Blood continued to drip down the snowy long sword to the ground.

The drops of scarlet water droplets, on the smooth stone slabs of the street, emitted a subtle sound of "answer, answer", and soon they gathered together densely, like thousands of red plums, extending along the long road to the distance.

Roy struggled to his feet, gasping violently.

He couldn't remember how many times he had fallen and how many times he had gotten up. Anyway, every time I stood up, there was only the back of the human swordsman who broke into the demon city alone and fought on the long street.

Sword Spirit

Roy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his backhand, and his tongue swirled around between his teeth, spitting out a mouthful of bright red saliva. Keep your head up. A large blood-red cloud, pressed low overhead, like a huge pot lid, shrouded the whole world tightly.

The city in front of you is desolate and silent. When the wind in the wilderness swept into the city with a cloud of dust and sand, except for the weeds in the corners of the walls swaying in the wind, and the bloodstained ruins whining like weeping, the whole city was left with its own wheezing.

Roy didn't know what happened here three hundred years ago. He just felt that the world created in the verdict was a little too realistic

Behind Roy and the Sword Spirit, every few tens of meters, the corpses of two demon warriors fell to the ground. One was killed by the sword spirit, and the other was killed by him.

Killing people in the world of adjudication, such a thing Roy didn't even think about a few days ago.

In the past, when he followed the dwarven axe spirit to fight on that small hill called [Hundred Battle Slope], he was just a shadow, a cloud of air, and a ghost in this world. Whether it is the dwarf or the surrounding demons, they can pass through his body without hindrance.

They can't hurt him, and he can't hurt them.

The same goes for the first few battles including following the Sword Spirit. The sword spirit was fighting in front, and he followed behind him to learn, and those demons who were blocking the sword spirit would not even look at him.

But this qiē changed three days ago.

At the time, Roy had just entered meditation. The waves of heaven and earth energy stirred up by perception became bigger and bigger, and gradually formed a monstrous giant* that pressed straight down on him. As always, the Judgment appeared beside him in the form of a whirlpool, holding out most of the energy for him.

This kind of cooperation between Roy and the judge has been more than a year.

According to the dwarves, this vortex is the main instrument that adjudicates the true natural birth.

Whether it is the dwarf axe spirit itself, or the sword spirit, the spear spirit, the bow spirit, or the staff spirit, they are essentially sealed souls, outsiders who rule the world. The Lord's Spirit, on the other hand, is the soul of the judgment itself, born into this world along with the essence of the judgment.

Roy had known the Lord Spirit even before the Axe Spirit. It was the main spirit that helped him resist the tide of heaven and earth energy that almost devoured him, and sent him to the mountain where the dwarven axe spirit was located for the second time.

The collaboration between Roy and the Lord Spirit was pleasant. During the three meditations that thundered every day, he would release his transcendent perception to the fullest, agitating the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and the whirlpool would also absorb most of the energy according to his magic and spiritual power level, leaving behind the energy that was just right for him.

These remaining energies are charged in an extremely precise way. Doesn't do damage to Roy, but forces him to his full potential. If other magicians found out, they would be maddened with jealousy. This is no different from being closely protected by a Dharma god when you are cultivating.

Although the Adjudicator Spirit could not speak, Roy, who was related to it, could always clearly feel every bit of its affection.

For more than a year, they have been together in the morning and evening, sensing each other's affection. Every day, the verdict grows and grows, like a baby, growing at a rate that Roy can perceive. Every time the meditation devours the spiritual power of heaven and earth, it will become a little stronger. The message to Roy is also getting clearer. ...,

Roy's meditation three days ago was no different than usual. But when a huge energy giant* pressed down like a mountain, Roy heard it in the waves that he was struggling to resist, swallowed a full Lord Spirit, and hiccuped with satisfaction.

Roy swore he was absolutely not mistaken.

This guy, who is called his three major debt collectors along with Malt and Oliver, really hiccuped. He could even imagine this whirlpool of winter with his eyes half-closed, and his face was comfortable and content.

Roy knew that the energy of the judgment had risen to a new level, but he didn't expect that this hiccup would be the beginning of his own hard life.

When he re-enters this world, Roy discovers that his body is no longer shadow air. And the demons who appeared in front of them were no longer one, but two.

Two demons who are the same.

The one in front of him blocked the sword spirit with the same pace as the previous ones, while the other blocked him.

The first time this happened, Roy was completely dumbfounded.

But before he could come to his senses, the battle began.

Under the attack of the demons, Roy began to work hard, learning the sword spirit to use the twists and steps of his body to transform the opponent's deadly attacks into wounds that seemed to be hideous but were not very serious.

Although the demon clan in front of him was just an ordinary soldier, he still took a lot of effort to kill the other party. The sword of the demon soldier fell on his body again and again, and the pain of the wound, the dizziness of blood loss, and the consumption of the body were no different from the real world. He even thought he was going to die here for a while.

And in this process, the sword spirit who was the first to solve the opponent just quietly turned his back to him, looking into the distance of the long street, waiting. Not to mention helping, not even looking at it. It wasn't until he killed the enemy that the sword spirit stepped forward to meet the next enemy.

That time, Roy only lasted until the appearance of the third demon before falling.

After falling, his world went dark.

There was no sound, no light, no movement, no thought, no breathing, not even the person seemed to exist. But you can clearly feel the slow passage of time.

When he reappeared behind the Sword Spirit, the Sword Spirit was already standing on the long street waiting for him.

And then the same fight again.

After a few times, Roy, who was already about to be driven crazy, calculated and found that the time he spent in the darkness was the time it took for the sword spirit to walk through the long street. That is, the longer you hold out in battle, the less time you will spend in the grave of death.

And he also found that he only had to defeat the first two enemies. In the face of those enemies behind him who are completely beyond his strength, all he needs to do is to keep using the sword spirit's combat method to persist in not being knocked down. As long as you survive the time for the sword spirit to defeat the opponent, you will be considered to have passed

Although he didn't know how many times he had changed the main spirit of the battle mode without even reminding him and the dwarven axe spirit who obviously knew about it, when the meditation was over, Roy understood that this time, he had gained far more than ten times and a hundred times more than before

His learning ability is extraordinary, and he can learn eight or ninety percent of any move as long as he looks at it once or twice. Even the dwarven axe spirit was amazed by his ability for a while, and complained unbalanced that the great dwarven god Thor had not given the dwarves a clever brain.

However, there are some things that cannot be learned by learning alone.

It's like learning from the sword spirit. Even though Roy had learned the sword spirit's footwork, dodge movements, sword angles, and routes vividly before this, when the muscles were cut and the bones were broken, the sharp pain struck, and his movements were completely deformed.

Roy also wanted to control himself. But the instinctive reaction of the body when it is hurt is not even perceived by his consciousness at all. A qiē is a knee-jerk reaction. It is only when the action has been made that he realizes that he has made a mistake. ...,

Now, three days later, Roy has learned how to keep his eyes peeled when the tip of his sharp sword touches his eyelashes. He learned how to watch his muscles being slit with indifference, how to calmly use sideways regression and muscle movement to control the size of the wound, and even coldly clamp the opponent's sword with contracted muscles and ribs in exchange for a chance to split the opponent's head.

The sword spirit teaches not only swordsmanship, but also survival skills that wander on the edge of life and death, and these can only be obtained in real battles, blood and pain

A gust of wind blew. On the long and silent street, the dust was flying. Roy took a deep breath and followed the Sword Spirit forward. A moment later, two identical demons appeared in front of them.

Roy clenched the sword in his hand, and the truth in his body moved quickly along the route of the exercise. Qi and blood are growing under the action of fighting qi, and the power contained in muscles is constantly increasing. The whole person is like a longbow with open strings, and it is about to explode.

This is Roy's fifth opponent in this battle, a demon infantry squadron leader-level warrior.

The leader of the infantry squadron of the demons, the strength is equivalent to that of a human brave-level knight. But the demons' racial talents, alternative combat skills, and their rich battlefield experience made this red-haired guy much more difficult to deal with than the three brave knights of the human race combined

Demon is the name given by humans to the race that has taken over their homeland.

It is a race that lives in the underworld and believes in the laws of darkness. Their appearance is not much different from that of humans, except that in their pupils, there are two clusters of light like fire.

Because they have lived underground without sunlight for many years, the skin of demons appears whiter than that of humans. Unlike their vassals and humans, the orthodox demons do not cultivate fighting energy, and the improvement of their strength follows a completely different evolutionary route from humans. With each evolution, their pupil color changes with it.

Only the royal family of the demon clan, the pupil light pattern is silvery-white, and no matter how much the strength is raised, it will not change. The royal family is the most handsome. The men are sturdy, and the women are as graceful and beautiful as the elves, both men and women, with a long braid at the back of their heads.

The leader of the demon squadron in front of Roy had a dark red color in his pupils. Compared to ordinary demon warriors, he is taller and more sturdy. The first few times, Roy hadn't been able to survive this guy's lightning attack, and this time, it was his last chance before the end of this meditation.

"Brush"

With two snow-white sword lights, the battle began.

Although they are two people, they are actually two doppelgangers of a demon race. Their movements, their speeds, and even the corners of their clothes that were blown by the wind during their movements were exactly the same.

Sword Spirit and Roy turned sideways at the same time and stepped forward. The figures of the two people are also exactly the same.

The red-haired demon swept a sword across Roy's cheek, and the sharp sword wind surged like a knife. The bright sword light makes people involuntarily feel like they will be pierced through the head by a sword. Roy sank. Although the pain he experienced when he was stabbed was exactly the same as in reality, at this moment, he had to take a distracting thought out of his mind. In the divine consciousness, there is only the precise control of the fighting qi in the body and the muscles of the body.

The red-haired demon clan's sword missed, and he immediately shook his hand and stabbed seven swords in a row.

Since birth, demons have begun to evolve. In a lifetime, you have to go through several or even dozens of evolutionary transformations. Each time it is like a molt, not only will the physical form evolve more perfectly, but its speed, strength, and natural skills will also become more powerful.

This demon squadron leader is a warrior who has completed the third evolution, and his speed and strength are more terrifying than those of the super fifth-order demonic beasts. The seven swords he stabbed out instantly enveloped the sword spirit and Roy's body, and it seemed that no matter where they dodged, they couldn't get out of his attack range...,

This may not be a big deal to the Sword Spirit, but to Roy, it is extremely deadly.

In the space of a breath, the sword spirit had already taken seven steps. If you look at it from the side, these seven steps of the sword spirit seem to have only moved slightly in the body, and it has avoided the opponent's attack. But the same action, at Roy's feet, was as difficult as falling into a swamp.

One step, two steps, three steps......

In the first five steps, Roy was able to keep up with the rhythm of the sword spirit. These steps he had learned after only seeing them once. It's easy to do if you walk on a regular basis. But in this battle, under the pressure of the red-haired demon's suffocating fast sword, by the sixth step, he could no longer keep up.

The bottleneck is not in the feet, but in the body. Without the support of his fighting spirit, he would not have been able to take that ever-changing step with the same weight as the sword spirit.

Poof, when the whirling fighting qi in Roy's body suddenly stagnated because he couldn't keep up with the speed of his body, the red-haired demon's sword had already pierced his left shoulder.

The pain when the steel sword sliced through the muscles was instantly transmitted to Roy's brain.

But this time, he was unmoved, the whole person was like a stone without feeling, staring at the tip of the sword piercing into his body with extreme calmness, the wound muscles contracted and beat rapidly under the conscious control, reducing the damage of the long sword to the muscle meridians to a minimum, and the feet did not stop at all, and as soon as he retreated and slipped, he moved away like a loach.

Minor wounds, the sixth sword dodged

Whoosh, without waiting for Roy to breathe, the seventh sword of the red-haired demon clan had already arrived in front of him.

The last time Roy fell under this last sword, the last time and the previous one.

Because the Dou Qi happened to have a stagnation at this moment, therefore, after exchanging minor injuries for avoiding the sixth sword, he couldn't avoid the seventh sword no matter what.

In fact, having come to this point, we have reached the last moment of this level. As long as you avoid the seventh sword, the long sword in the sword spirit's hand will pierce the opponent's throat in the next second. Even if the sword spirit didn't kill the other party, the fighting energy in Roy's body could break through this stagnant circuit and become smooth.

But Roy just couldn't survive this second.

He even tried to survive in exchange for a non-critical position on his face, but the end result was nothing more than a tragic death of being stabbed in the head by a sword.

Above the battlefield, the eyes of the dwarven axe spirit, in the boundless fiery red clouds, stared at Roy motionlessly. The palms of his hands seemed to be tense and sweaty.

The cultivation of fighting spirit and combat skills complement each other.

If the combat skill is compared to the body, then the fighting spirit is the bone. The human skeleton makes it suitable for walking upright. The skeleton of the snake is suitable for gliding on the ground. The bones of a leopard, the skeleton of a bear, the skeleton of a fish and the skeleton of a bird are also different.

Each fighting spirit has a combat skill suitable for its play.

Just like the dragon slaying recipe that Roy got before, when it runs to a certain position, it stagnates, needs to breathe or suddenly erupts, and those martial arts that cooperate with the dragon slaying recipe will also be highly targeted in the corresponding places. The moves are dignified, soothing, or like a storm.

And the higher the level of Dou Qi cultivation, the smaller the flaws in the mental method. The stasis position, which requires several successive breaths of ventilation to get through at the zero level, may only need one breath at the first and second levels. And at a higher level, it's even just a slight slowdown that can be restored in an instant.

Roy, on the other hand, practiced a doctrine that was abandoned by all knights

The people of this era no longer understand the benefits of the truth, and the truth that has been handed down has been changed beyond recognition and is incomplete. And the complete mantra that Roy practiced is the foundation of the Yiqiē Gong method, and its existence is to make up for the shortcomings of all the Dou Qi Gong methods. ..., of course, there is no perfect practice in the world. The Truth Recipe itself also has one of the biggest drawbacks, that is, the initial cultivation is difficult and extremely powerful.

At the same time, if Roy, who had absorbed a five-star aura pill given by Sophia with ninety percent of the spiritual power, had cultivated the Dragon Slaying Technique, perhaps he would have already broken through the fifth or sixth layer of the first order of Dou Qi by now. can cultivate the truth technique, but it has been stuck at the peak of the ninth layer of the zero order, and it cannot be broken through.

And now, it's Roy's best chance.

fell into a period of stagnation one after another, and was sent to the grave several times, which had already made Roy accumulate a belly of fire, and also brought the truth in his body to the brink of a breakthrough. As long as you survive this second, the Truth Trick will be able to complete a cycle, so as to truly achieve the accumulation that can condense the battle ring.

This truth is not only understood by the dwarf axe spirit, but also by Roy himself. However, the seventh sword of this demon race is an insurmountable moat.

In the blink of an eye, the demon's sword had stabbed in front of Roy like lightning.

In the dwarf's field of vision, Roy, whose body has completely fallen into froze, is the same as the previous times, and the rest of the action is to be able to turn his head.

"Oops, stupid boy," the dwarf's heart was about to jump out of his throat. In his experience, Roy's dodging speed couldn't keep up with the speed of the Demon Clan's long sword, and before his head could be twisted, I was afraid that the enemy's sword would have pierced his cheek and shattered his head

The cold wind of the sword had already touched his skin, and Roy not only seemed to be very slow in front of the fast sword of the demons, but his head had also been deflected to the extreme, and there was no room to dodge.

Seeing that he was about to fail like the previous times, but suddenly, Roy faced the demon warrior and crooked his mouth.

Snort, the sword grazed his face.

When the sword in the sword spirit's hand pierced into the throat of the demon warrior as scheduled, the fighting energy in Roy's body was also like a flood that broke through the floodgate, rushing mightily

In the sky, the dwarven axe's eyes widened stupidly.

"This....so... Okay?"

No one answered him. He just saw that in the body of the young man with a crooked mouth, a white aura rippled like ripples on the calm water surface being smashed by stones.

The first order of vindictiveness.

Knight...... ，
