Within the Seventy-Two Bone Sword Formation, the sky and the earth were submerged in white mist, and everything was completely white. Only white bones kept appearing and disappearing, and the sword power splashed out in all directions, either hitting the bones or hitting the bones. Submerged in the surrounding white mist.
There are seventy-two of these white bones, each holding an iron sword. Their skeletons are as pure white as silver. They appear to be fragile, but in fact they are extremely strong. The force of the swords hitting them cannot leave even the slightest trace.
Although the seventy-two white bones holding swords were constantly moving, they vaguely formed an encirclement. Some of them emerged from the white mist, wielding their swords to attack a young man in the middle, or they retreated quickly after fighting, disappearing. Entering the white mist, waiting for an opportunity to attack again.
And these people who were attacking with swords and bones were none other than Shi Chishang.
At this time, Shi Chi Shang could be said to be in an extremely embarrassed state, with his clothes all in pieces, but his eyes were brighter than ever before, showing his concentration as he wielded the Evil Heart Sword and kept clashing with the bones.
"Point! Collapse!"
He murmured softly in his mouth, Shichi Shang suddenly raised the sword a little, and an iron sword was hit in the middle of the sword tip. Then an extremely powerful force seemed to surge out of the evil heart sword. In an instant, the iron sword shattered inch by inch from the tip of the sword until it disappeared. It reached the hilt of the sword and hit the bone-white palm before being stopped.
Although he shattered the opponent's weapon, Shi Chishang was not surprised at all. Sure enough, he grasped the white bones with five fingers, and the iron sword that had just broken into pieces reunited in his hand, and he swung the sword to attack Shi Chishang again.
Shi Chi Shang was not in a hurry, and the sword he was pointing at suddenly whirled around, making three crisp sounds. Three iron swords struck from behind were suppressed by him with one swing of his sword. Then, with a flick of the sword's edge, he knocked these iron swords away. The three white bones retreated in unison.
Almost at the moment when Shi Chi Shang used his strength to repel the three enemies, all the bones retreated together and disappeared into the surrounding white mist.
Seeing this, Shi Chishang let out a soft breath. With the Xuanhuang Soul Seal, his soul power was almost endless. However, he knew that the opponent would retreat this time and would not attack again until at least half a minute, so he had to maintain his own state. Avoid taking short breaks and falling back down again.
He didn't remember how long it had been since he entered the formation. He only knew that so far, these bones had launched eight consecutive attacks on him. Each time they attacked, they would use the same sword technique. He had already understood the true meaning of the test, Shi Chi Shang. Naturally, while resisting, he also learned the sword skills deliberately displayed by the other party.
"Cutting, drawing, blocking, dotting, collapsing, stirring, pressing, splitting..." Shi Chishang murmured the sword skills he had learned before, his eyes became more intense. As expected, it was a sect with swordsmanship as its core, and the other party deliberately taught it. Under the Tao, in just half a day, his swordsmanship had at least doubled.
In the past, Chi Shang had used swordsmanship when facing enemies, but whether it was starlight swordsmanship, killing swordsmanship, or the swordsmanship gifted from hundreds of swordsmanship masters in Changping Dongtian, they could not be considered a complete inheritance.
Most of the swordsmanship skills he had acquired before were only focused on artistic conception, such as the Sixth Realm of Starlight, or the swordsmanship taught by hundreds of swordsmen in the Great Qin Dynasty. Combine these to form a complete set of sword scriptures.
But this time when I participated in the apprenticeship assessment of the White Bone Cave, except for the first test, the following tests were almost a continuous teaching ceremony. First, the power of death, then the method of death, and finally, these bones were used to attack. In fact, the teaching skills demonstrated allowed Shi Chishang to truly master a complete and coherent kendo inheritance.
Just when Chi Shang was excited, several cold lights suddenly lit up in the surrounding white fog, and it was the bones that had been hidden before and launched another attack.
Seeing several iron swords facing him, Shi Chi Shang's soul power spread all over his body, his wings of yin and light stretched out wantonly, his body shimmered like a ghost, and the Evil Heart Sword also swayed with a vast radiance, constantly fighting with those bones.
After only a few rounds of fighting, Shi Chishang had already clearly understood that the technique the opponent was going to teach this time was to cut, cut, cut.
In the previous fight, every time Shi Chishang used his sword, those bones acted like a prophet, taking the lead in cutting off Shi Chishang's attack. It was like two people fighting. One person was about to lift his leg, but the other person had already kicked him. On his thigh, it can be said that he has a complete understanding of the trajectory of his shots. He will strike first and directly disrupt the opponent's attack.
After fighting for more than a dozen rounds, Shi Chishang was already in danger, and he was hit by several swords in succession. This "Zhou Zi Jue" was simply disgusting. Shi Chishang felt like he was struggling in a fishing net. Just when he was about to swing his sword, the sword edge was already gone. Being entangled and blocked by network cables, 100% of your strength cannot be used at all.
Suppressing the annoyance in his heart, Shi Chi Shang concentrated on wielding the sword. Every time the Xie Xin Sword collided with the opponent's blade, his mind would capture a hint of the mystery of the Ji Zi Jue. It was precisely through this kind of hard work that he relied on to master the sword in front of him. Learn the eight formulas one by one.
This round of fierce battle lasted for nearly two hours. Even with the Xuanhuang Soul Seal constantly supplying soul power, Shi Chishang felt exhausted and almost fainted before he finally fully mastered the Jue Zi Jue and These bones were all repulsed.
This time, before the other party could retreat, Shi Chishang had already sat down on the ground, breathing heavily while running the black and yellow soul seal to regain his energy.
Just when Shi Chishang was recovering, the white mist in the formation suddenly dispersed and dissipated in the blink of an eye, revealing the bones holding swords that had besieged him previously.
Just when Chi Shang mistakenly thought that this was another wave of attacks, the sword-wielding bones turned around and walked into the cave behind the formation.
Shi Chishang was slightly startled when he saw this, and then he woke up and realized that he had passed the fourth level. In this way, as long as he passed the fifth level, he would be considered a secret disciple of White Bone Cave.
After thinking about this, Shi Chi Shang quickly followed the bones holding swords into the cave entrance without hesitation.
As soon as they entered, Shi Chishang saw the sword-wielding skeletons who had entered first and were divided into four rows, standing in the cave. In front of them, at the deepest part of the cave, was a stone platform with a piece of stone placed above it. Broken bones exuding endless ghostly aura.
The Bone Master in a robe was standing next to the stone platform. Seeing Shi Chi Shang come in, he said slowly and hoarsely: "The fifth test, pay homage to me, the founder of the White Bone Cave, three times, and swear to never abandon the White Bone Cave. Promise If you pass on the inheritance of White Bone Cave, you can pass this level and become my secret disciple of White Bone Cave."
Shi Chishang was stunned for a moment, looked at the white bones holding swords, walked carefully between them, and went straight to the bone master and the stone platform. He pondered: "Senior, are these the only requirements for the fifth level?"
"Not bad!" Master Bone nodded.
Shi Chishang came here this time to obtain the inheritance of the White Bone Cave, and the requirements just mentioned by Master Bone were not too harsh. It could be said that any sect would have such requirements, so he did not hesitate, knelt down on his knees, Bow three times in succession to the broken bones.
After Shi Chishang finished bowing three times, Master Bone suddenly reached out and took off his hat. Suddenly Shi Chishang's pupils shrank and he looked over in shock, because Master Bone's head was only left with a bare skull, flesh, blood, brain, eyeballs and so on. All disappeared, looking no different from the white bones holding swords before.
Thinking of this, Shi Chi Shang seemed to wake up and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the bones holding swords behind him.
Seeing him turn back, Master Bone tapped his skull lightly. Although he didn't open his mouth, his voice still sounded magically: "Don't be shocked, those bones are all descendants of my White Bone Cave."
Shi Chishang's heart sank and he said solemnly: "Senior, what is going on?"
"You should call me the Cave Master," Master Bone said coldly, and then his voice suddenly became more free and easy, "But it doesn't matter, since you have taught me the secret of my White Bone Cave, then you can also know about my White Bone Cave. source."
"I, the first founder of White Bone Cave, was an ordinary ghost cultivator. Once, I accidentally obtained a broken bone of a strong man in the underworld. From it, I understood the mystery of the fusion of underworld energy and the power of death, and created the domineering spirit that I have today. The world's "Netherworld Bone Sword Sutra"."
"The core of my White Bone Cave Sword Classic lies in the word "bone", which uses bone as a structure to carry the power of underworld energy and death." Master Bone looked at Shi Chishang, "For someone like you who has not yet condensed his soul body, You need to use your own physical skeleton as a carrier. For those like me who have already condensed their soul body, they need to condense a skeleton into their soul body."
"The deeper the cultivation level, the stronger the skeleton. When I die, the soul dissipates, but the skeleton will still exist." Master Bone patted his shoulder and said calmly, "This is also the responsibility of the descendants of all generations. If If you die in an accident, you need to leave the skeleton to the next generation to increase the number of sword holders in the Bone Sword Array."
Master Bone held up the broken bone on the stone platform with both hands, and his voice suddenly became more solemn: "Take it!"
Shi Chishang didn't know why, but he stretched out his hands as instructed and took the broken bone from Master Bone's hand.
"This bone is the identity symbol of the master of my White Bone Cave. The one who holds this bone is the master of my White Bone Cave. Therefore," Master Bone looked at Shi Chishang. With only his skull left, he could not see his expression. He could only There was a sense of relief in his voice, "From today on, you will be the new cave master of my Bone Cave."
Shi Chishang's eyes widened when he heard this. Even if he was already ranked among the top ten among the younger generation, looking at the world, with his cultivation in the late stage of body shaping, how could he be qualified to succeed the master of the White Bone Cave?
Master Bone ignored his shock, took out a ring from his sleeve and handed it to him, saying solemnly: "This ring contains the treasures of my White Bone Cave for generations. Among them, there are a few most important things, one of which is the White Bone Sword Formation." The core of control, you remember to refine it in time, it is also the natal sword of the third generation ancestor. I can’t figure out what the last one is for the time being, but you must keep it carefully and don’t let anyone take it away.”
Shi Chishang had already refined the ring, and his mind could sense all the things stored in the ring. He could not suppress the look of surprise in his eyes, because the materials stored in the ring were too huge. Stones, bones, skins, claws, teeth, etc. of top monster beasts.
And Shi Chishang also saw the three things that Master Bone said. The core of the sword array was a token engraved with bone characters, and the third-generation patriarch's natal sword was a long sword of pseudo-underworld weapon level.
As for the third thing, although Master Bone didn't describe it, Shi Chishang was still sure that it was what he was talking about, because this was the only thing in the ring that was wrapped in layers of countless seals and couldn't reveal any breath.
This is an animal claw, and there are thick blood stains on the broken area. However, due to the heavy restrictions and isolation, Shi Chishang cannot detect the authenticity of this animal claw.
Due to the urging of Master Bone, Shi Chishang had to take out the token for refining. At the moment of refining, his Yang Soul immediately had some kind of connection with the seventy-two sword-wielding bones behind him. As long as he wanted to A single thought can control those sword-wielding bones to fight.
After a brief try, Shi Chishang was about to put away the token when Master Bone suddenly held down his hand and said in a deep voice: "Now, I will officially hand over the Bone Cave to you. Next, disciple, you Let’s go out with my master first, I have some things to deal with.”
Hearing that Master Gu had already called himself master in his words, Shi Chishang smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that he hadn't even become a master yet, and his master was quite impatient.
