Xiao Han and Fang Ling walked out of the Flame City side by side, walking on the fertile road outside the city.

In the dark night, Fang Ling's body exuded a pearl and jade-like divine light, hazy and gorgeous, illuminating the road ahead, very strange.

"Senior Brother Fang, is this true qi?" Xiao Han asked boldly. "It's so beautiful..."

"Xiao Han, you should have a lot of things to ask me. But let's go hunt down the Northern Xuan Demon Emperor first. Fang Ling smiled lightly, this time facing Xiao Han, he had a taste of humility, and he gathered all the sharpness and sharpness of his body, "The Northern Xuan Demon Emperor was besieged by the demon heroes from the Northern Regions, was injured and fled, suffered endless pursuit along the way, and finally ended up in this city, with no demon power left in his body, and he urgently needed to devour human beings and nourish his injured body. ”

"Senior Brother Fang, it is said that the Demon Emperor is an extremely terrifying existence, and he must have a high-level True Qi Realm power to have the possibility of being killed. Xiao Han whispered.

"The Demon Emperor in his heyday can swallow millions of living beings in this fiery city in one bite, and there will be no scum left. Fang Ling smiled lightly.

"What, devour the creatures of a city in one go?" Xiao Han was completely shocked. Even the mind was temporarily disturbed.

"Xiao Han, you are only cultivating in the physical realm at present, and your vision is very short-sighted. This world is very large, and the territory is immense, and he will not be able to explore one of the hundred in his entire life. When you reach a high level of cultivation, you will naturally understand a lot of truths. Senior Brother Fang looked at Xiao Han slightly, and in his eyes as bright as a sword, there was a touch of undisguised appreciation, "Xiao Han, you must have had a great adventure too." You fought with Murong Xiao, who sealed the true acupoint, and was seriously injured, but your whole body was full of vitality and wantonness, and the speed of recovery from your injuries was amazing. Man is like an ancient beast. But don't worry, I won't ask you. Every warrior who moves this mountain and river has his own adventures and opportunities, as well as secrets related to life and death. ”

"Hey..."Xiao Han smiled dryly, thinking to himself, if Senior Brother Fang knew that the strange thing dormant in his heart seemed to have a great relationship with the demon clan, I am afraid that he would kill it with a sword, right?

Xiao Han's secret naturally can't be revealed, and the tattoo on the palm of the Demon Emperor on his left arm can't let anyone know about it. Every step has to be done with care. Showing a little bit of horses' feet, his life is in danger.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves behind was noisy, and dozens of cavalry officers and soldiers in the city rushed up with torches.

"Wait, two adults,"

After the officers and soldiers caught up, they turned over and dismounted one after another, and saluted very respectfully, "The two adults are going to the cemetery outside the city?"

"Lead the way. Fang Ling said lightly.

"Yes, yes," a group of officers and soldiers agreed. Lead the horse, carry the torch, and lead the way.

A few miles away from the city, there was indeed a barren tomb.

The full moon hung high in the night sky, and the moonlight, which was like an abandoned woman, shone miserably on the cold stone tablet. The bleak night breeze accompanied by the staccato sound of the erhu pulled by the grave keeper sang the ancient requiem and mourned for the sleeping dead here. There is a smell of spirits in the air.

Seeing a large group of people coming, more than a dozen grave guards stood up one after another.

"Two adults, please come here," a leader of officers and soldiers hurriedly walked towards the grave keeper with Xiao Han and Fang Ling.

Suddenly!

Xiao Han was keenly aware that the strange thing lurking in his heart slowly turned up! The tattoo on the palm of the Demon Emperor on his left arm also throbbed!

Finally!

The strange thing dormant in the heart, as well as the tattoo on the palm of the demon emperor on the left arm, warned!

Hidden in this cemetery!

"Senior Brother Fang..."Xiao Han blurted out.

"Okay, I'll know what to say," Fang Ling waved his hand, a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were hot and excited!

A group of officers and soldiers opened the way, and the two walked over.

Over there, on a lawn, a dozen grave keepers guarded the corpses of a place.

There were five rows of corpses, which had not yet been buried in the ground, and they were neatly arranged, totaling hundreds.

Wrapped in a straw mat.

The head of each corpse has a large hole, and the brain has already been sucked dry. The corpse's face was as white as paper, and its facial expression was hideous and distorted, like a ghost.

"All stand down..."

Senior Brother Fang glanced at the dead corpses on the ground and said indifferently. His pupils gradually contracted, burning with excitement and a slight solemnity.

"Khooth!"

With a sword roar, the long sword on Senior Brother Fang's back was unsheathed. If there is a spiritual jump, he will jump into the hands of Senior Brother Fang.

His hand holding the sword was steady. Rock solid.

This is an ordinary green steel sword, but in the hands of Senior Brother Fang, it glows with a peerless edge, wisps of divine light and true qi are entangled, killing gods when encountering gods, and killing ghosts when encountering ghosts.

"Ahh Stand down, quickly retreat......" The officers and soldiers and the tomb keepers were forced to be terrified by the sword qi, and they scattered and retreated like a tide.

Xiao Han couldn't help but take a small step back. And the tattoo on the palm of the Demon Emperor's left arm trembled more and more, revealing a bloodthirsty and greedy meaning.

"Damn, be safe! Do you want to suck the life essence blood of the demon clan in front of Senior Brother Fang? Isn't this looking for death!" Xiao Han raised his throat in his heart, and his mind controlled the tattoo of the palm of the demon emperor on his left arm, and took another step back.

The tattoo on the palm of the demon emperor's left arm of Xiao Han has dried up countless demon veins and runes of the demon clan, and it is necessary to nourish and awaken by constantly sucking the life essence blood of the demon clan, awakening, at the moment, this demon clan is the demon emperor who picks the stars and takes the moon, if he can suck this demon emperor, it will become the fattest nourishment for the demon emperor's palm tattoo. But Xiao Han didn't dare to do this, he had to control it, otherwise, if it wasn't good, it would expose a shocking secret, even if he didn't die here tonight, he would definitely suffer endless hunting and killing in the future, and there would be endless disasters.

"Okay, Northern Xuan Demon Emperor, stop pretending to be a ghost. Show your body!" Fang Ling's tone was still as indifferent as water, but his momentum continued to rise, and a glass-colored sword qi rushed out above his head, blooming one after another peerless sword lotus.

The night sky is set off by the peerless sword lotus, and it is extremely enchanting...

"It is worthy of being a character who has a place on the demon list. The deity shielded the demonic energy, disguised as a corpse, and did not show any traces, and they were all discovered... Awesome, awesome... However, if it weren't for you damned demon heroes, besieging the deity, chasing and killing the deity for thousands of miles, and seriously injuring the deity, the deity would be afraid !!!of you?

An eerie voice came from the corpse of a wizened old man.

The next moment...

The emaciated corpse stood up all at once!

Under the bleak moonlight, his dead side face actually outlined a tragic expression...

"Ah!!!!h

Some of the officers and soldiers and grave guards were frightened, some were incontinent, and some even knelt on the ground.

"Boom!"

The strange thing that was dormant in Xiao Han's heart surged like a tide! Faster and faster! Bursts of terrifying demonic qi erupted from the thin corpse!

Xiao Han took three steps back.

"It's so strong, even if there is something strange in my heart dissolving the demonic energy, I feel a little stressed. The Demon Emperor is the Demon Emperor, even if there is not one demon power in the hundreds, it is still more terrifying than the demon soldiers and demon generals, I don't know how many times the Dao!"

"Poof!"

The emaciated corpse exploded all at once, shattered into powder, and a behemoth rose directly into the sky!

The boundless demonic aura began to shroud out unscrupulously, overwhelming, and the evil was incomparable!

The bright moon is covered by demon clouds...

Xiao Han took five more steps back! And the whole person almost crawled down.

But fortunately, the strange thing dormant in the heart, the speed is getting faster and faster, like a motor, frantically dissolving the demonic qi, so that Xiao Han finally stood up straight.

Look up!

I saw that under the night sky, a strange creature was suspended in the air.

It is about two feet high, and the whole body is snow-white skin, showing a strange and inexplicable noble luster, shining, but at this moment, on this snow-white skin, it is covered with all kinds of scars, and the wounds are condensed with dried demon blood.

It actually has a human face!

It was a pale and handsome man's face, the eyes were turquoise, and the demon fire was burning, and if it was evaluated according to the age of a human being, this face would be about twenty-five or six years old, which could be regarded as young.

It also had a pair of fleshy wings, which were blood-red, hideous, and full of jagged spikes, and the air shattered piece by piece with a slight fan.

"So the Demon Emperor looks like this?" Xiao Han muttered in his heart. But he didn't dare to slack off, and took out a single knife from the storage ring. Embattled.

Impressively!

"Whew~~~"

As soon as the Demon Emperor moved slightly, endless phantoms were superimposed, making people completely lost and unable to find its true body. It shows a sense of mystical spatial dislocation, unable to grasp the virtual and the real.

"The movement is like a fantasy, the Northern Xuan Demon Emperor. Fang Ling's gaze stared at the Northern Xuan Demon Emperor in mid-air, wisps of sword qi derived from the Sword Realm in his pupils.

Suddenly!

Xiao Han's whole body burned! The Northern Xuan Demon Emperor in mid-air, a pair of evil demon eyes, actually stared at Xiao Han!

"Oh, a Flesh Realm Warrior, but it's weird... What are you hiding?Eat you! The deity is going to eat you!" The Northern Xuan Demon Emperor burst out with a heart-rending scream, and the phantom flashed, and he was about to pounce on Xiao Han!

It actually abandoned Fang Ling and wanted to kill Xiao Han!

"Boom!"

Xiao Han was directly blown away by the hurricane-like demonic energy, and his whole person's thinking couldn't keep up with the changes in the situation at all, and he couldn't keep up with the movements of the Northern Xuan Demon Emperor at all. Xiao Han is like a lonely boat in a raging sea at this moment, and there is a possibility of destruction at any time!

For the first time, Xiao Han felt a sense of powerlessness and deep despair, and at this moment, his sword intent seemed to be unable to work!

"It's too strong... Could it be that I, Xiao Han, am going to die here?"

The next moment, though...

"!!! Sonor"

A magnificent sword lotus, infinitely enlarged in Xiao Han's pupils, this sword lotus is purely composed of supreme sword qi, and in the absolute beauty, the killing machine of ghosts and gods is destroyed.

"Poof~~~~~~"

"Damn! the deity won't let you go!"

The screams of the Northern Xuan Demon Emperor flashed out, and disappeared between heaven and earth at a speed that surpassed the sound.

"Bang!"

Xiao Han fell down from mid-air, raised his eyes in a daze, and saw that the Northern Xuan Demon Emperor had fled, Fang Ling stood with his sword in his hand, and drops of demon blood splashed on the tip of the sword to the ground.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Han slowly got up and said worriedly. "Senior Brother Fang, it escaped?"

Now, Xiao Han's heart is tense.

Just now, the Northern Xuan Demon Emperor actually roared loudly, asking what Xiao Han was hiding on his body, and regardless of Fang Ling's deterrence, he actually wanted to eat Xiao Han first.

Xiao Han's own family knows about his own family affairs, and it must be the strange thing that lurks in his heart that attracts the Northern Xuan Demon Emperor!

Now, Xiao Han was terrified, afraid of Fang Ling's questioning.

But fortunately, Fang Ling didn't have any intention of asking, he just said lightly. "The Northern Xuan Demon Emperor is worthy of being an evil creature known for his speed, escape, and concealment among several demon emperors. Endless demon heroes, thousands of miles of pursuit, from the northern region to the southern region, hundreds of battles of all sizes, but they didn't even kill it..."

"Senior Brother Fang, this Demon Emperor is too powerful, right? There is not one demon power in a hundred, and they can all escape from your sword, if it is in its heyday, then... Isn't that terrifying? Xiao Han deliberately asked a question to divert Fang Ling's attention.

"If the Northern Xuan Demon Emperor was in his heyday, I would never dare to kill it alone. And it will also suffer from its counter-killing. That's it, it's dying at the moment, and sooner or later it will be killed by other demon heroes. Fang Ling waved his hand, "Xiao Han, you come with me now." ”

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Fang. Xiao Han licked his lips and secretly exhaled a fluke, the strange thing that was dormant in his heart, as well as the tattoo on the palm of the Demon Emperor's hand on his left arm, also calmed down, and the ancient well did not wave.

......

Half an hour later, far away from a barren mountain in the Burning City.

In the col.

Burn up a bonfire. Xiao Han beat a few hares and was barbecuing, the grease was dripping, and the aroma was tangy.

"Senior Brother Fang, are you hungry, right?" Xiao Han handed a roasted hare to Fang Ling.

Fang Ling sat cross-legged and said with a light smile. "Xiao Han, eat it, I'm not hungry. ”

"Oh..."Xiao Han also sat cross-legged, he was hungry at the moment, and he was not polite, he tore and ate the hare in a big gulp, and his mouth was full of oil.

"Xiao Han, how do you feel about today's events?" Fang Ling suddenly asked.

"Hmm... Senior Brother Fang, my thoughts are ...... There are ants under the true qi, I feel very useless, in front of the true qi realm, I can't resist like an ant. The gap between the true qi realm and the physical body realm is eternally separated by heaven and man. Xiao Han wiped the greasy corners of his mouth, and said a little decadently.

"You don't have to be like this, in a short period of time, you have gone from a living target to your current cultivation, and your physical realm is almost invincible, and you are already a first-class demon. Fang Ling said flatly. "However, if you can't advance to the True Qi Realm, no matter how talented you are in the Physical Body Realm, you will be a waste, and sooner or later you will be killed, just like today. Xiao Han, in this world, the realm is very large, with a population of more than trillions, and countless geniuses have been born, but many geniuses have either died in the physical realm, or they have been unable to see the true qi realm for the rest of their lives, and they will eventually become ill. Seriously, if you don't cultivate to the true qi realm, it's all waste material. However, Xiao Han, you can be regarded as having a good foundation, and your grasp of impacting the true qi realm is greater than others. ”

"So, Senior Brother Fang, what's going on in the True Qi Realm?" Xiao Han hurriedly asked. In the past, there was no opportunity to explore this kind of question, and even the three principals couldn't answer it, but now Senior Brother Fang, a great master of the True Qi Realm, was in front of him, and he didn't ask anything.

"The so-called true qi realm is that the martial artist tempers the flesh to the fullest and strongest state by refining the muscles and skin, refining the bones, refining the viscera, refining the marrow, and exchanging blood, and then begins to polish the spirit, to polish the spirit to be transparent and flawless, invincible to all evils, sharp as a knife, without any trace of impurities. Then, the next step is to open the true acupoint, with the purest spiritual power, to sense the real acupoint of the human body, and break the real acupoint, and attract the true qi into the body. There are 101 true acupoints in the human body, therefore, breaking 1~10 true acupoints is the first stage of the true qi realm, and breaking 11~20 true acupoints is the second stage of the true qi realm...... Breaking through 91~100 true acupoints is the tenth stage of the true qi realm. The last of the most acupuncture points, in the center of the eyebrows, is also called the 'fairy hole', 'fairy eye', once this acupoint is opened, the legend is that you can become an immortal. However, this true acupoint is the most mysterious, as far as I know, in the entire True Martial Continent, it seems that no one has opened the 'Immortal Acupoint'. But I don't know if there are any hidden masters in the road. After all, the Zhenwu Continent is too vast, and there are too many things about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”

"It turns out that the True Qi Realm is like this... The True Qi Realm is divided into ten sections, and the last is the 'Immortal Cave' at the center of the eyebrows, I understand..."Xiao Han listened and understood.

"Why do you say that the Flesh Body Realm can never defeat the True Qi Realm?" Fang Ling continued. "Manpower is sometimes poor, and no matter how strong the body is, it will reach an extreme, and if it exceeds this extreme, it will explode. As far as the physical realm is concerned, the strongest flesh shell I know is the body with the power of 800 tripods. It's already talented. And the True Qi Realm, even if it is a section of the True Qi Realm, each True Qi Realm has at least 1,000 True Qi equivalent to the amount of True Qi stored in each True Qi Realm. As for the higher True Qi Rank, its strength is completely beyond what the Flesh Body Realm can imagine. It's like an ant who never understands the power and means of a giant beast. ”

"Ah, in the True Qi Realm section, each True Acupoint has at least 1,000 tripods stored, and the flesh realm cultivation has reached the extreme, which is 7.800 tripods. It is true that the physical body realm can never compete with the true qi realm, and the true qi realm martial artist can open 2 true acupoints casually, and the strength is several times that of the physical body realm martial artist. Xiao Han nodded.

"Moreover, once you reach the realm of true qi, refining qi into a mang, into a flying rainbow, transcendent in the outside of things, you can practice all kinds of divine skills, the power is endless, and with a gesture, you can move mountains and reclaim the sea, capture the dragon and throw the elephant, pick the stars and take the moon. It can also fly, hang in the air, and be unpredictable. Senior Brother Fang elaborated.

"Great! If I, Xiao Han, could cultivate to the True Qi Realm, how great would it be? It's just a step to the sky!" Xiao Han blurted out.

"Xiao Han, impacting the True Qi Realm is difficult to climb to the sky. Take the Yunyu Sect as an example, how many of the countless half-step true qi have succeeded in winning the championship and breaking through the true acupoint? Don't look at the half-step true qi is only half a step away from the true qi realm, and this half-step is the heavenly moat! This is the eternal separation between heaven and man! Countless geniuses have stopped at this second half step! To take the second half step, they will be like a mortal transformed into an immortal? How difficult do you say it is for a carp to leap over the dragon gate? This half-step requires accumulation, foundation, great perseverance, great determination, great fearlessness, great bravery, great adventure, great opportunity, and atmospheric luck...... Difficult! difficult! difficult!" Fang Ling's tone did not contain the slightest exaggeration.

These words made Xiao Han feel pressured... It's difficult, it's really too difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, I, Xiao Han, have to crush all the obstacles and reach the True Qi Realm, otherwise, I'll always be just an ant! If I don't cultivate to the True Qi Realm, I, Xiao Han, would rather die! No matter how well my physical body is refined, what if I encounter the True Qi Realm, like today, I haven't been crushed into slag, and there is no room for resistance at all!

"Senior Brother Fang, what is a demon hero? You seem to be a demon hero too, right?" Xiao Han continued to ask.

"Xiao Han, the matter of the demon man, you don't need to know too much about it for the time being, this is already beyond your ability. I'll tell you simply, the demon hero was born from the strongest in the true qi realm of the human race. Born not afraid of demons. It's almost born to kill the demon clan. To become a demon hero, you must pass layers of tests, temper life and death again and again, and die nine times before it is possible. It can be said that every demon hero is a leader in the True Qi Realm, a genius in the sky. The most important thing for you now is to impact the True Qi Realm, and when you become a True Qi Realm martial artist, then ask about the Demon Hero. Fang Ling said without hesitation.

"Xiao Han, now I'll give you a choice," Suddenly, Fang Ling's tone became solemn.

"Senior Brother Fang, what choice?" Xiao Han was shocked in his heart.

The next moment, there was an extra black pill in Fang Ling's hand, the size of a dragon's eye, with a faint primeval aura fluctuating, and a breath of death.

"'Seven Days of Seeking Death Pill', this is the supreme elixir I got from a secret realm in the Western Regions, and it is taken by martial artists in the Flesh Realm. Fang Ling looked at Xiao Han.

"Uh...'Seven Days Death Pill', Senior Brother Fang, the name of this pill is so weird... Full of bad luck. Like the name of a poison. Xiao Han licked his lips.

"This 'seven-day pill of death' can also be regarded as poison. Fang Ling's eyes became sharp. "Flesh Realm martial artist, if you take this pill, within seven days, you will definitely die!"

"What?" Xiao Han's whole body shook violently, "Senior Brother Fang... This... It's poison ... Don't... You... You want me to take it?"

"Xiao Han, take this 'Seven Days Death Pill', if you want not to die, there is only one way, within seven days, break through the first true acupoint and step into the supreme true qi realm!" Fang Ling said sonorously. "This pill can be understood as a poison, but it is also a supreme treasure medicine that impacts the true qi realm, and it is hard to find! This is an ancient pill that has lost its refining method. After taking this pill, within seven days, the spirit will be transparent and unsullied, the nerves will be tense all the time, and the life potential will be stimulated to the greatest extent, which can directly make the physical body realm impact the grasp of the true qi realm, and increase by three percent!"

Oh my God! Heaven and man are eternally separated! The true qi realm that is extremely difficult can now be improved by 30% to attack! The peerless treasure medicine! It is hard to find in ten thousand years! But the only and fatal flaw is that within seven days, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent! If you don't reach the true qi realm, you will die!

Suddenly, Fang Ling said sharply. "Xiao Han, this 'Seven Days Death Pill' is an ancient relic, and the medicinal power has begun to volatilize, and after a few months, I am afraid that the medicinal effect will be completely lost. Do you dare to take a gamble? Let me tell you, when the physical body realm impacts the true qi realm, the one who takes the most advantage and has the most advantage is the martial artist who has comprehended the sword intent or sword intent. Sword intent and sword intent can cut out nothingness, shatter all kinds of negative emotions, and polish the spirit. Anyone who has sword intent or sword intent in the flesh realm martial arts, the grasp of impacting the true qi realm is at least twenty percent! Xiao Han, you have comprehended the sword intent, and there is no one in ten thousand among the swordsmen!"

"Xiao Han, I see that you have also experienced many life and death tribulations, and the impurities in your spirit have been calcined and refined, which makes you have two percent of your heritage!"

"That is to say, taking the 'Seven Days Seeking Death Pill', plus your sword intent, plus your current background, you are seventy percent sure that you will be able to reach the true qi realm!"

"Do you dare to bet? Take this 'Seven Days Death Pill' and bet three with seven! Within seven days, you will either ascend to the sky in one step or die!"

"If you just want to go back to participate in the outer door qualifying tournament and win the title of the first in the outer gate, and then stay in the blood exchange realm, half a step of true qi, and you can't cross the gap for the rest of your life, then you can go back. ”

"If you want to ascend to the sky in one step, and then walk out of the Beacon Fire Empire, or even out of the Southern Regions, to explore the infinite unknown, then you can gamble! I will help you exchange blood, and take you to the Western Regions, hone your spirit, and forcibly impact the True Qi Realm!"

"This is a creation, it depends on whether you dare to gamble with your life!"
