Chapter 84: Sword Intent Sublimation, Demon Heaven Alliance
The Hall of Merit, or the reception room.
Mr. Huo brewed some spiritual tea.
This time, Wei Fan didn't wait for Mr. Huo to make a move. He stood up and poured a glass for Mr. Huo, and then poured himself a glass.
Mr. Huo took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "You should have met Xueyi, how did you feel?"
Wei Fan thought for a moment and uttered a word: "Cold!"
Mr. Huo nodded slightly: "You should have heard from others that Xueyi's grandfather is the commander Long Jianying..."
Wei Fan nodded.
"When she was little, she was very lively and naughty. She often scratched my beard and messed up my books. She often used my spiritual tea to feed kittens and puppies. But how could the granddaughter of Long Jianying have such a stable life?
Since those demons couldn't kill the Dragon Sword Eagle, they set their sights on its descendants.
Once, her parents took her and her brother out for an outing and were found by a demon. When Long Jianying arrived, her parents and brother were all dead. Only she survived, her body stained with her father's blood.
From then on, the girl rarely smiled and practiced martial arts very hard every day.
In addition, the old guy Long Jianying had no time to accompany her, and he was a demon hunter and was traveling outside every day, so she felt more and more cold.
She said she was Long Jianying’s granddaughter, but actually I raised her by myself…”
Wei Fan took a sip of tea, not knowing what Mr. Huo meant by what he said, but if the spiritual tea was free to drink, he could listen to it all the time.
Seeing that he was not getting the point, Mr. Huo immediately became annoyed: "Okay, you can go now!"
“…”
Wei Fan stood up, but saw that Old Huo threw another book to him: "This is the Rock Breathing Art, which is better than the one you have. Humans have the art of gathering qi to find demons, and demons also have similar skills. When you are out in the world, try not to leak your breath when you are not fighting, so as not to be taken away by demons.
After a fight, try to erase any remaining breath as much as possible and don't give demons the chance to take away your breath.
If you are not extremely vigilant, you won't survive long as a demon hunter.
As a demon hunter, although you have moved into the dark, those demons are not stupid and they will most likely guess that you will become a demon hunter.
Don't think of demons as simple things. Although it is harder for them to achieve enlightenment than humans, they have lived longer and are each very shrewd.
Most of the time, they are the ones who set traps for the human race."
Wei Fan cupped his hands: "Thank you, Mr. Huo, for your advice!"
Putting away the Rock-Stone Breath-Containing Technique, Wei Fan turned and walked out of the Hall of Merit.
It took him half a quarter of an hour and a hundred years of practice to return to the yard, and he finally mastered the Rock Breath-Containing Technique.
Wei Fan used the Qi-Observing and Demon-Identifying Technique to look at himself again. There was no trace of breath leaking from his body. He was like a lifeless dead object.
"Perfect breath control!"
Wei Fan frowned slightly. Being too perfect is not a good thing. When you meet a master, you will not leak any aura at all. Even a fool can understand that the one who can restrain all the aura must be a master, which is also an exposure.
Therefore, this thing called Breath-Concealing is not very practical except for preventing the breath from being picked up by demons for tracking.
The best thing is to change your breath rather than restrain it.
[Soul-Destroying Demon-Slaying Sword: Heavenly Man Chapter (Not Beginner)]
[Dragon Roar Sky Shattering Finger·Heaven and Man Chapter (Not yet started)]
【Mountain Shocking Fist: Heaven and Man Chapter (Not yet introduced)】
…
[Current skill: 1144 years]
With less than 1,200 years of practice, Wei Fan didn't know if it was enough to perfect these three martial arts.
The Dragon Roar Sky-Breaking Finger in the Heaven and Man Realm has become a true martial art, with the addition of the true meaning of controlling the power of heaven and earth to attack. The power of the finger technique does not only depend on the degree of tempering.
The Soul-Destroying and Demon-Slaying Sword still has the original five styles, but the difference is that it is no longer just a heritage of sword intent. It not only has the ability to use the sword intent to draw on the power of heaven and earth to attack, but it also completes the five styles of the Heaven and Man chapter, and can also be used as an introduction to sword moves.
Just like the Taixu Bengri Palm, after learning the sword skills, there are no subsequent sword skills that can be exchanged in the Hall of Merit. If one wants to obtain further sword skills inheritance, one can only worship the Second Commander as a disciple.
In the Heavenly Man Realm, it is enough to get started with sword skills. To reach a higher level of sword skills, it is not something that can be exerted by the Heavenly Man Martial Artist's mental power alone.
The same goes for the Zhenshan Fist, things beyond the Divine Realm are also not available in the Hall of Merit.
Wei Fan didn't care too much about it. At worst he could just change his martial arts. There were martial arts on the same level as these in the Demon Suppression Division.
After calming down, the panel began to flash: [After one year of practice, you begin to practice the Dragon Roar Sky Shattering Finger: Heaven and Man Chapter, tempering your ten fingers with the power of heaven and earth and true energy]
[After twenty years of practice, your ten fingers have completed their first tempering. The Dragon Roar Sky-Smashing Finger Heavenly Man Chapter has begun. Your ten fingers are like heavenly weapons, piercing gold and splitting stone.]
…
It took only twenty years to get started, and after tempering all ten fingers, it seemed that the Dragon Roar Sky-Breaking Finger was perfected without much effort.
He raised his finger and looked, the purple color became more obvious, crystal clear like purple crystal, entangled with strands of the power of heaven and earth.
[After twenty-five years of training, you continue to temper your ten fingers. However, you find that since you started practicing the Dragon Roar Shattering Sky Finger Heavenly Man Chapter, the strength of your ten fingers has not increased at all. You have been tempering in vain.]
Wei Fan frowned slightly, he was actually trapped, but he did not stop to increase his strength.
[After twenty-six years of practice, you vaguely understand the reason why you can no longer temper your ten fingers. When you practice in the Heavenly Man Realm, your true strength will transform and become stronger with each advancement. Your true strength has not transformed, so tempering will naturally have no effect.]
[After twenty-seven years of practice, you put aside the training of your ten fingers and concentrated on comprehending the true meaning of the Dragon Roar Shattering Sky Finger Heaven and Man Chapter]
[With eighty years of practice, your mind has grown stronger day by day, but you still have no idea about the true meaning of the Dragon Roar Shattering Sky Finger Heaven and Man Chapter, but you are not discouraged]
[After one hundred and fifty years of practice, you suddenly realize that the key to Dragon Roar Sky Shattering Finger is "shattering". Your previous use of Dragon Roar Sky Shattering Finger was more like claw technique than finger technique.]
[With one hundred and eighty years of experience, you have been studying the secret of "shattering" day by day, and your mind has gradually become in tune with the true meaning of the Dragon Roar Sky Shattering Finger]
[After two hundred years of practice, you finally understood the true meaning of the Dragon Roar Shattering Sky Finger Heaven and Man Chapter. Your mind and the true meaning of the finger technique merged, and the Dragon Roar Shattering Sky Finger Heaven and Man Chapter was half-perfected. Once the finger technique is released, nothing can escape its shattering. Once the transformation of the true energy is completed, the finger technique can be completely perfected.]
[Dragon Roar Sky-Breaking Finger·Heaven and Man Chapter (Half Perfection)]
[Current skill: 944 years]
I have achieved a semi-perfect state! I have understood the true meaning, but my ten fingers have not been tempered well.
In this case, the power of semi-perfection is probably only that of minor success or mastery. If the ten fingers are not tempered well, the power will at least be halved.
Wei Fan raised a finger and pointed at the air. As a trembling sound was heard, the power of heaven and earth spread to all directions in the form of a spider web.
It wasn't that he liked to use finger techniques as claw techniques before, it was just that the Dragon Roar Sky-Breaking Finger was different from the finger techniques he knew, as it tempered all ten fingers instead of just one.
Since all ten fingers are powerful, why use only one instead of all ten?
After resting for a while, Wei Fan began to add the Soul-Destroying and Demon-Slaying Sword.
[After one year of practice, you begin to practice the Soul-Destroying Demon-Slaying Sword: Heaven and Man Chapter, and comprehend a new sword intent]
[With ten years of practice, you have already perfected your sword intent and have also practiced the Soul-Destroying Demon-Slaying Sword's Acupuncture Points. It is very easy for you to control your true strength with your sword intent. The power of your sword skills has increased dramatically. This is the beginning of the Soul-Destroying Demon-Slaying Sword.]
[Twenty years of practice, the Soul-Destroying Demon-Slaying Sword has achieved minor success in the Heavenly Man Chapter. Your mind has become stronger, and you can use the sword intent to control your true strength while drawing on the power of heaven and earth to increase the power of your sword skills.]
[Thirty years of practice, mastering the Soul-Destroying Demon-Slaying Sword Heavenly Man Chapter, as the sword's will surges, the power of heaven and earth rushes in]
[After forty years of practice, the Soul-Destroying Demon-Slaying Sword has been perfected. You seem to be stuck in a dilemma and unable to comprehend what the sword power is]
…
Even a celestial martial artist can still master entry-level sword moves.
That is to say, for most celestial martial artists, even the top-level monsters have to reach the ninth level of celestial being before they can comprehend the power of the sword.
Wu Moyi, the previous leader of Piaoyu Sect, lived for one hundred and fifty years, but he never realized what power was before his death.
A monster like Long Xueyi has only mastered a little bit and has not even reached the entry level.
It is undoubtedly difficult for Wei Fan to comprehend the sword power at the second level of the Heavenly Man Realm, and he does not have the terrifying comprehension of Long Xueyi.
Even though the Soul-Destroying, Demon-Slaying Sword, Heavenly Man Chapter, is a sword force inheritance, it is not something that can be learned in just one go, otherwise the Second Commander's disciple Zhang Xianlong would not have achieved perfection in sword intent, but would have already mastered the sword force.
Wei Fan did not stop. He even started to add power to the Soul-Destroying and Demon-Slaying Sword while adding power to the Soul Visualization Diagram.
Regardless of the sword's power or sword's intention, they are all related to the power of the mind. If the power of the mind is strengthened, it should be easier to comprehend:
[With one hundred years of experience, you have been practicing sword skills and cultivating spiritual visualization diagrams. You still cannot master the sword skills, but you have made considerable gains in the power of your mind.]
[With three hundred years of practice, your mental power has become stronger and stronger, and the power of the Soul-Destroying Demon-Slaying Sword has increased accordingly, but you still don’t understand what sword power is.]
[With five hundred years of experience, you have been practicing the Soul-Destroying Demon-Slaying Sword and the Soul Visualization Diagram. You will not stop until you have mastered the sword’s power.]
[After six hundred years of practice, you come to your senses and realize that you have fallen into madness and obsession. You begin to put aside your practice of swordsmanship and the Soul Visualization Diagram, and use your heart to comprehend the world.]
[With seven hundred years of experience, you have traveled the world, seen the sun, the moon, the mountains, the rivers, and the land. Recalling the sword of Long Xueyi that you saw that day, you vaguely understand what "momentum" means. Power, wealth, the general trend, the momentum of heaven and earth. The power of turning one's hand to make clouds and rain is momentum, and everything is unstoppable is momentum...]
[After 750 years of hard work, you have calmed down and picked up the Soul-Destroying Demon-Slaying Sword again.]
[With eight hundred years of experience, your sword will has sublimated and transformed into a magnificent sword force. The Soul-Destroying Demon-Slaying Sword Heavenly Man Chapter has been completed perfectly, and you have entered the sword force stage.]
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
[Soul-Destroying Demon-Slaying Sword: Heavenly Man Chapter (Complete)]
[Current skill: 144 years]
Wei Fan exhaled a breath, opened his eyes full of vicissitudes of life, and a heavy and majestic aura came from his body.
In the past, his sword intent was sharp, tough, and indestructible.
At this moment, the sword intent was sublimated into sword force, and there was only an unstoppable and overwhelming momentum.
He did not test the power of the knife, otherwise the surrounding yard would have been flattened in an instant.
…
The next day, a carriage drove out of Suzhou and headed towards Yuanchao.
Long Xueyi looked at the driver's back and said in the car: "Remember the first rule of a demon hunter, save your own life. If you encounter a demon that you cannot defeat, run away as fast as possible.
Although I am your guide, if I encounter danger that I cannot overcome, I will leave you behind without hesitation.
The same goes for you. Don't worry about my life or death. As long as the demon hunter is alive, there is hope."
Wei Fan nodded. He had heard this from Zhang Xianlong.
Demon Hunters and Demon Suppressors are indeed different. If Shan Jinhong had not fought to the death that day and had escaped without caring about the lives of his Demon Suppressors and soldiers, Wei Changqing and his men might not have been able to kill Shan Jinhong.
Wei Fan turned around and looked at Long Xueyi, who had turned into an ordinary woman.
Both of them changed their appearance.
Wei Fan was dressed as a servant guard and looked ordinary, while Long Xueyi disguised herself as a young lady from an ordinary family to conceal their identities.
"How does a demon hunter accept quests?"
From the moment he received the badge, he had become a demon hunter, but no one told him how to hunt demons or where to take quests.
Long Xueyi shook her head: "As a demon hunter, no one will assign you tasks. You have to find and kill demons on your own. This is also my main task as a guide."
Wei Fan was stunned. How to find it? If he could find where the demons were, he would kill them himself. Why would he need to wait for tasks in the Demon Suppression Division every day?
"Have you forgotten the Qi-collecting technique you learned? This is how demon hunters find demons. I know you want to say that you didn't collect any demon's aura, but you don't have to worry about that. At this Donglin event, you will have the opportunity to collect a lot of demon's aura.
If you run out of them in the future, you can always find other demon hunters to exchange them for."
This is not easy to find.
Humans can restrain all auras, making it impossible for demons to track them. Demons should also have the same means in this regard.
Wei Fan waved his whip: "Aren't you afraid of being tricked by other demon hunters? What if they give you the aura of a powerful demon? Wouldn't it be suicide to chase them?"
Long Xueyi nodded first, then shook her head: "It's good to be on guard, but the possibility of being tricked by the demon hunter is not high. Do you think that just because Mr. Huo throws the demon hunter's waist badge to you, anyone can become a demon hunter?"
Wei Fan raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it?"
He and Mr. Huo had only met a few times in total. Apart from the reputation he had created as a genius with innate skills, he really didn't know what other strengths of his that Mr. Huo valued.
Looking at Zhang Xianlong and Long Xueyi, it seems that the requirement for being a demon hunter is good talent.
Although it cannot be said that everyone can become a demon hunter, there seems to be no other requirements.
Long Xueyi said: "Of course not, martial arts talent is only a secondary condition for becoming a demon hunter. The first thing a demon hunter looks at is hatred for demons and whether one has a heart to protect the human race.
You thought that Mr. Huo just casually threw the badge to you, but in fact, countless people have already gone to Yuncheng and thoroughly investigated your past.
If you have ever been soft on demons or bad guys, you cannot be a demon hunter."
Long Xueyi raised her head and said, "Let me say something a little conceited. If you are not a genius, you can't be a demon hunter. When a demon meets a demon hunter, only one can survive.
Over the years, I have never heard of anyone being tricked by a fellow demon hunter using his aura."
Because those who were cheated all died.
Long Xueyi seemed to have seen through this: "Those powerful demons are all recorded in books, and it's not just one demon hunter who has collected their auras. If they don't even think of looking for other demon hunters to verify after the exchange, they deserve to die!"
"I don't mean to say that all demon hunters are trustworthy. On the contrary, I want to tell you not to trust any demon hunter easily, even if it's me or Zhang Xianlong whom you met once. Don't trust him completely."
Wei Fan was puzzled: "Why?"
Long Xueyi said: "Demon hunters are people who hate demons. Some of them have changed their original intentions in the process of hunting demons. In order to hunt demons, they sometimes even use their own compatriots as traps to kill demons.
Demon hunters have only two principles: one is to stay alive, and the other is to hunt demons. Some people don't care about the process for the second point. "
Wei Fan frowned: "Is there no one to stop you from killing your colleagues like this?"
Long Xueyi shook her head: "How can I manage it? Demon hunters are originally beings that no one can command, and using colleagues as traps means that either the trap fails and you die, or it succeeds and kills the demons, and your colleagues are fine.
There is nothing much to say if you succeed, but there is no way to hold you accountable if you die.
Especially if you use a powerful medicine like yours to set traps, it will be accurate every time and can attract many powerful demons."
As she spoke, Long Xueyi was somewhat curious about Wei Fan's current reaction.
The demon hunter gave him such a huge disappointment that he was disappointed and disgusted.
Wei Fan's voice rang out: "Tell me about the Donglin Festival. You said before that there would be a chance to collect the auras of many demons. Could it be that this Donglin Festival is used to lure demons?"
From the information he saw on the badge, Wei Fan knew that he and Long Xueyi were not the only demon hunters heading to Donglin City.
Long Xueyi gathered her long hair and nodded gently, not caring that Wei Fan didn't see it: "Yes, you know, even with the Qi-gathering magic, it's not easy to track down a demon. Sometimes you can't even catch it after several months.
The best way, of course, is to let the demons appear automatically.
This time, it was a veteran demon hunter from the Donglin Jin family who planned to use himself as bait to lure a group of demons to kill.”
Ningdan demons rarely eat humans. It’s not that they have become vegetarians, but that when they reach the Ningdan level, eating ordinary people is no longer useful. Only powerful celestial warriors or acupoint warriors can be useful to them.
The more powerful the demon, the more powerful the warrior it needs.
Eating ordinary people has no benefits and will instead bring great risks.
Wei Fan waved his whip again: "Don't those monsters know it's a trap?"
Long Xueyi nodded: "So what if they know, they still have to come, the news released by the veteran demon hunter Jin Wucheng in Donglin is that he is about to break through the divine realm.
The flesh and blood of a martial arts master who is about to break through to the divine realm is a great tonic for demons.
Moreover, among our human race we have demon hunters who specialize in hunting down demon masters. Demons also have a similar organization, the Demon Heaven Alliance. Even if they are not for flesh and blood, they cannot allow another divine martial master to join the demon hunters.
Many times, the so-called trap is actually a trap that you know is a trap but you still have to step into it.
Just like what happened in Dingyang Town last time, those demons knew it was a trap, but they still bet they could kill you. "
