Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from predicting opportunities

Xu Guang stood on the edge of the swamp again, with nostalgia in his eyes and a turn around sound in his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the swamp was stirred up, and a huge and terrifying monster rolled over the swamp, with its head like a broken board emerging.

The predator seemed extremely excited to see Xu Guang again.

Xu Guang laughed loudly, opened the wound without any care, and dozens of drops of blood dripped out.

He found that the aura on the giant crocodile was a bit stronger, and its size seemed to have grown a bit longer after landing.

I have grown up.

Now his cultivation relies on the life essence of Ji Xiaolu. Although the essence and blood are not much, the consumption is also less. Most of them are used to cultivate alien species and beasts.

Especially You Xi, who needs to eat a lot every day. He feels that some incredible changes have taken place in You Xi. It is estimated that You Xi will break through after feeding for a while.

After dismissing the predator, Xu Guang glanced at the depths of the swamp with some fear, wondering if the temple there had changed.

But he was not in the mood to cause trouble, so he turned around and left.

With a map, it was not difficult to find the crater. About ten miles away, Xu Guang saw the not-so-high volcano.

There is no doubt that this is an extinct volcano. Through the map, Xu Guang found the entrance.

The entrance to the cave is very narrow, but standing at the entrance, you can feel waves of heat coming out, as if central air conditioning is installed inside.

He took out the short blade from his waist, revealed the open eye, and Xu Guang entered it carefully.

Although Song Tao's news is that there is no crisis inside, Xu Guang is used to being cautious, especially the more uninhabited the barren mountain is, the more dangerous it is.

Walking along the way, as Song Tao said, there was no danger. After walking for nearly a hundred steps, the entrance of the cave became narrower and narrower. I had to lower my body and crawl through it. After passing this hurdle, it became wider again.

This is a cave as wide as a hall. The cave is blazingly hot, with a strong smell of sulfur rising. The heat almost instantly made Xu Guang take half a step back. He used his inner strength to resist the heat.

Only then did he look at the scenery in the cave. Half of it was the ground, and the other half was red magma. The magma spread to an infinite distance underground. Visible heat waves rolled up from above, distorting the cave. In just a moment, it It makes breathing a little uncomfortable.

Oxygen is too scarce in the cave.

Xu Guang had already reached Zang training and his lungs had already been strengthened, so he could endure it. He took out various precious medicines for refining the Mingshen Pill from the package behind him.

The two most important ones are the blood of the Zang-training alien species and the Crescent Heart.

Crescent Heart is an ancient herbal medicine, but it is as hard as stone. It will break when hit by brute force. It can only be melted by being wrapped in the blood of a different species and placed in extremely high temperatures.

Xu Guang looked for a place suitable for alchemy, found a high platform in the cave, took out the prepared cold iron furnace that could resist magma, put various medicines into it, and started to make alchemy. This was his first time making alchemy.

However, the Mingshen Pill is not a difficult pill to refine. The difficulty lies in the preparation work before refining. There are various manipulation methods in the pill recipe, so everything is not that difficult.

About half an hour later, Xu Guang felt the Crescent Heart slowly melting through his strength, gradually merging with the blood of You Xi. Then he quickly took out the cold iron furnace and put several other medicinal materials into it, and then expressed his expression Focus on the final refining.

About a quarter of an hour later, the liquid in the cold iron furnace turned into a viscous shape and took on the color of the moon.

Xu Guang's face showed joy, and he used his strength to control the viscous liquid into a pill.

This is the most critical step, and it tests one's control over the strength. If you are not careful, the pill will explode.

After exploding three bombs in a row, Xu Guang finally got the hang of it and completed the refining one after another.

In the end, four pills were made in one furnace, but so many materials were not wasted.

Xu Guang breathed heavily. This alchemy was really a torturous job, and it was too taxing on his mind.

Just as he was about to check out the surrounding scenery to relieve his fatigue, a change suddenly appeared in his eyes.

In the cave!

There are traces left by someone!

On a platform deep in the cave, he actually saw traces left by someone. There was an altar-like thing placed on it. On the altar, hung a green-faced, fanged, hateful ghost sculpture with eight arms and a body. It was filled with strange bloody scales and held different weapons in its eight arms.

Under the sculpture is the heart of an unknown creature, beating spontaneously, as if... still alive!

This strange and absurd altar that looks like a cult gives people an extremely sinister feeling.

Xu Guang's face turned ugly.

A strange altar, a beating heart, a short blade appeared in Xu Guang's hand, and his eyes were filled with solemnity.

There are many strange people and strange things in the barren mountains. Could it be that this volcanic cave is a place where a strong man lives in seclusion?

With this thought in mind, he had no time to think more and was about to leave.

But suddenly, he discovered that there seemed to be some changes in his beating heart.

This heart is not the red color as generally imagined. There is a wisp of black energy at the bottom. This black energy seems to be thicker than before?

Could it be that the man offered the heart to make it black?

Xu Guang made a guess in his mind and didn't want to cause trouble, so he turned around and cleaned up the traces he left.

Then he cautiously walked out.

Along the way, I was walking in fear for fear of encountering someone.

After half an hour, Xu Guang finally walked out. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked carefully along the mountain road.

Out of caution, he used the power of his painted skin to transform himself into an honest hunter, holding a tattered ax in his hand.

Qingyang Mountain is inaccessible, and I didn’t encounter much as I walked quickly.

only…

When he was about to walk out of the mountain, there was a gurgling stream. Xu Guang turned around and took a look, and then his whole body froze.

At some point, a figure wearing a light blue long coat and a bamboo hat stood over there.

Young man, are you going into the mountains to hunt?

The voice of the man in the bamboo hat was old and full of twilight.

Xu Guang turned his head, touched his head, and asked with an honest face, Are you talking to me?

His heart was beating very fast.

Because he couldn't see the information about the man in the hat!

This person is above all in practicing viscera!

Of course. Is there anyone else here besides you and me?

Of course, there are too many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes outside, so no one in Qingyang Mountain collects taxes.

As if encountering random conversation in the mountains, Xu Guang turned around and left.

The man in the bamboo hat looked at Xu Guang and said nothing.

But at the next moment, light flashed in his eyes, no, this person is not a hunter!

The next moment, a sonic boom suddenly sounded.

The man in the bamboo hat rushed towards Xu Guang with a ghostly figure, his body mingled with a red light.

Sure enough, there is something weird! How dare you run away!

His speed was so fast that he was like a ghost fox in the forest. His red power twisted like a python, causing trees to fall and dust to rise wherever he passed.

Xu Guang looked ugly. Seeing that the man in the hat was about to catch up, he turned around suddenly.

Why are you chasing me!

The man in the bamboo hat was slightly startled, yes, why was he chasing Xu Guang?

Then he sneered in his heart, he was better than Xu Guang, and he was interested in him, so he wanted to pursue him!

Seeing that the hat man was not fooled, Xu Guang finally became angry.

With a long roar, he continued to run forward, causing countless birds in the sky to startle.

The man in the bamboo hat chased after him, Xu Guang turned around, black spots appeared on his hands, and his muscles swelled as he rolled around. He turned around and punched the man in the bamboo hat.

The crimson power shuttled and twisted along Xu Guang's arm like a top, and then suddenly exploded.

Xu Guang screamed in pain and ran back.

There was a bit of surprise on the face of the man in the hat, You are actually an alien. Judging from your fighting power, your alien blood seems to be very good! You must have a very good heart!

boom!

A circle of fog dispersed.

Xu Guang stood up with his arms folded, with fear in his eyes. Seeing the man in the hat attacking again, he blocked with one arm, but was hit in the chest by the man in the hat's palm stained with red power.

The whole person rolled backwards.

The man in the bamboo hat had an unruly expression on his face and stood in front of Xu Guang with a loose body. You are just practicing your dirty work. If you can block my slap, you are worthy of pride.

Xu Guang was lying on the ground, covered with mud, looking extremely embarrassed. A few meters behind him was the swamp.

Why, I have no enmity or grudge against you.

It's just interest, just like a child crushing an ant from time to time. The man in the hat seemed to find this condescending feeling very satisfying, and was unexpectedly willing to share his feelings with Xu Guang.

Xu Guang squinted his eyes and suddenly smiled.

That's it?

The man in the hat plays with the taste, That's all.

Suddenly the hair on his body stood up, as if he was about to be put into the mouth of some vicious creature.

When he turned around, he saw a bloody mouth biting him fiercely.

What an evil beast!

The man in the hat was furious, and red power surged, shaking the surrounding air, and waves of air billowing from the air.

The giant crocodile let out a roar, and the scales on its head exploded inch by inch.

It was also at this time that Xu Guang stood up suddenly, with energy swirling around his body. A golden halo spread from his body, and his skin turned into a strange black color. His upper and lower fascia rolled, and powerful power spurted out.

Then let me see how strong a warrior who has condensed his seal blood is!

After breaking through the three zangs, his combat power reached the hero level. In the past few fights, he found that the old man in front of him was not Ganxuan at all. At least, he did not have the almost unlimited suppressive power against Lianzang as Duan Jue said!

A long knife appeared in his hand, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and before the man in the hat had time to dodge, he punched out.

There were several black rays between the palms.

boom!

The man in the hat rolled backwards, looking at Xu Guang's changes, his eyes were about to burst!

You! So insidious, you've been pretending to be injured!

Xu Guang said nothing, and the whistling long knife moved the air, making a harsh sound, like the roar of countless wild beasts.

The man in the bamboo hat gathered the power in his hands, and the red power turned into a long dragon, standing in a stalemate with the long sword in the air.

Xu Guang's golden power attached to the long knife twisted, changed, exploded, and then disappeared, and the red power penetrated into the long knife without hesitation.

This precious sword made of hundreds of refined steel actually shattered!

The man in the bamboo hat looked pale, and wanted to retreat in his heart. He had not yet fully realized the mystery, and he still had to take the last step, but now...

Xu Guang rushed towards him again, triggering the predators to attack at the same time.

The man in the bamboo hat turned into a snake with all his strength and pointed at Xu Guang as if it were a real thing.

Bang bang bang!

Xu Guang took a few steps back and released the huge force.

Then he waved his palm up again without hesitation.

The eyebrows were cracked, bloody eyes appeared ferociously, and at the same time a slight scolding came from his mouth.

Divine power plus soul summoning, a standard control combo.

The hat on the man's head was blown to pieces by the strong wind, revealing an extremely twisted face, with eyes one big and one small, strange horns on his head, and protruding lips, making him look like a demon.

ah!

While he was stunned, he was bitten by a predator and dragged into the swamp.

Xu Guang took a step forward, and the power of the three internal organs that had been hidden turned into three different colors and emerged in the palm of his hand, blasting out fiercely!

boom!

puff.

Blood surged from the demonic old man's mouth, and he shouted, Don't kill me! Spare your life, little friend!

Xu Guang remained silent, and moved quickly with his feet. With an incredibly fast fist, he shattered the old man's limbs. At the same time, the force poured into the old man's body, destroying his internal functions, but he did not kill him.

This was the first time he killed someone and left him alive, just because he was too curious about Ganxuan.

After confirming that it was no longer safe, Xu Guangcai finally said, Are you Ganxuan?

After the old man was crippled, he seemed to be stupid, with empty eyes, You! You deserve to die! I'm going to kill you! You have to die a good death!

Xu Guang got a little annoyed as he kept shouting these two sentences, slapping them with his palms and touching the corpse to refine blood, which was so skillful that it made people feel heartbroken.

This blood refining was different from the previous blood refining. Only half a drop of blood was extracted. The color was black. Looking inside, you can see that the blood is covered with various complicated lines. This is - blood seal!

Instead of starting research here, he looked at other trophies.

The old man has a lot of things on his body, and he actually has a secret. Generally speaking, unless he is a desperado who lives all over the world, no one will take the secret to heart.

In addition, there is a diary.

Xu Guang looked strange, but couldn't wait to start watching.

Let’s look at the diary first. The old man didn’t mention his name in his diary, so he temporarily called him unknown brother.

The nameless brother is a disciple of the Sheep Demon Sect in the Twelve Earthly Branches Sect. Because he is too old, he has been unable to break through and succeed in Zang training. He abandoned his whole family and spent huge sums of money to buy the poison of Ganxuan - Hua Wuming. !

He poisoned and killed the elders of the outer sect of the Sheep Demon Sect, took away the statue of the demon god that could connect to the Xuanshi and a corpse of the Xuanshi Sheep Demon, and hid here to practice Ganxuan.

Just because the youngest member of the family died tragically and suffered from mental retardation, he went a little crazy and wrote a diary every day when he was awake.

Xu Guang looked at the days and sighed in his heart, no wonder, this Wuming brother is really not a serious person.

Then he looked at the technique from the Sheep Demon Sect.

What disappoints him is that this weird technique called the Sheep Demon Sutra is not a real Xuan Kung, but like the Eight Desolations Invincible Sutra, it contains many things about Xuan Xuan, and it is extremely detailed.

This skill is a way of alienating and sensing the mysterious world. By refining the demonic organs in the mysterious world, it forcibly connects with the mysterious world. The price is to become neither human nor ghost.

Xu Guang couldn't help but think of the Eight Desolations Invincible Sutra. It seemed that that technique was probably created by some alienated person named Ganxuan. It was really full of tricks and tricks, teaching people to commit suicide, and he didn't know what the purpose was.

At the same time, he also knew that the old man's state was not actually Ganxuan. It could be described as half-step Ganxuan at most.

There are three basic requirements for Gan Xuan, Xuan Gong, Martial Intent, and Blood Seal.

Martial intention merges with the seal blood, and under the guidance of Xuan Gong, it condenses Xuan seeds, thereby sensing the Xuan world, receiving the supernatural powers of the Xuan world, transforming the body, and feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Demonic skills cannot guide him to achieve the Mysterious Seed, so he needs the heart in the cave to use the sheep demon's heart to grow a strange Mysterious Seed.

This person has transformed most of the seal blood, possesses the Sheep Demon Sutra that can replace Xuan Gong, and has also understood the step-like martial arts. He only needs to convert all the remaining blood essence into seal blood, and he will be a complete sense of Xuan, and can perform the third step. An introduction to transformation.

Xu Guang couldn't help but sigh secretly, in other words, he was still practicing dirty?

But he was able to force himself to use almost all his means, almost forcing out his blood eyes, summoning souls, and painting skin. It was really terrifying.

It seems that the Heavenly Eye is now unable to observe those who have Seal Blood on their bodies.

While looking at the secret manual, he compared the old man's physical condition and carefully studied the person's physical changes, and finally concluded that the alienated martial arts was garbage.

This is a tricky way, using a part of the body of a strange demon from the mysterious world to replace a part of one's own body, using a little bit to bring out the face, so that one can break through the mysterious world.

But this is not without its drawbacks. The strange demon is immortal. In addition to being destroyed by the power of the powerful Ganxuan practitioner, the alienation of himself by the strong Zang practitioner will only become the host body of the strange demon. If the person is not mentally strong, he will He went crazy and became half human and half ghost.

The goat demon in front of him had his mind contaminated by strange demons and became a little crazy.

Of course, the real alienated martial arts wouldn't be so bad, it's just that the nameless old man in front of me is just rubbish.

Worried that Ganxuan had any special tricks, he searched carefully again and threw the body into the swamp, letting the predator attract several crocodiles to cut the body into pieces on the spot.

After watching the old man's body being swallowed by the crocodile, Xu Guang relaxed and took out the old man's belongings.

But just when Xu Guang was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a homing pigeon!

In the wild mountains and forests, who would use carrier pigeons to send messages?

He immediately thought of the unknown brother, and immediately commanded Xin Xiao to kill the carrier pigeon in the sky, took out the envelope and looked at it carefully.

This is indeed a letter written to Brother Wuming. The letter inquires about Brother Wuming's breakthrough and wants to ask him to assassinate someone. However, the target of the assassination is not specified, only the time and place.

Xu Guang put away the envelope and walked down the mountain.

As for the heart in the crypt, Xu Guang didn't care. According to the records in the Sheep Demon Kung Fu, no one absorbs that thing, and it will naturally wither and die soon. As for the Sheep Demon Statue, the Sheep Demon Sect has no control over it. If you feel it, you might get into trouble if you take it, and Xu Guang doesn't want to touch that kind of weird thing.

On the way, Xu Guang thought about who the target could be assassinated by Sensuan Realm masters. For some reason, he always felt that the person Brother Wuming assassinated should be someone from Feiyun City, but he didn't know who it was.

On his way back, he passed by the water pool again. After hesitation, Xu Guang decided to jump in and take a look for himself. The water pool was very deep and simply diving into it was very laborious, especially since the water pressure here was a bit ridiculously high. Thousands of meters away, Xu Guang still couldn't see the bottom. The water here was already completely red.

It's like molten iron turned from iron sand.

After Xu Guang thought about it, he immediately went upstream. His current strength seemed not enough to explore the bottom of the pool.

Carrying the iron sand on his back and studying the iron ore carefully, Xu Guang asked Xin Xiao to continue collecting iron sand.

He planned to ask his master to melt the iron sand into a big gun after he returned.

…

…

City Shoufu.

Duan Jue pinched the letter in his hand, with a little chill in his eyes.

Sir, who do you think they are going to assassinate?

Xu Guang asked in a low voice from the side.

Duan Jue looked at Xu Guang silently, and suddenly smiled and said, You don't have to worry about this matter. By the way, you should be speechless, right?

Xu Guang was silent.

Duan Jue smiled slightly, When I met Zong Kang, I was about the same age as you. Later I gave him the nickname Ningde...

Xu Guang seemed to understand something, clasping his hands in his fists, Please give me the words.

Haha, what do you think of Yi Xuan? You value friendship, have loyalty, and are reserved but not external. The word Yi Xuan is just right.

Duan Jue looked at Xu Guang with a smile, his eyes filled with warmth as he looked at his younger generation.

Thank you, sir.

After a pause, Xu Guang experienced a change in his mentality for the first time, Does your Excellency have any arrangements for me to do?

Go ahead and practice hard when you get back, don't run around.

Xu Guang was silent. He could see that Duan Jue's love for him came from the bottom of his heart. He had never felt this kind of emotion since Xu's father passed away.

For him, he has not known Duan Jue for a long time, but the relationship between them is like a father and a teacher.

Duan Jue taught him many principles, some of which he agreed with, and some of which he found absurd. Is universal unity something that can be achieved in this world?

The final general is actually...

Okay, your so-called strength is vulnerable to a strong person above Gan Xuan. Go back and practice.

The first order was really bad.

The author didn't ask about follow-up reading before, but today I found out that Qian's follow-up reading is available. As a result, there are only more than 400 first orders so far, and the conversion rate is a bit Muggle...
