Dragon Soul Heroic Shadow - Chapter 2: Buddha, Tao, and Demonic Body

At the Jiangnan military camp, Qiu Baifei and others received the devastating news of the fall of Hedong. Everyone felt as if struck by lightning, and were filled with shock.
Qiu Baifei, Zhang Huanyu, Jin Ziyi, Yin Fangxi, Bo Xun and others all gathered together.
Di Li, disguised as the military supervisor, said with a gloomy face, "The traitors have already approached the capital. We must quickly return to defend it and lead our troops to the aid of the emperor!"
Qiu Baifei frowned and said, "I did receive the news, but the rebel army seems to be only stationed in Hedong and there is no sign of them attacking Yujing. If we return to the capital now, we may fall into the enemy's trap!"
Di Li raised his voice and said, "General Qiu, the fact that the enemy troops are not moving for the time being does not mean that they will not attack. Does the general intend to wait until the enemy attacks the capital before he will withdraw his troops to provide reinforcements?"
Jin Ziyi said, "Supervisor, the rebels have occupied Hedong. Who wouldn't be anxious? But the way of war is not ordinary. We must think it over again and again."
Qiu Baifei said, "The rebels are stationed in Hedong, but they are holding back their troops. They clearly have other plans! In my opinion, the rebels are not confident in taking Yujing, so they are holding back their troops and waiting for the rebels in Jiangnan to come to their aid. If our army returns to the capital now, it will be tantamount to handing over the thirty-six counties of Jiangnan. If that happens, the rebels here can easily move north, and then Yujing will be in danger!"
Di Li said coldly, "Now that the capital is under attack by the enemy army and is in imminent danger, the commander-in-chief is outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, not thinking of defending the emperor. Could it be that he has ulterior motives?"
Qiu Baifei roared, "Shut up! My loyalty is as clear as day and night. How dare you mere brats slander me! Guards—take him out and execute him!"
Di Li slammed his fist on the table and stood up, taking out the imperial seal and holding it horizontally in front of his chest. He shouted, "I am the Emperor's special envoy. Every action I take is bestowed by the imperial power. Who dares to touch me!"
The token, with its nine dragons facing the sky carved on top, was so imposing that it subdued the soldiers in the tent, who dared not act rashly.
Qiu Baifei's imposing aura subsided, and he dared not move. The atmosphere inside the tent immediately became tense. At this moment, two people stepped into the tent. One was dignified and handsome, and was none other than Ce Huangtu, the Confucian avatar of the evil god. The other had red lips and white teeth, and skin as smooth as jade. She was dressed as a Taoist nun, and her name was unknown.
Seeing his master's clone arrive, Di Li's courage grew even stronger, and he said, "Lord Ce, Qiu Baifei has ulterior motives. Please, sir, uphold justice!"
Everyone in the tent knew that although Ce Huangtu held the official title of civil official in charge of internal affairs, he was a special agent directly under the emperor, even higher than Di Li, who held the seal of military governor. As soon as he entered the tent, a hush fell over the room.
After Ce Huangtu entered, he gave Di Li a cold glance, his gaze sharp and angry, which made Di Li feel a chill in his heart.
Ce Huangtu cupped his hands in greeting to Qiu Baifei and said, "General Qiu, I am right. I have heard everything you said just now, and every word is precious and to the point!"
Qiu Baifei was slightly taken aback and said, "Does Lord Ce agree with my statement?"
Ce Huangtu nodded and said, "The commander-in-chief is a veteran of many battles and is naturally skilled in military strategy and tactics. He is unlikely to be mistaken. Furthermore, the lord is wholeheartedly devoted to protecting the country and is extremely loyal. There is no suspicion of him colluding with the enemy or betraying the country."
Qiu Baifei felt a surge of warmth in his heart and said, word by word, "Thank you for your understanding, Lord Ce!"
Ce Huangtu said, "Now that Hedong has fallen, the rebel army is already eyeing Yujing. I wonder what the two commanders think?"
Zhang and Qiu exchanged a glance, and Zhang Huanyu spoke up: "Brother Qiu and I have discussed it. Although Yang Ye has not invaded Yujing, we still need to take precautions. Therefore, we plan to send some troops back to reinforce the capital, but the main force will remain in Jiangnan to deal with the enemy!"
Ce Huangtu said, "This method is excellent. Although the capital is dangerous, it has a strong foundation, making it difficult for the rebels to succeed. However, if Jiangnan falls, the lifeline of Daheng's grain supply will be affected, and the world will be in chaos!"
Qiu Baifei nodded and said, "What Lord Ce said is very true. I plan to send 80,000 troops back to provide support. The commander has not yet been decided, and we also need a powerful expert to oversee the operation."
Ce Huangtu said, "I am not talented, but I am willing to follow the army back to provide reinforcements."
Qiu Baifei said, "Lord Ce is one of the top experts in our army. If you leave, it will only weaken our fighting strength." Ce Huangtu smiled slightly and walked straight towards Jin Ziyi and Yin Fangxi, bowing to them: "Grand Tutor Yin, Prime Minister Jin, this is a letter entrusted to me by His Majesty to explain the matter of the Confucian Martial Giant God!"
Those inside the tent held their breath. When the Confucian Martial God appeared, Jin Ziyi and Yin Fangxi, as the leaders of the Confucian sect, were completely unaware of it, which was like being slapped in the face. Moreover, the Confucian Martial God was a divine object of the Confucian sect, second only to the Desolate Divine Brush in status. Its unauthorized misappropriation had crossed the line. Therefore, after the Confucian Martial God appeared, the Confucian disciples were reluctant to participate in the battle, expressing their great dissatisfaction.
Ce Huangtu continued, “When Your Majesty was young, you once played in the mortal world and accidentally discovered the traces of the Confucian and Martial God in a valley. At that time, Your Majesty secretly sent people to repair the God. Originally, you intended to rebuild the divine object and then return it to the Confucian school. However, the repair took decades. After the God was restored, a rebellion broke out, and the royal army was at a disadvantage. In your anxiety, Your Majesty used the Confucian and Martial God without authorization, which offended the ancient teachings of Confucianism. You are very apprehensive about this and have written a letter to express your apologies to the two of you.”
This statement was tantamount to an emperor apologizing to his subjects, something unprecedented in history. Although Jin and Yin were dissatisfied with the matter of the Confucian and Martial God, they were secretly taken aback by the sight of such a display.
Faced with this letter, they were unsure whether to accept it or not, as if they were reaching for a potato.
Seeing their somewhat embarrassed expressions, Ce Huangtu immediately pressed his advantage, continuing, "His Majesty also said that with the nation in peril, he urges you two to set aside your prejudices and help our Great Heng turn the tide. When peace returns to the land, His Majesty will issue an edict of self-reproach and apologize to the Confucian sages!"
The two were taken aback. Jin Ziyi pondered for a moment, then laughed and said, "Your Majesty is truly joking. This Confucian Martial Giant God is a divine object of Confucianism. The person currently controlling it is also Senior Brother Cheng's disciple, who is also a Confucian disciple. It is reasonable for a Confucian disciple to control the ancestral master's relic. Where does the claim of offending the ancestral master come from?"
Yin Fangxi also said, "Gao Lingyun is a junior member of the Confucian school. He can control this divine object, which must be due to the protection of his ancestor. Those demons are arrogant and domineering because of a few demonic artifacts. The only solution now is to break the rules and use the power of Confucianism and martial arts to suppress these demons!"
The emperor sent a messenger and even personally apologized, showing great respect to the two. Even if they had any dissatisfaction, they could not express it in public. Cang Shitian had calculated this point, lowered his status, and easily appeased the internal troubles brought by the Confucian and Martial God, allowing the Confucian sect to rejoin the battlefield.
At this moment, a messenger entered and reported, "Reporting, the bandit generals Ling Xiao and Wang Dong have led five thousand troops to challenge us!"
Zhang Huanyu frowned and said, "What an arrogant scoundrel! Which of you here is willing to fight him?"
Qiu Baifei said, "The enemy's choice to challenge us at this time is likely a trap. Brother Zhang, in my humble opinion, our army should continue to hold our positions and ignore them!"
Zhang Huanyu said, "Brother Qiu is right, but if we continue to retreat when the enemy comes to our door, it will weaken our morale. How about this, send out the Confucian Martial Giant God to meet the enemy. Even if the enemy is treacherous, the Confucian Martial Giant God will not be afraid of their conspiracy!"
Ce Huangtu laughed and said, "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? My two commanders, I recommend someone who will surely defeat the enemy army."
Qiu Baifei asked, "Who exactly is it?"
Ce Huangtu spread his hands towards the Taoist nun and said, "This is the Taoist priest Su Yujin. She is highly skilled in martial arts and is a reclusive master from Zixia Tianfeng. I was able to invite her down the mountain because I am on good terms with her."
Su Yuxian nodded slightly to Qiu Baifei as a gesture of respect.
Seeing her beautiful appearance and delicate figure, Qiu Baifei couldn't help but feel a little suspicious and asked, "I wonder what kind of immortal techniques Master Su cultivates? Could you please broaden my horizons?"
Su Yuxian said coldly, "This humble Taoist only cultivates demon-slaying supernatural powers to kill demons and monsters, and does not perform or play tricks!"
With a flick of her sleeve, she turned and stepped out of the tent, leaving behind the words: "If I fail to defeat the enemy within half an hour, I will willingly accept military punishment!"
话音甫落，化作一道霞光飞出军营，原本站立之处弥留着一股淡淡霞气，如烟如幻，甚是出尘飘渺。
仇白飞又惊又奇，暗道：“难不成她已经修炼成仙了？要不然，怎会踏出这般仙霞云气？”
靳紫衣叹道：“这位苏道长足踏之地隐有霞云暗藏，莫非修为已到登仙之境？”
波旬凝视了那股霞气，见其中隐约有道金光，脸色丕变，心中翻起一阵波澜，策皇图见他神色有异，便暗中传音道：“教主若有疑问，便请借一步说话吧！”波旬嗯了一声，寻了个借口跟随着策皇图走出营帐。
策皇图低声笑道：“以教主慧眼，想必也看出一些端倪了吧！”
波旬点了点头道：“那位苏道长想必便是圣母娘娘吧。”
策皇图点头笑道：“然也！”
波旬道：“圣母全身上下都透着道门仙人的风范，简直就是换了一个人，若非老衲与圣母相识，恐怕也认不出来哩！皇上隐匿改变气质的手段当真举世无双也，老衲佩服之极！”
策皇图道：“非朕刻意伪装，而这才是她本来面目！”
波旬又问道：“老衲观娘娘的仙霞之中似乎暗藏佛光，这又是何故？”
策皇图道：“逆贼势大，我军战事不利，朕无奈之下唯有解开内子最后封印，释放佛道魔身！”
听闻此言，波旬脸色瞬息大变，身子也一阵颤抖。
策皇图苦笑道：“教主乃大智慧之辈，所做一切皆为打破旧的束缚，开创佛门新象，难道还纠结于过去之事吗？”
波旬长叹一声，说道：“皇上所言甚是，往事如烟也，枉吾还自诩万教之佛，竟参不透这往日执念，真是惭愧也！”
这佛道双元身牵扯出一段三教秘辛，就在四十年前，佛道两门出了两个奇才，两人傲视群雄，以弱冠之年修成菩提金身和混元道胎道，而且竟为女子之身，引得各方叹服，两人也惺惺相惜，相互验证武道，约战数次，之后共同隐居山林，合力谱写佛道武典。
三年过后，与她们交好的弟子前去探望，却发觉两人的居所内竟出多了一个女婴，原本还以为是他们收养的弃婴，但却惊讶地发现这女婴身上竟有含有先天佛道真元，在佛道虽早已合流，身兼数家绝学也不乏其人，但都要修心养性，经历各种历练凝气化元，成就正果，像这样具备精纯的佛道真元婴孩着实叫人费解，此事引来了佛道教主，两大教主联手探究，竟发觉女婴体内还有一股魔气，但这魔气却完美地将佛道真元连接起来，佛道真元就像是轮子，而魔气则是车轴，三者竟融合得毫无破绽。
在两大教主的逼问下，两人总算说出实情，她们曾邂逅了上一任魔尊，也就是端木睺的父亲，本该正邪对立的双方竟神使鬼差地走到了一起，佛道两大女先天竟是同伺一夫，三人在结合之后，元功互通，佛道魔三家真元便传入了下一代，因为女婴是由道门女子生下，所以则表现出道霞之气，佛魔真元则隐在背后。
原本出家人若动了私情凡心大不了还俗便是，但对象却是魔界之主，佛道教尊勃然大怒，视之为教门大辱，不由分说便对二女处以极刑，更这女婴更是荒谬之极的存在，岂容她活命。
这件事乃是佛道最高机密，亦是不能外传的丑闻，知情者少之又少，当年的识尊者便是为数不多的知情者，波旬道：“那女婴居然还活着？”
策皇图笑道：“呵呵，当年佛道双娇可是轰动天下，先父怎会不理不问，立即派出教中精锐密切监视两人动向，得知她们为端木老魔产下一女后，便有了桃代李僵之计！”
波旬明白过来，冷笑道：“原来如此，太上皇筹谋深沉，皇上布局久远，一者夺来佛道魔身的女婴，一者启动消失万年的儒武，佛道儒三教还自称万教至尊，被人耍了十几年却还不知情，真是可笑！”
策皇图说道：“那只不过是旧三教，朕相信以教主神通大能，必可废旧纳新，推翻腐朽的旧教义，重立教门盛世！”
波旬道：“佛道魔身自出世以来便销声匿迹，也不知是何等威能。”
策皇图道：“教主疑惑，内子很快便会解答！”
两人嘿嘿一笑，一切尽在不言中。
话说凌霄、王栋领军前来叫阵挑战，军马以雷火二部、陌刀骑为核心，整齐列阵，军威赫赫，只见王栋指着敌营叫道：“窃国逆贼，还不速速出营受死！”
王栋作战勇猛，早已威慑朝廷众军，如今见他前来挑战，守营之人竟无一敢应战。
眼见无人迎战，王栋不禁嘲笑道：“什么号称百万雄狮，依我看来，不过无胆匪类，偌大军营竟无一人敢出战！”
“无知逆贼，胆敢轻蔑朝廷王师，该死也！”
一声娇喝，现场顿时刮起狂猛大风，吹得龙麟军众人几乎站立不稳，连军旗也被折断。
凌霄武感敏锐，立即知道有高手袭击，当即拍马上前去支援，然而却是慢了一步。
那边王栋还未看清敌人，便感到一股锐风铺面，割肉生痛，本能之下舞动双刀护体，谁料手刚抬起，便听到嘎嘣一声，两口陌刀竟被打断。
王栋只觉撕心裂肺之剧痛，两道热乎带着腥味从脸颊滑落，眼前已然一黑，目不能视。
“这对招子就算是教训！”
道衣飘然，一个妇人犹在冷笑，正是现出本来面目的昊天圣母苏毓仙。
看到王栋被挖下双目，凌霄又气又急，反手拔刀，鼓动雷火元功，一刀横扫苏毓仙，誓要将这毒妇斩于马下，以报同袍失明之仇。
苏毓仙皓腕轻轻一摆，绵密真气透体而出，袖子宛若千钧钢鞭，啪的一下抽在凌霄刀口，震得他虎口欲裂。
凌霄见她根基深厚，便使了个虚招，拖起受伤的王栋退走。
苏毓仙冷笑道：“说来便来，说走便走，你这贼将倒是也留下些东西，才算符合礼数！”
说着驾起一团仙霞祥云追杀过去。
凌霄拖刀奔走，见强敌追赶，猛催元功，左右挥刀，锋芒十字纵横，霎时天雷怒吼，地火奔涌，隔绝出一道人为的天险绝境。
“全军速退！”
凌霄将王栋交给亲兵照料，让陌刀骑先行退走，而自己则率雷火二部断后。
陌刀骑刚退没几步，一朵泛着五彩色泽云霞轻飘飘地卷来，所过之处雷熄火灭，瞬间便攻克了雷炎天险。
凌霄嗜武，遇上此等高手不由得战血沸腾，精神抖擞，大喝一声，抡刀迎敌。
第一刀便是雷之卷绝式——九霄奔雷斩，刀锋一挥，便见天雷呼应，强猛雷罡灌入刀锋，劈头便朝云霞斩去。
然而那朵云霞却是不躲不闪，任由雷罡刀气斩中，凌霄虽然一招得手，但却毫无喜悦之色，反而面露惊讶。
他感觉到刀气犹如泥牛入海，根本无处着力，分明就是上佳的卸劲化力之法，忽然，柔劲转换，凌霄忽感一股刚猛大力由刀锋冲来，胸口顿时一闷，被硬生生震飞出去。
凌霄连退数步，才站稳脚跟，当他抬头再看，却见那朵云霞射出五色闪电，走势连环，刚猛无匹。
凌霄急忙躲闪，心中惊奇：“这五色雷电跟我的我天罡雷音颇为相似，难道是那毒妇吸收了我的雷劲再结合自身功力返还而来！”
想到对方可能有类似御天借势的功法，凌霄不由谨慎起来，他又改换真气，以炎之卷反扑，他抬手劈出数道灼热气劲，正是炎之卷的“炎火龙刀”刀气再度击中云霞，同样是被吞噬殆尽，随后云雾之中又射出五色火劲，逼得凌霄好不狼狈。
苏毓仙生母在孕胎更是修成混元道胎，她一出世便已具备先天道元，再加上修成天穹妙法，这借力打力，以柔蕴刚的功法丝毫不在混元道胎之下。
苏毓仙天赋异禀，可谓天生奇才，十六岁便修成五彩霞光最高境界，而且还结合本体天赋创出一套武学，但上一任的昊天圣母为了瞒过三教耳目，以独特的锁脉封穴之法封闭了她的佛道魔身，令得这套武学无从施展，之后她更是为了瞒过皇甫武吉，便自封功体十五年，混入皇宫。
这两重压制反而不断刺激她真气增加，十多年的积累，她早已跻身当世高手之列，但因为本体天赋被封，导致雄厚的内力大不受控制，所以楚婉冰和水灵缇才能从她寝宫全身而退。
当煌天摩耶陨落后，沧释天自知形式不容乐观，于是只得解开她最后一道禁封，至于她身世牵扯到的佛道秘辛只有见招拆招，随机应变了。
苏毓仙解除所有束缚，功力一跃千里，甫一出战便瞬间夺去王栋双眼，可谓是发泄被压抑多年的情绪。
凌霄跟她过了几招，渐感不支，苏毓仙占尽上风，心情大喜，兰花玉指化作拈花状，透出五色斑斓的光芒，同时背后浮现金色卍字法印，正是佛道合流。
凌霄心知对方极招将至，便将功体逼至极限，雷罡火气沛然而生，随即便是横刀削斩，刀锋扫过，拉出一道千丈刀芒，劲风灼烈刚猛，足以削平百里高山。
然而苏毓仙却是冷笑以待，透出万顷佛光，化作浑厚护墙，雷火刀气就犹如劈在铜墙铁壁之上，不但不能伤敌，还遭反震，此等护身气劲堪比菩提金身。
凌霄五内翻滚，气血倒流，嘴角再添新红。
雷火部众眼见主将危难，忠心护主，自发结阵迎战。
雷云部登上天际，行云布雷；火莲部足踏实地，引火焚敌，天雷地火上下汇聚，直冲昊天圣母。
苏毓仙不慌不忙，道袍一摆，玉掌朝前一推，一个五彩太极旋转而出，一招便荡开了天雷地火，随即她劲力一转，太极化卍印，正是一招刚猛无匹的佛门推手，庞大的气劲将二部阵型冲散，重创杀伤不少士兵。
简单的化劲，直接的平推，仅仅两招便叫雷炎二部损兵折将。
望着属下伤亡，凌霄心头抽痛，不顾内伤，强发一招，掩护众人后退。
苏毓仙讥笑道：“逃得掉吗？”
她驾起无色云霞在后追来，凌霄且战且退，为了掩护下属他已硬接了对手数十招，内伤极为严重，仅凭意志强撑身躯。
退走五里，忽见前方有支军马接引，高举雄狮白象旗，领军者正是妖族两大长老豸冠、百战。
按照原本的计划凌霄和王栋前去挑战，若能引出敌军便诈败不敌，妖族的狮象兵则在后方接应，但却见到惨败的陌刀骑，两妖心知不妙，于是便主动出击，营救凌霄。
果然遇上败退的雷火二部，而主将凌霄也负伤在身，偏偏身后追兵只有一朵五色彩云。
豸冠长啸一声，率先扑了上来，祭起狮王拳，抡起斗大的拳头遥发一记拳劲打向五彩云霞，他这一拳卯足了气力，拳劲犹如奔雷霹雳，又似平山巨炮，径直打在五彩云霞之上。
云霞猛地凹陷一个大洞，云气四散，豸冠嘿道：“虚张声势！”
凌霄急忙提醒道：“豸冠长老小心，那云层不简单……”
话音未落云气顿时合拢，化作一个巨大的拳头砸了回去，拳劲之中同样蕴含狮王拳的真气，豸冠大惊，急忙双臂交叠护在身前，硬接此拳。
只听轰的一声，整个人被打上半空，犹如断线纸鸢，鼻青脸肿，好不狼狈。
百战上前将他接住，但仍被余劲震得后退数丈，气血翻滚难平。
豸冠稳住身形，只觉胸口一酸，哗啦竟吐了一口鲜血，已然内伤。
苏毓仙登上云霞，睥笑道：“又来两个不要命的逆贼，今日本座便连取三大贼将，断龙贼一臂，实在痛快之极！”
言辞间已把三人当做插标卖首之辈。
豸冠抹去嘴角鲜血，怒道：“贱人，休得猖狂，本爷爷便跟你殊死一战！”
他性子刚烈，勇猛好战，岂会对一个道姑屈服，当下压制内伤，祭起一身妖力，凝出雄狮妖相，一侧的百战也同样运起象拔拳，背后也浮现巨象神威。
两大妖相浮现，二妖立即发起反扑，只看雄狮扑咬，巨象踏足，招招皆是雄沉力，式式尽为灭绝功，两妖尽显悍勇之气，刚猛无匹，有进无退，足可荡平千军万马。
然而苏毓仙却是从容不迫，兰指一点，云霞散开，筑成一道绵密气墙，尽挡两妖猛招，随既便是刚柔转化，五色彩云分出雄狮巨象的形象，恰似融合两人妖气和本身功夫的反扑之招。
五彩云兽一举击溃妖气化相，双妖惨呼一声，吐血败退。
苏毓仙哼了一声，纵身杀入敌阵，玉掌左右挥拂，妖兵不是当场毙命便是妖筋断裂，雷火二部自然来救，但却也是同样下场，伤亡不菲，昔日纵横天下的雄兵此刻犹如鱼腩弱旅，惨遭屠戮。
凌霄、豸冠、百战三将提气再战，欲阻止她残杀部众，谁料还未近身便被苏毓仙的护身气劲给震退。
她似有意剪除龙麟军的兵力，对于这三个修为较高的将领不予理会，全神对付龙麟军普通士兵，这些士兵那是她对手，如今阵型大乱，形式更是一边倒，顷刻便损失惨重。
她周身缠绕五色祥云，身法飘忽若仙，美妙至极，远远看去只见一朵彩云飘来飞去，但却是夺命凶物，所过之处不留活口，那斑斓丽色就像是毒蛇身上的纹路。
眼看便要血流成河，尸堆如山，危难关头忽见万剑开路，婀娜仙影介入战局，正是于秀婷亲来救援，只见她剑眉一扬，剑心凝敌，发在意先，锐利剑芒嗖嗖射向彩云。
剑气并未正面打在彩云之上，而是盘旋在其四周，布成绵密剑阵，封锁其流窜方位，抢救众兵将。
凌霄松了口气，答谢道：“多谢谷主救命之恩！”
原来王栋被人送回军营，龙辉得知此事便推断这大伤爱将的敌人不简单，恐怕单凭雷火二部，狮象妖兵难以匹敌，于是便请于秀婷出战，也幸亏龙辉多留了一个心眼，若不然伤亡还不止如此。
于秀婷朱唇轻启：“尔等速退，此人交吾！”
凌霄与二妖强撑伤体，收拢残兵朝大营撤退，现场只余下于秀婷和苏毓仙二人。
两女皆是天香国色，婀娜多姿，气质成熟，遥相对峙竟有一番争芳斗艳的滋味，若有外人再次定然会被迷得无法侧目。
于秀婷感到眼前之人颇为熟悉，但却无从确定其身份，毕竟昊天圣母解开封印后身负佛道魔三大真元，功体特殊之极，连于秀婷也看不出她端倪。
苏毓仙咯咯娇笑：“想不到竟是于剑仙亲临，贫道这厢有礼了！”
虽是口谈客气之言，但手下却毫不留情，只见那五彩云霞涌出八方卦象，竟在剑阵之内另开玄门阵势，以阵破阵。
“于剑仙，请赐教！”
苏毓仙初解禁锢，正是跃跃欲试之时，眼见当世女子高手站在跟前，岂有不挑战之理，她破阵之后，立即发招抢攻，既是试探又是挑衅。
于秀婷手捏剑指，一剑刺出，顿时指掌相对，莹白如雪的肤色交叠在一起，交汇出一副秀丽画卷。
交手刹那，于秀婷暗吃一惊，心忖道：“这道姑根基深厚，已经直逼我跟洛姐姐，如此高手怎会默默无闻，就像凭空冒出来一般。”
惊愕之余剑指再催三分力，苏毓仙也随之提劲，简单的一招试探便成了胜负之决。
于秀婷感到对手功力有异，心中更加诧异：“这道姑的内力既有道门的刚柔特性，又有佛门的雄厚沉稳……似乎还有一些其他的特性。”
疑惑之余，她脑海灵光闪过：“对了，她内力甚是猛烈锐利，而且劲走偏锋，正是魔界元功的特点！”
天剑谷跟魔界多番交战，于秀婷静心一想便瞧出她内力的玄机。
苏毓仙也是暗自叫苦，她掌心抵住于秀婷的剑指，只觉得锐利剑气雄厚不绝，接连冲击自己气脉，使得她整条手臂刺痛难受，好似每一条气脉之内都藏着一把利剑，正在不断地挥舞劈刺。
“这贱人不简单，不可再做保留！”
苏毓仙当即施展压箱绝学——五方昊宇功！这套功法内融佛道魔三气，外合五彩天穹，精妙绝伦，难做言喻。
只见她神功初现，一口内劲凝聚气海，转入手臂，尽驱入体剑气。
浩大真气轰然冲出，于秀婷只觉手臂一麻，竟也被震退，同时剑气也反冲对手，两女皆被对手劲气波及，各自后退，第一招算是难分轩轾。
解封初战便跟大名鼎鼎的剑仙打个平手，苏毓仙信心大增，运劲提元，全身真气流畅无比，再无昔日那种停滞不畅的感觉。
于秀婷凝眉问道：“道长武艺超群，不知方才一招是何名堂？”
苏毓仙笑道：“剑仙开金口，贫道怎敢不答，此法名曰五方昊宇功，今日算是第一次用于实战，不知于谷主可满意？”
Yu Xiuting was slightly taken aback, then smiled lightly: "So it turns out that Daoist is just beginning to show his new martial arts skills. Then I must not take advantage of you. I will also spar with you using a newly created sword technique!"
Having lost a point to the opponent, Su Yuxian's face darkened, but she dared not be careless. She focused her mind and secretly gathered her three-elemental true power.
Yu Xiuting lightly flicked her sword fingers, pointing diagonally to the southwest. Her aura was strong but not domineering, like a deep pool that appeared calm on the surface but actually had turbulent undercurrents.
Before she even made her move, Su Yuxian already felt immense pressure and asked, "May I ask what the name of this sword is, Valley Master?" Yu Xiuting smiled sweetly, like a rare and elegant orchid blooming in a secluded valley, and uttered five words: "Mysterious Thunder Heart Sword".
When the other party announced the name of his sword, Su Yuxian felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy. She was both excited and nervous, and her delicate palms were even sweating.
Yu Xiuting learned about the supernatural powers of the demon race from the phoenixes of different sizes many times. Later, she discovered a new path in martial arts with Long Hui. So she combined the strengths of many schools to create a unique sword technique and created the Xuan Ting Heart Sword.
She first took the character "Xuan" from "Xuantian Zhenlong," and then used the homophones "Ting" and "Xin" to express her tender feelings and sweet sentiments.
"Daoist Master, be careful, I'm about to draw my sword!"
Yu Xiuting chuckled lightly, pointed her sword at the vast expanse, and a scorching sword aura suddenly shot out, but it was inconspicuous and had no amazing power.
Su Yuxian raised her hand and summoned five-colored clouds, intending to absorb the sword energy and then combine it with her own power to strike back.
Unexpectedly, the moment the sword energy entered the cloud, it caused an astonishing change. The auspicious cloud surged and churned like boiling water. Su Yuxian felt a sudden tightness in her chest, her blood rushed back, and she cried out in alarm, immediately retreating.
With a thunderous roar, a colossal fire dragon soared into the sky. As the saying goes, "the wind follows the tiger, and the clouds follow the dragon," and the multicolored clouds instantly became the fire dragon's vassals, instead swirling back.
Su Yuxian's face paled, and she immediately used another move—Tai Chi Buddhist Seal! She formed a seal with her jade hands, turning the Yin and Yang Tai Chi externally and concealing the swastika seal internally. First, she used Tai Chi to deflect seventy percent of the fire, and then used the swastika to block the remaining force. The fire dragon pounced down, immediately triggering an astonishing explosive force. With a roar, it burned Su Yuxian's surrounding area of a hundred feet into scorched earth.
Su Yuxian tried her best to deflect and block, managing to keep her from losing, but she was forced to the point of disheveled hair, flushed cheeks, panting and sweating, revealing a somewhat embarrassed look.
"Master, you are truly skilled, remaining unscathed from the fiery dragon explosion. Then take another strike from me!"
Yu Xiuting struck again with her sword, and instantly lightning flashed and thunder roared. The sword transformed into a thunder dragon, and the booming thunder continued to explode. Su Yuxian felt a sharp pain in her ears and was extremely uncomfortable.
This move uses thunderous sound to clear the way, first disturbing the enemy's hearing, and then injuring the enemy with thunderous sword energy; it is called Thunder Dragon Shock.
The Xuan Ting Heart Sword incorporates dragon energy into its sword techniques, increasing the flexibility and versatility of the swordplay and enhancing the power of the sword energy. It then uses the number nine as a base number, applying the principles of the Nine Palaces Sword Technique, combining the Heavenly Heart Sword and the Azure Lotus Sword Song, and finally supplementing it with various unique skills to integrate the sword techniques.
This set of sword moves uses the Nine Palaces attributes as the initial sword styles, namely Heavenly Dragon Transformation, Earthly Dragon Soaring, Mountain Dragon Collapse, Marsh Dragon Crouching, Wind Dragon Roaring, Thunder Dragon Tremoring, Water Dragon Chanting, Fire Dragon Exploding, and Central Palace Gathering Dragon.
The Nine Palaces attribute is only the initial power of the sword technique. After that, as long as the Nine Palaces Dragon Form is slightly modified, it becomes another set of sword techniques. It is like combining the Water Dragon Roar and Mountain Dragon Collapse into a move similar to the Mountain and River Sword Realm. Not only is the power amazing, but it is also more flexible than the Mountain and River Sword Realm. Yu Xiuting has never experienced the true power of this sword technique. Now, when she encounters the reborn Haotian Holy Mother, she can't help but try her moves and use the enemy as a sacrifice for the sword.
Thunder Dragon Sword Qi crisscrossed, fierce and unparalleled. Su Yuxian felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, so she used her unique move again - Yama's Wrath.
As she clasped her hands together, colorful clouds surged around her, and the mist transformed into a ferocious giant demon. The demon wore a kasaya and a Taoist crown, held a Buddhist knife in its left hand and a whisk in its right, and its whole body radiated five-colored light. It looked incongruous, but it was extremely powerful.
The Yama raised his whisk and struck, the whisk swirling upwards and instantly locking onto the Thunder Dragon's body. This was the Tai Chi sticky force of the Taoist school. Then, his left hand slashed down with his monk's knife, which secretly combined with the powerful and heavy internal force of the Buddhist school. With one strike, he cut the Thunder Dragon in two.
Although the dragon form had dissipated, the sword intent remained. Yu Xiuting activated her sword heart, and the scattered thunderous sword energy immediately surrounded Su Yuxian.
These sword energies were chaotic and scattered all around, making them extremely difficult to defend against. Su Yuxian was caught off guard, her Taoist robe was pierced by the thunderous sword energy, and a tuft of her hair on the side of her neck was cut off. She was almost beheaded.
Faced with the continuous barrage of thunderous sword energy, Su Yuxian also devised a countermeasure. She stomped her lotus feet on the ground, took a step and moved around, and used another ultimate move of the Five Directions Haoyu Technique - the Six Paths Qiankun Step.
This footwork also combines the composure of Buddhism with the agility of Taoism. As she unleashed her movement technique, Su Yuxian was as swift as a rabbit and as fast as a bird, deftly dodging the surrounding sword energy and breaking through the sword energy blockade to directly approach Yu Xiuting.
Yu Xiuting raised an eyebrow, focused her fingers and drew her sword again. The surrounding water vapor transformed into a dragon, its shape both gentle and swift, a move called Water Dragon's Roar.
The water dragon swam swiftly, and with a flick of its tail, it blocked Su Yuxian. Then, it roared, and the surrounding area suddenly displayed the power to overturn rivers and seas.
Su Yuxian saw a raging wave crashing down on her head, its force not suitable for direct confrontation. She immediately took six steps of the Qiankun Step and dodged the raging wave.
Just as she dodged the raging waves, a water dragon rushed towards her. Su Yuxian chuckled to herself, "I'm faster than you. No matter how fierce your moves are, you won't be able to hit me!"
Although her body moved with her mind, Su Yuxian skillfully dodged the water dragon's attack. Just as she was about to feel triumphant, she suddenly heard a dragon's roar behind her. When she turned around, she saw that the water dragon had silently circled behind her, demonstrating that its speed was superior to the Six Paths of Heaven and Earth Steps.
The water dragon raised its giant claws and slammed down. Su Yuxian bit her lip, formed the Immovable Foundation Seal with her fingers, let out a delicate shout, and her tongue roared like spring thunder. She transformed into the Immovable Demon Emperor, standing calmly amidst the raging waves, blocking the water dragon's sword energy with her powerful protective energy.
After three sword strikes, Yu Xiuting had roughly gauged her opponent's strength and, not wanting to continue the fight, simply said, "Master's skill is truly admirable. Let's end it here for today, and if fate allows, we can continue our battle another day!"
After saying that, he turned and left.

My update speed was already considered quite fast, but it still pales in comparison to Water Dragon's Roar.
Some readers have mentioned things like codes and passwords. Let me state upfront that I don't understand that stuff and can't write it down. As for the Confucian school's secret methods of deciphering it... that's really frustrating; it feels like a spy war. I don't have that kind of extensive knowledge, and I don't know how to write about it.
As for things like factory production and raw materials... I'm speechless. My major is related to biology. If you ask me about cells and tissues, I can talk about them. Anyone can be my mentor when it comes to knowledge of these production lines. I just assume that repairing is easier than building.
The Holy Mother Haotian has leveled up. Well, as the saying goes in Pili, "Seventy percent of her power makes her invincible, ten percent makes her unable to move an inch." Whoever has mastered enough of her martial arts is ready to relinquish her power.
