As long as the monks in Hexian Town complete the task of strangling the demons or hand in precious spiritual objects, they can obtain corresponding military merits in exchange for many spells and martial arts tactics.

However, the large volume of scriptures still cannot be exchanged, and one must join the demon-killing army to be eligible.

Among them, the number of spells is the largest, but Yu Lu is a martial arts practitioner and cannot practice them no matter how much he wishes for it.

There are quite a few martial arts, and Yu Lu also saw many that excited him.

During these three months, Yu Lu also completed two more demon-eliminating missions and obtained eighty combat merits. One was a fly demon that laid parasitic poisonous eggs in the water source of Hexian Town, and the other was a shameless donkey demon that harmed a young lady. Both were minor characters in the Ninth Realm.

Unfortunately, no treasures were found from the corpse, but the donkey whip that could nourish yin and yang was sold to a fellow monk, who got two essences of flesh and blood in return.

The Blood Demon Scholar who was killed earlier actually contributed 100 military merits to Yu Lu. After all, he was an eighth-level sorcerer with strong strength.

Next, he exchanged the remaining Earth Elephant Blood, Chisel Tooth Spirit Fruit and other items after entering the practice of [Celestial Phenomenon: The World's Supporting Chapter] for 700 military merits, for a total of 880 military merits.

Soon he squandered all his military exploits in exchange for a sword technique, a long-range martial art, and the resources needed to practice these two martial arts, which he had successfully practiced a few days ago. Fortunately, martial arts were not related to the progress of practice like the natal sutra, so his talent did not divide martial arts into entry, minor success, and perfection levels. Once learned, it was learned thoroughly, and only needed to be integrated with his own combat system.

【Killing Knife】

[Conditions for Success]: Swing the sword ten thousand times; quench the sword with one hundred kilograms of water; ten blood ganoderma; recite a poem about killing; one killing stone;

[Martial Arts Effect]: Killing Intention; Sword Master; Soul-Slaying Intention;

Murderous Intention: When you have the murderous intention, the resilience of your will will be enhanced by 30%. When your mind is controlled, polluted, charmed, plotted against, or cursed by enemies of the same level, you can be immune to 30% of the negative effects.

Sword Master: After countless bloody battles, your sword skills have reached a high level. When you use a knife, its power increases by 20% and the probability of attacking weak points increases.

Soul-killing Intent: The killing intent in your heart is so strong that it almost solidifies into substance. When facing an opponent who is weaker than you, the opponent will feel endless fear. Even if the opponent is stronger than you, you will still feel a strong sense of oppression.

Every time you kill an enemy, the killing intent in your heart increases dramatically, and a layer of Soul-Slaying Killing Intent will be formed. Each layer of Soul-Slaying Killing Intent will increase your willpower, strength, and speed by one point, up to a maximum of twenty layers (ten is one tenth).

Current Soul-Slaying Intent Layer: 0

Although Yu Lu's practice includes two extremely powerful boxing techniques, boxing is more suitable for one-on-one combat. When it comes to killing efficiency and speed, the knife is the best choice!

Such a suitable martial art can greatly enhance Yu Lu's lethality, allowing him to quickly clear the field when facing minions. If he faces a real master, without a magical weapon that can cut through iron like mud, under Yu Lu's abnormal brute force, even a tempered steel knife will break after a few hits, and it will be difficult to cause damage to the enemy.

Moreover, this sword technique also provides Yu Lu with the effect he needs most to resist mind control --- will toughness. If the Soul-Slaying Intent is stacked up to 20 layers, Yu Lu can be exempted from 50% of the mind control effect, which is very powerful.

It can be said that with the full blessing of [Revenge] + [Master of Swordsmanship] + [Soul-Slaying Intention], Yu Lu's slash will be three times more powerful than before! This is without the blessing of the Six Fangs Dharma!

However, according to what Yu Lu knew, according to rumors, this killing knife did not seem to be very powerful, and no one was interested in it for a long time within the demon-killing army.

But in his own hands, he felt that it was in no way inferior to those peerless martial arts that were famous in the Celestial Empire.

Yu Lu guessed that this might be related to the conditions of the killing poem, a point that most people would overlook, but it was actually the key to determining the power of the killing knife. It determined the true meaning of killing in this sword technique. The demon-killing army was mostly composed of warriors, and most of the books they read were secret books on military tactics. Basically no one could understand this point.

Of course, maybe someone discovered it, but they chose to keep it secret.

Yu Lu didn't think too much at the time, and a lot of murderous masterpieces suddenly emerged in his mind:

"Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles!", "Slaughter all the millions of soldiers south of the Yangtze River, the sword on the waist is still bloody!", "Killing one person is a crime, killing ten thousand people is a hero, and killing nine million people makes you the hero among heroes!", Yu Lu used them all at once without thinking.

Perhaps this led to the birth of this unique martial art.

Fortunately, this is practicing martial arts, unlike practicing the Life Sutra, which carries the risk of alienation and degeneration at any time. If the Killing Knife is the Life Sutra, with its horrific meaning of killing, I am afraid I will have to experience a fantasy world of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Yu Lu then turned his attention to another martial art. Although this martial art had not been sublimated like the Killing Sword and could not be called a unique martial art, its quality could only be considered ordinary, but it also made him very satisfied.

【The Art of Shooting Halberds】

[Conditions for Success]: Hit the target with a thrown weapon 10,000 times; one Ice Jade Silkworm; 10 portions of Black Jade Intermittent Ointment; 5 Wind Cave Stones;

[Martial Arts Effect] Thousand Machine Hands; True Qi Explosion; Hundred Steps to Shoot the Target Through the Arrow;

Thousand Hands: After being nourished by secret medicine, your hands have transformed into extraordinary limbs, Thousand Hands. You can master any weapon proficiently. Every blade of grass, every tree, every short sword and every halberd can be used as an arrow.

Chi Explosion: Before throwing a weapon, you can infuse it with Chi to increase the hardness and speed of the object, or hide the Chi in the weapon to delay the explosion and cause huge damage. You can also use the Chi to fine-tune the direction and speed of the thrown object.

Hit the target with accuracy within 100 steps: Within 100 steps, your throwing accuracy will never fail.

This martial art can be said to have directly expanded Yu Lu's attack range by several times. As long as he is within a hundred steps, he is a mobile precision turret and a crossbow machine with unlimited crossbow arrows.

In the list compiled by the Demon-Slaying Army, most martial arts require corresponding true qi to exert their full power, otherwise the power will be much weaker and a more serious price will be paid.

Among the very few martial arts that did not require specific true energy to activate, Yu Lu only chose the killing sword and the halberd shooting techniques.

Yu Lu originally wanted to sell some more spiritual objects in exchange for a set of footwork or body skills to improve his ability to run long distances and move around.

Unfortunately, it requires corresponding true qi to be effective, that is, it requires the practice of the corresponding sutra, and the demon-killing army is unwilling to open the big volume and the fundamental sutra to the outside world.

Either the effect of the martial arts was too ordinary, not as fast as Yu Lu's speed relying on his physical strength, so he had to give up.

This is the change that Yu Lu has undergone in the three months since the arrival of the Demon-killing Army, in addition to the breakthrough in his practice of the sutra. His shortcomings in martial arts have been greatly compensated, and his strength can be said to be incomparable.

【10000/10000】

After practicing the Celestial World-supporting Fist three times, Yu Lu looked at the small characters in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief. All the requirements for entering the Celestial World-supporting Fist were finally met.

Thanks to Abyss for the reward!
