Shi Hao thought that although he had done some things again, it was really not "redundant" and he even wanted to do it again.
Ye Ziyin took him and floated above the big red lotus.
Ye Ziyin said: "Although the sword is the kingly way, there are always many special situations when traveling in the martial arts world. Whether it is due to a small space or for various reasons, you need to rely on the skill of moving to quickly resolve the battle."
"At this time, close combat fist and kick techniques, or grappling techniques to control acupuncture points and cut pulses become extremely important. You can use them, but you must know how to do it. Moreover, an inch longer is an inch stronger, an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous. There are also some schools in the martial arts world that specialize in taking strange and dangerous paths, using daggers or short blades, close combat, and close-range assassinations."
"If you don't have any tricks in this regard, you will most likely be killed unexpectedly, or even be outwitted by a weaker close combat expert and die in vain."
Shi Hao couldn't help but nodded. Just as Sister Ziyin said, this kind of skills can be done without, but one must know them.
The world is dangerous and full of strange people. No one knows when they will encounter such a situation.
You only have one life, so don't regret not practicing earlier when you are about to die.
Ye Ziyin said, "I have two sets of martial arts here. One is the Seven Techniques to Capture a Dragon. It's called catching a dragon, but it's actually specially designed to deal with enemies who are as slippery as mud. It taps the meridians and acupuncture points, adapts to changes, and uses illusions to counter illusions. In addition to the body movements in a small space, it also involves illusions to lure the enemy and capture the enemy. Even if the opponent is as fierce as a dragon or a tiger, once you catch him, he will be unable to move."
"The other set is called Seven Illusory Body Strikes, which is a means of killing. It relies on the flow of energy. When necessary, every part of the body can be transformed into a weapon to kill the enemy. This is a close combat method under extreme disadvantage. If you don't injure or kill the enemy, you will be seriously injured or killed by the enemy. Once it is used, it is basically a life-and-death situation."
At that moment, Ye Ziyin began to teach him the Seven Dragon Capture Techniques and the Seven Illusionary Body Strikes.
These two sets, however, are both close combat techniques. Ye Ziyin demonstrated them personally and taught them step by step. In the process, skin contact and friction were inevitable, which was a lot of fun and made people reluctant to leave.
Chapter 274: The Crazy Demon and the Dongting Rebellion
The Seven Dragon Capturing Techniques and Seven Illusionary Strikes that Ye Ziyin taught him were indeed very ingenious.
However, the teaching process was rather erotic. For example, the Seven Techniques of Capturing the Dragon was a type of catching technique. After Ye Ziyin had taught him, she asked him to practice on herself.
Shi Hao would capture and hold her from time to time, which was quite exciting.
As for the Seven Phantom Strikes, they are killing moves used in physical combat, and are truly "close combat" tactics.
Although Sister Ziyin said that this was a tactic used when two people met on a narrow road and faced a life-and-death situation, weren't they still not at that stage
Therefore, the process of skin contact and collision became another kind of stimulation.
"This move is not among the Seven Phantom Body Strikes!" When Ye Ziyin asked him to practice, he tied her hands behind her back. She found that he did not follow the move to hit her side acupoints with his elbows, but instead hit her lower abdomen towards her back. She said unhappily.
"Surprise, surprise!" Shi Hao realized that his moves were wrong and quickly let her go.
With that posture just now, I always felt that the next step would be to rush forward.
Here, I learned close combat skills from Ye Ziyin for a long time and practiced constantly.
After she had basically mastered it, she discussed many martial arts theories with her.
Although Shi Hao has reached the fifth rank at this moment, he still doesn't know much about the principles of martial arts. After all, with the guidance of these two famous teachers, he only needs to follow the skills and martial arts they teach and advance.
But precisely because he had already reached the fifth level, he must have a deeper understanding of his own, otherwise it would be difficult for him to become a "master".
After staying here for six hours, he turned to Su Xi.
Under Su Xi's guidance, he began to practice the Great Sun Demonic Technique.
Afterwards, he selected a set of "Heavenly Madness Absolute Blade" from the Night Demon Codex that could be used in conjunction with the Great Sun Demonic Technique and practiced it repeatedly.
This crazy and deadly knife was quite powerful and domineering.
—The sword was swung out, like a mighty army, making the earth dark and the sky dim. If the previous purple vortex sword technique focused on "restraining", then this Tian Kuang Juesha sword focused on "releasing".
Although the Heavenly Madness Absolute Evil Blade is recorded in the Night Charm Demonic Codex, not many girls in the Evil Lotus Sect practice it, especially those from the "Fantasy Color" and "Moon Goddess" series, who do not like this kind of aggressive swordsmanship and are unwilling to practice it.
Shi Hao himself also felt that this kind of swordsmanship was more suitable for a mighty and extraordinary man!
Unfortunately, when facing his master's wife, even though he used his extraordinary sword skills to the fullest, he was still knocked away in just a few moves.
It’s still a long way off!
After helping him practice the Heavenly Madness Absolute Blade, Su Xi said, "You should already know the materials needed for the next level of the Demonic Origin Ritual, right?"
Shi Hao sighed: "I have already read the magic book."
The magic ritual to enter the fourth level is "beheading in broad daylight and eradicating the roots."
To be precise, an entire family is beheaded in broad daylight, with at least a hundred onlookers, and they are not allowed to leave, and the magic source is upgraded in full view of everyone.
The most crucial point is that the family that was beheaded and exterminated had no grudges against him in the past or in recent times, and they could not even make preparations in advance.
In addition, the family that was exterminated had to have at least one person of the middle rank or above, plus two people of the lower rank or above.
There is no need to prepare any other materials for the upgrade ceremony. Apart from silently reciting the spell, there is nothing else to do. Once it starts, it will take about half a quarter of an hour.
Others cannot feel the process of the ceremony. But even so, it is still a very troublesome thing.
The main problem is that he cannot prepare in advance, which is quite a headache. It means that he cannot spend time selecting the target of "annihilating the whole family".
Because of the special nature of this ceremony, there was no need to worry about being disturbed, but after killing the whole family, they could not leave for at least half an hour. Because they could not prepare in advance, it was difficult to find out the family's financial situation in advance.
Who knows if there will be other masters coming to avenge this family in half an hour? After all, in a complete family, there is one middle-grade and two low-grade ones. Even if some relatives or friends are also martial arts masters, it is normal.
This upgrade ceremony is truly "something you can only encounter but not seek", and there is no way to prepare for it.
All I can say is that these demonic rituals are more bizarre and dangerous than the last.
Just thinking about it makes one feel like his head is going to explode.
With some remaining time, Shi Hao strolled around Yuanshi Cave Heaven.
Afterwards, with the help of the two ladies, he took little Feicui and left Yuanshi Cave Heaven.
As for Bai Lan, let it stay here and absorb vital energy.
He also wanted it to cultivate to the point where it could "fly on the clouds" as soon as possible.
Back to Dongting Lake, flying under the bright moonlight,
When they arrived at Mirror Flower Lake, the Black Lotus Realm had already taken over the lake.
Shi Hao used the Evil Shadow Disguise Technique to change his appearance and stepped in. Long Niu and She Ji came out to greet him.
Snake Princess said: "Young Master, there are three people who would like you to meet them."
Shi Hao maintained his cool appearance after his disguise and nodded with his hands behind his back.
After a while, Snake Princess led three men in. These three men were all strong men who practiced external skills, with burly bodies and muscular bodies.
The three of them bowed at the same time, "We, Li Luanshan, Xiao Luancheng, and Zhu Luanjiang, greet the young master!"
Snake Princess introduced: "These three people are all from Wuling. In the past, they often robbed the rich and helped the poor in Wuling, and were wanted by the Six Gates. The Six Gates were evil and violent, and almost wiped out the three families. However, my sect rescued their families and taught them the advanced outer sect martial arts."
"Now, the three of them are all sixth-rank, occupying the area around Ruanjiang River and constantly harassing the barbarian army. The Six Gates called them the 'Three Rebellions of Wuling', so they simply changed their names and called themselves Luanshan, Luancheng, and Luanjiang respectively."
"Their subordinates have already been walking around Dongting Lake, and will follow the young master to kill officials and start an uprising tomorrow. The leader of the sect is inside Jingzhou, and has made other arrangements, waiting for the young master. These three are all good men. Although they are on the periphery of our sect, their main reason is to repay their gratitude. Before joining our sect, they have declared that they will never oppress the people or harm the loyal and righteous."
Shi Hao helped the three Wuling rebels to stand up and said happily: "Please stand up, all of you. I am Hao Xinghua. I am joining you in the rebellion today, not for power, not for fame or gain. It is just because the Barbarian Court has been causing trouble for three hundred years, and the people are miserable and unable to live. We were born between heaven and earth, and in this chaotic world, if we don't do something for the people of the world, we will not be at peace."
Li Luanshan, Xiao Luancheng and Zhu Luanjiang were all shocked. Although Snake Queen brought them to see the young master, they did not know the young master's specific identity before that.
Hearing the young master introduce himself, the three of them were all moved.
If we say that the "Mad Blade Hero" Hao Xinghua was originally only slightly famous in the Daxing City area, it was only because he was included in the blacklist that some people in other places knew him.
Now, the name of "Mad Blade Demon Knight" is probably known to everyone in the martial arts world.
The "Infant Goddess" Mingyueshu and the fairy Yuncaiyao from Taisu Fairy Pavilion both confirmed that when they killed Lie Zunyi in the Overlord's underground palace that day, they had received help from a young man. Afterwards, someone deduced from the appearance they gave that this man was the "Mad Knife Evil Knight".
This man had participated in the Dark Thunder Society's battle to seize the stone at Luanqi Mountain, broke through numerous checkpoints to deliver medicine to the righteous army at Changbai Mountain, and killed "Flying Scorpion Knife" and "Underworld Iron Bow". Everything he did was that of a chivalrous man.
For the Central Plains martial arts world, killing Lie Zunyi was a great cause. Although the main attackers were Nu Nuying and Yun Caiyao, his sudden strike of the sword laid the foundation for victory.
Some people deduced that he might be the mysterious "young master" of the Evil Lotus Sect, and so the word "Demon Hero" spread like wildfire.
Although there were rumors before, they could not be confirmed. At this moment, the three rebels in Wuling knew that the person in front of them was indeed the "Mad Blade Demon Knight", and they could not help but bow down again: "We are willing to follow the Demon Knight to start an uprising and fight against the barbarians, and we will go through fire and water without hesitation."
The three of them are all righteous men. The Black Lotus Realm has been very kind to them. If it weren't for the Black Lotus Realm, their families would have been destroyed.
The mountain strongholds built in the Ruanjiang area were only able to grow and develop with the secret support of the Black Lotus Realm. Their families and careers were all controlled by the Black Lotus Realm, and they dared not disobey.
Although the Black Lotus Realm has not allowed them to do anything harmful so far, they still worry in their hearts that they will be used by the Demon Sect.
At this moment, since I know that the person in front of me is a hero who participated in killing the Emperor of Man Ting, why would I still have doubts
Shi Hao helped them up again, and then discussed with them about tomorrow's riot...
At noon on September 16, in this chaotic world, a new army of volunteers emerged to fight against the barbarians.
Under the constant oppression of officials and gentry, refugees with no way to survive gathered together and cried out against the brutality of officials and gentry.
When the government heard the news, they sent officials, civilians and the Six Gates' lackeys to suppress the rebellion. Hao Xinghua, the "Mad Blade Demon Knight" who was passing by, could not bear to see this and was filled with righteous indignation. He killed the leading barbarian general on the spot and defeated the barbarian army together with the warriors who rushed over.
A riot that swept across the 800-mile Dongting Lake started from this, and the surrounding counties and towns responded one after another.
The addition of the "Three Rebellions of Wuling" triggered a frenzy in the surrounding mountain strongholds. Unknowingly, the momentum grew stronger and stronger, and in just one day, it attracted tens of thousands of people.
The people of the world have suffered from the barbaric court for a long time.
He punished the barbarians and the evil gentry, opened warehouses everywhere to distribute grain, and then headed straight for Jingzhou.
In Jingzhou city, the Black Lotus Realm had been planned for a long time. Countless warriors emerged overnight, responding to the call of "Mad Blade Demon Knight" and following suit to kill officials and rebel.
Under this trend, a large number of martial artists who had nothing to do with the Black Lotus Realm also came to join.
The death of Emperor Lie Zunyi of the Barbarian Court had already made the Barbarian army panic-stricken. The Chinese martial arts world and the people were even more rebellious. What they lacked was a leader.
The name "Mad Blade Demon Knight" became popular because of his assistance in killing Lie Zunyi.
The heroes came in droves, and they marched towards Jingzhou. There was chaos in Jingzhou City, and many officials were beheaded by the anti-barbarian warriors who emerged like mushrooms after rain. Under this wave of enthusiasm, the people spontaneously organized themselves to resist the barbarian army.
On the night of September 17, the city gates were opened, and the heroes followed the "Mad Blade Demon Knight" into the city.
On September 18, the remaining barbarian troops, who had no intention of fighting, withdrew from Jingzhou, and the city of Jingzhou was captured!
Chapter 275: A Boy Is Not Enough
Mo Yuzi is one of the "Twelve Quanzhen" of Chongxian Sect. He has the strength of the fifth rank, has mastered the Fire Phoenix Pill Technique, and has always been fascinated by the art of war.
At this moment, he stepped into the Hengshan Qingyu Altar and entered the meeting hall.
Hengshan Mountain is located in the south of Dongting Lake. One of the main immortal gates besides the Chongxianmen "Immortal Mountain" is located here.
Mo Yuzi was tall and thin, wearing a Qinghe Taoist robe, and looked around.
Sitting on the main throne in the hall was none other than Wei Yuxin, one of the eight great martial immortals, known as the "Liuguang Immortal Book".
The person standing to the side is Hong Guang Zhenren, who is also one of the Twelve Quanzhen. Although he belongs to the Taoist sect, he is also proficient in external martial arts. He has a burly build, bright eyes, and thick calluses on his forehead, which are the result of practicing Iron Head Kung Fu when he was a child.
As a member of the orthodox Taoist sect, it is unusual for him to practice external skills such as Iron Head Kung Fu.
There were several other people nearby, they were the deacons holding important positions in the Qingyun Altar, as well as the abbots of the surrounding branch temples, who all responded to the call and rushed over to discuss important matters.
"Liuguang Immortal Book" Wei Yuxin is dressed in white, holding a jade slip in his hand, with an immortal look. At first glance, he looks like an immortal who has descended to earth.
"Junior Brother Mo Yu, you've arrived just in time!" Wei Yuxin looked at Mo Yuzi who had entered the hall, "I'm sure you've heard about the mad swordsman Hao Xinghua's riot in Dongting Lake and his attack on Jingzhou. Everyone is talking about this now. What do you think about this?"
Mo Yuzi bowed and said, "Brother! That's why I came a little late. I have been waiting for further news at the foot of the mountain. Now I know for sure that Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of the Mad Blade Demon Hero."
Everyone was moved.
Master Hongguang snorted angrily: "Jingzhou is a big city, how could it fall so quickly?"
Mo Yuzi said: "Although Jingzhou is a big and strong city, the south is in chaos and the court can no longer take care of it. After Sheng Menghui attached himself to the court, he suppressed the large group of troops in Jingzhou and rushed to the east to put out the fire and assist in attacking the Dragon and Phoenix Society. There are not many troops left to garrison Jingzhou."
"Besides, this riot has been planned for a long time. There is a woman named Feng Zhi who responded in the city. A large number of warriors have already sneaked into Jingzhou. The various sects of the lower nine classes have either been instigated or eliminated in advance. When the Crazy Blade Demon Hero arrived outside, he was followed by a large number of people inside."
"The so-called Feng Zhi is clearly the Black Lotus Realm master of the Evil Lotus Sect, Xuan Feng Huan Zhi. This woman is ambitious and constantly develops her power in the underworld. During the battle of Overlord's Underground Palace, she took the opportunity to recruit countless underworld masters. Her own power also increased greatly, and she advanced to the fourth level."
"With her secret plot, and the fact that the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly reduced due to the death of the retired emperor, Jingzhou was too far away from the hinterland, and the soldiers in the city were all from the north, and they had no intention of fighting. It was natural that Jingzhou fell so quickly."
Everyone was originally shocked that a big city like Jingzhou could be lost so easily. But after listening to his analysis, they felt that it would be strange if it was not lost.
Wei Yuxin frowned: "So this Hao Xinghua is indeed the mysterious 'young master' of the Evil Lotus Sect. I heard that this person was originally called the Crazy Blade Evil Hero. When he was listed on the blacklist, he was only a seventh-rank. How could he be so amazing?"
Mo Yuzi said: "The Demon Sect has always been secretive and strange, and it is difficult for the outside world to measure it. The strength he exposed to the public before does not mean anything."
Taoist Hongguang said murderously: "Jingzhou was originally a place we were determined to capture, and we had already agreed with the government that they would withdraw from Jingzhou and we would take over, but we didn't expect that guy to get there first. If we don't get rid of him, there will be trouble in the future."
Wei Yuxin looked at Mo Yuzi and said, "Brother Mo Yu, you have always had many plans. In your opinion, what should we do now?"
Mo Yuzi resolutely said: "Completely break away from the imperial court, raise an army, attack Yuezhou, and openly negotiate with Hao Xinghua to fight against the barbarians together, or even support each other, but use Yuezhou to control Changhe and advance to Xiangzhou. In this way, we can completely curb the development of Hao Xinghua, and then gather the power of the immortal sects to quickly destroy it, and even let the headmaster personally take action in the name of fighting against the demon sect."
There was a Taoist priest next to him, who was the abbot of Xuyun Temple, Taoist Jinyu.
Taoist Jin Yu said: "Yuezhou and Xiangzhou are still in the hands of the imperial court. The intention of the Immortal Sect is to continue to maintain a certain cooperative relationship with the imperial court and not to be an enemy of the imperial court for the time being. When the imperial court and the various rebel armies fight to the death, we will take advantage of the situation."
