Niufu.

The great elder captured the man-bear with a spirit animal bag.

Ding Sanyuan held the demon-slaying sword and attacked the great elder and the others.

The Great Elder waved his robe sleeves, and a spiritual shield instantly appeared three feet away, blocking Ding Sanyuan's attack.

“Buzz~~”

Ding Sanyuan struck the spiritual shield with one sword.

The spiritual shield trembled for a while, but showed no damage at all.

Ding Sanyuan was greatly surprised. The power of his demon-slaying sword was unmatched by ordinary weapons, but it was unable to break through the protection of the spiritual shield.

When Ding Sanyuan was surprised, the Great Elder suddenly activated his spiritual power. The spiritual shield flashed, and Ding Sanyuan was knocked away together with the demon-slaying sword.

"Plop!"

"Clang!"

Ding Sanyuan and the demon-slaying sword fell to the ground about a foot away, and they were smashed into pieces.

Fortunately, Ding Sanyuan had already gone through many battles and had combat experience, so the moment he flew backwards, he immediately used the self-protection technique to protect his body very well.

Therefore, Ding Sanyuan got up immediately as soon as he landed on the ground, without giving the three elders a chance to make a sneak attack.

"Hey, this little guy is quite capable. He got up so quickly!"

Ding Sanyuan's behavior made the third elder couldn't help but shout in surprise.

The third elder originally thought of taking advantage of Ding Sanyuan's fall to the ground to launch a sneak attack. Unexpectedly, Ding Sanyuan did not give him a chance.

"This kid has some strength! Third brother, fourth brother, don't underestimate him."

The Great Elder also noticed that Ding Sanyuan was unusual, so he warned him.

"Yes, brother!"

The third elder and the fourth elder responded.

Immediately, the three of them activated their spiritual power shields and surrounded Ding Sanyuan in a "pin" shape.

After Ding Sanyuan got up from the ground, he did not immediately attack the three elders.

Because he is now a little less confident in the demon-slaying sword in his hand.

Before, his demon-slaying sword was invincible, and he had never encountered anyone who could withstand the attack of the demon-slaying sword.

But today, the great elder's spiritual shield actually caught his sword without any damage. Not only that, it also knocked him away.

This shocked him beyond measure.

"If you can't even break through the opponent's spiritual shield, how can you fight with the opponent?"

Ding Sanyuan thought secretly in his heart.

At this moment, a mechanical sound suddenly came to his mind.

"Ding, the system has detected that the host is in trouble. Does the host need help?"

Ding Sanyuan was shocked, the system woke up?

I haven’t heard the sound of the system for a long time, I thought it was sleeping again!

"System, you finally showed up!"

Ding Sanyuan had mixed feelings.

"Ding, the system has been dormant for a period of time and has been upgraded to version 2.0. The host can get more help from the system."

"Really? Great! I need help right now!"

"Ding, the system detects that the demon-slaying sword owned by the host is only at the elementary level. Would you like to upgrade it to the intermediate level?"

"What? Can the Demon-Slaying Sword be upgraded?"

"Ding, yes."

"Okay, then upgrade to the intermediate level, quickly!" Ding Sanyuan said quickly, then thought of something else and asked, "What are the requirements for upgrading?"

"Ding, upgrading the primary demon-slaying sword to the intermediate demon-slaying sword requires two hundred auxiliary points. Will the host accept it?"

"What? Two hundred auxiliary values?"

Ding Sanyuan feels a little pained. He worked hard and went through all kinds of difficulties to complete the second task, and the system only rewarded him with 100 points. But now, just upgrading a sword costs 200 points. This...

Alas, I can’t make money as fast as I spend it!

"Ding, the host doesn't have to worry about it. The current assistance value of the host is enough to upgrade the demon-slaying sword!"

"I know enough, but I saved it bit by bit, and I feel bad spending it! Two hundred points at a time, well, spending money is like running water."

"Ding, host, please rest assured, version 2.0 of the system will provide hosts with more generous rewards. For example, for the upcoming third task, the reward amount is as high as 500 auxiliary points!"

"Five hundred points?"

This number suddenly ignited Ding Sanyuan's fighting spirit.

Five hundred points. Ding Sanyuan has been doing tasks for so long, and the total auxiliary points he has earned are not as much as five hundred points!

But after thinking about it, he suddenly understood: "With a reward of five hundred points of auxiliary value, what kind of difficulty should the mission be? Isn't it dangerous at every step and on the verge of death at every turn?"

"Ding, host, please focus on solving the immediate crisis first!"

The system immediately reminded Ding Sanyuan.

He quickly brought his thoughts back to reality.

Looking around, I saw three elders surrounding him.

"Ding, the situation is critical, could the host upgrade the demon-slaying sword?"

"Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade quickly!"

Ding Sanyuan said hurriedly.

As he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the demon-slaying sword in his hand shaking slightly.

A stream of light flashed on the edge of the demon-slaying sword.

The edge of the demon-slaying sword seemed to become sharper and tougher in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a system voice came from my mind:

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the elementary demon-slaying sword has been officially upgraded to the intermediate demon-slaying sword. This upgrade costs two hundred auxiliary points. Currently, the remaining auxiliary value is 14 points."

After listening to the system's report, Ding Sanyuan felt a mixture of sadness and joy.

Fortunately, with the upgrade of the demon-slaying sword, he can become invincible again.

Sadly, the auxiliary value is only 14 points, which means that after half a year of hard work, we are back to before liberation.

"You bastard, when my elder brother talks to you, you become deaf!"

Suddenly, a rough voice reached Ding Sanyuan's ears, bringing him back to reality. He had to end the conversation with the system and concentrate on solving the predicament at hand.

Within one foot in front of him, he saw three elders standing in the shape of a cross, each of them setting up a spiritual shield in front of him.

Three spiritual shields of different colors squeezed Ding Sanyuan in the middle.

Behind the spiritual shield were three cunning, foundation-building monks.

At this moment, the fourth elder was glaring at him directly in front of him.

"Boy, our boss is talking to you, you are deaf!"

The fourth elder yelled at Ding Sanyuan unceremoniously.

When Ding Sanyuan heard this, he quickly looked towards the great elder.

The Great Elder stood on the left side of Ding Sanyuan. At this moment, he was activating the spiritual shield and said: "You brat, you still have time to beg for mercy..."

"Pooh!"

Ding Sanyuan spat directly.

The great elder subconsciously jumped back to avoid the attack of saliva.

"You bastard who doesn't know how to live or die, let's see if I don't knock you away!"

When the third elder saw that the elder was being bullied, he immediately roared and rushed over. The spiritual shield in front of him flashed with strange light under the stimulation of powerful spiritual power, and he quickly rushed towards Ding Sanyuan.

In the past, the third elder's move would have been very intimidating. Ding Sanyuan would not have dared to resist it, but it is different now. The demon-slaying sword in Ding Sanyuan's hand has been upgraded. What else is he afraid of?

…

Ding Sanyuan had a strange smile on his face, staring closely at the third elder who was rushing towards him.

The third elder did not use weapons to attack. On the contrary, what he used to attack Ding Sanyuan was his spiritual shield.

Generally speaking, spiritual shields only have a protective function and cannot be used to launch attacks - at least Ding Sanyuan has never seen one.

But now, the third elder wants to use the spiritual shield as an offensive weapon, which is really eye-opening.
