Qin Shi's craziness and boldness were unprecedented in the history of the Sword Sect. Everyone outside the Sword Pavilion was dumbfounded.
There were a total of eight Sword Devils on the 21st level, and they all became food for the Nascent Sword Devil under Qin Shi's control.
It was worth mentioning that after the Nascent Sword Devil devoured three more Sword Devils on the 21st level, it evolved just as the Nefarious Devil had said.
Under the influence of the three Sword Devils' Sword Qi, the Nascent Sword Devil that was originally red suddenly grew an orange cocoon. The cocoon was translucent, and the Sword Devils curled up in it and jumped around gently.
The situation did not last long. After about 15 minutes, the cocoon gradually cracked open. However, when the Nascent Sword Devil hatched again, its eyes became more spirited, and its mind became more powerful after the evolution. It could even understand many of Qin Shi's instructions and respond to Qin Shi simply. The most obvious change was on its blade. The blade was originally sharp, but now there were many bronze steel thorns on it. Instead of calling it the Nascent Sword Devil, Qin Shi felt that it was more like the Nascent Sword Chainsaw.
After the evolution, the red seal on the hilt of the Nascent Sword Devil naturally turned orange.
After the evolution was complete, he devoured the other five Sword Devils.
Qin Shi smiled in relief when he saw the orange seal.
"Finally, you see the harvest?"
"Yes, an orange spirit body. Based on the cultivation of the Sword Devils here, it's very likely that they'll reach the perfected Domain Realm if they fully mature."
Qin Shi nodded in satisfaction, but he was not ready to stop. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the passageway to the 22nd level. "This is far from enough."
"Little lunatic."
The Nefarious Devil shook its head helplessly and could not help but smile. "If those fellows from the Sword Sect find out that you used all these Sword Devils that they nurtured for nearly 10,000 years as nourishment, I wonder if they'll be so angry that they'll come back to life."
Qin Shi gave a noncommittal smile.
After that, he moved. He'd found the passageway that led to the 22nd level a long time ago while he was hunting these eight Sword Devils, and he immediately approached it with light footsteps.
The 22nd layer of the Sword Qi Array was obviously much more stable than the 21st layer. However, this was still not a problem for Qin Shi. He slightly opened his palm, and his five fingers touched each other. A golden shadow was condensed by his soul force. Then, he waved his hand at the Sword Qi Array, and the golden shadow whistled and destroyed it.
Qin Shi's Psyche Power was hidden in it. When he was brought into the Sword Qi Formation by the virtual shadow, his black eyes swept over several points and he suddenly laughed. "Haha, this formation is quite interesting."
"Three formation cores?" The Nefarious Devil asked.
Qin Shi nodded. "Yes. Using the corpses of three Sword Devils as the formation cores can indeed increase its stability. This way, the Sword Qi Formation can only be broken if all three of the formation cores are destroyed at the same time. Otherwise, even if one of them is destroyed, the Sword Qi Formation can continue to operate with the support of the other two. The destroyed formation core will also quickly be nourished by the other two, and then it will be repaired."
"It's not easy to attack three formation cores at the same time. Do you want me to help you deal with one?" The Nefarious Devil asked kindly.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shi suddenly shook his head confidently. "No need. I can deal with it myself."
"You can deal with it yourself?"
The Nefarious Devil frowned slightly. Although the three formation cores seemed to be very close, they were more than a thousand meters apart. Even though he knew that Qin Shi had the Golden Pattern Psychokinesis Body, he could only deal with two of them. The other one was something that Qin Shi could not deal with no matter what.
After all, a formation core like this had to be accurately controlled. It was impossible to rely on martial arts to make up for it.
"Yes. Although the Sword Pavilion can isolate the fluctuations inside and outside, your demonic aura is still a great taboo in the Mortal World. It's inevitable that the outside world will notice it, especially since Su Tian already knows of your existence. If Zhang Hun also notices it, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble."
"What?
Do you think I'm causing trouble for you? "The Nefarious Devil looked unhappy.
Qin Shi was stunned. He quickly waved his hand with a bitter smile. Then, he suddenly became more serious and said to the Nefarious Devil, "I just don't want anything to happen to you."
The Nefarious Devil's heart warmed. After knowing that he had misunderstood Qin Shi, he smiled in satisfaction. "Then, what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry. I have my ways. I might even scare you."
"Oh?
Scare me?
Then I'm looking forward to it. "
"Get ready to watch."
Qin Shi shrugged. Then, he suddenly sat down cross-legged. His action surprised the Nefarious Devil and many people from the Sword Sect.
"Hmm?
Why isn't he moving forward? "
"Could it be that he's reached his limit?
This is only the 22nd level. Could it be that he can't break this sword Qi array anymore? "
Many disciples who had high hopes for Qin Shi shook their heads in disappointment.
Feng Sha and Fang Qing also furrowed their brows. The two of them knew Qin Shi very well. Qin Shi wouldn't give up, so the two of them were curious about how Qin Shi was going to break the array.
Sitting down, Qin Shi's body suddenly flashed with spiritual light.
The spiritual light was golden. After it rose into the sky, it formed a violent cyclone. Qin Shi's body slowly floated in the air, his black robe fluttering in the wind.
Suddenly, his black eyes opened. An extremely deep black gaze seemed to pierce through the void. It suddenly turned into three rays of light and stabbed into the sword Qi array.
"Golden Pattern, Psychokinesis Body!"
In an instant, a shocking scene unfolded. The three rays of light in the sword Qi array suddenly materialized. In the end, they suddenly turned into three young men in black robes … The young man had sharp features and a resolute face. Wasn't that … Qin Shi?
"Three clones?"
Fang Qing, Feng Sha, and the people from the Sword Sect were all shocked.
The Nefarious Devil was stunned. He suddenly said, "Little guy, you can actually create three clones at the same time?"
Qin Shi's original body stood up. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he nodded in response.
"Yes. When I was healing my injuries, I vaguely realized that the Golden Pattern Psychokinesis Body can create more than one clone. So, I tried to create a second one. I didn't expect it to really form. But today, I was actually just trying to create three clones. Anyway, even if it doesn't work, including my original body, it should be enough to destroy the three array eyes at the same time. I didn't expect it to really work." Qin Shi said casually. The Nefarious Devil's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
"What an insane martial art."
The Nefarious Devil had long known about Qin Shi's Golden Pattern Psychokinesis Body. It was not an ordinary cloning technique. It was a real clone that could be implanted with soul power and had intelligence. It was already very terrifying to have one such clone, but now Qin Shi had created three at the same time.
If that was the case, not to mention Qin Shi, whose cultivation base could not be measured with ordinary eyes, even if an ordinary person possessed these three doppelgangers, he would be able to kill an opponent of a higher cultivation level. After all, in a one versus three battle between people of the same cultivation level, the answer needed not be revealed.
Rumble!
The three clones entered the sword Qi array and attacked the three array eyes at the same time. The entire sword Qi array almost collapsed in an instant. When the sword Qi array disappeared into powder, the passage to the 22nd level was naturally reflected in Qin Shi's eyes.
Qin Shi smiled with satisfaction.
Of course, before going up to the 22nd level, he would naturally not let go of the three Sword Demon corpses.
He turned his palm. "Little thing!"
"Roar!" The Sword Demon Infant jumped out excitedly and devoured the three corpses again.
When everything was ready, Qin Shi continued to move forward. He lifted his leg and went up to the 22nd level.
On the 22nd level, compared to the 21st level, the pressure of the sword Qi was several times stronger. Fortunately, Qin Shi had already adapted to this heavy feeling, so it did not take him too long to adjust his breathing.
After entering the 22nd floor, Qin Shi did the same thing he did on the 21st floor. He started to sweep and kill the Sword Demons on this floor.
Under the guidance of the Nefarious Devil, none of the Sword Demons could escape from Qin Shi's hunt. He was like the nemesis of the Sword Demons. After killing more than a dozen Sword Demons, a thick killing intent had formed on his body. This kind of killing intent was exclusive to the Sword Demons. When the Sword Demons saw Qin Shi, their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.
There were a total of 13 Sword Demons on the 22nd level. After killing all of them, Qin Shi went up to the 23rd level.
23rd level.
24th level.
25th level.
…
29th level.
30th level … Rumble!
When a deafening sound came to an end, Qin Shi had already destroyed the sword Qi formation on the 29th level. He had already arrived at the entrance to the 30th level.
After ten consecutive levels, Qin Shi killed a total of 176 Sword Demons. Among them, there were two orange Sword Demons on the 27th and 29th levels. At first, they made Qin Shi flustered, but after killing them, the Sword Demon Infant devoured them and gained a lot.
Now, the rune on the Sword Demon Infant's sword hilt had turned orange, like the morning sun in the east. It was surrounded by rolling flames.
"Looks like it won't be long before this little thing can evolve again." Qin Shi was quite satisfied with this kind of reward.
"Yes, it's already very powerful to reach the Yellow level. When it grows up, it will definitely become your right-hand man."
The Nefarious Devil nodded and looked at the passage. "So, are you going to continue?"
"Of course!"
Qin Shi subconsciously said. Shortly after, he slowly lowered his head and looked at the Sword Sect's Spirit on his neck. At this moment, the light around the Sword Sect's Spirit was extremely dazzling. "I have a premonition that the Sword Sect's Spirit is hiding a shocking mystery, and the answer to that mystery is in the Sword Pavilion."
"Then let's continue." The Nefarious Devil shrugged.
