Although the Yaochi Banquet arranges seats for all invitees, it does not stipulate that everyone must sit at their own seats.
It's just that most of the monks who participated in the Yaochi banquet have always kept their identities, either leaving the banquet directly and returning home, or watching the competition at Fengyun Tai. Very few people would choose to leave the banquet and sit at other people's seats.
But Dongfang Yue is obviously not included in this list.
So she sat at the same table as Ji Si, as if she was swearing some kind of sovereignty.
But now, what she cares more about is what Ji Si said.
"He has eaten a demon, what does that mean?"
"Literally." Ji Si smiled.
Dongfang Yue squinted her eyes, her eyes a little dangerous.
Ji Si didn't take it seriously.
"If you understand this matter, you will naturally understand it. If you don't understand something, you still don't understand it, so it's better not to say it... Moreover, the interests involved in this matter are huge, and it will be of no benefit to someone like you who doesn't understand anything.
"Ji Si just looked at Feng Yun with interest.
Taiwan, but the soul is transmitting messages to Dongfang Yue, "The only thing I can tell you is that the water here is very deep and involves many secrets. Even if you are willing to search, it will be difficult to find any clues, so you just have to
Just watch a show."
Dongfang Yue looked calm.
But inside he seemed very unwilling.
In other words, it is difficult to calm down.
There are secrets in this world that even the Dongfang family doesn’t know about?
This is impossible!
…
"Have you ever eaten a demon? What do you mean?"
Su Anran looked stunned.
"Has he eaten monsters?"
"The demon clan." Qing Yu looked at Xue Bin who was stepping onto the Fengyun Terrace step by step with a gloomy expression, "It's not a monster, nor a ferocious beast, but a demon clan. The demons living in the Beiting Demon League or the mountains of Nanzhou
clan.”
Qingyu has now separated from the demon clan, but after all, she has not denied her Qingqiu bloodline, so her senses for the demon clan are still relatively complicated.
But the one who was really shocked was Su Anran.
Eat monsters?
Su Anran really felt a physical discomfort.
What is the difference between this and monster cannibalism?
"How do you know?"
Not only Su Anran was curious about this question, but Su Yanran on the side was also very curious, but she was too embarrassed to ask.
The only person in the audience who was not interested was probably the little butcher.
When Qingyu spoke with a heavy face, she was carefully reaching into her storage bag. After touching the tip of a flying sword, she broke it hard and broke off a small fragment of the flying sword, and then sneaked out
While pretending to wipe his mouth, he fed the pieces of the flying sword into his mouth.
After making sure that Su Anran didn't notice him, he chewed a few times.
But the little butcher still didn't dare to let go, because after chewing a few times, he put it in his mouth again, carefully took a peek at Su Anran, and only after confirming again and again that Su Anran didn't notice his little move, did he dare to continue gently.
Chewing.
After repeating this process several times, the little butcher finally ate this small fragment of the flying sword.
The little guy smacked his lips and had endless aftertaste.
After confirming that no one had discovered her, she reached into her storage bag again...
The little butcher was enjoying his life without paying any attention to the strange atmosphere around him.
"How do I know?" Qingyu sneered, "The demonic aura on his body is so strong that it can be smelled a hundred miles away."
"Why didn't I smell it?"
Qingyu glanced sideways at Su Anran and grunted: "It's normal that you can't smell it. If you smell it, you'd be surprised."
After saying that, Qingyu was silent for a while, and then said again in a low voice: "Just like a demon who has eaten a human will have some changes in its image, the human race who has eaten a demon will also have some changes...
Their bodies will be contaminated with the scent of demons. Perhaps they can hide it from the light under conscious suppression, but once their emotions have obvious ups and downs, it is impossible to suppress this scent. Instead, it will follow the true energy in their bodies.
It bursts out of activity."
"Only demons can smell it?"
"Monsters, or spiritual beasts like me, or..." Qingyu pursed her lips, and then exhaled, "Only those who have eaten demons can feel it."
Su Yanran couldn't help but let out a low exclamation at this time: "Why would someone want to eat a demon?"
"There is a very special secret method..." Qingyu said slowly, "As long as human monks eat demons through this secret method, they can strengthen and improve their own abilities, including true energy, physical body, spiritual consciousness, divine soul, etc.
.I don’t know the specific situation, and the secret records in the clan are also unclear, but it can be confirmed that this secret method is indeed effective, so many monks who have reached the bottleneck period will choose this special method to make a breakthrough.
."
"The evil ways." Su Anran snorted coldly.
"It's a wicked way, but the effect is very obvious. I don't know if there will be any side effects, but the clan's classics have recorded that the effects enhanced by such secret methods can be continuously superimposed until the upper limit is reached." Qingyu looked ugly.
Said, "This is also the reason why the great dynasties of the Second Era would raise monsters... In that era, the status of the monsters was not necessarily much better than that of domestic animals. This is also the reason why the monsters would hunt and raise animals at the beginning of the third era.
The reason for supporting the human race.”
revenge.
After the great catastrophe of the End of the Second Age, the human race completely declined and became mortals.
Then the spiritual energy of the third era revived, and the demon clan grew faster than the human race, so the demon clan began to raise the human race as livestock. All this was in revenge for the harm done to the demon clan by the human race during the second era.
.
Only later, with the successive appearances of Tiangong, Jianzong, and Lingshan, did humans finally get rid of their identity as livestock of the demon clan, and then the demon clan was forced to promise not to treat humans as food anymore - of course, this kind of law
Naturally, it is impossible to completely ban it. There will still be some monsters who secretly capture humans, but the prerequisite is that they are not discovered.
But this is really the first time Su Anran has heard of the human race eating monsters.
"But this kind of secret method should have been completely destroyed with the destruction of the second era and the growth of the demon clan in the third era. Why does anyone still know about it?" Qingyu's face showed a puzzled look, "And
Look at that man named Xue Bin
Man, he must have eaten more than one monster... His true energy was almost completely covered by the evil spirit, which made his true energy two or three times stronger than that of ordinary monks, and almost as strong as that of the Zhenyuan Sect.
He is a direct disciple who has practiced the "True Essence Breathing Method"."
"No wonder he dares to imitate my sword energy."
Su Anran understood instantly.
"But this method has no effect other than making the true energy stronger. Even the control of the true energy will become very low..."
Su Anran glanced at Qingyu faintly, feeling that the child was still as stupid as before.
"Don't you think that my sword energy needs to be controlled?"
"Uh..." Qingyu was suddenly stunned.
yes!
This piece of shit Su Anran doesn't need to control his sword energy at all!
The true energy that has been completely eroded by the demonic energy is mixed with a large amount of impurities. Although it will be more powerful and terrifying when the power explodes, in exchange for the increase in the amount of true energy and the stronger true energy, the control power will be greatly reduced.
.
This is quite disadvantageous for many monks who pay attention to precise control.
Especially martial arts cultivators and sword cultivators—Buddhism and Confucianism would never do something like eating demons.
In the past, unless a monk was truly desperate, he would not have tried such a way even if he knew there was one.
But if you know Su Anran's sword energy operation mode...
Qingyu's breathing became rapid.
"Then Mu Xue is in danger!"
Qingyu is not a novice who doesn't know anything. At least she has been in Taiyi Valley for so long, so she must know the power of Su Anran's sword energy - even if she didn't know it before, Mu Xue has been practicing in Lanzhuyuan recently.
, Su Anran demonstrated the power and characteristics of his sword energy to Mu Xue several times, and Qingyu was awakened more than once or twice.
"boom--"
A violent explosion suddenly sounded.
Most of the monks watching the battle exclaimed in surprise.
They just saw with their own eyes that when Xue Bin faced Mu Xue's attack, he did not fight with the opponent, but chose to quickly distance himself, and then when he raised his hand, two sword energy burst out one after another.
.
The speed of these two sword qi is not very fast, and the monks who can attend the Yaochi Banquet are naturally not idiots who can't understand anything, so they can feel the inner meaning of Xue Bin's two sword qi.
The structure is not stable, it is just
There are not many people who can understand the mystery. They even think that this is probably because Xue Bin was too hasty and had no time to release the sharp sword energy with a stable structure, which caused the two sword energy to shake and merge.
Escaped by Mu Xue.
Yes.
Escaped by Mu Xue.
With just a gap, Mu Xue dodged the first sword energy.
Then, he had to dodge the second sword energy again.
After all, the two sword energies are one behind the other, so there is still some distance between them.
But right now!
Without any warning, the two sword energies suddenly exploded!
The airflow formed by the two explosions in front and back completely compressed all Mu Xue's dodge space one after the other - this not only ensured that Mu Xue had no room to dodge, but also reduced the powerful impact damage caused by the sword energy explosion.
Strive for the maximum.
To explain it in game terms, it means taking all the damage!
But it was different from the exclamations of those monks ranked after fifty.
It is also different from the concentration and breath holding of those monks ranked between thirty and fifty.
Most of the monks ranked within thirty looked quite calm.
Because they judged by the impact power of the two sword energy explosions, they knew that the power was not enough to seriously injure Mu Xue.
But it is definitely enough to cause her some injuries.
Most of the monks in this ranking range are thinking about how to reduce the harm caused by the impact of the explosion to themselves if they encounter such a situation - many people even put themselves in Mu Xue's situation and think about how to deal with it.
After all, if Xue Bin hadn't shown such skill in the fight with Mu Xue at this time, with their strength, they would have really suffered some losses if they encountered each other for the first time.
Qingyu nervously grabbed Su Anran's hand.
"It's okay." Su Anran laughed, "It hurts a little bit..."
…
"Heh." Nai Yue chuckled.
Laughter is contemptuous.
All the disciples of Wanjian Tower were trembling in fear, not daring to say anything or ask anything.
Especially Ye Yunchi and Helianwei.
The two of them had seen with their own eyes the scene of Nai Yue being beaten by a similar sword energy.
"Senior sister, what are you laughing at?"
The dumbfounded Qingsu Xiaoxiao spoke in confusion.
Nai Yue turned her head, looked at Su Xiaoxiao, and then returned her gaze to the smoke on the Fengyun Terrace: "With this power, just wanting to hurt Mu Xue is too despising Su Anran, who has been following Su Anran recently.
Mu Xue is beside me."
…
"You don't seem surprised?" Ji Si turned his head and glanced at Dongfang Yue curiously.
"Mu Xue has been following Su Anran recently."
"So?" Ji Si raised his eyebrows, somewhat confused as to what Dongfang Yue meant by this.
Dongfang Yue glanced at Ji Si, and then said in a calm tone: "If you understand this matter, you will understand it naturally. If you don't understand it, you won't understand it, so it's better not to say it. The only thing I can tell you is Su Anran
The power of the sword energy is not like this, so you can just watch the show."
Ji Si was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Okay! Then let's see what Mu Xue, who has been practicing hard beside Su Anran for so many days, can do."
"The best swordsman in the world."
Dongfang Yue took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
She thought of Dongfang Jasmine and Dongfang Shuang again.
Then Dongfang Yue turned her head and looked in the direction of Su Anran.
She knew that in the Xuan Realm, apart from their Dongfang family, probably no one else knew how terrifying Su Anran's sword energy was - even those who had fought side by side with Su Anran in the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield, after all, they had never faced it in person.
Experienced.
Ji Si shrugged and said nothing more.
Is Su Anran strong?
He thought it was very strong.
It ranked first on the new list that year, beating him.
Now he is still number one on the ranking list, beating him again.
He looked forward to playing against Su Anran.
Because Su Anran is his recognized opponent.
But Mu Xue?
Ji Si didn't want to comment. He didn't think that Mu Xue could really become extremely tyrannical after being with Su Anran for only ten days.
Others don't know Xue Bin's situation.
But since Xue Bin revealed his hidden trump card, Ji Si has already recalculated. He can definitely squeeze into the top fifteen rankings - if Dongfang Yue and Helianwei are not careful, they will definitely overturn.
After all, judging from the demonic aura emanating from his body, he had eaten more than one demon.
This Yaochi banquet is really full of surprises.
Ji Si's face was full of expectation.
…
The dust and smoke dispersed.
Mu Xue's robe had a lot of damage, exposing a large area of skin.
However, the originally snow-white and tender skin was now covered with tiny wounds, with gurgling blood flowing out, staining half of his clothes red.
Her injuries were more serious than those monks sitting on the floating platform watching the battle had imagined.
It is difficult for monks who have not faced it personally to understand how lethal this true energy mixed with demonic energy can be.
At least, it is three points more powerful than it appears on the surface.
Mu Xue still underestimated the lethality of Xue Bin's sword energy.
So of course she has to pay the price.
"If you only have this kind of strength..." Xue Bin, standing far away, sneered, "Then don't even think about leaving here today."
"Do you think the Fairy Palace will allow you to kill someone?" Mu Xue wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corner of her mouth with a cold expression.
"Of course the Fairy Palace will not allow it, but isn't it normal for a few dead people to appear in the Fengyuntai competitions of previous Yaochi Banquets?" Xue Bin smiled contemptuously, "You have already experienced the power of my sword energy, so you
Do you think...the Fairy Palace referee can stop it?"
"Indeed." Mu Xue nodded, "As long as you go fast enough, you can't stop it."
Xue Bin suddenly raised his hand, then pointed a finger suddenly, and three sword energy shot out of the air instantly.
This time, the speed of these three sword qi was much faster than the two shaky sword qi before.
It's obvious.
Although Xue Bin did not have enough control over the sword energy, he was still able to make the sword energy burst out very quickly.
At this moment, everyone has understood.
Xue Bin had deliberately made the speed of the two sword energy very slow before, just to create an illusion for Mu Xue and lure her into a trap.
But now, Xue Bin no longer needs to hide it.
"咻咻咻咻咻-"
A strange buzzing sound suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards...
"boom--!"
"Boom——! Boom——!"
Three violent explosions suddenly sounded in succession.
Xue Bin's pupils suddenly shrank.
The three sword energies he shot out were completely destroyed before they even reached Mu Xue's side.
"You..." A look of unabashed surprise appeared on Xue Bin's face, "What did you do?!"
The sun is shining.
Behind Mu Xue, a dense mass of hundreds of tiny sword energies suddenly appeared. These sword energies were not large in size, only about an inch. They were different from the original flying swords that were normally hidden in the monk's divine sea.
The swords are of the same size. But the problem is that each of these sword energies has a very sharp aura, which is completely impossible to judge with common sense.
"The treasure trove of the king of Tang poetry!?" Xue Bin exclaimed.
"No." Mu Xue shook her head.
Then she raised her right hand.
The sword energy behind her actually began to circle around, forming circles one after another.
These rings are one layer inside another, and when they are stacked together so densely, it is impossible to tell how many layers there are, nor how many sword energies there are.
"Mr. Su said that his sword energy is very special. There is no future in simply imitating his sword energy, so he specially taught me this move." Mu Xue chuckled and said slowly, "...This is
The technique I have been studying with Mr. Su for the past ten days is also the only sword energy technique that I can master and be proficient in."
"What kind of sword skill is this?"
"I don't quite understand, because I simply can't understand what Mr. Su said. The only thing I understand is that this move is very focused on speed and penetration." Mu Xue said, "Mr. Su said...
...This move is called...Gatling Sword Qi."
"Using this move to send you on your way... should be enough."
