() The moon looms in the clouds.

Tianxiao's tendons and tendons were broken by the man in black. He was a little desperate in his heart, now he was a waste, even if he escaped from the palm of the man in black in the future, he would no longer be able to practice sword cultivation and demonization.

"Should I tell him all the secrets just now?" Tianxiao suddenly had such a thought in his heart, but he quickly denied it. Judging from the cruel and ruthless nature of the man in black, the first thing he must do after knowing the secret must be to kill him and take the Sky Splitting Knife. He didn't understand why the man in black was so interested in cultivating demons.

Looking at the strength of the man in black, he is also an immortal cultivator in the Silent Extinction Realm. Even if he was interested in cultivating demons, there was no way to go back and rebuild. Could it be because of the hatred of the sword demon? Then it should be the killer as soon as he finds out about the Tianxiao cultivator.

There are many doubts in my heart, but today I can only resign myself to fate.

Suddenly, he felt the man in black slow down. Through the hazy moonlight, he observed the scene ahead, the familiar courtyard, the familiar house, isn't this exactly where Jingren Village himself lives? Why did the man in black send him back again?

Soon, he realized that he had made a mistake, and the man in black did not enter the courtyard, but kicked open the door of a villager's house next door.

This neighbor Tianxiao is very familiar, a family of four, a simple couple, and a pair of unmarried daughters. When the man in black entered the courtyard, he kicked open the door of the house. The husband, who heard the noise, came out of the back room with sleepy eyes, and was surprised when he saw the man in black, and stammered, "You, who are you?"

The man in black threw Tianxiao on his shoulder to the stool, drew his sword and "brushed" it at the villager, cutting off a leg, and before the unlucky man could scream, the man in black chased after him and slashed his throat.

After killing the innocent man, the man in black turned around and looked at Tianxiao: "Do you say it or not?"

Tianxiao finally knew the purpose of the man in black carrying him back to Jingren Village, what a cruel and despicable method!

At this time, after the man's wife heard the strange noise, she also walked out of the back room, and the man in black turned around with a sword, cut off her head, and fell to the ground with a "bang", rolling to the feet of Tianxiao, and her eyes were full of shock and fear. The headless corpse fell limply, blood splattering onto the curtain. The man in black tore down the curtain and wiped the blood from his sword.

"You are so despicable, you want to kill me, why do you want to kill innocent people!" roared Tianxiao angrily.

"Hmph. The man in black sneered, rushed into the back room, and after a few screams, he walked out with the heads of the two daughters of the family.

"There are dozens of villagers, I'll see how long you can consume!" In Tianxiao's eyes, the man in black is simply a demon who kills people without blinking.

The man in black once again carried Tianxiao and prepared to go to the next villager's house to slaughter.

"Lao Li......" A person suddenly walked in at the gate of the courtyard. It's really unfortunate that after hearing the screams just now, the villagers from the next family came to take a look at the situation, and when they saw the man in black, he was stunned for a moment.

Tianxiao was very anxious, and as soon as he said: "Don't ......", the man in black made a move, and the villager could not escape his fate.

"Don't kill it, I say!" said Tianxiao. The man in black is so ruthless, if he doesn't say anything, the villagers will suffer.

"I warn you, don't play tricks, otherwise, I'll ask the villagers to bury you!" said the man in black.

"Then you have to agree, I told you that you will not kill any innocent villagers again!"

The man in black laughed: "As long as you are obedient, I will naturally not kill innocents in vain." Say, why do you cultivate demons?"

"It was secretly taught to me by a mysterious senior. Tianxiao replied.

"Mysterious senior, what mysterious senior, tell me clearly!"

"It's all said to be a mysterious senior, how can you say it clearly?"

The man in black also makes sense when he thinks about it, cultivating demons is a big secret, and it is natural to hide his identity. "Where is that man now?"

"That senior has passed away. "Tianxiao's words are not lies, the Black Knife Patriarch is soul has indeed dissipated.

Hearing the word "deceased", the man in black didn't seem to be very happy, he grabbed Tianxiao's collar and threatened: "Don't play tricks on me! How did he die? When did he die? What did he leave behind?"

Tianxiao replied calmly: "He died after being seriously injured by the enemy, and he has been dead for sixteen years, and he only left me a weapon. ”

The man in black immediately slapped Tianxiao in the mouth: "Nonsense! There are no treasures left, how did you cultivate the demon? Where did your Xuan Power come from? It seems that you are still not honest." ”

The corners of Tianxiao's mouth oozed blood, and his eyes were still very calm: "I didn't lie to you." The weapon he left me contains Xuan Qi, and this is the source of my Xuan Power. ”

"What weapon, take it out!" said the man in black's voice with a hint of excitement. He had already found out that Tianxiao was a mid-stage cultivator, and it was already rare for the weapon to contain Xuan Qi, and Tian Xiao could still cultivate to such a realm with Xuan Qi, which showed that the weapon must be a rare treasure.

"No, I can't take it out, that weapon was sealed in my body by my seniors, and it was said that it would not automatically appear until I cultivated into a sword demon. Tianxiao lied. He knew in his heart that once he took out the Sky Splitting Knife, he was afraid that he would not be far from death.

"Sealed in the body?" the man in black was surprised, but he also couldn't hide his disappointment. However, he didn't believe Tianxiao's words, "Is that weapon a knife?" asked the man in black as he grabbed Tianxiao's wrist and probed carefully, hoping to find the mysterious weapon. Of course, this is just in vain.

"It's a knife. Tianxiao nodded.

"Hmm. The knife is the hegemon of weapons, and of course demon cultivators should use knives. The man in black found that there was a faint source of Xuan Qi in Tianxiao's body, but he couldn't take it out at all, so he let go of his wrist. But the words that the man in black said inadvertently made Tianxiao suspicious. The tone in which he spoke just now,

Not quite like an immortal cultivator.

Tianxiao's gaze fell on the sword in the hand of the man in black, the sword body was very bright, reflecting the candlelight in the room, but he couldn't help but be secretly surprised by the strangeness he suddenly discovered.

From the very beginning, Tianxiao always felt that something was not right, but now he finally thought that the sword in the hand of the man in black did not shine! In other words, he was not holding an immortal sword, but an ordinary mortal sword.

This is too strange, if it is a powerful immortal cultivator, why doesn't he even have an immortal sword? Could it be that it is deliberately hidden?

Tianxiao thought of his own pine-patterned fairy sword. Ever since he had given birth to the Xuanli Yuan Infant, the Loose Pattern Sword had lost its usefulness. Spiritual power and Xuan power are already mutually restrictive, and using a loose sword will consume the Xuan power in the body, so it is better to use a mortal sword, so when Tianxiao left Taiqing Sect, he left the pine sword and the letter together.

Could it be that this man in black is the same? Suddenly, all the doubts were connected together in the middle of his mind, Tianxiao's heart was shocked, and he blurted out: "You are a sword demon!"

The man in black was taken aback: "Hugh wants to talk nonsense!"

"You don't have to hide it anymore. How could an immortal cultivator not have an immortal sword?"

"How do you know that I don't have a fairy sword, and this mortal sword is enough to deal with you!" the man in black argued.

"Then you explain how you know the word 'Xuanli'?" Even Lu Hailong didn't know about "Xuanli", but only called it "the opposite of the attribute of spiritual power". Ever since he met the man in black, he has been using the word "Xuanli".

The man in black was stunned, and then smiled: "I didn't expect you to be so careful, it was indeed my negligence." ”

"No wonder you're so interested in me cultivating demons, if it were an immortal cultivator, I'm afraid you would have killed me a long time ago. "Heaven is good.

"And how do you know I'm a sword demon?" asked the man in black with interest.

"In the entire Qinglong Continent, I am the only one who can cultivate the Demon Dao. If you also have Xuan Power in your body, it must not be cultivated later, but from the beginning. Therefore, there is only one possibility, you are the sword demon who survived the battle of immortals and demons back then!" The battle between immortals and demons was hundreds of years ago, if this man in black is really a sword demon, how long has he lived?

"Hahaha......" The man in black suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and after laughing stopped, he said in a low voice, "I really can't imagine that I have endured it for so long, and now I have been recognized by a kid from the Empty Netherworld! Yes, I am the Sword Demon!"

Although the man in black confessed, Tianxiao's mind was still full of questions, and just as he was about to open his mouth, the man in black suddenly said viciously: "Since you have guessed my identity, I can't let you go......"

Tianxiao was stunned in his heart, it seemed that he would not be able to escape death after all. "If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”

"Hehe, who said I'm going to kill you?" the man in black smirked, "I'm still using you for keeping." After speaking, he took out a medicine bottle from his arms, removed the cork, poured out a black pill, and stuffed it into Tianxiao's mouth: "If you want to live, swallow it!"

"It's smelly......" Tianxiao's expression was extremely painful, and the black elixir melted in his mouth and turned into a puddle of slime, which was not only extremely stinky, but also had a strong spicy taste. He swallowed the mucus as he swallowed the spicy sensation as it ran down his throat and into his stomach, but the stench in his mouth did not dissipate. Tianxiao retched twice, but he couldn't spit out anything, the spicy smell made him cry, and it became more and more intense, finally, he couldn't hold it anymore, and he was stunned.

The man in black looked at Tianxiao, who was unconscious on the ground, and said to himself: "Hehe, stinky boy, you have the blessing to eat the arrogant pill I personally refined, you are still the first in the Qinglong Continent." ”

"It seems that this place cannot be stayed for long. The man in black thought, "We'll have to settle the trouble first." He ignored the heavens on the ground, kicked lightly, crossed the courtyard wall, and went to the house next door.

......

Tianxiao opened his eyes in a daze, and vaguely saw a figure shaking in front of him, and there seemed to be many people lying on the ground, but he was so tired that his eyelids drooped down, and he fell asleep again.

......

"Tick", "tick", the cold water droplets hit his face, Tianxiao slowly opened his eyes and gradually woke up. "Ah......" He suddenly felt a pain in his head, and quickly rubbed his temples with his hands. "Huh?" he came back to his senses, and was greatly surprised, how could his hands move again? not only his hands, but also his feet, the wounds on his wrists and ankles had healed, leaving only a reddish mark, and even the right arm, which had been twisted by the man in black, all the bones were now intact.

Tianxiao sat up and looked around. He was sitting on a stone platform, which was located in a corner of the cave. The cave is narrow and damp, which makes it uncomfortable. The cave is not deep, but it is still dark outside, so it is very dark inside.

A figure walked in from the entrance of the cave, and it was the man in black. When he saw Tianxiao, he said coldly: "You woke up, not bad, not bad." ”

"What's good?"

"After eating my arrogant pill, I woke up after only a month in a coma. There was no compliment in the tone of the man in black.

"A month?" Tianxiao was very surprised, he didn't expect that he had been in a coma for so long, "Is the 'Arrogant Pill' the kind of black pill you gave me......?

The man in black said dissatisfiedly: "'Be arrogant' before you think it stinks! My arrogant pill means 'I am the greatest in heaven and on earth', what do you know?"

"Did you heal my injuries?" Tianxiao actually understood that there could be no one else except the man in black, he was just a little puzzled, and he didn't know why the man in black did this.

"Knowingly ask!"

"Why?"

"Don't ask so much. In the future, as long as you obediently listen to me, I will naturally not embarrass you. "Humanity in black.

Tianxiao suddenly remembered to see it in a daze

He asked eagerly, "What were you doing in the field after I fell unconscious that night?"

"Oh, so you saw it. It's nothing, I sent all the people from Jingren Village to see Hades. The man in black said casually.

"What?" Tianxiao understood, and at that time he saw the people lying on the ground, which were actually the corpses of the villagers, "You are so despicable! You promised me not to kill anyone!" He has lived in Jingren Village for more than ten years, although he has not had much contact with the villagers, but those people are kind and simple people, and even the grave of his father and mother has always been taken care of by them, and they were all killed by the men in black.

The man in black said vigorously: "I only promise you not to kill innocent people, they are not innocent, so ......" He said, raising his right arm and making a gesture of slashing his neck.

"What do you mean by 'not innocent'? They have no grievances with you, and they don't know your secrets, why do you want to kill people?" you say!" Tianxiao roared at the man in black, and the indifferent attitude of the man in black made him resentful.

"Anyone who might cause trouble, has to die. The man in black said viciously, "There is a dead person in the village, and you are gone, won't the others be suspicious?" In order to prevent anyone from tracking down your whereabouts, I simply gave the villagers a break!"

Tianxiao was indignant, but he didn't know what to say. The black-clothed man had a cruel heart and vicious methods, which made Tianxiao doubt the way of demon cultivation for the first time. In his opinion, those who like swords should have a bold spirit, the sword is the king of soldiers, and the sword is the overlord of soldiers. Hegemony is not the meaning of hegemony, but the heroism of the megatron side. Therefore, he always felt that there was nothing wrong with both sides of that immortal and demon war, it was just an earth-shattering battle to decide who was the strongest. But if the sword demons are all such cruel characters like the men in black, Tianxiao feels that those sword demons are innocent of death. A person who disregards the lives of others is a great insult to the word "strong".

As if sensing what Tianxiao was thinking, the man in black said coldly: "Stinky boy, those who have become big things since ancient times are not informal. Drilling too much, when will you be able to cultivate a sword demon?"

"You kind of sword demon, you can't cultivate!" Tianxiao was angry with contempt and disdain, "Cultivation has actually refined human nature, no wonder you call it a 'demon', you devil, devil!"

The man in black was not angry, but just shook his head: "Do you know that in the hearts of demon cultivators, 'demon' is the highest and most holy word. Do you know how the sword immortals slaughtered demon cultivators back then? In the face of absolute standpoints, all benevolence and righteousness are fake, and only the 'strong are respected'. If you want to be kind, you also have to look at the current situation, if you let the immortal cultivators know about your demon cultivation, you can still live?"

Tianxiao was silent, but he was not persuaded by the words of the man in black. There were already several immortal cultivators who knew about Tianxiao Demon Cultivators, but they didn't arbitrarily hate themselves. The most important thing is actually the human heart. Whether it is cultivating immortals or cultivating demons, there must be good people and bad people. Tianxiao remembered what Master Yu Ruijiang said to him: "Those who do good deeds are respected, and those who do evil are punished." Listening to the tone of the man in black, he should have experienced the tragic battle of immortals and demons, and he already had prejudices in his heart. Tianxiao knew that he couldn't convince him, and he didn't want to convince him, once he told his experience of cultivating immortals first and then cultivating demons, I was afraid that Taiqing Sect would be in trouble.

The man in black saw that Tianxiao was silent, thinking that his words had an effect, and his tone softened a lot: "Boy, I have been hiding in the Qinglong Continent for hundreds of years, and I am already close to despair. I really didn't expect that God finally opened his eyes, and in a place where there was no trace of mystery, I actually met a person who could cultivate demons, hahaha! The master who taught you the magic of cultivating demons should also be one of the sword demons back then. ”

"I don't know. "Tianxiao didn't say much.

"Boy, I see that you have good bones and some spirituality, do you want to be my apprentice?"

Tianxiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "I don't want to!"

"Don't you want to practice superb sword techniques? I'm a sword demon! With my guidance, your cultivation speed will definitely be greatly improved. You have a weapon containing Xuan Qi, and cultivating into a sword demon is just around the corner!" the man in black tempted.

Tianxiao still shook his head, and said secretly in his heart: "How can your sword technique be compared to the Black Sword Ancestor's "Yutian Sword Codex"?

Seeing that Tianxiao didn't buy it, the man in black was a little anxious, paced back and forth in the hole with his hands behind his back, and said, "Stinky boy, do you know how many people have wanted to worship me as a teacher to learn my sword skills?"

Tianxiao teased him: "Come on, if you are very powerful, why did you stay in the Qinglong Continent for hundreds of years? ”

The man in black suddenly stopped, and said sharply: "Do you think I want to stay here?" The Qinglong Continent doesn't have a trace of Xuan Qi, and the Xuan Qi in my body can't be transformed at all, and it can't be replenished, so if you use a trace, you will have a trace less!"

"No wonder...... You want to take me as an apprentice, but you actually take a fancy to the Xuan Qi in my body, right?" Tianxiao understood the intention of the man in black after a little thought.

"That's smart...... Oh, I was right when I said that you have good bones and spirituality. Since you guessed it, I'll tell you explicitly. That's right, my purpose is the endless flow of Xuan Qi in that treasure knife in your body. However, I want to accept you as an apprentice is also sincere, if you want, you are my founding disciple and my closed disciple, I will teach my lifelong cultivation to make you the strongest sword demon, how about it?"

"Hahaha, you really dream. How could I be a teacher from a madman like you? That's an insult to me. Tianxiao was reluctant to kill the man in black, and his words became even more unkind.

With a crisp sound, the man in black slapped Tianxiao in the mouth again: "I don't know what to do, see if I make you want to live, you can't die!" He grabbed Tianxiao's wrist tightly, and a powerful mysterious force suddenly poured into Tianxiao's body. Tianxiao suddenly felt as if his internal organs were about to explode, and the meridians and dantian were burning and unbearable, and the taste was extremely uncomfortable.

Despite the pain, Tianxiao was snickering in his heart.
