Volume 8: Demon Suppression Chapter 85 The Third Person in History
Burning Moon Region, the holy land of the Imperial Sword Platform.
Six battle tactics steles that have existed since ancient times and have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years stand tall, emitting a crystal-clear luster.
There are many mysterious patterns engraved on the surface of the stele.
Bloodstains, stars, demons, mountains and rivers, all different.
The patterns on each battle stele contain a kind of battle insight left by Demon Lord Mangcang.
But for most people, even if they look hard, they can't see anything from it.
In the long and ancient history of the Burning Moon Domain, every demon cultivator who was able to comprehend the wild and vast combat methods was a well-deserved pride of the era and became one of the most dazzling stars of the same generation.
Today, Lu Qingshan stood under this monument of extraordinary warfare and looked around at everyone.
Then, in a tone that could not be more calm, he said something that was enough to make everyone present furious.
"He's calling us bedbugs?"
Every demon cultivator present is of high status.
They are usually domineering people, when have they ever been described like this?
Lu Qingshan's group attack, which had a wide range of impact, instantly aroused public anger.
Everyone had different expressions. Some people managed to remain calm, but without exception, they were extremely angry and unhappy in their hearts.
Commander Zi Yan was the first to lose his patience and no longer showed mercy.
He was ready to capture Qing Ge and lock him up in the Black Water Prison, letting him suffer the pain of being corroded by the black water.
But at this time, Lu Qingshan had already stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the Bloodstain Battle Method Monument.
That is the battle monument that Ying Jie realized.
This caused Commander Zi Yan to pause.
Ying Jie's expression became extremely strange.
If he didn't know why Lu Qingshan was talking so loudly before, how could he not understand what he was thinking after seeing his actions now?
No way, no way, no one really thinks that comprehending the Mangcang combat method is a simple thing?
Ying Jie felt a sense of mockery in his heart.
Scarcity makes things valuable.
If it weren't for the fact that comprehending the Mang Cang combat method was so difficult, they in the Burning Moon Region wouldn't have valued the magic cultivators who comprehended the Mang Cang combat method so much.
Whenever a demon cultivator comprehends the Mangcang combat tactics, it can be called a miracle.
And he is the only miracle in three thousand years.
Lu Qingshan wants to follow suit?
If a miracle can be imitated, can it still be called a miracle?
"Commander Zi Yan, please take action and capture this lunatic!" Ying Jie shouted.
Upon hearing this, Commander Zi Yan finally made up his mind. He no longer hesitated and stretched out his big hand. The demonic energy in his hand condensed, trying to suppress Lu Qingshan.
The next moment.
The folds of light on the Bloodstain Battle Method Monument suddenly flickered.
An unusual change has occurred.
The irregular bloodstains began to move.
Everyone saw this scene clearly.
"This...this..." Many people were shocked and speechless, and their hearts began to tremble violently without warning.
The demonic energy that was about to fly out of Commander Zi Yan's hand suddenly stopped and then dissipated.
His eyes widened and his eyes were bloodshot.
The strange phenomenon appeared on the Battle Tactics Monument, which showed that Qingge had triggered the change of the Battle Tactics Monument and was comprehending the Mangcang Battle Tactics.
A miracle is happening right before their eyes!
Ying Jie was horrified and stared blankly at the blood-stained battle monument with moving patterns.
"This mixed-blood creature has also comprehended the Mangcang fighting method?" Ying Jie found it difficult to accept this, his expression distorted slightly.
Before this, he was clearly the only one who had comprehended the Mangcang fighting method, but now another person has appeared and stolen his limelight.
Not to mention that there was already a rift between him and Lu Qingshan, even if there was no conflict at all, Ying Jie would be extremely dissatisfied with him and would hate him with all his might.
A moment ago, in the square, many demon cultivators who were watching the ceremony were still angry at Lu Qingshan's excessive arrogance. They were still scolding him and wanted to see him get into trouble.
Commander Zi Yan is already preparing to take action to suppress this beast.
Yingjie and Demon Lord Honglie are sure of victory.
Chi Li secretly shook his head, feeling sorry for Lu Qingshan's lack of appreciation.
Many powerful demon cultivators who participated in the ceremony left in an orderly manner, showing that they did not care about this farce.
But inevitably, the corner of his eye would glance over here from time to time, and some of his attention was attracted.
At this point, no matter who they were, they all stopped in unison, closed their mouths, and quietly looked at the ever-changing battle monument.
And there was Lu Qingshan, who looked so tiny under the battle monument but was so eye-catching.
On the Bloodstain Battle Method Monument, bloodstains continued to intertwine and move like snakes and dragons, and began to roll up and down, so fast that they formed afterimages that were invisible to the naked eye.
A terrifying aura of annihilation spread at this moment.
"No doubt, he is really comprehending. The Shi Wu lineage actually produced two geniuses who comprehended the Mang Cang fighting method in less than ten days."
Demon Lord Zhonghe, who came to worship the ancestors on behalf of Chi Zun, suddenly appeared, looked at this scene, and said secretly in his heart.
Kill the Wu lineage and rely on their Chizun lineage.
In other words, the Shi Wu lineage produced two geniuses in succession, and their Chi Zun lineage also benefited.
Logically speaking, he should be very happy now.
But……
Demon Lord Zhonghe felt a little pain in his tooth socket, "Why did it have to be him? It would be fine if it was anyone else."
The Shi Wu lineage is lucky to have produced two geniuses in a row.
But these two geniuses happened to hate each other and could not get along with each other.
Isn't this also the misfortune of the Wu murderer lineage?
Demon Lord Zhonghe had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he reacted very quickly and notified his subordinates, "Quickly report the news that Qing Ge comprehended the Blood Scar Battle Method Monument to Demon Lord Chi and Demon Lord Shi Wu."
He ordered.
The subordinate nodded repeatedly and soon left.
He continued to stand where he was, watching the movements of the Bloodstain Battle Monument.
…
Lu Qingshan stared intently at the crystal jade stele in front of him.
This towering war monument is covered with bloodstains, and at first glance it looks a bit sloppy, as if it were randomly graffitied.
But as soon as he focused his attention on the stele, a whirlpool seemed to appear in the battle stele, sucking his mind in.
All of Lu Qingshan's mental consciousness was instantly completely immersed in it, and he forgot everything about himself and the world.
To outsiders, the bloodstains just kept changing in a way that they couldn't understand.
But in Lu Qingshan's consciousness, these bloodstains turned into sword lights, which constantly combined to form wave after wave of offensive frenzy.
What Demon Lord Mangcang left behind were not direct skills, but insights into combat methods that contained profound principles.
What is the understanding of tactics?
It is not a combat method and will not directly tell you the various techniques and ways to perform them, so it is impossible for the person who has gained insight to directly master a combat method.
It is just a feeling, a thought, and an enlightenment.
Different people see different scenes, and after gaining insights into combat tactics, what they ultimately produce are also different.
It is not like a combat method that can bring direct combat power gains to practitioners after they have successfully practiced it.
The understanding of tactics has long-term and far-reaching effects.
The mysteries contained therein can constantly guide those who understand it to comprehend, improve, and apply it to every aspect.
Just like once you learn the idea of limits, you can use it in every field of study.
This is also the reason why Lu Qingshan has never been very confident in comprehending the Mangcang combat tactics.
——The Mangcang fighting method is just a kind of perception, which means that it is not a skill and cannot be directly learned through the "Deep Blue" magical power.
Moreover, even if the Mangcang fighting method is a skill, his "Deep Blue" is likely to be useless.
Because many skills are learnable.
For example, "If you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first" in "Sunflower Manual".
As the undisputed strongest combat method in the Burning Moon Domain, the Mangcang Combat Method undoubtedly has extremely strict learning conditions.
The system only allows him to quickly master a skill, but it is not so overbearing that it can force him to master a combat method that does not meet the requirements.
This worry was hidden in his mind until Ying Jie comprehended the tactics. During the few days when he stayed indoors at home and read various books, he suddenly realized something.
Because the "refining furnace" magical power of the soldier demon clan can give birth to an extremely handy and familiar magic weapon, the soldier demons will use this magic weapon as their main weapon.
And the tactics are the methods of fighting.
It is the same concept as the magic powers of human monks, just with a different name.
Therefore, just as the magic spells practiced by sword cultivators must be related to the sword, the combat methods of the Soldier Demon Clan must also be closely related to their own demonic soldiers.
The magic weapon of Demon Lord Mangcang is the "demon" sword.
Then the Mangcang fighting method he left behind should actually be equivalent to...
Mangcang sword technique!
Lu Qingshan had no idea about other tactics .
But, if it's swordsmanship...
Isn't this just peach blossom eating mines, a piece of cake?
With the full value of sword talent bonus granted by [Natural Sword Type], theoretically, it is impossible for there to be any sword technique in the world that he cannot understand.
…
Of course, these judgments were just his guesses at first.
Although he thought he was 99% sure, he still felt a little worried.
It was not until he saw the six battle steles with his own eyes that the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.
The authentic Mangcang sword technique.
Six battle steles, all of them!
…
The swordsmanship system of the demon clan is completely different from that of sword cultivators.
But all different paths lead to the same destination.
Moreover, what Demon Lord Mangcang left behind was not a rigid battle method, but the most flexible insights.
This allowed Lu Qingshan to absorb the essence of it according to his own situation and combine it to create something unique to him.
Just like the same Marxist thought, it will bear different fruits on different soils.
The fruit produced on the soil of China is socialism with Chinese characteristics, which best suits this soil.
…
In Lu Qingshan's eyes, every streak of blood turned into sword light, as if taking him through eternity of time and space.
His mind wandered vaguely, as if he had turned into an invisible ghost and came to the ancient times when the heaven and earth were boundless.
The demon realm is vast, and demon cultivators in simple clothes wield swords and move around.
The sword light pierced the sky, shaking the earth and outlining endless bloody sword marks in the void that lasted for a long time.
Every sword mark is mysterious and unpredictable.
This sword technique goes straight to the heart.
"What a powerful swordsmanship." Lu Qingshan murmured.
He pondered and comprehended it in every possible way, calmed down, and studied step by step, trying to figure out the secret of the invincible swordsmanship left behind by the most powerful demon lord in the history of the soldier demon clan.
The more he deduced, the more frightened he felt.
The heaven and earth open and close, leaving traces in the void, with an astonishing spirit.
No wonder the Demon Lord Mangcang was so powerful and mighty in the past. He must have been a man of extraordinary talent to have created such a sword technique.
Lu Qingshan's heart was shaken and he couldn't help but sigh.
The Demon Lord Mangcang only uses the sword as his weapon, but he can evolve such powerful swordsmanship.
What about the sword immortals who have truly practiced swordplay all their lives and take the sword as their companion? How will their sword skills manifest the universe, divide and unite heaven and earth, and create a magnificent spectacle?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel infinite longing in his heart.
Lu Qingshan concentrated on the deduction, wanting to comprehend it thoroughly and not wanting to miss any details.
He gradually became obsessed with it, forgetting about the outside world, and absorbed the essence of swordsmanship to strengthen himself and increase his accumulation.
The soul in his sea of consciousness between his eyebrows began to glow.
Holy light of awakening.
An unimaginable blessing.
…
Kill Wu Mozun in his residence.
The steward was reporting the news to Demon Lord Shi Wu.
"Qing Ge participated in the ancestral worship ceremony, and after the ceremony, he had a conflict with Ying Jie?" Demon Lord Shi Wu frowned.
"What is he doing?"
"Qing Ge doesn't look like such an unwise person. " Demon Lord Shi Wu said thoughtfully.
Although he favors Ying Jie, he still has some favorable impression on Qing Ge.
Although Qingge is not as good as Yingjie, he can still be called a genius.
Who would be dissatisfied with having such a son-in-law?
So, if possible, he would like to have them all.
However, if Qingge and Yingjie really had an irreconcilable conflict, he would have no choice but to abandon Qingge.
"Is the conflict serious?" asked Demon Lord Shi Wu.
The steward said: "It's quite serious. His Highness Yingjie seems to be very angry."
Demon Lord Shi Wu tapped the table with his fingertips. He felt that things were a bit difficult and was thinking about how to deal with Qing Ge.
Just at this moment.
A guard from the mansion rushed in at great speed, arrived at the door, and said, "Master Demon, I have something important to report!"
Wu Shi Mo Zun raised his head and said, "Come in and talk."
The guard hurriedly opened the door and walked in, kneeling on one knee on the ground, and said loudly: "Demon Lord, Demon Lord Zhonghe sent someone to report that Qingge is on the Sword Control Platform and has triggered a change in the Battle Method Monument!"
Wu Shi Mo Zun was startled, and then a strange look appeared on his calm face, "What did you say?"
An unhealthy flush appeared on the guard's face. He swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Qing Ge has touched the battle method monument. Just like His Highness Ying Jie, he has realized the Mangcang battle method!"
The steward's breathing became rapid and he suddenly looked up at the Demon Lord Shi Wu.
"Master Demon, this..."
Demon Lord Shi Wu fell silent.
There was a divine light in his eyes that made people dare not look directly at it, and his mood was particularly complicated.
He didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
A genius that hasn't appeared in three thousand years appeared two in just a few days.
One is his grandson-in-law, and the other is his future son-in-law.
But these two people just don't get along with each other.
And because of his favoritism, the conflict between the two has further intensified to the point where it is irreconcilable.
Originally, this didn’t matter. The worst that could happen was that Qingge would be abandoned.
Although it is a pity to give up such a son-in-law, compared with Yingjie, Qingge is still too insignificant.
Now, Qingge actually gave himself such an important bargaining chip!
Things are going wrong.
"Master Demon, do you want to go to the Sword Controlling Platform to take a look?" the steward asked cautiously.
When Ying Jie was comprehending the Mangcang fighting method, Demon Lord Shi Wu was there in person and waited for a long time.
This shows the respect for Yingjie.
Demon Lord Shi Wu pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "I'm a little tired, so I won't join in the fun."
The manager said nothing more, but he knew it all.
If he really has to choose between the two, Demon Lord Shi Wu would still prefer Ying Jie.
This is also easy to understand.
Both of them have the ability to comprehend the Mangcang fighting method.
But compared with others, one is the future son-in-law and the other is the grandparent, so there is a difference in closeness.
One is of mixed blood, and the other is of pure blood. Although bloodline is not a big problem that cannot be changed, why should we give up a ready-made pure blood and choose a possible pure blood?
Finally, Demon Lord Shi Wu has shown a gesture of favoring Ying Jie.
Now, if Qingge suddenly changes his flag just because he has also comprehended the Mangcang tactics, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?
The Demon Lord needs to save face.
However, the manager also understood that although Demon Lord Shi Wu was more inclined towards Ying Jie in his heart, from now on, he would definitely not regard Qing Ge as an insignificant pawn, but would try his best to reconcile the relationship between the two.
Even if we cannot make them shake hands and make peace, we can at least give them enough benefits so that they will stop confronting each other.
…
The sacred place of Yujiantai.
Those demon cultivators who were originally preparing to leave, felt the changes here, and turned back in unison.
They could not hide the shock on their faces.
As time passed, more and more people who did not attend the ancestor worship ceremony received the news and rushed over.
The Sword Control Platform became increasingly lively.
From time to time, they would also turn their eyes to Ying Jie and Demon Lord Honglie.
It can be seen that although the father and son are trying hard to suppress their emotions, the gloom in their eyes cannot be concealed.
"It's very interesting." Someone sighed.
The situation suddenly changed from the original crushing momentum to a near-equal one.
After Qing Ge triggered the change in the Bloodstain Battle Monument, although he still had a gap in status and position compared to Ying Jie, the gap was only very small.
The Ying Realm could no longer suppress and harass him as they did before.
Looking at the ever-changing bloodstains on the Bloodstain Battle Method Monument and listening to the whispers of others, Ying Jie had a blank expression but endless anger in his heart.
He clenched his palms tightly, and because of the force, his slightly sharp nails even pierced into the palm of his hand, causing a subtle pain.
At this time, the divine light on the Bloodstain Battle Method Monument gradually faded, and the ferocious Bloodstain returned to its original position.
"It's over," seeing this, Demon Lord Zhonghe murmured, "It's much faster than Yingjie."
It also took Ying Jie a whole day to comprehend the Bloodstain Battle Monument.
Lu Qingshan only took less than half an hour.
The demon cultivators present also noticed this difference and began to discuss it subconsciously.
The sound of those discussions drifted into Ying Jie's ears.
Although it was simply a statement of fact, no one would say anything directly about him, let alone belittle him.
But to him, every word seemed to be saying that he was not as good as Qingge.
"He has comprehended the Blood Mark Battle Monument, and I have also comprehended the Blood Mark Battle Monument. So what if he is faster than me? Isn't the result still the same?" Ying Jie said in a cold voice, as if talking to himself, but actually he was responding to everyone.
"That's the truth." Demon Lord Zhonghe also heard what Ying Jie said and nodded silently.
Besides, no one has ever said what the speed of comprehending the battle monument means.
Shaking his head and not thinking any more, Demon Lord Zhonghe took a step forward, ready to say a few polite words to "Qingge" who had just come to his senses, to express goodwill on behalf of the Chizun faction.
But the next moment, his steps froze again, his eyes trembled, and he looked at the sword platform in disbelief, "What does he want to do?"
Under the Battle Method Monument, Lu Qingshan had just put down his hand that was pressed against the Blood-Stained Battle Method Monument.
His eyes were bright and it was obvious that he had gained a lot.
However, after standing there quietly for less than a breath, he raised his eyes and looked at another combat monument next to the Bloodstain Combat Monument.
There are countless stars painted on it, and in the center is a scarlet moon.
They named this battle stele the Red Moon Battle Stele.
Lu Qingshan took a step forward and walked towards the Red Moon Battle Monument.
Everyone's attention, including Ying Jie and Demon Lord Honglie, inevitably focused on Lu Qingshan at this moment.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Qingshan walked to the Red Moon Battle Method Monument.
Then, as he did before, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it tightly against the Red Moon Battle Method Monument, feeling the cool touch of the monument.
After a moment.
"It's moving, it's moving, the Red Moon Battle Monument is moving too!" There was a demon cultivator in the crowd, so excited that his voice began to tremble.
But at this point, no one is interested in these details anymore.
Everyone's eyes focused and they trembled slightly.
The battle monument engraved with countless stars and red moons suddenly lit up at this moment.
The light of the red moon in the center is particularly dazzling and extremely bright.
It flashes an infinite moonlight, pulling the surrounding stars to constantly change their positions, connecting with each other, forming one wonderful star array after another.
Lu Qingshan stood under the Red Moon Battle Monument, his body completely covered by the bright moonlight, extremely dazzling.
"Including Yingjie, in the history of my Burning Moon Region, there have been a total of fifteen people who have comprehended the Mangcang Battle Method, and only two of them have touched the two Battle Method Monuments. And these two predecessors later became Demon Lords!"
"Qing Ge, he is the third one!"
"The third person in history!"
The demon cultivators who witnessed this scene didn't know how to describe the shock in their hearts.
