Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and his icy tone rang out: "Hmph, Sword Saint, huh! I will find him sooner or later. If you don't want to die, you'd better find a way to push me back one step. Otherwise, even if the Sword Saint himself comes, he will not be able to save you."

As for running away, I advise you not to do so; my speed is far beyond your reach.

The two men were startled upon hearing this, realizing that this man was unyielding and would not listen to either soft or hard tactics. They had no choice but to do as he suggested, otherwise no amount of pleading would be of any use.

Rumble!

The three clashed on the field, their fierce energy expanding to ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), causing the surrounding vegetation to tilt and bend.

Chapter 56 The Uncrying Death God

Dugu Ming and Shi Wuzun used all their strength, and unknowingly, they used both the Dragon Subduing Kick and the Tathagata Palm.

After a long pause, Li Xiuyuan looked at the two panting men and said coldly, "It seems you can't force me to back down. Very well, let me send you back!"

As he spoke, he used the "Welcoming Buddha to the Western Paradise" technique from the Tathagata Palm. He raised his palm to meet the Buddha, his palm posture upright and majestic, his palm force powerful and vigorous.

With a deafening boom, a giant golden hand slammed down, sending the two people flying without any resistance, truly to the Western Paradise.

By this time, Li Xiuyuan had already memorized the Dragon Subduing Kick and the Tathagata Palm by observing the martial arts of the two people, and he also understood the various methods of channeling energy.

The Dragon Subduing Divine Leg technique greatly aided Li Xiuyuan's Dragon Subduing Palm technique. He had a deep-seated feeling that this martial art was extremely important to him.

As for the Tathagata Palm, if Li Xiuyuan were to unleash it using the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra, its power would be more than ten times greater than that of the Martial Venerable Shi, resulting in considerable gains overall.

After Dugu Ming and Shi Wuzun were killed, Li Xiuyuan took two steps forward and looked at Bu Jingyun on the ground. He was chained and covered in blood.

laugh!

Li Xiuyuan pointed his finger, and the sword energy broke Bu Jingyun's iron chains. He placed his right palm on the other's back, feeling the sword intent on his body.

This is an unparalleled sword intent that seems capable of piercing the heavens and annihilating the earth, extinguishing all life!

Bu Jingyun's entire body was sealed by this sword intent, which is why he couldn't move. When Li Xiuyuan tried to forcefully break the seal, the sword intent immediately backfired on him.

As if a thousand arrows were being fired at the strongest armor, after a series of clanging and ear-piercing sounds, countless blood swords turned into blood mist that could not be broken into pieces, spreading all around.

Unfortunately, even if the Sword Saint himself came, Li Xiuyuan would not be afraid, let alone the sword intent he left behind.

Li Xiuyuan admitted in his heart that the Sword Saint's sword intent was astonishing. Even his own Fifteen Deadly Swords were not confident that they could rival it. It should be noted that at this time, the Sword Saint had not yet comprehended the twenty-third move of the Victorious Spirit Sword Technique.

However, Li Xiuyuan will soon master another sword technique, and it remains to be seen who will prevail.

Bu Jingyun opened his eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

He was extremely surprised. The martial arts skills of the person in front of him were so high that they were rare in the world. Who was this person?

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "I am the Demon Lord Wutian!"

As he spoke, he activated the Supreme Heavenly Demon True Scripture to heal Bu Jingyun's injuries.

Bu Jingyun said coldly, "Why did you save me?"

His nickname is "The Uncrying Death God," simply because he was born with frigidity.

Bu Jingyun was born in Bujia Village, Hangzhou. Because of his quiet nature, his father, Bu Yuanting, was a swordsmith who died in another place.

His mother, Yu Nong, remarried into the Huo family. Huo Butian renamed him Huo Jingjue and treated him as his own son, teaching him all the Huo family's sword techniques.

Later, the entire Huo family was wiped out. By chance, Bu Jingyun became Xiong Ba's second disciple, but secretly he wanted to take revenge.

Seeing Bu Jingyun's cold tone, Li Xiuyuan didn't take it to heart. After all, Bu Jingyun was the God of Death who never cried. Even in front of his closest people, he wouldn't show much emotion, let alone himself!

Li Xiuyuan said, "I founded the Demonic Sect and saw that you are a promising talent. I would like to invite you to join the Demonic Sect. What do you think?"

Then she explained why she had saved him.

Upon hearing this, Bu Jingyun coldly replied, "Hmph, the Demonic Sect, I am unwilling to join."

He joined the World Society for revenge, and now it would be extremely difficult to get him to join another sect. Moreover, Bu Jingyun is not one to be at the beck and call of others.

Li Xiuyuan was not surprised at all upon hearing this. He had no intention of letting Bu Jingyun submit so easily. After all, saving a life was one thing, but making someone submit to you was another.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Very well! If you are unwilling to join my Demonic Sect, I will not force you, but you shall repay the life-saving grace with your famous Cloud-Dispelling Palm technique!"

At this moment, the only thing on Bu Jingyun that could interest Li Xiuyuan was the Cloud-Dispelling Palm Technique.

Upon hearing this, Bu Jingyun replied, "Alright!"

He immediately recited the secret formula of the Cloud-Dispelling Palm technique. This palm technique contains the meaning of the ever-changing nature of clouds, with its moves being unpredictable and difficult to grasp, yet possessing tremendous power.

This palm technique has twelve forms, but Bu Jingyun only has ten. Li Xiuyuan knew that this was a backup plan left by Xiong Ba for his three disciples.

After a while, Bu Jingyun recited the Cloud-Dispelling Palm technique. Although Xiong Ba forbade him from passing on this martial art, and even forbade his fellow disciples from exchanging it, Bu Jingyun would never be loyal to him. Moreover, seeing that this person's martial arts were not weak, he was not someone he could contend with.

Most importantly, Li Xiuyuan once saved Bu Jingyun's life, so let's use this martial art to repay that debt of gratitude!

After memorizing the Cloud-Dispelling Palm technique, Li Xiuyuan looked at Bu Jingyun lying on the ground and said, "If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to me. As long as you pay a sufficient price, I can help you complete it."

In the original novel, Kong Ci's death is probably not far off. When she suffers a blow from Bu Jingyun, she will surely be filled with despair. Making a promise now is to let Bu Jingyun know her abilities.

There will always be a day when Bu Jingyun comes to him for help. Li Xiuyuan is not afraid that the other party will not come to him. When he brings Kong Ci over, he will have a way to get him to join the Demonic Sect.

Even if Bu Jingyun didn't consider his own feelings, he would do anything for Kong Ci's sake, even if it meant falling into the demonic path!

After saying these words, Li Xiuyuan's body soared into the air and flew towards Lingyun Cave.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan leave, Bu Jingyun snorted inwardly. If possible, he would never seek him out again. This person was simply too terrifying; even Xiong Ba couldn't compare!

Their ability to fly alone is terrifying in the world of Fengyun. However, having even a divine beast like the Fire Qilin shows they're not as ignorant as the people of the Tang Dynasty!

After Li Xiuyuan leaped away, he headed towards Lingyun Cave. As the saying goes: "The water submerged the Buddha's knees, and the fire burned Lingyun Cave!"

Chapter 57 Lingyun Cave

Whenever the river rises to the foot of the Leshan Giant Buddha, the Fire Qilin will come out to roam, even though the river is still far below the water level!

When Li Xiuyuan flew to the foot of the Buddha, a dark cave appeared directly in front of him. The cave was three zhang high and five zhang wide, and it seemed to be a bottomless abyss, completely dark.

Li Xiuyuan knew that the entrances to Lingyun Cave were intricate and intertwined, traversing most of the Fengyun Earth Vein. For example, Yu Yue had injured the Fire Qilin and obtained the Qilin Arm. As for other places, there were also multiple exits.

Li Xiuyuan was highly skilled and daring, capable of even subduing a demonic dragon, so he naturally had no fear of the fire qilin here. He entered the Lingyun Cave, exploring its mysteries.

Li Xiuyuan summoned the Demon Dragon from his Spirit Control Token. It was nearly four zhang long, covered with green scales, with a long tail, powerful limbs, and a pair of huge emerald green eyes.

Although the dragon was enormous, the cave was so spacious that it could easily accommodate it.

The Lingyun Cave is like a vast underground palace, stretching for thousands of miles. The entrance to the Lingyun Cave next to the Leshan Giant Buddha is just one of countless entrances and exits to this mysterious underground palace. There are other passages leading into this place within this continuous mountain range.

Some may be located on the summit of a high mountain, some at the bottom of the deep sea, some at the foot of a cliff, some in a dense forest of thorns and brambles, and some may even lead directly to an underground river or underground lava. The variety is endless.

The Lingyun Cave was pitch black, with a complex network of tunnels leading to one another, and countless side passages and caves. The entire underground palace was strangely covered with vines, roots, and moss.

Everywhere was rugged and barren, and countless snakes, rats and poisonous insects bred everywhere. Fortunately, the demonic dragon was here, emitting a strong aura of a ferocious beast, which kept ordinary poisonous creatures away.

In this treacherous and eerie place, coupled with various related legends of ferocious beasts, the locals naturally regard it as a forbidden zone of hell. They avoid even approaching the entrance, let alone going deep into it.

In half a day, Li Xiuyuan drove the demonic dragon deep into the earth, covering dozens of miles. Suddenly, his gaze turned and he saw some strange fruits, as red as blood, growing among a patch of vines.

what!

Li Xiuyuan was startled. Anyone who came to Lingyun Cave and saw this bright red strange fruit would probably think of the Blood Bodhi!

Blood Bodhi, according to legend, is a rare and extraordinary fruit that grows from the blood of a Fire Qilin, originally found in extremely hot lands. Since Blood Bodhi is here, then the Fire Qilin cannot be far away.

However, after seeing these strange fruits, Li Xiuyuan did not continue walking. The healing effects of the Blood Bodhi were well known, and it could also be used as medicine.

Since Li Xiuyuan had come across it, he would never miss the opportunity. He immediately reached out and picked the Blood Bodhi, carefully put it in a jade box, and stored it in the system space.

There aren't many Blood Bodhi stones here, as they are made from the blood of the Fire Qilin. However, few people in the game can injure it, especially in the early stages.

After a long while, Li Xiuyuan finally finished picking. He stared ahead and continued on his way. After the demonic dragon he was riding had gone several dozen feet, it suddenly roared in a low voice.

After recognizing Li Xiuyuan as its master, the demonic dragon was already in perfect harmony with him and asked, "Are you saying there are powerful beasts ahead and I should be careful?"

Upon hearing its master's words, the dragon nodded quickly. As a ferocious beast, it had the most sensitive senses and could naturally sense the dangerous aura ahead.

Seeing the Demon Dragon's expression, Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, with me here, the Fire Qilin can't cause any trouble. Let's continue!"

As he spoke, he beckoned the dragon to continue its journey deeper into the earth.

Despite its enormous size, the dragon was actually quite fast. Its strides were large, each step covering about ten feet. After a while, Li Xiuyuan felt the air getting hotter and hotter, and the surrounding cliffs were turning a bright red.

Ordinary people would probably find it difficult to withstand even the heat if they entered such a place, but one of them is a master at the Golden Core stage, and the other is a demonic dragon with thick skin and flesh, so they are naturally not afraid!

Roar!

Suddenly, a furious roar came from afar. It was the voice of the Fire Qilin. Every powerful beast has its own territory, and the sudden entry of this demonic dragon naturally aroused its strong dissatisfaction.

Roar!

Not to be outdone, the demonic dragon beneath Li Xiuyuan roared as well, seemingly taunting its opponent, and charged forward with its massive body.

Then a lava field came into view, the area below was bright red, and heat was constantly emanating from it, with even fire bubbles shooting high into the air.

Gulu!

Suddenly the magma trembled, and a strange beast with a head and body blazing with fire rushed out. It had the head of a dragon, antlers of a deer, eyes of a lion, back of a tiger, waist of a bear, scales of a snake, hooves of a horse, and tail of an ox.

This fiery Qilin, resembling a mythical creature, had piercing eyes, bared its teeth and claws, and drooled as if it wanted to devour and burn everything in the world to ashes.

Roar!

The fire qilin roared again, raising its front claws as if to pounce forward. This sudden appearance of a human and a beast startled it from its slumber. If it hadn't seen the demonic dragon's enormous size and how difficult it was to deal with, it would have already pounced forward.

Roar!

Upon seeing the Fire Qilin appear, the Demon Dragon naturally wouldn't retreat. It wasn't willing to lose face in front of its master and bared its fangs and claws, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.
