On the afternoon of the third day, when the sun hung in the sky and climbed to its highest point, a murderous aura appeared in the bamboo forest of Qianmo Village.
In the bamboo forest, the young man with his eyes closed took a deep breath and adjusted his body to the best combat condition through breathing.
A moment later, the young man suddenly opened his eyes. However, when he looked straight at the black half-beast in the cage not far away, his eyes were no longer as clear as before, but carried a faint killing intent.
Not bad, you can finally use the most basic aura freely. My many days of careful teaching have not been in vain.
Looking at the young man, Xiao Ruoshui's current battle stance, Tian Chi, who was silently observing from the side, could not help but nod his head. Clearly, he was very satisfied with his beloved disciple's progress.
Ever since Tian Chi came to Qianmo Village, Xiao Ruoshui had already received 10 days of all-weather non-stop training. During this time, other than eating, drinking, pooping and other chores, the youth had completely devoted himself to training.
Because she started much later than others, she had to work harder to shorten the distance between them. That was what Xiao Ruoshui's still young mind thought.
It was precisely because of this thought and persistence that he was able to make such huge progress in such a short period of time.
Of course, during Xiao Ruoshui's cultivation period, there was also the tailor-made training system customized by the famous teacher Tian Chi. The blood of Xia Wu helped to recover fatigue and strengthen the physique. In addition, Xiao Ruoshui's body was also aided by the excellent bloodline of the Chang family, as well as the various bonuses that came with the Demon Slayer Halo.
When all these factors were put together, even a pig would become a pig king in a very short time. Moreover, Xiao Ruoshui was not a pig, but a Demon Slayer.
As a result, Xiao Ruoshui had finally broken through the first hurdle in her life and raised her bloodline power to the level of a bronze-level blood cultivator, which was the same as Long Tatian's companion, Meng Xiong.
How many years did Meng Cui take to reach this level? A conservative estimate was about ten years, but Xiao Ruoshui only spent ten days. What a terrifying fact.
"Are you ready? Today is the final test. If you can kill this half-body demon, you will be qualified to leave with us and go to Yuzhou to find your source.”
Seeing that Xiao Ruoshui was slowly adjusting to her best condition under the effect of the "breathing technique", Tian Chi walked over to the big iron cage that contained the half-body demon and asked in a serious tone.
Upon closer inspection, the half-bodied demon that had played a chasing game with Xiao Ruoshui for a while ten days ago seemed to have grown a lot. It had grown from the size of a puppy to the size of an adult wolfhound.
Not only that, the outline of its body was becoming clearer and clearer, as if it was transforming from a cloud to a beast.
If there were people who knew the ropes here, they would be able to tell at a glance that this half-bodied demon had reached the edge of evolution. It would soon break through the realm and become a beast-shaped demon seed with a complete physical body. At that time, its combat strength would also multiply!
The reason why this demon had such a fast evolution speed was, of course, the result of Tian Chi nourishing it with his demonic qi for so many years. He had to ensure that this demon's current combat strength was stronger than Xiao Ruoshui, who had reached bronze rank. Only then would this trial be valuable.。
I must pass this trial beautifully, only then will I be worthy of Teacher Tian Chi's careful guidance.
Xiao Ruoshui silently drew her sword from her waist and replied in an equally serious tone,"Come on! Bring it on!"
At this moment, the sword that Xiao Ruoshui drew from her waist had a unique appearance. The body of the sword was about 1.5 meters long and three fingers wide. The tip of the sword was diamond-shaped, and a golden pattern extended from the tip of the sword to the hilt. It looked full of killing intent and incomparably elegant. The silver blade was like a lake under the moon, shining with a dazzling light, making people tremble in fear.
This Unshadowed Sword, which Tian Chi had specially forged for Xiao Ruoshui, was a replica of his own god-made weapon, Blood Bone. Whether it was the appearance or the feel, it was exactly the same as the Holy Sword he was familiar with.
Of course, Tian Chi did not have the ability to forge his own blood-made saint weapon, so this Unshadowed was only a good weapon that was sharper than some ordinary weapons. It was far from the destructive power of the blood bone.
One had to know that the god-made weapon, Blood Bone, was a relic of the gods from ten thousand years ago. It already had divinity.
In addition, after it was unearthed, Tian Chi used his own blood and the souls of twelve types of highest-level demon beasts to forcefully inject them into the sword. He worked with the Divine Craftsmen who had lived in seclusion in the Silver Forging City for many years to strengthen the sword ninety-nine times before it was completed.
After going through so much unimaginable training, the Blood Bone had become a divine sword that was invincible and could slay gods and demons. After Tian Chi obtained the sword, he had once shattered the city wall of " Cold City " with one strike and challenged the Demon King Qin Wufeng with it, winning in the end.
Although this Unshadowed Sword was less than one ten-thousandth of the power of the blood bone, it was completely enough for Xiao Ruoshui at this moment. He adopted a very standard sword holding posture and stared at the half-body demon that slowly climbed out of the cage.
"Hey, do you think this little Demon Slayer can win?”Not far away, Xia Wu and Su Mengyao were standing in a corner, watching the commotion. Xia Wu smiled and asked.
"In terms of raw power, this half-body demon is much stronger. However, Xiao Ruoshui is His Highness 'disciple after all, and she has the potential to be a Demon Slayer.”
Su Mengyao glanced at Xia Wu and replied coldly.
If it was an ordinary bronze-level blood cultivator facing a half-body demon that was about to evolve, they would definitely run as far as possible. Otherwise, they would be torn to pieces if they were not careful. However, from Su Mengyao's point of view, she did not think that Xiao Ruoshui would lose at all.
Roar! At this moment, the half-bodied demon suddenly opened its mouth and shouted angrily! A strong demonic qi cyclone condensed on its body!
In an instant, the body that had already begun to take shape pounced forward like a ferocious beast! He suddenly crossed a distance of more than ten meters and pounced on Xiao Ruoshui!
Compared to the situation ten days ago, this half-body demon had not only doubled in weight, but also had a corresponding increase in strength and speed. It was no longer an opponent that ordinary "bronze-level" blood cultivators could resist.
So fast! Immediately, Xiao Ruoshui felt a wave of Yin Qi attack her, and a sharp claw that emitted a bronze luster swept towards her head!
The evolution of demons was all-rounded. When this half-body demon was about to reach the realm of beast-shaped demon seed, it had already grown four blurry beast feet on its body. These four beast feet, together with its bloody mouth, could provide extremely powerful lethality when it pounced.
However, although this fiend race had become much stronger, Xiao Ruoshui was no longer the Xiao Ruoshui from ten days ago.
Xiao Ruoshui's eyes were staring straight at the incoming sharp claws. Then, she squatted slightly and slid to the side with a very small movement, deftly dodging this sudden attack.
Not only that, just as Xiao Ruoshui's body moved, the Unshadowed in his hand turned into three silver chains and struck the pitch-black figure that was still in midair like lightning!
Heart! Throat! Between his eyebrows!
If a knowledgeable swordsman could see this scene, he would be able to recognize at a glance that Xiao Ruoshui's three swords had actually formed a line from top to bottom and stabbed towards the vital parts of these three humans.
Of course, demons didn't have the vital points of humans, but these three swords hit the upper half of the half-body demon's body.
The feeling was not right. It did not feel like it had entered his flesh at all!
After the three consecutive stabs hit, Xiao Ruoshui immediately rolled forward without looking back, just in time to dodge the half-body demon's horizontal sweep after landing on the ground.
Boom! After this sweep, the two bamboo joints that were as thick as an adult's thigh actually let out an explosive sound and shattered! Moreover, this was only the performance after being brushed by this thunderous attack.
It was a half-body demon that was close to the level of a beast-shaped demon seed. At this moment, its combat ability had far exceeded that of ordinary lions and tigers. If an ordinary human was swept by it, their entire body would probably be split into two.
These few swords couldn't even make it pause for a moment? At this time, Xiao Ruoshui could not help but frown. She secretly thought of a way to defeat it.
However, although Xiao Ruoshui needed some time to think, the half-body demon did not give him any time to react. It still roared and rushed towards him. Xiao Ruoshui did not show any weakness and raised her sword to meet it.
Work hard, stimulate the potential in your body and defeat it.
Just as the man and beast were in a state of intense battle, Tian Chi, who was at the side, could not help but clench his fists tightly. He was actually a little nervous.
Nervous? I'm actually nervous? After realizing this fact, even Tian Chi himself had a feeling of disbelief.
As a former Demon Slayer who had passed the growth period and reached the mature period, or even the peak period, Tian Chi had probably seen more storms than the rumors that many people had heard. He had long reached the point where his nerves were as hard as steel.
Even during the final battle with Qin Wufeng, Tian Chi only felt a slight sense of nervousness. He did not expect that he would become even more nervous when he was watching his disciple undergo the trial.
Would Xiao Ruoshui win? Or would Xiao Ruoshui lose? To be honest, even though he trusted his disciple as a teacher, he still couldn't give an accurate answer.
Of course, he knew that the current Xiao Ruoshui did not have the strength to defeat this half-bodied demon, but Tian Chi still chose to do so.
From a certain point of view, Tian Chi was betting. He was betting that Xiao Ruoshui would be able to enter that state again in this true life and death duel, and then control that state in his own hands.
