Improving the level of swordsmanship requires constant training. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Entry-level swordsmanship is the mastery of the sword, Lu Hao used to cultivate out of thin air, so being able to cultivate to the entry-level is already very remarkable, and it is also because he is a swordsmanship master.
True swordsmanship must be honed in real combat.
And if you want to break through from the subtle level of swordsmanship to the advanced level of swordsmanship, you need to have a deep combat training.
Profound swordsmanship pursues the use of the sword, which is a higher level than control.
After three days of hunting fierce beasts, Lu Hao's swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle of the advanced level, but he can't break through to the level of profound swordsmanship.
Of course, as a swordsmanship master, Lu Hao knew very well why he couldn't break through, because he hadn't gone through a relatively difficult battle, and it was very easy to hunt ordinary level fierce beasts, and there was no sense of urgency and crisis at all, so it was really difficult for swordsmanship to make another breakthrough.
So far, Lu Hao has been in the hinterland of the Blue Mountain Range for three days, hunting twenty-two fierce beasts, an average of seven or eight a day, and obtaining a total of fourteen beast cores, the harvest is good, and there are some miscellaneous things.
After three days of exploration, Lu Hao roughly figured out the geographical environment of the area where he was located, which was basically dominated by forests and grasslands, and the fierce beasts here were also very regular, basically with all kinds of fierce beasts, wild boars, Wild wolves and wild leopards are the mainstay, these three types of fierce beasts are the most, followed by some hares and pheasants, although these are different from ordinary poultry, but they are more agile, but the nature of herbivore has not changed, these fierce beasts add up to form the food chain in this area, so the fierce beasts that Lu Hao generally hunts are also these kinds.
In the past three nights, Lu Hao has eaten a hare or pheasant to roast and eat, and slept in this half-forest and half-grassland area, or hiding in a tree, or digging a soil pit, and resting in it for a night.
Now Lu Hao is a little unkempt, he plans to go back to Hundred Beast Town first, one is to rest and adjust, the second is to sell some of the gains, such as the horns of the one-horned wild boar, etc., and the third is that he will adjust the direction when he goes back this time, and he will not come to this area again, because although there are many fierce beasts in this area, but the grade is too low, now he not only wants the beast core, but also wants to improve his swordsmanship, so he wants to change an area to see if he can meet more and stronger fierce beasts.
After returning to Hundred Beast Town, Lu Hao took out some valuable things on the beast and sold them, because Hundred Beast Town is close to the Blue Mountain Range, and there is a special trading market here, and Lu Hao's things are very easy to sell.
Like the horns of the one-horned wild boar, the wolf claws of the Qingfeng wolf, the bear paws of the iron-clawed brute bear, and the leopard skin of the swift leopard can all be sold at a good price, Lu Hao sold all the miscellaneous things except the beast core, and sold a total of more than three hundred taels, which is a year's income for an ordinary family of three, which shows that hunting fierce beasts is a good business.
Lu Hao entered the Youlan Mountain Range for the second time and chose another direction, and after traveling for nearly a hundred miles, he came to a loess hilly area, which was full of undulating hills, and it was a yellow and misty area in all directions.
Whew!
Not long after Lu Hao stepped into this area, he encountered a fierce beast!
This is a wolf beast, the body is yellow, but it is very strong, the wolf body seems to be a piece of hard rock, and the hair color of the wolf's head is also golden, explosive, and it looks very fierce.
Lu Hao recognized at a glance that this was an ordinary-level fierce beast earth rock wolf, with extremely high defense, except for the facial area, there were almost no vital weaknesses, and this kind of fierce beast was very good at protecting its face, so it was generally necessary to kill this kind of fierce beast by grinding.
When the earth rock wolf saw the intruder, he roared and bared his teeth and rushed towards Lu Hao, stretching out his hard wolf claws, wanting to tear Lu Hao apart.
But who is Lu Hao, I saw his lightning shot, and a sword stabbed out, and immediately stabbed the denomination of the earth rock wolf, stabbing it to death.
The vicious earth rock wolf only let out a half-scream when it was dying, and then it was silent, and the open wolf claws stretched out into the air, and they also hung down weakly.
Lu Hao pulled out the stainless steel sword, and just wanted to pierce the head of the earth rock wolf to see if there was a beast core.
Whew!
Whew!
Whew!
At this moment, there were bursts of wolf howls from all directions.
"Oops!" Lu Hao secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he suddenly remembered that this earth rock wolf was a kind of social beast, and it usually acted together in groups of three or five.
Sure enough, just a few breaths after Lu Hao killed this earth rock wolf, many earth rock wolves rushed from all directions.
One, two, three......
Lu Hao roughly calculated, and there were more than 100 earth and rock wolves coming over this time.
Seeing this situation, Lu Hao suddenly felt a chill in his heart, hunting fierce beasts is most afraid of encountering beasts, once besieged by the beasts, even if it is a true qi realm consummation martial artist, he will die, not to be killed directly, but to be killed alive by exhausting his true qi, even if it is a small group composed of several people, he must retreat when encountering a beast group.
Moreover, this earth rock wolf is extremely difficult to kill, and it takes a lot of true qi.
Lu Hao didn't hesitate any longer, he ran away, kicked his feet, and swept out directly.
But at the same time, a group of earth rock wolves also roared wildly, rushing towards Lu Hao and biting over, their speed was extremely fast, not weaker than Lu Hao's speed at all, and in the blink of an eye, the first few earth rock wolves were about to catch up with Lu Hao, open their sharp wolf teeth, and pounce on Lu Hao.
Whoa!
Lu Hao saw that he couldn't escape, so he could only kill hard, turned around, and slashed out three swords in a row.
Three sharp sword qi stabbed the face of the three earth rock wolves with unmistakable accuracy, and these three earth rock wolves rushed to the front, as if they wanted to fight for their prey, and they didn't want to step forward to bite Lu Hao, so they were not prepared to protect their faces, and they were stabbed by Lu Hao at once.
Lu Hao's wrist flicked, and the three sword qi twisted the faces of the three earth rock wolves at the same time, and they couldn't die anymore.
At this time, the other earth and rock wolves had already surrounded them, forming a wolf pack encirclement, and they pounced on Lu Hao frantically.
Suddenly, Lu Hao fell into a bitter battle, there were too many earth and rock wolves, and many of them almost overwhelmed him, he could only desperately swing his sword to kill, as long as he relaxed a little, there would be two or three earth and rock wolves that would bite him, and even die in the end.
This is a tragic situation, Lu Hao has to face the attacks of seven or eight earth rock wolves at the same time almost every moment, he now kills at most one or two earth rock wolves at a time, and can only defend passively the rest of the time.
Soon, Lu Hao was injured, his back, shoulders and legs were bitten and scratched by the earth rock wolf, and the blood flowed.
If Lu Hao now had the cultivation that the True Qi Realm had achieved, it would be better to be able to form a protective True Qi, but now he could only carry it on his own.
In the face of this desperate situation of life and death, Lu Hao can only fight for a chance to survive by giving full play to his potential and constantly killing the earth rock wolf.
At this moment, Lu Hao got carried away, forgot the purpose of coming to the Blue Mountain Range, and forgot that he wanted to hone his swordsmanship.
At this moment, in his eyes, there is only non-stop killing, exchanging killing for survival.
His swordsmanship began to become subtle, and he no longer pursued the importance of swordsmanship moves, as long as he could hit the target, he was good swordsmanship, and as long as he could repel the gray rock wolf, he was successful swordsmanship.
Lu Hao's sword moves became more and more imaginative, completely freewheeling, in the face of the overwhelming wolf attacks, he didn't even have time to think of moves, he could only rely on instinctive sword moves to attack.
His swordsmanship has finally been sublimated, and his use of the sword has become more and more varied.
Unexpectedly, at this desperate moment of life and death, Lu Hao's advanced swordsmanship finally transformed to the level of profound swordsmanship.
Under Lu Hao's killing, the gray rock wolves continued to fall, and the corpses of the wolves continued to pile up around Lu Hao, and there were more than forty gray rock wolves that died in Lu Hao's hands.
Suddenly, the wolves stopped attacking, but they still surrounded Lu Hao in a circle, letting out bursts of wolf howls.
Yes, wolves are also some intelligent creatures, they saw that the prey in front of them was so difficult to die, and their companions around them died so much, they began to hesitate, hesitating whether they could kill the prey in front of them, on the one hand, they were unwilling to give up Lu Hao, the hard-won prey, but they were a little afraid of this powerful human being, so now they besieged but did not attack, as if they wanted to see through Lu Hao's current reality.
At this moment, Lu Hao was already covered in blood, there were many large and small wounds on his body, drenched in blood, but he still insisted on taking a breath and did not fall, Fang Cai's bloody battle made his swordsmanship finally improve, he was very happy, but he knew that it was not over yet, if the wolves continued to attack, maybe he would really die here this time.
Woohoo!
At this moment, several of the larger earth and rock wolves in the group howled a few times, and the group of wolves actually began to withdraw, and they finally chose to give up Lu Hao, the prey.
Looking at the distant earth and rock wolves, Lu Hao finally let out a long breath.
......
Just when Lu Hao was hunting fierce beasts in the Blue Mountain Range.
There is a cottage built next to the mountain more than 200 miles outside the town of Hundred Beasts.
There is a flag on both sides of the cottage gate, and there are two big characters on both sides of the flag, one is the word 'green' and the other is the word 'kill'.
If anyone sees this flag, they will definitely know that this is the most ferocious bandit force in this area, the Green Killing Gang!
The Green Killing Gang kills people and sets fires, burns, kills, loots, and does all kinds of evil.
Inside the lobby of the Green Killer Gang.
"Boss, are we really going to kill that kid named Lu Hao? He's a disciple of the Nanling Sword Sect. "The fourth master is a lean man in his thirties, named Qiu Heng, who is good at using a pair of short-edged double swords, and his true qi realm is a great cultivation.
"The old ghost surnamed Hong had a life-saving grace for me back then, and now his juniors have written to me saying that he wants me to kill this guy named Lu Hao, and promised to give me a Chongmai Pill as a reward, with the Chongmai Dan, I will have the opportunity to impact the True Yuan Realm, this deal is still very cost-effective, and besides, killing that Lu Hao in the Youlan Mountain Range, the Nanling Sword Sect does not know. "The big boss Wu Qinghu is a blue-faced strong man, with a scar on his face, a height of 1.9 meters, like an iron tower, wrapped in a black robe, with a giant broadsword on his back, and is nicknamed 'Green Killing Tiger'.
Wu Qinghu, the big boss, continued in a calm and cold voice: "The second child is resourceful, but he doesn't like to fight bravely, the third child is a woman, the fifth child is impulsive and reckless, only the fourth child is the most stable, so I sent you, you take the ten True Qi Realm masters and a group of thugs in the gang to go, and you must kill that Lu Hao in one fell swoop!"
"Yes!" the four masters, Qiu Heng, hugged his fists and led the order!
