The battle of Black Magic Ridge finally came to an end.

In this battle, both the righteous and demonic realms suffered heavy casualties, sixty-three masters of the wind and dust list died, fifty-nine masters of the demon list died, and as for the peak masters of the ordinary spirit realm, there were countless of them.

It is said that because of the loss of the black devil's arm, the demon marquis went crazy, and fought with the three-eyed Langjun for three days and three nights, and fought for dozens of miles, fighting until he was almost exhausted.

The entire Black Devil Ridge seemed to be wrapped in the smell of blood.

But what made countless people crazy was that the arm of the Dark Demon God Lord was missing.

No one knows who got it, and there are all kinds of speculations, but as time goes by, this turmoil is gradually dissipating.

......

There is a small lake with a thatched hut.

Shi Xiaole sat here, the breath on his body was long and long, if he could look inward, he would find that wisps of demonic essence were being withdrawn from his muscles and bones, and under the refining of Brahman's internal strength, he was gradually assimilated.

This process lasted for about two hours before Shi Xiaole opened his eyes.

"The internal force has strengthened a lot. ”

Half a month has passed since I left Black Magic Ridge.

During this period of time, in addition to recuperating from his injuries, Shi Xiaole was refining the essence of the Demon Dao, and the progress speed of his internal force was not terrifying, compared to half a month ago, his internal strength had increased by one percent.

His cultivation has also reached the peak of the fivefold Xuanqi, and he is only one step away from the sixfold Xuanqi.

"If I absorb all the demonic essence in my body, maybe my cultivation will be able to transcend the Spirit Pass Realm?"

Feeling the vast energy in his body, Rao is Shi Xiaole had already understood this, and still couldn't help but take a light breath.

Of course, it's not that simple.

As the refining deepened, Shi Xiaole gradually discovered that what he was absorbing now was only the most superficial energy of the Demon Dao Essence. The deep-seated energy is very solid, and often he can absorb a trace of it for two hours.

It's like a gold mine, the outside is full of broken gold, which can be picked up at hand, but inside is a large piece of gold and stone, and if you want to move it, you have to spend ten times and a hundred times the strength.

And if he could move them all, there was no doubt that Shi Xiaole's strength would reach an unprecedentedly powerful and terrifying level! He seriously doubted that there would be no one in Daliangzhou who would be his opponent at that time.

couldn't help but think of the Black Demon God Monarch.

This is just one of the other party's arms, and in the past six hundred years, it is impossible for the essence in the arm to not escape, so you can imagine how powerful the original Black Demon God Monarch was?

It's scary to think about!

There was another thing that was even more frightening.

Shi Xiaole really couldn't understand why he could bear it and absorb such a pure Demon Dao Essence, as far as he knew, even if he was a Demon Dao master, he had to go through a series of complicated procedures.

Could it be that his life experience is related to the Demon Dao?

Father Shi Xuanzhong, where did he come from?

Shaking his head, Shi Xiaole got up and pushed the door and walked to the lake.

Lan Tingtao was sitting on a boulder in the lake in the distance, and the invisible sword qi wrapped around his side, preventing the tide from getting close.

At a certain moment, Lan Tingtao's arm moved.

Boast!

Nine roads and ten zhang high, the water column of the thickness of the water tank rises to the sky, splashing the sky with mist.

"Seniors are good at kung fu. ”

Shi Xiaole praised.

"Fight me. ”

Lan Tingtao said.

"Use secret techniques before going down, and you can't use force for half a year, and please forgive me. ”

Shi Xiaole still had a disguised mask on his face, and his breath was also the sixth level of the Lingguan Realm. This is not the Black Devil Ridge, once you fight, you have to show your stuff.

Lan Tingtao glanced at him deeply and said, "After today, there will be no day for you and I to meet." ”

"Senpai is leaving?"

Shi Xiaole asked.

"Da Liangzhou, there are those who are stronger than me, but the kendo realm is higher than mine, at least not on the surface. After more than forty years of settling, it's time to see the outside world. ”

Lan Tingtao had longing, expectation, and a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

It is one thing for a martial artist to cultivate martial arts and improve his strength, but traveling the world and seeing all kinds of wonders and all kinds of masters, isn't it a more expeditious thing?

As early as the moment when he realized the true meaning, Lan Tingtao's heart was no longer in Daliangzhou.

"I want you to do something for me, and it should be my reward for saving you. ”

Lan Tingtao said suddenly, not hiding it at all.

Shi Xiaole said with a smile: "Senior, please say, as long as you can do it, you must go all out." ”

"The only thing I can't worry about is my daughter Fluttershy, and I've entrusted Lady Brair to take care of her, but I still want you to promise that if Fluttershy is in danger in the future, you will save her, no matter the mountains and fires!"

"Xie Xiaofeng never owes anyone anything, seniors rest assured!"

Without swearing, Shi Xiaole said solemnly.

The figure flashed, Lan Tingtao fled into the distance, and disappeared without a trace after a while, coming suddenly and leaving freely.

This is a real charlatan.

"Maybe we'll come back later. ”

Shi Xiaole retracted his gaze for a long time and said secretly.

Without Lan Tingtao, Shi Xiaole no longer had any scruples, in addition to refining the essence of the Demon Dao every day, he practiced all kinds of swordsmanship.

The battle of Black Devil Ridge made his fifteen deadly swords advance, but it also exposed several shortcomings.

First, his swordsmanship focuses too much on offense and lacks defensive moves, and once he encounters an invincible and strong enemy, he can easily fall into a desperate situation.

Second, his body skills are too poor.

After all, the Toridu Technique is only a second-rate low-grade light skill, not to mention those masters on the wind and dust list, even many genius disciples from top sects practice second-rate middle-grade light skills, and once they fight, they will suffer a loss congenitally.

As for the second-rate top-grade light skills, no one cultivates them, this kind of martial arts, the value is almost about to catch up with the first-class low-grade martial arts, and Daliangzhou has not yet.

The days passed.

A month later, Shi Xiaole's injuries were completely healed, and his cultivation had successfully broken through to the Sixfold Initial Realm of Xuan Qi.

Because of swallowing Xiao Zhuguo under the ghost castle, Shi Xiaole's body is much stronger than ordinary people, and under the Spirit Pass Realm, there is no need to worry about breaking through too quickly to bring about the problem of unstable foundation.

However, this breakthrough, the progress of strength is not as exaggerated as in the past, mainly because the internal strength has been completed, and the quality of internal force has reached the limit, and the quantity can only be increased.

In addition to cultivation, Shi Xiaole is also studying swordsmanship and body techniques for his weaknesses. Eventually, he temporarily focused on the Heavenly Treasure Sword Marquis's Retention Sword Technique.

Second-rate mid-grade light work, it's not that you can draw it if you want to, and if you create it yourself, you don't have too many references, and it's too difficult.

Unlike swordsmanship, there are nearly 100 kinds, and there are also retained swordsmanship as a comparison.

In the past, Shi Xiaole felt that this kind of swordsmanship was too soft, but now that he looked at it again, he suddenly found that keeping people on the first line is also a line for himself?

This kind of swordsmanship may not be murderous, but it is definitely more than enough.

In his later years, the Tianbao Sword Marquis seemed to have understood the sword path of another unusual swordsman, but unfortunately, he did not have time to develop it.

The swordsmanship of Liusheng must be combined with the Yuansheng Heart Sutra to exert its power. Of course, it was impossible for Shi Xiaole to cultivate the Yuansheng Heart Sutra, so he could only extract the essence of the Liusheng Sword Technique and create his own defensive sword moves.

Fortunately, in the past few months, he had also drawn Jin Shiyi's Great Zhou Tian Sword Technique, which also happened to be a defensive sword move, which provided him with a lot of references.

By the quiet small lake, Shi Xiaole stirred up countless water droplets with a sword, and then danced the sword against the water droplets, and the white sword light formed a round ball, enveloping him.

"Twenty-six drops of water. ”

Putting away his sword and standing, Shi Xiaole looked at his clothes and shook his head. A total of twenty-six tiny droplets of water fell on him through the sword light.

According to his thoughts, after this defensive sword move is successful, he should be able to press down with a huge wave of ten feet, and not splash water.

Improve again and again, drill again and again.

Shi Xiaole was completely forgetful.

Half a month later.

Twenty-six drops of water dropped sharply to thirteen.

A month later.

Thirteen drops became six.

By two months, six drops became two, and then, one drop.

But this drop seems to have become Shi Xiaole's bottleneck, and two full months have passed, Shi Xiaole's cultivation has reached the sevenfold realm of Xuanqi, and he still can't cross it.

This drop may seem insignificant to outsiders, but a defect is a defect, Shi Xiaole wants absolute perfection and does not allow any link to go wrong.

It was another afternoon, and Shi Xiaole sat on the grass a little tiredly. There were water stains all around, and on the placket of his clothes, a small drop of water was scattered.

"What's the difference?"

Shi Xiaole was puzzled.

He sat quietly for half an hour, and just as he was about to get up, a breeze blew, and he didn't feel anything in the past, but at this moment, he was blessed to the heart, and his whole body seemed to be passed through by electricity.

"I'm so stupid, isn't it impermeable where the wind blows?"

"Although I was immersed in the artistic conception of the wind before, I paid too much attention to speed, and the wind did not want speed, but strength. ”

Drawing the sword out of the sheath, Shi Xiaole's sword swung thousands of droplets, this time he didn't deliberately dance the sword around, just stabbed forward, and the wind-like sword qi formed a sharp cone, and then suddenly enlarged.

The droplets of water smashed on it, making a crackling sound, and finally all bounced back into the lake, causing countless ripples.

Shake it gently, and the clothes will not be stained with wet marks.

After several months, the defensive sword move finally came to fruition.

"This trick will make you wind without a trace. ”

Wind passing, refers to the characteristics of sword moves, and traceless, refers to the effect of sword moves.

This move has no trace, incorporating the essence of the Liusheng Sword Technique, the Great Zhou Tian Sword Technique and other defensive moves, as well as the artistic conception of the Liucheng Wind, which may not be as powerful as the complete Liusheng Sword Technique, but it is definitely better than most second-rate mid-grade sword moves.

Shi Xiaole estimated that even if the three masters of the Spirit Pass Realm attacked with all their might, they would not want to crack this move. Coupled with the sevenfold cultivation of Xuanqi, in other words, Shi Xiaole at this moment, except for the light martial arts, no matter how defensive or offensive, he is by no means inferior to the triple master of the Lingguan Realm!

Half a year passed in a hurry.

Shi Xiaole's cultivation surged again, reaching an astonishing eightfold level of Xuan Qi.

It must be known that even in Daliangzhou, which is full of talents, it is extremely terrifying to break through to the eightfold of Xuan Qi at the age of nineteen.

At this rate, Shi Xiaole has a high chance of breaking through to the Spirit Pass Realm before the age of twenty-two, and it is rumored that it will be shocking.

Prior to that, the record in Daliang Prefecture was twenty-seven years old.

And even if it is placed in the Shuntian Mansion, which rules hundreds of large states, the achievement of breaking through to the Spirit Pass Realm at the age of twenty-two is extremely amazing.

It's not that easy, though.

Because the further back he went, the less fast he wanted to improve, Shi Xiaole obviously felt that the huge amount of demonic Dao essence left in his body was unimaginably strong, and it often took half a day to extract a trace.

Perhaps, only by waiting for cultivation to reach the spiritual realm, or if the level of internal force is raised again, can the efficiency of extraction and refining be accelerated.
