The khaki light mask is very thick and solid. At first glance, it looks like a turtle shell buckled on the ground.
Bang bang bang...
The fists and feet of the five golden puppets kept bombarding the earth-yellow light shield, but they could only blast it into waves, but could not blast it away.
Even if you hit the mask hard with a punch, causing a dent in the mask, as soon as the fist leaves the mask, the dent will immediately return to its original state.
Extremely strong defense, unbreakable!
Xing Nan frowned, and then ordered the dozen or so sword soldiers to stab at him quickly. Unfortunately, although those sword soldiers were all sharp and blessed by the power of heaven and earth, they could not penetrate the earth-yellow mask.
In the earth-yellow light shield, the purple-shirted monk with tattered clothes and messy long hair looked at Xing Nan with a resentful look. He did not try to escape again, but stayed in place very honestly.
Xing Nan could guess that although the defensive power of this earth-yellow light mask was amazing, it was not the magical power emitted by the purple-shirted monk, but was formed with the help of external forces. The purple-shirted monk should not be able to control the movement of the light mask, so it was only used by the light mask.
Under the protection of the government, patiently waiting and recovering.
What the purple-robed monk is waiting for are naturally the other bandits from the Ten Thousand Scorpions Cave. As long as they arrive, the situation will be reversed immediately.
Xing Nan's face was a little hesitant. After pondering for a moment, he smiled at the purple-robed monk in the mask and said, "Since you are pretending to be a coward, I won't play with you anymore."
Then, Xing Nan stopped the Samsara Sword Formation, put away all the Heavenly Sword Spirits and more than ten sword soldiers, and then quickly retreated with the five golden puppets.
The only king-level master on the other side was trapped. Although there were many bandits remaining in Ten Thousand Scorpions Cave, they could not stop Xing Nan.
With Xiaomeng's guidance, Xing Nan would not get lost in the maze. He quickly rushed out of the maze and reached the river again.
After rushing out of the water, he calmly looked around and saw that there was no strong enemy, so he put the five golden puppets back into his storage belt.
Still looking toward the east, Xing Nan, with the help of Liufeng Dapengyi, turned into a cyan rainbow and disappeared in an instant.
…
Under a hill on the eastern border of Piaoyun Kingdom, there is a large market town called "Dongping Town".
Dongping Town is built on the mountain, with a length of more than ten miles. There are countless houses and nearly 10,000 residents. If it were not surrounded by tall walls on all sides, it would be simply a small town.
After crossing the hill after Dongping Town, we walked out of Piaoyun Kingdom and reached the territory of the powerful Holy Dragon Empire.
Since the Piaoyun Kingdom is attached to the Holy Dragon Empire and is a vassal state of the Holy Dragon Empire, there is no clear boundary between the two countries. Although Dongping Town is within the territory of Piaoyun, many townspeople say that they are part of the Holy Dragon Empire.
people.
Now that the Piaoyun Kingdom has been destroyed by the devil, the people of Dongping Town have not fled with their families because it is too close to the Holy Dragon Empire. In their view, the devil's army cannot reach this remote place, and the powerful Holy Dragon Empire will not give them any help.
A chance for the demonic army to attack.
Xing Nan now lives temporarily in the back hill of Dongping Town, which is still very peaceful in these troubled times, because there are no strong people in this town and there is no threat to him.
Among the nearly ten thousand people in Dongping Town, very few people are practicing. Even among the dozens of security guards responsible for the security of the town, the strongest ones are only fifth-grade martial arts masters.
The mountain behind Dongping Town is not very high, only less than 500 feet. Xing Nan dug a cave in it, which is quite quiet.
The reason why he doesn't live in the market town is because he doesn't want to disturb the peace of the townspeople. After all, he has an innate demonic body, and it is inevitable that the demonic energy will leak out during cultivation.
Yes, Xing Nan needs to practice hard for a period of time, because his skill has reached the peak of the later stage of the Sword Devouring Art, but his soul realm is not very high. With his current realm, if there is another breakthrough in his skill, he
Without the spiritual consciousness, he will not be able to fully control his skills, which is an extremely dangerous thing for monks.
A higher soul realm will help Xing Nan control his power and demonic nature, as well as his control over the Samsara Sword Formation and the five golden puppets. It will also speed up his ability to master some skills such as "Puppet Refining" and "Puppet Refining".
The study and practice of techniques such as "Flowing Wind Step" and "Nine-section Heaven Opening Palm".
To improve the soul realm, one must naturally rely on the transformation of the demon.
After sitting cross-legged and meditating for a day in the cave, he became calm and gradually entered a better state. He completely sank his consciousness into the sea of consciousness, and his soul transformed into his image.
The technique of transformation was activated, and the robbery demon was also activated in human form, and began to carry out various attacks on Xing Nan's soul body.
While dealing with the calamity demon, Xing Nan's soul body was continuously improved...
Since Xing Nan's demonic nature was completely released, the robbery demon has become more and more powerful. The robbery demon is a demon, and with the nourishment of the demonic nature, its strength has surpassed Xing Nan's soul body, making it more difficult to deal with than before.
In the past, the robbery demon only represented Xing Nan's negative soul power, but now the robbery demon represents the completely demonized state of Xing Nan.
What makes Xing Nan even more depressed is that although the technique of transformation can control the form of the robbery demon, it is difficult to control the growth rate of the robbery demon.
This should have been expected by the shadowy old man in the nine-ring reincarnation bracelet, but he did not explain it to Xing Nan.
Constantly testing one's own soul with demons to make progress in the realm of the soul. This is a kind of practice that consumes the mind and tortures the monk's mind. Occasionally when he gets tired, Xing Nan will stop to rest, consisting of two late-level fourth-order monsters.
The meat sauce and bone meal made from the flesh, blood, sinews and bones of Xing Nan were constantly taken by Xing Nan, and supplemented by the practice of martial arts to improve his physical quality.
As for Xiaomeng, Xing Nan naturally protected him while he was practicing. He would sleep when he had nothing to do, and when he woke up, he would eat some of the flesh of monsters.
The days passed day by day.
Flowing Wind Step, Nine-section Heaven Opening Palm, Samsara Sword Formation, the Technique of Transformation... Xing Nan became more and more skilled in using it.
His soul realm is also constantly improving, but he feels that if he wants to make the Samsara Sword Formation stronger and become more familiar with the control of the golden puppet, it seems difficult to make much progress.
Controlling the Samsara Sword Formation and the Golden Puppet requires Xing Nan to be distracted and multi-purpose at the same time. When he gives orders to those sword soldiers and puppets, he can only issue one order at a moment, and all the sword soldiers or golden puppets will follow this order.
To act, naturally, the swordsmen and puppets will lose a lot of changes, and their power will not be fully revealed.
"If I could, at that moment, give different orders to each sword soldier or each golden puppet based on the situation at that time, so that they could take different actions that are most suitable for their respective situations at the same moment, no matter what
Is it the Samsara Sword Formation or the Golden Man Puppet that can exert its greatest power?"
"But how can we do this?"
"It's not difficult to control them while distracted, but it's not easy to issue different orders to them in an instant. Moreover, I have to be able to be fully aware of their situation at all times and issue several orders in an instant.
Even a dozen or dozens of reasonable orders... This is really too difficult."
"However, even if it's difficult, you still have to try and practice. Maybe practice makes perfect!"
Therefore, Xing Nan added another method of cultivation to himself, but unfortunately he could only explore it on his own.
This sudden practice was not the focus of his practice. Most of his energy was still focused on improving the realm of his soul.
…
In the blink of an eye, a month and a half has passed in Dongping Town. The cold winter is gone and spring is coming.
Dongping Town and Houshan are both green and colorful, with flowers blooming everywhere.
Today, Xing Nan came to the market town as usual, eating and drinking delicious food in a tavern and listening to the words of the guests.
The reason why he did not stay away from the market town was actually to have a delicious meal from time to time, and of course to get some news. He did not want to become an isolated person. Coming from the earth in the technological age, he knew very well
, information is important.
When he was in the treasure land, he could only satisfy his hunger with the flesh, blood, muscles and bones of monsters. Now he is practicing hard in the mountains. From time to time, he can go to the market town for a delicious meal, which is indeed an excellent choice.
If it is not necessary, Xing Nan will not deliberately let himself live a hard life.
"My nephew just came back from outside. He told me that the three kingdoms of Kurosawa, Youyan, and Capricorn were also occupied by the demonic army."
"How is it possible? Didn't it mean that our Holy Dragon Empire has sent a large army to support us?"
"Our Holy Dragon Empire's demon-suppressing army was defeated, and even the demon-suppressing mountain fell into the hands of the demonic army!"
"Even if the demon-suppressing army is defeated, the empire still has many powerful legions and many masters like gods. They will definitely drive out the demon army in the future!"
"That's not necessarily the case. The demonic army came with great force this time. Not only did they take down Piaoyun, Youyan, Capricorn, and Kurosawa in one go, they even defeated the powerful demon-suppressing army. It's really hard for the empire to push them back again.
extremely difficult."
"It has nothing to do with us anyway. Our Dongping Town is located in a remote location and there is no fertile land. The demonic army will not come to kill us."
"I heard from the mayor that there have been many strangers coming to our Dongping Town recently, and most of them are skilled masters."
"What are those experts doing in our Dongping Town?"
"The mayor estimates that they are here to take refuge, so those masters rarely show up... The mayor also told us not to provoke those strangers, as they will not stay here for too long."
Even without using his spiritual consciousness, Xing Nan's ears were still able to clearly hear the words of the guests in the tavern.
After eating and drinking and paying the bill, Xing Nan walked out of the tavern and walked out of the town.
Along the way, Xing Nan did find a lot of monks, but the cultivation of these monks was not very high. Most of them were at the master level or the spiritual level. As for the strong men at the Zong level or the King level, he didn't see any of them.
With.
Zong-level and king-level monks can be regarded as accomplished practitioners in the Jianwu Continent. They are not very afraid of the demonic army. As long as they are not unlucky enough to encounter a large group of demonic cultivators, there is no need to run around like a bereaved dog.
"The other three kingdoms have also fallen, and even the demon-suppressing army has been defeated. No wonder the boss lady is so sure that the Piaoyun Kingdom is hopeless. I wonder if the demonic army will march straight into the Holy Dragon Empire..." while walking towards the town.
