The chivalrous spirit is fickle

"You are the Tailbone Blade, Kang Xi, didn't you die for slaying demons and monsters?"

Kang Xi slowly raised his head, his eyes mocking, his fangs showing through his lips, and laughed hoarsely.

"When I was still a human, I did have some fame, but I was only at the eighth level of martial arts throughout my life. At the end of my life, I realized that saving people is not as satisfying as eating them."

"When I met the master, I did want to slay demons and monsters, but the master defeated me in one move. Since then, I have become the master's slave."

The cloaked man sighed and murmured softly upon hearing this.

"Seeing you, a pillar of the righteous path, become like this, I feel less resistant."

"Well, as long as the Lord can let me live forever, I am willing to be a monster that is neither dead nor alive."

As he spoke, the cloaked man stepped forward, knelt down and bowed to the charity cemetery, and spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you loyally."

"Love what you love, hate what you hate."

"All three souls have returned, and all the spirits have gone."

After saying this, the man in the cloak bowed his head to the ground three times before he slowly stood up.

Seeing this, Kang Xi smiled again. He waved his hand, took out a bottle of pills and handed it to the man in the cloak.

"Senior, please keep this bottle of blood pills. If you are in a critical moment, just take a blood pill and you can be reborn after death and become a being like me."

"If your realm is high enough, after the transformation, you will not be afraid of the sunlight."

The cloaked man was delighted. He took the bottle of blood pill and put it away carefully. With this bottle of blood pill, it was like having an extra life, which was much better than any magic weapon.

Kang Xi suddenly frowned, remembered something, and said with a frown.

"But you still have to be careful. Two hundred years ago, I once gave a blood pill to someone, but I don't know what ruthless character he provoked."

"He didn't come back to life after his death. I went to see his body and found that his fatal wound was a knife wound to the heart. But the murderer seemed to have some kind of hobby. After killing him, he chopped off the man's head."

"The corpses with him were all like this. No matter where the fatal wound was, their heads were chopped off. Without the head, the blood pills are useless."

"That man is so violent, even more cruel than us man-eating monsters."

The cloaked man heard this but didn't care at all and waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter. Those who can kill me in this world won't do it easily. My identity is special, so it's not that easy for me to die."

Kang Xi's expression relaxed, and then he took out another martial arts book, handed it to the cloaked man, and said.

"This is the great lord's technique. Keep it well. It may help you break through the Mirror Innate Realm."

The cloaked man took the book of martial arts, but suddenly leaned closer, lowered his voice and asked.

"Did that person... also practice this set of skills?"

The man in the cloak seemed to be hesitant and did not dare to say the name, but only pointed it out vaguely. Kang Xi understood this and spoke softly.

"Don't worry, that person is the first one to pledge allegiance to the Great Lord. When the Great Lord is resurrected, that person will be the first person under his command."

Hearing this, the cloaked man breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had any objection to pledging allegiance to the great devil. After accepting the skills, he had no intention of staying any longer and turned around to leave.

Kang Xi looked at the back of the cloaked man and bowed until he could no longer see him, then he slowly stood up.

The moonlight sank, and a thin layer of water accumulated on the loess. Kang Xi stepped on the thin layer of water, turned around and sat on the steps at the door, with an expression neither happy nor sad, quietly looking at the bright moon in the sky.

"Can the Maharaja really be resurrected?"

A faint voice came from the charity cemetery, sounding very weak. Kang Xi lowered his head slightly and spoke lightly.

"It's impossible to wish for such a thing. The astrology predicts that a great demon will be resurrected. It could be Lord Mara, or it could be our Lord."

The voice asked again.

"If the Great Lord is resurrected, what reward would you like the Great Lord to give you?"

Kang Xi was stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it again and again, he looked down at his long black nails, lowered his eyebrows, and said in a low voice.

"I have no idea……"

"At this point, I don't have anything I want anymore, so I just go with the flow."

The voice sighed and spoke slowly.

"I left a piece of meat for you. Do you want to eat it? You haven't eaten human flesh for a long time."

"If you keep going like this, you'll get weaker and weaker."

Kang Xi did not answer. He took the voice from inside the door as his consent, and opened the door and threw out a piece of human flesh.

The torn pieces of meat fell into the water, covered with mud and leaving streaks of blood. Kang Xi reached out and took the piece of human flesh, put it in his mouth, and chewed it expressionlessly.

Human flesh tastes delicious, so delicious that it drives people crazy, makes people lose their minds, and cannot give it up.

So Kang Xi ate faster and faster, his eyes gradually became ferocious, and he let out low wild-beast growls from his throat. He tore the flesh and blood, chewed it, and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.

Time slowly passes, the night fades away, and a ray of morning light, along with the sun rising from the mountain ridge, shines on the world.

Kang Xi's mouth was full of blood, and he let the blood shine on his face. He lied. Now he has the strength of the ninth level of martial arts and is not afraid of the sun.

"Do you still remember the title of the Maharaja?"

After hearing this question, Kang Xi thought for a moment, then slowly uttered a word from between his lips and teeth.

"stiff."

Chapter 17 The End of Training

A few days later, in the ancient city.

The sun was rising, and above the temple, the pure white sword reflected the morning light. Dew condensed and flowed down the blade, and finally turned into blood red, dripping onto the ground in front of the temple.

Shi Gu stepped forward and lit three incense sticks. The pure white sword trembled slightly, as if blaming its master for leaving it behind for too long.

Smoke curled up around the pure white blade. Shi Gu reached out and flicked the blade to stop it from trembling, then turned and left.

For several days, Shigu had never entered the backyard of the Buddhist temple, but today was the first time he set foot in this place.

The backyard seemed to be always shrouded in a layer of fog, both during the day and at night, and it would not dissipate.

Shi Gu walked straight to the pond in the yard, squatted down, looked at the white fish in the pond, and squinted his eyes slightly.

Ever since he stepped into this place, there has been an invisible force pulling him, trying to take him into another dimension, but that force was too weak to pull him into the dream.

The water in the pond was rippling, and the white fish poked its head out of the water, looking at Shi Gu quietly. Shi Gu then let go of his murderous aura, and without any resistance, he spoke softly to the white fish.

"Let me in."

Hearing this, the white fish dived back into the water, its lips moved slightly, and it spit out a bubble.

The next moment, layer upon layer of fog enveloped the place, the sky and earth were spinning, Shi Gu obediently closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already in the Da Neng Mountain City.

"Long time no see, little Zhutian."

The sun was shining brightly, without a trace of moisture, but Su Xin was walking slowly towards us, holding an oil-paper umbrella, with the demeanor of a sage.

Shi Gu looked at Su Xin who was walking slowly towards him, reached out and touched his mouth, and said lightly.

"Wipe your saliva, Suxin."

Su Xin's expression froze, and she reached out to touch her lips, and sure enough, she felt a hand full of saliva. She hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and explained.

"I've been sleeping for so many years, it's normal for me to have saliva at the corners of my mouth. But you, how dare you call me by my name? I'm your elder."

Upon hearing this, Shi Gu couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

"You are indeed older than me, but you don't look like an elder at all. How can I treat you as an elder?"

"Hmph, you are sharp-tongued, just like your master."

Su Xin complained in a low voice, wiped her saliva, threw the oil-paper umbrella on the ground, took out a scallion pancake, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

"Since you've come in, it means it's time for you to leave. Why, do you want to check on the progress of your two apprentices?"

Shi Gu nodded slightly, Su Xin bit the scallion pancake, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly said.

"Boy, your master's soul is still there. I have the soul method here. As long as you agree..."

Hearing this, Shi Gu frowned and interrupted Su Xin's words forcefully.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If the master is resurrected, what about Shen Yue?"

"Do you want her to die?"

Su Xin rolled her eyes but continued talking without giving up.

"Isn't Shen Yue the reincarnation of Luofu? She is Luofu."

Hearing this, Shi Gu frowned even more tightly and spoke loudly.

"Master is Master, Shen Yue is Shen Yue, they cannot be confused with each other."

"If you force Shen Yue to become your master, you will kill Shen Yue. I will never agree to such a thing."

"It's even more impossible for the master to agree."

Su Xin angrily threw the scallion pancake on the ground, turned her eyes away, and muttered angrily.

"Why are you two so stubborn, master and disciple? Never mind, it's up to you two."

After saying that, Su Xin's figure turned into a ball of mist and disappeared, leaving only a scallion pancake with a hole in it.

Shi Gu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw this, luckily he had learned some Great Dream Heavenly Secrets in his past, although his attainments were not high, it was more than enough to use them to find people.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, the martial arts technique started to work, and Shi Gu's figure also turned into a wisp of mist and disappeared.

The next moment, Shi Gu appeared in a remote and open area in Daming Mountain City. He stood under a tree and looked at the open space.

clang!

The crisp sound of golden swords echoed, and Su Xue used her fingers as a sword, stepped forward, and continued to attack an old man.

He put two fingers together, and the sword energy was so powerful that it was sharper than a real sword.

The old man also put his fingers together like a knife, and with one wave of his hand, he blocked all the attacks. The knife energy exchanged and turned into countless transparent forces, which scattered out like a rain of pear blossoms, plowing the ground in the field.

Su Xue's eyes moved rapidly, constantly locking onto the old man's aura, without any sign of panic. Suddenly, the old man pointed with his thumb, which pierced through the sword energy net and pointed directly at Su Xue's brow through a tiny gap.

There was no way to avoid this finger. Su Xue's body was moving forward and she was unable to stop her force.

However, the next moment, Su Xue's eyes shone brightly, and she shot out two blade auras to block the finger. Then Su Xue quickly turned around, with two fingers hidden in her sleeves that had been accumulating strength for a long time, and then she pointed out with one finger.

Roar! ! !

The roars of dragons and tigers resounded throughout the heaven and earth. A strong wind suddenly arose, and a flash of sword light pierced through the field with a devastating force. The old man's body flew backwards in an instant and was shattered by the sword light.

In Dameng Mountain City, there is no life or death. As long as one's mind is there, one can remain immortal. It is an excellent place for cultivation.

Su Xue pointed her fingers forward, stopped where she was, and breathed slightly. Her eyes were calm, without a trace of murderous intent, while the old man regrouped and appeared on the scene.

The old man looked pleased. He stroked his white beard and praised Su Xue.

"Yes, yes, you are indeed talented in the way of the sword, and you are improving very quickly. It seems that your master has laid a good foundation for you."

Su Xue clasped her fists and bowed, expressing her gratitude sincerely.

"Thank you for your praise, Senior. If it weren't for your guidance, I don't know how many detours Su Xue would have to take."

The old man chuckled when he heard this, but his eyes passed Su Xue and fell on Shi Gu behind him.

"Your master is much more powerful than me, but his sword is only suitable for him."

"The only thing I can use is the finger knife. The rest of the journey depends on you."

Su Xue bowed respectfully again, then turned around with a smile on her face and ran quickly towards Shi Gu. During the fight just now, she had already seen Shi Gu waiting on the side.

"master!"

Seeing that Su Xue was about to pounce on him, Shi Gu slowly raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, as if saying, "If you dare to pounce on me, I'm going to give you a bump on the head."

Su Xue immediately stopped her flying move, stuck out her tongue at Shi Gu, and then excitedly turned around Shi Gu.

"Master, how is my practice going?"

"Well, if you don't tell me, I'll think you're showing off your skirt to me."

Shi Gu's eyes quickly swept over Su Xue and he nodded with satisfaction.

"The breath is steady, the killing aura is released and controlled freely, and the evil aura from before is gone."
