Chapter 82: The Luo family surrenders and worships the city lord
Sensing Yao Ruoyu's murderous intent, Xu Qiu immediately bit his teeth. Without hesitation, he directly condensed a sharp blade and slashed it hard at his left hand. With a slight sound, his entire palm was directly cut off by him.
He grabbed his broken hand and Xu Qiu stared at Yao Ruoyu nervously while muttering something. Suddenly, his broken hand slowly evaporated wisps of smoke, attracting the surrounding evil spirits to gather, burning the broken hand like flames.
He keenly noticed the fluctuations of the spiritual energy in Xu Qiu, and Yao Ruoyu's heart suddenly became terrified. Seeing that the explosions around him were gradually weakening, he stopped suppressing him and swung his sword directly. As soon as the blue sword light took shape, it twisted and slashed out, crossing several meters of distance, and slashed straight towards Xu Qiu's position.
However, Yao Ruoyu reacted quickly, but Xu Qiu's movements were faster. Just before the sword light came, Xu Qiu's broken hand had been completely burned by the evil Yin power, turning into wisps of smoke and dissipated into the void.
Bang!
The next moment when the broken hand was completely burned out, Yao Ruoyu's sword light had already fallen with endless destruction. However, before this sword could completely kill Xu Qiu, a ball of earthly evil forces that emerged out of thin air suddenly rushed out, completely wrapping the entire sword light, then shattering and annihilation, floating for nothingness.
Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he saw this, and then he took a few steps back as if he was facing a great enemy, looking at Xu Qiu vigilantly, because until this moment, a fluctuation of spiritual energy that was more than twice as powerful as before suddenly emerged from Xu Qiu's body. It was with the support of this force that Xu Qiu was able to induce the Yin power of the Earth Demon to resolve his attack.
Looking at his broken hand, Xu Qiu's cheeks kept twitching, and finally slowly looked up at Yao Ruoyu. The resentment contained in his eyes was as deep as the sea. Even if Yao Ruoyu was completely killed, it would be difficult to resolve the hatred in this person's heart.
As the Ghost Lord described in his memory, this hall is indeed the Earth Demon Tongyuan Hall. However, although the Xu family has strong financial resources, it is far from enough to support a Earth Demon Tongyuan Hall. Therefore, when it was built, Xu Qiu deliberately changed the spiritual array and the spiritual patterns in the hall. This not only reduced the effect of gathering spirits in the hall by half, but also left a disadvantage.
If it is a normal Earth Demon Tongyuan Hall, its owner can naturally control the spiritual array in the hall and the suppression power in the hall, and adjust it to an appropriate proportion. However, due to the financial resources of the Xu family, this incomplete Tongyuan Hall does not have this function. However, for the sake of security, Xu Qiu still retains the function that can make himself ignore the suppression power.
However, after all, this hall is incomplete, so although this function is retained, there is an unchangeable condition, that is, every time this function is turned on, the user's flesh and blood are required to fill the consumption of the spiritual array.
If Yao Ruoyu had just come in, Xu Qiu could sacrifice part of his essence and blood, and he could activate this function without breaking his limbs. However, when Xu Qiu spit out his essence and blood to strengthen the treasure Qi Tower, he was in a weak state and could only cut off his left hand in exchange for the spiritual array in the palace to activate this function.
"Killing my children will destroy my bloodline, and even causing me to cut off my left hand. This kind of blood hatred... Yao Ruoyu, I will not kill you, but I will castrate you and your friends, a man castrated him and sent him to a brothel as a turtle man, and a woman sent him to a brothel as a prostitute, making you regret what you did today day and night!"
Hearing Xu Qiu's words, Yao Ruoyu suddenly felt a violent aura in his heart. The murderous intent that had been suppressed before could not stop surging. Every time there was a trace of violent aura, the sword power became sharper. When the violent aura completely filled his mind, the sword power surrounding him swayed violently, completely sublimating into a more sharp and sharp artistic conception.
This is……
Exclusive to the Five Realms, the meaning of swordsmanship!
The moment when the sword intent was sublimated again, Yao Ruoyu smiled grimly, and the true energy rushed into the sword edge to condense the sword light. Then his body moved and rose out like a phantom. The sword light exploded like a shocking rainbow, and in a blink of an eye it crossed several feet of distance and fell straight towards Xu Qiu's head.
Before coming to Hezhou, I had no hatred with the Xu family, but when the Xu family blocked me from ascending to the throne of the city lord, I would definitely have a battle with the Xu family. What's more, I hate others' threats the most in my life, especially with these people I care about the most. Such actions... I will be killed with one sword!
With a sword swing, the blue sword light really came out of the abyss like a divine dragon, and the dazzling light shone on every corner of the hall. The sword intent surrounding the sword edge was constantly cut and shattered, shattering and destroying the surrounding evil forces one by one, completely turning them into nothingness.
Feeling the power of Yao Ruoyu's sword, Xu Qiu's smile suddenly froze. He quickly controlled all the evil spirits around him to gather. Then he made a seal with his fingers, and saw a character seal faintly condensed from his fingertips. Suddenly, all the evil spirits around him changed, covering them with a layer of colorful treasure light shining with brilliant colors.
This layer of treasure light is not purely for cover-up, but also gives this earthly evil spirit power a grand disguise, greatly weakening the restraint of the true energy power on the earthly evil spirit power.
"Putting the cart before the horse is upside down, stupidity is too great to stop!"
The corner of his lips was slightly pulled, and Yao Ruoyu directly released his spiritual consciousness to cover him, and instantly saw the weakest part of the seven-colored treasure light. His sword light was originally formed by the blessing of his thoughts. As his thoughts changed, the sword tip in his hand suddenly turned to the weak part he noticed, slashed hard at that position, and easily tore the precious light that was scattered with grand atmosphere.
Then, Yao Ruoyu, who used his spiritual consciousness to capture the weak point of the Earth Evil Yin power, swung it out with his sword, and pierced it lightly, and then the destructive sword intent surrounding the sword edge swept up and completely destroyed it.
Yao Ruoyu's "Secret Sword in the Heart" practiced by him originally emphasizes meaning over power. If the artistic conception reaches its level, the power will naturally become stronger. Just like before, although he, who only realized the sword power, was able to use his spiritual consciousness to capture the weakness of Xu Qiu's release of spiritual energy, it was far from so natural and relaxed.
Moreover, in the era when "The Secret Sword in the Heart" was spread all over the world, this set of sword control techniques was also called, which can be said to be the most powerful set of spiritual techniques in that era. The fundamental reason is that the practitioners of "The Secret Sword in the Heart" were able to accurately capture all the flaws of martial arts, intention, soul, domain and spiritual energy, and then use the technique of thinking as the sword to break it.
Yao Ruoyu understood the meaning of martial arts, and his realm had exceeded the four realms where Xu Qiu was. Therefore, he was able to clearly capture the weakness of Xu Qiu's spiritual attack with his spiritual consciousness, which means that all Xu Qiu's attacks at this moment were useless to him and could only be slaughtered.
After the two swords broke through the seven-colored treasure light and the earthly evil spirit power, Yao Ruoyu's thoughts moved, and the sword light in his hand turned and rose again, staring at Xu Qiu, who was gradually panicking. The murderous thought in his heart grew, and the sword intent that was blessed around the sword light became sharper, and the destructive artistic conception was even more surging, constantly shattering and destroying the surrounding earthly evil spirit power.
"Xu Qiu, die!"
When the sword intent was accumulated to its peak, Yao Ruoyu slashed down without hesitation. At this moment, his heart was full of murderous intent. If he did not kill Xu Qiu, it would have really made him confused. He simply ignored his agreement with Luo He and planned to kill Xu Qiu directly.
boom!
As the sword fell, dazzling blue light filled the hall, as if the entire hall was flooded by sea water. The destructive sword intent surrounding the sword lights skyrocketed one after another, shattering the defensive spirits that blessed Xu Qiu in front of him one by one.
Yao Ruoyu was just an ordinary person before traveling through time and was not well aware of sword skills. Even after traveling through time, he did not practice sword skills orthodoxly, so he did not know any advanced sword skills. He could only integrate the desire to destroy and aggression transformed by his inner anger and the murderous intent of Wanyan Shusong to forcibly evolve his own sword skills.
There is no skill, no fancy, no gorgeousness, just using swordsmanship to release the inner anger and the courage to determine life and death with one sword!
When the destructive sword intent swept through and broke Xu Qiu's last defensive spirit, the sword light inside had already rushed into Xu Qiu's chest without any obstacles. The sharp sword light condensed like a thread, directly piercing his chest.
Looking at the blood suddenly splashing out from his chest, Xu Qiu's pupils spread slightly, and his legs became weak, and he fell to the ground directly, then covered his chest and started to scream in a shrill manner.
Although Yao Ruoyu's sword was fast and the sword intent of Zhouquan was surging like a tide, the sword light inside was actually only a thread, so although it penetrated Xu Qiu's chest, it did not hurt his heart, which made the old thief survive.
Seeing Xu Qiu screaming and rolling all over the ground, Yao Ruoyu breathed slowly and stopped the operation of the two major tricks and secret techniques. His body suddenly sank. After losing his true energy and the cultivation level of the fourth level, he naturally could not resist the suppression power in the palace.
However, Xu Qiu was defeated at this moment, so there was no need to worry about this. Yao Ruoyu first recalled the Shuangxi Sword that was falling in the distance and put it in the scabbard. Then he walked forward, grabbed Xu Qiu and dragged him to the gate of Tongyuan Palace.
Seeing this, Xu Qiu was shocked and hurriedly begged for mercy, swearing that he would hand over all the money of the Xu family to Yao Ruoyu, just to let his life go.
But Yao Ruoyu, who had decided to do so, wouldn't he pay attention to him? Seeing this, Xu Qiu, the desperate, simply cursed viciously. Unfortunately, he didn't scold him for a few words, Yao Ruoyu had already opened the door of Tongyuan Palace and dragged him out.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Earth Demon Tongyuan Hall, he saw a group of soldiers standing outside the door, all of whom were nervous. Even a few people trembled even harder when he stepped out of the hall, and they didn't know what they were afraid of.
With a slight frown, Yao Ruoyu glanced at him and saw Yang Renjie, Fu Feng, Chen Meng and others standing among the group of soldiers. At the same time, Zhou Zhi, Wang Jin, Luo He, Bai Qiuyu and others were also standing behind everyone, looking over with complicated expressions.
Compared to the complex expressions of others, Luo He did not have too many concerns. Seeing Yao Ruoyu dragging Xu Qiu out, he immediately separated the crowd and strode out, bowed to Yao Ruoyu, then pulled out the hammer at his waist, looked at Xu Qiu deeply, and then swung the hammer and smashed it down, smashing his head directly.
After killing Xu Qiu with one hammer, Luo He gasped violently for a few times, then turned to Yao Ruoyu, knelt down on one knee with a respectful expression, and said in a deep voice: "From today, my Luo family respects you as the lord, and will do our best to help you obtain the throne of the city lord. If you violate this oath, I will definitely let me break and die like this old thief Xu Qiu!"
