Gao Zhiyuan pulled out the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, held the sword in his right hand, and protected himself with his left hand, and a true qi stabbed towards the nearest blood bat. At this time, Gao Zhiyuan had already cultivated the Shaoyang Jue to the fourth layer, and his control of the True Qi had reached the point of doing whatever he wanted, and he was close to the True Qi level. A Shaoyang True Qi was released, condensed but not dispersed, and turned into sword qi with the help of the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, with red heat, and instantly split a blood bat in half.

The dead blood bat fell to the ground, and a dragon's eye-sized demon core glowed with a dark red light and rolled out.

Suddenly, there was a loud cry, and hundreds of bats flew down. Gao Zhiyuan used his Shaoyang True Qi with all his might, and the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick performed two styles, "Traces and Shadows", and the dance was impermeable, blocking them.

The two styles of Mystery and Shadow are both known for their speed, and the two styles work together, and they immediately protect Gao Zhiyuan's body in the sword light.

Shaoyang Jue is the pure heart method of Taoism, which has a restraint effect on evil demons, those blood bats can't stand the pure yang qi, and they can't attack it for a while, but Gao Zhiyuan can't kill them, and the hundreds of blood bats keep circling around him, and the situation is stalemate for a while.

Cultivation is not congenital, can not be turned from the inside to the outside, after a long time, the true qi will definitely be poor, it will let the blood bat take advantage of the void to enter, Shaoyang true qi can only protect itself, can not hurt the enemy, but just can try the three forms of burning the heart that have just been practiced.

The mind is certain, the palm force retreats, the true qi soars, with a fanatical breath, wandering all over the body, suddenly it is like a fire, in the dark hole is extremely dazzling, the luck short sword, the snow-white sword body also turns red.

The blood bats around the body were suddenly frightened by the firelight, scattered and fled, Gao Zhiyuan's momentum has been completed, a type of "Heavenly Fire Burning City" is like a fire dragon, rolling around, suddenly bursts of scorching smell came, many blood bats were swept by the fire dragon.

Although the blood bat has rough skin and thick flesh, it is a cold thing, and it lives in the cave all the year round, and this pure and yang heart-burning secret is their nemesis, and after being swept away by the fire, it crackles and falls to the ground.

Since Gao Zhiyuan perfected this formula, there has been no opportunity to experiment, this time with all his strength, even Gao Zhiyuan himself was startled by the power of this "Heavenly Fire Burning City", but the true qi in the whole body has been drained by one-third, the body is like a fire, the true qi is boiling, the blood spit out is red-hot, dare not stay longer, the body method is fully expanded, wandering around, and in a short time, sixty or seventy demon cores were collected, and they escaped from the trial cave.

Seven or eight people had already come out of the cave, and the two innate cultivators had already come out, and their expressions were calm, and they seemed quite relaxed. Gao Zhiyuan's true qi was a little exhausted, and his face was also a little embarrassed, so he handed over the demon core to Senior Brother Li, and sat on the ground, resting cross-legged.

Senior Brother Li took the demon core, looked at it, put it aside, and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

After a short time, there were people who came out of the trial cave one after another, some with excited faces, some with depressed heads, but without exception they were all wounded. Just when the hour was approaching, another person rushed out of the trial cave, it was that Ji Xuan.

I saw that he looked embarrassed, with blood at the corners of his mouth, and his clothes were torn, but there were no external injuries, and from the tears in his clothes, he could see the golden light flashing inside, obviously wearing a high-quality inner armor, and then looking at the long sword in his hand, there was a faint treasure light flowing on the blade, the cold air was pressing, and there was blood dripping from the sword body, it seemed that he was fighting his way out of the encirclement with two divine weapons.

Senior Brother Li nodded to Ji Xuan, did not speak, and acquiesced to pass the assessment with a divine weapon, and the magic weapon of a person who practices martial arts is also part of his strength.

"Okay, the time has come," Senior Brother Li opened his eyes, stood up, slowly looked at the few people who came out, and reported the assessment results: "Of the ninety-seven disciples who participated in the assessment this time, fourteen were hesitant, thirty-six passed, twenty-eight did not get the required number of demon cores, and nineteen died. ”

Senior Brother Li's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "Fourteen people who gave up blasted out of the Three Holy Sects will not be allowed to take another half step for the rest of their lives, and those who die will make up for three pills of their family's innocence, and the rest will be given a blood coagulation pill for them to heal. Those who pass the assessment will report to the Ming Palace at noon tomorrow. ”

The color of the blood coagulation pill is red, but there is a trace of coolness in the hand, it is obviously a healing medicine, most of the people are injured, and many people take it on the spot after the pill is issued, Gao Zhiyuan is just a little depleted in his true qi, and there is no external injury, this blood coagulation pill does not have to be taken and is put into his arms.

In the early morning of the second day, Gao Zhiyuan came out of the room, and after a night of recuperation, he removed most of the physical burden brought by the Heavenly Fire Burning City Style, and actually felt that his physique was also a little tougher.

Gao Zhiyuan was thinking about it, and a teenager came to him.

"Brother Tai is really powerful, he can cut down a hundred and ten blood bats in one move, admire, admire. "The boy reported boxing.

"Are you ......?"

"In Xiawutai County, the son of the Liu family, Liu Kang. Yesterday, I wanted to get close to my brother, but I didn't find the opportunity. ”

The children of the family are good at communicating with people, so as to attract talents and consolidate their power, and even after becoming an outer disciple, it is not all smooth sailing, and there is also a series of competition between disciples, competing for resources, fighting for exercises, and even competing for the number of inner disciples, and every time they compete for the head, it is bloody.

Therefore, it is also very common for disciples to form gangs and factions, and Liu Kang, as the young master of the Liu family, is also a person with outstanding qualifications and perseverance, and he immediately discovered Gao Zhiyuan's value and wanted to win him over.

"It's just that the exercises are a little more domineering, but Brother Liu's swordsmanship is sharp, he is a family of his own, and he kills people in an instant, which is much better than me. ”

Gao Zhiyuan also remembered that Liu Kang was not far from him yesterday, and he followed him out of the trial cave, the swordsmanship was agile and fluttering, and the speed was extremely fast, almost a blood bat landed between breaths, and in the face of Liu Kang's overtures, he naturally said a few polite words.

"Brother Gao is polite, the second assessment today is about to start, let's go over together. ”

The two talked a few more words, and then came to the meeting place. It was still yesterday's outer door steward, who walked out of the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion with thirty-six people.

The palace of the king of Ming is located in the half-day gorge of Luoxia Mountain, on the half-day gorge, only to find that the whole mountain peak is bare, there is no water and wood, it is cold and abnormal, everything is silent, it seems that there is no life, a large hall in the middle is majestic, but it gives people a sense of depression.

The outer gate steward led everyone to a bluestone paved mountain road, the mountain road was full of fog, the blue and white stone steps were like a long snake, straight into the clouds, there was a huge stone beside the road, which was engraved: illusion from the heart, floating like a dream, enter my door, do not complain in case of trouble.

Sixteen words are quaint and atmospheric, but they give people a sense of pathos.

"Netherworld Valley, Heart Refining Road, everyone, if you want to become a disciple of my Three Holy Sects, this Heart Refining Road must be crossed, after this Heart Refining Road, it is the Ming King Palace, and you will become disciples of my Three Holy Sects. The outer gatekeeper who led the way said.
