Chapter 187 Jiang Dongliu: He Will Win because He Is the Challenger

Once upon a time, let alone an evil ghost comparable to the ghost elixir stage.

Even if he was just a monk in the false elixir stage, Lu Chen needed to go all out to have any chance of winning.

But now the ordinary Golden Core monks are no longer looked down upon by Lu Chen.

What's more, it's just an evil ghost in the ghost elixir stage.

The open space outside the pedestrian mall.

Because Lu Chen launched his own magic-destroying sword domain.

After being confused for a while, the ghost in the ghost core stage finally chose to rush directly towards Lu Chen.

Even though she lost her magical powers, she still relied on her powerful evil ghost body.

There will definitely be no problem in capturing a foundation-building monk!

But before the female ghost in the ghost core stage could get close to Lu Chen, she noticed that the environment around her had changed.

The original dilapidated and dim pedestrian street was gone, replaced by a special plain full of blood-red flowers.

Not far from the plain, there was a huge sea of ​​blood that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Seeing this scene, the female ghost in the ghost stage stopped instantly, with a look of fear on her face.

Because behind Lu Chen, an illusory white-bone Buddha was looking at her expressionlessly.

Just one glance made the female ghost in the ghost core stage feel terrible pressure.

This kind of trembling from the depths of her soul made her dare not take action at all.

Lu Chen stood in front of the skeletal Buddha and raised his hand.

The next second, the surrounding blood-red Bigan flowers began to decompose continuously, and finally gathered into a blood-red sword in the sky.

There is a strange vertical eye on the hilt of this long sword.

The female ghost in the Ghost Dan stage stared vertically down, as if looking at some delicious food.

But after feeling the greedy look in the blood eyes, the ghost-dan stage female ghost who was already in fear because of the Bone Buddha completely lost any desire to fight.

Run, run as far as possible!

Without the slightest hesitation, the female ghost in the ghost core stage chose to respect her instincts at this moment and stay as far away from Lu Chen and his weird blood sword as possible.

However, she soon discovered that although she had been running, the position between her and the huge blood sword was not far away, but was getting closer and closer.

Could it be that he didn't run fast enough and was caught up by the blood sword?

But when the female ghost saw Lu Chen and her position, she was horrified to find that it wasn't that she didn't run fast enough, but that she seemed to have never left the same place from the beginning to the end.

The flowers around her, the sea of ​​blood in the distance, the bloody sword above her head, and Lu Chen behind her.

Nothing seems to have changed.

The only thing that changed was the huge bloody sword that was getting closer and closer to her.

In the female ghost's frightened eyes, the bloody sword hanging above her head finally fell down.

boom!

As the bloody giant sword fell, the female ghost's figure completely disappeared on the bloody shore.

And all this can only be seen by the female ghost and Lu Chen.

Because whether it is the bloody shore or the endless sea of ​​​​blood, they are only scenery that can be seen in the artistic conception, which is similar to the existence of illusion.

But what is false is also true, and what is true is also false. Lu Chen's attack in the artistic conception is not false.

From the perspective of other people in reality, the female ghost at the Ghost Dan stage rushed toward Lu Chen for a moment, then strangely stopped in place, motionless.

Then a blood-red spiritual sword exuding a fierce aura appeared out of thin air on Lu Chen's right hand.

A light sword pierced her forehead.

During this process, neither the female ghost's magical powers nor her own protective elixir had any effect.

It was as if she couldn't see Lu Chen at all and was passively suffering death.

Snapped……

Lu Chen's gluttonous ferocious weapon stopped at the center of the female ghost's eyebrows, and then countless cracks spread from the center of the female ghost's eyebrows, and soon spread to the female ghost's body.

In the end, the female ghost in the ghost core stage who was extremely powerful in the eyes of Shen Feiyang and others turned into countless ghost energy fragments, which were swallowed into Lu Chen's blood sword and disappeared.

"Jianliang, classmate Lu, has he become stronger again?"

Zheng Liu watched all this and said to Xu Jianliang beside him in stunned silence.

At this time, Xu Jianliang, who was also shocked, did not respond.

Because Lu Chen's current strength has exceeded his cognitive scope.

This is an evil ghost in the ghost elixir stage that is comparable to a monk in the golden elixir stage.

Lu Chen not only won, but he also won extremely easily.

Doesn't this mean that Lu Chen's current strength is comparable to that of a golden elixir, or even exceeds that of an ordinary golden elixir?

You must know that even if a true Golden Core Stage cultivator comes over, he may not be able to win so easily.

Just when a few people were still immersed in the strong shock of having their world view refreshed.

A spiritual message fell into the ears of several people.

"You guys stay here and don't move around. With my Jue Tian Sword here, any ghosts and monsters that come near here will lose their ability to cast spells and magical powers and will not be able to pose a threat to you."

After finishing speaking, Lu Chen walked directly towards the depths of the pedestrian street.

Because somewhere on the pedestrian street, he felt strong resentment.

I guess that's where the ghost in front of me came from.

Deep in the pedestrian street.

I saw a huge space crack appearing in a square.

And whether it was the female ghost in the ghost core stage or other ghosts just now, they actually ran out of this space crack.

Seeing this crack, Lu Chen thought for a moment and then released Diting.

"What's wrong, Brother Lu?"

As soon as Di heard it, he looked around curiously.

Not long after, it noticed the space crack in the square.

"Brother Lu, it's the entrance to Fengdu again."

"After this, you must let Shanhaisi give me more credit. I'm almost exhausted."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have reported everything you did to Shanhaisi, and they will not treat you unfairly."

Di Ting nodded, and then began to seal the Fengdu space crack in front of him.

A large amount of innate nine qi was released from Di Ting's body, and it kept interweaving around the space crack in front of him.

At this moment, Di Ting was like a doctor, carefully suturing the "wound" on the pedestrian street in front of him.

Fengdu, a special place dedicated to accommodating the dead.

Its positioning is similar to the underworld in Lu Chen's previous life.

But the Fengdu of the Immortal Alliance is different from the underworld in Lu Chen's previous life.

That is, there is no Yama King in Fengdu.

Only ghost kings of all sizes live in it.

Therefore, Fengdu is also classified as an alien race by the Immortal Alliance.

But normally, every city in the Immortal Alliance has a 'Boundary Pressure Stone'.

Its function is to stabilize the space of the city.

Therefore, most of the 'space cracks' will not appear directly in the cities of the Immortal Alliance, but will only appear outside the city.

It's not that the Immortal Alliance does not want to expand the scope of the 'Boundary Pressure Stone' to the entire Immortal Alliance's sphere of influence.

It's really that the Boundary Pressure Stone is too rare.

And there are not many array masters who are capable of engraving arrays on the Boundary Pressure Stone.

Therefore, the Immortal Alliance is already a bit exhausted just to maintain the existing Boundary Pressure Stone, let alone to take out more Boundary Pressure Stones.

As for the space cracks in Fengdu, Lu Chen is actually not unfamiliar.

Because in the past two months, he has encountered many similar situations.

And this is not an isolated case in Qingzhou. At present, the Immortal Alliance has Fengdu appearing everywhere.

It's as if someone opened a key, so that Fengdu, which should have nothing to do with the present world, suddenly intersected with the present world.

And these Fengdu space cracks are strong and weak.

The weak ones are only the size of a crack in the door, and the ghosts that come out are generally below the foundation-building stage, which is easy to deal with.

But the strong ones are like the one Lu Chen encountered now, which is 20 meters long and 10 meters wide.

There are often evil ghosts in the Jindan stage running out of it.

Lu Chen had just gone to a city near Luocheng to deal with the Fengdu crack not long ago.

Unexpectedly, he had just returned and immediately received a message from the Shanhai Division.

Asked him to come to the pedestrian street to deal with the new Fengdu crack.

It has been half a month since the start of school, but Lu Chen has not appeared in No. 1 Middle School yet.

He is so busy that he can't touch his back foot.

But he is not the only one who is busy now.

The entire Shanhai Division was overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of the Fengdu crack, and there was a serious shortage of manpower.

"It's done, Brother Lu."

After completely sealing the Fengdu crack, Di Ting wiped the sweat from his forehead, obviously exhausted.

After all, it is a Fengdu crack that can accommodate Jindan evil ghosts.

This is naturally much more troublesome to deal with.

"Brother Lu, call me later if you have anything. I'm going to go back and sleep for a while. I'm almost exhausted."

After saying that, Di Ting turned into a ray of light and entered Lu Chen's mountain and sea painting.

Although the Fengdu crack here has been solved, Lu Chen is not in a hurry to leave.

He came to the original location of the crack and stretched out his hand.

Not long after, a special stone flew up from the ground and came into Lu Chen's hand.

Rather than saying it was a stone, Lu Chen felt that it was more like a turning head from a certain building.

It's just that this brick seems to have been corroded so badly by the years that it is a little difficult to recognize.

In addition, Lu Chen also saw a lot of traces of formations on this stone.

Although he couldn't recognize what this formation was for the time being, Lu Chen felt that it might be the reason why the Fengdu crack could ignore the Luocheng boundary stone and appear here.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with this special stone, Lu Chen directly put it into the storage bag.

And he was going to hand it in when he went to the Shanhai Division.

After all, collecting this special 'Fengdu Stone' was also a task specifically assigned by the Shanhai Division.

There are special array masters in the Shanhai Division who are studying them.

Find a way to prevent Fengdu from appearing in the world at will.

When Lu Chen finished all this, the fog that originally shrouded the pedestrian street completely disappeared.

However, it took half a day from the appearance of the fog to its resolution.

Although this was due to the accidental stepping of Shen Feiyang and others, many people survived under their protection.

But more people could not hold on to their actions and died in the hands of ghosts running out of the crack in advance.

After all, the crack appeared in the middle of the night. At this time, except for some special workers and night owls surfing the Internet in Internet cafes.

Therefore, in this incident, most people died in their sleep.

Recalling the movements of the Immortal Alliance during this period, Lu Chen felt that the peace in the Immortal Alliance might be broken soon.

At the same time, in another city in Qingzhou.

"Be steady when you draw your sword, and keep eight out of two, otherwise you won't be able to cope with the variables that may arise next."

"Remember, you only have one life, so it's never too cautious."

"After all, a dead genius...is not a genius."

Bian Shouyi killed the ghost in front of him with a sword, and looked at Jiang Dongliu who was still eating puffs leisurely not far away.

Because he was selected by Qinghe Taoist Academy in advance, Bian Shouyi no longer needed to go to Luocheng No. 1 Middle School for classes.

In addition, he was very optimistic about Bian Shouyi's innate sword body.

So the Canjian Taoist of Qinghe Taoist Academy asked Jiang Dongliu to take on the task of training Bian Shouyi.

The method used was also simple, that is, to let Jiang Dongliu take Bian Shouyi to complete the tasks of the Mountain and Sea Division together.

After all, actual combat is the most suitable way for sword cultivators to practice.

And Canjian Taoist was not worried that Bian Shouyi would be in danger if he followed Jiang Dongliu.

Because although Bian Shouyi was only five years older than Jiang Dongliu, Jiang Dongliu was already a real Jindan-stage sword cultivator.

And he was also a Tiandao Jindan.

As long as he didn't encounter a Jindan-stage cultivator with a high cultivation level above the earth, or an old monster above the Yuanying stage.

With Jiang Dongliu's current strength, he could basically walk sideways in the entire Immortal Alliance.

Therefore, Canjian Daoist was relieved to let Bian Shouyi follow Jiang Dongliu.

Just when Bian Shouyi was concentrating on fighting the evil ghost in front of him, a pair of big hands suddenly stretched out from the Fengdu crack not far from him and grabbed Bian Shouyi.

Facing this terrifying big hand, Bian Shouyi swung his sword consciously.

The majestic sword energy cut through the sky with great momentum.

This is Bian Shouyi's unyielding sword intention.

As long as he is fearless, his sword can move forward unstoppably and be sharp and unparalleled.

However, although the power of his sword is far beyond the general foundation-building period.

But the owner of that big hand is not a foundation-building evil ghost, but a real ghost pill period.

Therefore, Bian Shouyi's sword energy was immediately shattered the moment it collided with the big hand.

And the big hand did not stop at all and fell directly towards Bian Shouyi.

Looking at this huge palm, Bian Shouyi's pupils shrank.

He could not block or dodge this palm.

But just when the palm came to a distance of three meters in front of Bian Shouyi, Jiang Dongliu's figure suddenly stood in front of him.

"Watch out, this is the real swordsmanship."

Jiang Dongliu used his hand instead of a sword and pointed at the big hand in front of him.

Bang!

The moment the palm of the evil ghost in the ghost pill stage collided with Jiang Dongliu's sword finger, the palm of the evil ghost, which was extremely powerful in Bian Shouyi's eyes, not only stopped instantly.

And a large amount of sword energy burst out from the evil ghost's arm.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a deafening scream, the arm of the evil ghost in the ghost pill stage immediately turned into pieces of meat all over the sky, and scattered around the Fengdu crack.

Although one arm of the evil ghost in the ghost pill stage had been broken, Jiang Dongliu was not ready to let him go.

"You step back first, and what happens next is not something you can interfere with."

Bian Shou nodded, and then stayed directly in the open space next to him, watching Jiang Dongliu's next battle with a serious face.

The evil ghost in the crack of Fengdu seemed to be angered by Jiang Dongliu, and crawled out of the crack directly.

Ten meters tall, with a strong body full of special patterns like fine iron.

Even if it was just standing, it still brought a strong sense of oppression to Bian Shouyi in the distance.

However, Jiang Dongliu didn't care too much about it, and the expression on his face was still very relaxed.

He even had time to joke: "Starving ghost in the ghost pill stage, it seems that you have been in Fengdu for a long time. The ghost and hostility on your body are so heavy that I can smell it from a long distance."

"But the dead should stay where you should be. Who allowed you to run to the world of the living?"

Hearing Jiang Dongliu's words, the ghost pill stage starving ghost, who was already overwhelmed by anger at this time, didn't waste time talking to him, and directly used its only right arm to attack Jiang Dongliu.

And this time the starving ghost learned the lesson from the last time, and his left arm was not only covered with a large amount of armor transformed by ghost energy.

He even activated his own innate magical power, Ghost Devouring.

He did it just to kill Jiang Dongliu, the guy who hurt him, with one punch.

"You who only remember to eat but not to fight, do you really think that the world of the living is your playground and you can play around as you please?"

Jiang Dongliu raised his hand, and countless peach blossom-shaped sword qi appeared out of thin air.

Then these peach blossom sword qi gathered together and covered the arm of the starving ghost in a rotation.

Bang bang bang...

Accompanied by bursts of metal cutting sounds, the arm of the starving ghost covered with ghost qi armor was cut into countless pieces in an instant.

Then these peach blossom sword qi continued to be powerful and rushed directly to the starving ghost's body.

Facing these peach blossom sword qi, the starving ghost tried hard to bounce them away.

But these peach blossom sword qi were like real peach blossom petals, soft and boneless.

Even though the starving ghost had already used magic and magical powers to blow away these peach blossom sword qi in one breath.

But after a short drift, those peach blossom sword qi fell on him again.

In front of these sharp peach blossom sword qi, the body-protecting Danqi of the starving ghost only lasted for a moment.

Without the protection of the body-protecting Danqi, the body that the starving ghost was proud of was like tofu, and was directly cut into countless pieces.

After doing all this, Jiang Dongliu turned his head and said to Bian Shouyi beside him: "Wait here for a while, I will go down and clean up the little ghosts inside."

After that, Jiang Dongliu rushed directly into the Fengdu crack.

After a scream and the sound of sword qi, Jiang Dongliu returned to the outside of the crack.

"Let's go, leave the rest to others."

"Oh, okay."

Shortly after the two left, some non-staff personnel from the Shanhai Division quickly came to the Fengdu Crack.

They fiddled with various magic weapons with ease and began to seal the cracks in Fengdu here.

At the same time, Bian Shouyi, who had left the ghost town of Fengdu, followed Jiang Dongliu and couldn't help but said, "Senior Jiang, where should we go next?"

Hearing this, Jiang Dongliu immediately smiled and said: "Where else can we go, of course to relax!"

"Don't ask, just watch it later. Anyway, you became an adult not long ago and can drink."

Hearing this, Bian Shouyi, who has a relatively rigid personality, couldn't help but said: "Are you drinking? Aren't we continuing to practice?"

Jiang Dongliu was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Bian Shouyi with a serious expression, covered his forehead and said speechlessly: "Junior, senior, you and I have finally completed the task, can't we enjoy it?"

"Cultivation? What kind of training? It won't matter if you skip one day of cultivation. You must know how to balance work with rest!"

"Don't worry, I will pay for all tonight's purchases, so just come and I guarantee that I will open the door to a new world for you!"

Jiang Dongliu thought that after he said this, Bian Shou would follow him to the bar to relax.

Unexpectedly, Bian Shouyi is like a piece of wood, neither soft nor hard can be eaten.

"No, senior, I gained a lot today. I want to consolidate it. You can go play, I won't go."

"Forehead……"

Looking at the stubborn Bian Shouyi, Jiang Dongliu didn't know what to say for a while.

Although he really wanted to go to the bar to have a drink with the young lady, it would be hard for him to go if Bian Shouyi didn't go.

After all, the task his master gave him was to take care of this junior student.

Thinking of this, Jiang Dongliu couldn't help but said: "Junior, although hard work is a good thing, it is easy to get into trouble if you work too hard."

"If your life has nothing but cultivation and fighting, then what's the difference between living here and going to jail?"

"Listen to me, occasional relaxation is not depravity. It is easy to break when you are too strong."

What Jiang Dongliu didn't expect was that even though he had already said this, Bian Shouyi would still remain unmoved.

Bian Shouyi looked at him and said with a serious expression: "Senior, Mr. Lu is already far ahead of me now. If I don't work hard, I may not even be able to see his back in the future."

"I want to see if I can catch up with him, or even... surpass him."

When Bian Shou mentioned Lu Chen, Jiang Dongliu's originally frivolous expression slowly faded away.

He looked at Bian Shouyi, changed his previous nonchalant attitude, and said in a rare serious tone: "Catch up with Junior Brother Lu, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Junior Bian, although you are a genius, in this world besides geniuses, there are monsters that are above geniuses. The gap between monsters and geniuses may be wider than that between geniuses and dogs."

"Don't say that your current cultivation level is much weaker than that of Classmate Lu. Even if you have the same cultivation level, or even if your cultivation level exceeds his, even if ten of you are tied up, they will not be able to compete with Senior Classmate Lu."

"You haven't joined the Shan Hai Division yet, so you have no idea what terrible things Junior Brother Lu has done."

"Let me tell you this, with Mr. Lu's current strength, it would be very difficult even for me to face him, let alone you."

When Bian Shou heard this, he said calmly: "I know, but I still want to give it a try."

Feeling Bian Shouyi's firm Daoist heart at this moment, Jiang Dongliu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

With his Taoist heart, talent, and standing, no wonder Master is so fond of this kid, he is indeed different.

Thinking of this, Jiang Dongliu also relaxed.

"Okay, okay, then let's go back to practice. I'll give you some tricks tonight and help you perfect your sword intent."

Hearing this, Bian Shou's eyes suddenly lit up.

For a swordsman like him, nothing excites him more than fighting against masters.

When the two went to the nearest Shanhaisi branch, Bian Shouyi asked a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Senior Jiang, you just said that even now you would find it difficult to fight against Mr. Shang Lu. If you were to fight him now, would you lose?"

Jiang Dongliu said without hesitation: "I will win, because I am Jiang Dongliu, the chief Jiangdong Liu of Qinghe Daoyuan Sword Academy."

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but for now... Junior Brother Lu is the challenger."

Looking at Jiang Dongliu with a confident face, Bian Shouyi still chose to believe his words.

After all, Bian Shouyi had not seen Lu Chen take action for a long time, and he had only vaguely heard about him from Jiang Dongliu during this period.

Because Jiang Dongliu couldn't help but take Lu Chen as an example and criticize him for what he didn't do well.

But even though Jiang Dongliu said that Lu Chen had become very powerful.

But Bian Shouyi didn't have an intuitive concept of this power.

But Jiang Dongliu's strength was clearly seen by Bian Shouyi.

Because in the short month he followed Jiang Dongliu, he had seen Jiang Dongliu easily kill various demons and monsters comparable to the Golden Core stage more than once.

Bian Shouyi even knew that Jiang Dongliu had not taken any serious action in this month.

Although Bian Shouyi knew that Lu Chen was very strong now, he lacked a reference for Lu Chen's strength.

But Jiangdongliu's strength is visible to the naked eye.

However, the fact that Lu Chen could be treated like this by Jiang Dongliu shows that although he is only in the foundation building stage, he already has the strength comparable to the golden elixir stage, or even exceeds the general golden elixir stage.

Thinking of this, Bian Shouyi decided to practice harder in the future.

Everything is just as he said just now, some things cannot be done just because they are difficult.

His unretreating sword intention is essentially to move forward.

Even though he knew that Lu Chen was like a mountain, he would most likely be crushed to pieces if he crashed into him.

But Bian Shouyi didn't care about these, because in his dictionary, there is no saying of "settling for the second best".

Thinking of this, Bian Shouyi said: "Senior Jiang, can you treat Lu Chen as you would to fight me today? I want to see the gap between me and him."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then I will let you feel what true despair is today, and I hope your Tao heart will not be broken because of this..."

"I wish for it."
