The Sword Named No Way Out - Chapter 43

This blow has transcended the scope of human beings, and is a real duel between “heaven” and “heaven”.

The beam of thunder and lightning went from the abyss to the sky, shattered inch by inch from bottom to top, and then exploded completely. Countless dazzling branches densely covered the wilderness. The thick clouds that covered the sky and the sun were cleared away, and the brilliant light of the sky was faintly exposed from the gaps.

That is the legendary upper heaven.

For hundreds of years, there has been no detailed record of ascension, and no one has ever seen what it is like to become a real immortal. Even Xu Shuangce couldn’t help looking farther out, his eyes passing through the ever-changing clouds, but suddenly he felt something, and his eyebrows twitched.

——The upper heaven described in the Taoist scriptures is clean, peaceful, nihilistic and blissful, but at this moment he can faintly feel the breath of fighting and conquering, leaking from the cracks in the flow of robbery clouds.

Could it be that the gods of the upper realm are also fighting fiercely at this time?

Why?

The crack closed in no time, and thick black clouds quickly covered the sky again, blocking Xu Shuangce’s sight. Immediately afterwards, the third thunder came down at a faster and more astonishing speed, and directly hit the double-sided mirror; the person in the mirror did not show any weakness at all, and struck back with a sword light that devoured the sky even more , The whole world was engulfed by scattered thunder!

Several people could no longer be in the center of the storm, and were forced to retreat outside the wilderness. The thunder calamity is more ferocious one by one, and fiercer than one; but the counterattack of the man in the mirror is also fiercer and stronger than the other. Ninety-nine and eighty-one heinous cataclysms came to an end, the abyss was swallowed up by the influx of rivers and seas, and all the plains were turned into swamps; the last thunderbolt that destroyed the world ruthlessly confronted the world-shaking sword light, bursting out of the world resonance!

Everyone’s ears were temporarily deaf, and all they could see was white light.

I don’t know how long it took, it was as long as several years, and the shaking ground under the feet gradually calmed down amidst the roar.

Everyone’s paralyzed five senses finally recovered little by little. Mu Duozhu held his temple in pain and said hoarsely, “What is that?”

The lead cloud dissipated, the sky shone brightly, and the unprecedented thunder calamity finally passed, but the bright and clear double-sided mirror over the abyss still did not disappear.

Although it was already covered with cracks, it was not broken. It slowly rotated and released thousands of layers of gentle and gorgeous crimson light, floating in all directions like a veil.

That is actually a powerful guardian circle.

The last remnants of the grand master had not had time to dissipate, and under the protection of the magic circle, he slowly rose up from the abyss. The other three souls and six souls that had long since dissipated between heaven and earth were miraculously reunited by the magic circle, and the bright rays of light converged to reshape the complete Dharma body and primordial spirit, which was exactly the appearance of the great master before his death.

He floated flat in mid-air, opened his eyes in some confusion, and looked at the double-sided mirror in front of him. The next moment, the scarlet shadow in the mirror flashed, and the man in the mirror who couldn’t see his face appeared again, extending his hand to him friendly and unreservedly.

For some reason, when Xu Shuangce saw that the mirror was almost shattered just now, an uncontrollable uneasiness and anxiety suddenly emerged in Xu Shuangce’s heart, and he almost wanted to rush to check it immediately. It wasn’t until the figure in the mirror appeared intact again that the anxiety eased slightly, and the heart in the throat fell back into the chest cavity.

Immediately afterwards, a pinprick of anger suddenly appeared in his mind.

The sting came secretly and for no reason, Xu Shuangce thought it was an illusion, and then realized that the involuntary strong anger was neither aimed at himself nor at the mirror—it was actually aimed at the great master who had resurrected from the dead in the void.

How could this feeling arise?

It was just a matter of an instant, too fast for him to distinguish. The next moment, I saw the soul of the great master submerging into the mirror, and then the golden light shone, the gate of heaven opened, and the double-sided mirror carried the soul that had successfully crossed the catastrophe, and flew away to the legendary upper heaven.

A grand master whose golden elixir was completely destroyed, his primordial spirit self-destructed, and his soul flew away, miraculously survived ninety-nine and eighty-one extremely evil catastrophes at the last moment when his remaining soul was exhausted, and he immediately disbanded and ascended to become a god. Never-before-seen scenes.

Xu Shuangce looked up, and saw that the mirror rose higher and higher, until it was about to enter the door full of divine light in the upper heaven, but suddenly a black shadow flashed inside the door, and then there was a black robe inlaid with silver, holding a magic mirror. The figure of the sword rushed out!

From this angle, the face of the visitor could not be seen clearly, but Xu Shuangce’s heart suddenly hit, and a strong and indescribable sense of familiarity occupied all his consciousness. In an instant, there was only one thought in his mind: I know him.

Who is he? Why am I so familiar?

No one noticed that Xu Shuangce’s expression seemed to be frozen, and the incredible scene high in the sky was reflected in his slightly constricted pupils—a figure in black erupted with astonishing coercion like a god, and the divine sword in his hand was engulfed in a hurricane of heaven and earth, and pierced the mirror in fury.

He wants to tear up the primordial spirit of the newly ascended grandmaster!

At that moment, the hurricane swept across the entire world from the horizon, the city collapsed, the wilderness was overturned, the heaven and the earth turned upside down like a huge cauldron, and everything around was instantly swept away by the invisible torrent.

—The consciousness supporting this picture finally came to an end.

Everyone was sucked into the void at the same time, and with a deafening bang, the earth shattered into dust, drowning everything to the top!

Xu Shuangce suddenly opened his eyes.

He was standing in the hall of the Jinchuan corpse pavilion, in front of him was the calm corpse on the ice bed, and Ying Kai, Changsun Chengfeng and others around him were waking up one after another, staggering backwards because of the overwhelming impact of the five senses.

Their souls returned to reality.

Yu Chirui felt dizzy, clutching his forehead in pain: “Why did we get out?”

Changsun Chengfeng supported the ice bed with one hand to stabilize his figure, his face was not much prettier than him: “It should be that Du Kaixun realized that this is the end after being implanted in the soldier silk.”

Ying Kai propped his forehead and sighed: “Fortunately. Fortunately, that senior finally reshaped the soul, and it should have ascended smoothly.”

“…” Xu Shuangce turned his head slowly and asked, “Smooth ascension?”

Only those who are familiar with him can hear that the tone of the words is not right, Ying Kai raised his head and asked in surprise, “What’s wrong with you?”

Xu Shuangce’s originally indifferent face seemed to be frozen at this moment, his eyes stared at him, and he said hoarsely for a while: “Didn’t you see the person who came out of the last heaven?”

Ying Kai was puzzled: “Who is it? Didn’t that senior’s primordial spirit go directly to Tianmen?”

“…”

Xu Shuangce looked around, glanced at everyone’s bewildered faces, and repeated, “Didn’t you see it?”

Mu Duozhu, Yu Chirui, and Changsun Chengfeng didn’t know how to answer, Ying Kai asked suspiciously: “Did you see something, Shuang Ce? I only saw the magic weapon carrying that senior flying away, it should be smooth Have you crossed the robbery?”

“What about the man in the mirror?”

Ying Kai asked in astonishment, “In the mirror? Is there someone?”

No one saw the figure in the mirror who was fighting against the catastrophe with a sword, and no one saw the last **** in black robe and silver armor, holding a sharp sword and rushing towards the mirror.

Xu Shuangce closed his eyes, his complexion was slightly pale.

“Are you okay, Shuang Ce?” Ying Kai became worried, “Did you see something?”

Why am I the only one seeing it?

Where did the familiarity and the same resentment that penetrated into the soul come from?

Cangyang Sect Master’s usual mask of alienation and stability covered all the turbulent waves in his mind. After a while, he opened his eyes and said calmly: “It’s nothing, I must have misread it.”

“Is the scene we saw just now real?” Mu Duozhu rubbed his temple with one hand, and frowned: “And where did Du Kaixun see this scene? I read all the books of the Xianmeng, How come it has never been seen in any history books?”

Mu Duozhu was slightly older than Ying Kai and Xu Shuangce, if he had never been heard of, then everyone would have no clue.

Ying Kai said: “Actually, for hundreds of years, there has been no senior from the Taoist schools who have ushered in a catastrophe. The perfect ascension only exists in Taoist classics and myths and legends. Ascension to Xiantai sixteen years ago…”

When he said this, his voice suddenly paused, he looked away, and said: “According to the usual rules of the Xianmeng, the leader of the alliance should go up to the high platform to worship the heaven and the earth, and the master of Cangyang goes down to the underground palace to sacrifice to the ghosts and gods. However, Shuang Ce and I changed positions temporarily. , because I want to take this opportunity to personally go down to the underground palace to ask the ghosts and gods, why the seniors have not been able to usher in the catastrophe for many years, and whether the path to ascension has been blocked?”

It is true that since ancient times, the leader of the alliance has ascended to Xiantai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. It was the first time that Ying Kai and Xu Shuangce changed positions sixteen years ago. But what he never expected was that before he had time to ask the gods, there was a shocking change in which Fahua Immortal Venerable Fahua failed to assassinate Sect Master Xu and was killed by a sword.

Ying Kai was shocked, and the sacrificial ceremony had to be interrupted. When he rushed out of the underground palace and went up to the immortal platform, he saw blood all over the white jade platform. Xu Shuangce had already strangled Gong Wei’s body in full view, and Qianli Yujian returned to Cangyangzong.

Sixteen years hadn’t completely dispelled Ying Kai’s knot about Gong Wei’s death, and he didn’t want to mention the past, he just said: “Back then I couldn’t ask the answer that no one had ascended in a century, but now I’m in Du Kaixun’s place.” In my consciousness, I witnessed the ascension of the giant giant sect with my own eyes. This matter is quite strange. Moreover, the world-destroying giant controlled by that mechanism is even more unreasonable and unheard of, which really makes me very worried…”

Worries are inevitable. Although the insane mechanism soldier just now has been buried deep in the ground, if it can be repaired, or another one appears in reality, wouldn’t Ying Kai, Xu Shuangce, Wei Chi Rui and other great masters line up to fill in the ground? go in?

Changsun Chengfeng said, “I don’t think so.”

Ying Kai asked: “What?”

The eldest grandson Chengfeng resumed his somewhat casual demeanor, put his hands in the sleeves of his robe and said: “The consciousness that the refiner instructs the soldiers does not necessarily have to be his own memory, and it may be just a conjectural plot—my wicked brother He was only nineteen years old when he died, so it is absolutely impossible to see this scene with his own eyes from any place, even if he becomes a ghost cultivator after death, the possibility is not too great. Therefore, what the immortal friends saw just now, maybe it was just Du Kaixun It’s just an illusion created by myself, how can I verify its authenticity? At least I’ve never seen the capital in the illusion in the Central Plains.”

Ying Kai nodded thoughtfully, then turned around and asked, “Where’s Brother Mu?”

“The golden boat has been traveling around all the year round, and it is true that I have never seen it before.” Mu Duozhu hesitated, and said with difficulty: “But… the scene of annihilation and ascension is really too real, not quite like a created illusion… “

The situation was at a stalemate for a while, Ying Kai couldn’t help looking at Yu Chirui, but saw Yu Chirui staring at the bottom of his feet, as if he suddenly became interested in the rocky ground under the ice bed, and turned a deaf ear to everything around him.

Looking at Xu Shuangce again, his expression was indifferent and his eyes closed, he didn’t even know if he was listening or not.

Ying Kai was tired, sighed and said, “Since this is the case, I have a way to verify the authenticity.”

Changsun Chengfeng immediately asked, “What?”

Ying Kai said: “Find out the exact place where the scene in the illusion took place.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shuangce raised his eyelids and glanced over.

But the rest of the people were still puzzled, Changsun Chengfeng wondered: “How do I find this?”

Ying Kai didn’t answer directly: “I need an open space. Come with me.”

He turned around and walked towards the main entrance of the hall of the corpse pavilion. Everyone followed him without knowing why. Only Yu Chirui dawdled by the ice bed, Ying Kai looked back when he stepped out of the threshold, and asked in surprise, “Longsheng? What’s wrong with you?”

Xu Shuangce also stopped and turned around.

Yu Chirui: “…”

Everyone stared at each other across the air, and Xu Shuangce cast his calm gaze on the bottom of the ice bed.

“Ah!” Suddenly Yu Chirui squatted down, just blocking Xu Shuangce’s sight, and groped on the ground expressionlessly: “The thing fell!”

“…”

“…”

Ying Kai covered his face with one hand and remained silent, Mu Duozhu said with difficulty: “Again… is it peanut again?”

Yu Chirui calmly did not answer.

Mu Duozhu turned his head and couldn’t bear to look at this picture again: “…Since this is the case, please master Jianzong to pick it up quickly.”

Yu Chirui calmly said, “Okay!”

Xu Shuangce withdrew his gaze and followed the crowd across the threshold without saying a word.

With a bang, the door of the ice pavilion closed, and the huge round hall became quiet again.

The air seemed to freeze for a few breaths, and then Yu Chirui quickly turned his head, like a bird of prey, reached out his hand to the bottom of the ice bed, and grabbed Gong Wei like lightning:

“Who are you?!”

When they came out of the illusion, all souls were greatly shocked. Gong Wei, who had no golden core, suffered the most. He was half-comatose until now and then slowly woke up. He lay flat on the ground and said weakly: “…so you just Don’t you recognize me?”

Yu Chirui narrowed his eyes suspiciously: “I remember someone dragged me and Ying Kai out of Dingxianling, was it you?”

As soon as Gong Wei was mentioned, he was filled with bitterness: “Who else is it if it’s not me?”

Yu Chirui squeezed even tighter: “You are clearly a disciple of the Cangyang Sect, what is the purpose of showing such kindness? Are you harboring evil intentions?!”

“…”

Gong Wei maintained this posture with his arms tightly squeezed, struggled out from under the ice bed, then turned over and grabbed Yu Chirui’s lapel, angrily said: “It’s only been sixteen years and you won’t recognize me anymore. ?!”

There seemed to be some familiar sense of crisis welling up in my heart, but before Yu Chirui could stop it, the next moment I saw Gong Wei closing his eyes and singing a little tune with all his heart, his voice was like a fox pawing Kai Yuchirui screamed in his head, the first sentence was the Great Dharma Mantra of Secretly Connecting Yin and Yang Chaos.

“!”

The blood from Yu Chirui’s whole body rushed to the top of his head, his eyes were about to split, he covered his ears and stepped back three feet: “Gong Wei?!”
