On the Avenue.

Chapter 582 The Second Way
Chen Shi's face changed slightly, and before he could give any instructions to Hei Guo, Hei Guo had already taken the lead and asked the six hundred immortals around him to each offer up their sword boxes!

Wu Guanyun saw figures moving around him. In an instant, six hundred immortals formed a sword formation recorded in the Hunyuan Sword Sutra. There were three layers inside and three layers outside the formation, which were linked together and airtight. He could not help but be surprised.

The Fire Camp was under his command, and they were almost wiped out some time ago, with only a dozen of the more than a thousand soldiers returning alive. Most of the current Fire Camp members were newly promoted immortals who had just joined the army, and some of them had not yet learned all the sword techniques, and their coordination in the sword formation was even more sparse.

It is for this reason that Wu Guanyun was so calm and said that he was the one who released the devil.

He was a great master from the Golden Immortal Realm. Facing hundreds of vagrant soldiers from the Heavenly Immortal Realm, it was a one-sided massacre!

However, he did not expect that these roving soldiers and brave warriors were so skilled in forming their formations and cooperating closely with each other. As soon as he spoke, the heavenly soldiers of the Fire Camp had already set up a sword formation and surrounded him.

The sword energy was so vigorous that it seemed as if he was a master who had been immersed in the Hunyuan Sword Sutra for decades, and not at all like a beginner who had just joined the army!
The sword formation was even more eerie. As these immortals moved around, the sword formation also changed accordingly, and it was filled with murderous intent and was chilling.

"When did these immortals become so powerful?"

He was somewhat bewildered. "Could it be that the talents and understanding of this group of immortals who have ascended to heaven are far superior to their peers?"

However, he did not show any panic. If a True Immortal faced such a Hunyuan Sword Formation, he would probably die in just a few moves. But he was a Golden Immortal, facing the Hunyuan Sword Formation, it would be a piece of cake for him to break through the formation and escape.

Zhong Lin was also shocked. Wu Guanyun revealed that he was the culprit who released the demon. Even he was shocked, knowing that Wu Guanyun intended to kill him to silence him.

He was thinking about how to escape, but he didn't expect that Hei Guo's handling of the matter was so decisive and resolute, which made him admire him very much.

“Maybe the Dog Immortal is the ascended Golden Immortal.” He thought to himself.

Zhang Xian came and was shocked when he saw this scene. He shouted, "Fellow Daoist Chen, Black Immortal! What are you doing? This is Commander Wu! Put down your sword!"

Zhong Lin said, "General Zhang, Commander Wu was the one who released the great demon that night, wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and destroyed the Heavenly Dao magic weapon, the Heavenly Secret Strategy. He has admitted it himself!"

Zhang Xian's face changed drastically, and he said in a lost voice: "Is this true? However, this is just your one-sided statement. Commander Wu is the commander of the Heavenly Soldiers Institute. Do you know what crime you will be charged with if you slander the commander?"

Wu Guanyun smiled and said, "Zhang Xian, why bother to say more?"

Zhang Xian's expression returned to normal after a sudden change. He bowed and said, "The governor is right."

He looked around and said with a smile, "So that you all know that Commander Wu is indeed the one who released the great demon, caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace, and destroyed the Heavenly Dao magic weapon. Everyone, this is the Demon Refining Well, deep underground, with no escape, so you'd better not act rashly."

Everyone in the Fire Camp was stunned. The captains of each team were shocked, especially the 600 immortals who followed Zhang Xian to the Demon Well, who slowly retreated.

Zhang Xian turned around and glanced at them, then said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, Commander Wu is kind-hearted and has no intention of killing you. Instead, he wants to take this opportunity to get you to turn from evil to good."

Chen Shi said, "Abandon the dark and join the light? I wonder who the dark is that General Zhang is talking about, and who the light is that?"

"Darkness is Heaven!"

Zhang Xian smiled and said, "As for Ming, it's us immortals."

Wu Guanyun ignored the immortals who surrounded him, his eyes fell on Chen Shi, and he said solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, let me ask you, what is the purpose of your cultivation?"

Chen Shi thought for a moment and said, "Revenge."

Wu Guanyun was slightly startled, feeling that his answer was different from what he had imagined, and looked at Zhong Lin again, saying, "Daoyou Zhong, what is the purpose of your cultivation?"

Zhong Lin said without hesitation: "Longevity, freedom."

"well said!"

Wu Guanyun clapped his hands and said, "That's right, the goal of our cultivation is to live forever. But what about now?"

His voice suddenly became louder, and he said passionately: "Now, the gods in heaven are corrupt, the Jade Emperor controls heaven, the Four Heavenly Emperors control the four poles and the underworld, and control the immortals and enslave them! You are immortals. In the mortal world, you are high and mighty immortals. No power can restrain you, oppress you, and enslave you! But when you come to the earthly immortal world, the gods will restrain you, oppress you, and enslave you!"

His eyes were wide open, and he was full of vigor. He shouted, "Why should I release the demon to cause chaos in Heaven? Because, the Heavenly Secret Strategy is the tool used by the Dog Heavenly Emperor and the Four Imperial Gods to rule us! As long as you pass the calamity, your name and origin will appear in the Heavenly Secret Strategy. As long as you are in harmony with the Tao, you will be targeted by the Heavenly Secret Strategy and recruited to ascend to Heaven to be a soldier and cannon fodder!"

His words were so thought-provoking that even an immortal who heard them would feel resentful.

"Do you know how many soldiers die under the Heavenly King's command every year? Last year, 26,700 people died!"

He raised two fingers, filled with righteous indignation, and gnashed his teeth, "Twenty-six thousand seven hundred heavenly soldiers, not twenty-six thousand seven hundred dogs! They are twenty-six thousand seven hundred immortals! Which one of them is not born by a father and raised by a mother? Which one of them is not a genius? Which one of them did not practice hard and hone his skills in every way? Which one of them did not survive a near-death experience when crossing a calamity, and exhausted all the wealth accumulated throughout his life, and finally crossed the calamity with untold hardships?"

"Did these dead immortals work hard all their lives just to fly up to the Earthly Immortal Realm and become small soldiers? Did they do this so that those high and mighty Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Lords could use us as cannon fodder?"

Wu Guanyun looked grim, and said with a wave of his sleeves, "No! The gods enslave us, control us, and want our lives, so we must resist and take their lives! You should feel the same way, because not long ago, my Fire Camp, which is your camp, was almost wiped out!"

He paused, breathing heavily, and walked forward ignoring the sword formation set up by everyone.

Everyone was moved by his words and no one tried to stop him.

Seeing this, Hei Guo did not control these heavenly soldiers to besiege Wu Guanyun.

"Today, I ordered you to come to the Demon Refining Well because this place cannot be monitored by the Heavenly Court. Now, you have only two choices."

Wu Guanyun stopped, faced the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "One, join us and fight against the Heavenly Court with us. Two, die."

There were two groups of immortals, totaling 1,200 people. Someone immediately raised his hand and said, "General Wu, I join you!" "I will fight you!" "I am a free and easy person, why am I imprisoned? I am rebelling too!"

Everyone was talking at once, and more and more people raised their hands.

Zhang Xian suddenly said, "Those who are working with us, come over to my side."

Many immortals walked behind him. The remaining immortals hesitated, but when they saw that there were soon more than 600 people behind Zhang Xian, and more people were walking towards them, they immediately made up their minds and walked over.

As the number of people in the field decreased, Bai Fangfang shouted, "Daoyou Chen, Black Immortal, you two should come here quickly!"

As they were talking, only a few people were left in the field. Two of them left, leaving only Chen Shi, Hei Guo, and Zhong Lin.

Chen Shi and Hei Guo looked at each other and walked towards Zhang Xian. "Fellow Daoist Chen, others can come over, but you can't." Zhang Xian smiled and politely refused.

Chen Shi blinked and smiled, "Why can't I?"

Wu Guanyun's voice came from behind him, saying: "Yin Fenglou had already surrendered to me, but died in your hands. He was my subordinate, and you killed my beloved general. Of course you can't."

Chen Shi turned around, his eyes sincere and penetrating: "Commander Wu, ignorance is not a crime. I didn't know Yin Fenglou was a righteous soldier. I am also very sad about Yin Fenglou's death, but this was really an accidental injury."

Wu Guanyun's eyes were equally sincere and penetrating, and he smiled and said, "You killed Yin Fenglou, were thrown into the Heavenly Prison, and were released without guilt. The person behind you must be a powerful figure in Heaven. You must be a spy planted by Heaven among our Heavenly Soldiers!"

Hei Guo raised his head and looked at Chen Shi suspiciously. He retreated quietly with a vigilant look, distanced himself from him, and approached Zhang Xian and others.

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "Don't come over here, you are the same kind as him."

Black Pot snorted and walked back to Chen Shi, thinking, "I wanted to get close to this guy and control those immortals to attack him at the same time, but he saw through me."

Chen Shi's smile grew wider and more sincere as he said, "Commander-in-Chief Wu has misunderstood. Black Pot and I have just ascended to heaven. How could we be spies planted by the Heavenly Court?"

Wu Guanyun's eyes were grim, and his tone was even more grim: "How could the first and second bandits on the Zhuxian list have just ascended? The two of you have stolen the spiritual roots of earth treasures over the years, ruining the luck of countless immortals and making it impossible for them to survive the catastrophe. You tried to kill these immortals, it must have been instructed by the Heavenly Court!"

Chen Shi frowned slightly. What Wu Guanyun said did make sense.

If he were a heavenly soldier, I'm afraid even he would believe Wu Guanyun's speculation.

Chen Shi sighed, looked at Zhong Lin who was not far away, and said, "Why don't you go to the other side, Brother Zhong?"

Zhong Lin looked calm and composed, and said, "I am the same as you. Even if I go there, I will be driven back."

Wu Guanyun sneered, "Your Excellency Zhong Daoyou is right. You are a scholar of the Tianji Palace, and you have disguised yourself as a heavenly soldier and sneaked into the Heavenly Army Camp. You are a running dog of the Heavenly Dao, and everyone has the right to kill you!"

Chen Shi looked at Zhong Lin with sympathy and said, "So you are the Tianji scholar. You sneaked into the Tianbing Camp, are you here to investigate the rebels?"

Zhong Lin shook his head: "I came to check you. I suspect you are an ascended golden immortal."

Chen Shi laughed loudly and shook his head, saying, "If I were a Golden Immortal, why would I need to go to the West Heaven to seek enlightenment? You are investigating me in the wrong direction."

Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards General Zhang Xian like an arrow!

At the same time he rushed out, Hei Guo and Zhong Lin rushed out at the same time!
Heiguo and Chen Shi have been working closely together for many years. When Zhonglin heard Chen Shi say the words "wrong direction", he immediately understood what he was thinking and rushed out immediately.

If the three of them wanted to escape, they would have to flee out of the well, but the way out of the well was blocked by the Golden Immortal Wu Guanyun.

With the strength of the three of them, if they join forces to fight against Wu Guanyun, they will only end up dead.

Therefore, when Zhonglin heard that Chen Shi was going in the wrong direction, he immediately knew that his target was not the road guarded by Wu Guanyun, but the road guarded by General Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian's reaction speed was very fast, but when he raised the sword box, his eyes suddenly became blurry and he saw many illusions. Although he stabilized his mind immediately, he had already lost the initiative!
Chen Shi's sword energy was surging and the moment he jumped up, the Hunyuan sword energy had already pierced through his body!

"Chucky!"

There were more than a dozen bloody holes on Zhang Xian's body. He tried hard to suppress the injuries. Then he saw Zhong Lin flicking his fingers three times in a row. His soul was hit hard. He spurted blood and flew backwards. With a bang, he hit the wall of the well and became a disabled person.

He was in the True Immortal Realm, and had reached the third level of the Heavenly Dao Realm, the Qingming Hetong Heavenly Dao Realm, and his cultivation strength was even higher than that of Yin Fenglou. However, facing the combined efforts of Chen Shi, Hei Guo, and Zhong Lin, he was defeated in one encounter and had no power to resist.

Chen Shi, Hei Guo and Zhong Lin faced the sword formation of thousands of heavenly soldiers, but this time without Hei Guo's control, their sword formation was crooked and disordered, no longer with the same stern and murderous aura as before.

Two men and a dog broke into the formation. Hei Guo raised the Zhangtian Iron Ruler, stood up, and waved the extremely heavy black iron rod. His whole body was covered with black light. As the iron ruler waved, lightning flashed, and the power surged, knocking away one immortal after another!

Chen Shi and Zhong Lin drove straight in. Zhong Lin led the way, knocking down the heavenly soldiers along the way and blocking most of the attacks for Chen Shi. He shouted, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I leave it to you!"

Chen Shi broke out of the formation and headed straight for the three-legged cauldron that was suppressing and refining the great demon.

His mind moved, and the sword light suddenly appeared. The sword energy was as cold as the north wind, carrying a chilling murderous intent, and went straight to the chain that locked the three-legged cauldron!

His heart was as clear as a mirror, and he had long realized that he could not escape. The only chance of survival was to release another great demon!
The power of the big demon is so terrifying that everyone present will be buried in the Demon Refining Well. However, there is also a glimmer of hope. That is, when the big demon escapes from the Sanqing Demon Refining Cauldron, Chen Shi and the others jump into the cauldron!
His heart was at peace, and he brought the power of Feng Hou Canci's move to its fullest. With a clang, the chain was cut off by his sword!
Just as he cut the chain, Chen Shi felt an extremely terrifying pressure coming, and without thinking, he drew his sword to meet it!

A stream of Hunyuan sword energy flew out from his sword case, and simultaneously with this sword he performed the third move of the Hunyuan Sword Sutra, the Lili Qingyan.

The blue flames are endless and the ashes are endless.

When performing this move, Chen Shi mobilized thirty-six sword energies at the same time, which was the most powerful attack he could make!
Above is the sword energy like the green flame of Lihuo, and below is the endless ashes of catastrophe. The sword intent of this move is taken from the feelings of the master of the sword scripture when he faced the catastrophe for the first time!
When Chen Shi performed this move, a scene of the green flame of Lihuo suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, covering the sky and the sun, with countless immortals turning into ashes in the fire. It was also the imprint of the Heavenly Dao contained in the Tianji Ce, which made him comprehend the move of Lihuo Green Flame thoroughly in this instant!

The power of the sword suddenly increased, and it met the attacking Wu Guanyun!
Wu Guanyun also performed the Hunyuan Sword Sutra, the first move was Earthly Greeting.

The different sword moves in the Hunyuan Sword Sutra contain different Taoist ideas. The further you go in the text, the more profound the Taoist ideas contained become, and the more difficult it is to practice.

Wu Guanyun has been immersed in it for so long that he has the most thorough understanding of the first move. He once went to the mortal world and sat in the vast wilderness, waiting for the arrival of spring, the melting of ice and snow, and the earth's air to radiate the chill from deep within the earth.

He sat for dozens of years and gained a thorough understanding of the earth's energy and warmth. He sat for another few decades and comprehended the principle of life and death in the sky.

In order to comprehend this move, he meditated for a hundred years.

He attacked from behind with deliberate action. Chen Shi hurriedly met the battle and swung his sword backhand, unprepared. But when the two sword moves encountered each other, the earth's energy, life and death, and coldness collided with the fire, green flame, and ash. Only a hissing sound was heard, and Wu Guanyun's eyes, throat, heart, xiphoid process, Tanzhong, Guanyuan, lower pubic region, both kidneys, wrists, and ankles were all pierced by the sword!
But his cultivation was so powerful that the sword energy was blocked as soon as it pierced his skin!

Wu Guanyun's face darkened and he looked up, only to see Chen Shi's body flipped up and spun in his sword energy, his clothes fluttering, and he landed on a cauldron.

"Shh!"

Sword Qi flew back and landed behind him.

Wu Guanyun exhaled a breath of foul air. In terms of his understanding of the Hunyuan Sword Sutra and the Hunyuan Taoist Sutra, he had been completely defeated.
