I Can’t Be a Sword God

ghost city.

Once upon a time, it was a term that was spread all over Heluo.

When young people walk on deserted roads in the middle of the night, the old man will warn them to be careful not to crash into the ghost market.

There is a market for people, and a market for ghosts. Although the ghost market is not full of ghosts, it is also dominated by shady evil spirits, but a small number of cultivators of heretics are not excluded.

Under the cover of night, they carried out some evil transactions, which were once very rampant. Especially when the world is in chaos, the ghost market can even directly sell living people.

Later, Heluo Dingding took a hundred years to stabilize the regime, and since then it has started to fight against evil. Existences like Demon Gate and Ghost City are the key targets.

After hundreds of years of brutal suppression, these two words are no longer heard anywhere outside Tiannan Prefecture.

Many Heluo people no longer know what it is.

But Tiannan State is different.

Although the laws of Heluo do not allow the existence of ghost markets, under the rule of the Tiannan Seven Families, they are allowed. Even every ghost market here is backed by the participation of Tiannan Qijia.

The Chaotian Tower here exists in name only, and it is not enough to suppress it.

If it wasn't for the introduction by the spider spirit, Li Chu and the others would not have known that there was such an ancient underground illegal trading place in southern Xinjiang.

It can be seen how separated Tiannan Prefecture is from other places in the Heluo Dynasty.

It's not that difficult for Li Chu and the others to sneak into the ghost market.

The reason is very simple. It is impossible for an underground place with this kind of composition to have too strict identity checks. Otherwise, few people would dare to come.

As long as there is no trouble inside, even a mortal can go in and have a walk.

But it's not without risks.

It is said that entering and exiting the ghost city has to go through a long "ghost gate". Once a problem is found in the ghost gate, it will be erased directly.

It is said that some immortal disciples once wanted to sneak into the ghost market, but disappeared directly in the ghost gate, without seeing people alive or dead.

...

"When there are flowers on the shore of the mountain, if you meet white flowers, you will go."

Wang Longqi chanted the guiding formula told by the spider spirit, and looked for the way under the barren mountain.

Many formations or secret realms have different appearances at different times. A little smaller is like the cave of the spider spirit. Whenever the sun rises in the water, it will change from a gorgeous attic to a cave of coils.

And somewhere at the foot of this barren mountain, the road to the ghost market will only appear when the moonlight rises.

"Ah, it must be here!"

Turning around the corner of the mountain, there is a quietly flowing mountain stream in front of you, and in the middle of the mountain wall and the bank of the stream, there is a quiet flower bush.

In such a remote place, the extremely rare moonflower is actually planted. That is, under the sunlight and under the moonlight, there are two completely different colors.

At this time, under the moonlight, the color of this flower bush has changed, most of it has turned light yellow, and a small part has turned pure white.

As for the pure white part, it happens to be paved in two straight lines, vaguely like a road sandwiched between them.

"Go and have a look."

The path was narrow, and Li Chu walked in the front.

The three of them were all wearing large black robes, with black hoods covering their faces, which were the standard equipment for entering the ghost market.

And Duranke's black face is particularly frightening at this time. If he doesn't smile, it looks like a cloak is floating in the past. Of course, if you smile, your teeth are floating.

In the moonlight, the pure white flowers, and three figures in black robes walked slowly, and there was a thick blackness in front of them.

...

In the darkness, there is a lingering thick fog.

In the dense fog stood a terrifying existence with eyes like awns.

"These three people... something is wrong."

The sound of existence sounded like thunder, and the surrounding thick fog rolled like boiling.

"Master Tongyou, are you talking about these three people?"

There was a small black figure below, using its paws to push through the thick fog, revealing the shadows of Li Chu and the others.

"That's right." The terrifying voice sounded again, "Delete them."

Cold and heartless.

It's like talking about killing three ants.

"yes."

Other small voices responded.

...

Walking and walking, Li Chu keenly found that everything around him seemed to be distorted.

The space seems to have undergone strange changes, and the wind, water, and air are gradually becoming different.

This kind of change is very slow, if it was before, he might not be able to notice it. But after entering the secret realm a few times, he was already familiar with this feeling.

This is the twisted feeling before entering the secret realm.

It turns out that the ghost market was actually established in a secret place?

He could see those white Yingyue flowers still in front of him, but he could also clearly feel that he seemed far away from them. Although it is close in front of my eyes, I can't touch it with my hand.

Is the so-called ghost gate the passage of space before entering the secret realm?

He opened his eyes, and although he could cover the farthest distance, it seemed that there was nothing, and he was somewhere beyond heaven and earth.

Whoosh—

Just as he was about to retract his mind, suddenly, a breath flashed past.

Um?

Li Chu suddenly became alert.

He said softly to the two behind him, "It's weird, be careful."

At the same time, he followed the breath with his mind, and it was getting closer and closer.

He opened his eyes to see, but couldn't see anything, but felt it in his heart.

This experience is somewhat similar to Invisible Charm.

When this happens, the superiority of the mind's eyes over the mind's consciousness can be demonstrated.

Just when the breath was less than five feet away from the three of them, Li Chu felt that he had entered a dangerous distance.

So he glanced over and asked, "What do you want to do?"

This sound startled both Wang Longqi and Lao Du.

Of course, they are not the ones most afraid of.

When an invisible ghost quietly approaches a person...

Suddenly he raised his head and said loudly that I saw you.

The ghost will not be less frightened than the person after it succeeds.

That breath was like this, and when Li Chu asked him so calmly, he suddenly became confused.

But after the chaos, it made the worst choice.

It rushed towards Li Chu.

At the moment of jumping, his figure was briefly revealed.

Seems like some kind of large insect, praying mantis or something? There are a few thin wings on the back, with a sharp blade in his body.

An assassin who walks in the void.

Since its attitude is so unfriendly, it is naturally impossible for Li Chu to be polite.

He quickly drew out the Chunyang Sword.

Because it was outside the ghost city, he was very worried that making too much noise would startle the snake. If the opening of the ghost market is disrupted and the things you want to find are taken away, that would be bad.

So he used one of his latest supernatural powers.

Cheats!

One-eighth trace of spiritual power sword!

That's right.

After studying hard recently, Li Chu has finally refined a trace of spiritual power from one quarter to one eighth.

In this way, the power of the weakest sword can be reduced by half again.

This is a milestone progress.

Li Chu is very proud of this, because this is the result of his exploration after overcoming many difficulties.

Don't think it's easy to weaken yourself.

Whether it is a small cultivator in the Qi Sea Realm or an Earth Immortal in the Tongtian Realm, it is easy to extract a trace of your own true energy. If you ask him to refine it, few people can do it.

This is a topic that most people ignore.

In other words, this is Li Chu's own unique skill.

"Roar--"

Swinging out a sword with one-eighth of a trace of spiritual power, the red dragon is still unmatched.

There is no way, although the spiritual power has been subdivided, but he has also upgraded compared to before, the foundation is there.

boom--

The red dragon swept past, and the assassin naturally disappeared.

But the fragile space wall behind also trembled for a while.

This is the lightest sword that Li Chu can do, and it is almost beyond the tolerance of the overlapping part of this space...

Seeing the ripples, Li Chu was really worried for a while.

Thankfully it held up in the end.

The little Taoist patted his chest lightly.

Fortunately, one-eighth of the spiritual power sword was used. It seems that if it is a quarter of the spiritual power sword, it may break the wall of this space.

In that case, the people in the ghost city will definitely be alarmed.

...

In the dark fog.

The terrorist existence remained silent for a long time.

a long time.

Only then did he say in a hesitant voice: "Master Tongyou, those three people who are wrong... have already passed through the gate of hell."

"Huh?" The cold voice suddenly asked, "Is there anything wrong with it?"

"It's not Master Tongyou, you just said that there are three people who are wrong, and you want to kill them."

"Oh, I don't feel right about those people at first glance..."

The thunderous voice immediately covered all doubting voices.

"But take a closer look..."

"It feels right again."
