Chapter 10: Breaking the Mirror Before the Storm
The reason why tricks are called tricks is that in addition to the definition of "the art of plotting against rebellion" in the past Emperor Wu of Han is also because of its weirdness, because it is almost omnipotent, breaking the spiritual array, absorbing spiritual energy, and transforming spiritual power. The spiritual power cultivated by tricks is simply synonymous with weirdness.
However, at the root of this, the reason why the spiritual power of tricks is so omnipotent is precisely because the essence of tricks' spiritual power is too domineering, so domineering that it is not possible for other martial arts to fight against.
Moreover, the biggest beauty of tricks is that it completely breaks the barriers that will appear after the spiritual martial arts dual cultivation.
There are also many people in this world who can practice spiritual martial arts and dual cultivation, but when they reach a certain level of cultivation, most of them will choose to practice one separately and use the other purely as an auxiliary.
Because spiritual power and true qi belong to different types of energy after all, it is okay when both are still weak, but once both reach a certain intensity, they will begin to affect each other. In severe cases, they may even go astray and directly explode.
There is also a legend of the unity of spiritual and martial arts in the world, but those legends have been just legends from ancient times to the present, and it can be said that no one has ever done it.
Of course, Qin Shihuang could not achieve the unity of spiritual and martial arts. However, after his deduction, the trick finally made the traits bypass the spiritual and martial arts barriers, allowing practitioners to practice all spiritual and martial arts to an extremely high level.
I have said before that tricks are spiritual techniques, and there is no doubt that tricks are impossible to cultivate true qi. However, when a practitioner uses a secret technique of tricks, he can transform his spiritual power into an energy that is between true qi and spiritual power. With this energy, practitioners can not only perform spiritual techniques, but also practice martial arts without conflict with each other.
"!"
In an instant, Yao Ruoyu felt a sharp pain in his heart, and all the spiritual power inside suddenly became violent as if ignited by flames. He rushed out of the purple palace completely uncontrollably and flowed wildly everywhere in his body.
However, the next moment, Yao Ruoyu held back the severe pain, slowly raised his hand, and whispered: "!"
The moment the word "Yan" fell, the spiritual power that was almost burning all over Yao Ruoyu's body suddenly changed, from heavy to light, from turbid to clear, from hot to moist, just a few breaths. The previous spiritual power, which was like flame, had turned into a kind of pure, clear, warm and soft, flowing gently in his body.
The purity of this energy is simply terrifying. Even the damage that just happened because of the violent spiritual power was slowly repaired after this energy appeared.
However, although this energy was extremely pure and warm, Yao Ruoyu clearly felt that the spiritual well in the purple mansion was trembling violently. In about ten breaths, his spiritual well would completely collapse.
"Ten breaths are enough!"
With five fingers held, Yao Ruoyu stepped on the ground with one step, and the true energy surged, turning into a wisp of breeze hanging around his feet, making him feel as if he had escaped from gravity and slid out against the ground.
He went up against the wind, and in a blink of an eye, Yao Ruoyu had already approached the bottom of the tornado sword light. He raised the Frost Xi sword in his hand, and the ice-blue sword light hit directly like a torrent, just hitting the bottom of the tornado.
After Yao Ruoyu, who was at the third level and one level, used his secret technique, his cultivation level suddenly reached the fourth level and the first level. If he combined with the unique attributes of the true energy power and the domineering and madness of his tricks, his real combat power could be even more comparable to the fourth level and fifth level.
So although this sword is not enough to completely defeat the tornado, it is enough to penetrate a hole that can allow him to pass through with one sword.
After turning around and jumping into the tornado, Yao Ruoyu glanced at him and felt sure.
As he thought, the inside of the tornado was like nature. Although the external power was terrifying, the internal wind was calm and there was no danger.
At a slight point under his feet, Yao Ruoyu jumped out again, and the sword light in his hand lit up again. He penetrated the bottom of the tornado on the other side, and directly penetrated it, and came to the second head of the house.
As early as the moment when Yao Ruoyu rushed into the tornado, the second leader had already felt it, but Yao Ruoyu's movements were too fast. Before he could understand, Yao Ruoyu had already penetrated the wind wall again and came to him.
"Five breaths left!"
With his eyes narrowed, Yao Ruoyu mobilized the true energy in his body, and he raised his sword and slashed it.
If it were usual, the Second Head would have been shocked. After all, the spiritual master's melee ability is mostly weak. Moreover, Yao Ruoyu's body fluctuations are obviously in the four realms. Once he wants to get close, the Second Head Head may not be able to escape even if he is protected by the altar.
But at this moment, the second leader was full of violence and was completely filled with negative emotions. He didn't care about the sword's edge when facing him, and he just flicked his sleeves and continued to control the altar.
With a squeak, Yao Ruoyu penetrated the second head of the chest with a sword, and the frost sword force suddenly burst and scattered, blowing a hole in his chest.
With such injuries, the second in commander was bound to die. However, when he was dying, the fierce light in his eyes did not weaken at all. He stomped his feet with the last strength, and then he leaned down.
Seeing the other party dead, Yao Ruoyu was not at all happy. He keenly sensed that the bone altar under the second head of the second head was trembling wildly, and countless bones on the surface were shaking violently, as if they would explode out of it at any time.
In the last breath of ten breaths, Yao Ruoyu had only time to lift the sword tip. While letting himself jump back with all his might, he used his best to guide the spiritual energy of the explosion of the altar in other directions. Then he quickly dissipated his true energy and stopped the operation of the two secret techniques.
As soon as he stopped, Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned from rosy to pale.
The secret technique is to ignite one's own spiritual power and make it wield twice as powerful as it was in its peak period. It is a secret technique to sublimate the spiritual power into true energy. These two secret techniques are so mysterious that they cannot be used at will by Yao Ruoyu, who is at the third level and one level, not to mention operating two secret techniques at the same time.
If he hadn't had a special physique and had natural affinity and control over spiritual power, he probably wouldn't have even used the five-breath true energy just now.
Even so, his meridians were withered at this moment, and the purple palace was even more painful. He almost lost all his spiritual power and turned into a useless person.
Although Yao Ruoyu set out his sword in time to guide the spiritual tide elsewhere during the last breath, it was already at the end of his strength at that time, and he rushed to stop the secret technique, so a powerful spiritual energy still rushed towards him wildly.
As long as it is affected by that psychic energy, Yao Ruoyu's current physical condition will definitely be severely injured on the spot or even die directly.
"Southern Ming Secret Sutra..."
"!"
Just as Yao Ruoyu was about to be swallowed and torn apart by that spiritual energy, a cute and proud voice suddenly rang out of the village. Then, Yao Ruoyu, who was about to fall into a coma, felt a heat in his body, and several streams of fire emerged out of thin air, turning around him into a shield.
"Beast Spirit Secret Technique..."
"!"
Li Yilin's voice rang out, and several pieces of tortoise shells were condensed from the void by spiritual energy, protecting Yao Ruoyu firmly behind.
Boom boom boom, after several roars, the spiritual energy caused by the explosion of the Bone Altar finally came into contact with Yao Ruoyu. First, the several tortoise shells shook for several breaths and then collapsed and decomposed. Then the flame-burning shield also lasted for several seconds, but in the end it was still shattered by the violent spiritual energy.
However, when the two blocked the spiritual energy one after another, Yang Renjie and Fu Feng had already arrived beside Yao Ruoyu.
"!"
"!"
While two roars exploded, Yang Renjie and Fu Feng rushed to the front of the spiritual energy one by one.
Yang Renjie, who was able to condense purple lightning, naturally had to be fast. When he grabbed it in one step, the purple thunder sword in his hand had turned into purple lightning and slashed out, dividing the huge spiritual energy into two.
Fu Feng, who followed closely, raised the iron sword, poured the rock tiger's true energy into the blade, and then used the sword as a shield to protect Yao Ruoyu, completely blocking the scattered spiritual tide.
Seeing everyone joining forces to protect him, Yao Ruoyu smiled happily, but then there was a sharp pain in his eyebrows. The sequelae of forced exercising and finally couldn't suppress it.
Holding the pain that seemed to burst at any time between his eyebrows, Yao Ruoyu gritted his teeth and whispered: "Wait until I wake up..." Before he finished speaking, he had tried his best to finally turn dark in front of him and completely fainted.
Seeing Yao Ruoyu fainted, Wu Xue and Li Yilin were immediately anxious. Fortunately, Yang Renjie was quite steady when he was serious. He quickly stabilized everyone. He looked around and saw three unconscious bandits left. He immediately said sternly: "Master, Xunhuan, kill them all!"
"You have to!" Chen Meng, who had not had time to take action just now, was in annoyance. He grinned and rushed to the only three remaining bandits with Li Yilin.
At the same time, Wu Xue and Yang Renjie returned to the entrance of the village and found the bodies of the three officers and soldiers. In Wu Xue's tears, the two dug a pit next to them and buried the three.
Chen Meng, who had finally chased the last escaped bandit, just came back with a knife when he saw Wu Xue sitting in front of the grave wiping tears. He was shocked and said in horror: "Brother Demon is gone?"
"Not you!" Fu Feng rolled his eyes in anger, "The old demon is alive, but then again, how could you be in Wulong's thief?"
Tickling his forehead, a hint of fear suddenly passed through Chen Meng's bearded face, and she said panic: "Oh no! I forgot!"
(Can you forget this?)
Everyone was sweating profusely when they heard this, and they were unable to complain.
"No, no," Chen Meng knew that everyone had misunderstood, quickly waved her hand and said anxiously, "When we left, the boss said that if we didn't go back at dinner, it means I had betrayed. He would kill Sister Jiang and Jingru with his own hands."
Everyone changed their color when they heard this, and Li Yilin was even more furious and said sternly: "What's the reason? What if you encounter a strong enemy and are chased and can't go back?"
"I told him, but he ignored me at all..." Chen Meng said with a crooked mouth.
"Ahem, cute master, no matter how you speak, don't be cute?" Fu Feng said awkwardly after wiping the cold sweat on his head.
"How can I be cute?" Chen Meng stared at him with an innocent face.
Seeing his big bearded face full of innocentness, Wu Xue giggled and said, "Are you using your life to be cute?"
Touching his face, Chen Meng muttered depressedly: "It's not my fault to be old..."
Yes, looking old... Chen Meng's biggest problem is looking old.
Although Chen Meng, like Li Yilin, is a freshman and is less than 20 years old, he has a face that is at least thirty years old. Because of this, every time he holds an event, he is often mistaken for being a teacher.
The most embarrassing thing is that Chen Meng has extremely prominent facial features, thick eyebrows, small eyes, big nose and big mouth, and square face, so whenever his face changes due to emotional fluctuations, his expression and mature temperament at the age of thirty always give people a sense of cuteness.
Li Yilin laughed and said, "Master, it's not your fault to be old, but it's your fault to be cute!"
He looked up and glared at them, and Yang Renjie said angrily: "I said you can feel a little nervous? Think about how to save Sister Jiang and Jingru first?"
When everyone heard this, they fell silent. Only one second leader and dozens of bandits forced them into such a mess. If they went to the Wulong thief's nest, they would be afraid that the situation would be even more dangerous. With such a huge gap in strength, everyone would never think of how to save the second daughter.
After looking at the sky, Yang Renjie frowned and said, "Let's go, it's still early to sunset. Find a place to rest first, and wait until the old demon wakes up before discussing countermeasures."
Everyone nodded silently, then Chen Meng carried Yao Ruoyu on his back, and the group quickly left here.
