Since entering the low mountains, He Gu's traveling speed has slowed down a lot, and his footsteps have become lighter when he lands.
There has always been a loyal piece of advice circulated in the Demon-Suppressing Trial: the closer you get to the Demon-Suppressing Peak, the more careful you must be about the soil under your feet and the sneak attacks that may appear inexplicably, at any time!
He didn't want to be pulled down by a hand that suddenly came out, so he walked along the rocky areas along the way. If he had to choose a high place, he would try to choose a high place.
More than an hour later, he came to a small basin with a faint medicinal fragrance.
Looking around, a black elixir stood quietly in the center.
He Gu's eyes were immediately attracted.
Although he didn't take a close look, the fluctuations in the medicinal power on it told him that it was most likely a ground-level elixir!
There was deathly silence around the elixir, maybe because of the terrain, there was no wind, it seemed very safe.
Of course he didn't dare to think so.
Hiding behind a big rock, I held my breath and observed for a while, and then used my spiritual consciousness to conduct a carpet-like detection. Everything was still so calm.
There is no other way, the temptation of the earth-grade elixir is too great, why should He Gu show his background and plan to force himself to do it again.
At least the demons who may be hiding underground must be forced out first.
Rather than risking his life directly, he jumped onto a high stone pillar, summoned the flying sword and concentrated his Taoist skills.
Spiritual power poured out of his arms and poured into the flying sword. In less than a breath, the dark red spiritual flames had covered the entire surface of the flying sword.
The low-quality Crescent Moon Fire Sickle is a sustainable group skill that is very suitable for testing at the moment.
As He Gu slashed out with his sword, several circular fire sickles flew diagonally from top to bottom into the brown earth around the elixir, causing earth to turn and rocks to fly.
When the fifth crescent moon fire sickle was about to hit the ground, a sense of crisis from below suddenly crept into He Gu's mind, like a needle piercing his flesh.
Before he could lower his head, he saw from the corner of his eye a flash of blue light rushing towards him from below.
He Gu quickly jumped back and away from the stone pillar.
The moment his feet left the stone pillar, the blue light reached the position where he originally stood, shattering the stone pillar that was as wide as a man's arms.
The exploding energy storm scratched his face.
Without any time to think, He Gu, who was barely able to avoid it, did a few somersaults and landed a long distance away from the ground.
Almost as soon as he stood firm, two more blue lights hit him from the left and right.
This time he finally saw clearly how the blue light appeared, appearing out of thin air.
Although I had already heard about the unique fighting methods of the devil, I was still surprised to see it with my own eyes.
You must know that except for cultivators who own the domain space and can attack in any way within the rule space they control, other times the cultivator's attacks must pass through the body, a medium that cannot be skipped.
This is similar to the metallic spiritual seal he obtained, but in his last experiment he failed to figure out how to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth away from himself to form an attack.
A little surprised, he hurriedly stepped back.
Fortunately, the blue energy, like most Taoist skills, generally won't chase people around corners, so He Gu narrowly escaped once again.
The two blue lights collided and set off a small energy storm, causing dust to fly.
This time, He Gu simply retreated directly to the outside of the small basin, to a piece of stone ground seventy feet away from the elixir.
If you retreat any further, you will lose sight of where the elixir is.
"The demon of the Four Realms..."
Based on the three attacks just now, he now knew the opponent's cultivation level, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he did not relax his vigilance because of this. The four realms of the demon clan were comparable to the five realms of the human and demon clans, and they could often gain the upper hand in cross-level battles.
Under his guarded gaze, the dust previously stirred up dispersed, revealing the situation inside.
A rough and strange man with tattered clothes and dirt on his face was standing there with disheveled hair. Based on his physical features, he could tell that he was a middle-aged man.
There is a dark hole of similar size on the ground next to it.
The appearance of the weirdo is not much different from that of ordinary people. Perhaps because the demons pay attention to physical training, his body shape is stronger than that of ordinary people.
It can still be vaguely seen that this person's original clothes have a strong alien style. The clothes are mostly made of horns and skins from monster beasts, but the overall exquisiteness is not inferior to the silk brocade of the human race.
This demon may have been lying on the ground for too long, and his movements seemed a bit hard and unfamiliar. At this time, he was standing on the spot stretching his muscles and did not continue to pursue He Gu.
Naturally, He Gu would not wait for him to adjust. He used the Crescent Moon Fire Scythe again and flew two consecutive slashes towards the demon on the opposite side.
Then He Gu used the Fire Lotus Nine Steps Technique and followed the two fire sickles to approach the demon's position.
Facing the powerful attack from the first-year high school level, the demon did not show any panic, but instead had a disdainful sneer on his lips.
He raised his hands and grabbed the air one after another.
Suddenly, the aura of heaven and earth around the demon became active and boiling.
Roads of pure blue aura precipitated from the air, and streaks of blue light condensed and appeared out of thin air in front of him, lining up to meet the incoming crescent moon fire sickle just like He Gu had seen before.
Although the blue light is weaker than the Crescent Fire Scythe in terms of power, it is superior in numbers. After seven or eight blue lights passed, the two Crescent Fire Scythes were offset one after another.
The demon did not retreat but moved forward. He grabbed the blue light and continued to attack the oncoming He Gu. The whole process was at his fingertips and seemed effortless.
Dark red spiritual flames surged around his body, and He Gu quickly gathered a large amount of spiritual energy into the fists of his arms to unleash the Earth-shaking Fiery Fist.
At the same time, with a thought in his heart, he stimulated the fire spirit root that was fused with the Tao Yun of Virtual Fire, increasing the intensity of the fire poison.
Punch after punch was violently thrown out, shattering the flying blue lights one by one.
Three coquettish fire lotuses bloomed, and in a blink of an eye, the man was in front of the demon. He decisively punched the demon with a punch containing the greatest fire poison on his face.
Soon enough, a thick and hard blue light shield was quickly constructed and blocked in front of the demon in time.
The fist of dark red flames collided with the substantial blue light shield. It lasted only for a breath, and the blue light shield fell apart.
The fist that still had residual power continued to pound down.
However, without waiting for He Gu to show his joy, a new blue light shield appeared behind the shattered blue light shield.
The intensity was not reduced at all from the previous light shield, and there was no sign of imperfection due to hasty execution.
"Let's see how many turtle shells you can use!"
He Gu gritted his teeth and continued to smash his fist down, smashing the blue light shield again as expected. At this time, less than half of the power of his condensed Taoist skills was left.
But the next scene made his heart vomit blood.
After the light shield, there is still a brand new light shield!
"Barbarian... Barbarian boy, this may not be the first time you have fought against our tribe. Unfortunately, you may not be able to afford the price of awakening!"
The demon seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and his voice was hoarse and filled with a strange air.
I don't know if it's because of his strong body, but he wasn't too affected by the fire poison.
He obviously misunderstood He Gu, thinking that He Gu was a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers. He was so conceited that he rushed towards him to die without fully understanding the characteristics of the demons.
Although He Gu's move seemed a bit reckless, he did not fail to understand the information about the demon battle carefully.
He Gu had long known from books and his master that the demons had two combat systems at the same time.
In addition to being able to cultivate spiritual roots normally like humans and monsters, they also have unique racial talents and can directly borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a certain range as a means of attack.
It's just that he didn't expect that the racial talents of the demons could be used so unscrupulously, with no limitations at all.
Only then can we truly understand why the demons are so difficult to deal with and why they can fight beyond levels.
In terms of cultivation level, he is a big level higher than the demon opposite him, and his spiritual power is naturally much stronger than that of the demon.
But despite the demon's hooligan-like perverted racial talent, any of his Taoist attacks can theoretically be resisted.
The most important thing is that he can't sense any signs of power consumption from the opponent's aura. Combined with the test results of the Golden Spirit Seal he obtained before, he will be the first to suffer from this fight.
After all, every attack he makes corresponds to the consumption of spiritual power, and he cannot continue to use it without restraint.
Unless he can break through the defense and kill the opponent in a short period of time, the longer the delay, the higher the probability that he will be counterattacked.
He chose to take the risk to get close this time for the purpose of practical testing. The confidence is that he can also achieve the cheating mode like the demons, and it is not without purpose.
Without panicking, He Gu still punched down his fists, and he did so with both fists.
"Hmph, it seems you are really looking for death! Well, it's been a long time since I tasted the taste of the barbarians, so I'm going to make you an appetizer today."
As he spoke, the demon behind the light shield took out a precious light scimitar at some point and began to concentrate on his Tao skills.
All the previous methods were just the result of his racial abilities, which did not prevent him from using another set of spiritual root combat system methods.
Being able to use two attack methods at the same time is also a unique advantage of the demons!
Unsurprisingly, He Gu smashed another light shield, but He Gu did not attack the next light shield, but continued to use the Fire Lotus Nine Steps technique to swim away to the side.
His cultivation level is higher than that of his opponent, and his speed is naturally another advantage.
In addition, the level of body skills he has mastered has reached the top level, and he can perform it with all his strength faster than the average cultivator of the Five Realms.
By combining the two, he believed he could catch the opponent off guard.
This was another source of confidence for He Gu to enter the fight just now. He could escape even without using the Golden Spirit Seal's trump card.
The only method in the world that can't be broken is fast. Now he needs to use the Fire Lotus Nine Steps Movement Technique to its extreme to obtain the maximum movement speed before proceeding to the next step.
While walking around, the left hand under the black robe was also secretly accumulating secret skills.
Deliberately confusing the demon and distracting him, He Gu deliberately bypassed the demon and quickly stepped towards the location of the elixir, creating the illusion of taking the opportunity to seize the elixir.
All the details are done to the extreme for the next killer shot!
If he misses, he tends to retreat temporarily. After all, he was not sure if other sect members would suddenly come here if he waited too long, so the method of the Golden Spirit Seal was destined not to be exposed.
He can think of coming here first to gain greater profits, and he also believes that other capable disciples are not stupid.
"Hmph! Cunning barbarian."
Seeing He Gu suddenly running towards the elixir, the demon turned around and cursed.
Then he removed the light shield behind him, stopped the Taoist skill he was about to perform, and instead condensed a thick defensive shield on his back.
The next moment, through the unique ability of the demons, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was used to gather a horizontal pillar of energy behind him. When He Gu glanced back in shock, the pillar hit his back like a bell.
In an instant, the demon gained a burst of speed and pursued He Gu like lightning.
The distance between the two is shrinking rapidly.
He Gu was a little stunned. He didn't expect that the combination of the two combat systems could be played like this.
Calm down and think about it for a while before you realize the benefits of doing this.
Use a full-strength attack from one power system to act on yourself to gain astonishing speed, and at the same time use all-out defense from another power system to offset most of the damage caused to yourself.
In addition, demons generally specialize in physical fitness, so the actual residual damage transmitted to the body becomes extremely small.
As long as you don't overuse it for too long, the rewards far outweigh the losses.
Moreover, due to the unique ability of the demons to be used out of thin air, it is perfectly possible for one person to operate independently.
It's a very simple principle. It can also be realized by a human cultivator, but it requires the cooperation of two people, and the effect is basically useless when it is not critical.
He finally learned another trick.
He Gu's rush towards the elixir was just a cover-up. The other party obviously relied on it to chase him so far after knowing his strength in the Five Realms.
But he didn't expect this kind of reliance.
At this moment, the five fire lotuses under his feet had reached the limit, and the earth-grade elixir was just a few feet away in front of him. Based on the speed of the two parties, he estimated that there was a chance to get the medicine and leave first.
After some consideration, he gave up this temporary idea and maintained the original plan.
The reason is that the movements he performs with all his strength consume extremely spiritual energy, almost every moment.
The opponent's method only requires the formation of a defensive shield every once in a while, and the power source mainly relies on direct transfer of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for free, and the final support time will most likely be longer than his.
When the time comes, the two of them running around on the island will easily cause other unnecessary incidents.
He thought for only a moment, and after making up his mind, He Gu immediately pretended to grit his teeth and fight for it again, stretched out his right hand and rushed towards the elixir on the ground.
The demon chasing after He Gu saw that the elixir was about to be taken away, and he suddenly became a little anxious.
It's not that he thinks he can't get it back, but he cares that this elixir is still a few months away from meeting the conditions for his use. If it is touched by He Gu today, even if it is recovered again, the effect will be greatly reduced.
It seems that he was a little careless. He didn't expect that the young barbarian in front of him actually had a special movement technique that could superimpose speed, and his level was quite high.
At this time, the speed he was carrying was still very fast. On this basis, it would be as difficult as heaven to hit the defensive shield behind him again.
"Barbarian boy, stop it!"
The demon shouted loudly, gritted his teeth and retracted the defensive shield on his back, and mobilized the spiritual power in his body to use his body skills to gain extra acceleration.
At the same time, the Baoguang scimitar in his hand rapidly absorbed spiritual power, preparing to get closer and use attacks to force He Gu to stop.
Surprises came one after another. After noticing something strange behind him, He Gu also had a higher understanding of the use of the two power systems.
The speed increased again, just as the devil expected, and he got close to He Gu's back before He Gu's right hand touched the elixir, and then slashed down without hesitation.
And He Gu, who was half leaning over, also made a new move at this moment.
Turning around, his left hand stretched out from his wide black sleeves, and a dazzling red light burst out at this moment.
Then it shot out between the lightning and flint.
"Death!"
The demon who was so close was stunned at first, and then showed a look of horror, and the sword swing in his hand was slightly delayed.
Calmly glanced at the change in the demon's face, He Gu turned around and grabbed the elixir on the ground, and rolled forward without looking.
As the demon's sword missed, a piercing hole of scorched blood was pierced through the heart by the dazzling red light.
The red light remains unabated and shines straight into the sky.
It brings an eye-catching stream of light to the already gray and bleak sky.
Some were surprised, some regretful, and some unwilling.
But the distance was too close and the time was too short, and he couldn't make a save at all.
The tall body fell heavily, causing a cloud of dust to roll.
