Chapter 29: Practice
Yi Sanliu's death was like a warning to Jiang Zhou.
He seems to be a little bit proud of himself recently because of Taiyi Wuyanluo and the legends outside.
I had a bit of an illusion, thinking that I was overlapping with the "hidden immortal" that others were talking about.
But in fact, he has never really killed any demons with his own abilities.
How could demons be so easy to deal with?
He hasn't been a knifeman for a long time, but he has seen some monsters.
Not only are they all strange and difficult to deal with, but they are all inhumane.
If we meet, either you die or I live.
When dealing with demons, you can never be too careful.
Jiang Zhou did not give up the idea of slaying the demon alone.
But he suppressed the impatience he had felt when he saw the green vines.
During the following period of time, he obediently followed the arrangements of the office and participated in several operations with other demon patrol guards.
Only when he faced monsters and demons did he realize more deeply how terrifying these things were.
It was a great effort to survive, and there was no chance to consider taking advantage of the situation and killing the monsters with one's own hands.
He received a set of sword skills from the Sutra Library in the government office, and when he had no missions, he would practice these skills hard.
As a demon patrol guard, he has already entered the system of the Sujing Division and is eligible to obtain cultivation methods.
With his qualifications, he can only obtain the most basic methods.
A set of basic skills specially provided for the Demon Patrol Guards to practice, as well as a set of swordsmanship.
Blood Evil Technique is a method of refining the body with blood evil.
For a place like Sujingsi that is full of blood and evil, and where one has to face demons almost every day, it is a match made in heaven.
This thing can turn the blood evil that originally invaded the body into something useful for one's own benefit.
This is also the reason why the Demon Patrol Guards will not be injured by the Blood Evil like the Knife Wielders.
However, Jiang Zhou did not practice this set of skills.
Although the Blood Evil Technique can transform blood evil for one's own benefit, it can be practiced faster than ordinary techniques.
But it is almost like drinking poison to quench thirst.
Using extreme means to stimulate and overdraw potential is almost like the devil.
If he has no choice, then he won't care.
But he already had dragon grass. As long as he could hold on for a hundred days, he would be able to gain a hundred years of power. There was no need to rush to touch this thing.
So he only practiced the corresponding sword techniques.
Demon-slaying sword.
A very simple and straightforward name.
Compared to the Blood Evil Skill, this set of swordsmanship is more efficient and can increase his chances of killing monsters in a short period of time.
The sword technique itself is very simple, with only two sword moves and a set of footwork.
They are head wrapping, brain wrapping, and hidden knife in empty steps.
Although the moves are simple, they are also very brutal and domineering.
Jiang Zhou estimated that if he mastered these three moves, he would be able to kill a high-level demon independently.
"Jiang Zhou, your swordsmanship is improving very quickly."
Jin Jiu walked in from outside.
He lived next door to Jiang Zhou, and the two met often and had a harmonious relationship.
After standing by and watching for a while, I couldn't help but sigh: "You are really desperate enough."
But he was just admiring Jiang Zhou's efforts.
That kind of ruthlessness is really scary to watch.
However, Jin Jiu was not optimistic about his efforts.
First of all, practicing sword skills without practicing martial arts is simply missing the point and will end up in nothing.
Secondly, although Jiang Zhou is only in his twenties and still very young, it is too late for him to start practicing martial arts now.
Whether practicing martial arts or cultivating Taoism, both emphasize the skills of a child.
As one gets older, their bone age is set and their minds become complicated, so practicing will be ineffective and it will be difficult to achieve success.
Although this is not an absolute condition, the big sects have plenty of ways to solve these problems.
Su Jingsi can do it too.
But Jiang Zhouyi had no background, so the rumors in the company were just rumors.
In a big sect, countless people are trying their best to become one of them. When they want to train disciples, they only choose those who are young and talented. Why would they waste precious resources on you?
The same is true in the company. A demon patrol guard is not qualified to receive such resource allocation.
Second, he is not a genius with amazing talents who can break the rules.
After this period of time, Jin Jiu also discovered that Jiang Zhou's qualifications were just average.
Apart from being a little smarter and seeming to have read some books, he is not even as good as the ordinary demon patrol guards in the Sujing Division.
All in all, he didn't think Jiang Zhou could achieve anything great.
Jiang Zhou held a ghost-head knife in his hand and moved his feet in a continuous stream, with the knife following him, always on his shoulder, neck and head.
Like a red ribbon swirling around.
Half of his body and head were wrapped in this red ribbon.
He was full of vigor and momentum, but he never drew his sword.
Instead, there was a sense of horror that made people fear that he would cut off his neck and head.
Suddenly, his steps became whirling, and a red snake suddenly appeared in the yard and swirled around.
In an instant, Chi Lian seemed to turn into an evil dragon and rise up.
Amidst the sharp whistling sound, a red knife flashed, and the head of a straw man standing in the middle of the yard rolled down.
The knife flashed and disappeared in an instant. Jiang Zhou leaned on the ground with the knife, half squatted, and gasped.
"good!"
Jin Jiu cheered loudly.
His eyes widened as he walked over: "Jiang Zhou, you are a master of swordsmanship!"
He was surprised and delighted: "You have mastered a mere set of demon-slaying swords to such an extent. In terms of swordsmanship alone, I am afraid that apart from those captains, few brothers in the department can compare with you."
He was indeed surprised that Jiang Zhou could practice the Demon-Slaying Sword to such a level in such a short period of time.
This kind of concentration and ruthlessness on oneself is truly amazing.
It is enough to offset some of the disadvantages of insufficient qualifications.
This also made him feel even more regretful. If he could have started a few years earlier, this guy's achievements would probably not be worse than those captains, right?
"How can it be so exaggerated?"
Jiang Zhou's chest was heaving, and he was a little out of breath when he spoke.
The key to using a demon-slaying sword is to keep it hidden and not reveal it, and to kill when the sword is out.
Yin, dangerous, swift and fierce, these four words describe the characteristics of the swordsmanship.
The longer it hides, the more dangerous it becomes, and the more powerful it becomes, both to yourself and the enemy.
When you strike with your sword, you put all your strength into it.
If you fail to kill the enemy, you may be the one to die.
Whether hiding or cutting, the consumption is extremely high.
If Long Chu had not changed him more and more every day, he would not have been able to make this move.
Jiang Zhou shook his head and said, "I know I am stupid, so I have no choice but to practice hard on this sword. Apart from this sword, there is nothing else. If this sword cannot kill the monster, then I will be the one to die."
Jin Jiu nodded when he heard that. "That's right. I always advise you to practice Blood Evil Skill. But now it seems that learning everything is not as good as learning it thoroughly. If you were distracted by practicing Blood Evil Skill, you wouldn't be able to practice the Demon Slayer Sword to this level."
Then he shook his head again: "But your blood energy is still too weak. You are so tired after just one slash. If you practiced the Blood Killing Skill, you could at least slash twice more."
"And without the bloody evil spirit, it would be difficult for you to kill the demons without the demon-slaying sword."
Jiang Zhou knew this very well, but it was his choice.
I can only sigh: "There is always a trade-off in everything."
"I don't want to hide behind you and rely on you for protection every time I go out on business. Even if others don't say weird things, I'll be too embarrassed."
The most important thing is that you can’t get any kills!
"I don't understand what you're saying, but since you're an educated person, I think it should be good."
Jin Jiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "As for those bastards, you don't have to take them to heart, just treat them as farts!"
He was talking about the demon patrol guards who were always acting weird and at odds with Jiang Zhou.
After all, according to rumors, he relied on connections to get to the top, and he usually managed to avoid carrying out missions, so it would be strange if no one said anything.
In addition, there was the incident of the Goddess of Yanshan some time ago. Although most people did not know that the disaster was caused by his killing of Hong Ni, several captains and even commanders in the department were scolded by Li Xuance because of this incident, and Shi Feng was even transferred.
Instead, he, a small surgeon, got promoted.
Can those adults be in a good mood?
If the superior hates something, the subordinates will follow suit.
Most of the demon patrol guards are hostile to Jiang Zhou because of this.
However, Jiang Zhou did not take these things to heart. He just focused on practicing hard. Occasionally when he was on a mission, he would shamelessly hide behind others and slack off to gain experience.
It can be said that I have benefited a lot.
Now that he has gained substantial benefits, there is no need for him to bother with those people.
At this time, a demon patrol guard appeared outside the courtyard and shouted, "Jiang Zhou! Captain You is calling for you!"
