The Fourth Financial Crisis

Before the black-robed sword cultivator launched the sneak attack, the battlefield had been almost cleaned by the Dongshanju cultivator.

The black-robed swordsman originally planned to pick up the opponent's storage bag and run away. He was using protective spells to guard against sneak attacks from enemies around him, but he never expected that the real danger would come from right in front of him.

The sudden burst of demonic energy exploded the black-robed monk's body-protecting energy to pieces on the spot.

"Magic means! You are a demon cultivator!"

As soon as the black-robed monk finished the first half of his sentence, an evil skeletal spear struck him from behind with the sound of breaking wind.

As the protective aura was broken, the circulation of spiritual energy in the black-robed monk's body was completely disordered, and the magic shield that originally protected him also automatically collapsed. Facing the sneak attack from behind, he could only use all his strength to activate his own life. The flying sword, the crimson sword light flew out in response, firmly resisting the sneak attack of the evil spear.

It has to be said that this black-robed sword cultivator dared to be a fisherman and still had a few brushes in his hands. He actually made a preemptive strike and forced the skeleton spear back.

"it's useless!"

But the attacker sneered, and several skulls inlaid with skeleton spears opened their mouths at the same time, shooting out countless black awns condensed by demonic energy.

Although these black lights are coming like a violent storm, they are not very powerful. If the black-robed sword cultivator is in good condition, he can stop all these black lights just by relying on the protective aura without even using protective spells.

However, the body-protecting aura of the black-robed swordsman had just been shattered by demonic means. Facing the all-pervasive black light, he had no choice but to do anything. Countless small transparent holes were poked into his body on the spot, and a large amount of blood seeped from the wounds. come out.

"ah--!"

With a shrill scream, the black-robed sword cultivator completely lost the breath of life, and his Fire Cloud Fine Gold Flying Sword also fell heavily to the ground.

This person never dreamed that even though he had been so cautious, he would still overturn his car on the battlefield outside the territory. Before he died, he also saw the enemy who killed him——

A masked monk wearing gray robes.

Seriously speaking, this cannot be blamed on the black-robed sword cultivator for being careless.

With the magic shields stacked all over his body and the top-grade Fire Cloud Fine Gold Sword in his hand, if he hadn't encountered an extremely rare demon cultivator, even if there was a Qi Refining Dzogchen waiting for a sneak attack nearby, he would never be able to kill him easily in an instant. He, at least, has room to struggle.

But they never expected that when no one was paying attention, a demonic cultivator secretly tampered with the corpse of Dongshanju monk, turned it into a corpse puppet, and exploded the corpse puppet at the critical moment.

Moreover, this demon cultivator has very rich combat experience.

With the advantage of taking the initiative, he did not use his strongest killing move to fight the swordsman head-on. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's protective aura being dispersed to kill the opponent instantly with the minimum cost, even using his magic power. Not much wasted.

Just this ability to adapt to the situation is not something ordinary cultivators can have. It can be said that the black-robed sword cultivator did not lose unjustly!

Seeing that the black-robed monk was completely dead, the demon cultivator casually packed up the belongings of the three unlucky monks, then glanced at the black-robed monk's corpse with a hint of regret, and murmured: "Although I really want to turn you into a corpse." Puppet, but there is a little guy who escaped in the middle stage of Qi Refining over there waiting for me to clean up. I hope that when I come back, your body has not been destroyed by others..."

After saying that, the demon cultivator turned into a strange black light and galloped towards the east. The little guy in the middle stage of Qi refining in his mouth was obviously Yang Lu who had just taken advantage of the chaos to escape!

In the world of Kyushu cultivation, Demonic Cultivator is definitely the unpopular sect among the unpopular sects.

Under normal circumstances, the cultivation speed of a cultivator is completely determined by the spiritual root qualifications. There are only a few ways to bypass the constraints of the spiritual root and increase the cultivation speed. The most common method is the Golden Wheel of Merit, or forming a Tao with a high-grade spiritual root monk. Couples do double cultivation.

As for slightly off-the-grid methods, there are also the techniques of harvesting and replenishing, or forbidden techniques such as the Gengjin Body Transformation Technique, while magic cultivation is a side method among side methods.

According to ancient legends in the Kyushu cultivation world, the magic cultivation techniques originated from the ancient demon clan.

Just like the Jiuzhou Cultivation World is managed by the Kyushu Heavenly Way, it is said that the Demonic World where the demons live is also managed by the Demonic World’s Heavenly Way.

Through a few words recorded in ancient immortal books, modern cultivators speculate that the nature of the Heavenly Way in the Demon Realm should be completely opposite to that of the Kyushu Heavenly Way. Just as the Jiuzhou Cultivators can obtain merit by doing good deeds, the demons in the Demon Realm can obtain merit by accumulating sins or committing evil. Killing The more they do and the more bad things they do, the stronger the demon cultivator’s talent for cultivation becomes.

Of course, this kind of speculation is not the only point of view in the cultivation world.

For example, the famous cultivation economist Bo Nanke believes that the so-called ancient immortal classics are likely to be forged by later generations of cultivators.

According to the records of the "Ancient Immortal Classics", the ancient demon army had a strict internal hierarchy and a strict command system. It seemed to have a complete social class and a ruling machine that could operate normally.

However, the demons' extreme preference for killing is inherently anti-social. Unless they kill each other thousands of miles away, they will not be able to form a stable organizational structure. How can they assemble the so-called demon army that invades the ancient world of cultivation?

This is not in line with the basic principles of game theory at all!

Based on this, Senior Bo Nanke believed that "the Demon Clan's Heavenly Way is opposite to the Kyushu Heavenly Way" and "the Demon Clan organized an army to invade the Kyushu Cultivation World". One of these two widely circulated ancient legends must have been fabricated by future generations. It is impossible to establish both at the same time.

Although Bo Nanke's theoretical logic is very smooth, it has an unexplainable fatal flaw: because there are indeed a small number of very strange demonic inheritances in the Kyushu cultivation world!

When you first start practicing these demonic skills, not only are they less powerful than the yellow-level skills, but the speed of practice is also extremely slow, and it is even more difficult to advance than the heaven-level skills. They can be called rubbish skills among rubbish skills.

However, as the demon cultivators continue to create evil, the quality of their techniques will gradually be enhanced. Not only will their power increase significantly, but their practice speed will also increase simultaneously.

It is said that if you practice to the deepest level, these demonic techniques will not only have the power of the Tianji techniques, but also have a progress comparable to the yellow-level techniques, and the effect is even more outrageous than the forbidden techniques such as the Gengjin Body Transformation Technique.

This characteristic is completely consistent with ancient legends!

Despite all the advantages, demonic cultivators have never been able to become the mainstream in the world of cultivation. The main reason is that the demonic cultivation methods are incompatible with the heavenly laws of Kyushu. If the demonic cultivators wantonly kill people in the world of cultivation in Kyushu, karma will soon enter the body and become a complete A demon who has lost his mind.

If the demonic cultivator wants to cause enough killings without causing the backlash of the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces, he can only be active in lawless places that cannot be managed by the Heavenly Dao, such as various secret realms of heaven and earth.

Among them, the extraterritorial battlefield where the Demonic Heavenly Way and the Nine Provinces Heavenly Way are mixed are most suitable for demon cultivators to practice.

Ordinary monks who kill people on battlefields outside the territory can only receive the heavy reward of heavenly merit. However, if a demon cultivator kills someone on a battlefield outside the territory, they can even improve the quality of their own skills, which is equivalent to doubling the reward for killing. If the demon cultivator's His fighting skills are high enough, and he may even theoretically have the potential to become a legendary demon.

It's a pity that the secret realm of heaven and earth where you can kill at will is like a copy of the game and is not open to the outside world at any time.

Therefore, even if the demonic monks seize every opportunity to create evil, it will be difficult to quickly improve the quality of their skills.

Over the years, there have been only a handful of monks who have even practiced magic skills to a small level. In history, the only person who has practiced magic skills to a great level is the legendary demon Fang Yuan more than two thousand years ago.
