For the thirty-six styles of [Ghost Knife] knife technique, Qi An doesn't look at it, the [Ghost Knife] knife technique doesn't look at the most complex moves, and the actual subtlety is not as good as [Heavenly Knife] and [Overlord Knife], its core essence lies in the [Ghost Shadow Phantom Body].

In addition to the knife technique, the [Ghost Shadow Phantom Body] on the north wall has new supplementary content, which is what Qi An is most interested in.

As he concentrated on it, Qi An's eyes became more and more focused, his expression became more and more shocked, and finally he couldn't help it and issued a heartfelt admiration.

The [Ghost Shadow Phantom Body] of "Ghost Knife Scroll" has the same problem as "Dancing with Demons", that is, when facing the great cultivator of the Refining God Realm, it seems a little useless, because under the detection of divine sense, the truth of the phantom body is very easy to distinguish, and it is difficult to confuse, but the [Ghost Shadow Phantom Body] of "Ghost Knife Scroll" makes up for this defect, and it is even more powerful than before.

The [Ghost Shadow Phantom Body] in the upper volume is the use of footwork to move quickly and generate an illusory afterimage, the duration is very short, and it has disappeared in an instant, to put it bluntly, it is a blind method that uses poor vision to confuse, once the opponent reaches the realm of refining gods, with the help of the primordial gods, there is nothing to hide.

These great cultivators often do not rely on their eyes to observe, but scan with their divine senses, which is the phantom and which is the real body, which is very easy to distinguish, will not be mistaken, and it is difficult to play a confusing role. This is because the real body has a god, while the phantom body has no god, and there is a clear difference in breath, which is easy to be perceived by the opponent's divine sense.

But the [Ghost Shadow Phantom Body] in the middle volume solves this problem, and the afterimage is no longer an illusory and invisible eye-blocking technique, but is directly formed by the true qi released from the outside, and then attached to its own divine soul breath, not to mention the longer duration, and even a series of action changes can be made, even if it is a divine sense to probe, it is even more impossible to distinguish by eye.

It's just that, just like the "Shura Demon Hell", it is necessary to reach the realm of refining gods, have divine sense, and make the phantom body formed by true qi contaminated with the breath of the divine soul, so that the [Ghost Shadow Phantom Body] can produce this kind of leaping qualitative change.

For Qi An, the enhanced version of the [Ghost Shadow Phantom Body] can also only be watched, not practiced, because his realm is not enough and he does not have the help of divine sense.

Qi An could only sigh, put away his regrets, and went to the east stone wall to watch "Heavenly Sword Scroll".

[Heavenly Sword] and [Heavenly Sword] were originally supposed to be one, let's call it [Heavenly Sword Technique], just like the front and back of a coin, but if the talent is not enough to demonize, it is not beautiful to cultivate both, it is better to focus on one of them, and maybe you can achieve higher achievements.

Objectively speaking, [Heavenly Knife] and [Overlord Knife] are orthodox knife techniques, winning with knife moves, being upright, and crushing head-on, while [Magic Knife] is a realm mastery, and [Ghost Knife] is an incarnation of a peerless sword, the latter two are swords that go sideways and find another way.

In actual combat, Qi An has always been on the spot, easy to come, if you understand the [Heavenly Knife] and [Ba Knife] these two knife techniques, you can absorb the essence of it, into your own boxing method, and there will be a few more means in actual combat.

For example, the [Heavenly Knife] is good at guarding, and the knife is dense, and it can be integrated into the horizontal fist style, the sealing fist style, the collapse fist style, and the chaotic fist style.

And [Badao] is good at attacking, indomitable, and can be integrated into the splitting fist, cannon fist, drill fist, and double fist style.

For Qi An, the four sword techniques of the Sword King's Mansion were all beneficial to him, so he was extremely attentive to his understanding, and he completely forgot the passage of time.

In the stone hall, I don't know the sun rises and the moon sets, only the lights are bright, except for Liu Yongchang, who sits like an old monk, the rest of the people are immersed in the stone wall and have no time to pay attention to other existences.

Half a month passed, and Liu Yongchang, who had been sitting silently for fifteen days, suddenly opened his eyes, and the sound was like a flood of bells, resounding throughout the entire hall.

"The hour has come, don't hesitate to go out of the palace with the old man. ”

After saying that, Liu Yongchang slowly got up, opened the sealing enchantment at the entrance of the ground hole with the eyebrow mark as usual, and took the lead in jumping down and returning to the first floor of the stone hall.

After stepping out of the Sword Absolute Palace, Liu Yongchang asked everyone to return the same way, don't make trouble, but he was like a ghost, disappearing out of thin air, and no one could see how he left.

The group obeyed his instructions, stood in formation according to the appearance of the came, lined up in two columns, followed the path in their memory, and finally came to the gate of the Black Rock Castle.

When they got outside, everyone was in a much better mood, most of them were smiling, and they all seemed to have experience.

Although most of the content of the middle volume of the Four Great Sword Techniques involves the application of the Yuan Shen, and you must go to the Refining God Realm to cultivate, if you understand it in advance and know the general direction, it will still be quite helpful for your future cultivation path.

In the meantime, everyone dispersed and returned to their own residence in the tower, and Qi An was still alone.

When he was in the preparatory camp, although he was the leader of the Demon Sword, he had no friendship with anyone other than Murong Qing; after the selection, he was the only new member of the Sky Splitting Guard, and he was a mid-level guard, and there was a sense of alienation between him and the lower-level guards, and it was normal for him to go alone.

Back at the Sky Splitting Tower, Qi An entered his room, closed the stone door, sat cross-legged on the jade futon, and continued to comprehend the four sword techniques with his memory.

Unconsciously, after more than ten days, Qi An finally understood all the contents of the middle volume of the four sword tricks thoroughly, but before he could officially start cultivating, he had to wait until he derived his divine consciousness and reached the realm of refining gods.

There are three major cultivation places in the inner city of the Sword King, and both the Divine Sword Guard and the children of the Liu family can use it.

The first is the battlefield of fighting, where you can personally participate in gambling battles to improve your actual combat experience; the second is the Heart Stone, which sharpens the soul and makes it strong while resisting the illusionary realm; and the third is the Earth's Center Cultivation Room, which has underground spiritual veins, which is a holy place for refining qi.

Qi An had been to the battlefield once, and he fought with Cao Hua, so he had an impression, and he was also very interested in the latter two, so he was ready to experience them one by one.

However, when he walked out of the Sky Splitting Tower and walked around the Black Stone Castle, Qi An suddenly remembered Lao Hei.

Now that nearly a month has passed, this terrifying dog demon doesn't know what happened, so it is better to take a look, and go to the outer city to breathe and take a walk.

So Qi An turned around and strode towards the entrance and exit of the inner city, with the shining silver armor on his body, the divine sword guard guarding the gate of the inner city wall did not bother at all, and easily came to the outer city.

Qi Anxin moved, and the silver armor on his body automatically decomposed and peeled off, and was put into a storage bag by him, wearing only light shirts and casual clothes, so as not to attract attention.

It's just that after crossing the moat, Qi An was a little dazed, and he didn't know where to find the black dog demon, so he could only wander around along the street.

When he first entered the reserve camp, Murong Qing had led Qi An on a general tour of Sword King City, but due to time constraints, there were still many streets that he had not visited, not to mention those beautiful corners.

This time, Qi An walked along the roads he had never been to, strolling leisurely, while keeping an eye on the observation, wanting to see if there was anything new, and by the way, looking for the black dog demon.

But the total population of the entire Sword King City is more than 100,000, and the scale is even larger than a county seat, and it is impossible to meet Lao Hei on the street just like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Soon after, Qi An came to a strange place, a dilapidated square, with many large rusty iron cages, all of which contained people, in various numbers, like prisoners.

Next to each cage stood a fierce-looking man, wearing a special black short coat and a small word "demon" embroidered on his chest, who seemed to be a member of a certain force.

Armed with a leather whip in one hand and an iron rod in the other, these people struck the cage fence with the iron rod from time to time, making a "clang" sound to attract the attention of passers-by and shouting a few words at the same time.

Only then did Qi An know that these people were slave traders, and the men and women who were locked in cages were their "goods".

It seems that this is a market dedicated to buying and selling slaves, and these fierce men in black are almost exactly the same in their attire, all from the same force, judging from the word "demon" on their chests, it should be the notorious Black Demon Cult.

The name of the Black Demon Sect, Qi An first heard it from Murong Qing, this sect is extremely favored, and mysterious, no one knows who the leader is, and the location of the main altar is also a matter of opinion, it is an evil force hidden underground, although it is not among the "one emperor, eight mansions, seven chambers of commerce, five families and ten sects on the third floor", but it is not too much different.

The Black Demon Cult arose hundreds of years ago, although it is in the name of religion, but it does not engage in spiritual beliefs, in fact, it has been playing the role of a businessman, neither participating in the hegemony, nor causing trouble, only specializing in the slave business, and its reputation is passable, the reason why it is said to be "evil" is that its "source" is not right, I am afraid that it is suspected of forcing the good to be slaves, and the Black Demon Cult's methods of dealing with slaves can be called brutal, and they are despised by righteous people, so they will become evil demons.

Although Qi An had heard of the Dark Demon Sect for a long time, it was the first time he had seen it, and in curiosity, he slowed down his pace and looked around at the slave square.

There are at least seventy or eighty large iron cages more than half a foot high, occupying half of the space in the square, and there are onlookers in front of some cages, I don't know whether they are buyers or passers-by watching the excitement, most of them are pointing at the cages and talking about something, while some are talking to the black devils next to the cages, as if they are inquiring and negotiating.

The slaves in the cages are all combined, at least hundreds, but the distribution is very uneven, some cages have fewer people, only one or two, while some cages have a lot of people, more than ten or twenty crammed together, both men and women, young and strong.

The Great Qian Dynasty did not prohibit the slave trade, and it was open in many cities, and the Black Demon Cult was the leading overlord in this industry. But in fact, it is not only the Dark Cult, but also many other forces that profit from the slave trade and engage in this dehumanizing business.
