Although the strange shadow appeared suddenly, it was not very fast, which gave me plenty of time to react.

At this time, I have two options, one is to dodge, and the other is to raise my sword and be tough. The former was safer, and I was pretty sure I could avoid it, and in fact I was going to do it, but as soon as I took a step, those strange shadows suddenly flashed in front of my mind, and then my hand waved the apocalypse as if reflexively and slashed out.

The familiar sluggishness came back to me, exactly the same as when I slashed out the black sword light.

The shadow in the depths of the cavern finally broke out of the darkness and revealed its true face, and my heart skipped a beat, and I immediately understood what it was.

Shark people, this is shark people.

Almost as soon as I could react, the humanoid fish-tailed monster from the darkness had already pounced on me, two claws covered in black scales that collided with the apocalypse I swung.

Vaguely, I found that there seemed to be a layer of black light attached to the entire blade of the Apocalypse, and without the slightest stop, the blade slashed, accompanied by a terrible strange sound, a pair of claws wrapped in scale armor broke off at the wrist, fell to the ground, and blood gushed out.

This kind of blood is different from ordinary blood, it is magma colored, bright in color, and faintly glows with some faint red light, if you don't look closely, it is really easy to confuse it with magma.

I didn't expect this sword to be so powerful, and I was stunned, and I forgot to dodge for a while, and some blood splashed on my skin.

I didn't expect the blood to be so hot, it was no different from freshly boiled water, and I was so hot that I couldn't care about the shark with the broken hand, and I desperately wiped the blood from my body.

The Taoist priest also saw the merman at this time, and was surprised, picked up his three-tailed fish-handled mahogany sword to protect me, and asked me if it mattered?

In fact, there is not much merman blood splashed on my body, and the temperature of this blood drops quickly, even if I don't wipe it off, it's no big deal, so I told the Taoist priest that I was fine, and then the merman also reacted from the pain of broken claws, turned his head and ran, I hurriedly asked the Taoist priest to chase after him, don't let this guy go, if he goes back and summons other people of the same kind, we will be finished.

The Taoist priest smiled, didn't talk to me, and rushed forward with an arrow, stopping the merman who was fleeing to the depths of the cave, and said with a light in his eyes: "Immeasurable Tianzun, baby, this is a baby, this is a fortune......"

Although the merman was cut off by me, his mobility was not affected, and the reason why he fled was probably frightened by me. But although it was afraid of me, it was not afraid of the Taoist priest, and when it saw that the Taoist priest dared to block the way, it opened its mouth and bit the Taoist priest's head without the slightest pause.

Although the appearance of the mermaids is similar to that of humans, there are still some differences, their heads are large, and their mouths are also extremely wide, and when opened, they can almost swallow the head of a normal person whole. At this time, if it was an ordinary person who was in the way, he would definitely kneel, but unfortunately this merman was really unlucky, and it was a Taoist priest who stopped in front of him.

I've never seen a Taoist priest use a three-tailed fish-handled mahogany sword against an enemy, or that he hasn't used a sword in front of me at all. When I first met him, he had lost all of his magic weapons due to the capture of the Vampogre Vine, and it was said that among those things was a mahogany sword that he usually used.

In the next few adventures, the Taoist priest was naked, and although he robbed the three-tailed fish-handled mahogany sword, I didn't see him play, if it wasn't for coming out with him tonight, I didn't know that this obscene guy's swordsmanship was so superb.

The merman opened his mouth to bite the Taoist priest, but was cut off half of the fangs by the Taoist priest with a sword, and immediately became furious, relying on the scale armor on his body, and began to rush and collide, and the Taoist priest relied on a peach wood sword in his hand, splitting and blocking, and the sword danced with flowers, leaving no flaws, and the merman had no way to take him.

I watched it from the side and admired it again and again, I didn't expect this thief Taoist priest to have such a good swordsmanship, I really underestimated him before.

Although the Taoist priest's superb swordsmanship surprised me, but at this moment I was more concerned about the sword I had just now, although the Taoist's three-tailed fish-handled peach wood sword was not an artifact, it was not as good as the apocalypse, but it was not a mortal thing, not to mention that the person who used it was a Taoist priest.

I'm afraid that the Apocalypse Sword can't even exert a few tenths of the power in my hands, but the Taoist priest who cultivates the true qi of Taoism can bring out the true power of the three-tailed fish-handled peach wood sword, how can it be more powerful than me, but I found that his peach wood sword slashed on the scale armor on the surface of the merman's body, and it only cut off a few scales, which could not cause much damage to it at all, and I directly cut off the shark's claws just now.

After a few rounds of fighting between the Taoist priest and the merman, the merman fell into a complete disadvantage, knowing that he could not break through the Taoist level, the merman decisively turned around, but faced me again.

To be honest, although I cut off the shark's claws just now, even I didn't understand how it was done, and I was very nervous about the shark at this time.

However, what I never expected was that the merman seemed to be too impressed just now, just looked at me, then turned around and ran, of course, this time he fled in the direction of the cave.

The Taoist priest and I immediately chased out, but we saw an extremely strange scene.

As soon as the panicked merman rushed out of the mouth of the cave, the part of his body that came into contact with the mist immediately rose white smoke, and then it was as if it had been drenched with sulfuric acid, and all the flesh and even the scale armor were corroded into thick water.

The merman hissed in pain, and immediately retreated back into the cave, ignoring the presence of the two of us, and rushed straight into the depths of the cave.

The Taoist priest and I were so stunned by the strange changes in the mermaid's body that we forgot to intercept it, and let it howl and rush into the depths of the dark cave.

"Just now...... What happened? Looking at the disappeared back of the merman, I muttered, and before I could react, I heard the Taoist priest suddenly shout: "Reporter, be careful......"

At the same time as his voice came out, I realized that I had not braked the car for a while, and one foot had already reached out of the hole.

Thinking of the change of the merman just now, I sighed in my heart, my heart was not good, and I quickly retracted my foot, and after waiting for a while, I raised my foot, and I didn't feel anything unusual, I couldn't help but feel a little strange.

The Taoist priest also looked puzzled, thought about it, and probed the index finger of his left hand into the mist, but there was still nothing abnormal, and the Taoist priest simply burrowed into the mist, and disappeared from my field of vision at once.

I was startled by his actions, and hurriedly shouted, and immediately saw him come out of the fog again, and there was still no change.

"It's weird, it's nothing, why did that guy become that ghost? Isn't it because of the fog? The Taoist priest muttered and walked out of the fog with a look of surprise.

I also tried it and found that the mist was just a little wet and cold, and it didn't make me feel any discomfort, which is obviously a normal fog.

"Let's go, go back!" The Taoist priest patted me, and the two of them returned to the cave.

The real cave is much larger than what we see, but the lighting range of the shark corpse candle is limited, and the other side of the cave is completely dark, so it is impossible to see it really.

We didn't see the previous merman on the side of the shark candle, so it could only be on the dark side of the cave.

The Taoist priest pulled out his flashlight and asked me to follow him, and the two of them slowly touched towards the darkness.

I'm a little nervous, just now I was woken up by a Taoist priest in my sleep, and when I came out, I was in a bit of a hurry, so I forgot to bring a flashlight, so now there is only a Taoist flashlight. The range of the flashlight beam was limited, and as we went deeper and deeper, and all around us were shrouded in darkness, the tension in my heart turned to fear, and I had to hold the apocalypse with both hands to give myself courage.

Although the cave is large, there is always an end, and when we walked into it for more than ten meters, we finally reached the end. In front of the stone wall at the end of the cave, we found the merman who had fallen to the ground motionless.

The Taoist priest shone it with a flashlight, and I immediately found that the merman had become a half-melted state at this time, and the scales on the surface of his body and the outermost layer of flesh and blood had all turned into thick water, and he looked so disgusting and disgusting, and he was obviously dead.

The Taoist priest was still a little uneasy, and kicked the shark corpse with his foot, but as soon as he kicked it, the pus on the surface of the shark corpse splashed him. The Taoist priest retracted his feet a little depressed, sighed, and said to me: "If you don't die in this way, you will really be a ghost!" ”

The corpse of the shark that the Taoist priest wanted was found, and the shark who attacked us was also dead, I really didn't want to stay in this cave full of corpse stench and the fragrance of lamps and candles, so I urged the Taoist priest to hurry back, who thought that the Taoist priest suddenly covered his stomach: "Oh, it's not good, it must be that I have eaten too much compressed biscuit paste in the past few days, and my stomach can't stand it, you wait, the Taoist can't hold it back!" ”

As he spoke, he shoved the flashlight and his three-tailed fish-handled mahogany sword into my hand, and drilled into the corner of the stone wall as if he were burning his buttocks, and began to do his errands. As soon as I saw him crouch down, a series of discordant voices came, followed by an unbearable stench.

I really couldn't stand the smell, so I covered my nose, and I was speechless for a while, and I couldn't help but scold: "Why the hell are you eating Xiang, so stinky?" Damn, I can't stand it, you hurry up, I'll go out first. ”

As I spoke, I turned around and was about to go out, when the Taoist priest hurriedly shouted at me, "Hey, don't mind, don't you want to know what happened to the sword light before?" ”

Hearing this, my heart moved, and I remembered what the Taoist priest had promised me just now, and I was a little helpless, so I had to pinch my nose and say to him: "Okay, you say quickly, I'm worried that I will be poisoned if I stay here for a long time." ”

"Damn, is that an exaggeration? Not... Although it does stink a little. ”

I saw that this guy was still playing flowers, and I suddenly became a little impatient, and threatened: "If you don't say it, don't say it, I'll go back first!" ”

As he spoke, I was about to leave, but the Taoist priest was anxious and hurriedly stopped me: "Wait, don't worry! Don't you just want to know what's going on with that sword qi, and Dao Ye said it's not okay? ”

I shone my flashlight at him: "Then say it! ”

"Your situation is actually very simple, you should also know that the real Xuanmen Authentic Sect actually has its own way of cultivation, some cultivate Qi, some cultivate power, and Dao Master I, the cultivation is the former.

Qi is the innate energy that forms all things in the world, also known as true qi. Between heaven and earth, all things are born together, starting from Qi, practicing martial arts, meditating, and alchemy.

Inside, you can look at your own body inside, and outside, you can resonate with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and the energy generated by this resonance is unimaginable, it can be incorporated into your own body storage, and it can also be sent out of external objects, causing extremely terrible damage. ”

Speaking of this, the Taoist priest paused slightly, looked at me, who was already speechless with shock, and continued: "The sword qi that you split the boulder before is a kind of Yuan Qi resonance, but since you have not systematically cultivated Qi, nor have you used your own Yuan Qi method, so the sword you split at that time consumed the innate Yuan Qi in your body, this kind of Qi is different from the True Qi cultivated through the method, it is innate, although it cannot grow, it can be consumed, but it takes a long time to recover after being consumed, That's why you can't use the same sword qi again after you slash that sword. ”

The Taoist priest's words made the doubts in my heart suddenly clear, but then I was a little depressed: "According to what you say, my Innate Yuan Qi is only enough for me to use a sword seal, and once it is used, I can only wait for it to recover by itself, which is too chicken!" ”

"No, who said you can only make one move?" The Taoist priest rolled his eyes and continued to explain to me: "In Xuanmen, there are two ways to cultivate Qi, one is the Innate Yuan Qi you used before, and the other is the True Qi that I cultivated. Innate Yuan Qi is innate, it will not grow because of cultivation, and it is also the most difficult to control and use.

However, in the Taoist scriptures, the innate Yuan Qi is the most suitable energy for the human body, because it is originally possessed by the person himself, which is equivalent to a part of the body.

Many people think that there are too few innate Yuan Qi and it is too chicken to use, but in fact, this idea is completely wrong. The amount of innate Yuan Qi is related to the potential of a person, but even the most unbearable and rubbish person, the innate Yuan Qi contained in his body is unimaginable, so let's put it this way, if someone can master the innate Yuan Qi in the body eighty percent, then this person can immediately feather and fly into an immortal. ”

I gasped and couldn't help but exclaim, "So powerful? ”

The Taoist priest looked at me like a hillbilly and said with disdain: "Otherwise, what do you think? It is difficult for those who cultivate True Qi to cultivate to the Feather Transformation Realm, and it is basically useless for those who cultivate the Innate Yuan Qi to reach the Feather Transformation Realm, because those few masters of the Feather Transformation Realm since the beginning of the record are all cultivators of the True Qi. ”
