The Blade-Wielding Legend

Chapter 611: The Grace of That Sword


The strange spirit beast skin is indeed useful.

Buzz!

As the beast skin falls, it unexpectedly resonates with the Nine Tripod Divine Might, continually trembling, and the ancient Jiuzhou Map and Yu Gong Waterway Map engraved above are illuminated one by one, as if outlined by golden threads.

As if a force is lifting it, the falling speed of the beast skin is very slow, yet it never stops.

Finally, the beast skin covers the Nine Tripods.

Almost instantly, the Nine Tripod Divine Might disappears, and the golden light on its surface dissipates, even the surrounding Astral Bane Energy quickly vanishes.

In this world, treasures always counter each other.

Some seemingly mysterious items with strong power may be restrained by something seemingly insignificant.

It's not surprising.

This spirit beast has the "Kui Ox Bloodline."

In ancient times, it was used by the Yellow Emperor as a battle drum, resonating for five hundred miles, with the innate divine power to communicate heaven and earth, suppress the earth vein, echoing with the Nine Tripods, especially in the Tibetan Region, which has been long offered incense, it already possesses divinity.

After Yu the Great's flood control "cast the Nine Tripods, symbolizing Jiuzhou," the Nine Tripods also engraved the mountain and river landscapes of Jiuzhou.

Lu Sheng engraved the Jiuzhou Map and Yu Gong Water Vein Map upon it, as a certain Confusing God Technique, allowing the Nine Tripods to become tranquil.

Of course, these are all temporary measures.

The spirit beast skin won't last long either.

Before the Nine Tripods erupt again, it must be taken away, sealed with a Secret Technique, waiting for the other Nine Tripods to be assembled.

Meanwhile, the white vortex formed by Astra Bane Qi completely disappears, and the scene in the field is seen by everyone.

Looking at the god tripod that lost its light, the severed-arm Cheng Jianxin, and Li Yan, whose body still sparks with electric arcs, motionless, everyone already has guesses in their hearts.

"Stop him!"

The injured Mingshanzi had just arrived and immediately shouted when he saw the situation.

Everyone leapt forward one after another, and Sha Lifei also raised his firearm.

Looking at the crowd attacking, Lu Sheng smiled coldly, without a trace of hesitation, took out five-sided tokens from his bosom, and directly threw them to the ground.

"Hurry!"

With a command, a violent wind immediately arose around them.

Billowing black mist surged up, vaguely revealing five blurry figures, rotating around Lu Sheng and the grand tripod.

Five Ghosts Transporting Technique!

The crowd, upon seeing this, immediately grew anxious.

The Five Ghosts Transporting Technique has many variants within the Mystical Sect.

As in "All Methods Return to One," there is the "Five Ghosts Mix Heaven Technique," instructing five ghosts, using copper coins or ingots as mediums, to cast the "Five Ghosts Wealth Transporting Spell."

After completing, one must "scatter grains as tribute," otherwise face backlash.

In the civilian magic veins, there are various "Five Ghosts Wealth Transporting Skills," needing the Five Ghosts Flag for demonstration, but many know, "Five ghosts are not fierce souls but impoverished gods of five directions, transporting wealth will surely damage yin virtue."

This spell is found throughout the Divine State, even ordinary folk know it, with a saying particular to Jiangsu and Zhejiang:

"Five ghosts carry the gold mountain here, King Yan demands life at midnight."

But the true Five Ghosts Transporting Technique is essentially an Escape Technique.

As soon as the five ghosts arise, a hundred miles beyond them in an instant.

The five ghosts used by Lu Sheng are evidently not ordinary objects, their aura profoundly strong, even surpassing some small temple mortal gods.

Bang!

Sha Lifei first opened fire.

The other garrison soldiers in the square, although unclear of the reason, followed Zhao XianDa's signal and also opened fire.

Suddenly, gunfire echoed throughout the field.

Lv San, regardless of the damage to the demon gourd, even summoned a swarm of poison bees, a dark mass whistling downwards, charging at the black mist.

Others also used various spells, trying to stop Lu Sheng.

However, all attacks, as if sinking into the sea, vanished upon being engulfed by the rotating black mist.

Everyone felt chills in their hearts, knowing that these bullets, poison bee swarms, and crossbow arrows were likely transported away long ago.

This depicts the power of the Five Ghosts Transporting Escape Technique.

Yet they must prevent the other from succeeding.

With the Nine Tripods emerging, the earth vein's tremors grew stronger, the square they stood on rumbled, and cracks appeared between bricks and stones.

The distant palace walls also shed tiles, cracking open huge gaps.

Shu King Palace, constructed over long periods, began during the previous dynasty. Later regarded as too old a palace, the current emperor even rewarded silver taels to refurbish it, serving as the center of Chengdu Prefecture.

With damage here, it's conceivable other places surely have houses collapsing too.

In such a great catastrophe, naturally, measures must be taken to prevent it.

However, previously blocked outside, coupled with Lu Sheng's mysterious Five Ghosts Transporting Skill, it was already somewhat too late.

Clang!

At that moment, the sound of swords rang out again.

Still Cheng Jianxin.

This old man burned life force, shielding Li Yan from immortal Li Wenyuan's descent, his left arm shattered, nearing life's end, only striving to stand in place, refusing to fall.

His head full of white hair lost its luster, falling strand by strand.

His skin grew older, his face full of deathly aura.

As if hearing the crowd's shout, the longsword in Cheng Jianxin's hand trembled, emitting a sorrowful cry, his cloudy eyes opened again.

Raised hand, swung the sword.

Clang!

The sword emitted a dragon's roar, carrying dazzling chill.

At life's last moment, Cheng Jianxin seemed to step into certain realm, even as the lamp dimmed and oil dried, using the Sword Immortal Skill.

The sword produced dragon's roar, yet completely devoid of murderous aura.

Everyone saw a fleeting scene: within Chengdu's streets, pedestrians passed continually, shouts and trade mingled, filled with human-world vitality.

"Master..."

Chang Tianque instantly burst into tears.

He recalled his journeys with Cheng Jianxin, the latter having not a trace of a Sword Immortal's demeanor, instead laughing and scolding, most fond of mingling with commoners.

At this moment, he understood his master's Sword Dao.

The world only knew Cheng Jianxin's transcendent presence, the sword securing Shu, assuming merely innate talent bitter cultivation, yet unaware this supreme sword born for protection.
