The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 127: No Grass Left Behind (Update 1011, 7K -in-)

While roasting the fangs with his palms, Li Hao asked Li Hongzhuang:
"Do you know the location of the nests of the several big monsters that attacked tonight?"

"Ok?"

Li Hongzhuang was slightly stunned and asked, "Why, do you still want to destroy their nest?"

"Any questions?"

Li Hao was puzzled.

"..."

Li Hongzhuang was speechless. Of course there was no problem. As long as it could be taken down, she wanted to crush it herself, not to mention Li Hao.

In the past, when she was guarding here, she could not leave, otherwise the demons would invade. Without her protection, these soldiers, with the help of several deputy generals, would not be able to withstand the attacks of the three immortal demons.

After all, the original Cangya City had been breached, and it didn't even have magic walls or defenses. The power of the three immortal demons alone was enough to cause the army to suffer.

"You just arrived, and I haven't had the chance to tell you about the demonic forces outside the Tianmen Pass."

Li Hongzhuang took a sword and started drawing on the sand in front of the campfire.

She had not intended to talk about this with Li Hao before, after all, he was just a child.

From the information she got from Li He, she already knew that her seventh brother was planning to abandon Tianmen Pass. After all, the number of reinforcements sent in recent years had become fewer and fewer, and no one was repairing the broken city walls.

If this was not the territory of Dayu and the pass opened up by their Li family ancestors, they would not have defended this place to the death.

Sending this child here to do the so-called handover is just to tell them that they can abandon this place.

By the way, let this genius son who has a conflict with him bow his head and experience the dangers of the demon.

However, Seventh Brother probably couldn’t have imagined that it was only the first night after he arrived.

This evil son of his even killed two of the three immortal monsters that had been causing trouble here for years!

If this kind of achievement were to be rewarded according to merit at other frontier posts, he would probably be awarded the first-class special merit. If he did not have a title, he could be directly crowned as a third-class earl!

"The three demons you saw tonight are the demon kings from three different mountains."

Li Hongzhuang drew a circle with her sword: "This is our Cangya City."

At this point, she laughed at herself, saying that there was nothing around that could be called a "city".

"Three thousand miles to the east is the border city of Beilin Country."

"In the middle of these three thousand miles, there is a mountain range that is the first great demon force outside this border."

Li Hongzhuang drew a small circle and her expression became serious:
"That is the Longshan Dojo, and the one living there is a ten-thousand-year-old real dragon who calls himself the Dragon Lord!"

"That's the great demon from the Four Realms!"

Hearing her words, Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the circle in front of the sword tip.

"This is a forbidden area. No matter what happens, don't set foot here."

Li Hongzhuang said seriously: "Under normal circumstances, the Dragon Lord will not leave Longshan Dojo, nor will he attack our Tianmen Pass, because if he comes, it will be tantamount to invading the territory!"

Li Hao nodded slightly, thinking about what he had heard from the casual chat with the Second Master while fishing.

The great monsters from the four realms outside the border did not dare to invade rashly.

What is the reason?

It's very simple. The older generation from each God General's Mansion came to warn them personally.

This is like the agreement signed between Dayu and the demon kings of the Four Realms.

Do not listen?

Either the older generation of the Divine General's Mansion took action, or the real person from the Qiandao Palace took action.

Don't dare not listen.

Although this majestic and ancient dynasty has aged, it still has the heritage and spirit to shock the world.

As for why it was just a warning instead of killing it directly, that is another matter.

There are quite a few of these big monsters, but they are not united. If you warn them one by one, they may still be afraid. However, if you kill them in large numbers, the rest may be angered and they will all gather together, which will cause Dayu to suffer heavy casualties.

After all, Dayu no longer has the ability to destroy all the demons around him.

After all, there are some troublesome creatures among these monsters.

The immortal from Qiandao Palace sits in the imperial capital of Yuzhou all year round and rarely steps out because he is worried that some monsters will lurk and attack the imperial capital!

At this time, Li Hongzhuang repeated to Li Hao the rules and regulations regarding the intrusion of the Four Realms Demon King, and then said:
"Although these four-level demon kings seem to be honest and dare not invade rashly, our army is now weakened and the Dead River has held back the Tianzhao God General's Mansion for seven or eight hundred years. These demons are ready to move again."

"They themselves dare not take risks easily, fearing that they will be hunted down and killed, but they often allow other demons under their command to come and try to invade."

"In this case, even if the court questions us, it will just be a war of words and meaningless, so we can only endure it!"

Li Hao nodded and continued listening.

He had asked the Second Master before, since the big monsters in the Four Realms didn't dare to invade, why not let the older generation guard the border? Wouldn't that be extremely safe?
But the answer he got was that there were not many people in the old generation of the Four Stages Realm.

Secondly, in addition to these old demon kings who have been registered and warned, other demon kings in the Four Realms will occasionally appear every few years or more than ten years.

They came from more distant places, or practiced in the deep mountains and forests, and were not familiar with Dayu.

When they wandered into Dayu's territory, they were often unscrupulous and would directly massacre cities and destroy the land. If there was no time to stop them, they could even swallow up half a state.

The older generation needs to deal with these monsters, and there is no point in warning these monsters that have already invaded the territory and caused large-scale casualties. They must be executed as a warning to others, which will inevitably lead to a war.

Many older generations of the Divine Generals' Palace also died because of this.

Seeing that Li Hao was just listening but had no questions, Li Hongzhuang raised her eyebrows and immediately started talking:
"Although the Taoist master Longshan cannot enter the territory, if you rashly appear in its territory, it will have a reason to kill you, so you must not get close."

"The Chihu Jun you saw tonight is actually the mount under the command of Taoist Master Longshan."

Li Hongzhuang's eyes turned cold, and she said, "These demons in the Four Realms do not move themselves, but allow their subordinates to invade and test us repeatedly. Once they are injured or defeated, they will flee back directly. If we rush out to chase them, we will be caught and eaten by them."

Mount? Li Hao looked strange.

A real dragon demon king, whose mount is a tiger?

Dragon riding tiger?
No wonder the tiger demon had chains on his body, most likely they were restraints similar to a saddle, and also served as weapons for his attack and killing.

"Besides Taoist Master Longshan, the second demon king is to the north."

Li Hongzhuang drew another circle on the ground, but this one was much larger and closer to the campsite:

"This is the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range. There is a demon king who has been practicing for a very long time. We call him the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King."

"The strength of the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King and the Dragon Lord is equal. I don't know who is stronger, but if we meet them, we will definitely die."

"But it has also been registered and warned. The six-tusked stinging pig you just killed was a fierce general under its command."

She then drew another circle to the south:
"There is a solitary peak here, but within a radius of 500 miles, no one dares to step into it, and no demon dares to enter rashly."

"Inside is the third demon king, the Holy Mountain Demon King!"

Li Hongzhuang glanced at Li Hao and said, "You may be familiar with the origin of this demon king. He once practiced in the Holy Palace in Yanbei and mastered the unique skills of the demon clan in the Holy Palace. It seems that he was once an elder there. Now he has left and occupied a mountain here hundreds of years ago, calling himself the Holy Mountain."

"Your father has been fighting with the Holy Palace for more than ten years. The situation in Yanbei should be extremely complicated. I don't know much either. It's a blessing that your father can return."

Li Hao said nothing and had no expression on his face.

He heard the implication in Li Hongzhuang's words: the war in Yanbei would be difficult.

The other party probably thought that the conflict between herself and the man was because the other party had been away from home for many years during the war and she was resentful and did not understand.

He didn't explain anything about this, nor did he need to explain anything.

"Has the Beilin Kingdom invaded its borders?"

Li Hao asked.

Li Hongzhuang frowned slightly, and when she saw that Li Hao didn't respond to her words, she sighed in her heart.

As Li Hao's aunt and the younger sister of the Seventh Brother, she naturally hopes that the father and son can resolve their conflicts and reconcile.

But it seems that there is no effect for the time being.

She didn't think about it anymore, and her mind returned to Li Hao's words, saying:

"The Beilin Nation would never dare to offend us openly, but they like to do some small tricks secretly, such as worshipping the Taoist Master Longshan and secretly sacrificing many lives every year to let him test us."

When she said this, her face turned cold.

Li Hao frowned. Sacrificing living people to demons was something that only some extremely backward villages and towns in Dayu would do.

Mortals offer sacrifices to demons in exchange for protection or the demons' power, which they use to bully the people in their community.

Once an incident occurs, the Demon Suppression Bureau will step in to resolve it and kill all those involved.

But now, other major powers are using this shameless method to target Dayu.

As expected, in the face of war, all means must be used.

After Li Hongzhuang finished speaking, Li Hao had some understanding of the situation outside Tianmen Pass.

"You killed Chihu Jun and Liuya Zhezhu last night. They should be furious and may attack again in the near future, or even tomorrow."

There was no retreat in Li Hongzhuang's eyes, instead a cold murderous intent emerged.

Li Hao nodded slightly and asked, "So they usually live in the Demon King's lair, and don't have their own lair?"

"Of course not."

Li Hongzhuang said: "The Taoist master of Longshan is thousands of miles away from here, and it takes a lot of time to travel back and forth. What's more, which warrior likes to stay under the master's nose every day? They all have their own nests outside, and it is more convenient for them to mate, eat and drink on weekdays."

Li Hao's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Then do you know the location of their nest?"

"Are you really going to destroy their nest?"

Li Hongzhuang asked in surprise.

Li Hao nodded: "Since we are going to kill them, we will kill them all."

He spoke calmly, but Li Hongzhuang narrowed her eyes and then a smile appeared on her cold face:

"Well said, very courageous!"

Immediately, she drew two circles on the ground with her sword: "The spies checked before, and it seems to be in these two directions, about three or four hundred miles away. You can check, but don't go too far, otherwise you will enter the devil's heartland and be discovered by the demon king. Even gods can't save you!"

Li Hao glanced at the scribbled map she had drawn and noted the directions.

At this time, the fangs in his hand were almost heated up.

He immediately gathered the blazing flames in his hands and began to polish and carve with the animal horn.

[Carving experience +24...+19...+35...]

Experience hints emerged one after another, and Li Hao was polishing them carefully.

After being roasted by the flames for half an hour, combined with the beast's horns and tremendous strength, the polishing progress of the fangs increased rapidly.

Perhaps it is because the material of the pig monster's fangs is quite rare, experience prompts are endless, and occasionally large amounts of experience points will appear.

When the barbecue was ready, Li Hongzhuang picked it up and started eating.

While Li Hao was still polishing, a prompt suddenly appeared on his carving path, and he had accumulated 500 experience points and was promoted to the second level!
In the blink of an eye, two skill points were obtained.

Li Hao couldn't help but sigh that it was really easy to obtain the art points in carving.

However, he guessed that it was inseparable from the quality of the pig's teeth. If he had carved an ordinary wooden plaque himself, the experience value would probably have increased by 1 or 2 points.

To verify this, Li Hao heated the pig's tooth for the second time while polishing it halfway, and then used the horn to carve on the tree stump with one hand.

With the second level of carving skills, he was already able to make detailed carvings that were lifelike.

I carved a little man in overalls on the spot, but in the end I only got less than 20 experience points.

Stingy.

It seems that carving is indeed related to the quality of the materials, just like his painting and fishing, the more difficult it is, the more experience he gains.

Time passed quietly.

When the campfire dimmed a little, Li Hao finished the third grinding. The originally long curved pig tooth was ground into a sharper crescent shape.

But it is still somewhat different from a sword. It can barely be considered a large heavy sword, and the blade is extremely blunt.

Chopping may not kill someone, but smashing will most likely kill them.

Li Hao chiseled a round hole at the root of the tooth to make it easier for his hand to hold it.

He told Ren Qianqian not to run around in the camp and to take good care of the little white fox.

He picked up the crescent-shaped pig-tooth sword and walked out of the camp.

"You're going tonight?"

Li Hongzhuang returned to the small mound and was stunned when she saw Li Hao's actions.

It was still late at night, early in the morning.

"Because they might run away." Li Hao smiled. To be safe, he took the opportunity to rest while sharpening the sword. At this moment, he had recovered about 70% of his strength.

"..."

Li Hongzhuang was speechless. She didn't expect that this young man was more enthusiastic about slaying demons than she was.

"Then you better be careful." Li Hongzhuang said. Li Hao was able to kill two big monsters and escape unscathed. Although he was only at the Heavenly Man Realm, his actual combat ability was already at the level of the Three Immortals. With Li He looking after him, she was relatively relieved.

After all, it would be ridiculous to take care of the Three Immortals like a baby in swaddling clothes. Li Hao nodded, then flew out and disappeared into the night outside the camp.

……

……

The whistling wind blew, and Li Hao climbed over mountains and hills in the darkness.

The soul rushed out from his head, and under the moonlight, it patrolled the heaven and earth, monitoring all directions.

Occasionally he saw some small demons along the way, and he would kill them with his weapons.

They went straight in one direction, left the wilderness outside the pass, crossed the forest, climbed over several mountains, and galloped three hundred miles overnight.

Li Hao finally smelled a strong fishy odor.

There is still a lot of fresh blood and some monster limbs on the ground here.

He took a closer look and saw the remains of three demon corpses. Their flesh was torn and bloody, and they seemed to be injured and eaten by their own kind.

Li Hao looked forward and saw a hilltop. There were all kinds of debris all around it and a fishy smell wafting over.

Without hesitation, Li Hao flew straight over.

"Ma'am, please accept my condolences. Mr. Black Scale has already gone to Longshan Dojo."

There was firelight in the huge cave carved out in the middle of the mountain, and reflected on the cave wall were several hideous shadows.

"Shut up, you cowards. If you were to cover the king's retreat, how could it die?"

A woman's low roar was heard from inside.

It was a little quiet in the cave.

Suddenly, the sound of wind drifted into the cave.

"Who?!"

Several shadows on the cave wall were suddenly startled, and then two shadows shrank. It turned out that two figures walked out from the corner, and the distance between them and the cave wall was shortened, and the shadows also shrank in front of them.

"You are so brave to stay here."

A calm voice said.

In the dim moonlight at the cave entrance, Li Hao walked over carrying a pig-tooth sword. Outside the cave behind him, under the cold moonlight, there were dead bodies of demons all over the mountains.

Their deaths were extremely tragic, with their bodies all torn apart and they were killed in one blow.

"It's you!"

One of them, a burly middle-aged man with a leopard tail on his back, suddenly changed color, his eyes bulged out, and he was extremely shocked.

He recognized the young man's face and realized that it was he who killed the king!

escape!
After being shocked, this thought suddenly appeared in its mind, and its body suddenly changed its shape and rushed to another place in the cave, trying to escape.

But a sword energy suddenly slashed over, and petals seemed to appear around.

Where do the flowers in the cave come from?
Then, the middle-aged man's body split apart and he fell onto the petals on the ground, his whole body torn into pieces in an instant.

With a whoosh, a soul rushed out of his body, extremely terrified, but before it could escape, it was swept by another sword energy and was instantly destroyed.

Seeing this, the other demon didn't bother to say anything and also fled into the depths of the cave.

Two minutes later.

Li Hao sat deep in the cave, in front of him was a huge bonfire made of several tree stumps.

Beside the campfire, four demon corpses lay dead, no sign of life left.

He flipped through two books of exercises in his hand, recorded them all in the panel, and then said to the woman with a strong figure and broad back who was kneeling at his feet:

"No other skills?"

"No, no more."

The majestic woman said tremblingly, with deep fear in her eyes.

In front of this young man, they didn't even have a chance to escape. The sword energy was invisible and seemed to ignore distance and could arrive in an instant.

"You said that under the command of Taoist Master Longshan, there are six people who are at the same level as your great king?"

Li Hao frowned slightly. If six demons in the third immortal realm had attacked at the same time, Li Hongzhuang and the others would have been killed long ago.

"Ah."

"Then why didn't they join forces to attack Tianmen Mountain?" Li Hao asked.

"The king said that the Dragon Lord won't let them capture Tianmen Mountain so quickly. This way, they can slowly taste more delicacies, and at the same time they can also tie down the Li family's military power..." the strong woman said tremblingly, her eyes full of fear, but also seemed to be hiding a ferocious nature.

"If that's the case, then why is it attacking tonight?"

Li Hao asked again.

"The king said that he wanted to eat Li Hongzhuang. As for Tianmen Mountain, he will stay here and see if there are other members of the Li family who continue to guard it. He will eat them all if they come."

The strong woman said this, looking at Li Hao cautiously. The young man in front of her seemed to be a member of the Li family as well.

Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. Is he using Tianmen Mountain as a fishing platform?
He used Tianmen Mountain to eat the offerings from Beilin Kingdom, while at the same time he was trying to hook the Li family.

"Why should the Li family be delayed here?" Li Hao asked again.

"I don't know about that. The king didn't tell me." The strong woman said with a pale face.

"Ok?"

Li Hao stared at her.

"It seems so..." The strong woman approached nervously.

Roar!
Suddenly, the fangs in her mouth grew larger and her expression became ferocious, turning into a huge lion head, trying to bite off Li Hao's head.

But as soon as she pounced over, Li Hao's palm pressed down on her head, and her chin hit Li Hao's sitting knee hard. The bones of the lion head were obviously not as hard as Li Hao's kneecaps, and it was like hitting a stone, making a sound of bones breaking.

While the opponent's head was buzzing and confused, Li Hao's palm had already reached the back of his neck. With a flick of his finger, sword energy shot out from his fingertips.

The spine behind his head and neck was penetrated, one section of the spine was severed, and the head and body were separated.

At this moment, a soul flew out from the lion's head in panic, trying to escape in fear. Li Hao blew at it, and the power of controlling objects enveloped it, crushing its soul.

After doing all this, Li Hao's eyes fell on the two books of martial arts in his hands.

He clenched his fist, and the pages of the martial arts book shattered into pieces, which scattered to the ground along his fingertips.

Li Hao stood up, patted his butt, and walked out of the cave holding the pig-tooth sword.

He stood in front of the cave entrance, his soul flew out, and patrolled dozens of miles in all directions with the mountain as the center.

Use your soul to fly over and kill all the monsters you see within a radius of thirty miles.

Some wild beasts on the ground that had not yet been contaminated by evil spirits were killed at random.

Including several ant nests at the back of the mountain, they were all collapsed by the wave of the hand, and even a group of small fish swimming in the nearby stream were crushed.

At the same time, sand was used to fill up both ends of the stream, cutting off the activity of this water source.

Without water, wild animals will not gather here, and their survival rate will be greatly reduced.

After doing all this, Li Hao checked one last time to make sure that no lives were missed before he left, his figure disappearing into the night.

After one hour.

Li Hao appeared in another hilly basin.

This is the lair of the six-tusked stinging pig. A patrolling demon is wandering on the hills outside the basin.

Li Hao picked up a weed and pierced his forehead from ten miles away.

The patrol flag in the little demon's hand also fell down.

Li Hao walked straight into the basin. The stench of feces and urine made him frown slightly. He immediately held his breath and rushed in quickly.

Soon, the stench in the basin was mixed with a strong smell of blood.

Li Hao rushed out from inside, covering his nose and leaving quickly.

The place where this pig demon is is really suffocating...

This pig demon knows how to enjoy life. In addition to seven or eight sow demons, there are also two leopard demons and a bird demon in his lair. His private life is quite exciting.

Running quickly in the night, Li Hao returned to the camp.

Li Hongzhuang was sitting on a small hill, holding a sword in her arms, and seemed to be sleeping with her eyes closed.

The sound of Li Hao's returning footsteps made her frown slightly. She slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it and asked, "Did you find it?"

"Ah."

Li Hao nodded.

"Is there no danger?" Li Hongzhuang asked, but after looking at Li Hao's body, she knew that she was asking unnecessary questions.

"I almost threw up."

Li Hao said with lingering fear.

"?"

Li Hao smiled and said, "You should take a rest first."

Li Hongzhuang glanced at him and didn't ask any more questions. She closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

Li Hao returned to the campfire. Ren Qianqian came out of the tent next to him and said, "Master, you're back."

"Still not asleep?"

"Just fell asleep."

"Then go back to sleep."

"then you……"

"Don't worry about me, just go and rest." Li Hao waved his hand.

Ren Qianqian glanced at him twice and immediately realized that she could not help much, so she said good night and returned to the tent.

Li Hao sat down in front of the campfire and looked at the night sky around him. Knowing that Old Feng was still accompanying him in the dark, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and became more and more eager to become stronger as soon as possible. In this way, he could also feel more relaxed.

"An extra meal tomorrow."

Li Hao muttered to himself.

"You said it, little brat." A voice floated into my ears.

When Li Hao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and hummed loudly.

The moon is shining and the stars are shining, the night sky is clear.

The figures of an old man and a young boy were both covered in the night, with faint smiles on their faces.

Li Hao did not rest, but instead practiced the five body-building exercises he had just acquired.

But among them, only two are top-level, even surpassing the Thousand Dragons Holy Body of Tingyu Tower.

Perhaps only Li Hao, who has deduced the complete Taichu Gong, can compete with him.

The two techniques are "Five-organ Mixed Body" and "Ming Yu Zhen Mo Gong".

As the panel was input, the two skills were quickly upgraded to the highest level.

The large amount of memories that had previously flooded into his mind were now dug out by Li Hao. He reviewed them and then stood in front of the extinguished campfire to practice.

As his body moved, his bones seemed to emit low thunder.

The blood, bones and flesh in the body are stimulated to generate powerful strength during the practice of the exercises, and at the same time they also greedily absorb energy from the heaven and earth and continuously replenish themselves.

Li Hao's body was transforming rapidly, and his skin color became delicate, smooth and tough.

Li He stood in the dark, watching Li Hao practice, with surprise in his eyes.

After following him for these days, this was the first time he saw this extremely talented young master practicing.

I heard from people in the mansion that they had never seen this young master practice martial arts. I didn't expect that he would practice in the middle of the night.

However, is it possible to become world-famous with just this little time every day?
At this moment, Li He suddenly saw that the energy between heaven and earth surged and rapidly gathered towards the young man's body.

Li He's pupils suddenly contracted, revealing a look of horror.

Is this practicing martial arts or plundering?
The energy between heaven and earth gathered like a storm, and poured into Li Hao's body like a funnel, and was absorbed by the Five Internal Organs Hunyuan Body Technique.

Li Hao's body was rapidly forged and tempered, and his internal organs, including flesh, blood, and meridians, were all condensed.

Waves of terrifying power emanated from Li Hao's body, and his physical strength increased significantly.

Such a commotion made Li Hongzhuang, who was far away, open her eyes slightly and look sideways.

After completing a set of exercises, Li Hao felt that his strength increased a lot, his internal energy became more abundant, and his body became as tough as animal skin.

He then continued to practice it a second time, and a third time.

With repeated practice, by the ninth time, the improvement brought by this technique gradually reached saturation.
