After all, using Xuan-level top-grade martial arts is stronger than not using martial arts, and much stronger.
As long as Long Yu successfully learns the Demonic Nightmare Killing Technique, he will be able to unleash at least twice the power of the Void Phantom Dragon Blade, or even more.
Originally, there were many limitations when he used the Void Dragon Blade to attack. After all, he had to get close to the opponent to attack, and the danger he faced was much greater.
But if you practice the Demonic Nightmare Killing Technique, you may be able to solve these restrictive conditions and the dangers they bring.
The Demon Nightmare Killing Art is a common assassination technique in the Demon Nightmare Legion. Although most people can practice it, few can master it.
Apart from Huo Yuanbai, the only other people who truly mastered this move were a professional assassination team in the Nightmare Legion.
"If you learn this move from me and can master it to a certain extent, you will be able to bring out the most critical characteristics of the Demon Nightmare Killing Technique, and you can also maximize your own safety while assassinating..."
Huo Yuanbai threw out a bamboo slip and explained, "When you comprehend the Demon Nightmare Killing Technique to a small degree, you can use the power of the laws of heaven and earth to condense your own afterimage. As for the number of afterimages you condense, it depends on your personal talent. With afterimages, the probability of your main body encountering danger is much smaller... For example, this."
As soon as Huo Yuanbai finished speaking, he suddenly split into seven. One Huo Yuanbai real body plus six Huo Yuanbai afterimages appeared in front of Long Yu.
This scene made Long Yu open his eyes wide. He observed carefully and found that each of these afterimages was extremely real and it was impossible to tell the real from the fake!
"When you truly learn this move, you will know that the afterimages created by this move are real no matter which one you want to be real. Whenever you are in danger, you can use these afterimages to change your position."
Huo Yuanbai said this with a smile.
"So, the Devil Nightmare Killing Technique is not weak, but why is it only at the upper level of the Xuan level?"
Long Yu was a little confused.
"Because this is a simplified version of the Demon Nightmare Killing Technique, which is used for the Demon Nightmare Corps' martial artists to practice. The real move is an incomplete Great Wilderness-level martial art that I obtained before."
Huo Yuanbai shook his head with a little regret: "According to my understanding of martial arts and the laws of heaven and earth, I simplified this Xuan-level top-grade assassination martial art, but it is extremely difficult to bring out the true power of this martial art."
Long Yu's mind moved, and he asked, "What is the name of this Great Wilderness-level martial arts technique?"
"Ancient Shadow Kill."
Huo Yuanbai said directly: "But I only have the incomplete upper part, and I can cultivate it to the peak state at most. It is impossible to cultivate it to perfection, transcendence, and transformation. If you want to see it, I can show it to you."
"Um."
Long Yu nodded, his eyes flashing with a hint of heat. This was a Great Wilderness-level martial art, a terrifying martial art on the same level as the Nether Dragon Nine Explosions, and it was also an assassination martial art!
"But don't be greedy."
Huo Yuanbai reminded, "I once had two of my good friends practice this Ancient Shadow Killing Technique, but in the end, they both became obsessed with it and committed suicide. I don't know why, but... Long boy, you'd better not practice this martial art. The Xuan-level upper-grade Demon Nightmare Killing Technique is just right for you."
Hearing this, Long Yu nodded slightly: "Well, I'm just taking a look."
Having said that, Long Yu couldn't help but feel excited. It would be good to see more of the Great Wilderness-level martial arts. If he saw more, he would increase his understanding of the principles of martial arts, which would only benefit Long Yu and not harm him.
If you really can't practice, then at best you just don't practice.
Soon, two bamboo slips, both containing assassination skills, appeared in front of Long Yu. One of them recorded the Demon Nightmare Killing Technique, and the other one looked quite old, with some special patterns engraved on it. This was the bamboo slip of the Great Wilderness-level martial art that Huo Yuanbai had obtained in his early years, the Ancient Wilderness Shadow Killing.
As items of the same Great Wilderness Level, elixirs are naturally of the lowest value, followed by combat weapons, and finally martial arts.
In other words, among different things of the same grade, martial arts have the highest value. The value of the Great Wilderness-level martial arts is even comparable to that of ancient-level combat weapons!
It's a pity that this move of Ancient Shadow Killing is only incomplete. After practicing it, one may even go astray, become insane and commit suicide.
Long Yu first looked through the Demon Nightmare Killing Art for a while and found that this Xuan-level top-grade martial art was indeed simple and easy to understand. If he were to practice it, he would be able to enter the beginner level within three days and achieve minor accomplishments within seven days.
Then he began to look through the pages of Ancient Shadow Killer.
When he looked at the text information recorded on the broken bamboo slip, he found that he did not recognize the characters on it. Moreover, each of these characters was extremely profound and contained some kind of mysterious power.
There was only half of the bamboo slip, and the broken marks were clearly visible, but no one knew where the other half was. Huo Yuanbai only had this half of the bamboo slip in his hand.
"Ancient Shadow Kill."
As Long Yu looked at the bamboo slip, these four words emerged involuntarily in his mind. It seemed that the name of this martial art was not what Huo Yuanbai saw, but appeared in his mind for some unknown reason.
After looking for a while, Long Yu finally saw some changes. The unfamiliar characters on the bamboo slip suddenly turned into pictures in his mind, and he was able to understand their meaning.
“It’s amazing.”
Long Yu couldn't help but sigh, the bamboo slips recording the Great Wilderness-level martial arts were indeed unique. They didn't teach people to practice this martial art through words, but used words to influence people's hearts, allowing Long Yu to understand the meaning of these words.
In this way, no matter how long it has been circulated, even if a martial artist obtains it in the future, he will be able to understand what is recorded in it.
Long Yu felt the pattern reflected in his mind by the bamboo slip, and soon he roughly understood the method of practicing Ancient Shadow Killing. However, keeping in mind what Huo Yuanbai said, he did not try it rashly.
After all, this is an extremely dangerous thing. Even if Long Yu has a trump card, who knows if he can deal with the danger hidden in this martial art
If it doesn't work, then it will be all over. Long Yu will not take such a big risk, mainly because there is no need for it.
"It's a pity that it's incomplete..."
Long Yu felt quite regretful and was about to leave the bamboo slip.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a familiar power in his chest, which suddenly surged into his mind.
"It's the ancient consciousness!"
Long Yu's face changed drastically. He felt that the power that surged into his mind was actually the ancient consciousness from the Nine Nether Dragon!
Could it be that this ancient consciousness wants to compete with him for control of the body once again
But then Long Yu discovered that this was not the case.
When this ancient consciousness was transmitted into Long Yu's mind, Long Yu's observation of the ancient shadow-killing martial arts suddenly became clearer, and a series of texts that did not appear on the bamboo slips emerged from Long Yu's mind.
"Completed?"
Long Yu was stunned for a moment. The ancient consciousness hidden in the Void Dragon Blade actually completed the missing part of the Ancient Shadow Kill!
This is truly an incredibly magical discovery. After observing the complete version of Ancient Shadow Kill, Long Yu finally discovered that there is an explanation in the notes for practicing this martial arts technique.
To practice this move, one needs to have extremely strong psychological quality and willpower, as well as special conditions.
Because after practicing this move, an invisible turbid air will surround the whole person. When there are enough turbid air, it will affect the person's spirit, and it is not impossible for the person to die suddenly.
"This is the truth behind the deaths of General Huo's two friends."
Long Yu's mind moved. In the cultivation notes completed by the ancient consciousness, it was also explained how to restrain the generation of this turbid air.
The best method is to be able to comprehend a certain kind of divine power that specifically absorbs power, and it must be divine power, not even the power of laws.
Secondly, if one could find some relatively cool holy places that could cleanse the foul air from the body, there would be no problem in practicing this technique. However, such holy places were not so easy to find.
"The Rainbow Divine Scripture should be able to absorb this kind of turbid air, right?"
Long Yu's eyes lit up. Wasn't this tailor-made for him
After receiving the affirmative answer from the ancient consciousness, Long Yu suddenly became excited. Great Wilderness-level martial arts are not something that can be obtained everywhere.
Most importantly, he also discovered that the ancient consciousness hidden in the Void Dragon Blade actually had the magical function of completing martial arts!
Although it was a surprise to him, it was certainly great.
Soon, his mind left the bamboo slip, and he raised his head and smiled at Huo Yuanbai: "Thank you for sharing, General."
"You're welcome. You can practice with me for a while. Once you have successfully comprehended the Demon Nightmare Killing Technique, we will go out and find some martial artists from Guixie County to kill."
Huo Yuanbai smiled and said, "Once Zou Xiongliang dies, his father who is still in Shura Valley will definitely send someone to deal with it, but that will be several days later. You can use this time to practice."
"Um."
Long Yu nodded.
He knew what Huo Yuanbai meant. He didn't want him to meet the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, otherwise the other party would probably kill him as soon as they met.
There are still more than two months left here. It would be best if he could go out and kill some Guixie County martial artists, or get important intelligence, or kill important figures in Guixie County. In this way, Long Yu would have made great contributions. With the protection of Prince Shura, even the deputy commander of the imperial guards would not dare to touch him, either openly or secretly!
Huo Yuanbai didn't know that what Long Yu wanted to practice and comprehend was the Ancient Shadow Killing move, but he would probably find out soon.
Although the Demonic Nightmare Killing Technique was simplified from the Ancient Shadow Killing Technique, there was still a huge difference between the two. Huo Yuanbai, who had already acquired these two martial arts skills, could of course tell the difference at a glance.
