In the new round of battles in the basement, Bai Xiao lost again.

And unlike the previous defeat, this time Bai Xiao couldn't even understand the other party's methods.

In that strange dark red world, Zheng Liming's speed was as fast as a ghost, almost more than twice that of Bai Xiao! It was a speed that even Bai Wuya could not reach, and relying on this speed, Zheng Liming knocked Bai Xiao to the ground like a bamboo, and the latter did not even have a chance to resist.

Bai Xiao, who has always been accustomed to crushing opponents with speed advantages, was crushed by the opponent's speed for the first time!

But this is really unconscionable.

Speed requires skill to control, and when the speed exceeds a certain limit, the lack of skill will lead to a strong backlash in the body, muscle tearing, and bone ...... And Zheng Liming's martial arts level is only similar to Bai Xiao at most, and it is even worse spiritually, which is far from enough to control this kind of speed.

If it's not a simple skill, it's the magic of the Demon Dao, Zheng Liming is good at the Demon Dao of the space-time domain, and he can accelerate and decelerate easily...... But just now, Bai Xiao didn't feel any demonic path fluctuations at all, otherwise he wouldn't have been hit without warning.

So......

"Was that the power of the ancients just now?"

"That's right, this is thaumaturgy, and until the complete collapse of the Elemental Dynasty, thaumaturgy has always occupied an important place in the territory of human civilization. According to the records on the fragments of history, thaumaturgy was a huge power system no less than the Demon Dao in its heyday, capable of achieving all kinds of incredible magical effects, even if the Demon Dao is not as powerful as it is today. It's a pity that I only have fragments of history in my hands, and the thaumaturgy that I have simulated is quite limited, and the only ones that can be skillfully used are the two most basic skills of acceleration and deceleration, and the rest of the thaumaturgy such as re-movement, time stop, and black hole cannot be used, but even the most basic thaumaturgy, you have seen its effect, how do you feel?"

Bai Xiao pondered for a long time and said, "I can't think of a way to crack it." ”

Zheng Liming said: "It's right if you can't think of it, according to the records of ancient historical fragments, the martial arts civilization perished at the hands of thaumaturgy...... When the Flame King established his dynasty, he ruled the world with the power of the elements, and among the opponents at that time, there were a group of masters who were good at martial arts. They were able to face the flames head-on with the strength of their flesh without fear, and the Flame King was once a headache, but as the Flame King's hegemony advanced, the dynasty was helped by thaumaturgists, and finally completely defeated the martial arts civilization, and established the first unified dynasty of human civilization in the Eastern Continent. However, the defeated martial arts masters did not completely perish, and some of them disappeared and never lived again...... Personally, I suspect that the Snow Mountain Tribe is a civilization formed after these down-and-out martial arts masters fled to the top of the snow. And as the inheritor of martial arts, it is normal for you to be inferior in the face of thaumaturgy. ”

After speaking, Zheng Liming beckoned: "Come again." ”

Without much explanation, a new round of encounters will be opened.

Bai Xiao is still a defeat without suspense.

Zheng Liming comprehensively used a variety of ancient powers this time, exquisite martial arts, fierce elemental power, and unstoppable thaumaturgy, in his hands, it was like a game in his hands, and the short battle completely became a fat solo exhibition, and Bai Xiao was completely reduced to a background board.

After lying on the ground for a few seconds, Bai Xiao stood up again, his brows furrowed, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished.

"Come again. ”

Zheng Liming nodded: "Very good, let's come again." ”

——

Until the space in the basement expanded and disappeared, and everything returned to its original state, Bai Xiao failed to win from Zheng Liming.

Of course, considering the difference in strength between the two, it seems that it is normal not to win, especially the ancient power with thaumaturgy as the core is simply overpowering Bai Xiao - acceleration and deceleration itself restrains martial arts, and thaumaturgy is not disturbed by Bai Xiao's demon hunting physique.

But Bai Xiao was still amazed by this series of defeats.

Marvel at the strength of Zheng Liming's actual combat ability, as well as the breadth and profundity of the power of the ancients.

In his opinion, if Zheng Liming didn't have the help of the ancient powers, how could he win once or twice by all kinds of chances in the two hours of continuous fierce battles.

There is indeed a gap in the strength of the two, but it is not so big that it is completely irreparable, Zheng Liming has not yet obtained the apocalypse after all, and Bai Xiao has the strength to compete with the ring-bearer after undergoing a transformation.

However, Zheng Liming's skillful use of the power of the ancients completely sealed Bai Xiao's hope of victory.

Although he claimed that the power of the ancients was not properly obtained and was not so easy to use, there was no doubt that he really used the power of the ancients very well!

It was so good that Bai Xiao was almost completely blinded by his senses, and he couldn't see the flaws in it.

Zheng Liming's ancient power is flawed, first of all, power cannot coexist, martial arts, elements, and thaumaturgy cannot appear at the same time, and the price of using one is to temporarily abandon the other two. It's just that Zheng Liming covered up the rotation gap between the three with amazing skills.

Secondly, there is a limit to the power of the ancients, although Zheng Liming has shown extremely superb application skills, but this power itself is not strong.

In terms of elements, Zheng Liming can call out flames and thunder without relying on magical energy...... But compared to those demonic realm masters, Zheng Liming's thunder fire was really not powerful, and the changes were not complicated enough. Its only advantage was that it did not belong to the Demon Dao system, and Bai Xiao could not offset it with the power of demon hunting, and he could not even deal with it with the limited demonic Dao divine powers he mastered.

In terms of martial arts, Zheng Liming's talent is indeed good, so his martial arts power is relatively strongest, but at most it is only similar to Bai Xiao at this time.

In terms of thaumaturgy, acceleration and deceleration have their own miraculous effects, but among the magic powers in the space-time domain, there are not a few that are stronger than thaumaturgical effects, and the favorite double-speed magic power of the people of the border counties is an excellent example.

So......

"So you should be able to find out the problem, your consecutive defeats are not because of how strong I am, but because you are not strong enough, once you lose your magic resistance, you are actually very vulnerable when facing the magic power of the demon-like Dao. Zheng Liming said in a deep voice, "Of course, this problem is the same for most Demon Daoists, once they find that their defensive magic powers are not effective, many people will fall into a panic...... But you're not like those people, and you deserve better. ”

Bai Xiao nodded, acknowledging that this sentence was correct.

"In fact, you're also perfectly capable of doing better. When the Flame Dynasty was established, the martial arts civilization was indeed a loser, but not all martial artists failed, and the best of them once launched a sharp counterattack, causing the Flame King to suffer heavy losses. Those warriors used the power of pure martial arts to contend with fire and thaumaturgy, and if they were not outnumbered, they even opened up the situation for a while, creating an opportunity to turn the tide. Bai Xiao, what the ancients could do, there is no reason why you can't do it. ”

After speaking, Zheng Liming let out a sigh and walked out of the basement.

Bai Xiao was just about to speak behind him, but Zheng Liming waved his hand behind his back: "No need to send it, digest the harvest just now." ”

Bai Xiao stopped moving, but looking at Zheng Liming's stumbling back, he couldn't help but have a question in his heart.

Zheng Liming...... Is it a lot thinner than when you first started?

——

On the other side, after Zheng Liming left the old rain building, he suddenly sped up his pace, and ran all the way back to his greasy and warm small building in a gesture close to trotting.

At this time, the night was already dark, and there were few pedestrians along the way, so not many people could see Zheng Liming's running posture clearly.

Even if a few people saw it, they didn't realize that the trotting person would be a greasy master who was famous throughout the Western Continent.

Because the figure shrouded in the Demon Dao robe is too slender and slender!

——

When Zheng Liming lay on his back on the floor of his house, he was already thin as a terminally ill patient, and the oil that had accumulated for many years was completely gone, leaving only loose skin and thin bones.

At this time, he was closer to running out of oil than when the battle of Yushan City ran out of oil reserves.

"This ancient power...... If it is not obtained properly, it will be unusually heavy to use. ”

Zheng Liming let out a weak sigh, and then struggled to crawl to the comfortable cushion, sinking his body into it slightly.

Feeling the fragrance of the oil, Zheng Liming finally relieved himself.

Then, he raised his arm...... Looking at his trembling right hand, a mocking expression appeared on Zheng Liming's face again.

“...... You're perfectly capable of doing better, what the ancients could, there's no reason why you can't do it, when will I ever become able to say such high-sounding words? ”
