Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 496 See you again, Taoist Qingya!

As the half sword blade got closer, cracks began to appear faintly in the picture of the past.

And as this period passed, something strange began to happen.

Qi Xiu's body suddenly became vague and fuzzy, seeming real and illusory, with a hint of nothingness that seemed like it would disappear at any time.

hum-

The moment when the weakest past is about to be erased.

A touch of elegant blue-white spiritual light suddenly rose from the ancestral orifice between Qi Xiu's eyebrows, and wisps of clear air continued to fall down like a waterfall, firmly blocking the sword that Xuan Jun was stabbing at.

"Ok?"

His eyes moved slightly, and Xuanjun glanced at the sudden appearance of the subtle breath. A purple light flashed, and an object was suddenly reflected in his pupils.

That was a talisman that was hidden very deeply!

This talisman is about one foot in length, and appears to be made of lapis lazuli, with a heavy aura flowing through it.

On the front is written an ancient and obscure seal script that exudes a sense of antiquity.

“Someone is protecting him…

Oh, but can you protect it?"

With a light laugh, a boundless and vast ocean suddenly emerged behind Xuanjun. The billions of waves that rose up were deafening, and the terrifying pressure that poured down almost crushed the heaven and earth into ashes!

Attracting the power of Guixu Sea, Xuanjun sank his wrist, and the half sword blade in his hand immediately pierced through the subtle breath hanging down in front of him.

But just as the sword continued to stab downwards.

A large, heavy hand suddenly reached out and gripped the sword tightly, preventing it from moving forward even an inch.

"You are the dignified Lord of Guixu Sea, an ancient god, yet you come to embarrass my little brother who is almost a hundred years old.

Your Excellency is a little too shameless."

A fat Taoist priest in a plain robe, with a smile on his face and a gentle expression, strode forward and blocked Xuanjun's way.

The body, which is not very tall, now looks like a majestic and boundless sky gate.

No matter how powerful you are.

Can't even take half a step forward.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the fat Taoist who suddenly appeared, Xuanjun slowly straightened his hunched body, the surging purple energy in his eyes became more and more surging, he wanted to see the Taoist's background clearly.

"I see. I was wondering how a mere thought incarnation could possibly control my little brother.

The art of looking at qi...what a coincidence."

Sensing the divine light of the art of qi-gazing in Xuanjun's eyes, Taoist Qingya's mouth slowly curled up, revealing a meaningful smile.

He turned sideways and glanced at Qi Xiu, who was surrounded by endless light and shadows.

"Contemplating the three thousand instants?

Good trick. Since you can’t beat my little brother, you want to wipe him out when he is young and weak.

OK OK.

It’s really good.”

Taoist Qingya nodded repeatedly in response to the methods used by Xuanjun. Not only was there no anger or displeasure in his eyes, but there was a hint of joy instead.

“It just so happens that although this child is gifted and has the appearance of a primordial spirit, his foundation is too weak.

If you meet a real great sage, it is still a little bit lacking.

Today, I will borrow your method to help my little brother make up for his loss."

As he spoke, Taoist Qingya let go of the sword that Xuanjun was stabbing at him, stepped aside, and raised his hand to shake it gently.

He made a "please do as you please" gesture towards Xuanjun.

Looking at the indifferent Qingya Taoist inexplicably, Xuanjun thought for a thousand times, but still couldn't figure out why this Taoist was behaving so strangely.

So make a fool of yourself.

There was a hint of coldness in the corner of his eyes. As the incarnation of a thought of the deity, Xuanjun only cared about the task assigned by the deity. As for everything else, including himself, he didn't care at all.

Without Taoist Qingya's obstruction, the half sword in Xuanjun's hand suddenly loosened forward.

laugh--

With a crisp sound, the picture of time in the original past was completely penetrated, and rays of light scattered from the cracks.

After successfully piercing through the picture, Xuanjun's expression changed, and he was about to turn the sword to completely destroy the past.

But at this moment, the pair of large and heavy hands pressed down again.

"Again?"

How could Xuan Jun be blocked twice in a row for the same thing? The surging Guixu Sea behind him suddenly erupted, and huge waves were released like pulses, destroying all invisible existences, intending to kill Taoist Qingya.

"If you come in your true form, I can still play with you, but you are just an incarnation of thought.

You dare to attack me! ? "

The rumbling sound from heaven was like the collapse of the sky, causing Xuanjun to bleed from all seven orifices. His body shook and trembled, and the Guixu Sea behind him was directly evaporated and wiped out.

In the darkness, everything disappeared before Xuanjun's eyes.

There was only a pair of cold and indifferent purple eyes left, looking down at all living things from above, staring down at him coldly.

click-

In a blink of an eye.

The purple in Xuanjun's eyes instantly disappeared like smoke, and countless hideous cracks appeared on his pupils.

"Hmm... you've ruined my Qi-reading technique..."

With a muffled groan, Xuan Jun's eyes turned gray and he looked at Taoist Qingya in disbelief:

"You are the True Spirit!"

"The art of looking at qi is a forbidden art. You are not qualified enough. I am helping you to abolish it for your own good."

As he spoke in an amiable manner, Taoist Qingya forcibly snatched the half of the sword from Xuanjun's hand.

Looking carefully at the sword in his hand, which was rusty but radiant with light, Taoist Qingya nodded slowly:

“It is indeed that person’s item. Although it is just an ordinary sword, it has acquired a trace of that person’s sword spirit through years of contact.

No wonder it was able to destroy the past."

Nodding slightly, Taoist Qingya waved his hand casually, and a series of talismans with a green and gold color surged out, instantly transforming into a corner of an ancient and majestic talisman formation above Xuanjun's head.

The formation rotated, and countless blue-gold chains whizzed out and pierced into Xuanjun's limbs and bones, locking him tightly.

Finally, it turned into a huge word "Zhen".

After suppressing Xuanjun's incarnation of thought, Taoist Qingya turned sideways to look at Qi Xiu who was in a daze, and was about to open his mouth to wake him up.

But just as he opened his mouth, he stopped.

"It's been a while since we last met, so let me check your homework."

With a chuckle, Taoist Qingya stretched out his hand, and his five fingers extended into the depths of the void, as if he had caught something.

The next moment!

He opened his mouth and exhaled a stream of cold air like white frost, and the thing he was tightly holding in his hand suddenly revealed its true appearance.

It was a bizarre tributary, flowing with billions of mysterious colors.

"Freezing the time branch and disrupting the cause and effect so recklessly, aren't you afraid that the catastrophe will come early?"

Silently watching Taoist Qingya raise his hand to freeze the flow of time in this world, Xuanjun's expression moved slightly.

The penalty for interfering with time is very severe.

This is true even for the true spirit.

Although they have lived as long as the heaven and earth and are immortal, the punishment of fate and cause and effect accelerates and intensifies the arrival of disaster.

For Yuanshen Zhenzun, this is tantamount to a death warrant.

After glancing at Xuan Jun who had given him a "kind" reminder, Taoist Qingya waved his hand nonchalantly, then turned to look at Qi Xiu who had not yet woken up, and whispered three words:

"He deserves it."

"Worth it? To be able to make a Yuanshen Zhenzun pay such a huge price to protect him.

Can you tell me why?"

"I told you, you are not qualified. Just watch carefully. This is an unprecedented spectacle."

Without answering Xuanjun, Taoist Qingya just quietly watched Qi Xiu, whose eyes were becoming more and more blazing.

In the core divine cabin where the time branch is frozen.

<divclass="contentadv">I don’t know how much time passed.

Qi Xiu, whose eyes were blank, suddenly trembled.

The next moment!

Suddenly, golden light burst out from his back and right hand. Terrifying pressure swept in all directions, shaking the void. The Dragon Binding Rope and the Talisman were about to revive at the same time!

"Boy! Don't be impulsive!"

Just as Qi Xiu was about to activate the power of the Dragon Binding Rope and the Talisman to fight back, a voice that he had been deliberately searching for for decades and had failed to find suddenly rang out.

With a serious expression, Qi Xiu looked in the direction of the voice.

The fat Taoist priest, who had not changed at all after nearly a hundred years of absence, was now standing not far away with a smile on his face.

"Well, you got out of it so quickly, so I guess you can barely pass.

It's been so long since we last met, do you want a hug?"

Nodding slowly, Taoist Qingya smiled softly, opened his arms, and raised his chin:

"Come on, don't be shy."

"I'll hug you, sir!"

After the initial surprise and astonishment, Qi Xiu's face quickly turned gloomy. He flipped his hand and summoned the Haotian Mirror. A ray of bright mirror light that illuminated the heaven and earth stabbed towards Taoist Qingya.

For so many years, he has been looking for the fat Taoist priest.

In the final analysis, I just want to figure out his seemingly unintentional but meticulous protection and planning.

Why does it happen to me so often?

Who is he?

Why is he constantly being targeted, yet always able to escape from the traps set up by them at the critical moment?

This feeling of powerlessness, unable to control his own destiny, was like a thorn in his throat, preventing him from ever finding true peace of mind.

Seeing Qi Xiu coming over angrily, Taoist Qingya waved his hands helplessly:

"I know you have a lot to ask me, but before that, how about I help you get rid of the current crisis first?"

The dazzling white light from the mirror fell on Taoist Qingya, but it was like a warm halo and had no effect at all.

He realized that the true strength of this fat Taoist priest was definitely more terrifying than he had imagined.

Qi Xiu snorted and glanced at him coldly:

"Get rid of the crisis. I'm afraid you're trying to set a trap for me again."

He knew very well that Qi Xiu was talking about the last time he hid a secret technique in the talisman but was discovered by him.

Taoist Qingya scratched his eyebrows and laughed casually:

"Nonsense, am I that kind of person?

Okay, okay, I will tell you in detail what you want to know later.

The most urgent task right now is to seize this opportunity.

If you don't catch the pie that falls from the sky, it will be gone in the blink of an eye."

Although he was still resentful of Taoist Qingya's concealment, he also knew that he had never harmed him. So when he heard him mention the opportunity, Qi Xiu had to suppress his depression and said in a deep voice:

"What opportunity? Stop playing dumb with me."

Seeing that Qi Xiu had temporarily let this one slip, Taoist Qingya chuckled and pointed at the light and shadows that were surrounding him and had not yet dissipated:

"Do you know what this is?"

"This is……"

Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the pictures of time and space surrounding him, and his expression gradually became serious:

"my past?"

Seeing that the picture was exactly his past, Qi Xiu was slightly shocked.

What kind of method could reveal his past in this way?

In this case, doesn't he have any secrets?

“After mastering the art of looking at qi, one can develop nine different secret arts.

This is one of them.

It is called: Observing the three thousand moments.

Any past that existed can be summoned in its entirety in the form of a scroll, from beginning to end, without missing a single inch.

If the person who casts the spell also has the means to interfere with the light of the universe.

You can then attack the recipient from the past.

Even... obliterate!"

"Attacking the recipient from the past? Is there such a method?"

After hearing Taoist Qingya's explanation, Qi Xiu was also surprised, and quickly realized the viciousness and cruelty of this method.

Even the Yuanshen Zhenzun, who looks down on the world and acts without restraint, is not born to be so powerful.

He also started from entering Taoism, getting stained with blood, becoming a Taoist body, and practicing step by step.

According to what Taoist Qingya said.

Wouldn't it be possible for someone who possesses the means to directly attack the Yuanshen Zhenzun who has just entered the Dao realm?

Even... a little more outrageous, such as just being born...

"If that's true, can't this method kill anyone in the world?" Qi Xiu couldn't help but ask, pursing his lips.

“There is no technique in this world that can kill everything.

Although this method is strange and difficult to defend against, it is not unsolvable.

I know what you are thinking. The True Spirit of Yuanshen can stay in the long river of time and travel between the past and the future. Using this kind of method on it will only trigger a counterattack from the long river of time.

Moreover, illuminating the three thousand instants can only call up the past.

If one wants to take action against people, events, or things that existed in the [past], the means and conditions required are extremely harsh.

If you interfere with time, you will suffer the backlash of cause and effect and be severely punished by heaven!

Even those at the Dao body realm cannot bear it.

If you force the action, it will still be a life for another.

So this method is not as scary as you think." Taoist Qingya explained slowly.

"Even if that's the case, why do you say that such a dangerous method is my chance?"

"Of course it's chance. You've been practicing till now, and your cultivation has reached a level that is unparalleled.

In the realm of Yuanshen, I am afraid that there are few people who can be your opponent.

The Yuanshen Realm maintains its status and rules and will not attack you without reason.

So this is your biggest flaw and weakness right now.

It’s the weak past.

The opportunity I'm talking about is to help you kill these weak ones!

Make up for this deficiency!"

Hearing Taoist Qingya's plan, even Qi Xiu was slightly surprised. He never thought that the opportunity he mentioned was so mysterious and bold.

Cut off the past?

“But if these past me were also me, and I killed them, would the present me still exist?

And what you said about interfering in the time will backfire and the law of nature will punish you severely..."

After being surprised, Qi Xiu also expressed his own thoughts.

He trusted Taoist Qingya very much, but it was not an unconditional trust.

"Haha, this is easy.

Have you seen your most original past? "

Following Taoist Qingya's instructions, Qi Xiu saw the light and shadow scroll with a hole in it.

“The past has been broken, and the person who stabbed the sword has already borne most of the backlash of cause and effect.

With your level of cultivation, you can completely digest the remaining backlash. At most you will be seriously injured and recuperate for a period of time.

As for how to cut off the past and still maintain the present.

In fact, you already know this method."

With a mysterious smile, Taoist Qingya slowly raised a finger, on which faint blue-gold divine light emerged.

"I already know how to do it?"

With a puzzled look, Qi Xiu looked at the divine light in Taoist Qingya's hand. After seeing what was in it, his pupils suddenly narrowed:

"This is……"
