Chapter 1977 Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Daluo

Although they had been prepared, the four subordinate city lords were shocked by Erqi's generosity and wanted to immediately suggest that Erqi change the rule that city lords were not allowed to participate in the martial arts competition.

"Haha, don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhu, there is just one more in the sulfur flame blood cloud library, and what I promised you before will not change."

Seeing Zhu Yan's expression change slightly, Erqi immediately chuckled and comforted him.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your understanding. The sulfur flame blood cloud is too important to Zhu."

Zhu Yan bowed his hands in thanks.

"So, after the martial arts competition, Fellow Daoist Zhu will break through the heavenly barrier? It's really a cause for celebration!"

Fu Jian turned his eyes and congratulated with a slightly sour tone.

"Haha, my Xuancheng will have another Daluo Xuanshi. In the future, whether it is dealing with those scale beasts or the thieves in the puppet city, it will be much easier."

Qin Yuan acted very friendly, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Luo Hong secretly looked at Zhu Yan, who had become the center of discussion, and thought of the previous conversation with him.

Zhu Yan had made it clear that he would stay in Jilin Void Realm in the future and would not return to Demon Realm with Luo Hong.

Obviously, he wanted to avoid the fight for the throne this time.

"You are still too naive. Every fight for the throne will affect the entire Demon Realm. Jilin Void Realm is also in the Demon Realm, so how can it stay out of it?

Calculating the time, the team from Puppet City should have set off. I wonder where they are?"

Looking at the first round of Xuan Dou that was about to unfold in Shura Field, Luo Hong's mind flew out of Xuancheng.

Jilin Void Realm, a desert that was separated from Xuancheng by thousands of miles, was howling with wind and dust.

In this seemingly chaotic world, huge black shadows were moving forward steadily.

A small scaled beast that looked like a lizard approached and saw that those black shadows were all huge scaled beasts.

The leader was a black-scaled elephant that was over a hundred feet tall!

However, unlike normal wild black-scaled elephants, this big guy was not only covered with thick scales, but also had thick metal armor covering the weak parts.

What was even more special was that there were seven or eight fist-sized animal cores on its chest, embedded in its flesh in a ring shape!

In addition, the two long tusks of this black-scaled elephant had been cut off, replaced by two sharp spears shining with starlight, exuding a compelling breath.

The lizard-scaled beast turned its head and met the eyes of the black-scaled elephant, but saw that its eye sockets were deep and dark inside. There was no eyeball at all, but there were obvious signs of shrinkage and dryness on the edge of the eye socket.

This was a corpse, and those behind.

Thinking of this, the lizard-scaled beast felt a chill in his heart and fled back to the cave like a fly.

At the same time, in a black stone hall carried on the back of a black-scaled elephant, a woman in a black long skirt, with a slender figure and a light veil on her face, was sitting cross-legged on a three-foot-square black stone platform.

"How long will it take to reach Xuancheng?"

The woman in the black skirt asked in a soft and lazy voice, as if she was talking to herself.

"Reporting to the city lord, it's less than a month's journey."

A female voice came from the shadow of the hall.

"Well, after so many years of preparation, the time has finally come. Do you have any problems?"

The woman in the black skirt nodded slightly, then looked at another stone platform in the shadow and asked solemnly.

"Don't worry, city lord, I'm here to make sure you can take out the holy remains.

But before entering that place, you'd better deal with my thirteenth brother to avoid any accidents."

A man's voice was faintly heard.

"According to the information sent back by the insider, your thirteenth brother has been controlled by Erqi, which is not easy to deal with.

But don't worry, once we enter there, we will have plenty of opportunities!"

The black-skirted woman curled her lips and showed a smile that was enough to charm everyone.

More than twenty days have passed since the Five Cities Martial Arts Competition began. Although Luo Hong has not left the field, he has not missed any Xuan Dou.

After all, after he came to Jilin Kongjing, although his Xuan Dao cultivation has improved very quickly, in just thirty or forty years, he has become a Daluo Xuanshi, but he has not had many opportunities for actual combat.

Watching the battle like this really gave him a lot of insights.

"The more you practice Xuan Dao, the more comprehensive your physical body will be. The strength and speed of opponents of the same level are often not too different. At this time, in order to win, in addition to external objects such as Xuanqi and Xingqi, you have to rely on the killer moves you master!"

Luo Hong concluded secretly in his heart.

You can master many fighting skills, but there is always only one killer move.

If you use a killing move but fail to defeat your opponent, then you are usually doomed to fail.

After all, the characteristic of a killing move is that it is powerful but will cause the user to lose strength temporarily.

In other words, if a killing move is used well, it can even allow a Xuanshi to defeat a strong opponent with a weak one, but if it is used poorly, it will most likely be a waste.

"What should my Xuandao killing move be?"

Luo Hong couldn't help but think about it. He has collected a lot of fighting skills over the years, but he has not yet evolved his own Xuandao killing move.

It's not that he is incapable, but that he is still hesitant in his heart.

On the path of Xuandao, he has not yet seen his true nature!

Suddenly, a breath of a Daluo Xuanshi approached quickly, interrupting Luo Hong's thoughts.

He turned his head and saw a sinister man with a black robe and an eagle nose rushing quickly from the direction of the city wall. After just a few leaps, he came to the high platform and bowed to Erkui with a solemn expression.

The next moment, Ewan's expression changed. He suddenly stood up and looked in a direction outside the city, his expression getting colder and colder.

When everyone saw this, they immediately realized that the sinister man had brought some bad news, and couldn't help but communicate with each other with their eyes.

"The Five-City Martial Arts Competition is suspended. Everyone must return to their residences. No one is allowed to go out without orders!"

Before Chen Yang and others could explain the situation, Ehuang announced in a loud voice.

Hearing this, not only the residents of Xuancheng who were watching the battle in the Shura Field were dumbfounded, but even the Xuancheng of the Five Cities who had not yet finished the fight stopped with a confused look on their faces.

For a moment, the Shura field in Nuoda was completely silent!

But soon, the Xuanshi in charge of order began to urge the crowd in accordance with Ewan's order, making the Shura Field lively again.

"You should also take your own people back to the other gardens, and you are not allowed to walk around the city without permission!"

At this time, Equan turned his head and gave instructions to Chen Yang and other city lords, and then his body swayed and disappeared from the high platform out of thin air.

Except Luo Hong, no one saw clearly how he left.

When the sinister man saw this, he once again put his foot down, soared into the sky like a giant eagle, and landed on a building far away in one leap, and disappeared after another leap.

"With such quick movements, I know that there can't be only one Daluo Xuanshi in Xuancheng, Ewan."

Luo Hong cursed in his heart as he followed Zhu Yan down the platform.

Just after returning to Bieyuan, Han Li came to the door with Zi Ling.

"Senior Brother Luo, what happened to stop the Five Cities Martial Arts Competition?"

"Junior Brother Han, this is the opportunity we are waiting for. Brother Wei originally thought he would appear after the Five Cities Martial Arts Competition, but he didn't expect the people in Puppet City to be more impatient than I expected."

As soon as Luo Hong finished speaking, the sound of "dong dong" drums came from outside.

The sound of this drum was loud and distant, shocking, and could even affect the heartbeats of the black men in the city!

"This should be the sound of the mighty war drum of Heaven. It seems that Puppet City is really coming."

Zhu Yan listened for a moment and then said in a deep voice.

It turns out that there is a very special war drum in Xuancheng. Its name is "Tianwei". Once it is sounded, someone is going to attack Xuancheng.

And if a beast tide broke out, there must have been warnings, so the only way to do it now was the Puppet City army.

"Senior Brother Luo, when I asked you about the specific situation before, you said that the time has not come yet. Can you help me clear up my doubts now?"

Knowing that the arrival of Puppet City was expected by Luo Hong, the panic in Han Li's heart immediately dissipated.

"Of course, junior brother should also know that whether it is Xuancheng or Puppet City, there is not much exploration of the Jilin Sky Realm.

This is not only because there are so many large scale beasts, but also because the void deep in the Sky Realm is so unpredictable that it can even swallow up an entire exploration team.

But along with great dangers, there are also great opportunities.

The top treasures circulating in Xuancheng, such as Tianlin Meteor Crystal, Sulfur Blood Cloud and other objects, were obtained from the secret realms deep in the Scales Sky Realm. "

Luo Hong said calmly.

"Yes, I heard about this in Chenyang."

Han Li nodded and replied.

“But he will definitely not tell you that there is actually the biggest secret realm hidden deep in the Jilin Sky Realm, and its name is the ‘Great Ruins’!

This secret realm is usually inaccessible. Only when the million-year seal is weakened can we have the opportunity to explore.

Prior to this, only E Pang knew the exact location of the Great Ruins. In fact, he was so generous with his martial arts this time because he wanted to bring eighteen powerful black men into the Great Ruins.

The stronger you are, the greater his final harvest will be.

In comparison, those rewards for martial arts are nothing at all!

But now that Puppet City is here, it is obvious that he also wants to take advantage of the Great Ruins. "

As Luo Hong spoke, he sat down cross-legged and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.

"In this case, the two sides must not fight each other. We are involved in it, but the danger is not small!"

Han Li was very worried.

"No, if the people from Puppet City come here before Xuancheng sets out, it will make this battle impossible!"

Zi Ling shook her head when she heard this, and then saw Han Li looking towards him and explained:

“The primary purpose of both Xuanpuppet cities is undoubtedly to enter the Great Ruins, and the secondary purpose is to prevent the other party from entering.

If Puppet City came after Xuancheng set off, they could either attack Xuancheng, which was weakly defended, or they could choose to ambush Xuancheng's exploration team halfway.

Nothing could be better than showing up now and facing Xuancheng's entire combat power.

This shows that Puppet City actually does not want to take action, but rather wants to cooperate. "

"Purple Spirit Fairy's words are reasonable, but this is not entirely a good thing. Puppet City is so careful because he must not have the confidence to enter the Great Ruins alone. This shows the danger!"

Zhu Yan agreed with Zi Ling's speculation, but at the same time he couldn't help but worry about the dangers in the ruins.

"If we want to leave the Jilin Sky Realm, the Great Ruins are a hurdle we cannot avoid!

Moreover, both Ehuang and Sha Xin, the lord of the puppet city, wanted to enter it so much. They thought that there must be some huge secret hidden in the ruins.

Once one of them gets this secret, it will inevitably disrupt the current balance.

Luo has no habit of leaving his fate in the hands of others!

Brother Zhu, Luo can promise you that as soon as this trip to the Great Ruins is over, the restrictions on you will be lifted. "

Luo Hong knew very well what was hidden in the ruins, so he had no hesitation at all about entering it.

If he could get the chance, then he would have a chance to achieve physical perfection!

Hearing this, Zhu Yan and the other two said nothing more, but turned back to prepare for entering Daxu.

Luo Hong did not dare to neglect it at this time. He took out the three heaven-level beast cores that Erkui had sent earlier, and swallowed them all at once!

Sitting cross-legged and practicing, eight hundred and forty light spots appeared on Luo Hong's body.

It turned out that after obtaining all the earth-level beast cores in Qingyang City, Luo Hong had already raised his Xuan Dao cultivation to the peak of the early Daluo stage.

And now, he was going to use the power of the three heaven-level beast cores to break through the bottleneck of the middle Daluo stage in one fell swoop!

The black lightning was jumping wildly on Luo Hong's body, and the majestic star power surged out of Luo Hong's abdomen and poured into his limbs and bones, making his whole body of Xuanqiao bloom ten times brighter!

Finally, after seven days and seven nights, Luo Hong's painful expression suddenly eased, and a brand new Xuanqiao appeared in the center of his chest.

"Fortunately, I had perfected the skills before, otherwise this breakthrough would never succeed. The more you practice Xuandao, the more difficult it is!"

If the three heavenly beast cores were placed when Luo Hong had just broken through the early stage of Daluo, it would be enough for him to open eight or nine Xuanqiao in a row.

It would not be like now, where it is difficult to open one at a time.

Even if there is a relationship of breaking through the bottleneck, the gap is still too big.

"But it doesn't matter. With my current physical body and cultivation, it is no problem to pass through the Tianfeng Domain and enter the Tianwai Domain!

As long as I get out of this Jilin Void Realm and let the little black ball refine the almost countless law spiritual materials in the Tianwai Domain, I can have as many heavenly beast cores as I want!"

The future is quite beautiful, but the current difficulties cannot be ignored.

"Before entering the Great Ruins, my Xuan Dao cultivation level could not catch up with Erqi!

The only thing I can rely on is the burst of the Nine Revolutions Xiaolong Gong and my own Xuan Dao killer move."

At present, Luo Hong's deduction of the Nine Revolutions Xiaolong Gong has reached its limit. After activating the secret technique, he can temporarily increase his Xuanqiao by 360 at most.

That is, the number of Xuanqiao at the peak of Taiyi, not twice the number of his own Xuanqiao before.

Obviously, after activating this secret technique, it cannot guarantee that Luo Hong will gain the power to control everything.

In this case, the Xuan Dao killer move that can further enhance Luo Hong's combat power is extremely important.

So, Luo Hong immediately decided to stop practicing and spend the rest of his time on comprehending his own killer move!

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed. As Zi Ling expected, Erqi finally chose to compromise and agreed to Sha Xin's cooperation proposal.
