Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from predicting opportunities

In the lonely and desolate grassland.

A figure was walking among them, but his speed was full of weirdness. At first glance, he was still hundreds of meters away, but his not-so-fast pace suddenly appeared in another place the next moment.

And in place, an afterimage emitting purple light was left.

Xu Guang stood on a small mound and looked around.

The grassland was much bigger than he imagined. He had already walked for a day since he left Yuanshan. At his speed, he had already covered at least three thousand miles without stopping.

But the current location is only half way from the Yin Motian shown on the search engine.

The density of the tribes in the grassland was even rarer than he imagined. Even some weak tribes just lingered in caves. Even because they could not hunt, they could only rely on eating soil for a living. Eating soil in the true sense!

Just when he was passing by, Xu Guang saw someone die from abdominal distension.

He had no interest in this, he was just interested in the barbarian patterns.

This seems to be a new way of practice, but it is somewhat similar to martial arts.

‘Will martial arts emerge from it? ’

Such a strange thought suddenly flashed through Xu Guang's mind, but he immediately shook his head, probably not.

Although he was always on the road, he also figured out the origin of the barbarian patterns, which was also related to Yin Motian.

A kind of creature they called a barbarian beast. The barbarians hunted this creature, and the sacrifices used the blood of these creatures to make a medium medicine called barbaric touch, which had an overbearing effect.

By taking the barbaric touch made from barbaric beasts, and then using the blood of barbarian beasts to brand the body with barbaric lines, one can become a barbaric warrior.

But becoming a barbarian requires a high price. The barbarian touch is extremely domineering. Even if it is a large tribe's sacrifice, the success rate of helping people to imprint barbarian marks is only 30%.

Of course, this also varies from person to person. Some barbarians have strong talents and strong wills, so the success rate of imprinting barbarian patterns is naturally higher.

However, creatures like barbarian beasts are very rare in the grassland. I heard from passing tribes that the closer you are to Yin Motian, the higher the frequency of their appearance.

Although Xu Guang was very interested, unfortunately, he did not find a living creature along the way.

Those who live in the middle of the grassland are the weakest tribes. They do not have the abundant food of the peripheral tribes, and do not have wild beasts to provide them with strength. They have to worry about food and clothing all day long.

The night in the grassland is extremely dangerous. It is shrouded in the world wind and is the favorite hotbed of demons in the mysterious world.

While traveling at night, Xu Guang encountered at least three waves of demons, and the number of them was at least five. As for the stragglers, one or two, there were countless.

Fortunately, with his strength and Heavenly Eye's natural restraint against demonic illusions, it was not difficult for him to deal with it.

Finally at noon the next day, with the help of the dim sunlight, he saw an amazing scene.

It was a dark sky. The sky fell from the sky like a black curtain. The black vortex seemed to be a nightmare that swallowed everything. The clouds and mist in the sky were dizzy and turned into pitch black. They were tumbling around the vortex, like a curtain of death falling from the sky. , bursts of terrifying and cold breath filled the world.

Above the billowing black clouds, the scorching sun that used to emit scorching light seemed to be full of helplessness for this world. His brilliance was no longer bright, but fell in the vortex, turning into a sad blood red, like a wave of blood drifting with the current.

The silence between heaven and earth becomes eternity here, so quiet that people can't help but feel fear.

The whirlpool only rotates once after a long interval, but this time, it is like a whale swallowing the earth, the sky, the air, and even... the sunlight!

Like a huge mouth of the abyss, greedily devouring everything in the world.

Even though Xu Guang had traveled extensively and seen a lot before, at this moment, he still felt terrifying. It was the place where two worlds collided!

And such a place is not the only one in the world, the grassland is in the dark devil's sky, and the sea returns to the ruins!

He finally saw the so-called savage beast. It was a creature that was somewhat like a dinosaur. It was up to three feet tall and covered in thick armor. A completely different aura from the alien species in the world was surging. In the midst of the battle, it seemed to be a completely independent existence, unaffected by Yin Motian at all.

Xu Guang was very interested in this and was about to start hunting. However, he did not expect that a figure arrived first and got ahead of him. He concentrated a powerful punch and landed on the head of the dinosaur beast.

The savage beast instantly fell to the ground as if struck by lightning.

Xu Guang squinted his eyes, and after seeing the person clearly, the solemn look on his face was still there.

With great power, there is no doubt that this is a capable person.

And the person who can easily kill the dinosaur beast is at least a master.

"Your Majesty stole my things and left like this?"

Xu Guang's figure fell to the ground lightly, which shocked Chang Shifan, who was taking the blood from the beast. He suddenly turned around, and seemed to be relieved when he saw Xu Guang, but Xu Guang could clearly see that his face was relaxed. , but the body is extremely tense, like a big bow that can shoot arrows at any time.

In just an instant, Chang Shizhong knew that the person in front of him was invincible. He felt the power of heaven and earth gathering around him all the time. It was a state where the will was almost substantive, and it was a method beyond the reach of a top master.

He let go of his hands and said, "Chang didn't know this was a senior's thing. Please forgive me, senior."

The grassland is accustomed to the weak and the strong. When facing an invincible enemy, he knows how to advance and retreat.

Xu Guang glanced at Chang Shifan in surprise, then pondered for a moment and said, "I think if you want to take the blood of the beast, what will be the effect?"

Chang Shifan was stunned for a moment, he hesitated and said, "Senior, don't you know?"

He thought that Xu Guang, like him, came here to hunt wild beasts, but he didn't expect that Xu Guang seemed to know nothing about it.

"Although we don't have the powerful physique of the barbarians, with high cultivation, we can suppress the backlash of the barbarian beasts. Refining the blood of the barbarian beasts can strengthen our bodies, and may produce the same effect as the barbarian barbarians' patterns, giving birth to similar... The method of bloodline talent.”

Chang Shifan knew everything and pointed at the dinosaur beast on the ground.

"This beast's name is Dragon-like. It is of a high rank among barbaric beasts. Its talent is strength."

Xu Guang glanced at it with interest, and then his body moved, turning into purple lightning, and a hand fell on Chang Shifan's shoulder.

He senses the power of others.

Chang Shifan's body instinctively wanted to resist, but he was instantly overcome by the seventh level of calamity, and his whole body fell into a state of confusion.

Something interesting appears.

Chang Shifan should have refined many savage beasts. His body is indeed very powerful, with three peak cultivation levels, but his physical body has surpassed some masters and even grand masters. However, the aura in his body is so mixed that it gives Xu Guang the feeling of, There are more animals than humans.

Even in the process of Xu Guang subduing him, as he lost his mind, the mixed auras in his body seemed to fall into chaos, and even gave birth to some rebellion-like resistance.

‘Can the savage beast’s painstaking effort forcibly open up its aperture? No, it's not about the acupoints, it's about changing a person's own structure, forcibly transforming a certain part of the body into a structure that can adapt to the power of the beast. ’

Somewhat similar to... the situation where the alienated warrior infects himself with the body of a demon.

However, it will not have a huge alienation effect on the body, but will allow people to basically maintain their human form. As for whether it will have an impact on their nature, Xu Guang doesn't know.

Xu Guang tried to use the Demon Tribulation Jin to stimulate Chang Shifan, but Chang Shifan did not react much. Even the mixed aura in his body went its own way during the Demon Tribulation Jin without being affected at all.

It seems that this method of taking the heart and blood of savage beasts to strengthen the body has been known to some people for a long time.

Xu Guang casually woke up Chang Shifan who had fallen into a coma, turned around and left without waiting for him to continue talking.

Chang Shifan was confused, but thinking of the impact of being suppressed by Xu Guang's huge power, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart. Where did this monster come from?

He finally found the method from ancient books, but he didn't expect that in that person's hands, he couldn't survive a single move.

The Central Plains is really full of talented people.

After Xu Guang got to know the beast, he lost interest in it. Although the beast's method of external acupoints was enough to attract countless martial arts masters, even though he guessed that the subsequent practice of martial arts must be related to the acupoints, he Still not interested.

Unless some kind of savage talent is so powerful that it makes his heart beat.

Traveling quickly, after carefully passing through a huge tribe, he was only a few miles away from Yin Motian.

Everything in front of me has already undergone drastic changes. The grasslands and the earth have long been corrupted and covered with thick black spots like mold.

In the black sky farther away, veins like blood vessels appeared, and waves of screams like painful wails floated in the air.

Xu Guang gasped heavily, held his breath, and then continued forward.

After passing through the whirlpool that was like a life-and-death line, the world changed drastically!

In a trance, gusts of wind howled and approached, and among the howls came bursts of chaotic sounds, as if someone was talking among them, but they could not be heard clearly.

Some blurry images also appeared in the wind, like mirages.

But it disintegrated into smoke in the blink of an eye.

The earth is a scene filled with black dust, as if the end of the world is ahead.

The collapse of heaven and earth only took an instant.

Deeper, roaring sounds continued to be heard.

In the place shrouded in black mist, the heaven and earth did not collapse, but seemed to be devoured before digestion. Collapse and assimilation were the reality inside the whirlpool of the Yin Demon Sky.

Is this...Yin Motian?

This is the place where he is about to undergo the catastrophe of collapse.

Xu Guang felt his own strength, which was flowing rapidly. Walking in the grassland already consumed enough strength, but after entering the whirlpool, this consumption increased by almost dozens of times, and accompanied him every step forward. , are all huge consumption.

After walking several hundred steps, nothingness and darkness swallowed up everything. The black mist was surging like sea water, like ink, pitch black and silent.

‘This is not a place to overcome the tribulation, and one cannot feel the power of...destruction. ’

After Xu Guang hesitated, he continued to move forward.

Silently, in the black sea in the distance, there were pale spots of light flickering, like countless fireflies emerging, sinking and floating quietly.

Instantly, the light spot became brighter and clearer.

Wow.

Finally, it landed on the 'sea floor' and attached to the sky.

Countless light spots suddenly dimmed, as if they suddenly lost their power to shine. The light disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the world once again fell into darkness.

Buzz! !

A vast force rolled across the sea, everything in sight collapsed, and the earth and sky seemed to be wailing and screaming silently.

This is... collapse!

Xu Guang couldn't help but tremble, he knew the effect of those pale light spots.

That is a wonderful thing that contains the power of collapse, an existence that can destroy the world.

At the same time, he also understood that the key to overcoming his calamity lay in those pale spots of light, but the only thing he didn't know now was whether his physical body could withstand the power of collapse, so that he could realize collapse?

There was no need for Xu Guang to get closer. After the pale light point once again destroyed Xuanshi, it appeared again, and the distance to Xu Guang was even closer.

After two days of observation.

Xu Guang finally decided to give it a try.

He stretched out a finger to touch the pale point of light that represented collapse.

puff! !

Countless lines of blood instantly appeared on the palm, like a rag doll about to be broken.

Countless moments were piled on the palm of his hand, isolating the power of destruction, and he quickly put away his palm.

Snap.

A drop of blood fell to the ground along his palm.

‘What the hell is this? My body can only resist for so long! ’

Xu Guang was shocked.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was the power to destroy a great world. If he touched it with his body, of course there would be no good results.

but…

If it is impossible to directly perceive the collapse through these pale light spots, then where should the collapse catastrophe be?

Heaviness arose in his heart.

His doubts were quickly answered.

Search results, of course.

A result he had never expected.

His physical body at this moment was close to the limit of the world, and it was automatically adapting to collapse. Although he could not clearly feel it, he could only choose to believe the results of the searcher.

A book he had read before flashed through Xu Guang's mind, which recorded that the more powerful a creature is, the more quickly it can adapt to environmental changes, grow from environmental changes, and ultimately change the environment.

Therefore, according to the records in the search device, if you want to survive the catastrophe of collapse, you can only rely on the continuous adaptation of your physical body to adapt to and understand collapse.

This will take time, perhaps longer than Xu Guang imagined.

‘The environment we live in now is quite stable. I haven’t been with my family for a long time in the past few years. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity and stay in Source City. ’

Xu Guang quickly made a decision. Since he could not significantly increase the strength of his physical body in this world, he could only rely on time to survive the catastrophe.

Fortunately, in this Yin Demon Heaven, it is easy to draw in the power of the Mysterious World. As long as the seal blood is sufficient, it can be regarded as a very good place for cultivation.

Xu Guang thought to himself, and immediately found an open space and sat cross-legged in silence.

Observe the birth and death of heaven and earth, and understand the changes in the two realms.

…

…

Xu Guang's departure from Yuancheng had no impact on the battle between the demon army and the barbarians.

The Barbarian King was afraid of Xu Guang and did not send out the Four-marked Barbarian King, but the original tribe had thousands of years of heritage and there were too many three-transformation strong men!

In just three days, the demon army killed six three-transformation masters.

Naturally, the demon army was not without cost. Four masters of three transformations were killed. Even Zhou Tong, who had always been invincible, accidentally fell into the trap of the barbarians and was surrounded by seven barbarians with three stripes. Fortunately, Zhao Jun provided timely support. , although Zhou Tong was seriously injured, he was not killed.

Fortunately, after persisting for several days, the barbarians finally stopped competing with the higher-ups in terms of force. Masters of the third level of transformation are pillars anywhere in the world!

Although there are many primitive tribes with three lines of bravery, they cannot withstand such consumption.

More and more low-level barbarians are joining the battlefield.

Of course, the demon army was happy about this. The senior warriors were happy that they did not have to face danger. Many of them were poisoned and forced by Xu Guang. They had practiced hard for many years. Of course, they did not want to die in the Origin Mountain and become unknown people.

The ordinary sergeants in the Dang Demon Army are also very happy. Over the years, the Dang Demon Army has already formulated a strict reward and punishment mechanism.

Soldiers are the most successful in battle. After a hard battle, if you want to succeed, you need to risk your life. Most of the demon army are not afraid of risking their lives.

The battle lasted for more than half a month, and a line of bones was drawn in the Origin Mountain!

Like a line between life and death.

Youzhou is shocked!

When Gongsun Bai received the news, his expression was gloomy and uncertain. His original plan to send some Jingyou troops to support Yuan City was abandoned.

…

As dusk falls.

Beneath the cliffs dozens of miles outside Source City, figures suddenly appeared in the originally empty forest. Their naked bodies were covered with strange barbaric lines.

These people all use a unified barbaric pattern, which comes from a barbaric beast called 'Nimbi'. The ability of this barbarian beast is somewhat similar to that of a chameleon, but it is more powerful. Its colorful skin can emit a wave of energy. A wonderful phantom poison.

There were thirty-six people, headed by a tall barbarian with disheveled hair. After he appeared, he didn't say a word and just gestured to the people behind him.

What is quite amazing is that a group of more than 30 people actually showed strong military qualities and obeyed orders and prohibitions. Their huge bodies represented their huge weight, but they walked silently in the mountains.

Like a snake moving, silently.

Ahead was the main city of Source City, but they had no plans to go to Source City.

The City Lord of Source City is indeed very powerful, and even the Barbarian King is not sure of killing him.

The priest ordered them to go around Yuanyuan City to explore the city behind. If possible, the Barbarian King would not mind changing to another city, as long as it was a prosperous place in the Central Plains.

Yuancheng is a hard nut to chew on.

Of course their thoughts were good, and their actions were indeed deceptive, but they subconsciously ignored the dandelion-like plants floating at the entrance of the mountain path as they walked and quietly flew into the air.

Source City.

Outside the city lord's mansion.

As the news of the coming barbarians spread, the people of Yuancheng were extremely panicked. Under Shangguan Rong's decree, they quickly entered a state of military control. The demon-dampening army, which had been developed for several years, showed its due power at this moment. .

On the roof, Murong Qiong watched all the changes below with great interest.

The foundation of this source city is deeper than she imagined. In order to cultivate such a great power, although both Cheng Lian'er and now Shangguan Rong have good talents in internal affairs, financial and resource requirements. That's the point.

Cheng Lian'er and Shangguan Rong are capable, but it is still difficult to obtain so many resources. The origin of these resources is worth pondering.

However, Xu Guang's current strength and so many resources may make people jealous, but his record is enough to intimidate even a small person.

In the interior hall of the city lord's mansion.

Shangguan Rong looked at the letter in his hand with a sneer on his face.

Yao Hui looked at the disciples who had grown a lot during this period with some relief, and asked softly, "What happened?"

Shangguan Rong did not hide anything and said, "The barbarians plan to bypass my source city. Looking at the direction, they should go straight to Pingcheng."

Xu Qiu, who was sitting next to him, heard this and couldn't help but said, "Who can stop me?"

"Why stop it?"

"Um?"

"Isn't Gongsun Bai not planning to send troops? Then let him watch and watch how the barbarians break through Pingcheng and then drive straight into it!"

Shangguan Rong said with an evil look on his face.

Apparently the news from Jicheng made her very angry.

Although everyone had expected this, Gongsun Bai would definitely be afraid after the demon army showed its strength.

"Then...don't care?" Someone in the hall asked hesitantly.

Xu Qiu reacted, "I understand. Let's take action when Pingcheng is about to be destroyed."

Although Xu Guang has always said that he has no ambitions, as the number of demon-killing troops increases, no one thinks that he is telling the truth.

Of course, if Xu Guang knew about it, he would definitely feel aggrieved. He didn’t know how much money it would cost to raise an army. He just felt that the cost must be very high, so he used a search engine to find some large resources. Expanding the army had always been a matter of process. Lian'er's order.

"That's right, Jicheng is too far away from Pingcheng after all. When the barbarians capture Pingcheng, if we take action again, Pingcheng can be taken down."

Shangguan Rong looked like she had the pearls of wisdom in her hand.

If she hadn't been worried about causing Xu Guang's dissatisfaction, she would have planned to let the demon army carry the defense plans of Pingcheng and Shucheng with them.
