Chapter 170 Twin Li Hao, Dragon Pass Road is inaccessible
The spring rain is continuous.
The distant mountains and nearby forests outside the Great Wall were shrouded in silver-like raindrops.
The dripping rain hit the fenced courtyard and splashed on the cracks of the bluestone slabs in the courtyard, bringing with it the smell of earth.
There was a pot of tea in the kitchen and two people were sitting at the table.
One is Li Hao, and the other is also Li Hao.
That's right.
The two figures sitting at the table in this small courtyard drinking tea and playing chess are both Li Hao.
From the outside, they are exactly the same.
It’s just that the other Li Hao looked a little dazed, with a dull look in his eyes.
"Sure enough, your brain isn't flexible enough."
Li Hao made another move and won the game, but his experience was not increased.
Even in this form of game, the panel judged it as a game between oneself and oneself.
But it doesn't matter if you have no experience. Li Hao is so into chess that he enjoys playing even without experience.
The clone in front of him, who looks just like him, was obtained from the collection of famous paintings sent by the painter.
The famous painting is: The Two-Faced Man.
The painting shows a young girl with a long skirt, gazing into the distance and looking at the afterglow.
The seemingly simple paintings contain countless details, and the painting techniques of light, dark, symmetry and other techniques are integrated to perfection.
Through the thickness of the lines, the swaying skirt is outlined with just a few simple strokes. The light and dark amplitude of each pleat is natural and symmetrical, which is terrifying.
The afterglow was light red, and the color it emitted was also the same, like a flame melting on the drawing paper, really burning.
Li Hao felt that he was far from being able to reach this level with his own sixth-level painting skills.
He felt that in order to meet the requirements for inclusion in the panel illustrations, it might require nine levels of skills to accomplish this.
There are very few people in the world who can achieve such a high artistic conception. Even among the famous paintings and albums that have been passed down for thousands of years, there are not many.
Each one of them has a heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years and is of extraordinary significance.
After this two-faced man was collected, he disappeared from the world, which made Li Hao feel deeply regretful.
"The Two-Faced Man" was embedded into Li Hao's physical body, bringing extremely strange properties.
Two-Faced Man: With his own flesh and blood, he can construct a dark-side body with 30% of the original body's abilities.
The dark side's physical body is destroyed, but the original body remains unharmed.
The true self and the dark side have no connection with each other, and cannot share memories or vision.
When the dark side body is destroyed, this attribute will be restarted - (only one dark side body can be constructed) the original body can give instructions to the dark side body, and the dark side body will have the simple thinking of the original body.
…
When Li Hao previously collected other chess records, famous paintings, and even music scores, the attributes he obtained were all to amplify certain attributes, but this "Two-Faced Man" can directly provide him with an ability.
In other words, the previous attributes are also some kind of ability.
For example, the fatal attribute is an extremely strange ability with a 1% chance of being fatal.
But the ability of this two-faced man has been materialized.
This special attribute, when used in combat, does not bring much improvement. It is equivalent to giving Li Hao an extra helper, but the abilities are only one-third of his original one.
After the test, Li Hao discovered that although it was said to be one-third, the actual combat effectiveness was far from enough.
Due to the reduction in capabilities, this dark clone is unable to display the special states of the ultimate martial arts, such as the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, divine power, and immortality, all of which are disabled.
Physical strength is only 300,000 pounds.
There is strength in the body, not spiritual energy. Even if the whole body's strength explodes, it is less than 4 million pounds.
You know, the royal family can reach a strength of 2 million jin.
The soldiers of the Yuan Camp weighed 500,000 jin.
Only twice that of the royal family.
Fortunately, the Yin and Yang meridians were not blocked, and the power of the activated meridians was 8 million pounds.
It is equivalent to 4 times the explosive power of the Royal Family.
The divine wandering, the control of objects, etc., were also reduced, and were only about twice that of the royal family.
Based on the combat power of this dark side clone alone, Li Hao estimated that it could be used to suppress some big demons in the realm of immortality, but if it encountered a demon king, it would probably be beaten to death in the blink of an eye.
But fortunately, Li Hao had no plans to use this clone to fight. He just wanted to use it to play chess with him or run errands for him in his spare time. It was quite convenient.
Moreover, the construction of this dark side clone was effortless, and was condensed with just one of his fingers.
His original severed finger regenerated and grew back in just a few minutes.
As for this dark side clone, the healing speed of its injuries was greatly reduced. Li Hao asked Li Hongzhuang to test it and found that it was only about twice as fast as hers.
These are all secondary. What makes Li Hao most helpless is that the chess skills of this dark clone are so poor. His ability in this area is only about one-third of his own.
But chess is different from martial arts. When competing with someone whose skills are only one-third of yours, you will be seen through at a glance. It's too clumsy, and there is no pleasure in winning.
The only consolation is that this dark clone can help him run errands when he has nothing to do, and go outside the pass to clear out the monsters from time to time.
Unfortunately, the dark side clone cannot earn panel experience by doing things, otherwise the experience would be doubled, and it would be really happy.
In addition to the attributes brought by this famous painting, the chess manual given by the young chess master also brings a special attribute.
The name of the chess record is: Qiankun Tupu.
Qiankun is heaven and earth. The chessboard is vertical and horizontal, with 19 horizontal lines and 19 vertical lines. It takes 361 pieces to fill it up! Li Hao embedded this chessboard into the Imperial Road and also got a peculiar property.
Qiankun Atlas:
You can choose any object as a mark and devote 50% of your strength to it.
Once the mark is destroyed, the power will burst forth.
Total number of markers: 180.
…
The 180 is the number of black or white pieces placed, and is also the total number of marks Li Hao can make at the same time.
After Li Hao's experiment, he poured his strength into a military flag, and during the pouring process, he could also add his own swordsmanship into it.
He injected a sword skill and 50% of his strength into it, and the military flag became one of its symbols.
When the military flag is destroyed, the sword energy and power trapped inside will burst out and cover the surroundings indiscriminately.
This is a bit like the magic circle constructed by the old Xingxiu official.
But Li Hao's style is simpler and belongs to the single-body type, which is only suitable for him.
Under the attribute of keeping a low profile, Li Hao needed half a day to recover the 50% of strength he consumed.
That is to say, he could only make two military flags a day to replenish his strength.
Li Hao was not in a hurry. He was free anyway. He would create one every day when he recovered some strength.
Now there are 16 marked military flags in his yard.
When the rain stopped, Li Hao asked his dark clone to carry the marked military flags to the outside of the pass and plant one on each of the hills that were originally home to the aura of the three immortal demons.
He who occupies the mountain is king.
He wants to make sure that wherever his military flag is placed, demons will be banned from entering!
In the courtyard, Ren Qianqian was a little surprised when she saw the dark clone, but later she calmed down after learning that it was Li Hao's martial arts.
Strange situations like dark side clones are not unique.
Li Hao had read many ancient books in Tingyu Tower and knew that some of the skills practiced in the Three Immortal Realms could condense a clone, but the quality of the clone varied.
Moreover, it is said that some powerful people in the Four Stages Realm will specially forge a mortal body, send their original mortal heart into the mortal body, while their original body will condense the Tao heart and step into the Four Stages.
This is also a technique to break through to the state of Tao mind.
However, this technique is not recommended and is not perfect enough.
Once the worldly heart is broken, the Tao heart will also be affected, just like an upside-down bowl with a gap.
Like the Li family, or those in the Four Realms that Li Hao knows, they have basically transcended the mortal world and become the Tao. They only have a true body, but no condensed mortal body.
However, among the demons, the practice of 'dividing the mind and merging the Tao' is advocated.
Like the three-headed snake demon that Li Hao encountered before, if all three heads could be melted into one head, he could transform into the Tao state of mind.
The Ghost Lady of Ten Thousand Caves is even more exaggerated. She gathers thousands of ghosts and spirits, tears the mortal heart into pieces, and then combines the hearts of thousands of ghosts and monsters to finally become a demon seed with a Taoist heart.
It is very easy to get lost in this process and turn into a lonely ghost, a mountain spirit or a monster. Whether one can succeed in cultivation also depends on luck and strategic layout.
Every demon king who has cultivated to the fourth level has an extremely eventful experience.
Once you step into the Four Realms and become king, your life will rarely be in danger unless you seek death.
If you reach the state of defying fate, it will be even harder to die.
Previously, Li Hao had the strength to kill several demon kings, but in the end, only the Wan Ku Ghost Lady in this state of mind was left, and the rest of the demon kings all escaped.
…
Time flies.
The spring rain becomes more and more continuous, and the occasional sunny day is fleeting.
More and more military flags were raised outside the pass, and each flag seemed to be a slap in the face of the demons outside the pass.
As more and more demons were inserted, finally one of them couldn't stand the humiliation anymore.
In the heavy rain, an indestructible demon roared and rushed towards the hill where he had planted the flag a few days ago. That was his new home that he had just built halfway, but now it had been razed to the ground, leaving only a bare hill and the battle flag bathed in the heavy rain.
When the demon saw the word "Haotian" on the flag, his eyes turned bloodthirsty and he roared angrily.
"Lord Longze, don't!"
A bird from the Tianji Palace came over and shouted hurriedly.
But the demon no longer cared. Instead of living in fear outside the pass and hiding and running away every once in a while, it would be better for it to find another place to settle down.
It had already planned to tear up all the broken flags of the damn human kid and then leave.
Anyway, the world is so big, and everywhere can be considered home.
Bang! As its sharp claws slapped down, the battle flag was instantly submerged, the flagpole was broken, and the flag was torn apart.
Before the demon could sneer, a burst of sword energy suddenly burst out from the battle flag, as if a sword had split open the world! It actually swept away the heavy rain in the sky!
Afterwards, the sword energy broke through the sky, tore apart the dark clouds, and stopped the spring rain.
Then he chopped it down fiercely!
It was like an immortal in the ethereal world, casually swinging a sword! The demon's pupils shrank, revealing shock and disbelief. Where did this attack come from? It roared and roared, exerting monstrous demonic energy, and its scales swelled up, trying to block the sword energy.
But the next moment, the sword energy fell straight down, and with a bang, it split his body from the head, splitting his body in half! Then, the sword energy melted and broke into countless tiny sword energies, rushing like raindrops.
If only the body was split in half, the demon could still escape with his life. After all, "a mere fatal wound" is not enough to kill a demon in the third immortal realm.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Even if the heart is broken, as long as you leave the battlefield in time, take drugs in time, or save your life, you can still survive.
Relying on the speed of body regeneration, it is not too difficult to heal a broken heart.
But at this moment, under the impact of the thousands of sword qi, a sword qi instantly penetrated into his body, and before the demon could even struggle, his soul was suddenly annihilated! His huge body fell directly onto the hillside, in front of the broken military flag.
The bird demon that was rushing over was so frightened when the sword energy rose into the sky that it stopped and quickly retreated and shrank back at a very fast speed, avoiding the coverage of the sword energy.
When the bird saw the thousands of sword energies continuously cleansing the demon's corpse until it disappeared, it came to its senses and was so shocked that it was speechless.
"Hey, there's a sword formation on this military flag?!"
"How is that possible!"
"When will the Sitianjian of the Great Yu Dynasty be able to set up such a terrifying and sophisticated magic array!!"
The bird's feathers were all shaking and trembling, and its blood seemed to have frozen with shock. Although spring had come, it felt colder than winter.
This spring may be the spring for some people.
But it is the winter of their demons! The bird felt weak all over and blew the mysterious whistle. Soon, a large number of birds from the Tianji Palace gathered.
When they saw a circle of clear sky above the mountain, they were all surprised and came forward to ask what was going on.
When they learned the reason, all the birds were stunned and stared at the quiet mountain in amazement.
The corpses of the three immortal demons were still crawling there.
A military flag killed a great demon in the third immortal realm!
And such military flags… If they remember correctly, they have already planted more than 30 flags! Moreover, every once in a while, they would come and plant a few more, and plant all the mountains with dense energy of heaven and earth in the east and west areas of 5,000 miles outside the pass! "These, these are all the battle flags of that young man!"
"He, he wants to turn this 5,000-mile area into his territory?!"
Many birds in the Tianji Palace were trembling with fear and palpitations.
They were already somewhat unable to comprehend the young man's strength and abilities.
The red bird transformed into a girl in a red dress, but her pretty little face was full of horror.
She works in intelligence and is well-informed. She has seen many geniuses and evildoers in the Dayu Divine Dynasty over the past hundred years.
However, the brilliant hundred years in the past were not as good as what we saw in this short year! The terrifying sight of that astonishing young man, even though he was thousands of miles away, seemed to still release tremendous majesty and suppress the world!
She suddenly understood why the young man dared to come to the border alone.
That is not good news for them, the demons, but good news for that young man.
He is far more brutal and terrifying than what was said in Qingzhou, just like a fierce god that has escaped from a cage, truly releasing his sharp edge and claws! "Quick, inform them not to get close to this flag. We will find someone to carry one back later to see what kind of sword formation is on this flag."
The girl in the red dress said hurriedly.
The numerous flying birds were awed and quickly dispersed.
…
In the small fenced courtyard.
A panel prompt appeared in front of Li Hao's eyes, and he saw that the number of marks jumped from 35/180 to 34/180.
I immediately realized that one of the marks had been destroyed.
Li Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately asked his dark clone to go and investigate, and also asked Tianji Palace to give an explanation.
Not long after, the dark clone came back, and brought back the corpse of a third-level immortal demon.
At the same time, there was a bird demon from the Tianji Palace waiting along the way. He mistook the dark side clone for Li Hao, apologized to him, and explained the whole story.
The dark clone said nothing, but simply crushed the bird demon to death.
Tianji Palace was furious when it learned about this, but did not dare to retaliate. The next day, it sent a bird demon to ask the reason. Li Hao said that this was just the first lesson.
Actions often speak louder than words.
The bird demon who delivered the message went back trembling, and brought back Li Hao's words. Tianji Palace was shocked and angry, but helpless.
But after this incident, the Tianji Palace worked even harder to spread Li Hao's evil notoriety. Upon hearing this, the demons in the Three Immortal Realms, although half-believing and half-doubting, did not dare to really take the risk. Eventually, they slowly left the outside of the pass and chose to go somewhere else to find another way out.
Although some mountains, hills, swamps and other places outside this pass are the "ancestral lands" of many monsters.
Place of birth.
Even demons have feelings and dependence on the place where they were born.
But they knew that during the time when the young man was guarding Tianmen Pass, this ancestral land did not belong to them.
Fortunately, these demons have long lifespans and are more patient than humans. When they come back after decades or even hundreds of years, the young man will most likely have left.
For some great demons, a hundred years is just a period of seclusion and cultivation.
It became increasingly quiet outside the pass.
Only the empty landscape remains.
There are no demons or monsters for thousands of miles outside the Great Wall. Only the occasional small demon wanders around unaware of the situation.
…
Time flies.
After the spring rain, the hot summer comes.
Cangya City became more and more prosperous, with more and more people coming and going.
In the scorching summer, there were a few pedestrians and a merchant caravan on the Longguan Road leading to Cangya City.
And a few dozen miles outside Longguan Road, in a dense forest.
A huge and bloated demon crawled out of the dense forest.
Soon, it saw the broad and snow-white Longguan Road ahead, and its eyes showed a bloodthirsty look.
Just as it was about to crawl forward, an old tree in the dense forest suddenly spoke up and said, "Don't go any further."
"Um?"
The demon stopped and turned to look at the old tree demon who made the sound. If the other party hadn't spoken, it would not have noticed.
Its expression changed slightly, and it asked coldly: "What?"
The old tree demon said hoarsely: "Go further and you will reach Longguan Road."
"Humph, what's the point of talking about the Dao? What about the Longguan Dao?"
The bloated demon snorted.
"Once we reach Longguan Road, we can't go any further. That's the territory of the human race!" sighed the old tree demon.
"Human race?"
"Hasn't this road already been the territory of my demons? How dare this human come here?"
"You're from out of state, right?"
The old tree demon swung its branches slightly, as if shaking its head, and said, "The situation you are talking about is a thing of the past. There are no demons over there now. There are only corpses of us demons, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"
"Um?"
The bloated demon frowned and looked towards the Longguan Road, but he only saw some delicious humans, like walking desserts.
"Did you see that flag?"
The old tree demon swung its branches and pointed to a military flag on a high rock beside the Longguan Road. "When you see that military flag, leave quickly. The strong smell of human blood on you will bring you death."
"Humph, you're just playing tricks on me. Do you think you can scare me with just a military flag?"
The bloated demon sneered: "Don't mention the military flag. My entire army has eaten it. Old man, if you weren't so skinny, I would have eaten you as a snack!"
Having said that, he was too lazy to pay any more attention and rushed straight towards Longguan Road.
"Grandpa, it doesn't listen to you."
A small branch next to the old tree demon shook and said.
The old tree demon sighed and said nothing.
The bloated demon had already rushed to Longguan Road and was rapidly rushing towards the figures at the end of his sight.
Its eyes were filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent, and the wind created by its body blew up the battle flag drooping on the high rock next to it.
But just as it was approaching rapidly, a breeze suddenly swept in.
In this hot summer, the breeze brings coolness and passes through the bloated monster.
"this……"
The bloated demon's pupils suddenly shrank and he wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
Its body suddenly split open, its internal organs scattered all over the ground, and blood flowed.
The breeze seemed to come from Cangya City at the end of Longguan Road.
It was like the sword energy that the young man casually swung out a year ago, killing the demon that year, hovering on this official road, and after a year, it blew back to the past...
