Chapter 150: The Battle Royale Begins, the Soul Ring Divine Art Is Constantly Improved, the True Use of the Hundred-Year Tree Man (Six Thousand Six Hundred
"Brother, give me a hand!"
The farmhand's face was ferocious, and he ruthlessly thrust the short blade at his waist into the back of his friend. In an instant, the room was filled with a flash of black light and blood.
"What are you going to do?"
The friend's body shuddered suddenly, feeling a piercing pain. His expression was dull, and he looked at the tip of the short blade that pierced his chest in disbelief. He turned his head to look at the farmhand, blood oozing from his mouth, and he could not accept it.
"I am really scared, please help me."
The farmhand sighed, pulled out the short blade, stabbed it in and out again several times, and even cast a magic spell to ensure that his friend would have no chance of resistance.
"you……"
My friend was in low spirits and extremely resentful. Just as he showed a resentful look and was about to curse, he was suddenly kicked out by the farmhand. His friend's gradually cooling body flew out and hit the wall.
The farmhand wiped the blood off the short blade, but the smile on his lips became more bloody and cruel.
Because, after he killed his friend, strands of pure energy and spirit from his friend surged towards him, and then he felt powerful forces that were under his control.
"It's true!
“This method is indeed true!
"From now on, my fate is in my own hands!"
The farmhand let out a long howl, and his aura suddenly changed. He was originally at the seventh level of Qi training, but at this moment his aura was actually close to the ninth level!
And in his spiritual platform, the soul that embodied his own essence, energy and spirit was covered with a gray halo.
This halo holds great power.
It was the power contained in his friend's spirit.
And now, he is in control.
"Kill people. As long as you kill people, you will become stronger!
"From today on, the title of Longgong Ma Hanfang will no longer exist. Only the title of Master Ma Hanfang will exist in the world."
A gleam of greed and madness flashed across the eyes of the farmhand Ma Hanfang. He grabbed the short blade and continued to hide it around his waist, as if nothing had happened. He walked out of the house as usual and headed towards the synagogue.
There were quite a few figures standing here, all of them were long-term workers of the master's family, gathered in twos and threes, waiting for the tasks to be issued by the steward today.
"Han Fang, aren't you taking a break today?"
When someone saw Ma Hanfang with a stern face, they greeted him with a smile: "What's up? Are you short of money? Whose job are you replacing?"
"I told you, the girls in the brothels are not something we can eat. They are too expensive."
"It's not easy for us to earn some money. It's not enough for our own cultivation. We can't spend it on a woman's belly."
Other familiar farmhands also started chatting with each other.
just,
next moment,
The originally bustling meeting hall was now filled with solemnity.
The air was filled with blood and the ground was littered with broken limbs and corpses.
For cultivators with ordinary talents, each higher realm is like a level higher in heaven.
Ma Hanfang, who possessed the strength of the ninth level of Qi training, only took a few breaths from the beginning of the killing to the end.
Because his strength is constantly increasing.
"Is this the foundation?"
"I have finally become a foundation-building master!"
"Unfortunately, brothers, you are all too weak. No matter how many of you I kill, I will not be able to become a golden elixir, or even break through to the middle stage of foundation building."
"It's like this, we should go kill the master family, no, kill those son-of-a-bitch stewards first, then kill the master family. They are all very powerful, if we kill them, we can break through to the Golden Core!"
"Yes, we should kill the master! Let's go kill the master!"
The future Lord Ma Hanfang had a fierce look in his eyes and a bloody aura raging on his body, like a peerless demon god walking out of hell, or a bloody beast from the wilderness.
Even he didn't know that after practicing this soul ring magic, his consciousness had gradually become insane.
By the time he had slaughtered everyone in the main family, his consciousness had been divided into dozens of parts. The people he killed moved into his consciousness space, profoundly affecting him.
“This version still doesn’t work.”
In the distance, a tall and strong young man with a majestic aura, a resolute appearance, and an invisible sense of arrogance and defiance, shook his head slightly, a little disappointed, took a step forward, fell from the sky, and raised his hand to strangle Ma Hanfang to death.
This person is Zhao Jingang.
During this period, he has revised it three times. Although the results are getting better and better, it is still far from satisfactory.
This inevitably made him anxious.
After all, with the spread of the third version of the soul ring magic, Lingxiao City has become even more chaotic.
"Let's go find my senior brother first." Zhao Jingang calmed down. The experimental data for the third edition has been almost collected, and the fourth edition should be improved soon. It's time to find Senior Brother Xu to report the situation.
East of the city,
In a remote wasteland.
Xu Gu is constantly performing two special spells.
Of course, although it is called a spell, it is actually two talents.
It is exactly [crushing bones and scattering ashes] and [educating people for a hundred years].
"Senior brother, you haven't finished studying that magic yet?" After Zhao Jingang found Xu Gu's position, he asked while galloping towards him.
“We have almost finished the research.”
As Xu Gu spoke, he raised his hand and waved it. A ray of cold light burst out from his palm, and the body of a demon cultivator who was tied up in front of him suddenly exploded and died instantly.
After the demon cultivator died, his body gradually melted away. During the melting process, roots, stems and leaves actually seeped out from the rotten flesh and bones, and began to frantically devour the remaining magic power in the demon cultivator's body, as well as the surrounding spiritual energy.
Within a short period of time, it had grown into a tree several meters high.
No, to be exact, it turned into a tree man.
These big trees are not ordinary big trees, but are similar to tree spirits. However, their consciousness is controlled by Xu Gu.
"What kind of spell is this?"
When Zhao Jingang saw this scene, he was shocked and cried out in surprise. He was very excited and somewhat eye-opening.
For a moment, I even doubted whether it was an illusion.
"It's just a small trick." Xu Gu said calmly, "After killing the enemy unit, you can use the enemy's flesh and blood and spirit as the foundation to breed a tree demon.
“The strength of the tree demon changes according to the qualifications and cultivation of the enemy units in its lifetime.
“Even if there are good spiritual seeds, they can be planted to breed corresponding tree monsters.
"The tree demon is under my absolute control."
This [Hundred Years of Cultivating People] is a blue item second only to the purple level, so its power is naturally extraordinary.
However, he had killed several people before, but none of them triggered this entry.
He thought that his previous guess was wrong and that this entry had other uses. But after studying it carefully, he found that it was in conflict with the green [crush bones and scatter ashes].
To cultivate a person for a hundred years requires the body of the dead as nutrients, but grinding the bones and scattering the ashes would destroy the body and eliminate all traces, so naturally it could never be stimulated.
Now, after he intentionally stopped grinding bones and scattering ashes, the effect of cultivating people for a hundred years can be brought into play.
"Is this just a small trick?" Zhao Jingang was very surprised after hearing Xu Gu's words.
It sounds so perverted, right?
If it weren't for the fact that his senior brother had incredible wisdom and some of the spells he learned were simply impossible for ordinary people to master, he would have wanted to learn them all.
"It is indeed just a small trick." Xu Gu did not mean to be modest, but spoke the truth, saying: "The transformation has an upper limit. If the enemy unit's cultivation exceeds the ninth level of the Nascent Soul, it cannot be transformed.
"Although these tree spirits can exist forever, they need to be maintained, just like maintaining a spiritual pet. If you don't have enough energy, you can't maintain many tree spirits.
“As for the number of tree demons I can command, it is determined by the strength of my soul and the level of cultivation of the tree demons being commanded.
"It's similar to using a spiritual pet to cultivate spiritual power."
In essence, it is still a branch of the Beast Taming lineage.
Apart from being able to mass-produce tree spirits (below the ninth level of the Nascent Soul) that are loyal to him at low cost, his other performances are quite standard and no different from his spiritual practice methods.
Spiritual cultivators are monks who mainly fight by controlling puppets or spiritual pets.
Before, Xu Gu, Li Shaobai and Mi Suhui encountered the Demon Shadow, the Demon Child who fell from the sky, and it was spiritual cultivation.
"Even so, it's still amazing." Zhao Jingang said in amazement: "If the Beast Taming Sect knew about this, they would definitely be envious."
Although he was not a spiritual practitioner or animal tamer, he knew very well that the key to raising a spiritual pet was to capture and recognize its master.
However, Senior Brother Xu's magic directly saves the two major problems of capture and master recognition.
You can directly enjoy the joy of controlling your spirit pet to fight.
As for the subsequent maintenance, it is simple, at least for Senior Brother Xu, the head manager of the clinic that treats sleep paralysis, it is very simple.
"Unfortunately, there is an upper limit to transformation. It cannot be transformed beyond the ninth level of Nascent Soul. If there were no such restriction, it would be truly against the will of heaven." Zhao Jingang murmured.
"There's no such good thing in the world." Xu Gu laughed and didn't care too much.
The blue entry, being able to achieve this step, was already beyond his expectations.
He had no complaints.
He collected his thoughts, looked at Zhao Jingang and said, "How is the improvement of the Soul Ring Divine Art?"
"The third edition has been revised, and the fourth edition will be released soon." Zhao Jingang said truthfully:
“In the first version, the ring was designed to be too narrow, which caused many practitioners to have their own spirit, energy and spirit directly cut off by the spirit rings condensed by others during their practice.
“Then there was a severe mental breakdown.
"In the second version, I designed the spirit ring to be wider. Then, after the practitioners practiced, all the spirit rings fell to the ground, causing them to be top-heavy, like being stuck in a quagmire or carrying a sacred mountain on their backs, unable to move at all.
“For the third version, I let some threads separate from the cultivators’ spirits and souls to hang these spirit rings.
"The result is that they come into contact with each other. After practicing for a period of time, practitioners will still be affected by the remaining consciousness."
Of course, these are just general questions. There are many more specific details, but there is no need to explain them.
Xu Gu's mouth twitched when he heard this.
To be honest, he had thought of many possible errors, but he never expected that the real cause of the error would come from the "physics" aspect.
Since it involves the mysterious soul, there is no need to strictly abide by common sense of physics, right?
"So, what are you going to do?" Xu Gu asked tentatively.
"I plan to change the shape of the soul ring and derive a few legs from the ring to provide support." Zhao Jingang informed Xu Gu of his idea.
"I have to say, it's much simpler than I thought." Xu Gu's mouth twitched again and he couldn't help but mutter.
He originally thought that he would have to use repulsion or gravity to make these spirit rings float up, but he didn't expect there was such a simple and crude method as adding legs.
"Senior Brother, do you have any other ideas?" Zhao Jingang asked.
"It's a bit complicated. Not as simple as yours." Xu Gu nodded and shook his head, "Let's do it according to your idea first."
"Okay." Zhao Jingang nodded.
And on the other side,
"Master Bai, are you sure that the backup plan is hidden in the thousand-mile swamp on the eastern outskirts of this city?" Wang Shanfeng, the head of the Wang family, asked Bai Qiusheng carefully with a cautious look on his face.
Under the order of the Wang family's ancestor, all the Wang family members who were able to fight, as well as all the resources, were transported here.
Prepare to seize the backup plan left by Xu Gu.
Not only the Wang family, but also the Zhu family and the Sun family, also mobilized all their forces and occupied the other two areas within the Qianli Lake.
Bai Qiusheng took on the important task of delivering various messages on behalf of Xu Gu.
"Of course." Bai Qiusheng said proudly, "Do you think I would lie to you?"
"Of course I don't dare." Wang Shanfeng quickly changed his words, then took out a storage bag from his arms and handed it to Bai Qiusheng without leaving a trace. He said, "Mr. Bai, please tell me some news. We are really scared of this situation.
"Don't worry, if we win in the end, we will definitely reward you handsomely."
"How can I do that?" Bai Qiusheng raised his lips and smiled brightly. He accepted the storage bag and said, "After some time, the master will directly awaken part of the power of the backhand and inform you." "But, before that, you can carve some array patterns first."
As he spoke, Bai Qiusheng took out a parchment scroll from his arms and handed it to Wang Shanfeng.
"What kind of formation is this?" Wang Shanfeng raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
"The Solid Void Formation is a formation that confines space." Bai Qiusheng said seriously, "Even among the many treasures that Master has bestowed upon me, its value is among the highest."
"Solid Sky Formation? What's the point of us setting up this formation?" Wang Shanfeng was a little surprised and very puzzled.
Bai Qiusheng remained silent.
Wang Shanfeng nodded tactfully upon seeing this. His previous worries mostly disappeared. He took out another storage bag from his arms and handed it to Bai Qiusheng with a bit of reluctance.
"I'm only telling you these words, remember not to tell anyone else." Bai Qiusheng said, "The backup plan that Master sent down will be disguised as a dragon fish, and it will flee everywhere, making it very difficult to catch.
"Although you have the combined ancestors in charge, it is not too difficult to capture it, but the two opposing families also have combined ancestors, and they will interfere."
"This Gukong Formation is used to catch the dragon fish-like creature as a backup?!" Wang Shanfeng suddenly realized, and then his face showed sincere joy and great gratitude.
These two pieces of news are worth buying!
Knowing the characteristics of that back-up plan and carving a solid air formation in their own camp in advance to capture that back-up plan will undoubtedly greatly increase the probability of their Wang family winning the war.
After being excited for a moment, he calmed down and asked solemnly:
"What about what my ancestor asked Master Bai to do?"
"It's been taken care of." Bai Qiusheng said calmly, "I suggested to you that we set up poisonous miasma around the place for fun. The poisonous miasma will continue to spread inside over time.
“This forced the other two families to join the battle, unable to hide.
"The gentleman agreed without even thinking about it."
"As expected of Master Bai!" After hearing this, Wang Shanfeng was delighted again, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing unimaginable joy.
Spending a large sum of money to bribe Bai Qiusheng, this business is not a loss!
Even the money and property he gave away made him feel painful.
Since we need to win the battle quickly and avoid being constantly pressured by Xu Gu and causing more trouble, we can only find a way to force the other two families to fight. We cannot let them hide at the critical moment and drag out the situation.
Originally, he was having a headache, wondering how this could be possible.
If people find that the situation is unfavorable, they will definitely hide and delay time.
In the end, the Wang family patriarch didn't care at all and just asked him to take his belongings and go find Bai Qiusheng.
He said that as long as the money is in place, Bai Qiusheng will arrange everything for you.
The result is true.
"Then I'll help you have good luck." Bai Qiusheng said with a smile.
After saying that, he didn't even look back, stepped on the flying sword, and sped away.
When he left, he felt extremely happy. This was too great. In the past, the heads of these big families were either arrogant or looked down on others. They didn't take him seriously at all.
As a result, they are now extremely respectful. Not only are they humble and fawning in their attitudes, but they also call him "Master Bai" all the time.
After he left, he wandered around for a long time, and after making sure that no one was following him, he ended up in the Zhu family's current territory.
Brought some key information and the answers they requested to the head of the Zhu family.
Obviously, he was bribed not only by the Wang family, but also by the Zhu family and the Sun family.
Of course, these were all arranged by Xu Gu.
With the help of Bai Qiusheng, he induced the three major families to follow his plan step by step.
Outside, after confirming that the battle royale map had been properly arranged, Xu Gu raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at the smokeless fires burning everywhere in Lingxiao City in the distance. It was obvious that Lingxiao City was about to be in complete chaos. He said:
"Silver Jubilee, you guys are too slow to react. Since you haven't reacted yet, you don't have a chance anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Gu's body circled up and stood in the air.
In the three directions below, all the demon cultivators from the three major families, Wang, Zhu, and Sun, suddenly looked up, looking at Xu Gu with a hint of uneasiness and expectation in their eyes.
Including the top leaders of the three major families, and the ancestors of the three families combined.
"Stop." Xu Gu saw that the ancestors of the three families wanted to fly over and greet him, so he stopped them of course. Then he waved his hand and a stream of light flew out.
In an instant, this stream of light burst out with a brilliance that seemed to be able to destroy the world. It possessed supreme power, and its aura was very deep and powerful.
This was the backup plan that Han Changsheng gave to Zhao Jingang.
Used as bait by Xu Gu.
Induce the three major families to snatch from each other and start a life-and-death battle.
"Roar!"
After this back hand landed, it really turned into a dragon fish with long dragon whiskers and tear-shaped scales on its body.
The moment the dragon fish was born, it disappeared from the spot and escaped into the air.
"Go grab it."
Xu Gu said calmly: "Whoever survives will be the king. He will follow me to conquer the ancestral land of the Demonic Path and establish a supreme foundation!"
"boom!"
Without any surprise, all the family demon cultivators who were ready to go rushed out and began searching like a swarm of locusts.
While searching, don't forget to engrave the array pattern of the 'Solid Sky Array' according to the above requirements.
At first they only searched within the sphere of influence that they initially controlled, but they soon completed the search without incident and began to explore the outside areas.
Friction also ensued.
As soon as Xu Gu finished his words, poisonous miasma began to spread from the outermost part of the circled area. This poisonous miasma came from a powerful formation.
Provided by Zhao Jingang.
Although the poison cannot kill the old monster in the combined state, it is not difficult to poison the Jindan and Yuanying cultivators.
Even a cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation Stage would suffer serious injuries if he stayed in this poisonous miasma for a long time.
"Battle Royale? This trial method is quite interesting!"
“He really is a genius.”
"The venue is locked, the safety zone is gradually reduced, and a back-up plan that can change the situation of the battle is deployed.
"It makes it impossible for all participants to dodge or retreat. They can only compete with each other in wits and courage, and use all their real skills to fight each other fiercely."
"This kind of trial seems exciting enough!"
"He was afraid that they couldn't use real fire, so in addition to putting out a powerful backup, Xu Gu also placed powerful treasures in various places for people to fight over in a small area."
"It's only the beginning, and the three parties have already been beaten to a pulp. In this way, if one party loses in the end, there will be no possibility of surrendering to the victor."
When the leaders of the various forces outside saw this scene, they were all surprised and praised it repeatedly.
I think this model is very interesting and clever.
It can ensure that the three major families will perish in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, it can also provide these spectators with constant visual impact, and they can see battles breaking out everywhere.
For a moment, all the people in charge wanted to simplify this model slightly and use it to test their disciples.
"The most important thing is that this situation was actually caused by these three major families."
"The spread of the poisonous miasma is the request of the three major families."
"The Solid Void Formation is the formation that actually restricts them from leaving, and it is also what they are engraving."
"Before Xu and Gu even said anything, the three major families brought all their combat power and property and threw themselves into the battle."
The person in charge shook his head slightly with a hint of sneer on his face. With a God's perspective, it was hard for them not to feel that these three major families were not very smart.
“It’s just appearance.”
"On the surface, the three major families got what they wanted, but in reality, it was Xu Zhijian who was secretly guiding them, either by coercion or bribery, to induce the three major families to do this."
"If we were to put ourselves in their shoes, we would make the same choice.
“Because, whether it was because Cangjian Villa was forced to fight to the death with the Qian family because they could not hand over Xu Gu, or because the three major families were alienated, they had to take the initiative to stab the Qian family in the back and fight each other for the sake of interests and to avoid being killed by other families. Now they can’t wait to end the battle quickly.
“It was all Xu Gu’s conspiracy.
"What is an open conspiracy? There is no way to avoid an open conspiracy."
"All this just shows that Xu Gu's methods are too clever."
Some people objected and spoke for the three major families.
The three major families have actually done very well.
Even though, I have always been led by Xu Gu.
However, this does not mean that the three major families are stupid and foolish. It only shows that Xu Gu's methods are vicious and his wisdom is amazing. He has fully mobilized all the resources and information that can be mobilized and laid out one amazing conspiracy after another.
As they marveled,
However, Xu Gu did not watch the three major families participating in the battle royale.
The reason is very simple. In a short period of time, the three major families will not engage in a decisive battle so quickly. They will test each other first. When the test is almost over and the dragon fish happens to be born, it will be the time for the decisive battle.
At the moment, Xu Gu was more concerned about the soul ring magic.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
There was complete chaos in Lingxiao City, with countless demon cultivators burning, killing and looting.
Zhao Jingang has very efficiently improved the fourth version of the soul ring magic and had people distribute it.
A total of four thousand copies of the fourth edition of the Soul Ring Magic were printed. Although many practitioners had died in the first three editions, either due to mistakes in practice, or being beaten to death, or being dissected by Zhao Jingang for research, some practitioners still survived, although they had all gone mad.
In this way, together with the practitioners who have just practiced the fourth version of the soul ring magic and can participate in the riot, there are at least two thousand people.
This scale may be insignificant for Lingxiao City, which has millions of cultivators, but it is enough to cause considerable turmoil.
After all, once turmoil breaks out, there will be people who follow suit.
Not to mention, now the main forces of the three major families have evacuated the city and entered the Qianli Swamp, and there is no control power.
"What are the results of the fourth edition?" Xu Gu asked Zhao Jingang.
Zhao Jingang said honestly: "It's still not good enough, it's not quite there yet."
"What are the details?" Xu Gu asked.
Zhao Jingang explained: “Adding a support leg won’t work. It will seriously increase the workload and make the spirit ring magic skill much more complicated. This will also greatly increase the probability of errors in the skill.
“Many practitioners have gone mad.
"Moreover, the number of spirit rings that can be obtained through this spirit ring skill should be limited. Once it exceeds nine, it will become unstable, and ten is the limit.
"If you wear more than ten spirit rings, then the external spirit, energy and spirit will be too strong, and your own spirit, energy and spirit will be too weak, and it will be directly affected and will be usurped."
"It is indeed like this." Xu Gu thought for a moment and was not surprised by this result. He said, "You change it like this."
As he spoke, Xu Gu gave the example of a hula hoop.
Apply a little traction to the soul ring, and then make the soul ring rotate quickly, so that the soul ring can be easily suspended in the air.
At the same time, if you want to keep your own spirit, energy and spirit at a distance from external spirit, energy and spirit, you can also add a fixed layer of repulsive force to the soul ring to prevent the soul ring from touching your own spirit and soul.
As for things that cannot be overloaded, Xu Gu has no way out. The only way may be to continuously strengthen his energy and spirit.
