Chapter Twenty-Four: The Wind and Fire Tribulation
This time, Li Jin was fully prepared, he was not shocked out of the formation, his spiritual power turned sharply in mid-air, he landed steadily, shook off the red and white things on the "silver ice", took out the clothes he wore and wiped his left hand, and ignored the "four-eyed bull" that had been hit hard, and turned to attack the last one.
The remaining "four-eyed bull" is like crazy, all kinds of skills are launched in turn, eyes are red as blood, white foam appears in the mouth, indiscriminately impacting and trying to break through, the red stone soldier is pierced and nailed in the air one by one, this kind of damage is not serious for it, but it has nowhere to borrow strength with both hands and feet, it hangs in the air like that, it is not a living thing after all.
Fortunately, the "Five Elements Demon Slayer" formation is no longer too dependent on the position of the stone soldiers, and only one stone soldier can operate, of course, the power will be reduced a lot, Li Jin changed the tactics this time, put away the "silver ice", and fully operated the spiritual power line of his hand, except for the size of the self-circulating Zhou Tian, the other lines are no longer running, and his hands glow with crystal light from the inside out.
Li Jin's spiritual power still can't be released from the body, but now he has an illusion, he feels that his hands are full of strength, not vomiting or unhappy, and extremely sharp, just like a newly born treasure knife, clenched fists, there is a crystal light flowing between the muscles and bones, a powerful self-confidence arises spontaneously, which is very different from the feeling of using "silver ice".
Li Jin wants to test various combat skills in actual combat and accumulate his own combat methods, he squinted his eyes and experienced a new feeling, avoiding the head of the "Four-eyed Ox" to attack its stomach, and bombarding the same part with all his strength every time, the "Four-Eyed Ox" has to deal with the attack of the stone soldiers, Li Jin's body is too erratic, it can only passively bear Li Jin's blow.
The body of the "Four-Eyed Ox", most of which has extremely strong defense, Li Jin's "Silver Ice" and Shi Bing's spear are also difficult to cause great damage to the "Four-Eyed Ox", although Li Jin's fist makes the "Four-Eyed Ox" feel pain, but he doesn't care too much, Li Jin will leave a faint fist mark every time he drops a fist, which is very shallow and inconspicuous.
Li Jin is like a piece of dog skin plaster sticking to the body of the "Four-Eyed Cow", the skill of the "Four-Eyed Ox" is already difficult to threaten Li Jin, his fists are like raindrops, with crystal light and whistling sounds, constantly falling in the same position, no matter how the "Four-Eyed Ox" dodges, it has not been able to change the situation.
With Li Jin's loud shout, a waving fist, with a string of afterimages, bombarded the stomach of the "four-eyed cow", and with a "snap", the fist exploded into a fist-shaped blood hole, and a circle of shock ripples easily tore open the entire stomach of the "four-eyed cow", and a large pile of blood and debris surged down, and the "four-eyed cow" stumbled two steps and fell headlong.
The skills of the "Four-Eyed Ox" have stopped, the "Five Elements Demon Slayer" array has been quiet a lot, Li Jin is sitting on the ground with a slight tremble, he is the main force in this battle, a little out of strength, the battle time is not too long, but Li Jin's spiritual power consumption is very large, the damage of the stone soldiers is not serious, Li Jin gasped and watched the stone soldiers clean up the mess.
Soon the battle was over, the "four-eyed bull" were all lying quietly on the ground, all around was in a mess, Li Jin was not seriously injured, and he was not in a hurry to cultivate and heal, he sighed, he originally thought that against the three more advanced demon spirits, the battle would be very fierce, but the result was unexpected.
The control of the fighter, the sensitivity to the rhythm of the battle, the use of combat skills, the excavation of one's own potential, the understanding of the exercises, the accurate judgment of the enemy and the belief in one's own victory are the essence of the battle, which is Li Jin's summary of this battle.
Skills are indeed the embodiment of one's own strength, borrowing other foreign objects as long as it is beneficial to oneself, it is also a display of one's own strength, but over-reliance will lead to putting the cart before the horse, which is not only not conducive to cultivation, but also becomes an obstacle to stimulating one's own potential, the human body itself is the real treasure house, this is Li Jin's understanding.
"Whether it's cultivation or fighting, flexible use is the fundamental, no matter what the combat effectiveness is, one's own defense is the key, it seems that I still have a long way to go" Li Jin sighed helplessly, the more he felt, the more confused he became.
Li Jin decided that in the future, he would no longer use skills and weapons as a last resort, even if he obtained spiritual skills in the future, he would use his body to fight, he felt that his own exploration was far from enough, his ability to resist physical attacks and energy attacks was too poor, and the skills of countering skills were not good, and it was not a way to always dodge.
When it was almost dark, Li Jin got up and cleaned up the battlefield, this time the harvest was not small, he did not leave the battlefield, quickly left the battlefield, returned to the cave to practice for a night, and thought about it for most of the day during the day, he was no longer confused, he had adjusted his mentality, he wanted to stimulate his potential in danger, make up for the shortcomings in the battle, challenge the limit, and seek breakthroughs.
From the next day, Li Jin no longer chooses the object of the battle, as long as the breath is not too strong, the number is not too much, he will go to war directly, and those who can fight will not leave his hands, and he will not turn around and run, the stone soldiers have rarely appeared on the battlefield, but occasionally they will practice their hands, and he feels that the stone soldiers also need to improve their grades through battle.
The skill of "Stone Soldier Trapping and Killing" has great limitations, this is the conclusion that Li Jin has come to that the "Five Elements Demon Slayer" formation is not limited by the environment, the formation is naturally formed, and the power is getting stronger and stronger, but it requires a certain amount of space, the stone soldiers are becoming more and more flexible, and the mental connection with Li Jin is getting closer and closer, and the attack and defense are also good, but there is no spiritual intelligence, and the effectiveness is not obvious.
The spiritual power lines are used separately, and the independent operation effect is very good, Li Jin has slowly become proficient, but it is very consuming spiritual power, Li Jin's current spiritual power has been extremely pure and profound, and it is still difficult to run these lines at the same time, often it will not take a few hours, Li Jin will lose his spiritual power, appear weak, and be even more unbearable when the battle is fierce.
The arduous battle lasted for more than a month, each time Li Jin dragged his tired body back to the cave, his "silver ice" had already broken, the most serious one was almost crawling back, and it took three days of cultivation to recover to the peak state, his body was obviously much stronger, his qi and blood were extremely vigorous, he was also taller, and there was a fierce murderous aura all over his body.
During this time, Li Jin fought with a lot of strange demon beasts, and he also encountered a lot of demon spirits, Li Jin found that the more demon beasts and demon spirits appeared alone, the more difficult it was to deal with, and he also encountered the battle of the demon beast group, and escaped his life in front of a demon spirit that may be a fourth-order demon spirit, and the constant dangerous battles allowed Li Jin to accumulate rich combat experience.
Once again, he dragged his almost tattered body back to the cave, it was not dark yet, the demon beasts here already knew that this was Li Jin's territory, his murderous aura made it very calm here, and there were generally no demon beasts and demon spirits to disturb him, today Li Jin dealt with five "ghost-faced demon apes", he used the "Stone Soldier Trap Kill" and "Breeze Floating Shadow", and it was still a narrow victory.
Stimulate the primary phantom array outside the cave, block the entrance of the cave, and then arrange a small device for early warning, Li Jin began to repair his injuries and restore his spiritual power, he has not entered the Heavenly Rank Bead during this time, it is too dangerous here.
Now that Li Jin's spiritual power has been cultivated to a bottleneck, his physical strength is much stronger, and he has obvious resistance to various attacks.
The body was completely repaired, and the spiritual power was restored to the peak, but Li Jin, who still wanted to realize it, was stunned in vain, with a smile on his face, and then sat down cross-legged and entered the state of cultivation.
Li Jin didn't know if other people's "Wind and Fire Tribulation" would have to wait so long, it stands to reason that he has cultivated the "Heavenly Evolution" exercise, which should be less bottlenecked than others, after all, it has been deduced by the "Heavenly Evolution Wall", which is closest to the Heavenly Dao, but Li Jin has waited too long, and his cultivation and spiritual power should have been satisfied a long time ago.
This is a problem with Li Jin's understanding, others generally have high fingers, know how to improve the realm, they will have the corresponding experience and environment, strengthen their perception, and those with poor conditions will not have Li Jin's cultivation speed, let alone cultivate indiscriminately, Li Jin is not clear about anything, and it is naturally difficult to trigger the "Wind and Fire Tribulation".
"Wind and Fire Tribulation" is the doorway to enter the "Horror Period", it is the initial throbbing of the soul, and it is also the manifestation of the communication between the gods and the soul.
Li Jin felt that a demon shadow flashed in his heart, a large flame appeared in his body, a whistling tornado raged, the fire borrowed the wind, the wind helped the fire, the body was constantly being grilled, and then being cut and torn apart by the wind blade, the boundless pain and fear of death ate Li Jin's consciousness, and countless blurred pictures appeared in his heart.
Li Jin saw his mother who died tragically, his father who died of poison, the disdainful eyes of countless people, the disappointed eyes of the old village chief, the self who cried alone when he was a child, Shi Wei who went away, and Feng Qian'er who was sad, he saw a lot, and felt that he was insignificant and despicable and worse than death.
Li Jin watched his body turn into charcoal, the raging tornado tore his body piece by piece, and it was about to turn into pieces all over the ground, and a trace of thunder and lightning fell from the sky, attached to his body, wandering, crackling, his heart was very anxious, he had a feeling that if he went down, he would die, and he had forgotten that he was in a catastrophe.
"No, I will avenge my parents' revenge, I don't need the approval of others in my life, I will go my own way, I will definitely become a strong man, I don't need to look back on the past, I want to become a new self, no matter when and where, no matter what kind of situation I face, I will never give in", Li Jin shouted loudly in his heart, and then opened his eyes.
