Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 20 Sword Test
Xu Heng took the order and left, but returned to his courtyard, took the long sword given by Taoist Liu, and then went to the mountain.

Although Chen Taiji said that when encountering a little red demon, he could retrieve it by holding the magic weapon and chanting a spell. It was just a tedious task and there was no risk at all.

However, Xu Heng felt that he still had to be adaptable. No matter whether it was put to use or not, at least it was in his own hands.

Moreover, Xu Heng was armed with a sharp weapon and had a murderous intention. He worked day and night, and finally achieved some success in his swordsmanship. It was inevitable that he would have the desire to try the sword.

……

The mountains are as quiet as ever.

After more than ten days, Xu Heng crossed the stream again. Without hesitation, Xu Heng walked straight into the forest. Soon, he came to a familiar tree.

The large hole in the tree trunk seemed to still have the atmosphere of a thrilling scene, but Xu Heng didn't take a second look before deviating from the path and heading deeper into the forest.

The little red devil is not a very cunning creature and will not cover its tracks. If the little red devil that attacked him is not captured by others, it should not be difficult to find it.

Xu Heng mobilized his true energy slightly to prevent being caught off guard. At the same time, he also strengthened his five senses and carefully searched for the disharmony revealed among the trees and bushes. There seemed to be a vague road emerging in front of him.

As they walked along, they noticed more and more traces, but Xu Heng frowned instead.

The little red devil is just a kind of creature in the cave. Why is it named a devil? It is because this demon is unintelligent and violent. Even among the same kind, they will fight to death for no reason. When they go to the mountains and forests, they will do whatever they want.

The little red demon has such destructive power, Xu Heng can hardly imagine what a real demon is like? Will it have a devastating impact on the balance of all spirits?

Xu Heng walked around the deer carcass in the forest, his pace suddenly accelerated a lot, and while walking, he tried to release his spiritual thoughts.

As a practitioner advances in cultivation, his spiritual thoughts will gradually become stronger, until they transform into spiritual consciousness, and he will be able to search the sky and the earth, and interact with all things.

Xu Heng broke through to the fourth level of Qi refining, and his spiritual thoughts became stronger. Although he was still far away from that state, his superficial senses were not lacking. Coupled with the strengthened five senses, the results were immediate.

He could sense that vague messages were coming from afar, and as he turned around to look for them, they gradually became clearer and more accurate, until a strange roar reached his ears on the wind.

Xu Heng followed the sound and came out of the forest. There was a strange roar in front of him, mixed with the sound of a spring. It seemed to be a mountain stream.

Xu Heng put his hand on the hilt of the sword and walked forward quickly. However, as the distance approached, the roar in front suddenly became quieter, leaving only the gurgling sound of water. When Xu Heng arrived, it was empty.

"Did you escape?" Xu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He rushed here without covering his steps, but the little red devil was ignorant and violent, and there were no natural enemies in the mountains and forests, so how could he escape? Nothing more than——

Sensing Xu Heng's approach, he quietly hid in preparation for a sudden attack!
The familiar scene suddenly repeated itself. A swift black shadow suddenly flew out from behind a rock and rushed towards Xu Heng!

But this time, Xu Heng was fully prepared. He clearly saw the sharp cold light on the three fingers and claws of the little red devil, and suddenly flashed back.

The little red demon jumped into the air, Xu Heng took two steps out, but stopped retreating. The long sword was unsheathed with a clang, and he swiped it forward, leaving a blood mark on the little red demon's skin!
But this bloodstain was not that deep. In swordsmanship, the wiping was often used to change direction or to launch a continuous attack. When it was launched, it was heavier, faster, and lighter. It didn't seem to have a significant effect on the iron-skinned little red demon.

Xu Heng thought about it and turned around again, making the little red demon's pursuit miss. He turned back and chopped, leaving another scar.

The force of the slash was obviously not comparable to that of a flat sword, and the little red demon screamed in pain. However, this creature was violent by nature, so it was aroused with fierce flames, and its attack was a little faster.

But Xu Heng just ducked his body and avoided its sweep again. He raised his sword back and struck again!
He is indeed very talented in fighting. During the fight, he naturally entered into a state of clear mind and clear thinking. Within a few feet, he was darting around the little red devil, as if he had returned to the past. When practicing the sword, he usually wields it freely.

In the square circle, controlling any changes in the sword means holding any changes and progress in the situation in one's own hands.

The little red demon's confused mind could not understand why Xu Heng could always be one step ahead of it and dodge its attack, but the swords were raining down and killing him one after another!
Point, stab, chop, tease, pick, wipe, chop, cut...

One sword mark after another appeared on the little red devil's body. The heaviest sword cut almost cut off its forearm.

This kind of situation would never happen even when similar people are fighting each other. Perhaps for the first time, fear sprouted in the heart of this violent creature.

Xu Heng slashed his sword diagonally at the little red devil's back. The little red devil did not turn around and fight back. Instead, he let out a loud yell and ran away as if running wildly.

Xu Heng raised his brows, he didn't expect this little red devil to really run away, but how could he let it go.

Now that you have decided to try the sword, you have to be consistent and kill this demon to be considered a success. Of course, having said that, it is not easy to do it.

Even though Xu Heng relied on his sword skills to calmly take the initiative, even though he slashed the demon with sword marks all over its body and dripping with blood, he still failed to seriously injure it. Otherwise, how could it still have the strength to run away?
Unless a magical weapon is used to contain it, Xu Heng predicts that if he wants to kill this demon purely with swordsmanship, he will have to fight for half a day.

Xu Heng's thoughts quickly changed. In the current situation, it was time to try out the wonders of the spell and see if his idea was good or wrong.

He moved like flying, chasing after the little red devil. He held the sword in front of him with one hand, pinched the fingers of the sword with the other hand, and slowly wiped it across the sword body. A faint aura came from it inch by inch. emerge.

The invisible edge is revealed openly.

——Air Blade Technique! Attached to the sword's edge.

Xu Heng took a deep breath, raised his true energy a little, and suddenly flew out.

At this moment, Xu Heng seemed to vaguely feel the artistic conception of Liu Daoren's sword in the night, and the slight pause when the sword encountered it, but it did not hinder his movements at all.

Xu Heng jumped down and slashed with his sword!
The little red devil's body ran wildly for a few steps, then fell to the ground with a thud, and its sharp-horned head rolled down just in time.

"Huh..." Xu Heng let out a long breath, calmed his breathing, and then swung the sword, and blood beads flew out and fell into the mountain stream.

The blade of the sword returned to its frosty state again, and Xu Heng sheathed the sword.
