Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 39 A scholar dies for his confidant
Under the sunlight, an aura of solemnity and murderous intent permeated the ruins of Fulong Villa.

Xu Bin, the governor of Chuzhou, raised his hand and waved it forward, saying, "The people are in favor of us. Fulong Villa is colluding with the demons. Kill them!"

"Kill!" The Demon-Suppressing Army shouted loudly and moved forward at the same time. There were more than a thousand people in this Demon-Suppressing Army. Although they were all warriors, there were also warriors of high level among them. The blood and energy of thousands of warriors gathered together, forming a strong murderous intent. That murderous intent made the people behind them tremble and their legs shook.

Even though Liu He was a fourth-level great demon, he looked solemn when he sensed the murderous intent, but then he felt relieved, as this was an outcome he had already known.

"I will kill this big dragon." A powerful voice was heard, and a figure stepped into the air. This person was holding a big knife in his hand, and his martial spirit was overwhelming. As soon as he thought about it, a lion's roar was heard, resounding through the heaven and earth. Behind this warrior, a phantom of a lion several meters tall appeared, surrounded by purple. An extremely ferocious and domineering pressure emanated from the warrior.

"What a good martial spirit." Xu Bin raised his head and looked at the warrior and praised him. When one reaches the fourth level of martial arts practice, one can use treasures and monsters to integrate into one's own martial arts, condense a martial spirit and enhance combat power.

Wupo corresponds to the Dharma image formed by the condensed magic power of a person who practices Qi training.

A strong warrior has the opportunity to compete with a Qi Refiner.

Of course, most people who practice martial arts will not have such an opportunity.

"Yu Qing, your father rebelled back then, but the court spared your life. I didn't expect that you would not repent and instead incited demons to rebel again. Today, I will make you the same as your father the big dragon, with your bones and tendons removed." The man with the knife finished speaking, and a lion's roar shook the sky. He slashed at Yu Qing with his knife, and the purple knife light stretched across the sky, as if splitting the sky in two.

Yu Qing's white robe fluttered in the wind. He raised his head and a dragon's roar suddenly erupted from his body. The dragon's roar made the eardrums of the people around him tremble. Even the murderous intent of the Demon-Suppressing Army seemed to be dispersed by the dragon's roar.

He raised his left arm, which turned into a dragon's sharp claw. He grabbed the sword with one arm and used his strong body to grab the sword that the warrior had chopped down.

"The big demon dragon, its body is like a magic weapon." The eyes of many people around lit up. This body of precious bones could be refined into a weapon, or a powerful magic weapon.

A lion's roar was heard, and the shadow of the lion king behind the warrior bared its fangs and rushed towards Yu Qing. The clothes on his arms were torn into pieces, revealing his solid muscles. He held the knife with both hands and exerted force, and the knife rubbed against the dragon's hand.

How could Yu Qing give him a chance? He raised his right arm, which turned into a dragon's arm, growing rapidly. A phantom of a dragon seemed to appear behind him, colliding with the lion's shadow. The dragon's bone fist blasted out. The warrior felt something was wrong and dropped his knife and retreated, but was still hit by the punch. His martial spirit was shattered, his chest caved in, and the sound of broken bones was heard. His body was instantly knocked away and he coughed up blood.

This scene made the practitioners around more alert. It might not be so easy to kill this giant dragon and take down its dragon body.

It is said that the imperial court paid a huge price to capture Yu Qing's father.

"This dragon is very powerful. Let's all attack together." The injured warrior looked up at Yu Qing and said unwillingly.

"Do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people echoed him and immediately surrounded Yu Qing. Powerful magic power and martial arts burst out from all directions. Among them, some people were even people Li Fan had seen before. The old snake from the Medicine Lake and the monks from the Vajra Temple were also among the crowd.

Of course, there are also practitioners from the imperial court’s Demon Slaying Division. The ones from the Demon Slaying Division who came this time are all the elite from Chuzhou, and there are many top-level foundation-building cultivators among them.

At this time, a practitioner from the Demon Slaying Bureau stepped out. With a thought, strands of golden lines on his body rose up into the sky. In just a moment, a huge golden disk appeared in the sky above Fulong Villa. Countless lines intertwined together, blocking the sun.

"Tianluo!"

As the cultivator finished speaking, dense golden lines fell down, like countless arrows falling towards the direction where Yu Qing was.

This technique is a magic spell practiced by the Imperial Court's Demon Slaying Bureau, called the Sky Net. However, only practitioners at the Foundation Establishment stage or above have enough magic power to release this kind of magic.

For a moment, Yu Qing and his companions were like turtles in a jar, shrouded in magic.

When Yu Qing saw this scene, he knew the other party's murderous intention. A dragon roar that resounded through the heaven and earth was heard. His clothes were shredded to pieces, and his true form was revealed. A huge dragon lay across the air, rushing towards the Tianluo arrow falling from the sky.

Countless arrows fell on his body, but Yu Qing was not afraid at all. He continued to charge into the sky, directly killing the source of the spell, trying to break it by force.

Below him, the siblings Liu He and Liu Ji knew that Yu Qing was protecting them, so they transformed into their original forms and rushed into the sky with Yu Qing.

"Amitabha."

Buddhist music lingered, golden Buddha light flashed, and then a sharp voice came: "Evil obstacles."

A huge golden Buddhist handprint came down towards Liu He and Liu Ji to kill them. It was none other than the monk Wuxiang from the Vajra Temple that Li Fan had met that day.

The old snake in Xiyao Lake spit out poisonous mist and sprayed it towards the center. For a moment, all kinds of magical powers broke out at the same time, surrounding and killing Yu Qing and the other two.

Li Fan looked at the battlefield and felt a little ironic.

There are so many powerful practitioners here, claiming that they want to slay demons and eliminate evil for the sake of the people of Lin'an County, but at this moment the people of Lin'an County are suffering from the chaos of demons and evil, and no one cares.

The imperial court's demon-slaying division and the demon-suppressing army also gathered here, and they didn't care about the lives of the common people.

Yu Qing transformed into a giant dragon and rushed into the net. His huge body tore the net apart. He saw many practitioners from the Demon Slaying Division standing on all four sides. They released spells at the same time, and the net turned into countless golden lines. These lines were extremely thin and wrapped around the dragon's body like a big net.

The dragon was so huge that it was impossible to avoid it. The golden lines wrapped around it and then tightened, like thin threads that seeped into the dragon's skin and flesh.

Yu Qing roared and tried to break it free, but the harder he struggled, the tighter the golden thread became and blood oozed out.

The Demon Slayer Division was originally created to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits, and many of its spells were aimed at demons and evil spirits. This net was prepared for Yu Qing. The other practitioners seized the opportunity, and the warrior who was previously injured by Yu Qing chopped down again with a big knife, slashing at the dragon's neck, trying to kill the rest.

A long spear stabbed towards Yu Qing's eyes, trying to blind his eyeballs.

Seeing this scene, Liu Ji below let out a mournful roar and rushed towards the sky regardless of everything, but saw a huge Buddhist hand coming down to kill her, hitting her snake head, and blood splattered.

Another dragon roar shook people's eardrums. A black light flowed on Yu Qing's dragon body. The golden lines kept breaking. His huge claws stretched out at the same time. One claw grabbed the knife-wielding warrior, and the other claw grabbed the spear that was coming to kill him. He rubbed the knife and spear forward and smashed towards the two men.

The two men had no time to dodge and were caught by Yu Qing's sharp claws.

The dragon stared at the two of them with its huge eyes, then it opened its fangs and bit down. With a "pu" sound, blood spurted out. The two men didn't even have time to scream before their bodies were bitten off.

"Owner!"

The injured Liu Ji looked up at the body of the dragon in the air, only to see Yu Qing's huge eyes sweeping across the crowd one by one, and the beast nature hidden in his heart seemed to be aroused.

He ate innocent people before, and it was his fault.

But today, he was not wrong.

These people deserve to die!
"evil creature."

Xu Bin shouted in a low voice, and when he raised his eyes, he, who had been ordinary before, suddenly seemed to have become exceptionally tall. A terrifying aura emanated from him, and his body soared into the sky in an instant, standing high in the sky.

"It seems that the imperial court should not have let you, a beast, go back then." As he finished speaking, he pressed his palm towards the dragon's body. Suddenly, the magic power in the air roared and turned into an endlessly huge "Zhen" character, stretching across the sky and suppressing it.

The dragon's body rose straight up, its sharp claws flashing with terrifying demonic light as it slammed into the huge character "suppressing the evil spirit". A loud bang was heard in the air, and cracks appeared on the character "suppressing the evil spirit" before it exploded.

A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared above Xu Bin's body. An extremely sharp "pen" was suspended in the air.

This is his Dharma image, the Demon-Slaying Pen. It took a huge price to condense this Dharma image.

He was born in a humble family and was not born with any innate Dharma qualities. He studied hard in his early years in order to gain fame and fortune through imperial examinations. Later, he was appreciated by an important figure and desperately seized the opportunity. This is how he rose rapidly to the position of the prefect of Chuzhou today.

"Your parents were sentenced to death by being cut into pieces for the crime of cannibalism. You saw it with your own eyes. I never thought you would dare to do it again." Xu Bin shouted, and the demon-slaying pen swept across. A killing light appeared in the air, and the big dragon swam away.

The Demon-Slaying Pen flew towards him, continuously enlarging in size and emitting brilliant divine light. It fell along with Xu Bin's arm and killed the dragon.

A huge dragon rose up, and its sharp claws fiercely grabbed the demon-killing pen, but the pen was razor-sharp and spun violently. The terrible light cut the skin of the dragon's arm and continued to stab downwards. The dragon roared angrily and the stalemate continued.

Xu Bin flicked his sleeves, and suddenly another precious seal appeared in the sky. This seal was a magic weapon of the imperial court, covering the sky and the sun, and suppressing the dragon. There were words engraved on the seal, and a huge "suppressing" character broke out of the seal and smashed down with a bang.

"boom!"

The big dragon was smashed to the ground and the ground collapsed, but Yu Qing's sharp claws still tightly grasped the demon-killing pen.

The seal continued to kill, but saw a big snake rushing towards the seal. Liu Ji's eyes were full of resentment, and she roared: "People want to kill me, what's the crime of eating people?"

Bang... The huge seal directly pressed her body to the ground, and she vomited blood.

"You don't know how to live or die." Xu Bin said coldly. The cultivators around him rushed towards Yu Qing again. Liu He moved forward, and his huge snake body wrapped around the Demon-Slaying Pen.

"Go away." Yu Qing shouted at him.

"I can't listen to you this time." As Liu He finished speaking, a dazzling demonic light emanated from his body, and he actually rolled up the Demon-Slaying Pen and moved it upwards.

"You're looking for death." Xu Bin shouted coldly. As the Demon-Slaying Pen spun, blood continued to flow from Liu He's body. His body seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, but the body of the big snake still did not give up. The snake eyes looked at Yu Qing and said, "Master, I'll go first."

Its snake body kept cracking, and it was unable to trap the Dharma image of a person practicing in the Nascent Soul Realm.

"I always treat you as a brother." Yu Qing said.

"I know, my master." Liu He's snake eyes revealed a smile, looking relieved.

There is a saying among mankind that a gentleman will die for his friend.

A blood rain fell, and his snake body was cut into pieces by the divine brilliance of the Demon-Slaying Pen.

"Brother." Liu Ji shouted and rushed over there with her snake body, but the treasure seal suppressed her again, pinning her to the ground.
