Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 121: The Middle Stage of Foundation Building
Recalling that day, the always upright Xu Hao promised him in a resounding voice that he would become a Taoist partner with Su Shu after this matter was over.
This rough man was rarely delicate and quietly bought the forbidden disk that Su Shu had been coveting for a long time.
He even took great care to record the words that he was embarrassed to say in person using a sound recording technique, waiting for the day when he would become Su Shu's Taoist partner, and then give it to Su Shu together with the ban-breaking disk.
But now, we are separated forever.
Looking at the distraught Su Shu, Lu Qingshan could only sigh in his heart.
When Xu Hao chose to sacrifice himself to stop Master Yu Shi, his body was burned into charcoal by the black flames released by the furious Master Yu Shi, and his specific appearance could no longer be recognized.
But on his charred skin, one could still see the uncovered bright red flesh, which was the wound caused by the explosion of the thunder bead.
Drops of blood continued to seep out from the wound and scattered on the ground. Then, just like Xu Hao's life, they were quickly swallowed up by the Shura Blood Transformation Formation and disappeared.
Xu Hao's sturdy body gradually shriveled up as his essence and blood were devoured.
…
Cough cough!
Lu Qingshan covered his mouth and coughed twice. When he opened his hands, his palms were scarlet.
There was a constant stream of intense burning pain in Lu Qingshan's meridians, which made him look quite ugly. He quickly took out a healing pill and swallowed it. After the pure medicinal power entered his body, he felt better.
This time, in order to kill this Jindan cultivator who appeared out of nowhere, the losses were heavy.
First of all, the Soul-Crying Sword, which Lu Qingshan used very easily, broke into pieces. In addition, due to the overload of his spiritual power, his meridians were also severely damaged, and he would need a long time to recover.
And Lu Qingshan's strongest attack method, the thunder bead, which he had kept for a long time and wanted to use as a killer, was also used up by him at one time.
The most tragic thing was that after this battle, half of the members of the Yinhu team died here.
But even at such a heavy price, Lu Qingshan still felt somewhat fortunate that he was able to kill the Jindan cultivator.
If everyone was not in a closed and narrow stone chamber, the power of the thunder bead could be fully utilized.
If the King of Western Rat had not just awakened today, his sneaky ability would have allowed him to place the thunder beads silently.
If it weren't for Master Yu Shi revealing some flaws due to his self-confidence, he would have seized the opportunity and bought the time needed to detonate the thunder bead.
If any of the above three points is missing, even if he is given a hundred more thunder beads today, it will not be Master Yu Shi who will die, but them.
This is the Jindan cultivator.
Still lacking in strength.
Lu Qingshan, who survived the calamity, sighed in his heart. Only with strong strength can there be a margin for error . Unlike now, if there is any variable, it will be a life-and-death situation.
Xiao Zhi was still moving rubble in the ruins, looking for something over and over again.
He was looking for the remains of the Li clan and Zhong Ming.
As for the array points, they had already been turned into powder under the bombardment of the thunder beads, causing the Western Rat King to feel great pain.
"Go and patrol the surroundings. If anything happens, notify me immediately." Lu Qingshan instructed the King of Western Rat.
Although he knew it was not wise to stay here at this time, Lu Qingshan did not stop Xiao Zhi's behavior.
If it was him who died there today, Xiao Zhi would definitely try his best to find his body just like he is doing now.
Therefore, he had no reason to stop it.
However, the three of them were obviously not in good shape at this moment. They all felt a tightness in their chests. Naturally, the task of being on guard could only be handed over to the King of Western Rat, who did not have any emotional fluctuations.
The world's joys and sorrows are not something that can be shared. The King of Western Rat is not familiar with this group of people except Lu Qingshan. The death of Xu Hao and the other two is indeed not a reason for it to be sad.
Not to mention the racial differences between them. In fact, as a monster, the King of Western Rat saw the tragic scenes of various monsters eating people in Zhenjiang City. Unlike the monks of the Yinhu team who felt heavy in their hearts, it did not feel anything at all.
The King of Western Rat nodded obediently, and when he was about to move away, a ferocious roar suddenly sounded.
hiss!
A black shadow with a huge green fireball rushed towards Su Shu, who had already lost her soul.
The murderous aura was overwhelming.
Green wolf!
The Green Wolf, which had been following them for a long time but was reluctant to get close, moved closer tentatively after hearing the loud noise caused by the explosion of the thunder ball, and saw this scene.
For some reason, the original six-member Yinhu team was reduced to only three people.
One of them was in a daze, standing there motionless, another was busy in the ruins, his mind was wandering, and the swordsman who had failed in his sneak attack had a disordered breathing and was obviously seriously injured.
Upon noticing the situation, the Green Wolf immediately attacked.
The wolf is vindictive and extremely patient, and finally it got the chance for revenge.
whoosh!
As if cutting through the breeze, a flying sword came out from the sky, as fast as lightning, and a fierce power came down like an overwhelming force.
Boo!
The flying sword cut straight through the exploding green fireball, causing it to scatter.
The flying sword that passed through the fireball remained powerful as it slashed at the body of the green wolf that leaped into the air. The huge impact force from the flying sword instantly chopped it away.
A huge gap appeared on the green wolf's neck, with bright red blood gushing out.
The Green Wolf, which had suffered a fatal attack, wanted to roar angrily, but it couldn't. The severe pain from deep in its throat blocked its voice.
The Green Wolf stared at Lu Qingshan, whose mouth was bleeding because he was using his spiritual power to control the flying sword. His ferocious eyes were full of confusion and unwillingness.
I was not wrong. The swordsman was indeed seriously injured, but why could he still launch such a ferocious attack?
The Green Wolf couldn't figure it out.
But it no longer had the chance to think. Blood continued to spurt out from the wound on its neck. The huge amount of blood loss made the Green Wolf's eyes go black. Its whole body twitched, and its four legs went limp, and it fell to the ground.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The sunlight flickered, and the peach wood sword kept circling in the air, leaving an afterimage with astonishing power.
"You beast, you want to learn sneak attacks from humans? That's just a joke." Looking at the huge body of the green wolf falling down, Lu Qingshan snorted coldly and retracted the peach wood sword.
…
"【Guixu Sutra】upgraded to level 4, spiritual power +100!"
…
"【Guixu Sutra】upgraded to level 7, spiritual power +100!"
"Your rank has been raised to the middle stage of foundation building, and your spiritual awareness +10!"
At the moment when the Green Wolf suddenly jumped up, Lu Qingshan invested all the huge experience gained from killing the Jindan cultivator into the Guixu Sutra, and instantly raised the level of his technique by four levels.
There are a total of twenty levels of foundation-building exercises, corresponding to the four small realms of the foundation-building period, the initial stage, the middle stage, the late stage and the perfect stage.
Except for the last two levels of perfect foundation building, each small realm is divided into six levels. The level 7 Guixu Sutra just allowed Lu Qingshan to raise his rank to the middle stage of foundation building.
The improvement in rank first brought about an improvement in spiritual awareness. His original spiritual awareness, which was only 10 points, immediately doubled.
In addition, as the level of cultivation gradually improves, the power of the Taoist techniques also becomes apparent.
The spiritual power increased by each level of the Guixu Sutra is almost twice that of ordinary exercises.
Although he had just broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, Lu Qingshan's spiritual power was now so profound that it was comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
In terms of spiritual awareness, Lu Qingshan is weaker than a cultivator in the late foundation building stage, but in terms of the purity of his spiritual power, due to the Guixu Sutra, Lu Qingshan is still better than a cultivator in the late foundation building stage.
In general, in terms of cultivation alone, he, who has just entered the middle stage of foundation building, is already no different from a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
In this case, the power of the flying sword he fired with his level 10 flying sword technique is self-evident.
It is no surprise that the Green Wolf, which had not made any defensive preparations, was killed with one sword.
