SWDnovel 12. Controlling the situation
12. Controlling the situation
Teng Xielang knew that there were two great divine weapons in the martial arts world today: one was Yu Ren Fei Jing's divine sword Tianqi, and the other was the holy halberd Shentan in front of him.
This series is called "The Record of the Demon Slayer with Swords and Halberds".
The sword and halberd are divine swords and holy halberds, and the demon is naturally Yama, the drought demon.
If he were to transmigrate into a righteous identity, or simply into a Central Plains identity, Teng Xie would definitely support the sword and halberd in suppressing the demons.
However, now that he has also transmigrated into a demon, will he still support the sword and spear demon-slaying campaign?
Tengxie indicated that he still tends to support it.
This isn't because he's sick, has masochistic tendencies, or is mentally unstable.
The problem lies in this "demon".
Tengxie is a demon, but not one whose mission is to destroy the Bitter Realm. Becoming stronger is a basic necessity for survival, but what about beyond survival?
Teng Xie also wants to live; he can't become a fighting maniac and a killer, taking pleasure in fighting and killing all day long.
However, the vast majority of demons in the Otherworld take pleasure in fighting, consider dying in battle an honor, and consider killing and destruction their duty.
And Yama, the strongest demon in the otherworld, is the same.
Moreover, he is a demon lord whose word is law. His only pursuit is to lead every breathing creature in the Otherworld Demon Realm to a state of utter despair.
Yes, it's not just about killing the Emei sect members, but also including the Central Plains heroes, Wanshengyan, Dinglu Fenfeng, and so on, that's all it takes.
Instead, it destroyed everything, just like it did with the Dao Realm, until the entire Dao Realm was reduced to a mere hundred-mile radius.
That's not what Tengxie wanted.
Even Tengxie couldn't change Yama Hanba's mind; no one could.
If you encounter a leader who cannot change your mind and only keeps ordering you to kill, what would you do?
Keep getting stronger until you're stronger than Yama and Hanba, defeat him, and take his place.
Teng Xie was confident that one day he would be able to rival or even surpass Yama Hanba, but that would still not be enough.
If practicing Emei is stronger than Yama and Hanba, has he accepted that?
You have to become stronger than Lian Emei, your output must be higher than Lian Emei's, and you must have a powerful recovery ability that Lian Emei doesn't have. You have to become a combination of Lian Emei and Yanmo Hanba in order to suppress Yanmo Hanba and prevent him from turning the tables.
Even if Tengxie has cheat codes, how long would it take him to reach that level?
How many powerful enemies will Yama and Hanba encounter during this period?
Lian Emei fell, but there was Yi Ye Shu; Yi Ye Shu fell, but there was the Nine Realms Buddha Emperor; the Nine Realms Buddha Emperor fell, but there was also Emperor Tathagata, Heavenly Buddha, and Supreme Imperial Confucian... The righteous path has fallen, but there is also Rahu, the Twin Buddhas of Buddhahood, and the Demon Buddha Mara...
Yama Hanba is fearless, but how many dangerous things will he order Teng Xielang to do?
I can't stand it, I absolutely can't stand it.
Teng Xie thought that if he supported the Demon Lord and followed him to the end, who knows when the righteous path would plot against him and he would be surrounded and killed by a large group of martial arts masters. In the end, he would rush to the grove but still end up in a dead end and die.
He said he couldn't accept any of it.
For Tengxie, Yama Hanba is not important, but the absence of Yama Hanba is very important for his future.
So, to slay the demons? Or not to slay the demons?
We cannot help but slay the demons.
Meanwhile, Teng Xielang, disguised as the young hero Zilongxing, challenged Yan Guiren. Yan Guiren, without hesitation, immediately engaged in battle, wielding the sacred halberd Shentan and launching a fierce attack!
"Well done!"
Zi Shaoxia shouted, but did not attempt to confront Yan Guiren head-on, knowing that the other party possessed superhuman strength.
He dodged with a quick movement, barely avoiding the opponent's powerful splitting strike. And then...!
boom!
As soon as the holy halberd hit the ground, Yan Guiren suddenly twisted his wrist, and countless stones and clods of earth, like cannonballs, enveloped Zi Shaoxia's entire body and slammed towards him!
This is Yan Guiren, not a brute with boundless strength, but a perfect combination of power and skill!
Ding Ding Ding!
Zi Shaoxia sighed inwardly, but his hands were not slow either. The Shura Sword flashed with cold light, deflecting the stones and clods of earth that were attacking him one by one!
However, Yan Guiren had already rushed forward... only to find that his judgment was slightly off!
Yan Guiren had already anticipated all of his opponent's moves. Whether he tried to attack or dodge, he couldn't avoid the sweeping attack that followed. Just as he was about to make his move, his opponent suddenly swung his longsword, striking a rock. He not only used the momentum to retreat but also sent the rock flying back towards his face!
Yan Guiren reacted extremely quickly. He deflected the stone with his left hand, extended his right arm, and with a flick of his wrist, turned the horizontal sweep into a straight thrust, aiming directly at the opponent's face!
when!
Young Master Zi swung his sword to block, but the sword got stuck on the wing of the halberd!
Yan Guiren immediately twisted his wrist, trying to make the opponent withdraw his longsword!
call!
To his surprise, instead of disarming the other man, he flung him and his sword away!
He was about to give chase when he saw his opponent fly out in circles without any pattern, yet still manage to pull out three darts from his waist at just the right moment and throw them quickly and accurately at his face, chest, and lower abdomen.
"Tch, this kid looks all respectable, but he's a complete mess when he fights. What is he?"
Duan Yan Xi Feng, who was watching from the shadows, scoffed at Zi Shao Xia's bizarre moves. A true master should be like Yu Zai (Yu Ren Fei Jing), who moves like the wind, with a sharp and elegant blade... Or like this Yan Gui Ren, who is fierce and brave, but Zi Long Xing is not worthy of the attention.
Bo Hanbo didn't speak, but it wasn't that he agreed with Duan Yan Xifeng; rather, he was looking at Zi Shaoxia in a different light.
He could see that Zi Shaoxia's physical foundation was indeed very poor, but his external skills were really good. Moreover, his control over his body and his grasp of timing were even more admirable. Not everyone can use such strange moves, and not everyone can use so many moves against Yan Guiren.
After comparing the two, Bo Hanbo felt that if he were only at the level of Zi Longxing, he would not have been able to entangle with Yan Guiren for so long.
Meanwhile, Young Master Zi had already fought Yan Guiren for more than twenty rounds, and Yan Guiren was becoming increasingly impatient with this monkey jumping around in front of him.
The problem is, this is near Crystal Lake, and Yan Guiren absolutely does not want to disturb his lover, the woman soaking in the lake.
Zi Shaoxia had anticipated this, and he controlled the scope of the battle well, not getting too close to the woman, so as not to provoke Yan Guiren into trading blows or even fighting him to the death.
However, he wouldn't be too far from the woman, allowing Yan Guiren to unleash his full power and unleash his ultimate moves.
He could then restrict Yan Guiren to using only ordinary moves, allowing him to have a proper fight with him.
So, would it be beneficial for Young Master Zi to limit Yan Guiren's strength and fight him again?
Zi Shaoxia said that he himself was subject to greater restrictions; he could not use his internal energy, and his strength was slightly inferior to Yan Guiren's.
Moreover, the Holy Halberd is a sacred weapon for slaying demons, containing extremely powerful and intense energy that can cause great damage to demons. If Zi Shaoxia is cut even slightly, his identity as a demon will be exposed.
Young Master Zi must be extremely focused and attentive in his battle with Yan Guiren in order to meticulously control the situation and hone his own martial arts skills by utilizing Yan Guiren's superb moves and exceptional adaptability.
As a result, after exchanging a hundred or so moves with Yan Guiren, Zi Shaoxia was already sweating slightly on his forehead. He hadn't expended much physical energy, but his mental energy was being used up too much.
"No, I can't take it anymore!"
