As the head fell to the ground, the headless body also fell to the ground.
Xia Nan waved her hand and put his body and head into the system space.
Xia Hu stared at Huo Wu with tiger eyes. He knew that the little fire sparrow was not Huo Wu's true form, but he never thought it would be so huge.
Huo Wu's huge body disappeared and turned into a small fire bird. His small eyes blinked and he chuckled: "Big Tiger, are you scared?"
Xia Hu glared and nodded fiercely, "Well, I'm scared!"
Xia Nan glanced at him and thought: If Huo Wu transforms, you will be even more afraid.
"Xiaohong, I want to find a suitable place to retreat."
Xia Nan said.
The sword he just used gave him a new understanding of the artistic conception of killing.
He wants to take advantage of this moment to understand the artistic conception of killing in one fell swoop!
"Yes, Master."
Huo Wu did not correct Xia Nan this time.
Soon, Huo Wu found an excellent retreat place nearby.
Then he took Xia Nan and Xia Hu there.
This is a towering and steep mountain.
There is a natural cave on the steep mountainside.
In front of the cave is a huge stone platform, and on one side is an old tree with a crooked neck.
After entering the cave, Dahu tidied up and gave the young master a separate space.
Xia Nan entered and blocked the stone.
Soon he entered a state of retreat
Xiaoming County.
Dark underground palace.
"Palace Master, Shadow Twenty-Three is dead."
The man in black robe cupped his fists.
Um?
The palace master sitting at the top suddenly burst out with a terrifying aura.
The entire underground palace suddenly became extremely depressing.
"What's going on?"
Although his tone was calm, it was like the calm before the storm.
The man in black couldn't help but trembled, and said quickly: "Just now, Ying Twenty-three's soul jade slip suddenly shattered, and his soul was obviously destroyed in an instant. There is only one reason for this, and that is
He met a more powerful opponent than him."
After saying these last words, the man in black robe regretted it.
Because this is simply nonsense.
Ying Twenty-Three is a strong person in the first level of Star Core Realm. If he were not a strong person in the second level of Star Core Realm or above, it would be impossible to kill him.
"snort!"
The 'Palace Master' snorted coldly.
Obviously very dissatisfied with him.
"Increase the assassination level and be sure to kill it this time!"
"Yes, Palace Master."
The man in black robe cupped his fists.
He quickly backed out.
But in his heart he sighed.
Shadow Twenty-Three left by using the teleportation talisman through the positioning disk.
But there was only one positioning disk left in Hanwucheng.
Now that the positioning disk has been used, it is not easy to find the other party.
Now, if you want to find Xia Nan, you must use the "eyes in the sky".
"Eye of the Sky" is a demon bird cultivated by the Shadow Tower. Each one is above the second level, and its own strength is very powerful.
However, their most important role is to collect intelligence
Three days later.
A majestic killing intent came from the cave.
Xia Hu and Huo Wu, who were sitting on the big rock in front of the cave, were immediately startled.
A terrifying murderous intention enveloped Xia Hu and Huo Wu.
Xia Hu and Huo Wu felt goose bumps all over their bodies, and a strong feeling of heart palpitations arose spontaneously.
In the cave.
Xia Nan opened her eyes.
"It turns out that this is the artistic conception of killing."
There was a sharp edge in his eyes.
The artistic conception can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, and may even be a bit illusory, but it can greatly enhance combat effectiveness.
When he understood the artistic conception of killing, he also touched the threshold of the artistic conception of destruction due to the nature of the elemental force in his body.
Xia Nan quickly focused on the knife.
Relatively speaking, what he is more willing to understand is the illusory sword intention.
Legend has it that as long as you understand the meaning of the sword, the so-called leapfrog battle is not a problem.
It can even cross great realms and kill enemies.
In the past, Uncle He had mentioned it with longing.
But including the predecessor, they didn't take it seriously. After all, these so-called artistic conceptions were just legends.
Now, when he truly understood the artistic conception, he discovered that the so-called legend could really become a reality.
"Swordsmen and soldiers use the method of killing. As the saying goes, "One thing understands all things," and the so-called sword intention and the artistic conception of killing should also have an inseparable relationship.
"In the realm of the unity of man and sword, I have basically understood the power of the sword. If I integrate the artistic conception of killing, can I further understand the intention of the sword?"
Then he closed his eyes again and entered enlightenment again.
The atmosphere of killing that shrouded the outside slowly disappeared.
Xia Hu and Huo Wu looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still shock on their faces.
Especially Xia Hu, it was only then that he felt that the clothes on his back were getting wet without even realizing it.
"What was that just now? Why do I feel like I'm in an endless sea of blood?"
Xia Hu said with lingering fear.
"That is the artistic conception of killing understood by the master."
Huo Wu suddenly said excitedly.
She and Xia Nan have a contractual relationship. Just now, the master realized the artistic conception of killing, and even she felt the same and had a hint of it.
She knew that this was done intentionally by the master and was passed on to her through a contractual relationship, with the purpose of letting her understand the artistic conception of killing.
Although there is only an insignificant trace, it is just touching the threshold, not even getting started.
But now that she has reached the threshold, she believes that given time, she will be able to fully understand the artistic conception of killing.
Because she is a demon and is naturally suited to killing.
"Young Master is so awesome!"
Xia Hu's eyes were filled with deep admiration.
"Master is indeed very powerful!"
Huo Wu said matter-of-factly.
Although she has never been in contact with human society before, there has always been an ancient inheritance in the Netherworld.
We know from ancient inheritance that artistic conception is one of the most difficult skills to master.
Those who can master artistic conception are unique geniuses, and they are unique.
"Is it true that human wisdom and understanding are stronger than demons?"
Huo Wu felt a little envious.
But so far, she has only seen three human beings: Xia Nan, Xia Hu and the previous killer, so she can't count them.
More than ten days passed in a flash.
This day.
Xia Hu, who was practicing on the rocks, was suddenly startled.
Open your eyes suddenly.
A sharp edge came from the cave.
The leaves next to the boulder suddenly became straight, like knives, looking extremely sharp.
Even the grass in the cracks between the stones stood up straight like a sharp sword, exuding an edge.
The little fire sparrow transformed from the fire dance had its feathers standing on end, and its little eyes were filled with fear.
I couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this the intention of the sword?"
This legendary artistic conception was actually understood by the owner!
What a monster the master’s understanding is!
Knife intention!
Xia Hu stared.
As soon as the front leg comprehended the artistic conception of killing, the back leg comprehended the legendary sword intention again!
Uncle He is right, the young master's martial arts talent is indeed very powerful!
He finally understood, no wonder the young master gave up his gun and practiced swordsmanship.
Young Master, he was born to be a swordsman!
Boom.
The big stone in the cave was pushed away.
The cave that had been shrouded in dust for many days finally saw the light of day again.
Xia Nan walked out of it.
"Master, that was the intention of the sword just now?"
Xia Hu stepped forward and asked in shock.
Xia Nan nodded.
With a wave of his hand.
A leaf flew gently from the ground and quickly passed the big tree with a crooked neck.
A branch that the man was hugging suddenly broke off and fell down the cliff.
The incision is as smooth as a mirror.
Xia Hu's eyes bulged out.
He knew very well that there was no elemental blessing on the leaf just now, but it cut off the tree trunk that was hugged by one person.
All this is simply unbelievable.
"Master, you have actually understood the legendary sword intention!"
Huo Wu's shocked voice sounded in Xia Nan's mind.
"Master, you are amazing!"
Xia Hu was shocked and suddenly said excitedly, "I heard Uncle He say before that if you can understand the legendary sword intention or sword intention, you can kill people thousands of miles away. Master, can you do it too?
"
Xia Nan glanced at him and said: "It's not that exaggerated. Moreover, I have only scratched the surface of the meaning of the sword."
"You can be so powerful just by scratching the surface. Master, if you understand it thoroughly, wouldn't you be invincible?"
Xia Hu said with excitement on his face.
Can you become invincible if you understand the meaning of the sword?
Xia Nan shook his head.
Understanding the sword's intention or not comprehending the sword's intention has a huge impact on combat effectiveness.
However, it is too difficult to understand.
I realized it a few days ago, and then I stopped moving forward, staying at the beginning.
Then he noticed Xia Hu's cultivation.
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He smiled and said: "Yes, my cultivation has increased a lot. It seems that I have not slacked off during this period."
Xia Hu touched his bald head and said honestly: "Young master works so hard, how can I dare to slack off?"
At this time, his cultivation has reached the twenty-third level of the body refining realm.
And when he reached the 20th level of the body refining realm, he derived his spiritual consciousness.
But Xia Nan doesn't know yet.
Xia Nan suddenly remembered something, "How many days have I been in seclusion?"
"Master, it's been almost half a month."
Xia Hu said.
Half a month!
It took so long!
Xia Nan was shocked.
It really is a timeless retreat!
But fortunately, it didn’t exceed the registration time for the battlefield of the heavens.
Xia Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he said: "Make something to eat, and we will set off after eating."
"Okay, Master. I'm going down the mountain to find some wild vegetables and mushrooms."
Xia Hu said.
"I'll go too."
Huo Wu immediately flew to Xia Hu's shoulder.
One person and one bird quickly descended the mountain.
With a thought, the panel appeared in front of my eyes.
[Auxiliary skills: Killing Concept 5%+ (can be improved. Every 1% increase requires 100 life points), Sword Intention 1%+ (can be improved. Every 1% increase requires 500 life points)]
[Equipment: Level 2 Soldier]
【Life points: 2362】
【Glory Points: 38600】
【Retinue: 2】
[Side mission: Find the Black Phoenix Minghuo, help Squire 2 awaken the phoenix bloodline, mission completion reward: 10,000 life points]
[Main mission: Kill 100,000 monsters. Reward after completing the mission: The system will automatically upgrade and a lottery will be given]
[Task Completion Degree: 00]
Looking at the sword intent on the panel, each 1% increase requires 500 life points, and I couldn't help but sigh slightly.
In other words, if you want the sword intention to be perfect, unless you realize it yourself, you will need to spend nearly 50,000 life points to realize it.
Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world.
Since the life points are consumed so much, it’s better to release the sword intent first.
Let’s first improve the artistic conception of killing.
During the battle with the black-clothed killer, he clearly felt the powerful lethality brought by the killing intent.
This is certainly due to the special attributes of his Yuanli and the strength of his physical body, but just a trace of it can bless such strong combat power, which is enough to illustrate the powerful effect of blessing the killing mood.
Even if this is the case, what will happen if it reaches Consummation?
Without any hesitation.
"Enhance the artistic conception of killing!"
Life points,-100
Killing mood +1%, +1%, +1%
In the end, there were only 62 life points left, and the killing concept reached 28%, nearly 30%.
Xia Nan stood up and waved her hand.
Thousand Feathers Meteor Kill!
A series of sword auras containing the concept of killing suddenly appeared, and they shot towards the mountain in dense numbers.
Blah blah blah
Pieces of rock were cut into pieces and fell down.
The huge mountain top tens of meters high collapsed and disappeared in an instant.
Not only that, all the plants within hundreds of meters were withered and lost their vitality in an instant.
Xia Nan nodded secretly.
The effect of this casual blow is not bad.
He believed that if he met the man in black again, with his current strength, he was confident that he would be able to kill him even if he did not rely on the first-level low-level violent pill to improve his three minor realms.
Xia Hu hasn't come back yet.
Xia Nan immediately began to sort out the storage ring of the killer in black.
It was very simple inside, with only a set of clothes, a stack of silver notes worth less than ten thousand taels, and a golden talisman.
Take out the talisman.
"System scan."
[Scanning, please wait]
[Scan completed. One-time teleportation talisman: Advanced talisman, predicted to be randomly teleported to 500 kilometers away. 】
It turns out this is the teleportation talisman.
Xia Nan nodded slightly.
Then put them all away.
Recover all his corpse and his sword, and get 1200 glory points.
After a while, Xia Hu and Huo Wu came back.
Xia Hu was shocked when he saw the withered plants and collapsed hills.
No need to ask, this must have been done by the young master.
The young master is the young master!
Even Huo Wu admired him endlessly.
The stronger the master, the happier and more at ease she is.
The three of them finished their meal.
After tidying up, we set off immediately.
Huo Wu still looks like a little fire sparrow, always lying on Xia Nan's shoulder.
Xia Nan Xia Hu is very fast.
But Xia Nan soon discovered that Xia Hu's big body was almost as fast as lightning.
One step is tens of meters, and the steps are as fast as flying.
His storm step level is perfect at the spiritual level, but at full strength, it is almost the same as Xia Hu.
For the first time, Xia Nan felt that he had a shortcoming in speed.
In fact, it's not that the Storm Step is not fast, but that Xia Hu's inherited skill "Zhu Ri Step" is too powerful.
It's a pity that there is nothing he can do to improve it. On the panel, he has been unable to add points to Storm Step.
"System, how to upgrade Storm Step?"
[The host has insufficient cultivation and cannot be upgraded temporarily.]
Xia Nan frowned slightly.
"Then how to increase the speed?"
He asked in a different way.
[The host can understand the artistic conception of wind.]
Understand the artistic conception of wind?
Xia Nan shook his head.
This thing is not something you can comprehend just because you want to.
He understands the artistic conception of killing because his energy is the attribute of killing and destruction.
And comprehending that glimmer of sword intent was precisely because he happened to comprehend the artistic conception of killing.
Pure luck.
Now it is too difficult to understand the artistic conception of wind.
If there is no opportunity, it is almost impossible to even think about it.
Along the way, I still didn't encounter any demons above the middle-level commander level, and even the demons at the low-level commander level disappeared in the end.
This made Xia Nan smell an extremely unusual smell.
It is said that we are approaching the Bloody Rift Valley, and even lord-level monsters should exist here.
But now there is not even one common low-level leader-level demon.
This is so abnormal.
The next day, when they arrived at the Bloody Rift Valley, Xia Nan discovered that there was not a single leader-level monster within dozens of miles.
Not to mention the lord level.
All are ordinary monsters.
It is completely different from the lord level described on the original map.
But even if it is an ordinary monster, Xia Nan is not ready to let it go.
Although there are no life points, the main task of the system still needs to be completed.
He and Xia Hu slaughtered together, and thousands of ordinary monsters were killed by the two of them.
Along the way, they slaughtered all the monsters within thousands of miles.
…
"Master, I discovered that there is a bird in the sky that seems to be watching us all the time."
Huo Wu's voice sounded in Xia Nan's mind.
Xia Nan raised her eyes and looked at the sky.
Sure enough, there was a small black spot hovering high in the sky.
From such a distance, only Huo Wu, a lord-level Netherworld Fire Bird, could see clearly.
"How long?"
Xia Nan asked.
"It's been about a quarter of an hour."
Huo Wu said.
"What level?"
"Level 2."
"Kill it!"
"Okay, Master."
The little fire sparrow transformed from the fire dance suddenly soared into the sky and shot towards the black spot like lightning.
Although the foundation is damaged, it is still very simple to kill a second-level demon bird once in a while.
High in the sky, the demon bird was a blood-winged thunder eagle. Seeing Huo Wu flying towards it, his eyes were a little disdainful.
Because, the little fire sparrow that Huo Wu turned into was too small.
It's so small that I don't even have a chance to sharpen its claws, or even wedge it between its teeth.
That's just a little faster
But the next moment, it regretted it.
The fire danced like lightning, and when it flew less than a hundred meters, a terrifying and huge force rushed towards the face.
Level three!
This little fire bird is actually the lord!
The Blood-Winged Thunder Eagle was immediately frightened.
It is Level 2, and it is a dead end if it encounters Level 3.
Quickly turn around and escape.
It's a pity that I only reacted at this time, but it was already too late.
Fire Dance passed quickly past it.
The Blood-Winged Thunder Eagle suddenly burst into flames and fell headlong into the clouds.
Huo Wu turned around and transformed into a huge blood-red body, swallowing it in one gulp.
Then it turned into a little fire sparrow again and flew towards Xia Nan.
After solving the surveillance demon bird, Xia Nan and others continued to move forward.
…
Liu Yang's face looked very ugly.
In order to complete the mission of the 'Palace Master' to find Xia Nan, he released seven "Eye of the Sky" blood-winged thunder eagles.
The Eyes of Heaven generally fly at an altitude of several thousand feet, and it is difficult for humans or demons to attack them.
But I didn't expect that one of them was broken just now.
There are not many "Eye of the Sky" blood-winged thunder eagles, and it is not easy to cultivate them.
After all, once you become a demon, it is difficult to be directly controlled by humans.
"According to the scope of the 'Sky Eye''s previous patrol, the damaged 'Sky Eye' should be located near the Bloody Rift Valley."
"If they don't change their route, they should arrive at Fenghua City soon."
