30. Ultimate load-bearing capacity
When Pan Xiong led his troops over, he was puzzled to find that there was no one alive in the mountain stronghold. Why was the vanguard, who was usually too lazy to deal with the soldiers, so proactive today? ... If you've killed everyone, what are we supposed to kill?
Then he saw why Teng Xielang did this.
Teng Xie stood in the pool of blood, activating a secret technique. Gray aura rose from each of the corpses, continuously entering his seven orifices.
No!
It hurts!
Kill! I'll kill you!
I hate you! I curse you!
Let me go! Please let me go!
Every wisp of ashes represents a killing, and every killing carries the most intense resentment of the deceased in their final moments.
As Tengxie absorbed the gray energy, he not only felt his body becoming increasingly heavy and his true energy circulation becoming increasingly sluggish, but also heard resentful and venomous roars constantly appearing in his mind.
This is the method of collecting killing karma that Xi Mie Tian taught him: to collect the most filthy and resentful killing intent and thoughts, and use them to burden himself, thereby stimulating his potential.
This is similar to weight training, but with both physical and mental pressure.
The killing karma absorbed by Tengxie contained extremely strong resentment. He had not learned the complete secret method, nor did he have any magical artifacts to help absorb and filter the resentment. If it were a different person, or a demon, such as Guizhi, they would not be able to bear it at all.
Tengxie, however, only felt flies buzzing in his ears.
His body did feel heavier, but it was still far from his limit.
Not enough, far from enough. He needs more to feel the pressure clearly.
"Leave one hundred soldiers to clean up the area; take everything useful. The rest, follow me."
Tengxie brought his troops out this time with no intention of using them for fighting; he intended to handle all the fighting himself.
after.
Every time Teng Xie chose a mountain stronghold, sect, or gang, he would leave behind dozens or even a hundred people. By the time he had killed his thirteenth stronghold, the public pavilion had already posted a notice announcing that the demon realm was massacring the martial arts world and poisoning the martial arts community.
But what's the use of that?
Tan Wuyu and Fojian Fenshuo were trapped in Pingshan. The white-haired swordsman secretly arranged for Yuren Feijing to leave. The Lord of Canlin was forced by Yanmo Hanba and could not leave Canlin. Guiliang Tianxia was still holding a funeral for Guiliang Feiyu and remained inside the house.
As for the heroes and important figures in the later dramas in Teng Xie's memory... they were all in seclusion to cultivate before their time was up. Not to mention people, they even hid their places of cultivation with magic, secret techniques, and formations, so you couldn't even find the door.
The martial arts community wanted to find someone to take charge, but they found that there wasn't a single person who was truly capable.
Soon, Tengxie arrived at the thirty-seventh location, which was quite interesting. This place was originally Black Wind Stronghold, but now the leader of Black Wind Stronghold has gathered twelve forces, calling it the Thirteen Cloud Stronghold, with more than 10,000 soldiers and a dozen second-rate experts.
then.
"Huff, huff..."
In the mountain stronghold, amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Teng Xie was panting heavily, drenched in sweat, and even his hands were trembling slightly, staring at the last person besides himself who was still breathing.
"Demon, devil, you, you demon..."
The man was so terrified that he died before he could even finish a sentence.
"Gentlemen, let me reiterate: it's not me who has harmed you, it's this chaotic world that has harmed you."
After panting for a moment, Tengxie's hands and feet began to tremble, and he suffered from a splitting headache and ringing in his ears, making him look even worse.
His situation had indeed worsened. He had killed too many people this time, and the karma of killing more than 10,000 lives had been accumulating on him, making the burden he carried almost twice as heavy.
He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and the demonic energy was as sluggish as tar in his meridians. His mind was like the eighteenth level of hell, with countless vengeful spirits howling and wailing.
I've reached my limit... But a man has to be ruthless to himself. Otherwise, how can he catch up with the Mad Dragon, the Ghost Beam, and the Demon Lord?
Despite Teng Xie's dire condition, he remained calm and unwavering in his will. His body and spirit endured immense pressure, yet his sixth sense rapidly improved during this ordeal.
He could keenly sense that he had hit rock bottom, but the immense pressure had not broken through his bottom line. He was slowly getting better and stronger. He could feel his body being tempered and becoming more resilient, his sluggish internal energy gradually accelerating, and his mental strength rapidly increasing.
However, he was also acutely aware of every bit of pain that the pressure brought him, which was the reason for his rapid growth in mental strength. The strongest stimulation unleashed the most potential.
moment.
Panxiong waited a moment before approaching. Tengxie's killings were unlike any other; the killing karma rose like a mist, and he could hear the howls of countless vengeful spirits. Even this veteran general, who had been through many battles, felt a little uneasy.
"Let's go back to the Demon Realm."
Tengxie recovered some of his strength.
"Yes."
Pan Xiong was actually quite unhappy. He hadn't managed to get a single kill along the way, which made him feel very frustrated.
But he dared not have the slightest objection to Teng Xie, so he obediently followed orders, gathered the demon soldiers, and followed Teng Xie back to the demon realm.
The devil's palace.
Before Tengxie could catch his breath, a ball of light shaped like a large eyeball floated over and released a light screen, revealing Guizhi's old face.
"Teng Xielang, the Demon Lord has been ambushed and surrounded by Tan Wuyu, Fojian Fenshuo, and a group of bald monks from Wanshengyan! Go and rescue him immediately!"
The ghost roared anxiously, causing the Evil Eye Clan messenger to release another light screen.
Teng Xie looked and saw that Yama Hanba was being restricted by a Buddhist secret array set up by several monks, and was also fiercely fighting with Tan Wuyu and another monk with a compassionate face but a murderous aura.
"Hmm, Tan Wuyu anticipated the enemy's moves, and Wanshengyan also came prepared."
Teng Xie realized that Yama Hanba's body and physical strength were restricted by at least 30%, which is why Tan Wuyu and Fo Jian Fenshuo were able to suppress it.
"Teng Xielang, this is not the time for leisurely commentary, you must go and provide support immediately!"
"Prophet, do not be angry, for that will diminish your wisdom; or rather, maintaining anger will help you diminish your wisdom?"
"you!"
"Don't be angry, don't be anxious, and don't let concern cloud your judgment. A few bald monks, not even high-ranking members of Wansheng Rock, can't possibly crush the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord isn't even injured yet, and even if he were, so what? Did the Emei Sect defeat the Demon Lord?"
"this……"
"Relax. The Demon Lord isn't playing around, but he's simply experiencing the joy of battle. Just watch quietly; before long, the formation's power will reach its limit, and that will be the Demon Lord's moment of unleashing his full potential."
"Okay, then."
In short...
Before Tengxie could finish speaking, a messenger rushed over and urgently reported, "Report! Vanguard! Someone has launched an attack on Hanhai! Vanguard Shesheng has already gone to investigate!"
"You keep an eye on things. If someone tries to take advantage of the situation, I'll go check it out."
As Tengxie spoke, he waved his hand, turning off the light screen that was communicating with Guizhi, but letting the big eyeball continue to broadcast the Demon Lord's battle scene, and followed him to the Demon Pool.
