Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

"Hades?"

Looking at the majestic figure who dominated the heaven and earth and controlled the cycle of reincarnation, Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hades!

One of the most powerful gods in ancient times.

It is rumored that he has the ability to control the life and death of all living things in the world. All reincarnations in the world are controlled by him. He is one of the most powerful gods in the world.

At the same time, he was also one of the gods who mysteriously disappeared after the ancient times.

“I didn’t expect that this small Hades Sect’s “Duo Luo Hades Chang Shi Zhen Jun” could actually summon a trace of Hades left between heaven and earth.

No wonder even a giant of the medieval magic world like Hell Dao wanted to include this scroll in the “Hell Sutra”.

This method is really brilliant.”

The Hell Realm was destroyed by the Shenxiao Sect.

Many secret books are also collected in the Sutra Library of the Shenxiao Sect, including their plan to annex the Xiaoming Sect and seize the "Duo Luo Ming Wang Changshi Zhenjing".

“However, Hades is one of the ancient gods, and his status is extremely high.

How dare you, a powerful Taoist, guide him and leave his mark between heaven and earth?

Don't be afraid of the backlash of divine power, which will kill you."

There was no need for Qi Xiu to point it out. Wu Pingchuan's expression and aura at this moment were enough to explain the pressure he had to bear when performing the [Pluto's Descent Picture].

Blood was oozing from all seven orifices and his face was as pale as paper.

Wu Pingchuan's legs were shaking and his breath was weak. The Yinming Changshi Lingguang behind him knelt down facing the Hades and held high the bright red brush and the black book in his hands.

"It's only 800 years of shortened life span, but I can still hold on."

With an extremely ugly smile on his lips, Wu Pingchuan spoke while spitting out black blood.

Pluto is the ancient god who controls life and death.

The moment the devil arrives, eight hundred years of his life will be taken away.

The Taoist body has great power and lives for three thousand years.

That is to say, every time Wu Pingchuan uses the [Descent of Hades Picture], his life span will be shortened by nearly one third.

After this use, his life span will be less than four hundred years.

For a great Taoist, it is almost old age.

Hearing this price, Qi Xiu chuckled and said to Wu Pingchuan:

"You are loyal."

“Without the prince’s appreciation and support, Wu would not even have made it past the age of forty, let alone achieving this great position.

I have earned so much money if I am still alive today.

Even if I die here today, I will have no regrets. "

Facing life and death, Wu Pingchuan looked carefree, as if he knew that he only had forty years to live.

It was because of meeting Zhao Baiye that he had his current status and longevity.

So in order to complete the task assigned by Zhao Baiye.

Even though he knew that he didn't have much time left to live, he still chose to use the [Pluto's Descent Map] which had extremely high backlash.

"You are a person who knows how to repay kindness."

Nodding slightly, Qi Xiu raised his eyes to look at the Hades who had walked closer from the depths of the scroll.

As they got closer, the aura emanating from this ancient god almost caused the entire Hunyuan Palace to fall into a dark and dead zone. A dim aura visible to the naked eye flowed and spread in the void, like the water of the Yellow Spring River that led the dead to their destination in the legend.

The entire body of this ancient god was shrouded in a hazy mist, and only the outline of its tall and upright figure could be vaguely seen. If one stared at it again, one's eyes would feel extremely painful, as if they were being gouged out alive.

Coming closer, the ancient god Hades raised his hand and took the bright red brush and the black book from the hands of the underworld spiritual officer.

With a wave of his hand, the book opened by itself, the pages rustled, and turned to the blank side.

Without hesitation, Hades picked up the pen and wrote. As the pen moved quickly, a bright red name appeared on the pale paper - Qi Xiu!

The golden wheel of merit appeared behind his head automatically, and Qi Xiu's eyes moved slightly.

Although he was facing Pluto at the moment, he could not see the pages of the book.

But he could vaguely sense that his name was now deeply engraved in that book.

The thick shadow of death was like a tide surging in from all directions, making him feel a chill that penetrated his bones.

Raising the bright red hair, Hades' face, which was covered by thick fog, looked at Qi Xiu woodenly.

Then, a heavy stroke!

Become!

Seeing Pluto put pen to paper, Wu Pingchuan showed a triumphant smile on his face.

This [Picture of Pluto's Descent] and [Pluto Takes Life] are his biggest trump cards.

As long as Hades writes the name of the person who has been cursed in the [Book of Life and Death], he will then cross out his name with the [Pen of Judgment].

Unless the person who is hit by the spell is a true soul.

Otherwise, no one in the Yuanshen realm can escape the inevitable death.

Pluto is the god who controls life and death.

The name he crossed out meant that even the heaven and earth considered him dead.

It was because of this tactic of hurting one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of his own that Wu Pingchuan was sent by Zhao Baiye to garrison in the Blood Lotus World.

Because as long as he lives long enough to perform the [Descent of Hades] once, he will have the strength comparable to that of a spiritual god.

When necessary, you can forcibly exchange any powerful Taoist body.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my Lord's orders."

Raising his hand to wipe the blood off his face, Wu Pingchuan looked straight ahead, waiting for the demise of the True Lord Hunyuan Wanfa in front of him.

However, just as Pluto put pen to paper.

The two bright red, twisting words "Qi Xiu" on the Book of Life and Death suddenly looked a little different. Strands of powerful and majestic golden light wandered over them, making the words begin to become blurred.

It seemed as if he had completely disappeared from the Book of Life and Death.

town!

A huge [Talisman] with wisps of golden light was suspended above Qi Xiu's head, protecting him firmly below. Countless [Talismans] continuously emerged from the void, and there were so many that they filled the entire Hunyuan Palace in the blink of an eye.

Behind Qi Xiu, a series of similar figures walked out slowly. They were his incarnations.

Different from the general method of splitting and transforming into another body.

Although Tongmiao Zhenzun's [incarnation] has only one percent of the power of his original body, it can use all the methods of the original body.

These include various magical skills including calligraphy.

At this moment, he and the twenty external incarnations behind him cast the [Talisman] together, using the power of suppression to forcibly protect their own destinies.

Therefore, the name on the Book of Life and Death began to blur and fade.

Because of the power of [Talisman].

The [Pluto's Life-stealing] that Wu Pingchuan was proud of and regarded as his biggest trump card was being cracked!

"This is impossible!"

Looking at the name that was becoming increasingly blurred in the Book of Life and Death, Wu Pingchuan's eyes were shaken and filled with horror.

Although he only used [Pluto's Life] once.

But Zhao Baiye, the master of Yuanshen Zhenzun, once said that unless one is Yuanshen Zhenzun, no one can avoid or resist his fatal method.

Because this method is close to the ultimate truth of nature!

It is impossible to be changed and cracked.

But now... this thing that should never happen is happening right before his eyes!

The names in the Book of Life and Death became blurred, and Hades's writing action suddenly paused.

"My secret technique will never fail!"

With two lines of blood and tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, Wu Pingchuan roared, suddenly flipped his hand and took out a few Taoist fetuses. Like a wild beast, he stuffed them into his mouth and swallowed them forcefully.

Seeing Wu Pingchuan acting so crazy, Qi Xiu knew in his heart that this man was finished.

After swallowing several Dao fetuses, Wu Pingchuan's aura suddenly surged a hundred times. He looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, and the killing sound pierced through the void. The Yinming Changshi Lingguan behind him exploded into a ball of blood mist, turned into wisps of red lines, and sank into the blood hair in the hands of the Hades.

The writing is full of pearls!

A drop of bright red blood flowed down the tip of the pen onto the Book of Life and Death, and the originally blurred name suddenly became clear again.

Sacrificing to the Taoist God was equivalent to severing one's own path to Taoism. Wu Pingchuan spat out a mouthful of blood and suddenly fell to the ground, twitching and convulsing, but still trying his best to raise his head and stare at Qi Xiu.

It seemed that he couldn't even breathe his last without seeing Qi Xiu die.

With the help of Wu Pingchuan's powerful medicine, the cold and deadly intent that had been isolated by the talisman once again entangled Qi Xiu.

The name that reappeared in the Book of Life and Death made Hades, who had paused with his pen, prepare to write again.

"I won't give up until I see the Yellow River, and I won't cry until I see the coffin. Do you really have to watch with your own eyes how Qi breaks your Hades' life-stealing method?"

Looking down at Wu Pingchuan lying on the ground, Qi Xiu flipped his palm and suddenly a simple and ancient lamp, as bright as if it was made of brass, appeared in his hand.

The magic weapon of merit - the bright lamp of all things in the universe!

"That is……"

Noticing the magical lamp that Qi Xiu took out and feeling the ancient, solemn, and majestic aura on it, Wu Pingchuan's turbid and yellow eyes suddenly narrowed.

"You use the laws of heaven to harm me, so I will protect myself with the laws of humanity."

They raised the Hunyuan Wanfa Lantern in their hands and recited the Hunyuan Immortal Scripture together.

This one-foot-tall, ancient and crude lamp was suspended above the head, with wisps of yellow mist hanging down, protecting it firmly.

Yellow fog suddenly appeared, and Qi Xiu's name on the Book of Life and Death was immediately completely covered.

The stroke of Hades' life-stealing and soul-stealing pen fell on the yellow mist. The bright red on the tip of the pen faded away in an instant. When it fell on the Book of Life and Death, it just gently passed over Qi Xiu's name.

The deal was done, and Pluto's method of taking lives was over, whether it succeeded or not.

The blood-red ink-spreading picture of Hades' descent to the world kept shrinking, and the figure of the ancient god Hades from the ancient times also began to become faint and illusory, and he took a step forward and walked towards the depths of the scroll.

Summoning the Hunyuan Wanfa Lantern, Qi Xiu held it in one hand and came to the dying Wu Pingchuan.

First, he shortened his lifespan by eight hundred years by using the [Descent of Hades Map], and then he forcefully swallowed several Taoist fetuses and sacrificed them to the Taoist God in order to activate Hades to take lives. Wu Pingchuan's remaining lifespan had been completely exhausted.

At this moment, even if Qi Xiu didn't take action, he wouldn't survive for more than a moment.

Calmly looking at Wu Pingchuan, who was lying on the ground with a pale and dead look on his face, Qi Xiu leaned over and spoke softly:

"Is it worth it?"

Turning his dark and gloomy eyes, he used all his strength to look at Qi Xiu in front of him, and then Wu Pingchuan exhaled his last breath;

"value……"

The voice faded away, and a genius Taoist master who was able to forcibly exchange for any Taoist master and achieved the Taoist realm at the age of 900 died and disappeared.

"Foolish loyalty."

Looking at the dead Wu Pingchuan quietly, Qi Xiu slowly shook his head:

"But he's a man nonetheless."

Before his death, Wu Pingchuan sacrificed his own Taoist god, and there was almost no trace of cultivation left in his body. Therefore, he was no longer in danger of becoming a Taoist god. Only this empty shell of a flesh body remained.

With a flick of his sleeve, a spark fell on its remains, and under the raging fire, it turned into ashes.

After getting rid of Wu Pingchuan, Qi Xiu took control of the entire situation in the Blood Lotus World.

Nowadays, the forces he and Zhao Baiye stationed in this world can be described as one dark and one light.

He is in the dark and those people are in the light.

However, since it has been confirmed that Zhao Baiye had indeed arranged people to enter this world a long time ago, it can almost be concluded.

The Tianyuan Baoling he is looking for is most likely in the hands of these people.

In other words, no matter what, he will have to face these people head-on in the end, otherwise it will be difficult to complete the task of bringing back eighteen Tianyuan Baolings.

“Judging from the realm of Wu Pingchuan’s abilities, the few Daoist masters that Zhao Baiye placed here must have been carefully selected by him.

These people are probably similar to Wu Pingchuan, although they are not the old-time top masters who have reached the eighth or ninth level of the Dao.

But he possesses some extremely strange and powerful trump cards.

Under certain conditions, anyone below the Soul Formation Realm can be killed.

And this world also has the existence of [Taotai], a product that relies on the powerful power of the Tao.

I'm afraid their methods will be even more powerful.

Just like Wu Pingchuan, if he hadn't met me.

It would be difficult for any other Taoist master to survive under his method of [Pluto's Life-Taking]...

Zhao Baiye arranged these people here, and he really made all the necessary preparations."

Stroking the golden jade beads, Qi Xiu's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

When he used the method that Wu Pingchuan had previously deduced using the Yin and Ming Dynasty's method of tracking down fate to reverse the deduction using the merits and supernatural powers of humanity, he saw that in addition to Wu Pingchuan, there were four other people standing in the palace.

A noble lady holding a black cat, a strange man wearing an oil-painted mask and carrying a dagger, and an old man with sparse hair and a wretched appearance.

And... a middle-aged man wearing royal robes.

These four people plus Wu Pingchuan are the entire force chosen by Zhao Baiye to guard the Blood Lotus World.

"No, in addition to these five people, there is also that demon lotus..."

Looking through the Hunyuan Palace and gazing into the distance, Qi Xiu's pupils faintly reflected the huge snow lotus that covered the sky and the sun.

Whether it was from those who were clear-minded or from the mouth of Qin Wu who was instigated to rebel, they all knew that this demon lotus had suddenly descended upon the Blood Lotus World.

The palace where Wu Pingchuan and other five people gathered was below the demon lotus.

Even a ghost wouldn't believe that there is no relationship between these two people.

"If the other four are as skilled as Wu Pingchuan, they will be difficult to deal with."

Qi Xiu pursed his lips and his eyes moved slightly.

A demon lotus plus four Taoist masters with power comparable to that of the primordial spirit, this is the power that is displayed on the surface.

But there is no guarantee that this is all the power Zhao Baiye has placed.

"The fire is still not big enough. We need to add more wood to force out the snakes, insects, rats and ants underground."

Having made up his mind, Qi Xiu immediately used a secret method to communicate with the identities of Taiyin and Taiyang who were outside.

This scene needs to be made even bigger!
