Chapter 220 This Person Looks Like a Person (8000)
When Xu Bai's figure disappeared, the space fell into silence.
Behind Mu Zongsi, Emperor Chu walked in slowly.
"Leaving?"
Mu Zongsi nodded and said nothing.
"Only half a month, I hope it's in time." Emperor Chu put his hands behind his back and turned to leave.
Mu Zongsi did not leave. He found a place to sit down, looking at the huge circular pattern in front of him, and fell into a long meditation.
...
Xu Bai only felt dizzy, and then found that the surrounding scenery had changed. Soon, he came to an unfamiliar space.
All around was black soil, and there was no bright sunshine in the sky, but only a dark red.
A round thing like the moon was hanging on it, but it was a blood-red disk, and the light was irradiated by the moon-like disk.
Familiar scenes, familiar sky, and familiar blood-red, all told Xu Bai that he came to Yaogui City again.
"Next, it should be familiar pain." Xu Bai thought so.
He was ready. After all, he had experienced this kind of pain when he went to Rengui City and Yaogui City before, so he was mentally prepared before he came.
But after standing there for a long time, the pain did not appear.
Xu Bai knocked his head with his hand, which did not seem to be very scientific.
"Could it be that after two experiences, my threshold has become higher?"
Although he did not know what was going on, he had this guess in his mind. This thing was very similar to a man's first time.
The first time was always very fast, but as time went on and the number of times increased, the threshold slowly increased.
What?
Can't be raised?
See a doctor.
Since the problem from last time did not occur, Xu Bai did not take it seriously. That kind of pain did not come, which should be a very fortunate thing, but Xu Bai felt a little disappointed.
If it happened a few more times, if his progress bar could evolve again, it would be perfect.
Although it would hurt for a while, it would only hurt for a while, just bear it, but looking at the current situation, he has no chance.
"I only have half a month. For now, I'd better find the demon heart as soon as possible."
"But how can I find it? Mu Zongsi once said that if you want to find the demon heart, you have to rely on this knife."
"This knife can sense the location of the demon heart. How can I sense it?"
Xu Bai thought in his heart, holding the handle of Xie Tong's knife with his hand, stroking it gently, and began to try.
The true energy flowed through his palm and into the body of Xie Tong's knife, but it didn't work at all.
There was no induction as Mu Zongsi said, and there was no other abnormality. It was ordinary, just like an ordinary knife.
At this moment, Xu Bai was at a loss.
He was now in a dangerous and unfamiliar place, and the method he said before didn't work. If he couldn't sense the demon heart, what should he do?
"Pull it out and see."
After a little thought, Xu Bai planned to pull out the knife first. Maybe it was because it was hidden in the scabbard, so this knife didn't sense it.
Thinking of this, he held the handle and pulled out Xie Tong.
Just after it was pulled out, there was a sense of chaos on the black blade, which began to spread gradually. These were all condensed after the death of those monsters.
This blade itself was made by countless monsters. When they merged together, each monster became a consciousness.
When they were entangled together, it became chaos. In addition, this blade killed countless people, and the chaos became deeper and deeper.
If other people took it in their hands, they would be invaded by this chaos without the corresponding control method and become a person who only knew how to kill.
But Xu Bai was different. His transformation was reason and chaos, which gradually blended into madness.
With this blade, it was a bonus for him.
"This chaos is a bit big, stop it!"
Feeling that the chaos of the blade was gradually spreading, if it continued to spread like this, it would probably be felt by other monsters.
So Xu Bai's mind moved, and under the guidance of the true energy, the chaos on the blade gradually gathered until it disappeared, looking like an ordinary knife.
After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, when he transferred his true energy to Xie Tong again, he finally felt the so-called induction.
This induction was like a guide from the unknown, guiding him in a direction, telling him that there was the most important thing in that direction.
"So this is the so-called induction?" Xu Bai inserted Xie Tong into the scabbard, but did not insert it completely. He only pulled it out an inch, and the induction still existed.
"This is just right, and it won't attract too much attention."
If he just pulled out the knife and walked with it, it would be too conspicuous, but now it is only an inch out of the body, which is much better.
Xu Bai knew that time was running out, and after he had a method, he did not stay any longer, did not waste time, and walked in the direction of the induction.
...
It was very safe along the way, without encountering any weirdness or danger. The surroundings were extremely wide, and there was no end in sight, all of which were charred land and blood-red light.
As he walked, Xu Bai saw that there was finally a difference in front of him. It was no longer endless, but a dense forest.
This forest was different from the forests in the human world. The forests in the human world were lush and green, at least with color.
But the woods here were completely dark, and both the tree trunks and leaves were a terrifying dark black.
Just looking from the outside, the forest looks like a huge mouth, waiting for food to fall into the trap.
In ancient times, people often said four words, "Don't enter the forest", and there are also these four words in the art of war, which means to be careful of ambushes in the forest, after all, the truth cannot be seen clearly in the forest.
But looking at the dark forest in front of him, Xu Bai thought of a folk story he knew.
Few people know this story, and he also heard it from the older generation.
In the forest at night, all kinds of elves and ghosts live.
According to legend, there was a scholar who was rushing to take an exam. Because he was in a hurry, he walked at night and walked into the forest, and never came out again.
Some people said that he was squinted by ghosts, and some said that he was eaten by wolves, tigers and leopards. In general, he was in danger.
"Now, is this situation telling me that there is something in it?" Xu Bai touched his chin and looked at the forest carefully.
If he followed his previous thoughts, in this case, he could fly over or go around, but now it is not possible. The forest is endless.
If he went around, he would waste a lot of time. He only had half a month, so walking in a straight line was the fastest.
Flying over would not work either. If he flew, he would be too big a target.
Imagine that in an open space, a bird flew by, and anyone could see it.
"Then you have to let me go in for a walk?" Xu Bai held the evil pupil, made up his mind, and walked towards the black woods.
After entering the woods, he felt a chill coming, which gave him goose bumps.
Ordinarily, with his current strength, he would not get goose bumps even in the coldest weather, but after entering the woods, he felt as if something was staring at him.
"Well... good, it's great to meet it as soon as I come here." This time, Xu Bai came in a simple and direct way.
His soul gradually spread, swept through the woods, and soon found the reason.
In front of the woods, far away, there was a small ruined temple.
To be precise, it was really small, probably only knee-high.
Xu Bai had seen temples like this before, specifically the land temples he had seen in his previous life.
It was a square place, about knee-high, with a statue of a god inside.
The feeling of being watched came from this small temple.
"I have something important to do today, so I won't play any tricks with you."
Xu Bai held up the evil pupil and walked directly towards the small temple.
He had just arrived and encountered something, and it was in this monster city, so the thing was naturally a monster.
If it were the same as before, Xu Bai might have tried to deal with it, but it was different now.
Since the other party had discovered him, he couldn't stay, not to mention that he had to hurry up and be direct.
When Xu Bai was walking, he used the Phantom Shadow Method, and in less than a breath of time, he appeared next to the small temple.
In front of the small temple, three incense sticks were offered, and at this moment, there was still a little green smoke floating.
When Xu Bai arrived, the feeling of being watched was even more profound, and he was absolutely sure that it came from the small temple in front of him.
"Pretending!"
Xu Bai sneered in his heart, pulled out the evil pupil, and slashed at his head.
This was the first time he used this knife. When the knife was chopped, the cracks on the evil pupil knife suddenly became more obvious, turning into countless fragments, exactly the same as the Hundred Fissures.
But although they looked similar, their essence was embarrassingly different.
Chaos!
The terrifying chaos spread, and on each fragment, there were screams like ghosts and wolves howling. When these screams gathered, it was like a devil's sound piercing the brain, making people's souls shattered.
"Kill him!"
Xu Fan used the three ultimate swords and knives. The bright white light covered each fragment, rotating and forming a terrifying strangling array.
"Boom!"
Under this terrifying power, the small temple in front of him turned into a ruin in just an instant. Not only that, within a radius of 100 miles, the black forest turned into debris all over the sky.
Xu Bai turned around, put away the knife, and ran!
The three actions merged into one, without any pause, flowing like clouds and water.
It was so skilled that it was terrifying.
Just after he escaped from the place in front of him, a giant hand suddenly emerged from the soil.
This hand was blood red, without skin covering, and blood vessels and red muscles could be seen. It was extremely huge, and the palm alone was as big as a millstone.
"It's so powerful just after arriving. What kind of strength is this thing?"
Just as he destroyed the small temple in front of him, he did not feel the light of gaze disappear, but instead felt a sense of danger.
This sense of danger was not as terrifying as the white-robed prime minister Liu Yue, and he should not have entered the level of sainthood.
But it was definitely not a simple thing that could threaten him.
So he did not hesitate and ran decisively.
There is no time to fight now.
The only regret he felt was that this wave had just been installed, and he did not expect to encounter a tough guy.
Thinking back to his rise from grassroots to the present, he could write a novel and be the protagonist of the novel.
But this time, he seemed to have become a supporting role, or a villain.
Aren't all villains like this?
According to the plot, before the villain could install himself, he was slapped in the face.
After the giant blood-red hand appeared, it was followed by the head and body.
When this thing completely emerged from the ground, Xu Fan felt that it was a bit big.
The entire black forest was shattered by the aftereffects of the appearance of this tall figure.
Instead, there was a figure several dozen meters tall.
There was no skin on his body, only flesh and blood vessels. From Xu Bai's perspective, this guy was not wearing any clothes.
Of course, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that it was difficult.
The tall demon roared to the sky, and Xu Bai felt that the space around him suddenly became stagnant.
"Where are you from, little demon?"
"This place of mine only requires you to offer three incense sticks, and you can leave safely."
"You directly destroyed my small temple, are you looking for death?"
Xu Bai heard these roars and remembered that he had changed his appearance before coming in. In short, he did not look like a human now.
Behind Xu Bai, there was a pair of large wings, which looked more like a bird demon that had died and turned into a weird thing.
He has a special feeling for big wings. He played a game before, which was obviously a classic fairy-tale type, but it had big wings added to it. This is a joke.
"I... I seem to have done something impulsive because of the problem of being in a hurry, and it has become more and more troublesome."
Because he was in a hurry, he didn't pay attention to these things and directly destroyed the small temple with a knife.
Unexpectedly, he only needed to offer three incense sticks to leave safely.
This matter has nothing to do with him.
Who knew that this thing was so simple?
He didn't have time to check it carefully, because he was in a hurry.
When Gaoda Yaogui saw that Xu Bai didn't reply, he sniffed lightly, and soon, a surprised expression appeared on his terrifying face.
"This is... the breath of humans, you are a human! You are someone who can enter Yaogui City!"
These words were said not because Gaoda Yaogui saw through Xu Bai's appearance, but because Xu Bai had just chopped the knife.
Drawing a knife means leaking the breath.
After sensing that his small temple was destroyed, the tall demon felt only inexplicable anger, and before he could think about it, he broke through the soil.
But he didn't expect that he would find something wrong when he calmed down.
If it weren't for that knife, he really couldn't feel it, but that knife had already revealed Xu Bai's breath.
This is a person!
A very scary person!
Why is it scary?
This is the first case in history that can enter and exit the demon city safely.
"Catch you!" The tall demon just reacted and made up his mind.
He must stop the man in front of him, not for anything else, the man in front of him can enter and exit the demon city safely, there must be some way.
If he catches him, forces him to tell the method, and then masters the method, he can leave this place at that time.
Thinking of this, the tall demon raised his hand and grabbed Xu Bai.
The surrounding space fell into a strange stagnant state, Xu Bai's mobility was reduced by 90%, and his speed has become extremely slow.
And this hand has a strange blood-red light. If caught, it will definitely not end well.
"You haven't become a saint, right?" Xu Bai asked when he had time.
The tall demon was slightly stunned, not understanding why he had such a question, and even the movement of his hand slowed down.
Xu Bai saw this scene, although the tall demon did not answer, but he already understood what was going on.
Since he had this expression, it proved that he had not yet become a saint, then... everything would be simple.
Xu Bai licked his lips and held the hilt tightly.
"You are looking for death, you can't blame others."
At the same time, looking at the palm that landed in front of him, he waved his evil pupil.
The next moment, it turned into countless fragments, covering the entire sky.
Each fragment was accompanied by terrifying chaos and dazzling sword light.
Not only that, behind Xu Bai, gold and gray-white continued to interweave, and a sense of madness eroded towards the tall demon.
The three unique swords and knives - turning the sky!
This move is the strongest one, and it is the second time he has used it.
The first time it was used was when dealing with Liu Yue, the existence at the peak of the Sainthood, which made this knife look ordinary.
But it is different now, this tall and strange monster does not have such a strong strength.
Flipping the sky itself is a supernatural ninth-grade skill, coupled with the coexistence of yin and yang and the evil pupil knife.
When several skills merged into one, the first thing Xu Bai felt was that half of the true energy in his body was drained.
Even if it is a supernatural first-grade, plus the true energy in the kidneys, it can only swing two flipping swords in a short time.
Of course, it is enough.
The blade light on each fragment is like a scorching sun, and when the blade light converges, no other colors can be seen.
The sky has become a dazzling white.
The whole body of the tall and strange monster was hit by the blade light and was gradually broken.
"Impossible!"
It roared with unwillingness in its eyes.
This shouldn't be!
It can feel that the strength of the person in front of it is definitely not as strong as it is, why can it burst out with such a strong fighting power?
The tall demon turned around and tried to escape. He was now covered in wounds. In just a blink of an eye, he had been severely injured.
But before he could escape, he suddenly felt a headache, and then his eyes became dull.
The sky turned upside down, the combination of internal and external, the dual attack, instantly turned into ashes.
Starting from the head of the tall monster, all the way to the feet, it finally turned into ashes all over the sky.
Xu Bai held the knife, not because he wanted to pose, but because he felt like he was half-empty in an instant, which made him very uncomfortable.
To use a very simple analogy, when you are full of energy and suddenly half of it is drained, you will feel very uncomfortable.
"So now I can walk sideways in the extraordinary world?" Xu Bai thought.
Originally, he only had the first level of Extraordinary, and could fight at most four or five levels. With this sword, he could fight around seven levels.
But thanks to the skill of the ninth level of extraordinary swordsmanship, he was actually able to rely on this skill and the coexistence of swords and yin and yang to lively rise to the ninth level of extraordinary level.
Of course, this so-called extraordinary ninth level only has two swords, and they are relatively weak.
After all, the effect is achieved with the help of various improvements. If you really encounter a ninth-level extraordinary existence, you may still be unable to defeat it.
"Don't think too much, leave quickly first."
The true energy was slowly recovering, but Xu Bai had no intention of staying. He cast the phantom technique in one direction and left quickly.
The power of the sword just now was too strong, and it was so radiant that it was difficult not to be noticed by others.
Therefore, he did not stay long and left this place first to avoid falling into greater danger.
Soon, Xu Bai disappeared.
…
Facts have proved that Xu Bai sometimes thinks too much.
There are so many cities in Yaogui City, its area is extremely vast, and now it is a wilderness. Even if there is a lot of movement here, he will not notice it unless he happens to encounter it.
As Xu Bai ran all the way, he used the phantom technique to its extreme. The speed was extremely fast, and he could cover an extremely long distance in the blink of an eye.
Following that feeling, the journey was smooth, and other than the tall and strange thing we encountered at the beginning, we didn't encounter anything else.
After walking for nearly two hours, he finally stopped and slowed down.
The front is no longer empty, a mottled ancient city appears in front of Xu Bai.
"Finally we've come to the topic."
The evil eye on Xu Bai's waist was still pulled out an inch, and the feeling in his heart told him that the evil heart was in the ancient city not far ahead.
This feeling is very strong.
Xu Bai looked at the big wings behind him, took a deep breath, and walked towards the ancient city.
As long as he doesn't use his sword skills, only the monsters at the saint level can detect it, and other monsters can't find it.
But there are restrictions in this world. There are only nine people who can become saints. After that, they will die unexpectedly due to various coincidences.
There are nine people in the human world, and naturally there are nine people in Yaogui City.
There are so many cities here, it's impossible to meet a saint-level monster by such a coincidence, right?
Thinking like this, he had already arrived in front of this ancient city.
In front of the ancient city, two strange monsters were guarding the place.
When Xu Bai approached, the two monsters did not stop him and allowed him to walk in. He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his method of disguise was quite effective.
After entering, the streets were empty and surrounded by monsters and monsters operating various stalls. It looked no different from a human market.
But Xu Bai knew in his heart that if he revealed his true identity now, these monsters would immediately show their claws.
Weirdness is just weird, and he naturally hates all kinds of living beings.
Even if they were monsters who became weird after their death, even if the living monsters entered here, they would be no different from their enemies.
Xu Bai maintained this appearance, no one cared about him, and he was happy.
Holding the evil eye, Xu Bai searched according to the feeling in his heart.
Not long after, he stopped again.
Looking at the luxurious mansion not far away, he frowned tightly.
The final feeling was right in front of this mansion, but he didn't act rashly.
On the mansion, there are three words written on it: City Lord's Mansion.
It is obvious that this is the person in charge of this city.
Not knowing the opponent's strength, he did not enter easily.
The distance of half a month is neither long nor short, Xu Bai thought, so he had to find a place first to observe.
Standing at the corner of a street, the movement of the city lord's palace could just be seen.
In front of the city lord's mansion, there was an endless stream of monsters coming in and out, making it look extremely busy.
The monsters who entered were in a hurry and came out soon. After coming out, they all looked like they were shaking their heads and sighing.
Xu Bai observed it for a while, touched his chin, and thought secretly for a moment. Finally, he left the alleyway and followed a monster that came out of it.
After the monster came out, it also sighed and walked a long way. Finally, it came to a room, opened the door, and walked in.
Xu Bai stopped at the door of the room, looked around, and found that this monster lived in a very remote place.
After thinking carefully, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Not long after, the door was opened, and Yaogui, who had just entered, looked at Xu Bai with a puzzled expression.
"Who are you?"
He looked at the monster in front of him, which he had never seen before, and felt a little strange. He had never been in contact with the person in front of him.
However, he only asked these three words, because the next moment, he felt a confusion in his soul, and then lost consciousness.
Xu Bai walked in and snapped his fingers: "Close the door."
The demon controlled by the soul turned around and closed the door.
Xu Bai found a place to sit down, crossed his legs and said, "Tell me, what's going on in the City Lord's Mansion? Why are there so many demons and ghosts coming in and out there?"
Simple and direct.
Since he wants to ask something, soul control is naturally indispensable.
For demons and ghosts of this level, there is no need for too much trouble.
The controlled demon and ghost raised his head, his face was as dull as wood.
After hearing Xu Bai's question, he answered directly.
"The daughter of the city lord was finally born today, but she got a serious illness after she was born."
"Wait!" Xu Bai interrupted immediately after hearing the first sentence: "What did you say? Give birth to a daughter?"
When he heard this, he felt something was wrong. In his understanding, these demons and ghosts should not be able to give birth, right?
After death, they become weird and absolutely cannot reproduce. Even if there is a fetus in the belly when they die, they will become weird and cannot give birth to the fetus.
When the controlled demon and ghost heard this, they answered honestly.
"We don't know what happened, but she was born."
"But after she was born, the baby girl became extremely weak. Then... she looked for us, the demons who are good at healing, but we couldn't find the reason."
"The city lord said that she can only use the demon heart she got before to stabilize the baby girl's condition, but as long as the demon heart leaves, the situation will worsen."
At this point, the demon stopped talking because he only knew so much.
Xu Bai's eyes lit up slightly, and he heard the word "demon heart".
This thing is what he found.
What he sensed just now was in the city lord's mansion, but he didn't expect it to be used like this.
Thinking of this, a plan was born in Xu Bai's mind.
Xu Bai asked a lot of questions, including various information about this demon, and various etiquette after meeting the city lord.
Finally, he waved his hand, and the demon in front of him was completely soulless and lost his breath.
"In this case, I'll go in and take a look first."
Thinking of this, Xu Bai seized the time and walked towards the city lord's mansion.
…
At this time, there were still many demons coming in and out of the City Lord's Mansion, but there were fewer demons than before. After all, there were many demons with medical skills in this city, but at this frequency, they were almost there.
Xu Bai had already turned into the demon before and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, there were two teams of demons guarding. When they saw the demon Xu Bai came back, they looked at each other and said nothing.
After Xu Bai went in, he followed the demon who went to treat the disease in front of him and came to a room smoothly.
The door of the room was closed. After a while, the door opened and a demon shook its head and walked out.
Xu Bai could hear a crying sound coming from inside.
The demons had already started to line up and walk towards the room, walking in and out. After a while, it was Xu Bai's turn.
When Xu Bai walked in, he saw a beautiful woman holding a baby girl and rocking her gently.
There was a black air swirling on the baby girl's face, and in the woman's hand, there was a fist-sized heart, which was not beating and looked rosy.
"This woman should be the city lord."
Xu Bai thought to himself, and walked forward and bowed: "Meet City Lord Sun."
The city lord's name is Sun Lan, a third-grade extraordinary being.
To be honest, at this level, Xu Bai could kill her with one hand, but he did not act rashly for the time being.
If this city lord is connected to other cities, he may face endless pursuit after something happens.
No one can predict this matter, so it is better to be safe.
City Lord Sun has a pair of sheep horns on his head. After seeing Xu Bai, he was slightly surprised: "Didn't you see it before and said there was no way?"
At their level, their memory is naturally very strong, so they naturally know that the demon Xu Bai pretended to be had been here before.
Xu Bai continued, "Just now I said there was no way, but after thinking about it carefully for a while, I have found a way."
When City Lord Sun heard this, he showed joy on his face and quickly handed the baby girl over: "Sir, if you can cure her, you will have unparalleled power in this city."
After hearing that she could be cured, she even changed her address.
Xu Bai nodded, took the baby girl in his hands, and looked down at her.
Although he was pretending to see a doctor, his eyes stayed on the heart.
The evil pupil was hidden between his waist and thigh, covered by clothes, and slightly opened an inch.
He could feel that this heart was his ultimate goal.
But he did not move rashly now. He glanced at the card on City Lord Sun's waist.
This card can activate the circular pattern, which is the key to get out.
His mental method is only extraordinary, and he cannot use soul control, so he has to use a roundabout way.
He must get the heart and the card, and he can't cause too much sensation.
Then, first of all, we have to use a deceptive method.
Thinking of this, he had already thought of an excuse, but when he subconsciously looked at the face of the baby girl, he was completely shocked.
The method he had just thought of was gone, and only shock remained in his heart.
This... How come this baby girl looks like a person?
