Chapter 172 Sharpening the Sword

The cloudy wind blows out from among the rocks and vegetation, and it is not directional. The branches and leaves of the big trees next to it tremble, and they seem to feel the chill.Yu Ci's feeling is very clear, the wind is not blowing from any direction of southeast, northwest, but from the surface of the earth, and it is so cold that it affects the body.

The pure yang talisman sword in Yu Ci's hand shone with light, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply, but it still couldn't block the wind.However, just a thin line away, his mind was touched, and there seemed to be a "clang" in his brain. The way to destroy evil with sword intent!

The dark jungle seemed to light up a bit, accompanied by the sword intent to kill, and the sword energy spread out, and the freshly drawn grass leaves and twigs on the trees were swept away, and the evil spirit rising from the ground followed. Dissipated without a trace.

Yu Ci didn't have any delay, at the same time as the sword intent was pressing, he moved his feet, and he went seven zhang away in an instant.The body moved, and the ground he had just stood on rattled repeatedly, and several sharp claws broke through the ground. Even in the darkness, the nails on the top were still glowing green. The feet must be torn off.

At the same time as the shift, Yu Ci had already held the corner of the heart in his mouth.

He sensed that there was an evil thing ambush here through the fish and dragon, but he didn't expect that this thing would start by attacking the spirit. Even though he has learned the method of sword intent to destroy evil, it would be a waste to replace defense with attack, so he still uses the horn of pulling heart It is more economical to protect the soul.

In a flash, he tapped his toes again, and this time he jumped onto the tree.As soon as he dodged away, there was another "clank" sound, the sharp fingers and claws followed him like a shadow, and the speed was not much worse than Yu Ci's.Before he could be surprised, a group of black shadows broke through the ground.

As soon as the black shadow appeared, it rushed straight up, three points faster than it was underground.Yu Ci didn't dodge any more, the flame blade protruded from the tip of the talisman sword, and collided with the black shadow with a chirping sound.A scorching smell floated up, and Yu Ci flew obliquely.

The black shadow also slid down the ground along the tree trunk. During this process, the previously closed eyes opened, and three lights seemed to light up in the jungle, locking onto Yu Ci's figure who was flying back a few meters away.As soon as it touched the surface, its body began to sink, and it was the habit of black shadows to attack from the ground.

But at this moment, the opponent's sudden counterattack was reflected in the three eyes that were split in the shape of a square.The opponent clearly hadn't finished the castration, and there was nothing behind him to take advantage of, but the speed of the counterattack was three points faster than the retreat.The speed at which it sinks is not unreasonable, but in comparison, it is still too late!

There was a soft "hiss" sound in the atmosphere, and the blade of the flaming sword in Yu Ci's hand suddenly blurred, and even his body became blurred.He was almost close to the surface and turned back, and the distance of several feet was instantly erased!

The black shadow roared violently, and the sound shook the mountains and forests. It lifted its forelegs that were half sunk in the soil, and slapped at the enemy who was already close at hand. A line earlier than this, it was a column of gray air that was sprayed out from its mouth. However, as soon as it exited, the sword light swept past, evaporating it.

Then there was a muffled sound, and the black shadow was brought up by Yu Ci's forward momentum, and a large piece of earth and rock was blown away, and in the dust and smoke of the avalanche, it slammed into the big tree behind him, and was firmly nailed to it.

Its sharp claws that can break gold and iron seem to have hit the target, but it seems that it didn't, but the flame sword actually tore its chest, piercing it with the wooden sword body more than a foot behind, and it was absolutely powerful. The sword qi burst out in the body, blasting its internal organs, and the killing qi, which was more piercing than the sword qi, penetrated the brain one step earlier, crushing the soul and killing its last bit of consciousness.

The black shadow began to twitch instinctively. Its vitality was very tenacious, but this was just a physical instinct. Now that its soul was extinct and its internal organs were broken, it would never be able to revive.

Yu Ci stood in front of the black shadow's corpse and let out a breath.His jacket was torn into several long slits. The sharp fingers and claws grazed the surface of his limbs, causing burning pain. The most recent wound grazed his ribs from under the left shoulder. It was not deep, but if his figure was out of shape After a while, the finger claws were about to 'pierce' into his heart.

But this point is his chance of victory.

The power of the pre-blessed amulet made him jump through the air and step on the void in a short period of time, and forcibly bounced back. While beating the time difference, he also instantly raised the sword intent of the Mirage in the middle of the mountain to the limit. With a chance of victory, Sombra's life was ended.

Compared to the past, Yu Ci's reaction is still extraordinary, he can use his sword intent, and instantly increase the explosive power to kill to the limit, which he couldn't do before no matter what.

This is what he has achieved in the past two months. It is the big gain he found from the "small skills" of sword intent to destroy evil, and it is also a breakthrough in the use of sword intent.

There is actually a clear context for using sword intent.From a basic point of view, one must first understand how the vitality circulates, how to unblock the qi, how to form the sword qi, and how to control the effect.

If the sword skills are thorough, one must then figure out, with such sword skills, what kind of mind and spirit will one have when the sword is thrown across the sky, so that the sword contains spirit, circulates and has vitality, which is the sword momentum.

Sword skills and sword potential are already clear, and they must be connected with the swordsman's mind, so that the two are more in line with the swordsman's "nature" and aspirations. A heroic person has a heroic sword, and a feminine person has a feminine sword. Such an adjustment and fit, when the sword is swung, the heart, momentum, and skill are integrated into one, without any hindrance, this is the achievement of the sword intent.

This is a very systematic process, which can only gradually take shape after a long period of gestation, but Yu Ci is different.

Because of various reasons such as talent, temperament, and chance, he digested the imprint of the sword intent bestowed by Ye Bin early on, and he already possessed a mature and complete sword intent like "Mirage in the middle of the mountain", and there was no hindrance in using it , This is already very remarkable, but one thing that cannot be ignored is that even though Banshan Mirage's meticulous sword skills and sword posture are very compatible with Yu Ci, there is still a difference between Yu Ci and Ye Bin's sexuality and will.Especially in the previous ten years of wandering life, Yu Ci has formed his own set of swordsmanship in life and death fights, that is, eyes, hands, heart, and courage are harmonious, grabbing the first chance, and distinguishing life and death.The vicious and fierce nature may be more than that, but after all, it is not Ye Bin's calm and strong demeanor.

Only this one difference made Banshan Mirage Sword Intent and Yu Ci have a longer process of getting in.Following this path of development, Yu Ci will probably be influenced by the strong sword intent, gradually change the style of using the sword, even change his temperament, move closer to Ye Bin, and get a half-fifth of the true biography of Banshan Island.

But two months ago, Yu Ci got the Lichen sect's sword intent method to destroy evil from Xie Yan.This little trick is not surprising, but it touches on the fundamental problem of using sword intent.Inspired by this, Yu Ci suddenly understood his way of using the sword, and knew how he wanted to use the sword!Even though he still doesn't quite understand issues like sword intent and mind 'nature', this does not prevent him from reshaping his own unique style of using the sword on the basis of using the sword intent of Banshan Mirage.

This is a very subtle change, so subtle that Yu Ci himself didn't have an accurate understanding, but he wanted to do it, and he really did it!This time, his future became unpredictable, maybe it will be good, maybe it will be bad, but no matter what, this is indeed a path that only belongs to him.

Now, Yu Ci has roughly straightened out the context of the sword intent, and has begun to transition to the adjustment of the sword intent, and has achieved initial results.

Killing that powerful black shadow with one sword, Yu Ci didn't pull out the pure Yang talisman sword immediately, but used a small talisman to ignite a ball of fire, illuminating the space with a radius of several feet.

He saw the whole picture of the black figure crucified on the tree trunk, and then his expression became dignified.

In fact, he didn't see the head and face of the black shadow, because half of this guy's face was beaten to a bloody mess by a huge force, and even the whole black and blue head was distorted and deformed. Yu Ci could only confirm from the breath, this is the head Beast-like monsters.

Not only the face, but also the left half of the monster's body, there is a huge wound, the skin and flesh are rolled up, from the back of the shoulder to the heel of the hind leg, and the ribs are faintly exposed.

These two injuries were definitely not caused by Yu Ci, in other words, what he killed was a monster that had been seriously injured earlier.Thinking about the situation at that time, it should be that this seriously injured demon wanted to kill and devour him to replenish nutrients by surprise, but was slaughtered by him with a sword.

Yu Ci recalled the lightning-like confrontation just now.This guy can move underground with impressive speed, and can also spit out evil things like evil spirits to attack people's souls, and this is still under serious injuries. I really don't know what it will look like in its heyday.

And what kind of strength would the guy who hurt it to this extent be?

With the light of the fire, Yu Ci carefully observed the wounds on the monster's body, and Yu Ci had a general impression.Only then did he pull out the Pure Yang Talisman Sword, and the demon's slightly stiff body slid to the ground.After thinking for a while, he forced out the flaming sword again, inserted the sword into the crack of the skull on the half of the monster's damaged head, stirred it a little, and within a short while, took out an irregular lump.

In the past two months, Yu Ci has learned a lot of knowledge and techniques from Zhao Xiqiao to deal with monsters and beasts. He knows that some monsters, especially those with "non-hand-to-hand combat" methods, such as the guy in front of him who can breathe evil spirits, Occasionally, there will be some more precious "crystals" condensed in the body, which are called "blood treasures" and are very valuable.

Yu Ci had no interest in the Blood Treasure itself, and took it out to let experts like Zhu Lao and Zhao Xiqiao judge some information from it.

After putting away the blood treasure, Yu Ci got up.I don't know when the wind blew up in the forest, amidst the whistling wind, it seemed that the violent roar of the demon before death was still echoing in the jungle, and then, Yu Ci really heard the roar.

His eyelids twitched, and at that moment he suddenly felt, why does this roar sound familiar?

The feeling is just gone in a flash, and it is a bit ethereal if you want to capture it again.Listen carefully, the source of the roar is very far away, I don't know how many mountains are separated, it has been refracted many times, and it is still moving.Yu Ci listened intently for a while, but was a little confused.

At this time, the role of fish and dragon appeared, and with a thought in Yu Ci's mind, the little guy flew into the air and flew towards that side.It's just a few hills, and at the high speed of Yulong, it can be reached in a few tens of breaths.

The ichthyosaur's sensing range is fully open, flying all the way, and the reflected jungle afterimage flows by like a lantern.In this regard, Yu Ci has gotten used to it in the past two months, and can still distinguish a lot of information from it.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, his thoughts changed, and the little guy flew back backwards.

The ichthyosaur sensor spread out, and soon Yu Ci "saw" that in a certain area that the little guy passed by just now, someone was sitting upright with their eyes closed, regulating their breath, and it seemed that they were healing their wounds.

"is her?"
