Chapter 18: The Valley of the Blood Demons
After saying that, Shi Wenli stabbed a sword into the heart of Balk's headless body, and the Divine Douqi Tong Guò Great Sword poured into Balk's body, burning his body to ashes. A blood-red crystal appeared in the pile of ashes that Balk had turned into.
"Finally dead!" Shi Wenli sighed, the higher the level of the vampire, the more difficult it is to kill, and the legendary blood god can even be reborn with blood. He picked up the blood-red crystal and handed it to Hong Wu.
"Master Hong, thank you for your help again. This blood crystal also asked Master Hong to accept it. Shi Wenli said respectfully, he didn't expect Hongwu's strength to be so strong, he could easily kill the middle marquis, I am afraid that he has the strength of the upper gold level, or even the strength of a half-step sword saint.
Hongwu's Seven Stars Unification gave him the feeling that it was unrivaled and unstoppable, and it seemed to contain some of the might of heaven and earth, which only a half-step Sword Saint or a Sword Saint could do.
In this world, when the strength reaches the gold level, it will be respected by everyone as a master, and when it reaches the strength of the Sword Master, it will be respected by everyone as a venerable.
"No need to be polite." Hong Wu took the blood crystal handed over by Shi Wenli, from which Hong Wu felt a yin but vigorous power, he didn't expect that the high-level vampire would leave this after he died, Hong Wu put away the blood crystal, and put away a pair of fangs and a black long knife from Balk.
With Shi Wenli leading the way, it took Hongwu only three days to get out of the Gross Mountains, and at his invitation, Hongwu followed them to Santia, the imperial capital of the Saint-Vals Empire, and the direction pointed out by Pangu was also there.
Before the three of them reached the Holy Die, Shi Wenli and Sorena met the Holy Seiya who had come out to find them on the way.
"Your Highness, Wenli. It's great that you're okay, but His Majesty is worried about your safety. The Golden Saint Seiya said happily when he saw Shi Wenli and Sorena.
"Uncle Corenso, I'm bothering you." Solena and Shi Wenli said embarrassedly.
"Who is this?" Colencor asked, looking at Hongwu.
"He was our savior. Master Hong Wuhong..."Shi Wenli briefly explained what happened.
"In the next generation of the Pope, His Majesty Xià thanked Master Hong for saving His Highness and Wenli. Master Hong was already a half-step Sword Saint powerhouse at a young age, and he was really a genius. Colencor praised.
"Master Colencor is polite, it is my duty to draw a sword to help when the road is uneven." Hong Wu smiled and said, his current strength is completely due to Pangu, he has experienced many worlds, and has experienced twenty or thirty years, so Hong Wu does not have a trace of pride.
"If everyone has an open-minded mind like Master Hong. Our Terrans will not decline like this. Corenso sighed.
Three days later, the Holy Church of Santia.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." The white-haired Pope smiled. He looked at Hong Wu and said, "Master Hong's life-saving grace, my Holy See will not forget it." ”
"His Majesty the Pope is gracious." Hong Wu couldn't feel the Pope's strength, he felt like an ordinary old man to Hong Wu, but how could he, as the Pope of the Holy Church, not have a trace of strength and wanted to hide Hong Wu's feelings. Unless it is a strong person in the innate realm. This world is also called the Sword Master Strong.
"Master Hong has the strength of a half-step Sword Saint at a young age, I don't know which Sword Saint Master is?" The Pope could see Hongwu's strength at a glance.
"The family teacher is the Dugu Sword Saint." Hongwu decided to impersonate to the end.
"It turned out to be that old fellow, I haven't seen your master for twenty years, I don't know how he is now?" A smile appeared on the Pope's face, and his eyes drifted into the distance, as if reminiscing about the past.
Hong Wu was stunned when he heard the Pope's words, is there really a sword saint surnamed Dugu in this world? But his words had already come out, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to lie: "My master, his old man's body is still relatively healthy. It's just that he didn't mention his past in front of me. ”
"That old guy is still so arrogant." The Pope shook his head and continued, "Xiao Wu. Since you're the old guy's apprentice, make this your home and don't see it. ”
"Yes!"
"The Valley of Blood Demons is about to open, and there are many masters from the Blood Clan, don't run around recently, Xiao Wu's strength is enough to protect himself, but you two can't." The Pope commanded.
"Why don't our Terran masters take the opportunity to exterminate these Bloods?" Hong Wu wondered in his heart, these high-level blood clans blatantly appeared in human cities, didn't these empires care?
"It's not as simple as you think, several Sword Saints of our human race and the duke of the blood clan have reached an agreement, and the two clans will live in peace for the time being, waiting for the opening of the Valley of Blood Demons."
The Pope sighed, the number of the top masters of the human race is less than that of the top masters of the blood race, and the top masters of the blood race can fly, it is extremely difficult to kill a duke of the blood race, unless it is a net of heaven and earth, otherwise once he escapes, there will be endless troubles.
"What is the Valley of the Blood Demons?" Hong Wu asked.
"More than five hundred years ago, a peerless genius appeared in the Blood Clan, and it is said that he has received the inheritance of the Blood Demon. He hunted the masters of the Terran everywhere, and even some of the masters of the Blood Clan did not let go. ”
"In the end, several Sword Saints of the Terran Race laid a net in a valley of the Lvas Empire and led him here, and several Sword Saints of the Terran fought with him in that valley for five days and five nights, and finally died together, and several Sword Saints worked together to seal the valley before they died."
"This valley was later named the Valley of the Blood Demon, and hundreds of years have passed, and the seals left by several Sword Saints have gradually loosened, and this time the Blood Clan went for the relics of that genius." The Pope spoke out about the cause and effect.
"Wouldn't it be worse if the Blood Clan got the inheritance of the Blood Demon?" Hong Wu said.
"Hey! Today's Terrans are not as united as they were hundreds of years ago, and some of those in power are gradually confused by power and **, and the number of top masters of the Blood Clan is more than that of our Terrans, and under their persecution, our Terrans have no choice but to agree. ”
"However, we also have our bottom line, only blood clans below the Duke level can participate in this competition. Of course, our Terran side can only send fighters below the Sword Saint level to participate. The Pope said.
"Can I participate?" Hongwu thought that Gost would definitely go there, because the direction Pangu gave was the side of the Valley of Blood Demons.
"If you want to participate, you must have gold-level strength, and there will be a competition in the imperial capital in three days, and the top ten are eligible to participate. Because it is very likely that you will find weapons or exercises left by several Sword Masters in the Valley of Blood Demons, there must be many masters participating in the competition. However, with Xiao Wu's strength, there is absolutely no problem. The Pope stroked his beard and smiled.
"Brother Hong, the trip to the Valley of Blood Demons is too dangerous, you better think about it before making a decision!" Shi Wenli said with concern.
"Don't worry! Wenli, I'm going to be fine, and I have a reason why I have to go. Hong Wu smiled and said.
Three days later.
The competition was held in the palace, and Hong Wu was naturally able to participate in the introduction of the Pope, and this time the judge was an enshrinement of the empire, a median sword saint.
There are only about thirty players in the competition, all of whom are fighters of the median gold level and above, and Hong Wu's strength is a half-step sword master, plus a strong physical body, he easily obtained a position.
After the ten strong men were selected, the next step was the battle for the captain, and Hong Wu took the initiative to abstain without that thought.
In the end, a Golden Saint Seiya named Luis took the position of captain.
A day later, Louis led the crowd out to the Valley of the Blood Demons.
The Valley of the Blood Demon is some distance from the Imperial Capital of the Vals Empire, but with the strength of the ten Hongwu people, the speed of the journey is very fast, ordinary people need fifteen days, they only need five days to reach the Valley of the Blood Demon.
"They're already in!" Captain Louis showed some traces at the mouth of the valley, all of which had just been made.
As soon as Hongwu and the others entered the valley, they felt that the environment had changed, as if the valley was an independent space, which was completely different from the external environment.
"Everyone be careful, this is the formation arranged by the top Alchemy Venerable and the Sword Saint. Although hundreds of years have passed, the remnants of these formations are still there, and it is best for us not to touch them. Luis reminded.
The ten men walked cautiously for a while, and there was no danger, and after a while, a stone tablet appeared in the eyes of everyone.
The stone tablet of "Heart Refining Road" is engraved with these three big characters, and these three words seem to contain some mysterious power, as if they want to suck the people who look at it in.
Behind the stele is a spacious bluestone road, which looks very ordinary. The gray on both sides of the road makes it difficult to see the real and the virtual.
"What should I do?" One of the team members asked.
"Look." A cold voice sounded, this person's name is Li Li, his strength is ordinary, but he can rank in the top three, but he is too cold. Li Li practiced ruthless swordsmanship, and Hong Wu had watched his game and remembered him more deeply. At this point, he pointed to the edge of the gray mist, where there was a pinch of gray-black powder.
"That should be left by the blood clan team, there should be a killing array on both sides of the road, some of them wanted to break out, but they were instantly killed by the formation." Li Li said in a cold tone.
"Then the only way we can do it is to refine our hearts." Louis nodded in agreement with Li Li.
"Who's coming first." Louis looked around and said. This path of refining the mind seems to be extremely ordinary, but in fact, it implies murderous intent, and no one wants to be the first to appreciate its power.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally focus on Luis, which means: You are the captain, you come first.
"I'll come first!" Hong Wu opened his mouth and said, relieving Louis's embarrassment, he stepped into the path of refining his heart, and his figure disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"This heart refining path is shrouded in formations, and the outside can't see the situation inside." Louis said helplessly, he still wants to observe before making plans, most of the other people are also this mentality, the stronger the person, the more he cherishes his life. (To be continued!)
