Chapter 244: Sword Ghost Blocks the Road
Legend has it that Guan Gong read the Spring and Autumn Annals at night and learned the thirty-six moves of the Spring and Autumn sword techniques. However, most people in the world are mediocre and often cannot survive more than a round under his sword, so they never get to see these thirty-six peerless sword techniques.
This is the case with the Bull-Headed General of the Underworld.
With just one blow, his soul was shattered and he had no power to resist at all. Even the mountain-moving magic he learned from the Ghost King Xudu was of no use.
Guan Yu rode his horse with his sword in hand, and the green dragon danced wildly under his sword, just like a tiger among a flock of sheep, even gods and ghosts were afraid of him. Every time the amazing sword light flashed, countless evil soldiers were chopped into ashes, and the killing was so fierce that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the wind was blowing and the clouds were moving!
The red rabbit horse gallops in the red fog, and the blue dragon sword rises in the white clouds!
The soldiers of Huangquan had never seen such a peerless general before. Even their own general was beheaded by the opponent with one sword. For a time, the morale of the army was low and the formation was in chaos.
Zhang Qianyang and others looked at the arrogant figure in disbelief. With such terrifying swordsmanship and astonishing momentum, was he really just a ghost general in the Yin Shen realm?
There was a hint of heat in Xu Qingxuan's eyes.
His previous feeling turned out to be correct. The ghost general summoned by this kid Li was still in the Yin Shen realm, but his swordsmanship had already touched the realm of "Tao". It was truly extraordinary!
If the current occasion was not wrong, he would really like to spar with the other party. Of course, he would first lower his own cultivation to the Yin Shen realm.
Everyone followed Guan Yu closely, using Guan Yu as a blade and piercing into the enemy's camp like a sharp arrow, cutting through it and quickly breaking out.
Among them, apart from the majestic Guan Yu, Li Daoxuan's performance was the most outstanding.
The three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand was like a dancing silver dragon, rustling like the sound of wind and rain, circling like a dragon and snake, displaying extraordinary martial arts that even Guan Yu looked sideways.
After killing countless ghost soldiers, there were no more enemies in sight.
The thousands of ghost soldiers summoned by Li Daoxuan suffered heavy casualties, but Zhang Qianyang and others were unharmed, mainly because Guan Yu bore most of the pressure.
Calculating the time, it’s not even a quarter of an hour!
The remaining ghost soldiers wanted to pursue, but Guan Yu drew his sword and mounted his horse, slashing out a blade of light that spanned the sky and earth, tearing the earth apart and leaving a deep scar.
"Anyone who crosses this line will die!"
Guan Yu's voice echoed in the night sky, causing the pursuing ghost soldiers to stop in their tracks.
Seeing their fearful looks, Guan Yu stroked his long beard lightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
If he didn't have very little time left, he really wanted to ride Red Hare back and kill these defeated soldiers completely. That would be satisfying!
It’s a pity that the summoning of the Wuchang Army Talisman is time-limited . The stronger the ghosts and gods are, the shorter the time they can stay, unless Li Daoxuan’s cultivation level is improved.
Guan Yu felt that he was about to go back, and finally glanced at Li Daoxuan and said lightly: "Boy, you are not bad."
Li Daoxuan was stunned and actually felt a little bit of joy that he could hardly suppress.
He has always respected Guan Yu, and it is naturally a happy thing to be recognized by the other party after fighting side by side.
"If you go to Jingzhou or Jiezhou in the future, Guan will treat you to a drink."
After saying this, Guan Yu's figure slowly disappeared.
From beginning to end, he never mentioned anything about asking Li Daoxuan to help him increase the incense offerings, nor did he bother to mention it.
Guan Yu would be very contemptuous towards people he looked down upon, but would be very trusting towards people he approved of, showing extraordinary courage and breadth of mind.
Of course, he also believed that after seeing his Spring and Autumn swordsmanship, the other party would not dare to break the appointment.
Li Daoxuan took a deep breath and suppressed his inner excitement. Facts had proved that he had made the right bet. Although Guan Yu did not yet have the might of the Three Realms Demon Subduing Emperor or Guan Yu the Great Emperor, he had already demonstrated extraordinary potential.
He remembered that it was not until the Song Dynasty that Guan Yu began to be worshipped as Guan Gong with national will, and his belief was recognized by the court. However, because the Song Dynasty valued culture over military power, Guan Yu was ranked very low.
It was not until the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty that Guan Yu soared to fame and became completely popular, and from then on he was unstoppable.
If in this life, he could help Guan Yu gain recognition from the imperial court and vigorously promote his beliefs, would it allow him to become Guan Yu the Great Emperor ahead of time?
By then, with a wave of his Five-horse Army Talisman, he would be able to summon the Three Realms Demon-Subduing Emperors to fight alongside him. Then, which demon would dare to be so presumptuous?
Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but feel excited, but he knew that now was not the time to think about these things. The most urgent task was to rush to Yinshan as soon as possible!
Everyone continued to fly towards Yinshan Mountain.
On the way, Zhang Qianyang couldn't help but ask, "Disciple, who is that ghost general you summoned?"
Li Daoxuan replied: "Master, have you read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
It is no wonder that they did not recognize Guan Yu, because Guan Yu at that time was not as famous as he was in later generations, and "Records of the Three Kingdoms" was not a work known to everyone like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
The Three Kingdoms, which is well-known to everyone in later generations, was still a very unpopular period in the minds of people in the early Tang Dynasty, just as people in later generations rarely knew about the history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Sure enough, Zhang Qianyang shook his head, indicating that he had not read it.
Wu Wei's eyes lit up, and he said, "I've read it. Could it be that the person just now was... Guan Yu, the Marquis of Han Shou Ting?"
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Yes, it is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang!"
Wu Wei said excitedly: "No wonder I felt that the knife in his hand was familiar, as if I had read about it somewhere before. It turns out that it is the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade!"
He liked reading miscellaneous books and wanted to find inspiration for refining weapons from them, so he flipped through "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and was deeply impressed by Guan Yu. He did not expect to see this hero in person today.
Li Daoxuan briefly introduced Guan Yu's deeds, which attracted everyone's attention.
Xu Qingxuan exclaimed: "Little Li, you have found a treasure. Guan Yu's swordsmanship has already entered the realm of Taoism. He has extraordinary potential. His future achievements are probably limitless!"
Taoist Xuancheng also sighed: "Yes, such amazing swordsmanship is something I have never seen before in my life!"
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly. No one knew Guan Yu's growth potential better than him.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, everyone's expression changed.
I saw a high mountain in front of me, and on the mountain stood a man wearing a conical hat and a long sword at his waist. He was dressed in tattered cloth, had a weathered face and a cold temperament. The most eye-catching thing was his empty left eye.
"My name is Jian Gui, the ghost under the sword."
He placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, looked at everyone with his only remaining right eye, and said calmly: "My Lord is waking up. During this period, this road is blocked."
Li Daoxuan sneered: "The last bull head who tried to block the road has been beheaded."
Unexpectedly, the Sword Ghost was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "Well done, Niu Tou is indeed a waste. With hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers, he could only hold him off for such a short period of time . He deserves to die."
Li Daoxuan raised his eyebrows, feeling a little anxious.
It wasn't that he was afraid of the other party, he just didn't want to delay any longer. Who knew how many ghost generals would be left after he killed this sword ghost?
The other party was obviously trying to waste his time bit by bit so as to delay until Xu Du woke up!
In that case...
A fierce light flashed in Li Daoxuan's eyes. He clenched the three-pointed, double-edged sword, ready to burst out with his strength and kill him quickly.
But Liu Bihen stood up, her Lilong sword trembling slightly in the sheath, and the sword intent in her eyes was particularly strong.
"Brother, Sword Ghost, I have heard of this man. He killed his father, mother, wife, and children, and cut off all emotions, just to practice swordsmanship. Later, he received guidance from Xudu and cultivated the swordsmanship of the 72 magical powers."
After a pause, Liu Bihen stared at the sword ghost and said firmly: "Brother, I will kill him, you and Master go to Yinshan first!"
