MTL - Demon Slayer Starts From the Proficiency Panel-Chapter 68 [068] Exploring the secrets at night, shocked the will of martial arts

  Chapter 68 [068] Exploring the secrets at night, revealing the will of martial arts

   In the dead of night, the entire Azure Dragon Society fell into silence.

   Except for the regular patrols by the gang members of the Blue Dragon Society, no other people moved around in the middle of the night.

   When it was already ugly, Ning Xiu quietly handed over the Thunder Hammer to Jin Rou for safekeeping. This thing is too big and weighs far more than a normal weapon, but it is not suitable for him to carry with him at night to explore Qinglong.

  Otherwise, once someone finds out, it will be exposed on the spot.

   Holding the corpse knife, he came to the meeting point that he had made an appointment with Pan Zhao. There was no grey-haired old man here, only a thin middle-aged man in night clothes was standing.

   "You're here." The young man greeted Ning Xiu immediately when he saw Ning Xiu appear.

   "Pan Zhao?"

   "It's me. I disguised it before, but now it's my true appearance." Pan Zhao smiled.

  Ning Xiu frowned: "Please show me your token again."

   "It's easy to say." Pan Zhao directly took out his bronze leopard identity token from his arms and handed it to Ning Xiu: "It's a good habit to be so cautious when going out."

After Ning Xiu checked the token and returned it, Pan Zhao brought a package and handed it to him: "You change into this outfit and let's go again. Although ugly is the time when people are the most tired, the concealment still has to be taken into account. Just a moment."

  Ning Xiu took the package and opened it, and saw that it contained a set of clothes worn by the Qinglong Association and a black mask. Just fine for camouflage.

   "I just took it out from the warehouse of the Azure Dragon Society, so that you can disguise it. If it is discovered by then, it will not directly reveal your identity." Pan Zhao said.

   "Thank you." Ning Xiu immediately put on his clothes, that is, he put his clothes on the outside of his original clothes, so that he could easily take them off and discard them.

"I have already roughly investigated the topographical structure of the Qinglong Association's residence. Entering from the mountain gate road is where the gathering square and the ring are located, and further inside are the disciples' living quarters, dining halls, sundries, warehouses and other places. All areas belong to the outside of the Qinglong Club, and there are no problems.

The real secret should be located inside the Azure Dragon Society. There is a high wall between the inside and the outside. There is only one entrance and exit in the whole section. Those who are not inside the Azure Dragon Society cannot enter. Our goal tonight is to go there. Take a look behind the wall. "Pan Zhao said.

   "Understood." Ning Xiu nodded.

Now that the plan has been made clear, there is no need to say any more. The two of them walked one after the other and quickly walked through the night, bypassing the patrols of several Qinglong Guild gang members, and arrived at the block that Pan Zhao mentioned. where the high wall is.

To say that it is a high wall is actually a bit modest. This wall stretches for more than several miles, with no doors and no windows. It is more than two feet high. There are a lot of sharp thorns and iron thorns on the top of the wall. Not a small hassle.

  If it’s a little less skillful, I’m afraid it will be a little bit more colorful.

"Climbing the wall and crossing the wall is not the most difficult thing. There should be people from the Blue Dragon Society guarding the wall. If you are found when you climb the wall, you will be exposed on the spot. Remember to be careful. When you cross the wall, make sure there is no problem before going over. , if you have any questions, just return it first, don't worry too much." Pan Zhao reminded.

  Ning Xiu nodded, indicating that he understood.

   looked around, and after confirming that nothing was out of the ordinary, Pan Zhao immediately set an example and prepared to show Ning Xiu a sample.

   I saw him walking lightly on the wall like a gecko, and he was on the wall in an instant. This sensitive energy was afraid that a real gecko would not dare to compare.

   If Ning Xiu guessed correctly, the Qinggong that Pan Zhao learned should be the very famous Gecko Walking on the Wall in Qinggong!

   After clinging to the top of the wall, Pan Zhao did not leave directly, but observed for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem, he reached out and waved to Ning Xiu below, indicating that he could act.

   In the next breath, Pan Zhao had already climbed over the wall and disappeared from Ning Xiu's sight.

  Since this is the case, then Ning Xiu will not delay. He takes seven steps to catch the cicadas one after another, his body and steps are extremely elegant, and in the blink of an eye, he has passed the high wall and stopped silently behind Pan Zhao.

   But what he saw in front of him made Ning Xiu's eyes widen. He never imagined that there would be such a scene behind this high wall.

  Desolate, dead, all are cobweb-like cracked ground, densely packed, not an inch is complete.

  Many of the very finely constructed buildings are either in pieces, or with sunken roofs and collapsed walls, none of which are in good condition.

   On the ground and the surface of each house, there are all kinds of cracked knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, sticks and guns... One can't help but feel that this place was once an ancient battlefield where war broke out.

   "A high wall was purposely built to cover up this area. What secrets are hidden behind the Azure Dragon Society?" Ning Xiu frowned and thought deeply.

   "I don't know how big this place is. For the sake of efficiency, let's split up and come back here after half an hour to meet up and report to each other what we have discovered." Pan Zhao suggested aloud.

"it is good."

   "Then I'll be in charge of the area in this direction." Pan Zhao waved his hand and flew out first, and then his figure quickly disappeared into the dark night.

Seeing this, Ning Xiu walked in the opposite direction from Pan Zhao. However, he did not drive as fast as Pan Zhao, but carefully checked every weapon that was inserted into the ground or wall. .

   These weapons do not carry any evil energy, the material is the most common ore iron, and judging from the gloss of the surface of the weapons, they are still relatively new, and the forging year is estimated to be five years.

  Da!

The moment Ning Xiu stepped into the weapon formation, he immediately felt an invisible pressure covering his whole body. This sense of urgency was as if a powerful warrior was secretly staring at you, and regarded you as his of prey.

   "The strength should not be underestimated." Ning Xiu secretly said, and then continued to go deep.

   At this moment, an iron sword that was originally inserted into the wall suddenly fell off automatically, and then fell to the ground crisply, making a clanging sound.

  Ning Xiu's whole body was instantly tense, and a chilling coldness rushed from his spine all the way to the back of his head.

   There is a big enemy!

Before he could turn his head to look, he saw the iron sword rising into the sky, and a light blue man appeared in the air for no reason. The sword strikes.

   This sword does not have any rules and regulations, only the meaning of fast and ruthless is enough to make the third-rank in the martial arts feel frightened by it.

   The man who drew his sword was thinking of immortality!

   Immediately, the golden bell that protected Ning Xiu's body instantly appeared, blocking the thunderous sword for Ning Xiu.

  The moment the iron sword touched the golden bell, a visible crack appeared at the tip of the sword. The sword itself had already been cracked. After this touch, it was twisted and shattered into a large number of iron pieces and fell to the ground.

   Although this sword is ruthless, it is only an ordinary weapon after all, unable to break through Ning Xiu's body protection supernatural powers.

The moment the    iron sword shattered, the light blue figure of the man disappeared.

   "This place is really weird." Looking back at the broken sword that just landed, Ning Xiu was immediately puzzled.

   According to his judgment, the sword just now should have the power of a full-strength blow of the fourth rank of martial arts. If it were a better quality sword, even if Ning Xiu had a golden bell, it might not be enough to handle it.

Just an ordinary iron sword can explode with such power, and if all the weapons in this place explode at the same time, it is worth it, even the fourth rank of martial arts must be killed in an instant, or the one who died without even **** left. kind.

   Maintaining the body-protecting golden bell and continuing to walk forward, with the sudden unexpected situation just now, Ning Xiu was obviously much more cautious and alert for a while.

However, before he could walk ten steps away, the three iron knives stuck on the ground suddenly trembled at the same time. Under Ning Xiu's gaze, three light blue figures suddenly appeared beside the iron knives, and then they all reached out their hands from the iron knives. The blade was drawn from the ground.

The moment the person and the knife came into contact, Ning Xiu felt a sense of oppression that was far stronger than before. Although they were just three illusory figures, at this moment, in Ning Xiu's eyes, they were holding iron knives. They are three long-established Jianghu swordsmen.

  The knife is ruthless and full of killing intent.

  Chop!

   The three of them slashed out at the same time, and the three wind-blade-shaped sword qi instantly slashed straight towards Ning Xiu's location.

  The ground even cracked three fist-wide cracks because of this, and its power should not be underestimated.

   Ning Xiu, who had noticed in advance, was far more indifferent than before, he picked up an axe on the ground next to him and slashed it with his hand.

   He could see that although these light blue figures made powerful moves, their power would still be limited by the material of the weapons, so that the power of their moves had dissipated ahead of time due to the collapse of the weapons.

   In Ning Xiu's words, it is the transcendent state where even picking flowers and leaves can hurt people, and using branches to defeat divine soldiers.

  The moment the axe slashed the three blade qi, the axe body and the blade qi dissipated in an instant, and Ning Xiu immediately picked up a meteor hammer on the ground and threw it violently.

  I saw the entire meteor hammer swept towards the three figures with extremely fast turning power. When they waved their knives to resist, the iron knives and meteor hammers in their hands both turned into pieces of iron on the spot.

   It can be seen that these weapons inserted on the wall and on the ground have reached the limit of collapse, they cannot withstand too much blow, and they will be scrapped on the spot after a few moves.

   For these various clues, Ning Xiu roughly had some guesses of his own.

   Like ordinary weapons, there is actually a limit to their use. When they are used too many times, there will be signs of breaking, shattering, and cracking. In Ning Xiu’s words, it is the durability value.

   But if you want to scrap a weapon, even the most common weapon, you can't do it without tens of thousands of shots.

   However, in the place where Ning Xiu is now, there are thousands of weapons in front of him, but they are all scrapped items whose internals are almost collapsed and their durability is basically 0.

   It depends on how many years of practice and how long it takes to be able to do this.

   If this step was done by a group of people, Ning Xiu could still accept it in his heart, but if all this was done by one person, it would be very scary.

   This person can be completely described by words such as martial arts, martial arts and demons, which are extremely appropriate.

   As for those pale blue figures who appeared out of thin air and would use weapons to attack themselves, if Ning Xiu guessed correctly, it must be the practitioner who practiced here for many years, thus forming the will of martial arts that appeared and remained.

  What is martial arts will?

   When Ning Xiu was an apprentice in the champion camp, he heard the instructor mention it.

   is about some powerful martial arts experts who will inadvertently leave traces of their practice on all carriers while practicing.

  If others can come into contact with this kind of trace, they can comprehend a lot of experience from it, so as to improve their strength.

   This kind of practice trace that exists on the carrier is called the martial arts will by the warriors.

   There are several martial arts wills left by the top three martial arts warriors in the big business territory:

   For example, the "Sword Soldier Heaven Monument" in Wanjian Mountain, Upside Down Xuanzhou, was written by a first-rank martial arts expert from a military camp.

This man has been calling himself a swordsman since he left the military camp. Few people know his real name. He only practiced swords all his life, and he mastered swordsmanship. , more than twenty-eight years.

   After a certain day, the swordsmen evaporated from the world, leaving only the sword manuals all over the mountain. According to some people, they saw the swordsmen crack the sky marks with a sword, and then disappeared without a trace after walking into the sky marks.

   is like a sword breaking through the void, going to a place unimaginable by mortals to become a fairy.

  Wanjian Mountain became famous because of this, which attracted great merchants and swordsmen to go to the place to worship, and it was regarded as a holy place for kendo.

   As more and more swordsmen went there, some people actually saw the swordsman's sword shadow from the swordsman's stone inscriptions carved on the mountain, so they improved their swordsmanship in a day.

  The existence of martial arts will become famous because of this.

Another example is the Zhaobi Jade Stone deep underground in the Hulao Cave in Jingzhou. It was originally a white jade stone weighing 10,000 catties. With the ancestors of Wu Sheng’s retreat there for decades, some future generations will be able to see Wu Sheng from it. The figure when he was cultivating here. As a result, he felt the Martial Dao will of the Martial Saint left in the jade, and his strength increased sharply.

   Not only that, but even a sword or a painting may leave behind the will of martial arts.

   There are tens of thousands of weapons in the place where Ning Xiu is now, and not a few of them have the will of martial arts, which shows how evil the people who practice here are.

   His martial arts talent and insane determination to practice martial arts are simply unimaginable to ordinary people.

  Ning Xiu had seen the three dragon heads of the Azure Dragon Society in the Juyi Hall before. Their own strength is not weak, but it is absolutely impossible for them to be able to do this.

   Thinking that Pan Zhao mentioned the person behind the Blue Dragon Society who might exist, Ning Xiu was somewhat worried for a while.

   If the person who did all this was Bai Liyu, who was called a dangerous person by Pan Zhao, then the opponent's strength would have long exceeded Pan Zhao's imagination.

  …

   "Ha! Ha..." Pan Zhao panted slightly and stared at the pale blue figure holding a long stick in front of him.

  The situation that Ning Xiu encountered, he also encountered, and Pan Zhao noticed that as he went deeper into this area, the strength of the martial dao will that appeared would be stronger.

   At first, it was only the seventh and sixth rank of martial arts, but later it gradually increased to the level of fifth and fourth rank of martial arts, which made Pan Zhao feel a little exhausted.

   These martial arts will only be able to make one or two moves, but every move is all-out effort. If you don’t fight hard, you will easily suffer a loss.

   "With the eighteen weapons and all kinds of unpopular weapons, you have trained the will of martial arts. Bailiyu, you are still the same as always, in the past few years." Pan Zhao said helplessly.

  咻!

   At this moment, a faint sound of breaking wind came from behind. Pan Zhao reacted very quickly, and quickly turned around to block it with his weapon.

   Hearing the abnormal sound, it turned into three in an instant. Pan Zhao only had time to shoot two, but a black shadow silently hit his chest, but it was a flying knife tied with a red cloth strip.

   Not far away, a pale blue figure hiding behind the wall was standing there motionless, and it was obvious that the flying knife came from him.

   "Damn it..." Pan Zhao pulled out his flying knife and threw it on the ground in a depressing manner. Fortunately, he wore a soft gold armor inside, otherwise he would have been attacked successfully.

Pan Zhao's in-depth progress was much faster than Ning Xiu's. Relying on the gecko walking skills, he did not entangle with the opponent at all when he encountered the will of martial arts, but deliberately forced the opponent to shoot, and then waited for the weapon to be unable to withstand the power. Natural collapse.

   In this way, Pan Zhao did not encounter much obstacles along the way.

However, as it penetrates into a relatively internal range, the effect of this approach becomes lower and lower. Those martial arts wills that appear here are often able to perform several tricks without breaking down, and their strength has also increased by one or two levels. , which made Pan Zhao feel very difficult. He had to stop and delay with the light blue figure, and he could only move forward after dragging the opponent down.

   But this approach is not a long-term solution. If it continues to drag on, Pan Zhao estimates that he will be dragged down before he can win the martial arts will.

There was no other way. After defeating the will of the martial arts, Pan Zhao had the idea of ​​going back the same way and joining Ning Xiu. In this case, the cooperation of the two Demon Fuweiwei must be done together, otherwise it will only be done alone Tou couldn't advance to the deepest part of this area at all.

  …

   Relying on the golden bell, Ning Xiu moved forward unimpeded, and the will of martial arts that appeared on the road could not have any influence on him at all.

Even like a slaughter, it was impossible to crack the body-protecting golden bell. On the contrary, after the weapons driven by the martial arts will hit the golden bell, they collapsed first, saving Ning Xiu a lot of needs. Efforts to deal with.

   After walking through the houses, Ning Xiu suddenly noticed a chatter coming from nearby. He immediately stopped and stood at the corner of the wall to listen secretly.

   "Big brother, tomorrow will be the martial arts conference. I am looking forward to it. If that person really succeeds in this way, what is the Yunze Prefecture martial arts leader, our Azure Dragon Club can directly unify the martial arts forces in the entire southwest."

"A great achievement is inevitable. I've seen him so powerful. For the sake of this martial arts conference, the three of us have been secretly planning for many years. Those martial artists from Yunze Prefecture would never be able to detect them. They all have to work hard to compete for the master of the martial arts alliance, but they don’t know that they are making wedding dresses for others.”

   "Mo Duoyan, gossip before things are successful, and there will be many failures in the end. It's not too late to celebrate after we put our joy in things."

  Ning Xiu heard these voices very familiar, thinking carefully about the three dragon heads of the Azure Dragon Society, it seems that the banquet in the Juyi Hall has ended.

   In order to prevent the attention of the three of them from triggering the will of the martial arts here, Ning Xiu did not dare to move forward. He waited until the voices of the three people gradually drifted away before he moved.

   It can be seen from the words of the three dragon heads that there is really a person behind them, and it is most likely the Bailiyu that Pan Zhao is hunting down.

The martial arts conference held in Cangshan this time is just a means for Bailiyu to complete some kind of magic. If this person is successful, the Qinglong Association will be able to stand out from Yunzezhou and control the entire southwest. martial arts.

   Exactly how powerful Bailiyu is cultivating magical powers, to make the three dragon heads have such self-confidence, Ning Xiu was quite curious for a while.

   Just as Ning Xiu was about to go deeper, there was a sudden bang, and he saw somewhere in the Azure Dragon Club, a scarlet signal bomb shot up into the sky, and then exploded a long dragon pattern in the night sky.

   Anyone who saw this movement knew that something big had definitely happened.

  Ning Xiu frowned and glanced at the distance that had not been explored by himself, but had no choice but to quickly return to the original path. When this signal popped up, the entire Azure Dragon Club would be alarmed.

  Although I don't know what happened outside, but if I don't hurry back, the people from the Blue Dragon Society will investigate later, and I'm afraid my identity will be revealed.

   When he arrived at the high wall, Pan Zhao had been waiting here for Ning Xiu for a long time. When he saw Ning Xiu appear, he immediately said, "It's not appropriate to continue the investigation now. Let's go back quickly."

   "Okay." Ning Xiu nodded and replied, the two quickly performed their respective feats, removed their disguise, and quietly returned to the viewing area without a trace, mixing into the crowd.

   After Ning Xiu found Jin Rou in the position he occupied, he immediately pressed her shoulder and asked, "What happened?"

"The Qinglong Association seems to be besieged by a few groups of forces sneaking up the mountain in the middle of the night. The group of people outside the meeting are setting fire everywhere, and they are fighting with the gang of the Qinglong Association." Jin Rou looked back and saw the people who came. After Ning Xiu, he hurriedly explained.

   This incident was unexpected. As the place where the Yunze Prefecture Martial Arts Conference will start tomorrow, a large number of martial arts masters gathered here.

   Tonight, the Blue Dragon Society was besieged by several groups of people going up the mountain. This is not a very funny thing.

   Whether or not the Qinglong Association can suppress this matter, it will greatly affect the prestige of the Qinglong Association and add a laughing stock to this martial arts conference.

   "When the siege is bad for this group of people, this is the time to start." After listening to Jin Rou's explanation, Ning Xiu couldn't help complaining in his heart.

   If such an accident hadn't happened suddenly, he might have seen how powerful Bailiyu who was hiding in the Azure Dragon Society was.

  As there was a lot of noise from the entrance of the Qinglonghui Mountain Gate, everyone sat silently on the stone bench, waiting for the final result of the battle.
