Chapter 736: Stealing the Sword
Small-scale monks fight, and they pay attention to planning and strategy, with various methods and many variables.
Large-scale monk battles gather together and rush to kill in a swarm, but they pay more attention to the simple conversion of offense and defense.
In both offense and defense, if you have an advantage on one end, you have a greater chance of winning.
The same goes for the conflict with Duanjinmen.
Being able to defeat gold armor and defend against gold-based Taoism, if the cultivation level is equivalent, once they charge into a fight, they will have the upper hand.
But this is facing ordinary Duanjinmen disciples.
Ordinary disciples of the Golden Breaking Sect, practice gold-based exercises, gold spiritual power spells and martial arts.
Even if they practice sword techniques, they are still practicing ordinary gold-type sword techniques, or the entry-level Broken Metal Sword Technique.
Kejin armor can protect you.
But the core disciples are different.
Most of the core disciples of Duanjin Sect have excellent sword cultivation qualifications. They practice the most orthodox Duanjin Sword Control Technique and wear top-grade gold-based spiritual swords.
A small part of the power of their sword arts comes from the metal spiritual power, but its core power comes from the pure gold-breaking sword energy.
This kind of sword energy is even more powerful with the blessing of a high-grade golden sword.
The Three-Legged Cat's Broken Gold Sword Qi is much stronger than what Mo Hua cultivated himself.
It is also much more powerful than the sword technique used by Mo Hua at the beginning, the man who stole the Jinmen inheritance, betrayed the family, and kidnapped the monks.
Boss Jiang’s sword technique was stolen.
His own inheritance is not considered orthodox, and his power cannot be compared with that of these core direct disciples.
"Breaking Gold Sword Control Technique..."
Mo Hua thought silently in his heart.
He now realized that he seemed to have underestimated this sword art.
As one of the twelve tiers, Duanjinmen's Zhen Sect Sword Technique has a long history and is far from being as simple as he thought.
If you want to use gold-restraining armor to restrain ordinary gold-type Taoism, it's okay.
But it's a bit whimsical to use to restrain the Golden-Breaking Sword Technique.
Thinking about it, if he was really so restrained, he would have had his front teeth knocked out long ago in order to break the virtue of the Jinmen disciples, and he would not be so arrogant.
It is impossible for Duan Jinmen to stay in the top 12 ranks of Qianxue for so long.
But difficulty in restraint does not necessarily mean that there is no means of restraint.
Even if you try everything, you may not succeed.
But if you don’t try, you are doomed to fail.
Mo Hua decided to study it carefully...
In the dining hall where the disciples lived, Mo Hua held his cheek, thought for a while, and then asked Situ Jian beside him:
"Situ, is the sword cultivator's spiritual sword very important?"
Situ Jian was startled and nodded, "That's natural."
If a sword cultivator loses his sword, is he still called a sword cultivator?
"How important is it specifically?" Mo Hua asked again.
Situ Jian thought for a while and said, "Swordsmanship is a special Taoist method. This Taoist method emphasizes the integration of man and sword."
"The primary level of human-sword integration refers to the integration of the monk's spiritual power with the spiritual sword, thus triggering stronger sword energy."
"Without the spiritual sword, the sword energy stimulated by the monks is actually not very different from ordinary spells in terms of power. But once there is the blessing of the spiritual sword, the power of the sword technique will reach a higher level."
"Sword cultivators with swords and sword cultivators without swords are two completely different types of monks. There is a huge difference."
"There is a saying in the world of swordsmanship, a swordsman is like a dragon if he has a sword, and a swordsman is worse than a dog without a sword. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it also shows the importance of swords to swordsmen."
"Physical cultivation relies on the physical body, spiritual cultivation relies on the sea of qi, and sword cultivation relies heavily on swords."
"A good sword can make a swordsman even more powerful, and even change his destiny."
"Therefore, all sword cultivators regard their spiritual swords as treasures, and they all dream of a supreme divine sword."
Situ Jian said this with longing.
"oh……"
Mo Hua was a little confused.
Although Situ's words are very good, his ink paintings always lack real feeling.
This is the emphasis of orthodox swordsmanship, and it seems to have little to do with him.
Mo Hua is self-aware. His foundation is really poor and he has no family background. In the path of orthodox sword cultivation, he is not only a thousand and eight hundred steps behind others, but he is destined not to go far...
"What does the higher level of 'human and sword unity' look like?" Mo Hua asked.
Situ Jian shook his head, "That involves profound sword intent. I haven't cultivated it yet, so I don't understand it well."
"Okay," Mo Hua nodded.
He is just the opposite.
Sword Qi and sword weapons are integrated into one, so compared to other sword cultivators, he basically knows nothing about it.
But he was quite familiar with sword intent.
After all, he has already learned the "Sword Transformation" style of using his spiritual thoughts to transform swords.
It's just that the sword of divine will created by his crude "sword transformation style" is probably not an orthodox sword intention.
"Then why does the sword weapon increase the power of the sword energy?" Mo Hua asked again.
So far, the only methods he has seen that can increase spiritual power are the Five Elements Source Formation and the Five Elements Source Armor with the Five Elements Source Formation painted on it.
Apart from this, all spiritual weapons do not have the effect of "spiritual power amplification".
The Five Elements Origin Formation is the Five Elements Sect's most powerful skill. It is also a unique formation that is extremely difficult to learn and pass on.
At present, he is the only one with the Five Elements Source A.
But swords are different. Although the method of forging swords is rare and is treasured by major sects and sects to prevent external rumors, compared with the Five Elements Source Formation, it is actually more "popular".
Mo Hua thought for a moment and added:
"Is it because of the sword formation?"
"Yes." Situ Jian said, "The spirit sword can increase the sword energy precisely because when the spirit sword is forged, the sword formation is sealed inside, and the sword and the formation are integrated."
"In this way, spiritual power is injected into the spiritual sword, and after the sword formation circulates, the sword energy stimulated becomes even sharper."
Mo Hua asked again: "Have you ever seen a sword formation?"
"No." Situ Jian shook his head, "The inheritance of the sword formation is the core secret of the family. Even the direct formation masters in the family cannot learn it easily."
"The requirements are so strict?"
"Very strict." Situ Jian said solemnly, "I don't know much about other families. Take the Situ family as an example. The inheritance of the Lihuo Sword Formation is extremely strict..."
"It will not be passed on to those who are not from my clan, not to those who marry into the family, not to those who marry outside, and not to those who are not direct lineage. Even if they are direct lineage, if they want to learn the sword formation, they must sign a 'death contract' and make an oath, and the person can die. Only if the law cannot be taught can you be qualified to learn the sword formation..."
Mo Hua was a little stunned when he heard this.
He had only heard from Master Gu before that the sword formation was the core inheritance of the kendo family and was very precious.
I just didn’t expect it to be so precious...
But the more this happened, the more curious he became.
What exactly does the sword array look like...
Think of a way and do some research.
Mo Hua's thoughts moved and he couldn't help but take a look at Situ Jian's Lihuo Sword hidden in the scabbard.
Situ Jian's heart trembled, and he subconsciously protected the Lihuo Sword in his hand.
The two looked at each other, and Mo Hua asked in a low voice:
"Can you show it to me?"
Situ Jian looked confused, "Senior Brother, you... won't dismantle it..."
Mo Hua nodded immediately, "No, no! I'll just take a look..."
Seeing that Situ Jian was still reluctant to part with him, Mo Hua said:
"It's right here, just take a look."
Situ Jian then reluctantly handed the Lihuo Sword, which he wore with him and regarded it as life, to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua took it solemnly and found that it was heavy and had a slight burning sensation.
I don't know what the sword blade was made of. It was as crystal clear as jade, sharp as iron, and had a faint fiery red color.
Mo Hua squinted and looked at the hilt of the Lihuo Sword again, trying to see if there was any gap that could be taken apart.
Situ Jian immediately became nervous.
Fortunately, Mo Hua has no plans to actually dismantle it.
He looked around carefully and found that there was no place to start, so he solemnly returned the Lihuo Sword to Situ Jian, "Thank you."
Situ Jian felt relieved, took the Lihuo Sword and put it away immediately.
When the Lihuo Sword was placed in Mo Hua's hand, he always felt on tenterhooks.
The ink painting is contemplating on its own.
The Lihuo Sword is Situ's treasure, and it's not easy to get rid of. If it is really broken, it will be too embarrassing.
Mo Hua thought for a moment and then said to Situ Jian:
"Next week, let's go to Demon Refining Mountain and get some spiritual swords from Broken Golden Gate's hands..."
Part of the power of sword energy comes from the sword formation.
After dismantling the Broken Gold Sword, you can not only study the sword formation, but also study how to improve the gold-defying armor to defend against the real Broken Gold Sword Qi.
Situ Jian shook his head, "It's probably useless to snatch it away. There are usually self-destruction formations painted on the inside of the spirit sword. Once it is forcibly opened, the sword formation will self-destruct..."
Mo Hua was startled, thought about it, and thought it was right.
Since this sword array is so precious, it is normal to have some means of sealing it and self-destructing it.
But having said that, you still have to grab it.
Only after I snatched it back did I know whether it could be dismantled.
"It's okay, let's take a look first." Mo Hua said.
Situ Jian wanted to persuade him again, but he suddenly realized that if the younger brother didn't steal the golden sword, with his curious and inquisitive temperament, he would probably get rid of him sooner or later. On the Fire Sword...
Situ Jian's heart tightened and he nodded quickly:
"Yes, that's right! If you should grab it, grab it! If you don't grab a few and dismantle it, how can you know whether it will self-destruct?"
"Senior Brother, let me help you grab it together!"
It doesn't matter if the Broken Gold Sword of Broken Golden Gate is dismantled, as long as his Lihuo Sword is not dismantled.
The ink painting moved me deeply.
Situ Jian was also promoted to a "good guy" in his heart.
…
A few days later, Xunxiu arrived again.
Mo Hua called Cheng Mo, Situ Jian and others, and the group of five went to Demon Refining Mountain again.
Mo Hua didn't let the other disciples come.
Mo Hua has weighed it up and found that if he does not optimize the Kejin Armor and deal with the Broken Gold Sword Qi, the probability of injury to his group of junior brothers and sisters will be greatly increased, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Moreover, they wanted to "rob" something this time, so they focused on traveling lightly and quickly, and it was not good to have too many people.
Entering Demon Refining Mountain, Mo Hua was familiar with the road and soon discovered a small group of Duanjinmen disciples.
There were eight of them, headed by a "boy" who looked like a young master.
Mo Hua glanced at them and made a brief perception with his spiritual consciousness, and he had a rough judgment on their strength.
The cultivation base is all in the middle stage of foundation building.
Three are body cultivation, two are spiritual cultivation, and the other three are sword cultivation.
There is no sword in physical training and spiritual training, so there is nothing to grab.
Mainly those three sword cultivators.
Each of them is equipped with a golden spiritual sword, and the "little pretty face" who is the leader wears the highest quality spiritual sword, which is shining with gold.
The more I look at the ink paintings, the more I like them.
He decided that from now on, this sword would have the surname "Mo".
These few Golden Gate disciples were completely unaware of the approaching danger and were still chatting while searching the mountain:
"Those cowards from Taixu Sect are gone..."
"Don't you dare come."
"I'm afraid that if they know how good I am at breaking the Golden Gate, and have self-awareness, then they will know the truth."
Someone snorted coldly, "You dare to go against me in breaking the Golden Gate, you are so brave."
Some people are worried, "The gang of boys from Taixumen are very insidious. If they don't show up, I'm afraid they have some bad intentions, so it's better to be careful..."
The leader of the "boy" didn't take it seriously, "It doesn't matter, all these mountains and plains are now my disciples of Duanjinmen, how dare they..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a tall and strong disciple suddenly emerge from nowhere, slashing with his two axes. He was caught off guard and knocked down a proud and careless disciple of Duan Jinmen.
The pretty boy was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically.
"Enemy attack!"
But before they could react, Yang Qianjun rushed out again, with his spear like a dragon, and stabbed another Duanjinmen disciple from behind.
And Situ Jian's Lihuo Sword arrived in an instant.
The blazing fire, accompanied by the sharp sword energy, unexpectedly stabbed the thigh of a Jinmen disciple.
The Duanjinmen disciple wailed and fell to his knees.
Situ Jian succeeded with one blow and did not stop. Instead, he immediately activated twelve points of spiritual power and continued to attack the next disciple.
This time he took action with extra force and said silently in his heart:
We must help our little senior brother get the Broken Golden Sword!
In order to prevent the younger brother from thinking about Li Huojian again.
The pretty boy who was the core disciple of Duanjinmen was furious when he saw this. He was about to use his sword to fight the enemy, but as soon as he drew the sword halfway, he felt a sudden pain in the back of his head and became dizzy.
"Sap?!"
The pretty boy was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted, took out a golden amulet and tried to activate it.
But as soon as he took out the golden amulet, a fireball roared towards him and exploded on his arm.
He was in pain, his hand shook, and the golden amulet fell to the ground. It was too late to reach for it again.
Hao Xuan had already kicked the golden amulet away.
On the other side, these ordinary Duanjinmen disciples are no match for Cheng Mo, the "little junior brothers" who have rich experience, tacit cooperation, and have been "educated" by ink painting.
They were caught off guard and were attacked by surprise. Within ten rounds, four of them were captured, while the other three were too timid to step forward.
Cheng Mo and others started to get angry at the pretty boy.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the pretty boy immediately used the golden body technique to escape.
His movement skills were very good, and with a flash of golden light, the person had fled several feet away.
While escaping, he did not forget to say harsh words, "Despicable villain, just wait, I will come later..."
Before he finished speaking, a blue light flashed, and a chain came out of thin air, tying him up.
The pretty boy was shocked.
"What kind of spell is this?"
He was still about to struggle, but Cheng Mo had already rushed in front of him with long strides, and placed two big axes on the pretty boy's neck.
The pretty boy secretly hated himself and said angrily:
"A bunch of bastards! You..."
Cheng Mo went up and kicked him. The pretty boy was in pain. He held his stomach and swallowed the rest of the dirty words.
Mo Hua was not polite, his hands were like lightning, he unknowingly grabbed the broken golden sword around the pretty boy's waist, put it into his arms, and then said decisively without any hesitation:
"withdraw!"
He had already sensed that there were other Duanjinmen disciples rushing over after hearing the sound, and there seemed to be a lot of them.
At this time, withdraw if you can, and don't get entangled too much.
Cheng Mo and others also nodded.
Then the group of five people withdrew resolutely.
The pretty boy was stunned for a moment, and when he looked down, he realized that at some point, the broken golden sword on his waist had disappeared.
"My sword!"
He was furious for a moment.
When I looked up again, the surroundings were empty, and those few people were gone.
"A bunch of bastards! I won't let you go!"
The pretty boy gritted his teeth.
Within a moment, a group of Duanjinmen disciples gathered around and greeted the pretty boy.
"Brother Song, are you okay?"
The boy's face turned pale with anger.
Do you seem to be okay with this bunch of trash?
There was still a burning pain in his abdomen, but he couldn't care about that at this time. The Broken Golden Sword was more important.
This is the spiritual sword that he has cultivated for a long time and is ready to be used as the embryo of his natal spiritual sword.
"My sword was stolen!"
When everyone heard this, their expressions became solemn.
"Go!" the pretty boy said angrily, "find those little bastards and take my sword back!"
"yes!"
The disciples of Duanjinmen nodded in agreement.
There are two big families in Jinmen, one with the surname "Jin" and the other with the surname "Song".
This pretty boy surnamed Song is the other core direct lineage in Duanjinmen besides the Jin family.
Ordinary disciples would not dare to neglect his orders.
Afterwards, the disciples of Duanjinmen gathered together and began to search the mountain.
They thought that with so many disciples, it would not be easy to find out a few Taixu Sect disciples.
But soon, they discovered that they were wrong.
Mo Hua and the others seemed to have disappeared in the mountains, without any trace at all.
These Jinmen Duanmen disciples are all in the middle stage of foundation building, and their spiritual consciousness can only reach the fourteenth line.
With their spiritual consciousness, they could not detect the seventeen lines of spiritual consciousness and the ink paintings with qualitative changes in spiritual thoughts.
What's more, this is still in Demon Refining Mountain.
Mo Hua now knows the outer mountains of Lianyao Mountain very well. Walking in the mountains is as familiar and calm as walking in his own yard.
They want to find ink paintings in the mountains, which is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, it was not until Mo Hua had left the Demon Refining Mountain and returned to Taixu Sect that he carried the Broken Gold Spirit Sword in his arms.
The disciples of Duanjinmen were still searching around in the mountains like headless flies.
But it was already dark, and the monsters in the mountains began to become restless. They did not dare to stay in the mountains for a long time, so they had to give up and return to their clan.
The pretty boy who had his spiritual sword snatched away by Mo Hua returned to Duanjinmen with a gloomy look on his face. However, in front of the disciples, he met a tall and thin senior brother of Duanjinmen who was in the late stage of foundation building.
This person is Jin Gui.
When Jin Gui saw this pretty boy, he put a smile on his face and greeted him with cupped hands:
"Junior brother Song Jian."
The pretty boy who was called "Song Jian" frowned when he heard this, but he replied perfunctorily, "Senior Brother Jin."
It's just that the attitude seems neither salty nor light.
The two major families in Jinmen, the Jin family and the Song family, are not harmonious to begin with.
The actual positions of power within the sect, from the headmaster and deputy headmaster to the elders and disciples, were fought over between the two families, resulting in many rifts.
It's just that we belong to the same sect, and we don't have any disagreements on the surface.
"How's the mountain patrol going?" Jin Guipi asked with a smile.
Song Jian's face turned ugly, but he still said truthfully:
"The Taixu Sect is despicable. A large number of disciples dare not show their faces. Only a few disciples shamelessly attacked and snatched my Broken Gold Sword..."
Lost your sword?
Jin Gui sneered in his heart, and then sighed hypocritically:
"The spiritual sword is as important as life to a swordsman. How come Junior Brother Song can even throw away the spiritual sword..."
How could Song Jian not hear his strange aura? He felt slightly angry and said instead:
"Senior brother is right, even if you lose face, you must never lose this sword."
Jin Gui was startled, and his face instantly turned pale.
This was a mockery of him being stripped of his clothes and hung on a tree to draw turtles.
The two undermined and hurt each other.
Jin Gui then smiled and said, "How about I find some Jin family members tomorrow to take back the sword for Junior Brother Song?"
"No need," Song Jian said coldly, "My Song family will definitely get back the things they lost. If my Song family can't get it back, the Jin family will definitely not be able to either..."
The two looked at each other calmly, with evil eyes.
In the end, Jin Gui smiled and said, "Junior Brother Song, please take care of yourself."
Song Jian also said: "Senior Brother Jin, please seek blessings for yourself."
After that, the two people's expressions turned cold, and they passed each other, snorting coldly in their hearts at the same time:
It is still unclear whether the surname of Jinmen is Jin or Song...
After passing each other, they both returned to their disciples' residence, but thinking of all the experiences they had experienced, they felt resentful and had another thought.
Jin Gui's eyes turned red and he smashed the table:
"That kid who painted a turtle on my body, one day I will cut him into pieces!"
Song Jian crushed the tea cup and looked angry:
"That little bastard who robbed me of the Golden Spirit Sword, one day I will make him pay back a hundred times!"
…
At this moment, the ink drawing of a turtle on Jin Gui's body and snatching the spiritual sword from Song Jian's body was in the middle of the disciples, looking like a normal person, concentrating on studying the shining golden broken golden sword in his hand.
This is a very precious spiritual sword.
He was thinking about whether he could take apart the broken golden sword.
If it is taken apart, can we get the sword array inside?
If you get the sword formation, does that mean...
Can I also forge a real spiritual sword?
Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he was filled with anticipation.
