Chapter 43: The Path of Choice
Today's Demon Realm is a sunny day, although there will never be dawn here, but the sunny day here is the night sky with bright stars, and all kinds of stars are flowing in the sky, which is a scenery that cannot be seen in the western moon.
It's been thirty-four days since I came to the Sword God Valley, and Mi Xiu's swordsmanship guidance for Yuan Ji is still in full swing, and I don't have room to meddle at all, because I don't know the sword technique at all, so I can only guard Yuan Ji on the side.
By the way, today I received a message from Yan Wei, he and Ziyan have already arrived in the Demon Realm, and I heard that there is a powerful uncle who is here together, I believe we will be able to meet in a few days.
Also, let's tell them about being related to Yuan Ji's fingertips, and I'll tell them later.
Ximen Cangyue stopped the pen in his hand, sighed, smiled slightly, and closed the thick diary. Although he is a little girl on the outside, she is just a weak girl on the inside. Strong people tend to show their weakness when they write in a journal.
She sat at the mouth of the cave, looked up at the stars in the sky, and shuddered, "They're coming back late......
In the depths of the Valley of the Wind God, covered with all kinds of strange and craggy stones, Mixiu stood on a high rock, looking at the rock-like cliffs of the cave.
Shangguan Yuanji was hung from the cliff halfway up the mountain with his hands tied, while Mi Xiu stood on the rock thirty meters below him.
Judging from his appearance, Shangguan Yuanji was obviously very tired, his wrists were already deeply strangled, and the rope was stained red with blood.
"Yuan Ji, if you say you can't stand it now, I can let you down." Michau shouted upward.
"I can still hold on." Shangguan Yuanji gritted his teeth.
"That's right, it's only been six hours, and the uncomfortable time is still to come." Mi Xiu said, "If you want to become a truly powerful swordsman, the method of light body is indispensable, although as a wind cultivator, you already have the foundation of the method of light body, but it is far from enough. ”
"Yes...... I understand, Mr. Misho. Shangguan Yuan said breathlessly, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and his whole body was tense at the moment, as if he was on the verge of collapse at any time.
"Actually, there have been many people like me who have consulted swordsmanship, but there are few people who can really persevere." Mi Xiu said lightly.
"If others can hold on, why can't I." Shangguan Yuanji said.
"It's coming, six hours to go." Mi Xiu said with a slight smile.
Time passed minute by minute, Shangguan Yuanji didn't say a word, Mi Xiu lit a fire below, ate food, and slept. After Mi Xiu woke up, he saw that Shangguan Yuanji was still holding on to it, and couldn't help but nodded.
This son is a material that can be made, maybe he is qualified to learn the sword god technique, and after teaching him the sword god technique, I hope he can maintain the supremacy of the sword god technique. Mi Xiu sighed.
"Hey! It's already time, so don't sigh there. Shangguan Yuanji was almost hoarse, "Don't think that I can't hear you when you talk in your heart!" ”
"It seems that in addition to your physical strength, you are also very mentally strong, and you can actually use 'mental art' to probe my mind." After Mi Xiu finished speaking, Yuan Ji's wind-cutting sword appeared in his right hand, and with a slight wave, the rope on Shangguan Yuanji's body broke, and Yuan Ji fell from the sky.
"You guy! You're going to let me fall to my death!! Yuan Ji let out a scream, and the moment he landed, he stopped in mid-air.
The method of lightening the body, levitation
"It only took twelve hours to master the levitation technique, which is good." Mi Xiu said, and Shangguan Yuanji slowly fell on the rock.
"Senior Mixiu, when will you be able to teach me the sword technique, I have now mastered the method of light body." Shangguan Yuanji said.
"Do you think that if you know how to levitate, you will master the method of lightening your body?" Mi Xiu put his hands behind his back, and his eyes reflected the light of the stars in the sky, "Then you tell me first, as a monk, what are the most important points." ”
"There is no wind, the momentum is like a rainbow and the battle is invisible." Shangguan Yuanji replied.
"Okay, that's all for today's training, let's go back." After Michaeu finished speaking, he turned and left.
"Is that all? When will you start training in the sword technique? Hey, hey!! Shangguan Yuan asked stunned. These ten days of special training are all such torture training, but I haven't learned swordsmanship at all.
"When you can break through your limits in the torment, you can start the inheritance of the sword technique." Mi Xiu said from afar.
Northern part of the Wind God Valley: Cold Iron Stone Plain
On the vast stone plain, the night breeze blows, every inch of the land exudes a gloomy and cold atmosphere, the cold moonlight is sprinkled on the earth, and the shadow of every stone is as dense as a mottled human figure.
A figure rode in the cold wind, stepping through the air high in the air.
One of the Seven Demon Gods of the Black Stone Demon Clan, the "Nightmare King" Hades.
"Destination Fengshen Valley, the goal is uncertain, the wind speed is eight, the direction is southwest, the report is complete." Hades was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, with a bright red rose in his breast pocket and a white cape, handsome and elegant, like a noble prince of high society.
"That man is also there, be careful not to conflict with him, if necessary...... You can kill him. The other party who passed the jade replied.
"Understood." The noblely dressed man put away the communication jade, his legs kicked in the air again, and his body quickly merged into the wind again. In the blink of an eye, he had come to the edge of the Cold Iron Stone Plain. He landed lightly on a stone pillar.
There was already a man there on the stone pillar, as if he had been waiting for Hades. It was a man with a torn black robe wrapped around his body, and although he was not as tall as Hades, he was not weak.
"I've seen Hades reluctantly." The man said faintly.
"Ancestor Wei, you came on time." Hades said.
"I was originally on Black Snow Island, and I received an order from an adult, so I rushed here immediately." Said a man named Tsutsu.
"This mission was directly passed down by the Demon Emperor, the 'container' has reached the Demon Realm, and it will depend on necromancy to work, and we will go to the Wind God Valley in a while." Hades held a rose in his hand and sniffed the flowers.
"I think that now is not the time to sow seeds, because the demons of the 'container' are still in the bud, perhaps...... The King of the Four Charms can be a catalyst. Wei Zu said.
"You're right, maybe the Demon Emperor and I are a little anxious, let's observe and observe during this time, besides, there are still some people around him who are not easy to deal with." Hades said silently, turning and looking south.
"Yes, sir."
"Bang! Syllable! The sound of striking metal ...... constantly sounded, and from time to time it was accompanied by the sound of rocks rolling down, echoing in the Valley of the Wind God. It turned out that Shangguan Yuanji was slashing the mountain with a wind-cutting sword.
"Stinky boy! I didn't let people sleep!! Michau ran out of the cave with a look of anger on his face. Ximen Cangyue crawled out of the quilt and followed Mi Xiu out.
I saw that Shangguan Yuanji didn't say a word, and he didn't even look back, just slashing with his sword, and there were already countless sword marks on the rock wall of the mountain, and the rubble was rolling down.
"Don't you understand! Sword tricks are not something that can be mastered by brute force! The most important thing is to master the mind! Michaeu said.
"Shipwreck! Open the mountain and break the river! That's the sword trick I want! I never thought about doing any boring physical workout every day! Shangguan Yuanji shouted, he turned around, "Mr. Mixiu, my time is short, I need strength, I want to be stronger." ”
"I have a short temper, I can never be the heir to the Sword Divine Technique, I have two s......words," Mi Xiu said, stretching out his hands, and two swords appeared, one was a large heavy sword and the other was a medium-sized straight sword. The heavy sword is the magic sword Athomus, and the straight sword is the artifact Shadow Demon, of course, the Shadow Demon, as the head of the thirteen artifacts, is much more powerful than the magic sword. ”
"It's ...... What's wrong. Ximen Cangyue couldn't understand what these two people were doing.
"Artifact...... Shadow Demon. Shangguan Yuanji looked at the two swords in Mi Xiu's hands, and his body trembled.
"As a true swordsman, you don't care what sword you use, even if you use an ordinary iron sword, you can kill the enemy." After Mi Xiu finished speaking, with a wave of his right hand, the Shadow Demon was thrown in front of Shangguan Yuanji, and steadily inserted into the ground, "The exaggeration of this sword is too great, since you are so eager for fame and fortune, I will give it to you." ”
"Mr. Misho, I'm sorry I went too far." Yuan Ji muttered, "I just want to become strong as soon as possible and gain the power to save the human race." ”
"With your qualifications and talents, it's not difficult to do, the hard thing is that you can control your heart, and you have to always remember that." After Mi Xiu finished speaking, he walked back to the cave, "The Shadow Demon is up to you, continue to train, and find your target." ”
Keep grinding, you're still just a kid, and one day you'll feel that the most important thing is the people around you. Mi Xiu let out a long sigh and walked into the cave.
Shangguan Yuanji was there now, motionless and stunned, the wind cutting sword in his hand was buzzing, and he knelt on the ground, "Did I really do something wrong?" ”
Ximen Cangyue walked up to her side, "Are you okay?" ”
Yuan Ji stretched out his hands and looked at his hands, the strangulation marks on his wrists had not receded, "I have been called a genius since I was a child, others look up to me, maybe I grew up in such a pompous world, I really found the wrong direction." He said stunned.
The Shadow Demon was right in front of him, and Yuan Ji looked up at the artifact, and a sense of evil suddenly rose in his heart.
The first of the thirteen artifacts! Shadow Demons! This artifact is made of the same Nine Heavens Meteorite Iron as the Red Emperor Charm, but the only difference is that the Red Emperor Charm is made of the leftover materials of the Nine Heavens Meteorite Iron used by the ghost and god craftsman Tie Qiusheng, while the Shadow Demon is an artifact created by the Alchemy Master in the Terrifying Ancient Era, and has an ancient power beyond the reach of the Red Emperor Charm.
Legend has it that the Shadow Demon is not something that everyone can control, because the sword is sealed with the devil.
"What should I do, Yue'er?" Yuan Ji looked at Ximen Cangyue.
"No matter what happens next, I'll always be with you." Ximen Cangyue hugged Yuan Ji's head and said slowly
