"Is this the passageway to the twenty-first level?"
"Yes, this Sword Qi Formation is not simple. It's even more exquisite and complete than the previous twenty levels."
The Nefarious Demon smiled. "However, this formation shouldn't be a problem for you. Kid, your attainments in formations aren't bad. If you can use it properly, it will be a good method for you in the future."
Qin Shi nodded. Even though he had a good understanding of formations when he was in Crimson Flame, he had only used it to break formations. It wasn't until he came into contact with the Eight Regions that he realized the usefulness of formations. A good formation master could even fight against a Greater Domain Realm cultivator, especially those who had mastered ancient formations. Just like the Talisman Demon Master, any one of them was a talent that could make the other regions envious.
"I really should put more effort into formations," Qin Shi thought. Of course, the most important thing right now was how to break this Sword Qi Formation.
He focused his mind and Qi. With his soul as the axis, he slowly seeped into the Sword Qi Formation.
He had the Sword Array Sutra Changing Diagram, so he was deep in the Sword Qi Array. He quickly found the core of the Sword Qi Array. What surprised Qin Shi was that the core of the Sword Qi Array was actually formed by the corpse of a Sword Demon.
"Haha, this can be considered an unexpected harvest. After we break this Sword Qi Array, we can let that little thing absorb the corpse. Looking at the little thing's current state, it should be able to evolve in less than three Sword Demons."
The nefarious demon smiled.
Qin Shi was also surprised. Then, he sank his hands into his dantian, palms facing up, and the two forces fused together.
In an instant, a strong rupture, like a bolt of lightning from the heavens, furiously rushed towards the Sword Qi Formation.
Outside the Sword Qi Formation, the faint cyan sword light instantly became alert when it sensed the danger of the rupture. However, Qin Shi had already seen through the Sword Qi Formation, so the counterattack of the sword qi was under his control. The rupture twisted like a phoenix and danced like a dragon, easily dodging the hundreds of sword qi. Suddenly, an extremely fragile colorful sword light approached.
That sword light was the core of the Sword Qi Formation.
"Break for me!" Qin Shi shouted, his black eyes widening.
A shocking ripple dispersed the Sword Qi.
Rumble!
When the Sword Qi shattered, the huge Sword Qi Formation shook, as if it had been hit by a huge hammer from the outside. At the same time, Qin Shi reacted quickly. Almost in an instant, he turned into a bolt of purple lightning and rushed into the Sword Qi Formation.
When he stopped, he was right in front of the destroyed sword Qi. After the colorful light gradually dimmed, the corpse of the Sword Demon was completely exposed before his eyes.
"Hehe, little thing, you're in luck again."
Qin Shi smiled and summoned the Nascent Soul of the Sword Demon. The Nascent Soul of the Sword Demon didn't stand on ceremony with Qin Shi. When it saw the corpse of the Sword Demon, it greedily licked the corner of its mouth and instantly swept up the corpse like a storm, devouring it in the blink of an eye.
After the Sword Devil's corpse was devoured, the sword energy formation on the twentieth layer collapsed on its own.
An azure, translucent, and translucent passageway slowly appeared before Qin Shi's eyes.
Looking at the passage, Qin Shi smiled faintly. At this time, the Nascent Soul of the Sword Demon was already back in his hand. Only then did he gently wrap his black robe around himself and stride upwards.
"The twenty-first layer!"
When the people in the outside world saw Qin Shi's entire set of actions, they were all stunned.
Fang Qing and Feng Sha looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"This brat …"
"He's destined to be extraordinary."
It wasn't just the two of them. In the sky above the Law Enforcement Department, an old man stood together with Long Tingyan. Long Tingyan smiled with a fanatical look in his eyes. "Master, am I right?"
The old man narrowed his eyes and stroked his white beard. "It seems that the calamity of our Sword Sect is really coming, and he might be the only one who can resolve this calamity."
On the other side, Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
Lu Shan laughed with satisfaction. "Qiqing, it's been three thousand years. I've endured humiliation to carry a heavy load. This day has finally come."
"Master, what are you talking about?" Yun Yan asked curiously.
Lu Shan shook his head and didn't say much. He only said, "Yun Yan, remember, this person will be the person you will assist in the future."
"What?" Yun Yan's mouth opened wide in shock. His face was filled with unwillingness. "Why?"
"There's no why. He's worthy of your support."
Lu Shan's words weighed heavily in Yun Yan's heart. Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he didn't refute Lu Shan in the end and only nodded. However, he still pouted and looked up at Qin Shi. He snorted in his heart. "Hmph, Qin Shi, if you want me to assist you, then show me your ability. If you can beat me in half a year, then I naturally won't disobey Master's orders. However, if you don't have the ability, then even if Master asks, I won't assist the weak."
Opening the passage, Qin Shi easily arrived at the twenty-first layer.
As soon as he stepped onto the twenty-first layer, Qin Shi's brows furrowed. The pressure of the Sword Qi rose once again. More importantly, compared to the previous twenty layers, the twenty-first layer gave Qin Shi an additional sense of unknown danger.
"It seems like the higher I go, the more troublesome it will be."
"That's for sure. The concentration of the Sword Qi here is already the sum of the first twenty layers. Even if I were to comprehend sword techniques here, I should be able to reach the eighth or ninth level."
"Eighth or ninth level?" Qin Shi was stunned. He then shook his head. "That's far from enough."
"Hehe, kid, you're very ambitious."
Qin Shi shrugged and didn't reply to the evil spirit. However, he stood on the twenty-first level and didn't immediately search for the passageway to the twenty-second level. Instead, he looked around and said to the evil spirit, "Alright, point it out."
"Kid, have you thought it through?
If you really do that, it will consume a lot of your energy. If that's the case, you might be able to reach the thirtieth layer. But if that's the case, you won't be able to advance any further. "The demon's voice was heavy.
Qin Shi pondered for a moment and his eyes suddenly turned resolute.
"I know. But since I've already started, there's no reason for me to give up halfway."
Qin Shi suddenly smiled. He then clenched his fists and said, "As for the Sword Pavilion, I won't stay here. Moreover, the thirtieth layer?
That's not the position I want. "
"Oh?
The thirtieth layer is still not enough? "The demon smiled deeply.
Qin Shi smiled faintly. He didn't say anything and just grabbed the Sword Sect's Spirit in front of his chest.
The Sword Sect's Spirit in Qin Shi's hand flickered with a divine light.
"Hmm?" The demon was slightly startled. "The ominous weapon is resonating?"
Qin Shi nodded his head. In fact, when he first entered the Sword Pavilion, he had already felt a burning sensation on his neck. It was just that he didn't pay much attention to it at that time. It was only when he reached the twenty-first layer that he was shocked to discover that the Sword Sect's Spirit had suddenly become active. Furthermore, he could sense that there was something in the depths of the Sword Pavilion that was calling out to him.
The demon also came to a sudden realization. The resonance of the ominous weapon was usually related to a shocking mystery. So he chuckled, "Looks like you're going to make it to the end in the Sword Pavilion."
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Even without the resonance of the Sword Sect's Spirit, he had always set the thirty-sixth layer as his goal.
After all, even if he was in seclusion, he could only enter the Sword Pavilion once in his lifetime. He didn't want to give up on this precious opportunity.
A martial art that was 100% compatible with him. His eyes burned with passion just thinking about it.
"Point it out," said Qin Shi.
The demon knew that his persuasion wouldn't work on Qin Shi, so he didn't waste any more time and pointed at a few dark spots.
"It's in these few places, a total of eight."
"Eight places?"
A satisfied expression appeared on Qin Shi's face. Soon after, he slowly walked in the direction that the Demonic Spirit had pointed out.
When Feng Sha saw this scene from the outside, his old eyes sank, "What's wrong with this little guy?
That's not the place to the twenty-second layer. "
Suddenly, Fang Qing was shocked. She exchanged a glance with Feng Sha and thought of something at the same time, "Could it be that he's going to …"
Rumble!
Before the two of them could voice out their guesses, the space in the Sword Pavilion was already shaking violently, and explosions rang out repeatedly.
Shock and astonishment surged into the eyes of all the disciples and elders of the Sword Sect at the same time when they saw the scene within it.
"This … Oh my god."
"Has, has he gone mad?"
"That, that's the Sword Demon?"
That's right, the eight places that the demon pointed at were the territories of the eight sleeping Sword Demons. When Qin Shi was on his way to the twenty-first layer, a terrifying thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
He wanted to annihilate all the Sword Devils in the Sword Pavilion … Just thinking about it made one's hair stand on end.
Of course, he had his reasons for doing this. If the Sword Demon Nascent Soul could really devour all the Sword Demons in the Sword Pavilion, how terrifying would it evolve to? Even the demon dared to give an affirmative answer.
Rumble!
In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, after a hundred moves, a Sword Demon was pierced through by Qin Shi's fingertip. It fell to the ground, paralyzed. Only then did Qin Shi clap his hands in satisfaction.
Then, he took out the Sword Demon Nascent Soul. "Little guy, devour it. Hurry up, there are still seven more."
The Sword Demon Nascent Soul let out an excited cry and devoured the Sword Demon's corpse.
After devouring one, Qin Shi began to sweep through the Sword Pavilion.
Everyone in the outside world was stupefied.
There were a total of eight Sword Demons on the twenty-first layer, but they were all brutally attacked by Qin Shi in just half an incense stick's time. In the end, they couldn't escape the Sword Demon Nascent Soul's devouring.
In an instant, the relationship between the hunter and the prey underwent a shocking change. Qin Shi began to play the role of the hunter in the Sword Pavilion, sweeping through all the Sword Demons.
