"Don't look at me with those resentful eyes of yours, okay?
I wasn't the one who begged the Human Emperor to seal me back then. Besides, I was also a victim back then, okay?! "The evil spirit roared.
Qin Shi pursed his lips. Looking at the evil spirit's innocent and aggrieved look, he shook his head helplessly. It was too late for him to complain now. Besides, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the current situation.
Perhaps, when the Human Emperor had passed down the power of the bloodline, he and the entire Qin Family might have taken fewer detours. Not to mention whether they could reach the current heights of the Eight Regions, at least in the entire Crimson Flame Qin Shi, he did not believe that there would be a second family that could look down on the Human Emperor.
However, although the Human Emperor didn't leave behind the power of the inheritance, it was precisely because of this that he was able to achieve what he had today. Bit by bit, he relied on his own efforts to accumulate the achievements he had today.
Moreover, it was also because of this that he and the evil spirit became friends today.
He felt that everything happened for a reason, and there must be an effect. It was worth it.
The evil spirit could also feel the fluctuations of Qin Shi's heartstrings. It smiled gently and knowingly.
"In any case, it's finally a success."
The Nascent Sword Demon, which had been imprinted with the clan mark by Qin Shi, suddenly seemed to be sleeping in Qin Shi's palm. Staring at the palm-sized Nascent Sword Demon in a daze, Qin Shi smiled relaxedly.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked into the darkness in front of him.
It was the Sword Qi Array that had always been rippling.
After calming himself down, he said in a serious tone, "It's really been too long. I don't know if there's a time limit in the sword pavilion. It's time to continue."
Suddenly, the evil spirit said, "Wait a minute!"
Qin Shi frowned. "What's wrong with you again?
Isn't it enough that you've tricked me a few times? "
Qin Shi was really afraid. The evil spirit was blatantly tricking its teammate.
The evil spirit also saw Qin Shi's displeasure. It chuckled. "Alright, I just wanted to train you. At most, I won't trick you again."
"You still know that you tricked me." Qin Shi snorted and asked, "Say it, what else do you want?"
"Don't go yet. There are still two sleeping Sword Demons on this floor."
"Two more Sword Demons?"
Qin Shi was slightly surprised. He knew how terrifying the Sword Demons were, but he didn't expect that there would be four Sword Demons on the 20th floor of the Sword Pavilion.
But immediately, he glared. "Even if there are two more, what does that have to do with me?
I'm telling you, don't try to trick me! "
"Who tricked you? I just wanted to help you!" The evil spirit scolded indignantly, "You really took my kindness for granted."
"Help me?"
Qin Shi calmed down. After all, the demons were experienced and knowledgeable, so he was prepared to listen. "Tell me, how can these two Sword Demons help me?"
"Actually, Sword Devils are also divided into different levels. Normally, living beings that are made up of spiritual energy are divided into eight levels: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and gold!"
"Red is the lowest level, and gold is the highest. As for the Sword Demon in your hand, it is the lowest level, red."
As the nefarious demon spoke to here, it pointed a finger. Qin Shi looked over and saw that on the hilt of the Sword Demon's sword, there was indeed a faint rune. There was a halo of light around that rune; it was crimson red.
"Right now, you've just tamed this Sword Demon, and it's still in its infancy. The foundation elements in its body are still unstable, and it has the most room for growth. If you let it devour a few more Sword Demons' Essence Essences, it'll definitely develop a lot of potential."
"There's such a thing?"
Qin Shi's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't know that there were different levels of Sword Demons, and he didn't know that Sword Demons' strength could be increased.
"Of course, although this Sword Demon looks like a puppet, it is not a puppet. You can also say that it is a spiritual body with a living mechanism, so it definitely has room for growth."
"Moreover, you should know that if a Spirit Body like this can reach the golden level, its strength will be extremely terrifying. Even in ancient times thirty thousand years ago, a Spirit Body that could reach the golden level was only the size of a palm, and there were at most a thousand Purple Spirit Bodies. These Spirit Bodies could fight against World Realm experts."
"Compete with Realm Experts?
Is it that powerful? "
Qin Shi's eyes widened. However, when he thought about it, he felt that it made sense. After all, the crimson Sword Devil had already attained mastery in the Domain Realm. Moreover, it had grasped the Supreme Sword Principle. Moreover, it was only a spirit of the lowest level. If it could attain the golden level, how terrifying would its lethality be?
Qin Shi's heart burned with passion when he thought about it.
According to Qin Shi, there were only a handful of golden spiritual bodies in ancient times, so it would be very difficult for him to raise the Sword Demon's spiritual body to the gold level. However … it would be good if he could raise it by one or two levels. This way, when the Sword Demon's Nascent Soul matured, it would be of great help to him.
"What do you think?
Do you want to give it a try? "
The evil spirit flicked its fingers and pointed in two different directions. "The two Sword Demons are in these two places."
After pondering for a moment, Qin Shi finally decided to take a gamble.
After all, the Sword Demon's growth was very tempting to him.
"Anyway, I've escaped death a few times already. One more time won't make a difference. I'll take a gamble!"
Qin Shi flashed a bright smile, causing the devilish devil to be stunned for a moment. Then, it began to laugh maniacally, "Good, good. I like your refreshing manner."
"Hmph, stop laughing. If you dare to trick me again, I'll definitely fight you to the death!"
Qin Shi waved his fist. Soon after, his gaze shifted, suddenly shifting from the sword Qi formation that led to the twenty-first level to one of the two spots that the evil spirit had pointed out. He slowly stepped forward.
Feng Sha frowned when he saw Qin Shi's actions. The other disciples might not know, but he knew the Sword Firmament Pavilion very well. He knew the way to the twenty-first floor, so he asked, "What the hell is this little guy doing?
He's obviously in the right place, so why did he suddenly change direction? "
Fang Qing shook his head in confusion. "I don't know, but this kid has never taken the normal path. He should have his own plans?"
"What a troublesome guy!" Feng Sha blew at his beard.
Bang!
Suddenly, their eyes widened in shock. They were stunned by the scene in the sky.
"That's the Sword Demon?" Feng Sha's eyes turned cold.
When Qin Shi stepped into the darkness, a sleeping Sword Demon roared. But this time, the Sword Demon didn't attack Qin Shi like the previous two. It seemed to have sensed the aura of the previous two Sword Demons from Qin Shi and revealed a trace of fear. It let out a deep roar, trying to force Qin Shi back.
"Hehe, little guy, don't be so nervous. Come, let's talk." Qin Shi ignored the Sword Demon's threat and slowly approached.
His actions completely confused Feng Sha and Fang Qing.
"What's going on?
He clearly has the chance to leave, so why did he provoke the Sword Demon? "
"Could it be … that he wants to devour the Sword Demons?"
Suddenly, Fang Qing seemed to have thought of something. She and Feng Sha had seen how Qin Shi had subdued the Sword Demon's infant. At that time, they had praised Qin Shi's luck and courage. But now, if Fang Qing was right, Qin Shi was simply a lunatic.
The Sword Demon became agitated when it saw Qin Shi approaching.
"Roar!" With a roar, the Sword Demon suddenly stood up and slashed at Qin Shi.
However, Qin Shi had already seen through the Sword Demon's movements. He wrapped his black robe tightly and gently dodged the sword Qi. Then, he spread his five fingers and slightly bent them. Five lightning dragons gathered at his fingertips.
"Break!"
Bang!
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
In an instant, when the Sword Demon passed by Qin Shi, Qin Shi's five fingers pointed upward. Almost in the blink of an eye, the five lightning dragons violently bombarded the Sword Demon's blade.
Boom!
The Sword Demon violently twitched. The blade was directly bent, and there were many cracks on it. It was extremely horrifying. Then, it was directly sent flying.
Boom!
Ripples appeared in the darkness.
The Sword Demon obviously did not expect Qin Shi to be so fierce. After tumbling on the ground, it suddenly became dispirited and stared at Qin Shi in shock.
Qin Shi grinned at the Sword Demon. Then, instead of pursuing, he opened his palm and released the small Sword Demon's infant. As soon as the infant appeared, it immediately sensed the Sword Demon's aura. It could not help but let out a few greedy and excited moans.
"Alright, little thing, this is for you."
With Qin Shi's affirmation, the Sword Demon's infant excitedly howled. Then, like a long-awaited arrow, it pierced through the air and pierced through the Sword Demon's body.
Boom!
The Sword Demon was rapidly devoured by the Sword Demon's infant at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fang Qing and Feng Sha's eyelids twitched when they saw this scene from the outside. Fang Qing said in shock, "He, he actually did that?"
"What a crazy guy!"
Feng Sha smiled bitterly and helplessly. In the history of the Sword Sect, Qin Shi was probably the only sect master who dared to target the Sword Demon.
This was unprecedented in the history of the Sword Sect. Qin Shi was also unprecedented, and there would be no one who could do it in the future.
After completely devouring the Sword Demon, the Sword Demon's infant let out a satisfied burp. Then, it lazily fell into Qin Shi's hand and fell into a deep sleep.
Staring at the little thing, Qin Shi laughed.
After that, he changed his target once more, and he targeted the last Sword Devil on the 20th level. In next to no time, he'd arrived at the territory of the Sword Devil, and with his previous experience, he'd practically effortlessly defeated the Sword Devil and made it into food for the Sword Devil Nascent.
When the Sword Demon's infant returned to Qin Shi's hand after absorbing the sword aura of two Sword Demons, the aura around it had clearly improved. Even the curse mark between its brows had turned from a faint color to an extremely dense red.
Qin Shi nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that the demon did not lie to him.
"Alright, now that there are no more Sword Demons on the twentieth floor, it's time to move forward."
