Chapter 8: The Eve of the Great War
The sky was getting dark, and Chu Xiong had already completed the demon blood bath in the hidden place near the camp of his own side. The blood essence of this Great Demon is almost comparable to Scourge, and it is far stronger than her son, the Four Rings Zhuqian.
With a bewitching guard by his side, Chu Xiong was at ease. He took out the crystal clear demon crystal and sighed that his fate was good. With his current strength, a demon crystal of the Five-Ring Great Demon could potentially send him to the peak of the three-star and third-ring demons. Of course, this is only "possible", if you want to be safe, you still need more than six rings. And this Zhuqian Demon Crystal, that is a real seven-ring demon thing.
Swallowing it, a cloud of energy spread out from his belly and rushed into his meridians. This energy followed the meridians, nourishing and strengthening his bones. The crackling sound kept ringing, and with bursts of pain, Chu Xiong's bones were significantly strengthening at a perceptible speed.
After strengthening the bones around his body, the remaining huge part of the energy was gradually swallowed by the Heavenly Breath in his body and transformed into his own star soul power. However, the Yin Dimensional Vein that has just been opened up will be filled with no room for it. Superior three-star soul martial arts, plus third-ring beast demons. Chu Xiong's actual combat power was by no means inferior to that of a medium four-star soul martial artist.
And now a special feature is that the high-grade three-star and three-ring can both have 6,000 points of star soul power or demon power. In other words, Chu Xiong's overall combat power is already equivalent to 12,000 star soul power. As long as he was willing, he would already be able to unleash the highest killing skill of the improved Xuantian Sword, which was equivalent to the seventh rank. Of course, it is finally the first layer of the mental method of "Dragon Soul Xuanluo Knife" - the dragon soul is born!
Old man, it's been a long time since I've fought alongside you! Chu Xiong was secretly happy in his heart. Since his reincarnation, he has not reached the strength to cast the Dragon Soul in the world. Because although "Dragon Soul Xuanluo Knife" is strong, the requirements are also extremely high. Only when you reach 10,000 points of Star Soul Power can you cast the first layer, and every time you rise 10,000 points, you can perform the next layer of Mental Technique.
Of course, the Dragon Soul Xuanluo Knife was too sensitive, and Chu Xiong still didn't want to announce it to the world before he made sure that he had the power to protect himself. Fortunately, the improved "Xuantian Knife" is also equivalent to a seventh-level killing skill.
Just when Chu Xiong's heart was too empty, a strange feeling arose in his body. Demon crystal bone refining, I thought it was the easiest process, but I didn't expect that there would be something else!
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Chu Xiong's expression was wrong, Youda immediately asked.
"It's a little weird! How can my first star vein and my third star vein have a feeling of pulling each other? The star soul power in the two star veins seems to be in a hurry to communicate through a few ordinary human connections. Chu Xiong asked puzzledly, "But it doesn't matter, I can control this connection." β
"Wouldn't it be so humane?" said Enchantress, "Your first one is thanks to the Four Rings of the Gandhar, and the third is thanks to its mother, the Seven Rings of the Gandhi. Is there a connection between their mother and son?" Speaking of which, even Youda couldn't say any more, this reason was too far-fetched.
"It's okay, I can control it anyway, hehe! Go back, the battalion is without our chief and deputy commander, and it is estimated that it will be in a hurry." Chu Xiong said with a smile. For the understanding of the meridians, for the turnover of internal force or star soul power in the veins, Chu Xiong is indeed extremely skilled. In general, the two general questions must not be difficult for him.
As soon as the two returned to the camp, they saw that many people were anxious, and when they saw the two of them, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great Protector, Great Guest, as a commander, you can't be so lightly in danger!" said Mi Hong, the master of the Wind Hall, "Even if you don't think about your own safety, you have to think about the entire sect." β
Mi Hong's words are a bit unpleasant, but they are true. Chu Xiong is not a person who cares about small sections, so he didn't say anything with a smile. Enchanting nodded, "What the master of the Mi Hall suggested is that I will pay attention to it in the future." By the way, nothing major happened during the time we left just now, right?"
"That's why I said it so ugly!" Mi Hong said helplessly, "Not long after you left, a seven-ring demon flew over murderouslyβit was the one who led the beast demon to attack our sect. The three of us hall masters joined forces to contain it! Later, a first-class six-ring demon came, and we were all a little nervous. Who knows, the six-ring demon actually asked the Qianqian to go back. The great demon was angry, but he seemed to have something to worry about, so he hated to leave. β
It turned out that Zhu Qian was so angry that he secretly disobeyed Zhu Yan's order and came here without authorization. Later, when Zhu Yan found out, he sent a six-ring demon to summon all the Qianhui demon robbers. The seven-ring demon is a capable leader, and Zhu Yan can't tolerate losing another one before the big war.
"I killed its wife, it's here to seek revenge, hehe!" said Youda indifferently, and walked with Chu Xiong to the Chinese army's tent. However, seeing her so calm and elegant, the master of the third hall was extremely surprised. Because they have seen the female Zhuqian in the sect, she is also a seven-ring demon. Before this battle began, it was easily understood by the Great Protector, and it has to be said that it was a great joy. And after this news spread, the disciples of the Youyue Sect were even more happy. What is the seven-ring demon, under the hands of the great protector, he still can't help fighting.
"Why, I see you're still a little worried? That's not your character. Looking at Chu Xiong in front of him, Youda said lightly. In her mind, Chu Xiong will always be the person who is not afraid of heaven and earth and is always optimistic. But since the start of this war, Chu Xiong has been a little dignified.
"Have you found out, you are now faintly the spiritual pillar of the entire sect!" Chu Xiong smiled bitterly, "Originally, this was a good thing. But on the eve of the Great War, there were some troubles. β
"Why is that? Isn't that just right for everyone to trust Senior Sister Da? If you don't have any faith, I think it's the real trouble. Yuqi was nibbling on a roasted sweet potato that she got out of nowhere, and there was no lady at all. "Xiaoqing, give you half. β
"Don't harm Qing Dai, look at you like that!" Youda laughed lightly and asked, "Xiong, what do you mean?"
Chu Xiong said: "Since you have become everyone's spiritual pillar, you can't allow it to collapse." Even one defeat would cause uncontrollable chaos for the entire army. Those who are pushed up to the altar cannot come down easily. But you think, how can there be anything in this world that can't be defeated?"
It does make sense. Youda suddenly felt that her shoulders seemed to be under great pressure. This kind of pressure is even more depressing than a real battle.
"So, in the future, whenever it is a public battle, you have to be extra careful. What I'm most worried about now is a fight between you and Zhu Yan. Chu Xiong said solemnly, "According to rumors outside, Zhu Yan has long been a medium eight-ring demon, who knows if it has advanced now? What's even more bizarre is that I heard that this Zhu Yan actually stole the treasure of the Xinghan Sect's Zhenzong - 'Blood Spear'! This 'Blood Gun' is the best of the seventh-rank killing skills, not much worse than your 'Xuantian Yi Sword'. I thought you could use the advantage of killing skills to fight him to a draw. But now it seems that the problem is a little troublesome again. β
These high-level officials have heard about Zhu Yan's stealing of the killing technique "Blood Gun", so they are not very shocked. However, Chu Xiong's analysis made everyone a little depressed.
"Then what do you say?" Yuqi asked, "Except for Senior Sister Da, no one else is Zhu Yan's opponent. β
Chu Xiong said, "Drag it out as much as possible." In short, avoid the head-on conflict between Da and Zhu Yan. As long as Zhu Yan makes a move, our side will use the tactics of crowds and besiege him to the death. And Da is on the other side, fighting with all her might to kill the other beasts and demons in the Demon Tribulation Pass. As long as we don't fight head-to-head, even if we lose more, at least everyone's confidence in Da will not collapse. β
This method is almost tricky, but it can really be implemented. Yu Qi smiled: "I knew you would have a way, hey! Don't keep scaring us with a stuffy face in the future, as if it was serious." β
"Xiong's words are not serious at all, because I really feel a lot of pressure!"
"I'll go too!" Yu Qi raised her hand, grabbed Chu Xiong's arm and rushed out of the tent. This girl is simply a tail that can't be shaken off.
......
The next morning, the sun had not yet appeared, but the sky had already turned white.
More than five hundred Soul Martial Beast Demons of the Youyue Sect were lined up neatly, looking at the Demon Tribulation Pass two miles away in front of them, and the gentle and long slope paved by the boulders in front of the pass. In order to make trouble for the Youyue Sect, Zhu Yan and other big demons also tried to destroy this slope. But this Demon Tribulation Pass condensed the star soul power of the Nine Star Heavenly Martial Arts of the Ancient Dynasties, and it was also blessed with divine power, how could it be so easy to destroy? Therefore, after exhausting all kinds of methods to no avail, he could only give up with hatred.
At the end of the Demon Tribulation, there were six guys who turned into human forms - all of them were above the level of the seven-ring demon. Moreover, these six people did not include Zhu Yan, because both Youda and Chu Xiong felt Zhu Yan's breath yesterday and could identify it. So this kind of strength is already extremely strong.
In addition, the beast-shaped demon of ** was waiting on the tall city wall, and burst out with great might. The big demons were all tall, like small mountains. It's as if as long as they squat there, they are castles of flesh and blood. Although the demonic aura of these guys is not as good as those who incarnate in human form, there are many of them, and the overall momentum is still extraordinary.
"Fortunately, I killed that female Zhuqian yesterday, otherwise the other party would have seven seven-ring demons. Chu Xiong said with a smile. Before the Great War, he was cautious at every turn. But when he really wants to start fighting, he is prone to an indifferent mentality. This is the mentality accumulated by the fourth generation, and others can't learn it.
Even the remaining six are much better than ours. Yu Qi pouted and said in a low voice, "I'm a parallel commodity now, and besides me, we don't have a seven-star or seven-ring here!"
It's rare that she can vividly use the word "parallel import". Following Chu Xiong, she learned a lot of fresh vocabulary.
"It's okay! When it comes to the Demon Tribulation Pass, all the big demons have descended to a big realm. Therefore, the six-star soul martial arts on our side can face those seven-ring demons head-on. Chu Xiong smiled, "So, the gap is not as big as you think." β
"However, people still have a condescending advantage!" Yuqi was still unconvinced.
Chu Xiong smiled: "But we also have other preparations, hehe!"
"What preparation?"
"You'll find out in a moment. β
"Cut!" Yuqi held out his right middle finger high.
"Girl, don't use this action in the future. Chu Xiong had a black line on his head, and secretly hated Yuqi's learning ability was too strong, but he couldn't explain the specific meaning of this gesture to her.
