Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 674 - 97 It’s My Time to Kill
Among the Twelve Laws, there is a division between the Righteous Path and the Heretical Path; reaching a certain level of cultivation allows one to Advance.
This is the situation, yet the specific standards and definitions are not at all strict.
After all, this is not some Ancient Blasphemous Tablets passed down from the Primordial era.
It’s a common textbook compiled by the President himself.
Wang Yunxiao originally got the first edition from Teacher Liu.
And the material Teacher Bai later obtained was the second edition.
There are many theories about Advancement, such as the traditional Refinement of Essence into Qi, Refine Qi into Spirit, and what Li Mumu summed up herself as first level, second level. There’s also Mu Yusheng’s discussion of Evolutionary Form, Advanced Form...
There is no clear standard.
As for methods of Advancement, opinions vary widely, and explanations are vague.
This is also a major reason why both Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu are stuck at the threshold of Advancement.
How to overcome this barrier? The teacher said, figure it out yourself.
Wait for the right opportunity.
When fate arrives, things will naturally fall into place... Bullshit!
Advancing in the Heretical Path is convenient, summarized in one simple phrase—make up your mind to follow one path to the end, not turning back even if you hit a wall.
The Heretical Path pays more attention to self-awareness, understanding what one is, which is much easier than figuring out how the world works.
There aren’t so many complexities; once you cultivate to a certain extent, you might not even need to deliberately cultivate, just follow the Righteous Path, and find yourself veering onto the wrong path while practicing.
Wang Yunxiao barely cultivated the Garrison Soldiers Heretical Path, but he couldn’t help encountering too many monstrous beings. Some people’s actions were too disgusting, and during the fights, he couldn’t help but use a bit more strength.
While fighting, the progress bar of the Heretical Path filled up.
To ascend or not to... spit, to ascend or not?
Wang Yunxiao has always been conflicted. Imagine, a person as upright as me, academically excellent, from a good family, with such a bright path ahead and the Righteous Path available, why should I take the Heretical Path?
But there’s no helping it, the progress bar on the Righteous Path is stuck.
Brothers are not feeling easy anymore, can’t carry on with the group.
Later, the Scholar’s Heretical Dharma Gate that he got... he actually didn’t want to learn it at all.
Now stuck here.
Now, fighting alone, if he cannot end the battle quickly, continuing could easily harm innocent bystanders, Wang Yunxiao has no other choice.
Abandon thought, confront the deep desires within.
In the past, this was called Qi Deviation.
Human self-awareness is hard to change, no matter what rubbish you talk, only you know what you truly think.
A normal person can’t force themselves to dislike money.
Only in dreams is there an exception.
In dreams, you can spend without worry.
And every first and fifteenth of the month, is the time when the Real World intersects with the Outer Dimension.
In other words, Dreamland also intersects with reality.
Thus, at this time, it is the best opportunity to reshape self-awareness and achieve promotion.
Intense flames burst forth from deep within Wang Yunxiao’s heart, a powerful desire to kill flooded his brain, instantly breaking down the defenses of his rationality.
In reality, it was Wang Yunxiao himself who willingly gave up on calm and reason.
At this time, there’s no need for calm, only a need for relentless slaughter!
Temporary compromise and forbearance will only invite the enemy to push further.
Only by responding with violence to violence, stopping the killings with killings, and completely annihilating the enemy physically, can one thoroughly resolve the issues!
Military Sect, a hundred taboos do not exist!
At this moment, the Nordic warrior’s giant axe, wrapped in thunder and lightning, struck down from above. Wang Yunxiao slightly turned his head, and the blade of the axe heavily chopped onto his shoulder, exactly at the wound previously bitten by the giant wolf.
However, only a dull sound of metal clashing was heard, and the giant axe unexpectedly bounced back.
Iron skin and copper bones!
This is the first ability acquired after advancing to the Heretical Path "Iron Sparrowhawk."
Iron skin and copper bones, impervious to swords and spear!
Originally, cultivating the Garrison Soldiers Dharma Gate already enhanced one’s physical and mental resistance. After forming an array with three people and stacking the resistances, one could achieve the effect of imperviousness to swords and spear.
And the Heretical Dharma Gate directly concentrates the resistance effect, which otherwise would be spread across a team of Garrison Soldiers, onto an individual.
On this basis, an even more incredible ability was derived—metallicizing bones and flesh, eliminating the need for wearing any armor. One’s own body becomes a suit of mobile humanoid armor!
Wang Yunxiao straightened up and stepped forward, grabbing the blade with his right hand while his left hand’s fingers came together to form a knife-hand, thrusting straight at the Nordic Warrior’s chest.
A streak of blood flashed by, and the Nordic warrior screamed repeatedly as he retreated.
The steel chainmail draped over him was easily slashed through by this hand-chop, and a three-foot-long wound was cut through the muscles on his chest, from which thick, tar-like blood spurted out.
When he covered his chest and looked up again, he saw Wang Yunxiao standing on the parapet of the half-tower, both hands spread apart, with the phantoms of a sword and a saber slowly appearing behind him.
Izumo!
Impermanence!
This is the second ability attached to the Iron Sparrowhawk Dharma Gate—"Display of a Hundred Weapons"!
During the study of the Garrison Soldiers Dharma Gate material, one is required to master various cold weapons as well as firearms and military weapons.
The "Iron Sparrowhawk" Dharma Gate integrates all the weapons into one’s body, allowing the simulation of any weapon the cultivator has seen and mastered with roughly equivalent effectiveness and power with their own body!
Of course, this also relates to the cultivator’s own martial arts cultivation.
Izumo and Impermanence are two highly lethal weapons that Wang Yunxiao is quite familiar with.
One he had used, the other had struck him.
Well, actually, the one that struck him wasn’t Izumo, but all of Ito Hidemi’s techniques were already etched in his memory.
Not anything special, just Fang Thrust.
But it’s quite effective.
The phantom images of the two weapons merged into Wang Yunxiao’s arms, attaching to his hands.
Wang Yunxiao swiftly closed the distance to the Nordic warrior, sword and saber simultaneously striking, slicing eighteen times in one breath!
Clang clang clang clang—
The Nordic warrior, not to be outdone, swung his giant axe to parry, but after just four slashes, his great axe was chopped into two pieces.
Then came the arm that wielded the axe.
The sixth slash! The seventh slash! The eighth slash!
Amid the swirling blade lights, Wang Yunxiao had transformed into a merciless meat-grinding machine. Although the two conceptualized divine artifacts couldn’t unleash their original power, merely contaminating them slightly with the Demon-Breaking property was enough to breach the opponent’s defense.
As everyone knows, a knife just needs its blade sharpened to be sufficient.
The rest is about bringing forth miracles through sheer force!
The seventeenth slash!
The Nordic warrior’s head, filled with horror and unwillingness, soared high into the air.
Without pausing, Wang Yunxiao drew back his sword in a grand, sweeping slash, aimed at a giant wolf that sneaked up from the side for a stealth attack.
This creature’s vitality was also tremendously resilient; even with its mouth torn apart, it could still rise to continue the fight.
Then it should be sliced into even smaller pieces!
With one slash, the massive body of the giant wolf was cleaved into two halves!
