Chapter 57: Another Cliff
It's really bad, not ordinary, let alone the ghost sword, even the Lingyun sword technique passed down by the Ren family is much stronger than the Cangming sword technique. If it weren't for the huge gap in cultivation between the two, Ren Daoyuan would almost have the confidence to defeat him.
If...it would be great if he was a middle-level earth level.
There is no such thing in the world. Reality is reality. Cangming is the top-level cultivation level of the Earth level, not far from entering the Heaven level, but Ren Daoyuan enters the Earth level for only three months. Even if you have more than 800 earth veins and your cultivation progress is a thousand miles a day, it will take at least ten months to one year to enter the middle-level Earth level.
The gap in cultivation made Ren Daoyuan feel uncomfortable when the two swords intersected, and he could only rely on strange sword techniques to minimize collisions. In this way, he would feel restricted when fighting, just like when Yan Zhenkun met Li Yun's horizontal sword artifact in the Taoist Palace. He was obviously stronger than the other party, but he couldn't take it for a while.
"Master...Master..." Ren Daoyuan called out repeatedly.
Cangming stopped the horizontal sword and looked at Ren Daoyuan in surprise. The continuous attacks made him feel a little difficult. Ren Daoyuan's strange sword technique always appeared unexpectedly in a position he could not have imagined. If his cultivation level was not much higher, his movements, reactions, and speed were even higher, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.
Ren Daoyuan gasped and said, "Master, can you let the boy die more clearly?"
The questions in his heart were so uncomfortable, and his lungs were as painful as fire. He needed time to breathe. He needed, and Cangming also needed them. As a Taoist master, he was not good at fighting. He originally thought that relying on his cultivation level of two levels, he might easily win this elementary apprentice. Who knew that it would be such a trouble.
As a Taoist master, Cangming naturally had Taoist weapons in his hands, but his Taoist weapons were not Taoist weapons and could not be used in battle. For example, when he was following Ren Daoyuan, he used a relatively rare Taoist weapon.
"Go to hell and ask." Cangming adjusted his breath for a moment and continued to attack. It was better to die in a confused way than to understand death.
Ren Daoyuan naturally didn't know that when he was calculating Cangming, Cangming was also calculating him. Cangming and Cangye were of course related, and they were very close, and they were authentic blood relatives.
Cangye arranged Ren Daoyuan in Ande City, so he naturally had no good intentions. This place is relatively remote, and Cangye was also a Taoist master in the hall. It was much easier to find an opportunity to get rid of Ren Daoyuan here than in the Pingshan Daozong.
Cangming held Ren Daoyuan for three months and finally asked him to take the initiative to collect the Taoist fetus. He used methods to transfer two guards around Ren Daoyuan and let him go on the road alone. Then he used a special and useless Taoist weapon to track Ren Daoyuan, and finally killed him and threw him away, eliminating future troubles.
Ren Daoyuan just wanted to escape home. He calculated clearly in other aspects, but forgot that there were two earth-level guards next to Master Dao’s apprentice. No wonder he forgot that after entering Caiyun, he did not need to be too strict in the protection. The two earth-level guards were extremely relaxed during this period and were usually not around Ren Daoyuan, which made him mistakenly think that there would be no guards around him when entering Caiyun.
The level of cultivation determines the strength of a warrior's internal strength, the length of the qi, physical strength, endurance, strength, speed, etc. It is the overall gap. The difference in martial arts can only reduce this gap, but cannot be completely ignored. Unless Ren Daoyuan has the legendary secret magic powers that are unpredictable to ghosts and gods.
Ren Daoyuan was able to play a little bit of the ghost sword technique, and only played some role in his moves. After the battle was long, Cangming had a certain understanding of the ghost sword, and it was hard to do anything like he did at the beginning.
No, if this continues, I will definitely not be able to hold on. Ren Daoyuan stepped back step by step and retreated to the edge of the cliff. Fortunately, for safety reasons, he had made some moves on the edge of the cliff.
The two swords intersected, and Ren Daoyuan swayed a few times with the heavy pressure from the other side's horizontal sword and fell off the cliff. He didn't know whether his performance was successful. While his body was falling, his waist knife slashed three times on a stone, and then let go, throwing the already broken waist knife and the stone that he had already loosened off the cliff.
Ren Daoyuan waited for his body to fall several feet, snatched the cliff with his hands, grabbed several vines that had been prepared long ago, and hid in a dead corner of the cliff, and stepped on the foothold that had been prepared in advance.
Adjust your breathing evenly, and stick your body to the cliff. You dare not raise your head. You can make your breathing seem vague and inaudible. You learned this from Fire Phoenix when you chop the stone and fall off the cliff. You just learned it and used it well, but you don’t know what the effect is.
When Cangming leaned his head and looked down at the cliff, the stone had already fallen deeply. Looking down from above, it was difficult to see clearly whether it was a stone or a human being that fell down. Only the blade of the waist knife collided with the cliff from time to time, making a slight and difficult-to-identify metal collision sound.
Ren Daoyuan found that he had miscalculated some things. Cangming was very smart and did not leave because he saw him falling off the cliff. He was trying to go down and test it.
Just as Ren Daoyuan was gritting his teeth and preparing to continue moving downward, a sharp whistling sound came from a distance. The sound was extremely harsh, and I don’t know what it was. When Cangming heard the sound, his face changed slightly. He turned his body and the horse was on the cliff. The neighing sounds of the horses in Yunzhou were roaring and hooves. After a while, there was no sound.
Ren Daoyuan didn't dare to show up. He waited for about half a quarter of an hour, raised his head and looked up, but could not see anything. He hesitated for a moment, and was about to take the risk of climbing up and take a look.
As soon as he moved, his heart sank. He felt that the few vines in his hand made a squeaking sound, which was obviously overwhelming and could be broken at any time.
No, he had tested it many times when he was preparing. These vines were extremely strong. As long as one of them could support Ren Daoyuan, which was not heavy. Now he is holding four in his hand, and even if a few more people come, it will not be possible to break it.
"Hehe, your rope is about to break." Ren Daoyuan was at a time of confusion. Not far away from him, a girl's laughter came out. The girl imitated him, held the vine in her hand, and her body was extremely flexible. She swung around on the cliff, with a innocent smile on her face, and she looked extremely happy.
Judging from the figure and appearance, the girl is actually not young, at least seventeen or eighteen years old, but she looks innocent and innocent, with her skin on her face a little blue, and under the rising sun, it seems transparent, giving people an unhealthy feeling.
"Who are you?" Ren Daoyuan asked. The time when this girl appeared was so coincidental.
"I am Mingzhu. Your knife is good. Can you teach me?" The girl's body was extremely agile and danced with the wind. She floated back and forth in front of Ren Daoyuan, holding only one vine in her hand, but it was safer than Ren Daoyuan.
Ren Daoyuan dared not move. Through the vines in his hand, he knew that something went wrong somewhere above, and with a little force, the four vines would definitely break.
"Why should I teach you?" Ren Daoyuan asked.
"If you don't teach me, I won't save you. I'll kill you." Mingzhu's face was innocent, but what she said made people feel gloomy. For some reason, Ren Daoyuan was sure what she said was true.
"Okay, I'll teach you." Ren Daoyuan responded quickly. This girl looked very strange. Although she looked good, every time she looked at her, she felt a little chilling in her heart.
"Keep your word, don't you count, I'll kill you?" Mingzhu showed a small white teeth, looking very cute. In Ren Daoyuan's eyes, she felt like the tiger's teeth exposed by a tiger, ready to eat people at any time.
"Of course, count." Ren Daoyuan replied quickly. After a few words, Ren Daoyuan had already judged that Mingzhu, who was a few years younger than him, had a stronger cultivation level than him, at least with a middle-level level.
Seventeen or eighteen years old, middle-class in the earth level, such a talent for cultivation is almost comparable to his fiancée.
Mingzhu stretched out her hand and grabbed Ren Daoyuan's arm. With the other hand, she used a little force and their bodies floated up the cliff. This place was not high from the top of the cliff. Within a few breaths, the two had already returned to the cliff.
"Tell me quickly." Mingzhu pulled Ren Daoyuan's arm and shook it around, looking like a little girl acting cute, but in this way, he felt very scary in Ren Daoyuan's eyes.
"No problem, you can see clearly." Ren Daoyuan said, breaking a branch and unfolding the ghost sword technique one by one. The speed is very slow and people can see clearly.
There are not many sword styles in the ghost sword technique. There are thirty-six styles, which are not as difficult as sutra. If you only make moves, even a low-level warrior can practice them after spending a while. However, the ghost sword that is practiced in this way is not surprising except for some weirdness. After all, the mystery of martial arts lies in the use of internal strength of the mind.
Mingzhu learned very seriously. Standing ten steps away from Ren Daoyuan, he pulled out a two-foot-long knife, imitating Ren Daoyuan's appearance, and played with one move at a time. Ren Daoyuan practiced twice, and Mingzhu could already practice the knife alone.
Mingzhu kept playing the knife in her hand for more than ten times, keeping the ghost sword technique in mind, then she put the knife in her heart, turned to look at Ren Daoyuan, and said with a smile: "This knife technique looks pretty good, write me the mind technique."
"No." Ren Daoyuan spread his hands and said, "There is no problem in teaching her sword technique. If he handed over the mental technique, it would be a whole set of ghost swords. Ren Daoyuan would not easily teach this thing to outsiders.
"No?" Mingzhu's willow eyebrows were raised. This was not a description, but a real one. Ren Daoyuan could not believe that the originally curved eyebrows could be completely raised, as if two straight black lines were drawn between his eyes.
