44. Confused

The butcher took three steps forward, the blade of the knife was revealed, cutting in from the front face of the bull demon, and the tip of the knife slashed through the palatal bone, tough neck, front shoulder, left rib, long bone, hind foot, and finally pulled out from the side of the cow's leg.

"Poof"

Blood gushes like a spring, and the bull demon howls.

Half of the tall and stocky bull demon had turned into pieces of flesh and bones, falling off its body and stacking it on the ground.

As strong as a demon beast, it can't be resisted in front of a seasoned butcher.

The thought faded from my mind.

Li Miao opened his eyes, the light of the spells and magic weapons was still fixed in the air, and the butcher was drinking casually beside him.

"Do you know what to do?" asked the butcher.

Li Miao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, pulled out his chopsticks from Sun Lie's broken throat bone, injected a ray of original energy, and swooped back towards the ball of light that attacked.

In an instant, the frozen scene was all back to normal

"Kill him"

More than a dozen monks did not notice anything unusual, and continued to besiege and kill with the momentum just now.

Li Miao reversed the trajectory of the magic weapon and spell, and the chopsticks turned into a short and sharp butcher knife in his hand, passing through the mana, splitting and shattering it.

It's just that he is a beginner after all, not an experienced "butcher", this action is inferior to the butcher in the illusion of knowing the sea, I don't know how much, only to divide and dissolve the two spells, the chopsticks have been eroded by half of the mana, turned into a slender bamboo stick.

"Boom Boom"

It's slow, but it's just a moment.

After Li Miao dissolved the two most threatening spells, the remaining dozen or so rays of light bombarded his original position.

The wine table was smashed and smashed, and the cabin was littered with broken wood. The concussive effect of the spell, as well as the two quick-reacting spells, slammed into his back.

Hit by these attacks, Li Miaoden was injured, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of backblood, stumbled two steps, and almost fell.

Before he could regain his strength, the monks said, "Good job, do it again, kill him in one fell swoop"

Saying that, the magic weapon that led back to the body was released, and a second wave of attacks was launched.

Li Miao's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously took out the Zijun Sword

With the current distance between him and the others, as long as he could move and the spirit sword swept, it was entirely possible to kill all of these people in an instant when everyone launched a second wave of attacks

Although he will also suffer another wave of damage because of this, he is confident that he has the original energy to protect his body, and he will not be able to hurt the root.

However, at this time, there was another "knock", and the butcher put down the wine bowl in his hand again.

The movements of more than a dozen monks froze again, the magic weapon froze on the trajectory of flying back, and the spell was in the making, neither advancing nor retreating, motionless.

space, imprisoned for the second time.

Stopping the movements of others, the butcher said, "Chopsticks are chopsticks after all, and they are not as exquisite as magic tools." The butcher knife that can kill demons itself must be harder than the fascia skin and flesh of monsters, otherwise it can't even cut the skin, and naturally it can't be peeled and boneless. ”

Having said that, he didn't mean to return the cold steel battle knife to Li Miao, but held it with one hand, and condensed a translucent butcher knife out of thin air with mana.

Then, with a flick of his finger, the butcher knife flew out of his palm, and with a "boom" he cut through the air and burrowed into the crowd.

The butcher knife flew up and down at an incredible speed. With Li Miao's eyesight, he could only barely see a distorted afterimage flying past the necks, shoulder bones, pelvis, knees and other positions of more than a dozen monks.

His heart beat a little faster.

The butcher's hand, is it?

"Huh"

The translucent butcher knife with condensed mana flew back into the butcher's hand, disappearing into invisibility with the movement of his two fingers.

Because the space was confined to the ground, the dozen or so monks who had been cut by the butcher's knife did not fall to the ground as fragments, only tiny red marks on their skin and torn clothes were revealed, proving that they had been divided into pieces.

In Li Miao's frightened look, the butcher said, "In the eyes of the butcher, the world and hundreds of millions of living beings are only divided into three categories. One is those who don't want to kill, and the other is those who want to kill. There is another category, which cannot be killed. ”

"If you don't want to kill, don't show your butcher's knife and make people hold grudges. If you want to kill, kill it cleanly, and don't give the enemy a chance to fight back. ”

Li Miao frowned.

He felt that the butcher was not right

The world is colorful.

Among the billions of living beings, in addition to those who want to be killed and those who are not to be killed, there are many lives in between

For example, people who do not have a good relationship. They may hate each other, but because of their different concepts of life, they don't actually have a deep hatred for each other.

Such a person does not need to be killed. Just show them your "butcher knife" and let them know how powerful they are.

Judging all living beings in the world by only three labels: killable, non-killable, and unkillable, is obviously too one-sided

Although Li Miao admired the strength of the butcher, his heart was transparent, and he was not completely immersed in the other party's artistic conception, and was led by the nose. The truth in my heart is still clear.

The butcher poured a bowl of wine and continued, "Next, I will pass on your third type of soul slaughtering thoughts. ”

Soul slaughter.

Sounds even more powerful than the first two.

The butcher stretched out his finger and pointed at Li Miao's eyebrows again.

However, this time, Li Miao interrupted, "Senior and slow"

"Well, how" The butcher was slightly suspicious, and the hat lifted a point.

Li Miao took a deep breath.

He realized a problem.

The two knife techniques taught to him by the butcher are both skillful things, and they are very clever skills.

He knew very well that what he saw in the illusion was only the tip of the iceberg of knife skills. If you really do it with all your strength in battle, "breaking your neck and letting blood" is a powerful means to kill the enemy in an instant.

And "skinning and boneless" is a trick that can not only break up the enemy's offensive, but also strike backward and put the enemy to death.

But

These two sword moves actually don't mean much to him at all.

His fighting skills are not bad in the first place, and even if he learns these two moves, it is just the icing on the cake.

The butcher kills pigs and demons, which is no different from the one he used to kill enemies on the battlefield, it is a one-sided slaughter.

The blow that caught the weak point and killed the Yellow Dragon was somewhat useful, but it was only in terms of mastering the weakness.

To put it bluntly, the two tricks taught by the butcher had a very limited effect on his strength.

What Li Miao urgently needs now is not combat skills, but magic secret skills.

His original energy is more condensed and substantiated than most of his true qi mana, and if he doesn't cast the Star River Holy Body, he won't run out even if he fights all day.

In the same situation, if you are a Purple Mansion monk of the same realm, it would be good to be able to last for an hour.

Li Miaokong has a strong original energy, but there is no corresponding magic secret technique to cast it, just like a strong bow without matching arrows, it is really a waste.

So when he found out that the knife technique taught by the butcher was pure skill, he had another idea.

Li Miao said, "I'm sorry, senior. Your knife skills are indeed powerful, but this may not be what I need right now"

"Oh, then what do you need," the butcher asked, frowning.

Li Miao thought for a moment and said, "You can use one point of strength to play a very effective secret method and martial art." ”

"You're too greedy. ”

The butcher shook his head and said, "There are so many monks in the world, everyone can study the Fa, and all of them have killing moves. But there are very few people who can leapfrog the challenge. ”

"I will pass on your sword skills, which will allow you to defeat very strong opponents from weak points with one point of strength. ”

"And you are not satisfied, and you want to use one point of strength to become ten points stronger, and defeat the same opponent head-on. ”

"You say, are you too greedy?"

Li Miao smiled bitterly, knowing that the butcher was a little displeased, and hurriedly explained, "Senior. As the saying goes, make the best use of things, make the best use of people. My strength is already very strong compared to the monks of the same realm, and what I am lacking now is a powerful sword technique that releases the power in my body, not "

Unexpectedly, this explanation made the butcher even more displeased.

He raised his head and said with a slight annoyance, "You junior, I am kind enough to teach you knife techniques, and you are still bargaining with me"

When he looked up, Li Miao suddenly saw half of his face under the cover of his hat.

It was a hideous face

The butcher's face was covered with deep scars, as if cut by a sharp object, criss-crossed, from the forehead to the cheeks, and no place was smooth and sound

Even the two eye sockets were torn open by several cracks, and the edges of the eyelids were curled, and they could not be fully closed when blinking.

Li Miao was shocked, he didn't expect that the butcher dressed as a hero would have such a terrible appearance.

No wonder he kept the edge of the hat down and refused to look up.

It turned out to be because of his hideous appearance.

It's just that with the means of immortal cultivators, after cultivating to a certain realm, the beauty and ugliness of the appearance should already change at will, how can the butcher be like this

Xu guessed what Li Miao was thinking, the butcher was seen by someone, so he simply didn't hide it, took off the hat and put it on the table, and said lightly, "What, I'm afraid of me"

"No, just surprised. Li Miao replied. He had seen all kinds of strange alien creatures in the big universe, and there were many uglier ones. With his temperament, he naturally will not have a bad impression of the butcher because of a problem with his appearance.

The butcher saw that his expression returned to normal, and he did not dislike his appearance, and his tone softened a little. said, "Then you count, I have a few scars on my face." ”

Li Miao looked at it fixedly.

The scars on the butcher's face range from long to short, from the hairline directly through the center of the eyebrows and the tip of the nose to the chin. The short ones are also more than two inches, extending from the ear temples to the corners of the eyes.

After counting carefully, Li Miao said, "It's seventeen scars." ”

"Yes, it's seventeen. ”

The butcher touched the dense scars on his face and said, "Maybe in another hundred years, there will be a new one, and it will become eighteen scars." Maybe in a hundred years, there will be no more me as a butcher in the world. ”

"Why did this senior say this," Li Miao was puzzled.

The butcher said lightly, "I shouldn't exist in the world, and it is only a matter of time before I die." has lived for so many years and made countless friends, even if he is gone, he will not lose. ”

After that, he sighed lightly and said, "It's just a pity that no one can inherit the way of my butcher's knife." ”

Li Miao was confused.

Death should not exist in the world

Could it be that the butcher is a man who should have died a long time ago

But what does it mean to have an extra scar after a hundred years?

He was puzzled, but the butcher didn't explain it to him, but said, "I thought you had the power to open the heavens, and you were a good seedling who could inherit my mantle." But it seems that the avenue in your heart is not the same as mine, and it is not my destined person. The tone was slightly disappointed.

Li Miao felt a little guilty in his heart, but at this time, if he changed his mind and said that he wanted to learn, it would be as if he was sympathizing with the butcher, which would only make people more unhappy.

So he put the topic aside and asked, "Senior, the power of opening the heavens you are talking about refers to the true qi in my body."

The butcher nodded, "Not bad." Your mana is extremely similar to the power of the Ancient Heaven Cultivators. Although I haven't seen the Open Heaven God and Demon, I still have this ability to judge. ”

"What are the gods and demons of the Open Heavens?" asked Li Miao again.

The butcher said, "That was the first batch of innate beings born when the heavens and the earth first opened countless years ago. They proclaimed themselves gods, born with great power and a long life, and were the rulers of the world at that time. However, their growth qualifications were not very good, and many years later, immortals appeared, and in their place, the Open Heaven God Clan became history. ”

Hearing this, Li Miao's heart shook a lot.

It turned out that the "Open Heaven Gods and Demons" were those ancient gods buried under the Taixu Divine Tomb that a foolish Taoist had mentioned to him before.

And his original ability is actually very similar to the Protoss

You must know that the reincarnation lotus flower method practiced by Guo'er is also from the divine clan exercises of the Taixu Divine Tomb, so doesn't it mean that Guo'er will also practice the original energy in the future

Thinking of this, Li Miao couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

But when he thought about it again, it didn't seem that simple.

As far as he knew, Origin Cultivation was a never-ending process. Any living being, regardless of its innate strength, as long as it has opened its spiritual intelligence, it is possible to become a strong person through the Primal Channeling Technique, and even become the supreme and powerful master of the universe.

In the mouth of the butcher, the qualifications of the gods and demons of the Open Heaven were very poor, and they did not have much potential for growth, and they were even defeated and destroyed by the immortal clan that was born later, becoming the dust of history.

It can be seen from this that the Open Heaven Gods and Demons are either different from the Origin Warriors themselves, or they don't know how to cultivate the Origin Ability, so they can only rely on natural growth to slowly become stronger.

And judging from the reincarnation of the lotus flower method, they should know how to practice

Therefore, there should still be a difference between the Primal Warrior and the Open Heaven God and Demon

The butcher drank again.

It was difficult to discern the change in expression on his hideous face, only a dull tone that showed that he was in a bad mood.

"Since you and I don't have a chance, then this third knife technique, don't teach it. ”

As he spoke, he shook it with one hand, and the power of the void burst out, and the space that was imprisoned became distorted.

A void vortex appeared in the cabin, and the bodies of the dozen or so Condensing Cultivators were all sucked into it, disappearing into the air one by one.

There was no blood, no screams, and more than a dozen large living people, along with their magic weapons, spells, and even the true qi escaping from their bodies, were all swallowed up by the void vortex, as if they had never existed.
