

The entire mansion and hundreds of acres of land were all his eyes and ears.

At this moment, as long as someone breaks in, no matter how little wind or drop of water there is, they will not be able to escape the formation's alert.

That's all.

The key point is that Cui Guangling's methods are too strange and mysterious, and the Blood God Son seems to be immortal.

At least it is not enough to kill with physical combat or swordsmanship alone.

Zhou Ping'an used all his strength to strike with his sword, and the opponent was indeed unable to block it. However, the Blood God Son didn't need to block at all.

If you cut it in half, it will split into two.

If I cut two more, will it become four?

Add to that the brutal and bloody mental infection, and the reckless blood bodies that pounced on him and polluted his blood, this style of fighting was a bit rogue.

Zhou Ping'an knew that his body was strong and sturdy and could easily block the opponent's attack. For a while, the opponent would definitely not be able to break through his defense circle.

However, under this kind of absolute adversity where you can only take a beating and cannot fight back, and fighting back is of little use... being beaten and tortured by the opponent so much, sooner or later you will not be able to bear it.

Zhou Ping'an coughed a few more times and spat out some smelly bloody phlegm before he felt the filthy breath that was more unbearable than a sewer finally completely leave his mind and body.

Only then did I feel relieved.

Looking around, there was a slight commotion in the city, and then it returned to its desolate and cold state again.

At the location of Cui Guangling's county magistrate's mansion, a blood-red smoke rose straight into the sky, and under spiritual perception, it seemed to block out the moonlight.

"He didn't chase me. Did he not dare to chase me, or did he not want to chase me?"

Zhou Ping'an stopped, thought for a while, and suddenly understood.

“Yes, I was slightly injured just now, but I feel that the Sea-Splitting Sword can kill everything, even spirits and souls.

Even if the Blood God is extremely powerful and difficult to deal with, he would definitely not be left without any injuries after being slashed by the sword. "

"That old guy is probably scared too."

When he thought of this, Zhou Ping'an's depressed mood disappeared.

"Haha" a light laugh.

In this way, the initiative is in your hands.

You can't break into the formation, it's too dangerous.

But I can force him out.

It's impossible that he doesn't want such a big Guangyun County.

"The sooner the better. We can't wait."

After figuring out this principle, Zhou Ping'an immediately felt clear-headed.

Whether it is capturing civilians for blood sacrifice or gathering luck for cultivation.

You need territory to do this.

Cui Guangling hid in the mansion to practice magic, so he probably didn't achieve full success.

To put it bluntly, his Blood God Son may not have reached full maturity yet.

It's still a little off.

“As long as we capture all the cities and towns around Guangyun Group and force that guy to appear outside the formation, then we can be sure of the outcome.

Without the protection of the formation, I wonder how many moves of the Sea-Splitting Blade this Mansion Master Cui can block?"

……

The sounds of swords clashing and wind cutting in the quiet room continued intermittently for more than half an hour.

Until the food and drinks are served.

Everyone's stomachs were rumbling with greed, and some couldn't help but ask Zhou Ping'an whether to start the meal now, and the door was opened again.

Zhou Ping'an walked in front and said with a smile: "Uncle Yu's swordsmanship is getting more and more powerful. He has helped me to fill in some gaps in my swordsmanship. Thank you very much this time."

Thanks, of course, not for perfecting your swordsmanship or knife skills.

Instead, he was thanking Yu Changsheng for performing a one-man show for two people in the room.

When Zhou Ping'an just came back, he hid outside the window of the quiet room and waited for a long time, and then he found that Yu Changsheng was actually a versatile hexagonal player.

She usually concentrates on practicing martial arts without any distractions, but that doesn't prove that she is unlearned.

Looking through the window lattice, I saw this uncle-master running to the left from time to time, holding a long sword and dancing with thousands of sword flowers, with sword energy whistling.

Sometimes he would run to the right, pick up a long sword, and slash out with his sword, creating a violent storm and surging waves.

He used his left hand to make moves with a knife and a sword respectively, as if two people were fighting a life-and-death battle, interpreting the Cang Hai Sword Classic to the fullest.

The most amazing thing is that Uncle Xiaoyu actually knows ventriloquism.

While she was speaking her own words, she pretended to speak as Zhou Ping'an.

The two voices were talking to each other, discussing the principles of martial arts, and there was no disharmony at all.

incredible.

Zhou Ping'an turned into a light breeze and rushed into the room from outside the window. Yu Changsheng gave him a fierce look and almost collapsed on the chair.

She was nearly exhausted.

Mainly because I am tired...

She didn't ask where Zhou Ping'an had gone or whether he had returned with success. This was an unspoken matter, but once it was spoken, she had to be on guard against eavesdropping.

The reason for performing this play.

It was also to provide proof of presence to the Yunshui Sect disciples outside the gate.

Proves that Zhou Ping'an has always been here and has never left.

As long as this process is in place, even if a more powerful ancestor who can detect the true or false inner emotions of disciples appears within the sect, he will probably not be able to find anything wrong.

All everyone knows is that Zhang Taiyan came to Pinghu and returned injured.

Zhou Ping'an fought back out of anger to protect himself, and after he defeated Master Zhang, he never pursued him again.

As for Zhang Taiyan, he died on the road.

Then what does it have to do with Zhou Ping'an?

Things have come to this point and are over.

"So, the only flaw is Uncle Master Yu Changsheng."

“But, Uncle Yu Changsheng, your heart is with us, and your mind is even clearer and more transparent. You are well-known for your pure heart.

This state of mind is the most resistant to mental influence... No matter how she is interrogated, as long as she doesn't want to reveal her flaws, no one can do anything to her."

"You can't use vicious means to interrogate your own sect's talented disciple just because of Zhang Taiyan's death. That's not the case.

After all, Yunshui Sect is a Taoist sect, not an evil sect."

All these thoughts were running through my mind.

Zhou Ping'an showed no expression at all.

Invite everyone to take their seats.

After eating and drinking, he issued an order at night to leave troops to guard the city in the three counties of Liyou.

All the soldiers who could fight were dispatched across the river to Wenxi and Huling.

This time, he decided to seize the initiative from Cui Guangling.

……

Day two.

Zhan Shanhe, whose injuries have recovered, and a group of inner disciples have just set out.

In the direction of Qingyang City, Lin Huaiyu's pigeon letter has also arrived...

The letter said that she was about to gather 20,000 personal guards and rush to the Li River ferry.

After giving a few instructions, Yu Changsheng also prepared to go to Guangyun to ensure smooth communication at all times and to investigate Cui Guangling's whereabouts.

At this moment.

The secret spy sent by Qingnv sent back a message.

"You mean, the Red Lotus Cult sent out troops at four o'clock this morning, attacked the camp at five o'clock, killed Qiu Huaiying in battle, and attacked Yunjin Ferry directly...

Have you started crossing the bridge now?"

Zhou Ping'an could hardly believe his ears.

It was clear that some time ago, the Red Lotus Army was defeated by Qiu Huaiying and Yunjin defender Su Ming, and they fled in panic, losing cities and territories one after another.

I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly.

Sleep and wake up.

The flags on the city walls are changing.

This group of rebels really deserves the description that they are as aggressive as fire.

The timing was perfect.
