Chapter 657 The Joy of Slaying Demons?
Fox demon bloodline.

Charm.

Cold and aloof.

When the mask fragments fell into the sea, the splashes formed hundreds of hissing snakes.

"Woo——"

Bai Zhi opened her mouth and let out a sharp hiss, while the remaining turtles trembled under the dual pressure of the dragon's might and the half-demon bloodline.

“Bloodline suppression. This powerful figure from the Demon Suppression Division possesses extremely high demon bloodline.” Pei Lie spoke softly on the sea-crossing boat.

A faint blue light emanated from his natal sword, a sign that it was spontaneously defending itself against the erosion of the dragon's essence.

He witnessed Bai Zhi controlling the turtles with her snake-like eyes, and in a daze, he recalled the records in the sect's ancient texts: "A half-demon controlling another demon is like slitting one's own throat with a knife; the throat is severed without the demon even realizing it..."

A powerful individual with demon blood actually works in the Heavenly Suppression Bureau.

It is said that the Zhen Tian Division is open-minded and trusting, and it seems that this is not just a rumor.

"These demons actually submitted..." Nie Duanqiu's eyes were filled with disbelief.

To everyone's eyes, the black-armored turtles floating in the sea actually lifted their plastrons to reveal the "Sea-Overturning Pearl" beating in their hearts.

This is a sign of the crustacean monsters' submission!

"Knock on the heart and question the armor, close the net." Lu Tianshu's third demonic eye suddenly opened, and the chains intertwined into a blood-red net, simultaneously scooping out three hundred Sea-Overturning Pearls.

The essence of the dragon and the Scroll of Ten Thousand Demons intertwined in the sky, transforming into a blue-gold vortex.

The demon-locking chain network below tightened like a blood-red spider web, with each "wire" strung with the lingering souls of wailing demons.

As Xue Dingyue watched Mo Xuan's Demon-Locking Tower absorb all the demon blood and the Xuan Turtle totem appeared on the tower's body, a look of surprise finally flashed in his eyes.

"They...refined the demonic beasts into weapon blueprints!"

The Demon Suppression Division—the demonic beasts they suppress are their weapons!
"Om-"

A trembling sound echoed in the void.

Suddenly, the jade pendant made of a hundred demon cores at Qinglan's waist exploded, and the demon core dust condensed into blood-red contract runes in the air.

The 50,000 new soldiers were horrified to discover that their armor was covered in demonic runes.

The demonic runes flowing on these armors flickered in the thunderstorm, resonating with the ancient patterns on the Xuan Turtle's shell.

"Don't worry, this is the Demon Suppression Division transferring some of the demon beast's defensive power to your armor through a blood pact."

Consider this a small gift from the Demon Suppression Division to you.

Yu Wanjun's voice echoed throughout the Zhenhai boat.

Such mysterious methods exist?

On the Zhenhai ship, a group of soldiers stroked the dark patterns on their armor, their faces filled with surprise and joy.

These demonic markings must be very powerful, right?
Lu Tianchu landed on the Zhenhai boat, bowed to Zhang Yuan, and looked somewhat uneasy.

"The Jiaolong's armor-piercing efficiency is acceptable, but it did not utilize tidal oscillations to expand the thunderstorm's range."

"Just as the Marquis said, our Demon Suppression Division's methods have indeed become much less sophisticated."

"Old Lu is quite humble today, that's rare." Yin Jiuyou grinned from the side.

Lu Tianchu's lips twitched slightly, and he lowered his head a little.

Who is the Marquis of Qingyang?

Those were powerful individuals who had risen through the ranks of battle.

Others may not know the strength of Marquis Qingyang, but how could Lu Tianshu not know?

At that time, in front of the Demon-Suppressing Bronze Pillar outside the Zhen Tian Division, Qingyang Marquis alone suppressed the twelve powerful members of the Zhen Tian Division, preventing them from raising their heads.

Such a powerful person cannot tolerate any injustice.

Zhang Yuan flicked away the Xuan Turtle Demon Core in his palm, then looked at the newly added turtle-shaped relief on the Mo Xuan Demon Locking Tower. "Chief Lu, remember to leave three live Xuan Turtles for the Ministry of Works—their carapaces can be used to forge thirty 'Sea-Suppressing Shields'."

The Ministry of Works has no shortage of Zhenhai Shields.

But the imperial city is lacking.

For at least a century, no live black tortoises have been delivered to the imperial city.

Thirty Zhenhai Shields are enough to arouse the interest of many forces in the imperial city.

Lu Tianchu bowed and clasped his hands in greeting: "Yes, sir."

“Bai Zhi’s bloodline resonance lasts for a maximum of twelve hours, allowing Qing Lan’s blood pact to be reinforced every six hours.” Zhang Yuan’s gaze swept over the new soldiers whose armor was covered in demonic runes, and he rarely smiled: “These kids are finally starting to look like the henchmen of the Heavenly Suppression Division.”

The Demon Suppression Division's actions demonstrate a method of "using demons to subdue demons."

This not only verifies the feasibility of linking the "Ten Thousand Demons Catalogue" with the Demon-Locking Tower, but also allows the new army to personally experience the fierce style of the Heavenly Suppressor's Division, which "refines demon beasts into armor runes".

Moreover, Zhang Yuan's plan for the Zulong Guard's military reorganization required the use of demonic beasts to enhance the army's combat effectiveness.

This is an extremely important part.

Looking towards the distant Zhenhai Island, where the bronze pillars had disappeared, and where demonic energy swirled and collided with spiritual light, Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"Let the disciples of the Nine Yang Sword Sect have their swords stained with some demon blood, and those daring soldiers can also experience the joy of slaying demons."

Zhang Yuan's voice slowly rang out.

The joy of slaying demons?
The people in the cabin exchanged glances and smiled.

------------------

Outside Zhenhai Island.

Amidst the jumbled rocks and reefs.

The poisonous miasma floating on the sea had not yet dissipated, and a large group of Nine Yang Sword Sect disciples were panting and resting against the rocks.

Chu Zhaonan's sword was already stained with demon blood.

"Oh dear, what a huge loss..."

He looked at the black tortoise at his feet, riddled with holes from the poisonous miasma, and a hint of unease appeared on his face.

In a daze, I heard Elder Pei Lie's admonition echoing in the waves: "The sword intent must cut through the gaps in the scales, lest you destroy the Overturning Sea Pearl..."

The pearl that covers the sea.

One of these things is worth at least ten thousand gold coins.

Just now, they were so focused on killing the dying Xuan Turtle that they forgot to protect the Overturning Sea Pearl.

"Clang!"

An armored soldier three zhang away was knocked over by a black tortoise.

Dozens of soldiers retreated in panic.

Soldier Wang Cheng uttered a low shout, slamming his bronze chain against the tortoise shell, sparks flying.

The other soldiers rushed forward, slashing and thrusting with their swords and spears, causing bright red tortoise blood to splatter.

New recruit Zhao Dahu's standard-issue spear precisely pierced the turtle's eye, precisely the starting stance of the "Big Dipper Locking Demon" demonstrated by the Spirit Array Master yesterday.

The old master craftsman from the Ministry of Works stomped his feet and rushed over: "You little brat! This is a top-quality back armor that can be made into twelve breastplates!"

"Tsk tsk, what a great ***..."

"Bam—"

Not far away, a wave suddenly burst open, and Nie Duanqiu, soaking wet, leaped onto the deck, sword in one hand and half of an octopus-like tentacle in the other.

"Heh, Senior Brother Nie killed a Grandmaster-level demon."

"Good heavens, its scales are like copper coins, and its claws and teeth are bluish-gray. This great demon is probably about to transform into the Vajra Realm."

On the deck, the Sword Sect disciples looked on with reverence and exclaimed in surprise.

The demon-suppressing guard Qinglan's gaze fell on the water demon's long beard that Nie Duanqiu was holding, and she sneered, "To stab a sea demon at its seven-inch mark, you need to rotate your wrist three times. Your sword flourishes are quite beautiful, but all the innate water spiritual energy in the demon core has been leaked out."

Demon elixir?

Demon pill.

Nie Duanqiu's lips twitched.

He forgot about that; he was too focused on fighting.

The elders of our clan said before we went into the water that demon cores were valuable...

"boom!"

Thirty feet away, the dark blue seawater surged with turbid waves, and Yun Zhao, the pharmacist of the Secret Medicine Department, rushed over, stepping on lotus flowers formed from poisonous miasma.

She came to collect the medicinal herbs.

Demon blood, demon flesh, and demon cores are all considered elixirs by pharmacists.
