With such a solid foundation and such martial arts skills, this young man would definitely not be an unknown person in the martial arts world.
But no one could tell where he came from!
Swoosh! A flash of knife light flashed across the sky, Qiu Xiaolong's head flew up, rolled a few times in the air, and then fell to the stone ground with a snap, and continued to roll.
The young man laughed loudly towards the sky, and his laughter was like a rolling flame rushing out from the top of the mountain, and the heat of the explosion spread in all directions.
Everyone in Dengzhou City felt the joy that soared into the sky.
Amidst loud laughter, the young man put the sword back into his waist and walked away in a cool manner.
Behind him, Qiu Xiaolong's head was pressed against the ground, his blank eyes looking towards the gradually darkening sky.
Everyone saw that the five heads lined up in front of the big chair had all turned into skulls, and the flesh and blood on the heads of the family of five had all disappeared.
Five fleshless white skulls stood side by side facing the street, looking eerie and strange, enough to make one's scalp tingle.
The sun sets, shadows spread, the wind howls, and the cold invades.
Their bodies and minds were chilled—
—
When Shi Hao arrived at the city gate, it was already closed.
If it were a peaceful day, the city gates would not have been closed so early, but these days were clearly not peaceful.
He didn't care about anything else and climbed up to the top of the city wall directly from the steps next to him.
The soldiers stationed here, holding spears, did not dare to stop him.
The young man in front of them was murderous, yet also had a majestic and tall bearing that made them dare not act rashly.
After climbing up to the top of the city wall, Shi Hao jumped out of the city, his clothes fluttering in the air, leaving a long trail in the air, and landed on the other side of the moat outside the city.
You must know that this is a world of martial arts. Even though Dengzhou is not a big city, its city wall is seven meters high.
He jumped out, landed on the ground, and floated away with laughter.
The grass in the mountains is beginning to show some green.
It was still cold late at night.
Shi Hao pondered in his heart: "'Blood Oath Demon Fate'? What is that?"
Sounds like some kind of demonic ritual.
There are various rituals of the Demon Sect, and the sacrifices required are often bloody and cruel. Shi Hao doesn't care about other rituals except those necessary for his own advancement.
Therefore, he really didn't know what this "Blood Oath Demonic Fate" was.
As for the "real name" that the female devil told him, he remembered it in his heart but could not say it out loud.
It was like it had broken directly into his memory and been engraved.
This was the first time that the female devil was so willing to give him the magic source he needed to advance to the fourth level.
Generally speaking, the Yin Demon will delay the ceremony as much as possible until it can no longer be delayed.
They will use this opportunity to continue to seduce and lure.
If that female devil wanted to harm him, as long as she continued to delay, it would be difficult for him to guarantee that he would be able to hold off Qiu Xiaolong and last until the end of the ceremony.
She actually handed the magic source to him in advance and ended the ceremony... Would the Yin Demon be so kind
No matter what, Shi Hao still didn't trust her. He planned to ask his master's wife what this "blood oath demonic fate" was the next time he saw her.
Logically speaking, the ceremony for advancing his "Fantasy Color" magic technique has already ended, and there is no need for him to meet this female demon again.
During this last contact, she left so quickly, without taking advantage of the crisis caused by Qiu Xiaolong's upgrade ceremony to his body. Instead, she seemed to be trying to be friendly to him.
In the dark night, we climbed over two mountains until we arrived at a Taoist temple.
This Taoist temple enshrines the Taoist Emperor Zhenwu. Among the gods worshipped by Taoism, Zhenwu was initially just one of the Four Saints of the North Pole. In recent years, his status as a god among the people has become increasingly higher.
Two women floated out and said in unison: "Young Master!"
It was Yueyaotai and Shalingshan. Shalingshan waved her fan and said with a smile: "Congratulations, young master, for your successful advancement!"
Shi Hao laughed at himself and said, "This ceremony is really troublesome. Speaking of which, how did you discuss these messed up ceremonies with the demons in the Demon Realm in the beginning?"
Yueyaotai said: "Young Master, the immortal materials and medicine cauldron have been placed inside."
Shi Hao nodded and looked back at the sky. It was getting dark very quickly. The sky was covered with dark clouds tonight, and the moon and stars were basically invisible.
Dengzhou City cannot be seen from here because of a mountain. Even if it can be seen, it will probably be dark.
He smiled and said, "You guys stay here for me. I'll go make the elixir first. Um... I guess she'll be here soon."
Yueyaotai and Shalingshan said in unison: "Yes! Young Master!"
Shi Hao floated into the alchemy room in the Taoist temple. There was a candlestick in the corner of the wall, and the candlelight emitted a warm glow.
—A bronze cauldron, and on the wooden table beside it, four kinds of immortal materials, namely, Mysterious Lime Wonder Water, Red Frost Holy Core, Nine Earths Jade Peach, and Double Realm Wonder Lotus, as well as other auxiliary medicinal materials, were placed.
Shi Hao poured the three liang of mysterious water into the furnace, put in some medicinal materials, and covered it with a lid.
Immediately afterwards, he injected the Samadhi Fire into the hole below.
He kept adjusting the temperature in the furnace.
The mysterious water was tumbling in the furnace again. It was clearly only three ounces of water, but it actually rolled out half of the furnace's worth of water.
There was a medicinal aroma slowly emanating from the furnace.
Shi Hao slowly reduced the heat, and soon the billowing water splashes slowly shrank and dropped to one-third of the water level in the furnace.
He opened the stove lid, put the Red Frost Holy Core in, and then quickly put the lid back on.
The sacred red frost core melted in the fleeting water vapor.
Shi Hao adjusted the temperature carefully and kept the timing steady.
The Red Frost Holy Core was boiled in the water vapor transformed from the Xuanli Wonderful Water for half an hour.
When I opened the stove lid, I saw red water vapor, and above the water vapor, there was a layer of ice that had strangely formed.
The Red Frost Holy Core itself carries a frosty aura. Even though the fire at the bottom of the furnace was burning, the frosty aura did not dissipate. Instead, a layer of ice formed above the water vapor.
Shi Hao placed the Twin Realms Wonderful Lotus on the thin layer of ice. He saw that the root of the Twin Realms Wonderful Lotus was actually drilling under the ice.
Soon, all the roots were below and the lotus was above the ice.
The petals bloomed, and Shi Hao placed the Nine-Earth Green Peach into the lotus.
The other medicinal materials were also placed on the ice layer around the petals, and the stove lid was replaced.
All that remains is to carefully control the heat.
Under the ice layer, the medicinal power of the Red Frost Holy Core was integrated into the Xuanli Magic Water and then absorbed by the roots of the Double Realm Magic Lotus.
The water vapor, carrying medicinal power, was transported into the petals of the strange lotus, and the petals wrapped around and tightly wrapped the Nine-Earth Green Peach inside.
When the medicinal power of the Red Frost Holy Core was completely absorbed, the thin layer of ice could no longer last and shattered into pieces, turning into water vapor.
The water vapor evaporated, and the lotus roots of the Red Frost Holy Core were all burned.
Only the petals tightly wrapped around the Nine-Earth Green Peach remained, tumbling continuously under the increasing firepower.
However, the firepower gradually turned down...
Yueyaotai and Shalingshan were guarding outside. The night gradually became darker and the cold wind blew into the Taoist temple.
The wind-killing lantern hanging high up was not affected by the cold wind and still emitted a cold light.
Bang! The gate of the temple opened, and the howling cold wind poured in further.
Yueyaotai and Shalingshan were staring at the gate.
I saw three figures staggering in under the dim light.
A man in the middle flashed in in an instant and stood still: "We are ordered to come to welcome the young master of the Evil Lotus Sect and have a talk with our master."
Chapter 417 The Witch in the Painting: Everything is in the Painting!
The man in the middle was about fifty years old, wearing a large silver fur coat, with a stocky build, short stature, and bright eyes.
On the left is an old man, very old, wearing a white robe, with white hair, a chicken skin on his face, and carrying a magic knife.
The person on the right is the tallest of the three. He is a middle-aged man in his thirties with a narrow face, a high forehead, and a gloomy expression.
Yue Yaotai sneered and said, "I was wondering who they were. Turns out they were Ding Mocan's three lackeys."
Although he spoke with disdain, he was secretly chilled in his heart.
In fact, this was just the first time she met these three people.
But like a person's name and a tree's shadow, you don't need to have seen some people; when they appear, you already know it's them.
This is the world of martial arts!
The man in the middle, wearing a silver fur coat, is called Mieshen Wusan, which is actually a demonic name similar to “Xuanfeng Huanzhi”.
As for his real name, I'm afraid even he himself can't remember it, let alone others.
This person is the successor of the Dark Sealing Sect of the Demon Sect. In the Demon Sect, the Dark Sealing Sect is basically a single lineage, but each generation of successors are quite famous, and basically each generation of successors can cultivate to the fourth level.
It is by no means easy to cultivate to the highest level.
And producing fourth-grade products from generation to generation is actually not easy.
The white-haired old man was Cui Wuchang, the "Heartless Demonic Blade".
Cui Wuchang is also a long-established master in the martial arts world. He has completely given up the hope of advancing to the upper level and has placed his focus on training his disciples.
Unfortunately, his apprentice Ying Ling, known as the "Jingqing Knife", was killed by Shi Tuxiong in an inexplicable conflict.
The tall and thin man on the right is "Tianluo Demon Bone" Zhao Chongfeng.
Although Zhao Chongfeng's name contains the word "demon", he is not actually from the demon sect. Although he is tall and thin, he practices the outer sect skills.
However, people who practice external skills are usually strong and sturdy, and they tend to grow sideways.
However, he grew taller and taller, and even after he reached adulthood, his entire skeleton was still growing upwards.
Ding Mocan had four generals under his command, and at this moment, three of them had arrived.
The sudden arrival of these three generals seemed to indicate that they had bad intentions.
More importantly, they were able to chase us here.
It seems that Dengzhou has actually been infiltrated by Ding Mocan's forces a long time ago.
Mie Shen Wu San said in a deep voice: "My master heard that your young master is here, so he asked us to come and greet you. This is a good intention. Please don't refuse it."
Sha Ling fanned herself and smiled, "If my young master doesn't go, then what?"
Cui Wuchang hunched over with his hands behind his back and sneered, "Since the three of us are here, it is not up to you to decide whether to go or not."
Sha Lingshan smiled and said, "So, on the surface it's an invitation, but in reality it's a kidnapping?"
Mie Shen Wu San said calmly: "Miss Sha, you are joking. How could we be so disrespectful? We sincerely invite you, and naturally hope that you will not refuse."
Zhao Chongfeng, the "Tianluo Demon Bone", snorted, "We are so sincere, but your young master is hiding in the temple without even showing his face. Isn't that too neglectful?"
Yueyaotai said coldly: "My young master is resting. If you have anything to say, please come back tomorrow."
Zhao Chongfeng sneered and said, "This Zhenwu Temple doesn't seem to belong to your Xielian Sect." His figure flashed, and like a ghost, he was about to rush inside.
A beautiful figure flashed before his eyes. Zhao Chongfeng snorted disdainfully, and his energy exploded.
There was a loud bang and both of them were shaken.
Zhao Chongfeng's expression changed slightly... The one blocking him was Sha Ling Shan.
Sha Ling fanned herself and said, "Oh, it seems like you guys are really rude. Are you going to turn against each other no matter what?"
Mieshen Wusan and Cui Wuchang were also moved.
They didn't expect that the Sha Ling fan could actually withstand Zhao Chongfeng's Tian Luo evil power at its foundation.
According to their intelligence, it would not take too long for the three leaders of the Evil Lotus Sect to advance to the fourth level.
Although the Evil Lotus Sect has a wide variety of demonic martial arts and many strange and bizarre techniques, it is ultimately difficult to quickly master the basics.
The three of them had been promoted to the fourth level for a long time. Zhao Chongfeng had practiced external skills and his energy was unparalleled. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Sha Lingshan, who had only been promoted for two or three months, to withstand it.
