(I know that you are already unable to endure the hunger and thirst, so here's the first update.)
Clouds in the sky, nimble, natural, elegant, ever-changing, omnipresent.
Heart in the body, formless, colorless, tasteless, indefinite, unfettered.
Heart like clouds, clouds following the heart.
With the Cold Edge Sword in hand, he could do as he pleased.
Clearly, he was thrusting his sword forward, but it would instantly turn into a slash, attacking behind him.
That sword seemed to possess a unique intelligence, having its own consciousness, becoming independent and able to appear anywhere around Chen Zong at will, resisting all the attacks aimed at Chen Zong.
One by one, the Devil Race experts charged over from all directions. They even formed a battle formation and surrounded Chen Zong.
The demon race couldn't compare with the human race in the way of battle formations, appearing much cruder. In comparison, when they attacked the surface and suffered a great loss outside the Demon Subduing Fortress, the demon race began to study the human race's way of battle formations.
But the way of battle formations was created by the human race's sages. Although it seemed simple, it actually concealed profound principles. From the beginning of its creation to its gradual perfection, countless years had passed, and the sages had expended a great deal of effort. How could it be so easily studied by the demon race?
When the study was fruitless, a portion of the human race happened to rebel and seek refuge with the demon race. They happened to grasp some of the way of battle formations, which they passed on to the demon race.
Studying by oneself and being taught by others were two completely different concepts.
One was creating something out of nothing, which was extremely difficult, especially for the demon race. The difficulty was inconceivable, but after being taught, there were traces to follow.
Unfortunately, the demon race didn't have any talent in the way of battle formations, and it was very difficult to learn. Therefore, after a few years, they had only grasped a superficial application. Even so, it allowed the demon warriors to cooperate better, allowing them to display even greater strength.
Over a thousand mid-level demon beasts were divided into five waves, one after another surging like a tidal wave. Huge blades slashed out in unison, rolling up an extremely frightening momentum.
At the same time as two hundred huge blades slashed down, the wave of demon beasts retreated in an instant, and the next wave immediately met them. Before the first wave had even settled, another wave rose up in an endless stream.
This kind of battle formation was called the Wave Formation, which was created by the human race's sages after observing the rise and fall of the waves. After many modifications, it was finally finalized.
The Wave Formation was one of the more inferior battle formations, and also the easiest to master.
Even so, only a few demon fighters could master it. This was the shortcoming of demons. Otherwise, if demons could master battle formations like humans, they would definitely become more terrifying.
Under the wave formation, the thousand Demonic Beasts' warriors kept attacking, wave after wave. However, after five waves, there was a slight pause.
Once the Great Success Wave Formation was unleashed, there were not five waves, but an endless stream. The demons only had a rough grasp of it, and were unable to achieve an endless stream.
The five waves of attacks couldn't hurt Chen Zong at all.
Seizing that instant of opportunity, he slashed out with his sword, breaking the Wave Formation, quickly killing and harvesting lives.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The spear pierced through the air.
Those were the spears thrown out by the superior Demonic Beasts. Each spear contained a terrifying power, piercing through the void and shooting towards Chen Zong from all directions.
Chen Zong and Yi Qianqiu had experienced this kind of attack before, and it was very threatening. After all, the superior Demonic Beasts were very powerful. The spears they threw out with all their strength were shockingly powerful. If hit, even with Chen Zong's tyrannical physique, he didn't dare to say that he could completely withstand it.
At that time, Chen Zong and Yi Qianqiu's countermeasure was to join hands, fighting one side while rushing out at the fastest speed. But now, there was only Chen Zong alone. It was reasonable to say that the pressure should be greatly increased, but from Chen Zong's calm face, there wasn't the slightest feeling of pressure.
With a sword in hand, all attacks were blocked five feet away.
The sword was about three feet long. Including the arm and the distance when swinging the sword, it formed a sword circle within five feet. If the sword circle didn't break, all attacks would be blocked.
Not breaking the sword circle was a manifestation of the proficiency of using the heart to control the sword.
The scene that struck fear into the hearts of the Demon Race clansmen was right in front of them. No matter how many spears they shot out, they would be struck down before they could even hit the human. The terrifying power caused the spears to shatter inch by inch from the tip, spreading to the rest of the spears, turning them into dust and dispersing.
This feeling was incomparably wonderful. It was as if with the body as the center, the arm and the long sword as the extension, the area within five feet had become a small world under his control.
If it weren't for the approaching danger, Chen Zong really wanted to use these Demonic Beasts to further practice using the heart to control the sword.
After smashing all the spears that shot towards him, Chen Zong's figure flashed, splitting the air like lightning. The Cold Edge Sword drew a long sword mark across the sky, crossing the horizon.
Kill!
With both the Body Refining and Qi Refining cultivation, he kept killing. The Demonic Beasts in this tribe were getting fewer and fewer. Corpses were everywhere, and the smell of blood filled the air.
When all the superior Seventh Rank to Ninth Rank Demonic Beasts were killed by Chen Zong and refined into Blood Beads, Chen Zong quickly left.
If it were a normal time, he would naturally slaughter the whole tribe of Demonic Beasts. However, this was a medium-sized tribe with tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts. Moreover, Chen Zong didn't want to consume too much strength for this. Therefore, even if they stood still and let Chen Zong kill them, it would take a long time.
What's more, these Demonic Beasts were all using their strength to kill Chen Zong.
In this way, he could kill the superior Seventh Rank to Ninth Rank Demonic Beasts and refine them into Blood Beads.
Chen Zong quickly left to find the next tribe.
There was no lack of Demonic Beasts with special abilities in the Devil Flame Country, or Demonic Beasts that were good at tracking.
For example, the Flying Winged Demonic Beast was a kind of Demonic Beast that was good at tracking. After being cultivated, it became even more outstanding.
Therefore, with the previous lock and follow-up tracking, the Devil Flame Country's General and his party didn't deviate and quickly approached.
Before Chen Zong found the next Demonic Beasts tribe, he felt a terrifying crisis coming.
Raising his head to look towards the western horizon, Chen Zong's eyes narrowed slightly. Bright light shone from them as if he could see through time and space. He saw many black figures approaching at an astonishing speed. The source of the danger was those figures that were rapidly approaching.
Chen Zong didn't escape. He knew that even if he burst out at full speed, he would only delay them for a little longer.
In that case, he would fight.
Unfortunately, he didn't get more Blood Beads to further improve his Physique Refinement Realm.
Although the eighth layer of the Earth Demon Abyss was very large, the flying speed of the Upper Ninth Rank was not slow at all. Moreover, the distance between here and the Devil Flame Country was not too far, so the enemy came quickly.
He took out a pill and consumed it to recover the strength he had consumed before. The eight Spiritual Wheels operated at full speed, crushing and absorbing the pill.
Chen Zong wanted to be in his best condition to fight the Demonic Beasts.
After fifteen breaths, the Devil Flame Country's General arrived with his personal guards and personal guards.
One hundred Winged Demonic Beasts quickly spread out and formed a circular encirclement, surrounding Chen Zong.
The huge Demonic Dragon stopped outside the encirclement. The Devil Flame Country's General's eyes seemed to be burning with black flames as he stared at Chen Zong, immediately putting a lot of pressure on Chen Zong.
Very strong!
Even stronger than the Advanced Demonic Emperor from before.
"Kill!" Although surprised that there was only one human, the Devil Flame Country's General didn't have the slightest intention of wasting his breath. He waved his hand and ordered Chen Zong to be killed.
From this point, it could be seen that the Devil Flame Country's General was a decisive person, and other Demonic Beasts couldn't compare to him.
With the Devil Flame Country's General's order, Chen Zong suddenly felt his hair stand on end.
The Demonic Beasts on the backs of the hundreds of Winged Demonic Beasts took out black bows, quickly nocked black arrows, and pulled the strong bows into a full moon.
Each black arrow was one and a half meters long and as thick as a thumb. The arrowheads were extremely sharp and flashed with a little scarlet cold light.
These weren't ordinary arrows, but Devil Flame Country's special blood poison arrows. Once shot, even a Superior Ninth Rank Demonic Beasts would be poisoned in an instant. Their blood would be corroded and deteriorated, affecting the whole body. In just three breaths, their blood would coagulate and they would lose most of their strength.
One hundred blood poison arrows all locked onto Chen Zong, immediately making Chen Zong's face change slightly, and his hair stand on end.
He couldn't be hit.
Immediately, the one hundred Winged Demonic Beasts released their fingers. With a bang, the bowstrings of the strong bows produced a terrible force, pushing the blood poison arrows to burst out at the fastest speed, many times faster than the speed of sound, tearing the sky, like a hundred lightning bolts shooting from all directions.
As soon as the blood poison arrows were shot out, the Winged Demonic Beasts immediately took out a second blood poison arrow, aimed at Chen Zong, and released again.
One hundred blood poison arrows formed a wave, and ten consecutive waves were shot. Even a low-level Demonic Emperor would find it difficult to deal with.
If hit once, the blood poison attached to the arrows would quickly spread in the body. A Superior Ninth Rank Demonic Beasts' blood would coagulate in three breaths, and a low-level Demonic Emperor wouldn't be able to hold on for more than ten breaths.
Even a mid-level Demonic Emperor wouldn't be able to withstand it completely.
The Devil Flame Country's Great General and the six guards behind him all stared with wide eyes. Except for the Devil Flame Country's Great General, everyone else would be in danger under such an attack.
Would this human's body explode from the impact of the arrow?
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong's eyes suddenly changed. They were incomparably deep, like the void of the universe, containing infinite mysteries. The Cold Edge Sword was unsheathed, and without any posture, sword shadows spread out in all directions. The sword light was like a blooming lotus, magnificent and lifelike.
The sword light lotus covered a radius of five feet with him as the center.
The first wave of blood poison arrows was shot. Each arrow carried a terrible power that could easily shatter a mountain.
But the moment the sword light lotus came into contact with the one hundred blood poison arrows, the arrows were clearly exposed in the air. Starting from the arrow tip, they disintegrated little by little and quickly spread to the arrow body.
Before the first wave of blood poison arrows completely collapsed, the second wave of blood poison arrows had already arrived. Once again, they were blocked by the sword light lotus and shattered.
Wave after wave, Chen Zong, who was in the middle of the sword light lotus, looked more and more dignified.
After blocking and shattering the first wave of blood poison arrows, Chen Zong didn't feel much pressure. When the second wave came, he began to feel a little pressure. When the third wave came, the pressure increased significantly. When he blocked and shattered the fifth wave, Chen Zong looked very dignified. This kind of pressure had almost reached the limit of what he could bear.
Using the heart to control the sword did increase his strength a lot. With the Cold Edge Sword in hand, he had the strength of a low-level Demonic Emperor, but it was still not enough.
