Chapter 876 Three Transformations: Wielding the Sword to Destroy the Clouds (Part 1)

The swordsman before them possessed powerful techniques and unrestrained sword intent, yet both Young Master Hai and Hua Gu could see that this person was merely an avatar.

Its root changes within the demonic realm of Yang marrow.

If the transformation of Nongyue is the dissipation of her physical form and spirit, evolving into poisonous mist and blood flames...

Then the three poisonous realms of Yang marrow evolve into various incarnations.

The Demon Lord, whose power is said to be the most unique among all the Demon Lords, is indeed so.

Hua Gu couldn't help but feel a strong urge to explore.

In her view, the methods used by Su Che were somewhat similar to the Buddhist incarnation method, the so-called "thirty-two marks" transformation, and also somewhat similar to the Xuanmen's "one qi transforms into three pure ones".

"In that case, if Buddhism has attachment to self, attachment to dharma, and attachment to emptiness, there should be two more manifestations that have not yet appeared."

Young Master Hai gently stroked his palm. The strange pupils he had just seen had clearly drained a lot of his energy, and his face was still somewhat pale.

This Blood Demon Eye was bestowed by the "Father God," or rather, the Lord. It is a secret treasure that can reveal the origins of others and deduce their past and future.

However, just like all the secret treasures that follow the path of Hunyuan Annihilation Saint, it not only requires the consumption of the master's magic power, but also the use of essence blood and true essence as sacrifices to activate it.

Just observing the consumption of the Three Poisons Realm made Young Master Hai feel quite exhausted.

It seems we'll need to eat several hundred more cultivators before we can recover.

He looked towards Liu Qi on the other side.

"In that case, please have those four make their move."

Liu Qi said cautiously.

High in the sky, the white-robed swordsman maneuvered with unparalleled skill. No matter how Yishan and Nongyue unleashed their supernatural powers, he always had the strength to retaliate.

At this moment, Yang Sui was actually showing signs of suppressing Yi Shan Nong Yue and the other person, which made Liu Qi a little anxious.

With their rivals so powerful, how will the Wanling Sect conduct itself in the future?

"I wondered why I had this sudden urge, it turns out it was because of the painter sister."

As they were talking, a figure appeared on the treetop not far away.

He was a scholar dressed in purple, his face still somewhat similar to Yang Sui's, except that he had a slight mustache. He had his hands behind his back, and his eyes were full of arrogance.

He turned his head to look at Hai Gongzi on the other side.

"Was it you, you beast, who was spying on me just now?"

Before the word "beast" even landed, the scholar moved swiftly, his feet moving in rapid succession, unleashing bursts of energy that, like a tornado, turned the place where the three stood upside down.

"Martial Arts Fist Gang!"

Liu Qi moved, and his entire body swelled up, covered in dense, purplish-black scales. His feet transformed into ox hooves, and his hands into tiger claws. He spread his body and took the attack head-on with his own body.

"That's ridiculous. Can something kicked out with the legs be called fist energy? This is clearly leg energy."

The scholar in purple robes let out a cold laugh.

"Take my Wind God Leg!"

With a series of rapid leg movements, like a whirlwind, Liu Qi spread out the beast's body and swung his fists, actually using brute force to forcefully counterattack.

As expected, this is the method of Bailudong.

Hua Gu did not make a move; she secretly used her escape technique to create distance.

In just a short while, they had retreated to a distance of thirty miles.

The changes in the Yang Marrow Demonic Art are not yet complete; it is best to wait and see for now.

Young Master Hai made the same choice. The instant the man in purple appeared, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed all the maids around him before retreating swiftly.

Only Liu Qi was left out and became the unlucky one.

"Some people would rather be good people than act like beasts and take my Cloud-Dispelling Palm."

The scholar in purple flipped his palms over, and a series of pure martial arts fist energies solidified into a tangible form, smashing Liu Qi until he was dizzy and disoriented.

Liu Qi resembled a demon, his physical body continuously growing stronger with each attack, clearly demonstrating a divine ability to absorb the power of others and convert it into his own. Not only did his physique increase, but the speed of his punches and kicks also increased dramatically.

A pair of tiger claws stirred up layers of fierce wind, and actually fought to a draw with the purple-robed scholar in front of him.

"You wretched beast, do you really think you can rival me, the Purple-Clad Marquis?"

The scholar in purple let out a long roar, and a layer of lightning energy surged around him as he slashed down from above with his palm as a blade.

"Receive my Thunder Prison Blade Scripture!"

This blow was so heavy that it immediately broke through Liu Qi's defenses and sent Bu Xu of the Wanling Sect flying backward.

However, the purple-robed marquis did not hold back. He used his hands, knives, fingers, and swords in combination, conjuring up all sorts of ingenious moves, whipping Liu Qi's beast body up like a ball and beating it mercilessly in the air.

"A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it will transform into a dragon once it encounters wind and clouds. This is the prophecy of my destiny. Now, with tigers roaring and fish and dragons raging, it is the time for me to defeat the enemy. I will kill you all first, and then take the head of that monster."

He burst into laughter, while Liu Qi was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

The person before him possessed profound martial arts skills, no less than those of the renowned martial arts scholars of White Deer Cave. If he hadn't just witnessed that this person was a manifestation of Yang Marrow using the Heavenly Demon Technique, he would have definitely mistaken him for a rising star nurtured by White Deer Cave.

At this moment, not to mention the future of the Wanling Sect, Liu Qi felt that his own life was likely to end here.

There must be no more holding back.

However, at this crucial moment, a cry of an eagle suddenly came from the sky.

A black shadow the size of a small mountain shot down from the sky and collided head-on with the Purple-Clad Marquis.

Xuan Tie Flying Eagle.

This spirit bird, which he had raised for many years, was now as hard as metal, and its wings were no less sharp than any ordinary flying sword. It had been accumulating speed in the clouds, and now, seizing the opportunity, it launched a strike at this crucial moment.

"What a hairy beast, trying to die too."

This powerful strike was thwarted by the Purple-Clad Marquis's single punch.

"Three parts Qi return to its origin, seven parts luck. You beast, take another one of my moves."

With one hand, the Purple-Clad Marquis unleashed his martial arts fist energy, his intent firmly locking onto Liu Qi. A punch came horizontally from the sky, his movements extremely fast, leaving Liu Qi with no way to dodge.

There was no other way but to take the blow head-on.

puff.

Liu Qi spat out a mouthful of blood, and his original beast form continued to shrink, transforming back into human form.

Hurry up.

Liu Qi burned his essence blood, transforming into a blood shadow that hurtled towards the sky.

"Senior sister said they correspond to attachment to self, attachment to phenomena, and attachment to emptiness. Which level does this scholar in purple robes correspond to?"

No one knows what method that young master Hai used to suddenly appear beside Hua Gu.

“Ego-attachment corresponds to the fundamental self. It is the attachment to the existence of an ego in the universe. Dharma-attachment is the perception of the universe, believing that such a universe truly exists. Emptiness-attachment is the attachment to achievement. In my opinion, this purple-robed marquis is most likely a manifestation of Dharma-attachment.”

"Law enforcement? How can that be considered a martial arts technique?"

Young Master Hai was very puzzled.

According to Buddhist teachings, attachment to the Dharma is an obstacle to the belief that the Dharma exists.

If attachment to self is clinging to the idea that there is a self, then attachment to the Dharma is clinging to the idea that the external world truly exists.

From this perspective, if the change in self-attachment is the emergence of an unparalleled swordsman pursuing spiritual enlightenment, then the change in dharma-attachment should be the emergence of a powerful master of the demonic sect, or at the very least, a master of the esoteric sect who has mastered the nine dharmas.

How did this martial artist come to be?
"Unless this Chief Yang believes in martial arts above all else?"

Hua Gu shook his head self-deprecatingly, saying, "How could that be?"

Looking across the three thousand lands, martial arts are all mediocre and mundane; only the Xuan, Buddha, and Demon families are truly superior.

Even among sword cultivators, some are thriving while others are unheard of.

Yang Sui actually believed that martial arts were real and true, capable of accommodating the nine transformations. Just how strange was the void from which he originated?
