Chapter 143: The knife with only the handle left, guess
Who is the Sword Demon?
No one knew him twenty years ago, but he suddenly appeared and suppressed Wuwei Ke, who was ranked third on the Heavenly List at that time, and became famous throughout the world. In that battle, he displayed his strange and devilish swordsmanship, and even cut off a thousand-foot mountain with one sword, so he was revered as the Sword Demon.
Although he ranks third on the Heavenly List, in the eyes of many swordsmen, the Sword Demon just has too few battle records, otherwise he might have been able to directly win the first place.
pity.
After killing Wuwei Ke that year, the Sword Demon disappeared again without a trace.
Until recently, he came out again.
And he did something great right after he came out of retirement.
Half a month ago.
The Sword Demon appeared in Shizhou and fought with the Ice Soul Sword Girl who was ranked 31st on the Heavenly List. It couldn't even be called a battle, but rather a one-sided crushing. With just one sword strike, the Ice Soul Sword Girl was seriously injured and defeated. She was horrified and unable to face that devilish and cautious sword, and a shadow formed in her heart.
Then the Sword Demon floated away, seeming a little disappointed.
Countless swordsmen were excited.
Ever since the battle of swords and sabers came to an end, the swordsmen have been feeling somewhat deflated and unable to raise their heads. It was not until the civil war between the two peerless swordsmen Wenxin Sword and Tianjian Zhenren some time ago that they felt a little better. And now, they are finally qualified to stand up.
"Senior Sword Demon came out of the mountain, it must be for the glory of us swordsmen!"
"The swordsmen have been too arrogant recently. It seems that even Senior Dao Mo can't stand it anymore. Is this move to challenge all the swordsmen in the world?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really exciting!"
Countless swordsmen are eagerly waiting.
But what happened next left all the swordsmen dumbfounded.
The Sword Demon appeared in Yunzhou.
He found the old man Xin Dao who was ranked 26th on the Heavenly List.
It’s the same knife.
The old man Xindao was seriously injured and retreated.
But old man Xindao is over 700 years old. He is a world-renowned master of swordsmanship with many students all over the world. Even several peerless swordsmen who rank ahead of him have to give him face. Now he is being treated so mercilessly that it is a little difficult for him to accept it for a while, and he couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.
Unexpectedly, the Sword Demon did not tolerate it at all.
With another blow of the sword, the old man with the heart knife was killed, and then he went down the mountain and left.
So far.
The whole world was in an uproar.
Everyone discovered that this Sword Demon was indeed somewhat evil. The sword masters were all stunned. They originally thought that the Sword Demon came out to bring honor to the sword masters, but now it seems that he does not distinguish between friend and foe and treats everyone equally.
The Sword Demon’s challenge is still going on, almost once every half a month, and each time the challenger’s ranking is moving forward.
After removing the swordsman filter.
Countless people began to study the purpose of the Sword Demon.
After all, judging from his current behavior, this matter will never stop.
So why would the Sword Demon challenge the most powerful person in the world?
Every warrior was curious. Many of them searched through ancient books for the answer, while some couldn't help but look for the origin of the Sword Demon.
finally.
Some people have discovered some clues.
"Have you noticed the hilt in the Sword Demon's hand? Twenty years ago, this was a broken sword. I was lucky enough to see the battle between Wuweike and the Sword Demon back then, and the sword was still half broken! I don't know if it's my illusion, but after these challenges, the hilt in the Sword Demon's hand seems to be getting shorter!"
"Could it be that the Sword Demon wants to test his sword with the strongest people in the world? Then why doesn't he specifically look for strong sword masters?"
"It is rumored that the Sword Demon learned sword skills in his early years, and then switched to sword skills. Looking at the several strong men he is challenging now, they are all swordsmen and swordsmen. This rumor may be true!"
Countless people are discussing it.
This is the big thing of persistence.
There would be a big battle every half a month. Even if it was just a one-sided crushing by the Sword Demon, it would still be a grand event.
Some curious people have already figured out who the Sword Demon will challenge each time based on his movements and are waiting in ambush in advance.
The world was in an uproar, and most attention was drawn to this matter.
Even Ning Qi, who was in the Dao Seeking Institute, had heard about it.
Luo Wentian came all the way to tell him this, and this matter was also somewhat related to Ning Qi.
"A knife with only the handle left?" Ning Qi looked a little surprised.
He roughly guessed the Sword Demon's purpose.
"That knife is his sword path. When even the handle disappears one day, it will be the supreme realm where everything can be a knife. Does the Sword Demon want to use the strongest people in the world as a whetstone to help his sword path complete the last step?"
"Could it be... that he wants to use this to break through the bottleneck of martial sainthood?"
Ning Qi raised his eyebrows.
A strong man like Dao Mo must have reached the realm of heaven and man perfection, or he may have been stuck for many years. This is the method he came up with to break through the realm, but Ning Qi is not optimistic. His sword realm has long surpassed the scope of heaven and man, and he has long reached the realm where everything can be a sword, but it is unlikely to use this to break through the bottleneck of Martial Saint.
But he did not make a arbitrary judgment. Perhaps the Sword Demon had other plans.
He was just a little curious, and if possible, it would be best if they could communicate with each other.
Luo Wentian was a little worried:
"Xiao Jiu, judging from the path the Sword Demon is taking, it won't be long before he comes to Zhenwu Mountain to challenge you. Are you sure?"
Many eyes in the world were attracted by the affairs of the Sword Demon, but they did not know that undercurrents were surging in the states of Dayan, and the struggle between the imperial court and the southern border of the Demon Sect was taking place everywhere.
True Man Tianjian has never been defeated, which is a great deterrent to the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang.
If they were defeated by the Sword Demon, their deterrent power would be greatly reduced. He was afraid that the Southern Border of the Demon Sect would take other actions as a result. After all, the Zhenwu Sect had been secretly assisting the imperial court in recent days, and the conflict with the Southern Border of the Demon Sect had reached an irreconcilable point.
Ning Qi smiled faintly and comforted Luo Wentian:
"Don't worry, big brother. If an enemy comes, we will stop him with our troops and if a flood comes, we will block it with earth."
Two or three months passed.
Ning Qi's strength has improved further, and he is getting closer and closer to the realm of heaven and man.
Now he can be said to be invincible in the realm of heaven and man.
As long as the Sword Demon is still in the realm of heaven and man, he has nothing to fear.
And if the Sword Demon moves slower and waits until he reaches the Heavenly Man Realm before challenging him, there will be no suspense at all.
but.
He was actually looking forward to meeting this sword demon, perhaps it would give him some inspiration.
Luo Wentian listened.
The worry on his face gradually dissipated. He was a little amazed in his heart and had a better understanding of Ning Qi's strength. Since his ninth junior brother said so, he must be sure.
"In that case, I feel relieved. From now on, I will keep an eye on the movements of the Sword Demon and tell you the first time I have any news." Luo Wentian said.
Ning Qi nodded:
"Big Brother, how are the results of our actions against the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang?"
Luo Wentian thought for a moment and said:
"In recent days, our Zhenwu sect has begun to shrink its disciples. Most of them are practicing in Zhenwu Mountain, and the remaining elite disciples are sent out to participate in the actions of the imperial court. In the past few months, we have indeed gained some results."
"Several strongholds in Southern Xinjiang were secretly destroyed, but with the help of the Demon Sect, Southern Xinjiang was also alert and did not find any trace of the Blood King Gu."
"As for the Demon Sect, the imperial court followed the clue of the exotic beast inner elixirs and found several Demon Sect bases through black market auctions and other channels. It is almost certain that the Demon Sect's method of achieving martial sainthood is related to this. However, the Demon Sect is very cautious, and most of the exotic beast inner elixirs may have been transferred and obtained from the Shiwan Mountains."
Ning Qi pondered.
The effect can only be said to be neither big nor small. It slowed down the pace of the two forces to a certain extent, but there were no crucial gains.
but.
He guessed it too.
The Demon Sect has been planning for thousands of years, so they must have been extremely careful. Moreover, they have been entangled with Dayan for so many years, and you are in me and I am in you, so it is not so easy to deal with.
"The Demon Sect is difficult to deal with. Perhaps we can start from southern Xinjiang as much as possible. If possible, try to get one or two Blood King Gu." Ning Qi said softly.
He is thinking.
If I could get another Blood King Gu, could I use it to sense the location of other Blood King Gu, and follow the clues to capture all of them in Southern Xinjiang?
He had obtained two Blood King Gu before, but at that time he was not strong enough and was worried about being hunted by Southern Xinjiang, so he chose to refine them as soon as possible. But now, he hopes to find a place in Southern Xinjiang where Blood Emperor Gu is cultivated.
The offensive and defensive situations change, that's all.
The best defense is to attack instead of defend.
But no matter how strong you are, if you can't find the enemy, you can only punch the air.
Luo Wentian nodded seriously:
"Okay, I will convey this to General Shenyu and the others."
He didn't ask Ning Qi why. Since Ning Qi said it, it must be useful, so he chose to believe it.
Without disturbing Ning Qi for too long, Luo Wentian talked about the recent situation and then left.
He knew that everything the Zhenwu Sect was doing now was just to assist Ning Qi, and the real key lay with Ning Qi.
Ning Qi stared at Luo Wentian's back and shook his head slightly to put this little episode aside.
The affairs of the Sword Demon were indeed exciting, but even if he really came to Zhenwu Mountain, it would not affect him.
The most urgent task now is to advance to the Heavenly Man Realm as soon as possible.
Ning Qi used the secret technique of the unity of man and nature, and in an instant he resonated with the power of heaven and earth, forming a great mill to forge his spirit.
To this day.
The art of the unity of man and nature is as easy for Ning Qi as breathing and drinking water. After he stepped into the Yuandan realm and began to temper his spirit, he discovered that the stronger his 'spirit' is, the stronger the power of heaven and earth he can mobilize through the art of the unity of man and nature. This is also the reason why Ning Qi's strength has been growing.
While Ning Qi was training his spirit, he was also thinking about his cultivation after reaching the Heavenly Man Realm.
If he wants to maintain the same ability to cross boundaries as he does now after entering the realm of heaven and man, it will not be that easy and will require a lot of hard work.
"The reason why I am now much stronger than those in the same realm and can easily beat the celestial beings is, firstly, because my own foundation is too strong. Both my physical body and my inner energy are beyond the reach of ordinary people. The second key point is the secret technique of the unity of heaven and man. This is equivalent to allowing me to control part of the power of the celestial being realm in advance, so that I can partially level the celestial being realm."
“But if I advance to the Heavenly Man Realm, things will be different. The Heavenly Man Unity Secret Technique will not have any advantages. What I can rely on is my own incomparably strong foundation and a series of powerful secret techniques.”
"But at that time, can I fight against the Martial Saint or even kill him with my Heavenly Man Realm body?"
Ning Qi had a question mark in his mind for the time being.
There is no doubt that after he is promoted to the Heaven and Man Realm, with his own foundation, the power of heaven and earth that resonates with him will be absolutely beyond imagination, which can make his combat power soar. However, whether this can make up for the gap between the Heaven and Man Realm and the Martial Saint Realm is still unknown.
"For a martial saint to refine the power of heaven and earth for his own use is definitely a leap in the nature of power. If you want to make up for the qualitative gap, you must fill it with massive amounts."
"So, my idea should be to control as much power of heaven and earth as possible. If I can control the power of heaven and earth ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times more than the power of heaven and earth that a person in the Heaven Realm can perfectly control, then why should I worry about not being able to suppress them with quantity?"
A flash of inspiration appeared in Ning Qi's mind.
This is the direction of his thinking.
"The secret art of the unity of heaven and man has allowed me to control the power of heaven and earth in advance. After entering the realm of heaven and man, can I further improve it and combine the 'invisible root bone' and the 'tangible Yuandan' in my body to increase the amount of power of heaven and earth I control?"
This is very feasible.
Ning Qi has been deducing various paths and will start creating his own method once he is promoted to the Heavenly Man Realm.
In addition to the secret technique of the unity of man and nature.
He was also pondering the practice of the Heavenly Realm and constantly perfecting the Secret Record of All Things.
"The cultivation of the Heavenly Man Realm is to condense the three flowers: the flower of essence, the flower of qi, and the flower of spirit. They are also called the three flowers of heaven, earth, and man. In fact, there are traces to follow. The flower of essence corresponds to the Body Tempering Realm, the flower of qi corresponds to the Gang Yuan Realm, and the flower of spirit corresponds to the Heavenly Man Realm."
“When the three flowers are perfected, it means the perfection of the Heavenly Man Realm. Only when the three flowers are cultivated together can there be hope of stepping into the realm of Martial Saint.”
“However, in the era when there were no Martial Saints, many Heavenly Man Realm warriors gave up the cultivation of the Three Flowers in order to pursue a stronger fighting force, and only cultivated one realm. For example, Wang Quan, the ancestor of the Qingzhou Wang family, specialized in cultivating the Flower of Essence.”
"In fact, the manifestations of specializing in one path will be somewhat different, but the essence is the same, which is to leverage the more majestic power of heaven and earth."
"For example, the Flower of Essence uses the power of heaven and earth to polish the body, and finally resonates with the power of heaven and earth with the body, making the close combat ability extremely strong. This is the case with the Arhat Vajra of Buddhism. Among the swordsmen and knifemen, some warriors specialize in the Flower of the God, and can resonate with the power of heaven and earth with the sword intent and knife intent, and are extremely lethal."
"Practicing only one realm is a shortcut, but I naturally cannot do that. Practicing all three realms is the right way."
"However, there are also some requirements for how to cultivate the three flowers faster. My body is strong and unprecedented. Perhaps I can use the Heavenly Thunder Method to condense the flower of essence..."
Ning Qi thought about it.
Countless inspirations appear in my mind.
Although he has not yet set foot in the realm of heaven and man, the realm of heaven and man no longer has many secrets for him. One reason is the secret art of the unity of heaven and man, and the other is that Ning Qi has obtained many secret records of heaven and man, which contain detailed records for his reference.
…
Time passes slowly.
The turmoil caused by the Sword Demon in the world is becoming more and more serious.
Countless eyes converged.
In front of Luofu Mountain.
Countless people have been waiting here in advance. If the Sword Demon appears here next, it means that they have successfully speculated on the Sword Demon's route.
Luofu Sword Master's expression was extremely ugly.
The more famous Tianjian Zhenren became during this period, the more uncomfortable he felt, because the incident of borrowing a sword from Zhenwu Mountain became a background board for Tianjian Zhenren, and every time he was mentioned, he sounded like a clown.
And now.
He is about to face the challenge of the Sword Demon.
Facing this terrifying sword demon, it was impossible for him not to be afraid. He had even planned to hide away for a while, but now that everyone was waiting here, he could no longer have this idea, otherwise he would not be able to hold his head up in the future.
He took a deep breath.
I can only hope that the Sword Demon doesn't come.
But what a pity.
He was doomed to be disappointed.
Accompanied by excited and noisy voices, everyone's eyes were focused on that one place. An old man with messy hair walked over barefoot with a knife handle on his waist.
Luofu Sword Master looked unhappy.
He took a deep breath and prepared for the fight.
But what greeted them was an extremely terrifying sword light, which was extremely evil and made people sink.
…
Without a doubt.
Luofu Sword Master, who was ranked 21st on the Heavenly List, was defeated, and his defeat was extremely tragic. He was unable to withstand a single blow from the Sword Demon.
Fortunately, he suppressed his anger, as the fate of the old man Xindao was still before his eyes.
So far.
The sword demon's power became more and more terrifying.
The swordsmen were all excited.
Countless people are discussing it.
They were all wondering who could block the Sword Demon's second sword.
Nineteenth on the Heavenly List.
eighteenth.
sixteenth.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
One by one, the strong men were defeated.
Still no one could block that knife.
But no one relaxed at all. Instead, they became more enthusiastic and expectant than ever before.
Just because.
Following the route of the Sword Demon.
The next one is Master Tianjian!
Previously, Master Tianjian had killed the Sword of Questioning the Heart, so he automatically took over the Sword of Questioning the Heart's ranking and ranked fourteenth.
The fifteenth person on the Heavenly Man List is not a swordsman or a swordsman.
So there is naturally no doubt about who the Sword Demon should challenge next.
This has been verified many times.
Countless people gathered towards Zhenwu Mountain.
