Chapter 986: Third Rank
After entering the Demon Refining Mountain, passing through the mountain gate, and walking straight up the mountain, Mo Hua suddenly stopped after a few steps and shouted to the forest beside him:
"Elder Xun."
After a while, Elder Xun slowly walked out from the lush forest.
Mo Hua thought to himself that it was as expected, so he bowed and said with a smile:
"Elder Xun, I am going to the mountain to practice a little method. It is not a big deal, so I will not bother you to follow me."
Slaying the God Out of the Body is a more advanced application of the Divine Mind Sword True Art.
The Taixu Divine Mind Sword True Art is the Taixu Sect's forbidden sword technique.
When the Dugu Patriarch passed it to Mo Hua, he clearly prohibited him from telling anyone.
It was not convenient for Mo Hua to let Elder Xun Ziyou see it.
Xun Ziyou thought about it for a while, and immediately understood it in his heart.
What Mo Hua wants to practice should be some relatively confidential inheritance.
Either the formation, the Taoism, or the body skills...
These inheritances must have been taught to him by the ancestor.
And considering the ancestor's preference for Mo Hua and Mo Hua's own extraordinary qualifications, the methods he taught must be extraordinary, and it is indeed inconvenient for him to peek.
Xun Ziyou guessed correctly.
But what he didn't expect was that the "ancestor" was indeed the ancestor, but not the "ancestor" he thought of.
Xun Ziyou confirmed again, "Is it really okay?"
Mo Hua nodded, "Well, I'll do it, don't worry."
Xun Ziyou thought about it and it was true. In the closed Gushan Tomb, with so many late Jindan demons, Mo Hua was able to get along with them easily, not to mention that this was in the Demon Refining Mountain in broad daylight.
"Okay." Xun Ziyou nodded, "I'll drink tea at the entrance of the mountain. If you encounter anything, tell me with the Taixu Order."
"Well, thank you, Elder Xun." Mo Hua bowed.
Xun Ziyou waved his hand, "You can practice by yourself, I won't disturb you."
Since Mo Hua didn't let him follow, he was happy to be idle.
Anyway, he was drinking tea at the entrance of the mountain. If Mo Hua encountered any problem, he would rush over immediately.
After saying that, Xun Ziyou turned around and walked down the mountain.
But as he walked, he suddenly paused and wondered:
"How did Mo Hua know that I was hiding in that forest just now?"
Guessed it?
If he guessed it, it would be normal. After all, this kid is very smart. He should be able to guess it since he often follows him.
But if he guessed it, it would be unlikely that he would guess so accurately and guess the location where he was hiding directly...
Could it be... sensed?
Xun Ziyou's heart skipped a beat.
He was in the late Jindan stage, and he had learned from his mistakes. He had enough experience in "tracking" Mo Hua, and he was careful enough. His aura was also restrained...
How could he be sensed like this?
It's not that weird...
Xun Ziyou frowned.
...
On the other side, Mo Hua had already arrived at the Demon Refining Mountain.
He wanted to choose a demon beast to "test the sword".
Demon beasts have strong bodies, deep demon power, greed and bloodthirstiness, and are generally one level stronger than cultivators.
Therefore, the realm of this demon beast should preferably be the middle stage of the second rank.
The late stage of the second rank will be a bit more difficult, but it will be OK.
As for the third rank...
Mo Hua will not consider it for the time being.
The third rank is a demon beast in the Jindan realm, with terrifyingly thick blood and demon power, and he is no match for it.
In fact, Mo Hua is not even interested in dealing with a third rank demon beast.
Because it is meaningless.
As long as he is a little careless and is hit by the Jindan demon beast, even if it is just a light touch, he will probably die.
Moreover, Mo Hua is not sure whether his sword can hurt a third rank demon beast.
If he could use his full strength to release the power of the sword that integrates the five elements sword formation, Taixu sword intention, and Taishang Zhanqing without loss, Mo Hua would have the confidence to kill the demon consciousness of the third-grade demon beast.
But now he uses his eyes as a hole and his spiritual power as a guide to break the wall of reality and illusion, and the power of the divine mind sword he releases is only one-tenth.
Then he is unsure.
What else can you ask for with one-tenth of the power?
Therefore, it is best to find a second-grade middle-level to test the sword. Even if he can't kill, he can run away, and there is no pressure at all.
Mo Hua made up his mind and then wandered in the mountains.
Counting it up, he hasn't come to the Demon Refining Mountain to hunt demons for a long time. The surrounding scenes are both familiar and a little strange.
But as he walked around, Mo Hua found something wrong.
There seemed to be fewer demon beasts in the Demon Refining Mountain.
The whole mountain was much quieter.
He walked for several miles, but didn't see even a shadow of a monster.
Mo Hua frowned, "Where are the monsters?"
"Were they all killed?"
"Who did it?"
Mo Hua pondered for a while, and then slowly realized that it seemed that...
His junior brothers from Taixu Sect killed them...
They should still be using their own "monster hunting strategy", using their own monster hunting formations, wearing their own monster hunting armor, and using the monster hunting magic tools he asked Master Gu to customize, to kill these monsters...
They cooperated well with each other, and the efficiency of "Tao soldiers" hunting monsters was naturally high, and the killing was also fast.
But it shouldn't have been so fast.
The reason why they killed so quickly was probably because the three sects merged.
Taixu Sect, Tai'a Sect and Chongxu Sect merged together, and the number of disciples increased by more than three times.
The size of Mo Hua's junior disciples naturally expanded.
The three sects merged into one, and they were of the same blood.
The disciples of Tai'a Sect and Chongxu Sect also called Mo Hua "junior brother", and followed his "monster hunting process".
It was equivalent to that there were originally one team of "Dao soldiers", but now there are three teams.
The speed of hunting is naturally faster.
And there is more...
Mo Hua is now in the eighth year of Taixu Sect, and he is already a disciple of the late foundation building period.
There are two new batches of disciples in front of him.
These disciples are also following the monster hunting process formulated by him, "senior brother Mo", and going into the mountains to hunt monsters.
In this way, there are more people...
Mo Hua's scalp tingled when he thought about it.
The Demon Refining Mountain is very large, and there are many monsters. It is not possible to really kill them all, but at least the mountain of Taixu Sect cannot support his group of junior disciples of Taixu Sect.
Moreover, monsters are not fools.
Once the "Tao Soldier Transformation" monster hunting is completed, the monsters will run to other hills by themselves.
In this way, there will be even fewer monsters in the "territory" of Taixu Sect.
"Don't leave me some..."
Mo Hua sighed as he looked at the empty hill.
Moreover, he also realized that this would not work.
This killing was too ruthless. Don't let them really kill all the monsters in the Demon Refining Mountain one day.
"I have to think of a way to formulate some rules when I go back to ensure the sustainable reproduction of the monsters in the Demon Refining Mountain..."
Mo Hua said silently in his heart.
Otherwise, the Demon Refining Mountain was fine before he came.
After he came, all the monsters on the mountain were killed.
Doesn't it make him look like a "disaster star".
No, no...
Mo Hua shook his head repeatedly.
After that, he continued to look for monsters.
But after wandering around for a while, he didn't find a suitable target. Occasionally, he saw a few, but they were too weak and there was no need to use the sword.
Mo Hua had no choice but to walk a little deeper into the Demon Refining Mountain.
There should be more monsters in the depths.
After leaving the mountaintop of Taixu Gate, we continued to walk deeper. The mountain was steep, the forest was gloomy, and the miasma was heavy. As expected, there were more monsters.
Not long after, Mo Hua encountered a yellow marten rat monster.
It was in the middle stage of the second grade, with dark yellow fur and strong wind when running. Although it was a rat monster, it was as tall as a person.
When the rat monster saw Mo Hua, who was alone, its nose moved and it smelled the fresh human scent. It immediately rushed over without any explanation.
Monsters eat people, and they are never polite.
Mo Hua condensed the fireball technique and fought with the yellow marten rat monster.
The figures of one person and one monster intertwined, and the yellow wind and fireballs whistled. After fighting for dozens of rounds, Mo Hua slowly frowned.
After fighting with the yellow marten rat monster, he realized a problem.
The real world is not like the sea of consciousness.
The killing in the sea of consciousness is a naked battle of divine consciousness. Each other's killing moves can directly harm the divine consciousness and even the soul.
But in reality, the divine consciousness of people is stored in the sea of consciousness.
The demon consciousness of monsters is also stored in the sea of skull.
This is a restriction, but also a protection.
Mo Hua's divine consciousness is not strong enough to directly penetrate the flesh and blood to harm the divine consciousness or demon consciousness of cultivators or monsters.
At least, he does not have this ability now.
The only way is the eyes.
The divine consciousness turns into a sword and leaves Mo Hua's eyes. It must pass through the eyes of other cultivators or monsters to hurt their inner consciousness.
He has to look into the monster's eyes.
The monster also has to look into his eyes.
Only in this way can the sword of killing the gods be effective.
This is a problem that Mo Hua realized when he was fighting with the yellow marten rat monster.
But the problem is that the yellow marten rat monster in front of him is big in size, but has small eyes.
Blood-red, narrow, cat-eye-like eyes were distributed on both sides of the rat demon's head.
It was difficult for Mo Hua to look it in the eye.
In addition, this yellow marten rat demon moved quickly, running left and right, stirring up a long yellow wind, rolling sand, blocking the line of sight, and Mo Hua could hardly catch its eyes.
Without seeing the eyes, the sword of the god-slaying could not penetrate the flesh and blood and cut into its soul.
He could not use this yellow marten rat demon to "test the sword".
After fighting for dozens of rounds, the small eyes of the yellow marten rat demon still did not give Mo Hua any chance.
Mo Hua had no choice but to give up.

Although if he really wanted to kill this second-grade middle-stage rat demon, he could kill it with some means.
But this would take too much effort.
He went into the mountain to test the sword, not to hunt monsters.
What's more, this is the Demon Refining Mountain. If the battle lasts for a long time, the noise will be too loud, which will easily attract other monsters and get into trouble.
Mo Hua looked at the Yellow Sable Rat Demon again, and his figure flashed, turned into water mist, and disappeared directly.
At this time, the Yellow Sable Rat Demon didn't know that it was its little eyes that saved it.
Seeing Mo Hua turned into water mist and disappeared without a trace.
The Yellow Sable Rat Demon was stunned for a moment and roared in anger.
It put its nose on the ground and sniffed for a long time, and finally smelled a hint of delicious smell again.
The Yellow Sable Rat Demon was greedy, but its movements hesitated.
Although its intelligence was weak, its instincts were alert. After fighting for nearly a hundred rounds, it had already noticed that this young boy of the human race was different from ordinary cultivators.
It seemed that he had no skills, and the only thing he could do was a fireball spell, but he had a creepy aura hidden in him.
The yellow marten demon bared its teeth, but didn't dare to chase after him. It arched its body, got into the ground, and fled to the other side.
In the woods on the other side, Mo Hua was still looking for monsters.
Later, he met several monsters, including wolf monsters, dog monsters, snake monsters, and bear monsters, ranging from the middle to late second-grade realms.
But there was not a single one that allowed him to test his sword properly.
Monsters are not like humans. They are of different species and have strange appearances.
These monsters have crooked eyes, slanted eyes, squinting eyes, small eyes, or one eye... It's not easy to look at each other.
There is even one that is blind, which makes Mo Hua very angry.
In addition, these monsters are all flexible and cunning.
Mo Hua struggled for a long time, but didn't cut a single sword.
Not only that, because he provoked too many monsters, it caused a commotion.
Many monsters fought with each other to eat him.
But Mo Hua's body movements were too agile, so they couldn't eat Mo Hua, but rolled up together and started fighting each other.
The monsters were low in intelligence and had a strong murderous nature. Once they fought and saw blood, they could not restrain their ferocity and started biting each other.
The small forest was immediately in chaos.
The demonic energy was rampant, the roar shook the mountain, and the wave spread out.
Even Xun Ziyou, who was sitting at the mountain gate, heard the roars of the monsters one after another.
Xunzi drank tea leisurely and didn't care much.
This is the Demon Refining Mountain, where there are clusters of monsters and disciples hunting monsters. Whether there is something wrong or not, there will always be a few monster roars coming from the mountains and forests.
Xun Ziyou was used to it and didn't take it to heart, but after a while, his heart suddenly jumped.
Because he realized that today was different from usual.
Today Mo Hua went up the mountain!
There must be a monster when things are abnormal.
Mo Hua is the "monster".
Wherever he goes, something might happen.
Xun Ziyou is Mo Hua's "bodyguard", and he has a lot of experience in this kind of thing.
The forest is quiet, and the roar of the monster continues.
Xun Ziyou's heart is hanging, and the good tea in his mouth has no taste.
Although this little commotion doesn't seem to be a big deal, things related to Mo Hua are generally not simple.
Xun Ziyou hesitated for a long time, and still put down the teacup, "No, I have to go and see."
He couldn't drink this tea.
Go and see, even if there is really nothing, it will be more reassuring to take a look.
Xun Ziyou gathered his sleeves and stood up. His figure flashed, turning into a sword light, stepping on the treetops in the mountains, and fled directly to the Demon Refining Mountain.
Halfway through the journey, he restrained his breath and activated the hidden spiritual weapon, quietly shuttled through the mountains and forests, and quietly approached the mountain where the monsters were rioting.
When he got to the front of the mountain, he saw a group of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, all in a black mass, fighting happily, with blood all over the ground.
Xun Ziyou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked around, and finally found Mo Hua on a big tree nearby.
At this time, Mo Hua was riding on a big tree branch, watching the show.
The monsters below were killing fiercely, and he seemed quite leisurely on top.
Xun Ziyou breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little speechless.
He knew that this commotion must have been caused by Mo Hua.
Now the monsters were fighting with blood on their heads, and he was just sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight.
Xun Ziyou shook his head.
But since he was here, he couldn't just leave like that.
Xun Ziyou didn't say anything, nor did he show any traces, and temporarily stayed aside.
But then he thought about it again, and felt that this distance was a little unsafe, and might be noticed by Mo Hua, so he quietly moved further away.
And on the tree, Mo Hua stared at the chaotic monsters below, feeling helpless.
He didn't want to make such a big noise, but there was no way, these monsters didn't cooperate with him at all.
If there was a monster with big eyes and stared at him honestly for a while, he would have finished the sword test long ago, and there would not be such a big commotion.
"Let's wait and see which monster is injured, tie it up with the formation, and force it to look into my eyes..."
Mo Hua thought for a moment and felt that this was the only way.
So, he rode on the tree and watched the monsters kill each other quietly. When the situation calmed down, he would take action to pick up the leaks.
But after waiting for a while, before the commotion subsided, a more violent demonic aura suddenly came from afar.
Mo Hua's face changed.
Even Xun Ziyou, who was far away, narrowed his eyes.
"Third-grade... monster?"
Before the two of them could think about it, just a few breaths passed, and a gust of black sand rolled in, with flying sand and rocks, and the smell of blood was so strong that it was creepy.
The surrounding earth and wood were all rolled back.
A mountain-like figure emerged faintly from the black smoke.
Sharp beak and fangs, eyes like lanterns, pupils like copper bells, dark skin as hard as iron, with barbed hair.
Full of blood, like a river.
Amazing demonic power, surging and pulsating in its body.
This is a black pig demon of the third-grade Jindan realm!
The third-grade black pig demon is almost at the top of the strength among the several hills around the Demon Refining Mountain.
Especially the pig demon with strong blood, thick skin and flesh, like a mountain, can almost devour any second-grade middle and late-stage demon beast.
And when the third-grade black pig demon appeared in the rolling black gas, the originally chaotic forest was instantly choked.
Those second-grade demon beasts that were still fighting each other were trembling with limbs, terrified and fled wildly.
Those who moved a little slower were stepped on by the huge pig demon in just a moment, and half of their bodies were bitten off in one bite.
A second-grade bear demon wanted to resist due to its large size, but as soon as it came face to face, the fangs of the third-grade pig demon pierced the chest and was thrown to the ground.
Then the fangs swung down and immediately disemboweled a bear demon.
A few of the other monsters did not escape, and were bitten one by one by the black pig monster, chewing them until their bones were shattered and their flesh and blood were mashed.
The mountain forest, which was originally bustling with turmoil, fell into dead silence in just a few breaths.
Most of the commotion monsters turned into corpses.
Only the sound of the pig demon gnawing bones and flesh and the bloody breathing echoed in the forest.
The ink painting is riding on the tree, not daring to show its atmosphere.
This was the first time that he had seen a third-grade golden elixir realm monster up close with his own eyes, and it was such a big one. Just looking at it made him feel oppressive, not to mention the strong monster power and the smelly blood. And that brutal killing intent...
Mo Hua felt a slight chill on his back.
"what to do?"
"run?"
Mo Hua thought about it and it seemed that this was the only way. He didn't want to risk taking action against a third-grade pig demon like this hill.
It's too dangerous.
Mo Hua made up his mind and stood up slowly.
But it was okay that he didn't move. As soon as he made a move, the black pig demon eating below immediately stopped chewing, and the red light in his eyes flickered.
The ink painting stagnated, and a warning sign suddenly appeared in my heart.
"not good!"
He immediately jumped up and jumped away from the tree.
The next moment, the big tree under him immediately split into two halves.
The black pig demon just hit it lightly, and used its immeasurable demon power to split the big tree from the middle. The wood chips were flying, and the big tree fell to the ground.
This third-grade pig demon is extremely alert and has an unusually keen sense of smell for human scent.
The desire for human flesh seems to be very strong
Seeing Mo Hua jump away, the black pig demon roared angrily, and the mountain-like figure crashed into it again like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
All the big trees along the way were like small grass saplings, being knocked apart one by one by it.
Mo Hua gritted his teeth, used all his strength to activate his body, and fled far away.
The black pig demon stared with ferocious eyes like copper bells, set off gusts of demonic wind, billowing black energy, and chased Mo Hua...
