Chapter 28 Two Choices

Among the purple and green swords, "Qingyun" is more inclined to attack, while "Zixia" is more inclined to magical powers. As for what kind of magical power, it is naturally the thunder method that the Zhang family is best at.

Zhang Yuelu has now learned the "Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Righteous Method" and has reached the stage of infinite cultivation. Naturally, she will not encounter an accident like Qi Xuansu. After holding "Zixia", she can immediately operate as she wishes.

Then she used the "Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Righteous Method" to activate "Zixia", and saw purple air permeating above her head. Even Himiko's divine domain could not affect it. There were purple thunders wandering in the purple air.

This is why the Heavenly Master did not give "Qingyun" to Zhang Yuelu. After all, Qi Xuansu did not know the "Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Righteous Method". Holding "Qingyun" at least had the advantage of a sword. If he really took "Zixia", even this advantage would be gone.

Zhang Yuelu raised his sword to the sky, and the purple cloud immediately began to rotate in a spiral shape, with electric snakes wandering in it and thunder roaring.

The thunder was so intense, like rapid drumbeats, that the witch felt her blood surging in her body. Not only did her chest feel stuffy, her heart beat so hard, and she even wanted to spit out blood. If the Taoist's Yin spirit left his body, he would be shaken to pieces if his realm was not as good as Zhang Yuelu's. Zhang Yuelu himself was not affected at all. Instead, the thunder gods in the 36 acupoints in his body resonated and responded to the thunder in a mysterious way.

The next moment, a dazzling purple thunder appeared in the thundercloud that was drooping like a tornado, instantly illuminating the entire "Yinglong". The witch, who was the first to bear the brunt, felt that there was only endless purple light in front of her eyes, and she was blinded for a moment.

The thunder did not rush to fall, but locked onto the witch to prevent her from escaping with the "Secret Sword Flying Swallow" again.

The shrine maiden knew that she was in the most dangerous situation. If she was not careful, she would be burned to ashes by the thunderbolt attracted by the female Taoist priest. However, she was not panicked. She immediately opened her "heart's eye" to sense everything around her, then put away the "Kikuichimonji no Norimune" and took out another famous sword.

This sword is called "Raikiri". It was originally a famous sword of the Tachibana family, and its original name was "Chidori". It is said that a certain head of the Tachibana family once used this sword to cut off lightning, so the name of the famous sword "Raikiri" also came from this.

Later, the Tachibana family fell into decline, and this sword fell into the hands of the royal family.

The shrine maiden took out this sword to imitate the head of the Tachibana family, who was known as the "God of Thunder", and cut off the thunderbolt with one sword.

The next moment, the purple thunderbolt that completely locked the shrine maiden fell from the sky, leaving the shrine maiden no way to avoid it.

The shrine maiden closed her eyes and jumped up with the sword in both hands. She swung the sword upstream and split the purple thunderbolt that was originally like a vertical line in two, turning it into a "human" shape.

"Raikiri" is indeed worthy of its name, and it is indeed useful in restraining thunder magic.

However, the witch soon realized that something was wrong. At the beginning, she was indeed unstoppable and very smooth, but the further she went, the closer she got to the thundercloud, and the more difficult it was to move forward. The purple thunder continued, and the thundercloud still showed no trend of fading or thinning.

The first effort was strong, the second was weak, and the third was exhausted.

The witch failed to completely penetrate the sky thunder and gradually turned into a decline. Not to mention going further, she was pushed back.

After the thundercloud formed, Zhang Yuelu no longer raised her sword to the sky. Taking advantage of the accumulation of thunderclouds in the air at this time, she used the "Purple Cloud" in her hand to attract the sky thunder, attached it to the sword body, and swung the sword to chop it out. The lightning and sword energy gathered together and broke through the air, like a comet streaking through the sky, heading straight for the witch.

At this time, the witch was divided into two. One witch was still holding "Raikiri" to fight against the purple thunder. The other witch was holding "Kikuichimonji no Morimune" and performing sword skills to resist Zhang Yuelu's sword.

In the concept of Tianmen, there are also three realms of heaven, earth and man. The heavenly world is where the kingdom of Himiko manifests, the underground world is called Huangquan Kingdom, and the human world is called Awahara Kingdom, which just corresponds to the three main gods.

Awahara Kingdom is actually Fenglinzhou. In other words, Fenglinzhou is actually the name of Awahara Kingdom by Zhongyuan. Later, Zhongyuan occupied a dominant position and had absolute discourse power. Over time, the people of Awahara Kingdom also called themselves Fenglinzhou.

The shrine maiden holding "Kikuichimonjitsu" used the sword technique inherited from Huangquan Kingdom at this time. When the long sword was swung, large patches of yellow clouds were generated, in which the yin, resentment and death continued, covering the figure of the shrine maiden.

When the thunder and lightning first entered it, it was naturally devastating, tearing the yellow clouds apart like cloth. However, Zhang Yuelu soon encountered the dilemma of the shrine maiden. If she could not penetrate with one sword, she would fall into a situation of lack of successors.

For a while, the two of them were in a stalemate.

This shrine maiden is of great status. Her father was the previous emperor of Fenglinzhou, and her mother was from the Fujiwara clan of the Rokusekkan family. After becoming a nun, she was honored as Kangyoin Kakuei.

She was honored as Princess Tamako of Jixiang Palace.

Because she was a posthumous child, she was raised in her maternal grandfather's home when she was young. Her maternal grandfather was good friends with the swordsman Katsura Zenko, so she was able to learn the Higan Shingan Ryu swordsmanship from Katsura Zenko. Later, she entered the Ise Shrine and learned the Tenmon witchcraft from Saiou. According to the standards of the Taoist sect, she entered the Wuliang stage at the age of 30. Although she is still at the Ming stage now, she is already regarded as a candidate for the next Saiou.

If Tianmen is regarded as an equal opponent to the Taoist sect, then her status is not inferior to Zhang Yuelu.

If it were in other places, in a fair fight, Zhang Yuelu should have won after inviting "Zixia". However, at this time, due to the influence of Himiko's divine domain, Zhang Yuelu was weakened and Jixiang Palace was strengthened. With this increase and decrease, Zhang Yuelu could not take down Jixiang Palace for a while.

As for why the Ise Shrine was willing to let Jixiang Gong personally carry out the assassination, it was probably because they felt that with the descent of Himiko, they had already secured victory.

On the other side, Qi Xuansu, Li Changge, and Li Tiangang had to face Himiko's human incarnation.

Although this Himiko was only a human incarnation, similar to the incarnation of an ancient immortal, and could only exert the realm of a pseudo-immortal at most, after unfolding the divine domain, she was the master of the divine domain and could modify the rules of the divine domain at will.

Qi Xuansu clearly felt that he could not absorb any vitality from the outside world. Instead, the red sun behind Himiko became brighter and brighter, and the momentum became stronger and stronger. The rolling heat waves rushed towards him, as if he was about to produce the true fire of the sun.

Even the celestial beings in the infinite stage would become water without source and wood without root in this situation, and would be severely suppressed. Only the stage of creation could resist this suppression.

For example, the Hedao realm of the Qi Refiner is in harmony with the world here, that is, the internal small world and the external large world reach resonance, so as to offset some of the influence of the divine domain. Every bit of it is worth it, but Li Tiangang is not a pseudo-immortal, so he cannot resist it completely.

Li Changge protected his whole body with the yin and yang energy of the "Mingguan" and suddenly said: "Li Cixi."

"Young Master." Li Tiangang responded.

Li Changge said slowly: "You are the person with the highest position among the five of us, and you are also the one who knows Fenglinzhou best and has the most experience. I hope you can make a judgment on the current situation, and I can provide you with an option."

"I have a 'Qiankun Moving Talisman' written by the national teacher. The immortal's magical power is enough to break the gap between yin and yang and the confinement of the divine domain, ensuring that the five of us leave here safely, but we have to abandon 'Yinglong', the four hundred spiritual officials on the ship, and the target of this trip, Toyotomi Hideshige. After returning to the camp, the five of us will meet the real person in charge of the army to receive punishment, or be dismissed on the spot, or demoted and retained, leaving a stain for life."

Li Tiangang frowned.

This decision is really hard to make.

The world is big, and life is the most important. This is true. After all, if you keep the green mountains, you will not worry about having no firewood. However, this move is tantamount to escaping from the battlefield. It is a serious crime within the Taoist sect. Even if the identities of several people are not bad, it will affect their future. It will be difficult to wash away for a lifetime, unless they can make great contributions to expanding the territory in the future.

Fortunately, Himiko did not adapt to the new environment immediately after her arrival, and was still in a sleeping state. The many changes at this time were just her unconscious behavior when she was sleeping.

This is also reasonable. The Luwushen, the gatekeeper of Yujing at that time, had an incredible amount of blood and qi, which could be called the best in the world. If the blood and qi of an ordinary middle-aged man are similar to fireflies, ordinary warriors are like bonfires, celestial warriors are like a big fire, and immortals are like a bright moon, then Luwushen is a scorching sun.

Even if he has no hostility, just approaching him, he will feel the burning sensation coming towards him. It cannot be described as a furnace. It is like being next to a volcano, with hot underground fire constantly gushing out, making people's hair and beard burn and their skin hurt.

Such a strong blood and qi not only contains infinite vitality, but also contains immeasurable majestic power. Ordinary ghosts and spirits will disappear in an instant as long as they get close.

The breath of Luwu God in his sleep can even cause the grass and trees to wither, the earth to crack, the air to distort, and even alienate other weaker wild beasts, causing them to undergo various changes similar to Luwu God. Over time, a tribe that worships Luwu God as its ancestor was born.

Himiko is also in this situation. She just descended, and the divine domain unfolded on its own, and has begun to distort some of the rules of heaven.

Before Himiko woke up, Li Tiangang still had some time to think about the decision.

At this time, Qi Xuansu said: "I can also give Master Li a choice."

Li Tiangang did not dare to underestimate Qi Xuansu, and immediately asked: "What choice?"

Qi Xuansu said: "If I were outside, I would not have such confidence. But in this special situation, I can try to invite a pseudo-immortal Yin creature, which may not be a match for Himiko, but it should be no problem to resist one or two."

Li Tiangang pondered for a moment and asked: "What do you think, young master?"

Li Changge smiled and said: "I prefer Brother Tianyuan's choice. Escaping in the face of a battle is a helpless solution. If there is a way, it is better to try it."

Li Tiangang made up his mind: "Then please ask Deputy Master Qi to take action."

Qi Xuansu put away the "Qingyun", rolled up his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "Please ask Master Li and Brother Yongyan to protect me."

"Of course." Li Tiangang responded.

Qi Xuansu raised his right hand, and the whole arm was wrapped in black air.
