Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

The filthy water was full of twists and turns, but with Qi Xiu's huge and sharp spiritual sense, the general outline of the entire Hantang Marsh quickly came into his mind.

The green smoke also followed the twisting and hidden water flows and came to an underground palace under a swamp.

In the huge underground palace, turbid air is boiling and evil fog is everywhere.

A gigantic pig dragon with a length of over a thousand feet was lying on a piece of red sun gem, and the cold and tyrannical aura of the demon king permeated the void.

In a cave on the wall nearby, some smaller pig dragons were curled up and sleeping.

The entire underground palace was filled with deafening snoring.

Hidden in the void, Qi Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slowly falling on the largest pig-dragon monster.

Although the Zhupo Dragon has the word "dragon" in its name, it is not actually a half-dragon. It just has some dragon-like features in its appearance, hence the intimidating name.

In the secular world of Middle-earth, they are more commonly called crocodiles.

"It is mentioned in the Lingyan Chronicles that the pig dragon has turbid blood and cold nature, and needs to warm up the yang and activate the blood every few days, otherwise it will be frozen to death by the cold blood in its body.

Although this pig dragon monster has already reached the Dao Body realm and has long since recovered from its bloodline defects, it still wants to sleep on this scalding hot Red Sun Jade. It is obvious that it is hard to change its nature. "

Looking at the pig-dragon demon in front of him, Qi Xiu didn't waste any words. He just waved his sleeves, and a surge of colorful energy swept it into the Hunyuan Palace.

The pig dragon demon who was sleeping soundly in the mansion never expected that someone would sneak into her underground palace silently. She woke up in surprise, and before she could react, she was already in the vast empty world of Hunyuan.

After capturing the demon king, Qi Xiu casually pulled out its tendons and skin, dividing it into parts. He also extracted its soul for torture.

Less than half a minute.

These demon kings in the Dao Body Realm died completely in Qi Xiu's hands. Not only were their bodies cut into pieces, but their souls were also drained of all information and then turned into ashes.

"This King Youdeng is a brave and careful hero who can judge the current situation and understand the pros and cons.

We all know that after the catastrophe begins, no matter what the outcome of the battle between the Ten Thousand Mountains and the human race will be.

As a place that must be fought over by all the heavens and realms, the Tianyuan world will sooner or later become a battlefield.

By then, except for beings at the soul level, any being may become a victim of this epic war at any time.

And the King of Ghost Lantern saw through this.

He actually wanted to take advantage of the absence of his godmother, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, and the withdrawal of all the demon kings in the palace, so that the power was empty, and join forces with the remaining demon kings in the Xiling Mountains to sweep across the cave of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, and then escape to outside the area.

He is a man of character who dares to think and act. "

Qi Xiu learned about the plan of the Youdeng Demon King from the soul of the pig dragon demon King Han Tang, and immediately came up with a plan.

With a thought, a number of talismans shining with golden light appeared out of thin air on the forehead of every pig dragon monster in the underground palace. The talismans bloomed and the pressure was rampant.

Qi Xiu turned and left, leaving behind him screams of fear and despair accompanied by dazzling golden light, and the entire underground palace suddenly became quiet.

……

Xiling Peaks, Lingzhan Mountain, and Tianxiang Cave.

The fox demon Meizi was dancing and singing, while the singer from the Lingque clan was singing beside her. In the elegantly decorated demon mansion, a young man in a long gown, with a pale face and looking like a weak scholar, was leaning in the arms of a fox demon, feeling warm and fragrant, and humming an unknown tune.

"My lord, the cold soup demon king is outside the cave asking to see you."

The distorted green-faced ghost demon hurried to the front of the hall and reported softly to the young man above.

"Han Tang? Why is this guy here for no reason?"

Hearing the report from the little demon below, You Deng frowned slightly. He did not have a good impression of this demon king who had reached the Dao Body realm purely by luck.

If I hadn't been afraid that this guy would get the news and cause trouble, I wouldn't even have invited him to the banquet.

And his subsequent plan to escape from the Tianyuan world did not include this guy.

But now that my plan has not been accomplished, it is not a good idea to break off relations with this guy.

After a moment's silence, Youdeng waved his hand to dismiss the witch singer below. The pig dragon was very greedy, and when he saw these vixen seductresses, he might shamelessly ask for them.

Only after there was nothing special left in the demon's mansion did You Deng nod and signal the little demon below to let Han Tang in.

"Brother Youdeng, hahaha, here I come again."

Transformed into the appearance of the Demon King Han Tang, Qi Xiu opened his mouth and let out the Demon King's signature rude laugh, which shocked You Deng on the opposite side and made him frown frequently, with a look of displeasure in his eyes.

"Han Tang, didn't we agree before that we shouldn't contact each other before the plan starts? Why did you come to me?" You Deng spoke with a hint of blame in his voice. While speaking, he was sizing up the pig dragon monster in front of him.

"Well, it's a long story. After I heard your plan last time, I couldn't sleep all night. I was so excited.

No, I just couldn't bear it, so I came to talk to you, brother."

"Chat? What to talk about?" You Deng looked suspiciously at Qi Xiu who was pretending to be the Cold Soup Demon King, and said with narrowed eyes.

"I know that you are planning to sweep the cave of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit this time, but there is one thing you may not know." Qi Xiu raised his eyebrows and said mysteriously.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Qi Xiu's curiosity was aroused, You Deng leaned forward unconsciously and asked in confusion.

"actually……"

Seeing that the ghost lamp was already within ten feet of him, the "Cold Soup Demon King" grinned, revealing a smile of success:

"I'm not that pig dragon at all."

"what?!"

His pupils suddenly contracted and his heart trembled with alertness. Realizing that he had been tricked, You Deng was about to retreat, but he saw the Cold Soup Demon King in front of him suddenly wave his sleeves. The sleeves that covered the sky and the sun seemed to be a huge black hole that could swallow the sky and the earth, and it swallowed him up.

"presumptuous!"

He didn't expect that someone would dare to come to his cave and attack him. Shocked and angry, You Deng shouted loudly and punched out. The terrifying fist like a star spewed out vast divine fire. It hit out fiercely, like a vast ocean of fire falling down, so heavy that it was unimaginable, and it smashed the black hole in an instant.

As expected of a great demon king at the fifth level of the Dao, he is really capable.

Looking at the ghost lamp that shattered the world in his sleeve with one blow, Qi Xiu nodded slowly.

Fortunately, he first learned about the strength level of King Youdeng from the mind of the Demon King Han Tang. Otherwise, if he acted rashly, capturing him would not be a problem, but the problem would be that the noise would be too loud and would definitely attract the attention of other demon kings.

By then, the plan to sweep away the Holy Mother of Fire would be ruined.

slam-la-

The world in Qi Xiu's sleeves was shattered, and the sea-like divine fire was surging with demonic light. The furious Ghost Lamp Demon King raised his hand to capture Qi Xiu to see who exactly was daring enough to attack him.

But just as he was about to make his move, a majestic and boundless colorful aura suddenly pushed aside the jade wall and fell down, sweeping towards him with unrivaled force.

"Small World Method? Are you the Yuanshen boss?"

Recognizing at a glance that Hunyuan Palace was the unique small world method of Yuanshen boss, the pupils of the Ghost Lamp Demon King trembled, and his mind was in a mess. Why would Yuanshen boss personally take action against his opponent?

Could it be that my plan to steal the Holy Fire Spirit Palace was exposed, and the Virgin Mary wants to arrest me for trial?

That’s not right. If that were the case, why didn’t the Virgin Mary take action herself?

If he is not the Virgin Mary...then who is he?

This aura is undoubtedly the law of the small world?

Just when the Ghost Lamp Demon King was in a panic and unable to control himself, the Hunyuan Palace had already completely fallen and directly sucked him in.

Once you fall into Hunyuan Palace, there will be no worries and things will become much easier.

Although the Ghost Lamp Demon King is a great demon king at the fifth level of the Ji Dao, he is still far from being a match for Qi Xiu, the number one True Lord of the human race in the world. After he exploded to his extreme state and used all his means, he was still easily subdued by Qi Xiu.

“Tsk tsk, humanity is now more prosperous. I have the great merits of humanity to protect me, and my luck has also been blessed by it and has become extremely prosperous.

As soon as I arrived at the Shiwanda Mountains, I came across such a good thing.

My decision not to kill anyone was the right one."

After subduing the Ghost Lamp Demon King and searching his soul, Qi Xiu immediately understood the Demon King's background and his entire plan to take over the Fire Spirit Palace.

The name of this demon king is Youdeng.

Its original form is also a demon, as its name suggests, it is an oil lamp.

It was originally an oil lamp on the table of a human true master. Because it was exposed to the breath of the human true master for many years, it gradually became spiritual. Relying on the breath of the human true master to cultivate day by day, it gradually achieved a considerable level of cultivation.

But things changed when this human true master was about to set out for the outside world one day.

On the day of departure, the True Lord took away his disciples, maids, and even a small greyhound he raised, but left himself behind.

The reason is that his cultivation is still shallow and he cannot go outside the domain.

Faced with such an explanation, Youdeng naturally refused to believe it and stubbornly believed that Zhenzun felt that he was of humble origin and that was why he was unwilling to take him with him.

So after this True Lord left, it gradually became resentful, and finally became a demon. After killing countless relatives of this True Lord, it fled to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Eventually he became today's Ghost Lamp Demon King.

The reason why he risked being hunted down by the Demon Ancestor Yuanshen himself and broke into her cave temple was because the true form of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit was a strange fire creature that became a spirit and attained enlightenment.

Therefore, in her Taoist temple's treasure house, there are a large number of rare and even long-extinct divine fire fairy seedlings.

You Deng's practice has now reached a bottleneck. If he wants to make another breakthrough, he can only rely on all things to strengthen his own origin.

And in the treasury of the Fire Mother's temple there just happens to be a [Tushita Fire] that has been extinct since ancient times!

This fire comes from the lamp flower formed by the Qianling Lamp in the Taixu Palace of the Ziqing Jade Mansion in Taihuangtian, the first holy land in ancient times. There are nine lamp flowers in total that have been scattered in the human world, and eight of them have been clearly used up.

The only remaining flower is in the treasury of the Fire Mother's temple.

The true form of the Ghost Lamp Demon King is similar to the Qianling Lamp. If one can obtain this divine fire, he can strengthen his origin and expand his path.

This was the biggest reason why he was willing to risk great disapproval and plot to take over the Fire Spirit Mother's temple.

“You have the appearance of a Taoist body, yet you dare to covet the things of the primordial spirit. If you are really allowed to grow up, you will become a great threat to our human race in the future.” Qi Xiu shook his head slightly, holding a stone lamp in his hand.

This lamp has a simple and elegant style, and the top is shaped like a lotus, which looks quite extraordinary.

And this is the true form of the Phantom Lamp Demon King.

His soul was destroyed by Qi Xiu, and his physical body returned to its original form.

Looking at the stone lamp in his hand, which was after all the body of a great demon king, Qi Xiu felt that its quality was acceptable, so he simply put it away for the time being, thinking that it might be of some use in the future.

“According to the memory of this ghost lamp, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit left the Fire Spirit Palace three years ago and her whereabouts are unknown.

Three years ago, wasn’t it the time when a group of demon ancestors and evil lords sneaked into Middle-earth, stole divine objects, and attacked and killed the True Lord?

It is said that on that occasion four demon ancestors and devil lords were also killed by the true masters of the human race.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit has been breaking the rules for a long time, could it be that she was one of the four demon ancestors who fell?" Qi Xiu's eyes moved slightly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

If the Holy Mother of Fire was not among the four demon ancestors who died, then there is no reason for her not to return to the Taoist temple for three years after she returned to the Shiwan Mountains.

“If that’s the case, then this ghost lantern is at a huge loss.

If he knew that the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit had already died in the Middle Earth, he would have teamed up with a group of demon kings to attack the Fire Spirit Palace. Why would he be so timid and wait for three years before secretly discussing the action? "

Shaking his head and chuckling, Qi Xiu felt emotional.

Sometimes luck is also a major factor in spiritual practice.

People with good luck can achieve their dreams and everything goes well. Whatever they do will come naturally, as if they are helped by God.

Those who are unlucky will get half the result with twice the effort, and are always one step behind.

Just like this Ghost Lamp King.

After three years of painstaking planning, they were about to start snatching the treasure, but someone showed up halfway and reaped all the rewards.

"There is no time to lose. The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit has disappeared for three years. You Deng is definitely not the only one eyeing this piece of fat meat. If you go too late, don't let others take away the meat."

Having made up his mind, Qi Xiu immediately transformed himself into a wisp of green smoke, passed through Lingzhan Mountain, and headed straight for the Huoling Palace on the top of the Xiling peaks through Tianxiang Cave.

……

On the top of Xiling, the Holy Palace of Fire Spirit!

As the sacred place of the Fire Spirit Holy Mother, the ancestor of demons, the Fire Spirit Holy Palace is almost displayed to the extreme.

On top of the highest peak of Xiling, there is a perfectly round, fiery red mirror suspended in the air.

The precious mirror emitted a blazing light, like a burning sun.

On the mirror facing the sky, a luxurious, magnificent, and extremely majestic golden-red palace suddenly appeared.

The roof of the palace was paved with golden glazed tiles, which sparkled brightly under the sunlight, as if it were made of pure gold. The walls were carved with various mysterious patterns, which eventually condensed into a real dragon and phoenix, as if they could jump out of the walls at any time.

"Carving dragons and painting phoenixes, this Holy Mother of Fire Spirit is really crazy."

Arriving at the top of Xiling, Qi Xiu chuckled as he looked at the towering palace above the flaming red mirror.

The dragon and phoenix clans were once the most powerful existences in the Tianyuan world. Even though they have long disappeared, an inexplicable power still remains in the dark.

Except for the human race who are protected and loved by the True Dragon clan.

Any race that dares to use the dragon and phoenix patterns will be affected by unknown forces.

As the ancestor of demons, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit must be aware of the hidden meaning in this, but she still dares to use it. Obviously, she thinks that she is the ancestor of demons and will not be affected by inexplicable forces.

But now it seems that this force is so strange and powerful that even the Yuanshen boss cannot be immune.
