On the huge square, six jade tablets about a hundred feet high, dozens of feet wide, extremely thick, and made entirely of black crystals stand.
They formed a circle and surrounded the Imperial Sword Platform Holy Land.
A heart-thrilling aura diffused through the six crystal monuments.
This is the battle monument left by Demon Lord Mangcang.
In the center of the six battle monuments, that is, the center of the sword-controlling platform, a dark-black long sword was suspended in the air, motionless, but exuding a heavy and awe-inspiring aura.
Black sword energy whirlwinds, some large and some small, surrounded the long sword, and the sharp aura was like the sword's edge at the side.
"Magic" sword.
at this time.
There were many people around the Sword Control Platform, and many people of extraordinary status rushed over after hearing the news.
Their eyes were filled with astonishment, envy, jealousy, and all kinds of different emotions as they looked at one of the battle monuments.
There were strange patterns engraved on the battle monument.
It can be seen that countless scarlet blood is displayed on the surface of the stele in a strange layout, outlining lines, and the lines then form magical patterns.
Now, the battle monument has undergone unusual changes.
Its entire body was sparkling with glittering light, and the lines made of blood began to twist and move constantly, unexpectedly transforming into a group of mutilated demons and evil creatures!
The pattern was constantly changing, and under the battle strategy monument, Ying Jie was closing his eyes, quietly comprehending something.
There seems to be a line connecting them.
Ying Jie has reached an inexplicable connection with this battle monument and is trying to comprehend the mystery contained therein.
"I really understand it." A ray of light flashed by, and the figure of Demon Lord Shi Wu emerged and appeared in the square.
The Demon Lord Shi Wu, who had just arrived, had the shadows of the Battle Method Monument and Ying Jie reflected in his pupils, and his expression was slightly shocked.
"Greetings, His Majesty the Demon Lord." When the people around saw the Demon Lord Shi Wu appear, they hurriedly saluted.
Demon Lord Shi Wu waved his hand and looked at Ying Jie with sparkling eyes.
"After three thousand years, a genius who has comprehended the Mangcang fighting method has finally appeared in my Burning Moon Region. Congratulations, Your Excellency the Demon Lord."
Another ninth-rank demon cultivator who came after hearing the news congratulated Demon Lord Shi Wu with an excited look on his face.
Demon Lord Shi Wu did not say much, but just nodded with satisfaction and waited patiently.
After a while, Demon Lord Honglie also arrived after hearing the news.
"Father." He bowed to the Demon Lord Shi Wu, and after standing up, he looked at Ying Jie with unconcealable enthusiasm and excitement in his eyes, his face flushed.
His previous resentment towards Ying Jie's high probability of killing his brother had long been overshadowed by the ecstasy at this moment and completely disappeared.
Soon, several other important figures also arrived and gathered together. They attached great importance to this matter and were ready to join in the celebration.
Everyone's eyes fell on Ying Jie, and they couldn't hide their jealousy.
——After comprehending the Mangcang fighting method, Ying Jie can almost be regarded as a future Demon Lord.
No one can stop the rise of Yingjie anymore.
After a while, the constantly moving blood lines gradually calmed down and returned to their original positions.
The bright luster on the battle tactics monument gradually faded, and no mystery could be seen anymore.
"It's about to end." The Demon Lord Shi Wu murmured.
Finally, Ying Jie, who had closed his eyes, opened them.
He was still in shock at first, but when he opened his eyes, he found that there were people all around him, and each of them was of a very high status.
These people were staring at him with fiery eyes, and he was immediately frightened by this horrific scene.
"Jie'er, have you comprehended the combat tactics on the Bloodstain Combat Tactics Monument?" Demon Lord Honglie was the first one who couldn't help but opened his mouth to confirm.
Ying Jie finally reacted, thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "I have gained a little, but my understanding is not deep enough, and I need time to digest it."
Demon Lord Honglie laughed heartily, "Of course it is so. Every battle method of Saint Ancestor Mangcang contains astonishing power. Even if you become a Demon Lord, you may not be able to fully comprehend the mysteries contained therein, and how can you digest them in a short time?"
Although he said so, Demon Lord Honglie was already in high spirits. "May God bless our Shiwu lineage. Today, you have comprehended the Mangcang fighting method. This is definitely a sign of the prosperity of our Shiwu lineage. Great, great!"
"Congratulations……"
"Congratulations……"
Soon, other big shots on the field gathered around, and congratulations rang out one after another.
Demon Lord Honglie kept smiling, and Demon Lord Shiwu was also very pleased.
"From today on, every time the Blood Spirit Crystals are distributed in the Burning Moon Region, a share will be allocated to you until you become the Demon Lord."
A demon lord from the Chizun faction stood up at this time and announced loudly.
When the people around heard this, their eyes became hot.
Except for the Demon Lord, the Blood Spirit Crystal is an extremely important treasure to any demon cultivator, and even the ninth-rank demon cultivators desire it very much.
Before this, the distribution of blood crystals was uniformly allocated according to each clan and lineage.
But from now on, everyone in Yingjie can enjoy a special share like the whole clan. How can such treatment not be enviable?
This made them unable to help but cast their gazes on the six battle steles again, their minds stirring.
Yes, almost everyone present had tried to comprehend the Battle Method Monument more than once, but they all failed in the end.
However, comprehending the Battle Method Monument has always been a very "random" matter.
It does not look at cultivation or combat power. Even if one has gained nothing before, it is not impossible for one to suddenly gain enlightenment after experiencing certain changes and opportunities.
The living example is right before our eyes.
Hadn’t Ying Jie been unable to touch the battle method monument before? But this time he understood it without any warning!
If Yingjie can do this, maybe they will also have this luck?
Here, a hint of excitement quietly emerged in Ying Jie's eyes.
Obviously he also knew what an amazing opportunity he had.
He is still a little confused.
He had tried to comprehend the tactics on the Bloodstain Combat Monument several times before, but to no avail.
Gradually, he gave up these unrealistic fantasies.
This time, he had to come to the Sword Control Platform to be on duty as a punishment for killing Demon Lord Wu. With nothing to do, he took a few more glances at the Battle Method Monument.
But just by looking at it a few more times, the Blood-Stained Battle Method Monument was like a whirlpool, instantly sucking his mind in.
Then, he realized.
It's like winning the lottery.
But he was very shrewd and quickly hid his excitement, and thanked:
"Thank you, Demon Lord, for your support."
The Demon Lord of the Chizun clan nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time, he looked around and said loudly again: "Don't feel jealous. As I said before, anyone who can comprehend the fighting methods of the Mangcang Saint Ancestor will be equally valued!"
Everyone was extremely jealous, and many people unconsciously began to try to comprehend the Battle Method Monument again.
"There is one thing you haven't tried yet." Just as everyone was discussing heatedly, the deep voice of Demon Lord Shi Wu sounded.
Ying Jie was stunned.
Demon Lord Shi Wu had a distant gaze as he looked towards the center of the Sword Controlling Platform, at the magical weapon that was the symbol of the Soldier Demon Clan.
This time, everyone reacted.
Yes, since Ying Jie has comprehended the Mangcang fighting methods, he can try to control the clan’s magic weapon, the “Demon” Sword, left by the Mangcang Demon Lord.
Even until now, the "demon" sword is like an iceberg goddess, which can only be admired from afar and not played with.
Compared with the previous fourteen people who had comprehended the tactics of warfare, Ying Jie had nothing particularly outstanding about him.
But, what if?
A goddess who is unattainable by tall, rich and handsome men may end up marrying an ordinary and honest man.
This kind of thing requires liking each other.
Ying Jie's heart couldn't help but warm up at this moment.
It is impossible to say that he had no desire to control the "magic" sword.
Who doesn’t like a “goddess”? Who doesn’t want to have one?
"Go and give it a try." said the Demon Lord from the Chizun faction.
Demon Lord Honglie gave him an encouraging look.
"Then I'll give it a try." Ying Jie said.
"Go ahead." said the Demon Lord Shi Wu.
Ying Jie nodded solemnly and walked towards the sword-controlling platform.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him again.
As he stepped to the edge of the sword-controlling platform.
The six battle steles all glowed at the same time at this moment, and a mysterious divine power emerged from the battle steles.
Afterwards, the divine power flowed along the battle monument to the ground, like thunder, spreading rapidly on the ground layer by layer.
At the right time, secret patterns appeared on the ground. The divine power was like river water flowing in ravines, flowing through the secret patterns and lighting up the entire sword-controlling platform.
Ying Jie took another step forward and stepped heavily on the lit ground.
Circles of ripples spread out with Yingjie's foothold as the center.
He ignored the changes under his feet and stared intently at the floating "magic" sword not far away. He swallowed his saliva, feeling extremely nervous and solemn.
"Can I?"
Theoretically, it is highly unlikely, after all, no one has succeeded so far.
But everyone has this problem, always feeling that they are different from others - just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it either.
Yingjie thought so too.
He approached the center of the Sword Control Platform step by step.
“Is it talking to me?”
As the distance got closer, Ying Jie suddenly felt a wave coming from the "demon" sword , as if it was communicating with him.
He suddenly became excited and his face turned red unconsciously.
"Could it be that I am the destined person?"
"That must be the case. The fourteen predecessors who comprehended the Battle Method Monument before me never said that the Demon Sword had released any thought waves to them."
"That is to say, I am the only one who has aroused the 'devil' sword intent." Every pore in his body stood up. When this thought popped up in his mind, he was so excited that his body trembled involuntarily.
He then moved closer.
The thought fluctuations coming from the "demon" sword became clearer and clearer.
Ying Jie could feel that the sword was also in a very high spirit and was "calling" him eagerly.
"It must be very pleased with me, otherwise why would it be so emotional!"
He suppressed his excitement, quickened his pace, and in three or five steps he covered the short distance to arrive in front of the "magic" sword.
Without any hesitation, with great excitement, with beautiful fantasies of future success, with strong pride and confidence, he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the "magic" sword.
"I am the new master chosen by the Demon Sword, the future Invincible Demon Lord!"
However, when his fingertips were still thirty or forty centimeters away from the hilt of the magic sword, a huge wave suddenly burst out from the blade of the "magic" sword.
This wave carried with it great majesty, like a king looking down on his subjects, emitting a breath that made his soul tremble.
An invisible force descended instantly, like a shock wave, impacting his body.
Bang!
Ying Jie, who was at the eighth level, had no ability to resist this powerful wave, and he flew backwards.
That is, at the moment of flying backwards, Ying Jie, who was close enough to the "Demon" Sword, finally clearly sensed the meaning of the thought wave transmitted by the "Demon" Sword.
"Don't get close to me, you idiot!"
A trace of confusion flashed in Ying Jie's eyes. He wondered if he had heard it wrong, and at the same time, he began to doubt his life.
The impact was so strong that he flew backwards off the sword-controlling platform before he could steady himself.
He staggered and stood up straight. His mind had not yet recovered from the shock. He stared at the black sword that was quietly floating in the center of the sword-controlling platform.
The "demon" sword remained as it had been for hundreds of thousands of years, standing still, as if nothing had happened.
But for Ying Jie at this moment, when he thought of the fluctuation of thoughts he had just felt, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of irony from this clan's magical weapon.
The harm is not great, but it is extremely insulting.
It was at this moment that all the secret patterns on the Sword Control Platform dimmed in the blink of an eye and returned to normal.
"It still failed." A long sigh finally sounded in the square where you could hear a pin drop.
Yes, Ying Jie failed and failed to control the "magic" sword.
However, this was within everyone's expectations, so no one was surprised.
If Yingjie really succeeds, that would be a big deal.
Upon seeing this, Demon Lord Shi Wu also sighed, but was not too disappointed.
It was already a huge surprise that Ying Jie could comprehend the battle method monument, and he was not that greedy.
"Did the Demon Sword say anything to you?" The Demon Lord of Chi Zun's lineage hurriedly stepped forward and asked about the specific situation of Ying Jie.
The magic sword is spiritual, and all the royal family members know this very well.
Over the years, the reason why no one has been able to control the Demon Sword is because they have not been recognized by the Demon Sword.
They have been actively trying to find out what kind of master the magic sword wants.
Unfortunately, the "devil" sword was sealed in the center of the Sword Control Platform, and others could not get close to it or negotiate with it.
Only the fifteen people who have comprehended the battle method monument can enter the sword-controlling platform, come into contact with the magic sword, and possibly gain some information from it.
So, he immediately asked Ying Jie, hoping to obtain useful information.
"Did you say anything to me?" Ying Jie murmured, and the words "Don't get close to me" came to his mind again.
He was silent for a while, and finally said, "No, the Demon Sword didn't tell me anything."
At this point, Ying Jie finally understood why the previous fourteen predecessors "had not" felt the magic sword's mental fluctuations.
He is not unique...
Just the emperor's new clothes.
"Alas, it is like this again." The Demon Lord of Chi Zun's lineage did not comment. Hearing this, he could only shake his head helplessly.
The same ending.
According to records, the previous fourteen demon cultivators who comprehended the battle monument also said the same thing.
The "devil" sword rejected them and said nothing to them.
He quickly came to his senses and encouraged Ying Jie, "Don't be disappointed. These are all trivial matters. Your understanding of the Mangcang fighting method is the most important thing!"
Ying Jie, whose good mood was ruined by the "devil" sword, forced a smile and nodded slightly in response.
…
…
In the next few days, the news that Ying Jie had comprehended the Mangcang tactics directly detonated the Jianluo Royal City.
The popularity was unprecedented, and all other things, including the attack on Qingge, quickly lost popularity and no one talked about it anymore.
Everyone turned their eyes to Yingjie.
In the past few days, the Shi Wu lineage has been extremely lively, and all the major families and demon forces have sent people to congratulate them.
Ying Jie had already left the Sword Control Platform.
The so-called punishment for guarding the holy land was naturally cancelled.
The decision made by Demon Lord Shi Wu to cut off Yingjie's share of blood crystals was also invalidated, and his share was even doubled.
Among the original Wu murderers, there were many relatives who had a close relationship with Ying Jun. They privately discussed that Ying Jie was a traitor and suspected that Ying Jun had framed him, so they had a lot of complaints about him.
Nowadays, no one would be so tactless as to bring up this matter.
Even if Ying Jun was really killed by Ying Jie’s orders, so what?
How can a dead Ying Jun be compared with Ying Jie, who is now shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving the Shi Wu lineage?
If they still dare to dwell on this matter, perhaps before Ying Jie has said anything, Demon Lord Shi Wu and Demon Lord Hong Lie will step forward and punish them.
Now Ying Jie is the most powerful and popular person in the world. Who dares to cross him?
…
Ying Jie actually realized the mystery of the battle method monument.
Lu Qingshan soon received the news and frowned.
"He is indeed extraordinary. Not only is he scheming and ruthless, he even has this ability."
Originally, Yingjie was an extremely difficult enemy for him.
Now the difficulty has increased several times.
An eighth-grade pure-blooded soldier demon, the only heir of the Shi Wu lineage, and he has also comprehended the Mangcang fighting methods.
Where is this halo?
"There's really nothing we can do about him." Lu Qingshan thought for a long time and shook his head.
He is not a god.
There is an extremely huge gap between him and Ying Jie both in strength and status.
He couldn't think of a way to make up for the gap for a while.
Moreover, his primary mission in the Demon Realm was to save Qin Yitian.
Lu Qingshan still knew what was more important.
He should focus more on the magic sword instead of fighting to the death with Ying Jie to get back his face.
It is good for a sword cultivator to choose the straight path rather than the crooked one, but he should not be stubborn.
For a sword cultivator, what is “straight” is belief and the overall perspective.
If you try to do everything "straight", then there is something wrong with your brain.
"The demon tribe's ancestor worship day is just a few days away. That's my chance to get in touch with the demon sword."
Lu Qingshan gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart, "I will keep a low profile for the next few days and stay indoors in the mansion."
But, if the tree wants to be still, will the wind stop?
