In the southern part of the Xuanwu Domain, the third battalion of the Second Army of the Xuanwu Army.

“...... It is said to be Ganyu, gathering the cohesion of death, going to life and turning into nothing. ”

As Guan Xin had guessed, Qiao Xiaodao had already begun the cultivation of one of the thirteen secrets of the Witch Dao, the Liver Elm Sullen Spiritual Technique.

In the past two months, Qiao Xiaodao has become a mid-level capable person with this exercise, but in addition to cultivation, his temperament has also undergone tremendous changes.

Sullen.

Qiao Xiaodao is not very old, among the imperial army that can join the army at the age of thirteen, his age belongs to the youngest group, logically speaking, he should be a typical representative of vigor - he was indeed in the past.

But now, he often stays alone in the military tent to practice, and does not light the lamp, and the whole person has lost weight, and in the entanglement of a black gas, his appearance is extremely gloomy.

To put it more precisely: he doesn't look like a living person right now!

This exercise book is indeed as Qiao Dingtong expected, and it is extremely suitable for Qiao Xiaodao's physique, but Qiao Dingtong has not really cultivated this exercise after all, so he doesn't know the details of this exercise.

The Liver Elm Filthy Spiritual Recipe has the attribute of the Secret Path, but it doesn't stop there, it also contains another one-the Corpse Path.

The corpse path is extremely special because it is a kind of exercise that goes against the avenue.

Generally speaking, the cultivation of the capable person is to allow himself to break through the shackles of biology and achieve the result of life evolution, which usually requires the dual evolution of the body and soul, but the corpse path has chosen a diametrically opposite path.

First of all, the corpse path gave up the option of life evolution, and instead focused on absorbing the opposite power of life power, death qi.

Through this method, as long as the corpse path ability has enough dead energy, the body of the corpse path ability can be improved without limit, and there is no way to break the barrier.

Correspondingly, those with corpse path abilities also face a huge risk, that is, the effect of death qi on the soul.

Death Qi is the carrier of all negative emotions, once the soul is infected by Death Qi, then the reason will be gradually weakened, which greatly increases the risk of the capable person going mad.

Qiao Dingtong didn't know this, and if he knew, he would definitely not choose to let his younger brother practice such an exercise.

As for Qiao Xiaodao, he had already realized this when he was cultivating, but he still chose to continue cultivating without hesitation.

The first kill of the fifth-level beast soldier was a killing move that he had accumulated after mixing in the battlefield and secretly absorbing the death qi on the battlefield, and with this killing move, he could achieve a fatal blow.

This was followed by cheers and adoration from his comrades, and then a sense of pride began to spring up in his heart, along with an even stronger demand for strength.

Every time he fought, he would absorb countless dead qi, use killing moves to kill the high beast soldiers, and at the same time devour all the huge amount of death qi produced by the death of the high beast soldiers, and in the process of repeating themselves, even he didn't realize that his body had undergone some irreversible changes.

Whether it's good or bad, no one knows.

......

The battle in the Xuanwu Domain went very smoothly, and the barbarian beast tide codenamed Yuyuan was forced back by the two armies towards the southeast border, except for three successful assaults on the third-level towns and cities, Yuyuan Chao failed to cause more damage.

Correspondingly, the battle in the White Tiger Domain is equally reassuring.

Last year, after the ban on the first-level defense line was lifted, the White Tiger Army led by Ms. Eva, the lord of White Tiger City, immediately rushed eastward, and had the first head-on conflict with the brute beast tide codenamed Amber Demon.

This was originally a battle achievement, but some rumors began to appear in the White Tiger Domain, and the general content was that Eva left a hand in the battle with the Barbarian Beast Tide, and did not really do her best to exterminate the Barbarian Beast Tide, but just pretended to make a gesture and only forced it back to calm the people's grievances.

The White Tiger Army was extremely annoyed by this kind of rhetoric, but the problem is that the rhetoric itself is not unreasonable.

Ms. Eva's reputation resounded throughout the empire, and she was regarded as a model for women with abilities, and her own strength had already reached the level of rank or above, and it was naturally easy to kill a sixth-level beast general, but when she was fighting with the leader of the brute beast tide, she failed to kill the seventh-level demon beast, but let the other party lead the army to flee the battlefield, which is an indisputable fact.

Ms. Eva, who can be called the first person with female ability, has a phase-level cultivation second only to the highest combat power of the human race, but she has not been able to kill a seventh-level beast general, which is unreasonable.

As a result, more and more malicious remarks were made about Eva until another person appeared.

An organization, to be precise.

......

"The good deeds of the White Tiger City Lord have saved hundreds of thousands of lives, give up the doubts in your heart, embrace the existing facts, and don't let the delusions of malice hinder your judgment......"

In the middle of the White Tiger Domain, at the ruins of the second-tier town city of Tevinus, a man wearing a hat and a gray linen robe was standing in the ruins, spreading a peaceful message to the hundreds of homeless people kneeling around him in the drizzle.

The top of the man's head is beardless, and his eyebrows are also hung cleanly, revealing a kind meaning between his eyebrows, which is the Raffles who was originally thought of by Gu Changli as a Buddha, that is, the Buddha Mingjing.

After a short time, Spiegel finished his preaching, and looked at the homeless people below, although they were sitting in the drizzle, but their expressions were extremely religious, and they were extremely trusting in his words, and they couldn't help but have a look of satisfaction in their eyes.

Suddenly, he saw someone beckoning to him not far away, and at a glance it was another believer—Santos.

Spiegel got off the platform and walked in front of Santos.

"Master!"

Spiegel folded his palms together and accepted Santos's courtesy, then asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's the lord of Eva, she happened to be passing by this neighborhood and sent someone to say that she wanted to meet the master. ”

"Just passing by?"

A smile appeared on Spiegel's face, which made Santos feel very peaceful, but it also seemed to contain deep meaning.

"In that case, the poor monk should go and meet the city lord now, but we can't let her wait for a long time. ”

After speaking, Spiegel turned around and explained a few words to the several linen-robed Buddha disciples in the ruins, and then rushed towards the place where Eva was stationed with Santos.

In two quarters of an hour, they arrived at the tent.

"Master!"

The sergeant in charge of the reception showed great respect for Spiegel, not only because of the White Tiger City Lord's personal invitation, but also for other reasons.

Spiegel smiled softly and followed the sergeant to the middle tent.

Lifting the curtain, Spiegel soon saw the figure of the venerable woman, sitting in the middle of the tent, with food on two long tables, apparently prepared for them.

Mingjing immediately took off his hat and took Santos to bend down and salute: "Buddha Mingjing, I have seen the White Tiger City Lord." ”

Eva looked up, revealing a beautiful face that could not tell her age, her silver hair was tied in a knot around her forehead, and she wore a tiger-shaped hair crown inlaid with white spars on her head.

I saw her raise her hand and said with a smile: "Master Spiegel doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat quickly." ”

Spiegel was not polite, nodded and sat down at the long table opposite, and Santos sat down next to him.

"Master, I have ordered someone to prepare food and drinks, and if the master does not dislike it, please have a luncheon with me. ”

The poor monk took the liberty of disturbing him. Spiegel's smile was genuine.

Eva smiled, picked up the small wine glass in front of her, and raised it towards the mirror: "The master should be able to drink, right?"

"Wine can mess with people's minds, but if you can keep your heart clear, why not?"

With that, Spiegel raised his glass and looked at Eva from a distance, then raised his head and took a sip.

"Good wine!"

Eva smiled: "This wine is a specialty of White Tiger City, silver snow dew, if the master is happy, I will order someone to prepare a few jars for the master to take away." ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand to signal to her subordinates.

Ming Spiegel immediately waved his hand: "The city lord is kind, the poor monk has received it, but although the wine is good, you still can't drink too much, so you don't have to bother." ”

Hearing him say this, Eva's raised hand was lowered.

"Master Spiegel, I really want to thank you for inviting you here. ”

"Don't dare to be!" Spiegel smiled: "If the city lord refers to the remarks about quelling the war, then there is no need to thank the poor monk, because the poor monk is just telling the truth." ”

Eva sighed.

"The master is kind, Eva knows it in her heart, but this is not the case, in the war, I did keep my hand. ”

Hearing this, Santoston's eyes widened and he looked a little surprised, but Spiegel's expression did not change at all, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all.

He folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name: "The city lord does not have to blame himself, the poor monk believes that the city lord must have a reason behind this action." ”

Eva smiled bitterly: "What the master said is right, I am indeed helpless. ”

As she spoke, she stood up, her armor clanging.

"In the past two hundred years, countless lives have died in the attack of barbarian beasts, although I, Eva, as a woman, still hope to avenge the human race and put an end to the war of the barbarians. Unfortunately, it's not that simple...... Master, I wonder if you know about the Human-Barbarian Agreement?"

Spiegel nodded: "Naturally, I know!"

"But the master must not know the specific terms of the barbarian agreement, right?"

"That's true. ”

Eva shook her head: "A hundred years ago, the Great Emperor forced back the barbarian beasts and signed a human-barbarian agreement, which did not quell all the wars, but listed an absolute realm belonging to human beings with the first-level defense line of the empire, and during the validity of the agreement, the barbarian beasts must not cross this boundary, and at the same time, outside the first-level defense line, the barbarian beasts above the beast king level are prohibited from interfering in the war." This is the terms set by the emperor. ”

A look of wisdom flashed in Spiegel's eyes: "Beastmaster level is not allowed to participate in the battle...... On the human side, is there a corresponding limit?"

"The master really has a wise heart. Eva nodded: "The high combat power of the brute beast is restricted from participating in the war, and correspondingly, on our human side, those with similar abilities cannot join the battlefield." ”

"However, you have joined the battle, Castle Lord......"
