I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 130: Kaifeng Prefecture Shock
With these nine martial arts skills, all members of the Changle Gang, regardless of their talent, can reach the best level they can reach through continuous practice.

Moreover, the Nine Styles of Jie Tian emphasize gradual progress. The nine martial arts are not only the basics for entry, but can also be transformed into advanced skills as the level of cultivation deepens, truly realizing the principle of "teaching without distinction".

Li Qingyun was very satisfied with this and memorized the skills in his heart, but he did not waste his energy and blood on it, because after all, this was only a martial art for cultivation below the innate realm, and he had better options.

In addition to the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong which serves as the foundation, among the martial arts he has mastered are the "Eight Trigrams Wansheng Sword Technique" taught by Bai Yunrui and the "Heavenly Thunder True Evil" which is a combination of the "Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique", "Tiangang Body Tempering Technique" and "Liuhe True Evil".

The "Bagua Wansheng Sword Technique" was obtained from the Babao Yunxiao Temple on Mount Emei. It is a simplified version of the "Big Dipper Sword Technique", the unique martial art of this martial arts holy land. It was also created by the predecessors of the Emei School in order to help newcomers get started quickly. After deletions and modifications, many complex changes and difficult moves were removed. It is a martial art specifically for martial artists in the "Refining Essence" realm to practice.

The complete version of "Big Dipper Sword Technique" is exquisite, complex and mysterious, but it must be driven by innate true qi to exert its full power, so it is only passed on to warriors above the innate realm.

Li Qingyun asked himself if he had accumulated enough merits. When he returned to Kaifeng Prefecture, as long as he asked, Bai Yunrui would most likely teach him all the martial arts he knew, without him having to expend extra energy to deduce them.

As for the "Heavenly Thunder True Evil", he relied on the magical power of "initiation" to integrate the Taoist thunder-driving technique with evil spirit, and cultivated his unique skill by chance.

At least as far as he knew, he had never heard of such a technique.

But this "Qi Refining" level martial arts can no longer meet his needs.

In fact, as early as when the Zhu family was dealing with evil spirits, Li Qingyun had already discovered that although "Heavenly Thunder True Evil" had the ability to attack multiple enemies at the same time, its lethality was limited.

When facing the dragon demon before, he first used "Po Xie" to cut open the opponent's body, and then used "Tian Lei Zhen Sha" to attack the opponent's meridians. Otherwise, facing the powerful body of the dragon, this martial art would not even be able to break through the defense.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyun closed his eyes and meditated, deducing the "Heavenly Thunder True Evil". With the sacrifice of his qi and blood, he soon acquired a new martial art.

"Shenxiao Soul Refining"!
[Remaining Qi and Blood: 612 Souls]

Looking at the still sufficient energy and blood, Li Qingyun began the initiation practice without hesitation.

The moment his mind came into contact with this technique, the contents contained therein immediately appeared before his eyes.

"The mysterious power of God's creation is wonderful, and the power of refining souls to return to the true God is magnificent."

After the deduction and sublimation of the magical power of "Yanfa", "Tianlei Zhensha" has gone beyond the scope of general martial arts and is more like a magic spell.

If this technique was not still driven by the innate true qi of martial arts, Li Qingyun would almost think it was a Taoist method.

"Shenxiao Soul Refining" is still a martial art based on the power of heavenly thunder, transforming the innate true qi into evil spirit with the power of sealing, and then launching an attack.

The overall idea of ​​the exercise has not changed, but the various subtle changes and applications therein are completely different from before.

With the consumption of a large amount of Qi and blood, the cultivation gradually made progress.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: 378 Souls]...

Relying on his unique mental secret technique, Li Qingyun has been able to perfectly control thunder and lightning. Not only can he use his innate true qi to summon the divine thunder and unleash terrifying attacks similar to heavenly punishment, he can also enter the "Thor" state for a short period of time, using the power of thunder and lightning to stimulate his mind, greatly improving his offensive and defensive capabilities and gaining additional strength.

This is undoubtedly a huge supplement for Li Qingyun, who currently lacks explosive means.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: 223 Souls]...

The evil spirit in Li Qingyun's body was further condensed, changing from a "true evil" that was as solid as a substance into a "divine evil" with soul power. It could form a "soul-refining blade" to directly attack the enemy's soul. It was invisible and intangible, pointing directly at the heart, making it difficult to resist.

In a sense, this is more like a spiritual practice, except that it lacks some weirdness but is more lethal.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Seventy-four Souls]...

When his energy and blood were almost exhausted, Li Qingyun finally completely integrated the power of thunder and lightning with the evil spirit and achieved perfection.

His spirit was further tempered, and within his indestructible body, he possessed powerful soul power, allowing him to gain stronger resistance to special attack methods such as spiritual practice, witches, and the underworld and demonic ways.

Not only that, every move he performed now had the bonus of the God of Thunder and Lightning, making it even more powerful.

The enemies fighting against him must have both physical and spiritual defenses to withstand the power of the Thunder Soul's Heavenly Punishment.

……

Li Qingyun opened his eyes, feeling the perfect resonance between the power of thunder and lightning and the power of soul in his body, and felt very satisfied.

This new set of skills perfectly made up for his shortcomings and also provided him with more varied means of attack.

……

Late at night, Bianliang City, Kaifeng Prefecture.

The lights in the inner hall were still bright, and Bao Zheng was still handling official business all night long.

Confucians do not have the ability to prolong their lives unless they reach the semi-god realm. This old man, who is nearly sixty years old, has slightly gray hair and beard, but the undercurrents in Tokyo Bianliang have been surging recently, and there is a sense of crisis that a storm is about to come, which makes him dare not relax at all.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report:
"Your Excellency, General Xu Liang is outside the door asking to see you!"

Upon hearing this, Bao Zheng suddenly looked up, his eyes shining with brilliance.

Xu Liang has been carrying out the mission secretly for many days. Now that it has arrived late at night, there must be progress on that matter.

He said calmly:

"Invite him in."

The guard retreated in response, and soon Xu Liang appeared in the inner hall.

He took off his bamboo hat, revealing his black eyebrows and slightly haggard face, and bowed and said:
"Xu Liang from Shanxi, meeting Mr. Bao."

Bao Zheng gently put down the brush in his hand and smiled warmly:

"The three generals came here late at night. There must be good news?"

Xu Liang grinned, revealing his large teeth and black tooth roots, and spoke in the unique Shanxi Mandarin:
"Xiao Woli was quite cunning. He disguised himself, changed his hairstyle, and shaved his beard, but unfortunately he still couldn't get rid of his bad habits of lust and drinking. The Shanxi people kept watch for a few days, and luckily I finally succeeded in my mission. I found some clues about him and locked his whereabouts. But according to the adults' instructions, we didn't alert him."

Bao Zheng nodded with great satisfaction and said:

"Have you found out his purpose for coming to Bianliang City?"

Xu Liang frowned and shook his head:
"According to my observation, apart from visiting brothels twice, he has not come into contact with other people, nor has he made any special moves. For the time being, I cannot see any intentions.

"Yes, but witches have the ability to send messages through dreams. We cannot rule out the possibility that he has communicated with others in secret."

Bao Zheng continued to ask: "Has the invitation to hero been sent out?"

Xu Liang wiped the sweat from his head and nodded:
"Yunrui sent a pigeon yesterday to contact the Eight Treasures Yunxiao Temple in Mount Emei. His teacher, the White Cloud Swordsman Xiahou Ren, is on his way. With his supernatural powers, I believe he will be able to reach Bianliang City tomorrow.

“In addition, the head of the Shaolin Temple’s Bodhidharma Academy, the Great Buddha Ouyang Zhonghui, and the first disciple of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, the high-level master Zhang Shouzhen, will also arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

"Master Bao, if these seniors come, can we contact Tianbo Mansion to work together to control Xiao Wuli and find out his conspiracy?"

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment and said calmly:
"Don't be impatient yet. We don't know Xiao Wo Li's background yet. We don't know if he has any strong supporters. Even if we catch him, it's not easy to get useful information from a sorcerer. Let's discuss it after those martial arts masters come."

Then he asked:

"Where is Xiao Wo Li staying now?"

Xu Liang's face turned pale, and he replied:
"That fellow is very cautious. He has at least three or four different residences. I have already found out two of them, in ..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Liang suddenly found his mind went blank and he actually forgot what he had just said.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a chill coming from behind, as if a pair of invisible hands were tightly grasping his heart, and ominous, vague whispers came to his ears.

Suddenly, the world spun around, Xu Liang's vision gradually blurred, and his body seemed to have lost all its supporting strength, and he collapsed weakly.

The moment he fell, a chilly breath seemed to flash through the air, and the low murmur gradually disappeared, leaving only an eerie silence.

"Third General...Ryouko!"

Bao Zheng was shocked and stood up suddenly, running to Xu Liang in two steps to check on him.

The White-browed Hero's eyes rolled back, his whole body twitched, and an extremely terrified expression appeared on his face, as if a huge disaster and misfortune had befallen him from the unknown.

curse!

This is the witch's curse...

……

The next morning, the sun was high in the clear sky, casting a warm and bright golden light.

The streets of Bianliang City were bustling with activity. Li Qingyun and Fang Shuan were riding tall horses, dragging three huge dragon monster heads behind them, and slowly walked towards Kaifeng Prefecture.

The three dragon heads looked ferocious, their scales flashed with cold light, and their open mouths revealed sharp fangs, which made people shudder.

People on the street made way for the two heroes, cheering for their triumphant return. Some waved their arms excitedly, some shouted loudly, and some knelt on the ground to pay homage. The children opened their eyes wide and looked at the huge head of the dragon monster, their hearts filled with reverence and yearning.

"Who is that?" someone in the crowd asked in a low voice.

Another person replied:

"Didn't you hear what Big Head Ghost Fang Ye just said? That's Li Qingyun, the new master of Kaifeng Prefecture."

Whispers continued to spread among the crowd...

"Isn't that Chief Li from the Changle Gang? He's actually from Kaifeng Prefecture! No wonder he's fair in everything he does, much better than the original Jinfengxiyu Tower!"

"That's right. In the past, the Golden Wind and Rain Tower did nothing but collected 30% of the fees every month. Now, the Changle Gang only collects less than 10% and chases away the hooligans who come to cause trouble. They are simply the kings of justice!"

"..."

"I've heard rumors that a powerful person has come to Kaifeng Prefecture, but I didn't expect it to be true, and he's so young!"

"Amitabha, this gentleman looks like he is only in his early twenties, but he can actually kill a dragon! I wonder which one is more powerful, the White Eyebrowed Hero or the Jade Faced Little Damo?"

Everyone was talking at once. In fact, most people in Bianliang City had never heard of Li Qingyun's name. They only knew that a young rising star seemed to have emerged in Kaifeng Prefecture recently. But when Li Qingyun and Fang Shuan brought the three dragon monster heads into the city, everyone remembered this new strong man.

Originally, according to Li Qingyun, he did not want to enter the city in such a high-profile manner, but Fang Shuan insisted on doing so, saying that it would give the people in Bianliang City more confidence, so he agreed.

The two of them came all the way to the Kaifeng government office. Seeing Jiang Ping waiting outside to greet them, Fang Shuan immediately dismounted, rushed forward and said:

"Grandpa Jiang, your information is not very reliable. The Huo family group is not a river monster at all. They are clearly three dragon monsters. One of the small ones is already a 'monster general', and the other two big ones are top-level 'monster kings'. If it weren't for the bravery of brother Qingyun, my old house would not be able to come back..."

Jiang Ping looked at the three ferocious dragon heads, his expression changing. He walked straight to Li Qingyun and said:

"Qingyun, you saved my life!"

Jiang Ping was originally going to go to Huojiaji in person. With his strength at the second level, how could he be a match for the three-headed dragon demon?
If Li Qingyun had not gone for him, Fanjiang Rat's entire lifelong reputation would have been ruined in the water of the Bian River.

Therefore, Jiang Ping felt both grateful and guilty, and blamed himself repeatedly.

Li Qingyun didn't care. He didn't encounter much danger and gained a lot of energy and blood. This trip to Huojiaji was not a loss at all.

So he said a few polite words, and noticing that Jiang Ping looked sad, he asked:
"Uncle Jiang, what happened?"

Jiang Ping's mustache drooped down:
"Your third brother, Xiao Liangzi is in trouble..."

When Fang Shuan heard this, he immediately became anxious and ran over, speaking with a crying tone:

"Grandpa Jiang! What's wrong with me being an old man?"

Li Qingyun also frowned. Xu Liang was a martial arts master and a cunning man, so how could something go wrong for him?
He hurriedly asked:

"Uncle, what happened?"

Jiang Ping shook his head and said:
"Xiao Liangzi is unconscious now, and won't eat or drink. He's dying. You guys come in and take a look..."

As he spoke, he pulled Li Qingyun and Fang Shuan into the yamen and led them into a room.

There were already quite a few people standing inside, including servants, doctors, and Xiao Wuyi's brothers.

Li Qingyun separated the crowd and walked up, only to see that Xu Liang's eyes were closed, his lips were purple, and his body was still shaking slightly.

Seeing this, he did not have time to ask any further questions. He gently held Xu Liang's hand and activated his divination ability...
