Chapter 102: 100% Sure

With Zhu Cheng's strength, splitting mountains and cracking rocks with one punch is just a piece of cake. If it is a Taoist priest in the Return to the True Reality stage, as long as he gets within ten steps, he will be seriously injured, and within three steps, he can be fatal.

Zhu Cheng's figure moved again, like a giant beast rushing forward. When he got three feet in front of Zhang Yuelu, he took a step forward and stepped deeply into the ground. While stopping his forward momentum, the whole person was like a bow and a full moon. The fist shrank in his chest was like a bow and an arrow, and then he punched out fiercely, like a crossbow shooting, each section was like a firecracker, and the whole action was done in an instant.

Zhang Yuelu instantly used the "Taiyi Five Smoke Net", and there was an external aura surrounding his body, showing a colorful color, which seemed to exist and not exist, like virtual and real, and like smoke.

Zhu Cheng's punch landed on the smoke net and was stagnant for a moment.

Zhu Cheng took one step forward with his front foot, and followed closely with his back foot. His back foot did not exceed his front foot. Compared with the ordinary people who walk with their back foot exceeding their front foot by one step, it was only half a step.

Then he shrank his fist and sent it out from the middle of his chest and abdomen. Its shape was short and its force was fierce, like a collapsing arrow piercing the heart, like a mountain collapsing and cracking the ground. This is the "half-step collapsing fist" of the warrior Yuxu stage.

At the beginning, Qi Xuansu was seriously injured and half dead by Zhuge Yongming with this martial arts magic.

Facing such a close-range punch from a martial artist, no matter how mysterious the "Taiyi Five Smoke Net" was, it could not defeat the cleverness of force. After a slight resistance, the "Taiyi Five Smoke Net" was completely shattered by this punch, and then the fist continued to attack Zhang Yuelu's head. It was obvious that he would not stop until her head was blown up.

At this time, the "Taiyi Five Smoke Net" condensed by the true qi around Zhang Yuelu had completely disintegrated and disappeared. If she was hit in the chest and abdomen by this punch, even if she was lucky enough not to die, she would be a dying person.

Zhang Yuelu retreated without hesitation.

Zhu Cheng followed closely.

Zhang Yuelu had retreated to a dead end, with no room for retreat.

Zhu Cheng was about to attack, but felt a pain in his back.

He slowly lowered his head.

He saw a short sword piercing his entire chest.

This was an extremely unexpected sneak attack, leaving Zhu Cheng no time to react.

Then Qi Xuansu's face appeared from behind Zhu Cheng, smiling at Zhang Yuelu.

This scene was exactly the same as when Qi Niang killed Zhuge Yongming.

Otherwise, how could it be said that Qi Xuansu was taught by Qi Niang, and he would sneak attack instead of fighting head-on.

But this was also a reasonable sword.

Whether it was the realm of flesh and blood derivatives or the realm of mind connecting the heavens, the warriors were only physically strong, and the speed of healing external injuries was extremely fast. Only the parts of the body and spirit that condensed the acupoints were relatively strong, and the rest were not as good as the golden body of the witch. Only after reaching the realm of seeing the gods indestructible, the warriors' physical strength would advance by leaps and bounds, comparable to the golden body.

In this case, Qi Xuansu's "Qingyuan" in the form of a spiritual object could completely break Zhu Cheng's defense by attacking from behind.

Moreover, Qi Xuansu is now in the Yuxu stage, which is only a realm gap, far from being insurmountable or a world of difference.

In fact, Taoism has opposed the realm theory since a long time ago, just like military strategists never think that more people will definitely win, otherwise they can just compare who has more people, and can only say that more people have a greater advantage. Similarly, a higher realm also has a greater advantage, but it does not mean a sure win.

However, Zhu Cheng has not died yet, but because the heart is the root of the body's qi and blood, he lost the power to resist for a while.

Zhang Yuelu took this opportunity to slap Zhu Cheng's temples on both sides with both palms, one left and one right.

Zhu Cheng's face suddenly flushed, and his eyeballs bulged out, as if they were about to jump out of their sockets. Then, bright red blood flowed from the corners of his eyes, nostrils, ear holes, and mouth.

It is true that a warrior can reproduce flesh and blood, but there is one part that cannot be restored, that is the head, at least not within the scope of the innate.

Qi Xuansu pulled out the "Qingyuan" and stepped back a few steps.

After losing his support, Zhu Cheng fell to the ground with an unwilling look on his face.

Zhang Yuelu breathed a sigh of relief, his face slightly pale.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help asking: "Qingxiao, are you okay?"

Zhang Yuelu shook her head: "I'm fine, but the damage is a bit big."

After that, she took a pill from the Xumi object and put it in her mouth.

In fact, she had taken pills before, but the effect was not very obvious. The reason is very simple. Except for some top-notch elixirs, most elixirs require a digestion process. However, since Zhang Yuelu entered the Yishan City, she has hardly had time to digest the elixirs, which has caused her to be in a situation where the true energy in her body has been insufficient. The opponents she encountered were not ordinary people. The worst was at the stage of returning to the true nature. There were also hermits like Xie Qiuniang, who had mastered the unique knowledge of Confucianism and Taoism, and was not inferior to Zhang Yuelu, the exiled immortal.

In addition, the series of fierce battles also greatly consumed her physical strength and mind. After all, fighting with others is not to repeat the same thing numbly, but to constantly change strategies, find flaws, etc., which consumes a lot of mind. The more evenly matched the opponent is, the more it consumes the mind.

This caused Zhang Yuelu to be like an ordinary person who ran hundreds of miles when facing Zhu Cheng, and every step she took was very difficult. In other words, Zhu Cheng and others actually relied on continuous round-robin battles to almost defeat Zhang Yuelu. If it were someone else, such as Wang Zicheng, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago.

Zhang Yuelu took a breath and his complexion improved slightly. He then transformed the "Wuxiang Paper" into a paper sword: "There is another scholar..."

Qi Xuansu held her wrist and said seriously: "Leave it to me."

"You?" Zhang Yuelu glanced at Qi Xuansu in surprise, "Tianyuan, it's not that I underestimate you, but the gap in realm is really..."

Qi Xuansu said softly: "I am already at the Yuxu stage."

"When did you enter the Yuxu stage?" Zhang Yuelu was surprised. In fact, if she had used the "Immortal Qi Watching Technique", she would have discovered this a long time ago, but she would not use the "Immortal Qi Watching Technique" to observe for no reason. Qi Xuansu, because he was worried about Qi Xuansu's safety, suffered a lot of losses, and also thought about how to completely solve the "divine descent", etc., failed to detect it in time.

Qi Xuansu let go of Zhang Yuelu's wrist and said half truthfully: "When we were at Yulan Temple, after the moving Buddha statue was broken into pieces, I found a bead inside, which looked like the legendary demon pill. Yanxiu made a sneak attack After that, I swallowed the bead in one gulp. Not only did my injuries heal, but my cultivation level increased greatly, and I escaped from the Bon Temple in one breath. "

"Demon pill?" Zhang Yuelu had heard of it, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, let alone taken it. Due to the great power of the Taoist sect, most of the demons have disappeared. Those who still dare to walk in the world have mostly surrendered and submitted to the Taoist sect. There are also many demons in Kunlun Cave, but they all prepare "medicine" for the Taoist sect. "Gardener", so demon elixirs are already rare.

It was precisely because of Zhang Yuelu's unfamiliarity and understanding that Qi Xuansu had the possibility to get through. After all, in the next period of time, Qi Xuansu will have to get along with Zhang Yuelu day and night, and it is impossible to hide it forever. Rather than being discovered by Zhang Yuelu and falling into passivity, it is better to admit it on his own initiative, so that the initiative is still in his hands.

However, Zhang Yuelu still knew a thing or two about the general function of the demon pill. According to the records in the book, the demon pill can be used as medicine and can greatly improve the realm of cultivation, which is no less than many treasures of heaven and earth. If the same monster swallows the opponent's demon elixir, the effect will be more obvious, and most of the opponent's cultivation can be obtained almost immediately.

Zhang Yuelu said: "The book says that taking the demon pill directly has great side effects. It is extremely dangerous when taking it. If you are not careful, it will be life-threatening. This is one. The second is that after taking it, various manifestations will appear on the human body. Animal-like characteristics, a drastic change in temperament, either madness, cruelty and bloodlust, or lust for sex, and impure cultivation. In the long run, these external things will be detrimental to the realm of cultivation. "

"During the Xuansheng era, there was an expert named Tang Zhou who was once the leader of the Qingyang Sect. Because of taking unrefined 'Kilin Blood' and demon pills, although his cultivation level greatly increased, he also lost his mind. The madness spreads, and the body is like a beast, and the end is very miserable. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu and said seriously: "Tianyuan, if you feel something is wrong, you must tell me in time."

Qi Xuansu nodded and said: "I feel okay. I think the demon pill has been refined by others. These demons used it to drive the Buddha statue, which actually gave me an advantage."

"This is probably a chance. It's a blessing in disguise for you." Zhang Yuelu did not doubt the lie. Firstly, she trusted Qi Xuansu very much and would not think too deeply about it. Secondly, Qi Xuansu said half-truth and half-falsehood. Not only can it be used as medicine, but it can also be refined into magic weapons, so it is theoretically possible to use demon pills to turn dead objects into semi-living ones. The simplest example is the Taoist flying boat. The dragon ball that drives the flying boat is also a demon pill in a sense.

Qi Xuansu said softly: "So you can rest assured. With my ability, even if I can't kill him, it shouldn't be difficult to protect myself."

It’s hard for Zhang Yuelu to refute, because in terms of performance, Qi Xuansu killed Diswen first, then Bai Yongguan, and also killed Hantrick and two Wu Zhu in the middle. Although they were all sneak attacks, they were both at a higher level than him. The taller person even made Zhang Yuelu, a proud woman of heaven, feel a little inferior to him.

However, Zhang Yuelu still said: "Then tell me, how sure are you of killing him?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I dare not say 100%, but there is still 50%."

Zhang Yuelu asked again: "How sure are you of protecting yourself?"

Qi Xuansu said directly: "Ten percent."

Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu and said seriously: "Now is not the time to show off as a hero. Whether you can kill the scholar is another matter. The key is that you don't have any accidents."

Qi Xuansu suddenly came close to Zhang Yuelu. The distance between their noses was only about three inches. His eyes looked directly at Zhang Yuelu, calm and cold, without the usual pretense.

Zhang Yuelu did not expect Qi Xuansu to be so bold. Caught off guard, he subconsciously took two steps back and leaned his back against the wall, his face slightly red.

Qi Xuansu didn't go any further and just said softly: "Qingxiao, I'm 100% sure that you can come back safely."

After saying that, Qi Xuansu stepped back and soon disappeared.
