C334 The Initial Stage of the Sword Dao
C334 The Initial Stage of the Sword Dao
What surrounded him were three Devil Thing at the seventh level of the Heavenly Martial Stage. Their eyes were red, and they were attacking Wang Hao at an astonishing rate.
Wang Hao kept changing his steps. During his time in Devil Suppressing Cave, he had increased his mastery of the Cloud Stepping Technique and the Wind Cloud Twelve Styles to the point where he could cast spells faster.
With the help of the fast casting, Wang Hao was able to perform the 99 variations of Cloud Stepping to the extreme.
"Wind Cloud Twelve Styles!"
The Dragon Abyss Sword in Wang Hao's hand flashed with several blood-red lights. A few blood lines immediately appeared on the Devil Thing's body.
The Devil Thing roared in pain. Its movement was slower by thirty percent. Wang Hao immediately seized this opportunity and stabbed at it with a deadly sword.
The Dragon Abyss Sword cut through the air, producing the sound of the wind and clouds howling. It was just an ordinary thrust, but it was as fast as lightning that streaked across the sky.
"Puff!"
The sharp Dragon Abyss Sword pierced through the Devil Thing's head. Wang Hao coldly snorted. The Sword Doctrine's righteousness surged out from the tip of his sword, condensing into a green lotus that exploded!
"Blue Lotus Sword!"
"Bang!"
The Devil Thing's head exploded, and black blood splashed all over Wang Hao's body. However, he didn't care at all. He leapt up, and his body spun 360 degrees in the air, dodging the pincer attack of the other two Devil Thing.
"Wind Cloud Twelve Styles, slash!"
Another two blood-red beams cut through the darkness. The other two Devil Thing's heads rolled on the ground, and their huge bodies collapsed with a loud bang, causing dust to fly everywhere.
Wang Hao's current appearance was somewhat miserable. The clothes on his body were in tatters, and they were even dyed black by his blood. It was unknown whether it was the blood of the Devil Thing or his own, but the training he had been through these past few days had been extremely miserable!
After killing the three Devil Things, Wang Hao didn't continue advancing, because he had already reached the end of the seventh level of the Devil Suppressing Cave.
The entrance to the seventh level to the eighth level was different from the entrance that Wang Hao had seen before.
The entrance was made of white jade, and it was emitting powerful seal waves.
Wang Hao murmured, "Such a powerful seal must have been set up by an extremely terrifying Devil Thing!"
Wang Hao tried to touch the seal with his hand, but before he could touch the seal, a powerful lightning force climbed onto Wang Hao's finger.
"Hmph!"
Wang Hao reacted quickly. He immediately condensed a sword energy and canceled out the lightning.
"This seal is a two-way seal. If I want to enter the eighth level of Devil Suppressing Cave, I need to break this seal."
Wang Hao hesitated for a moment before giving up on this idea. He was training in the Devil Suppressing Cave. The main purpose was to hone the two martial skills taught to him by color. Now, he could practice them. There was no need to stay any longer.
"It's time to leave!"
Wang Hao had just taken the first step of returning when a crisp system notification sounded in his mind.
"System Notification, you have completed the mission 'Complete Yaen San's Practicals' with a perfect score. You have been rewarded with five bottles of Level 4 Experience Potion and a hundred top-grade vitality stones. System Notification: You have completed the mission 'Complete Yaen San's Practicals' with a perfect score. You have received five bottles of Level 4 Experience Potion and a hundred top-grade vitality stones."
"Five bottles of Experience Potion are good stuff, but I have enough vitality stones, so I have no need for it."
Wang Hao immediately consumed the experience potion, and the five bottles of Level 4 Experience Potion gave him 50,000 experience points.
Looking at his experience bar, Wang Hao's accumulated experience points had already reached the Fourth Level Heavenly Martial Stage, 420,000 / 500,000. He was about to break through to a new realm.
"The experience points brought by this Slaughter Medal are much faster than cultivation. However, this killing value is too hard to obtain. I have killed all of the people in the seventh level of the Devil Suppressing Cave. It only increases the killing value from 11 / 100 to 61 / 100!"
Wang Hao suddenly laughed, "I heard that Bai Qi has joined the Qilin Army and often fights with monsters that threaten humans and demons. Why don't I join in and join in the fun?"
Wang Hao stepped out of Devil Suppressing Cave and found a small town nearby. He washed up and returned to the Qilin Academy as fast as he could.
He stepped into the bamboo forest and saw Yaen San sleeping on a huge tree stump. The lid of the exquisite gourd was not closed, and the smell of fine wine filled the entire bamboo forest.
Wang Hao didn't wake Yaen San up. Instead, he sat with his legs crossed and started cultivating.
However, after a quarter of an hour, Wang Hao was unable to continue cultivating.
"What exactly is the wine that Master drank? Why does it disturb my mind?"
Just like the first time he saw the exquisite gourd, a strong impulse surged in Wang Hao's heart. He wanted to walk forward and take two sips of the fine wine in the gourd.
"With such a disposition, how can it become a great treasure?!"
Wang Hao hardened his heart and forcefully stabilized his state of mind. However, no matter how firm his mind was, it was still difficult for him to resist the stronger impulse.
Yaen San, who was sleeping with his back facing Wang Hao, suddenly opened his eyes. A trace of a smile appeared on his face. When Wang Hao stepped into the bamboo forest, he realized that the reason why he didn't get up was because he wanted to take a look. How long could Wang Hao endure the temptation?
Wang Hao's current state of mind was like boiling spring water. He gritted his teeth, and even his gums were bleeding.
"No! If this continues, it will increase the flames of my inner demon!"
Wang Hao clenched his fists when he thought of the other 'him' hidden in the depths of his consciousness. The more uncertain his mind was, the greater the strength of his inner demon!
As he expected, just as he was about to try to calm himself down again, his other voice rang out in his mind.
"Drink it! How can you endure such delicious food?"
"Go and drink! Master is already asleep. You secretly drink a few mouthfuls. He won't know!"
"Shut up!" Wang Hao shouted in his heart, "Mental demons, don't disturb my heart!"
"Hahahahahaha!" The heart demon laughed wildly. "Wang Hao, as long as I don't show myself, what can you do to me? Disturb your mind? Sooner or later, I will take your body for myself!"
The voice of the inner demon echoed in Wang Hao's ears for a long time. Wang Hao could not even enter meditation.
"I have to find a way to calm myself down!"
Wang Hao took out three strange fragments from his inventory. With a thought, the three fragments floated up and moved around him slowly.
These three fragments were the three Sword Dao Fragments that Wang Hao had obtained. He wanted to calm himself down by comprehending the righteous path of the sword.
Wang Hao threw his consciousness into the three fragments. In an instant, it was as if he had thrown himself into a vast force. The scenery in front of him changed drastically. The bamboo forest disappeared and was replaced by a boundless starry sky.
All the sounds had disappeared. Wang Hao felt that his heart had never been so calm. It was as if he was swimming freely in the ocean of the sword, and his entire body felt comfortable.
Countless principles surged into Wang Hao's mind. He didn't resist at all, and absorbed all of them.
This state continued for an unknown period of time. Wang Hao no longer had the concept of time. He soared in the starry sky and firmly remembered every scene in the starry sky.
...
When Wang Hao opened his eyes, the three Sword Dao Fragments surrounding him instantly turned into powder.
Yaen San's smile entered Wang Hao's eyes. Wang Hao hurriedly stood up and bowed.
"Master!"
Yaen San said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have such a treasure. Three Sword Dao Fragment. I'm jealous of you!"
Wang Hao smiled awkwardly and asked, "Master, how long have I been in enlightenment?"
"It has been ten days."
"Ten days?" the old man asked. Wang Hao was shocked. He never thought that his first enlightenment would be ten days.
Wang Hao slightly released some of his strength. Surprisingly, his cultivation base had already reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Martial Stage!
"I've broken through?" Wang Hao was overjoyed, but what made him even more careful was still ahead.
He called out the Dragon Abyss Sword and waved it gently. The sword wind was light, but it contained powerful strength.
The Wind Cloud Twelve Styles, which had only reached the Familiarized Proficiency level, had now reached the Exemplary Mastery level. It was only half a step away from the Peak of Perfection.
"To a martial artist, enlightenment is the fastest way to improve. Disciple, not only is your talent amazing, your luck is also excellent!"
"Thank you, Master, for your praise!"
Yaen San nodded in satisfaction and continued, " Judging from the Wind Cloud Twelve Styles you used, you have completely mastered this martial skill. However, don't relax. Before you cultivate it to the limit... It's useless to be greedy. There's no need to learn new martial skills. "
"Yes!"
Suddenly, Yaen San's expression became serious. He asked, "Disciple, do you have a devil in your heart?"
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
"I won't hide it from Master. Disciple does have a devil in my heart. I wonder if Master has a solution?"
Yaen San shook his head. "The inner demons are invisible and traceless. They are the condensation of the evil in my heart. The only one who can eliminate the inner demons is myself."
"Master, don't worry. One day, I will definitely kill the mental devil!"
"I believe that you can do it." Yaen San took out a jade pendant from his waist and took the Dragon Abyss Sword from Wang Hao.
Yaen San turned the jade pendant into a sword ear and tied it to the hilt of the Dragon Abyss Sword. The jade pendant emitted a strange Essence Energy Undulation. For a moment, the murderous aura emitted from the Dragon Abyss Sword dissipated.
"This soul item of yours has a very serious murderous aura. Use it for a long period of time. It will continuously strengthen your inner demon. I will give you this Pure Heart Jade. It can separate the murderous aura from you, so it should be able to protect you for a while. However, the person who unlocks the bell is the one who unlocks the bell. If you want to dispel your inner demon, you have to rely on yourself to become clear and strong!"
Wang Hao took the Dragon Abyss Sword once again and gave Yaen San a solemn bow.
"Thank you, Master!"
"I have been guarding you for nine days and ten nights. I am tired. Vice Principal Zhu has something to discuss with you. Go and see him yourself!"
Wang Hao was touched. He bowed once again, "Disciple will take his leave!"
After Wang Hao left, Yaen San did not rest as he had said. He condensed the sky and stared blankly for a long time.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew past. In front of him, a young man with a ferocious expression appeared out of thin air.
The young man's body was covered in black smoke. It was extremely similar to the appearance of Wang Hao's inner demon!
The only difference was that this young man's appearance was not the same as Yaen San's.
The young man opened his mouth and said, "Yo, Master, you really love little junior brother! You even gave him the Pure Heart Jade you used to suppress the inner demon. Without the Pure Heart Jade, how are you going to stop me? Hahahahahaha! "
A trace of fluctuation flashed across Yaen San's eyes. He sighed heavily and waved his hand casually. The young man in front of him turned back into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared...
