Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 145 Beast Tide Reinforcements
The team of Divine Transformation cultivators that Dou Eqing had sensed before came chasing after the strange phenomenon in the sky disappeared.

He originally wanted to hide in Ziwei Immortal Mansion to recover.

After all, there is something wrong with his Nascent Soul now, and it is unknown how much combat power he has left.

However, he could clearly sense the scene inside the Ziwei Immortal Mansion, but his physical body could not enter.

He turned to wanting to release Xu Ci, fearing that something might happen to his connection with Ziwei Immortal Mansion, causing the people inside to be unable to get out like Shen Yirong.

However, his worries came true, and Xu Ci couldn't get it out.

Therefore, he could only call on the demon in the state of transformation to take him away from here.

The team of cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Realm were originally not far from Dou Eqing. The demon at the Spirit Transformation Realm took Dou Eqing and fled for fifty miles before being caught up.

There are nine people in this team of Divine Transformation cultivators.

The distance between the two sides was only ten miles. Nine Jindan cultivators separated and surrounded Dou Eqing from all sides, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

"Fellow Daoist, please come with us. Our leader will personally send you off."

The opposing team leader stood up and shouted.

"Who is your lord? I have no grudge against him, why would I want to fight him?"

Although Dou Eqing had some guesses about the origins of these nine people, he still asked with an innocent look.

"It's not like we're free of grudges. We're from the San Xiu Market. You've offended our Master Pan Qing, so just accept your fate."

"You big-headed ghost! It's still unknown who will win!"

Dou Eqing ordered the demon in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm to suddenly attack, and he also borrowed the power of the Xuansheng Heavenly Demon to quickly perform the "Force to Split the Sky" sword technique.

The demon teleported to appear next to a one-eyed monk on their right and ripped off his head with one claw.

This one-eyed monk was the weakest among the nine people. He was ambushed by a demon in the late stage of transformation and was killed instantly. Even his soul, which had just escaped, was grabbed by the demon and immediately swallowed.

This was Dou Eqing asking him to demonstrate the most cruel method of killing, in order to scare the other party and affect the enemy's combat effectiveness.

Although there are nine cultivators in this team, the highest level among them is only in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Any one of them alone is no match for the demon.

Therefore, Dou Eqing had to engage in psychological warfare with them.

"Damn it! You're going to die anyway, and you're trying to drag someone else down with you before you die. You deserve a miserable death! Kill him!"

The other team leader roared in frustration.

The war began.

Dou Eqing used the "Force to Split the Sky" technique over and over again but never succeeded.

Seeing that the enemy's attack was about to get close, he had to interrupt his sword technique and quickly perform the Dragon Step to dodge.

But the other party seemed to know him very well, and six people surrounded him.

The demons in the late stage of transformation of the spirit are restrained by three people.

It seems that Dou Eqing's psychological warfare did not have much effect and failed to lead most monks to the demon.

Although he has borrowed the power of Xuansheng Tianmo, due to the previous problems, he cannot exert the strength he had on Donglai Island, and can only reach the initial combat power of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

And two of his enemies are in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The six people entangled his Dragon Step, making it difficult for him to take advantage of his physical skills.

As time went on, the enemy's encirclement of him became tighter and tighter, and the space for performing the Dragon Step became smaller and smaller, so he could only face it head-on.

After a fierce fight, he was overwhelmed by the opponent's attacks.

Fortunately, the defensive power of the Xuanmo Holy Armor was so strong that Dou Eqing could give up dodging and defense and attack with all his strength.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the enemy gradually remembered that the purpose of this trip was only to capture Dou Eqing and not to really kill him.

Finally, he used his ultimate weapon, the Immortal Trapping Net.

When Dou Eqing saw the Immortal Trapping Net, he felt something was wrong.

"Kill me at all costs, and I will set you free after this battle!"

He shouted loudly to the demon in the late stage of transformation.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Immortal Trapping Net also pounced towards Dou Eqing.

He tried several times to break out of the Immortal Trapping Net, but was repelled by the enemy.

At this moment, Dou Eqing was like a trapped beast, squeezing every bit of strength in his body to find a chance to break out.

"Give me more power!"

He asked Xuansheng Tianmo for help.

"Your current body can't bear any more power, because I haven't found your Nascent Soul."

Xuansheng explained to Tianmo.

"It's okay, just transfer your power to me as soon as possible."

"I'm saying your body can't handle more power. I'm not saying your body won't be able to handle it if I pass it on to you. It's just that your bottle is only so big and can't hold more power. I can't pass it on to you right now."

Xuansheng Tianmo patiently explained again.

"Senior Tianmo, can you take action to deal with them?"

"I can't attack out of thin air; I need to borrow the body of a monster. But your battle has driven all the fifth-level monsters away from this place.

Don't worry, I don't think you'll die. My power supports the Xuanmo Holy Armor, and even a cultivator of the Void Realm may not be able to break through the defense."

Xuansheng Tianmo said with full confidence.

But he had been suppressed for too long, and some attacks had the effect of "hitting the cow from across the mountain", and did not need to break the defense of the Xuanmo Holy Armor to work on Dou Eqing.

Dou Eqing was also besieged and lost his composure, and did not think of this for a while.

Finally, he was trapped in the fairy net and wrapped tightly.

The demon in the late stage of transformation used all his strength to seriously injure an opponent, then broke out of the encirclement and teleported to Dou Eqing.

"you're free!"

Dou Eqing used all his strength and performed hand gestures to release the Demon Slave Seal for the demon.

"Oh!"

He gave a peach, and the devil reciprocated with courtesy.

The demon in the late stage of transformation directly exploded his own body to attack the six monks who controlled the Immortal Trapping Net.

The demon's actions were beyond Dou Eqing's expectations.

In fact, Dou Eqing didn't know that by unlocking the Demon Slave Seal, he truly gave the demon freedom.

These demons who invaded the Kunlun Realm originally had restraints similar to the Demon Slave Seal on their bodies.

Even if they died in battle in the Kunlun Realm, their reincarnated souls were bound to the original big world, and their identities were still fixed.

The Demon Slave Seal they planted on Dou Eqing was more advanced than the original restriction and would directly devour the original restriction.

Therefore, the demon who was planted with the Demon Slave Seal by Dou Eqing felt a little grateful to Dou Eqing after discovering the secret of the Demon Slave Seal.

Because they will die in the future, reincarnation will be a true rebirth.

Now, Dou Eqing has released the demon's slave seal and given him complete freedom.

Maybe he doesn't need to be reincarnated to be reborn. Even if his physical body explodes, he can still obtain a new body by taking over another body.

Moreover, the soul can practice without a physical body, and can also find rare treasures to condense the body, avoiding the disadvantages of possession.

The demon destroyed his own body without hesitation, just to repay Dou Eqing for his kindness of rebirth.

Unfortunately, his physical body exploded, and he only destroyed the physical bodies of four opponents, while the remaining two were also seriously injured.

However, Dou Eqing failed to escape from the Immortal Trapping Net, and the two monks who had previously besieged the demon rushed over.

The demon revealed his physical body as a way of repaying Dou Eqing's favor, so naturally he didn't want to stay here and die.

Dou Eqing was captured by the enemy in this way.

Because the demon's self-destruction caused them to suffer heavy losses, and the demon's soul finally escaped.

They had no choice but to vent their anger on Dou Eqing, punching and kicking him while he was trapped in the Immortal Net, using all kinds of torture methods.

However, with the Xuanmo Holy Armor, they were unable to cause any substantial harm to Dou Eqing.

So they found various ways to humiliate Dou Eqing.

Because minor skin injuries had no effect on Dou Eqing, the Xuanmo Holy Armor would not automatically resist low-level attacks. Sometimes Dou Eqing failed to activate the Xuanmo Holy Armor for defense in time, and the attack fell on him.

Let Dou Eqing feel what it means to be not too hurtful but extremely insulting.

Dou Eqing was trapped in the Immortal Trapping Net and had no way to deal with the other party. He could only remember this humiliation in his heart and return it when the time comes.

At the same time, he secretly asked Xuansheng Tianmo to find a way to rescue him.

After being humiliated by them for an hour, Dou Eqing was brought back to the Sanxiu Market, where he met the mysterious Master Pan.

There was also a female cultivator beside Pan Qing, whose beauty was like that of a fairy from the ninth heaven, so beautiful that it was beyond words.

This woman is Wu Juanliu.

Pan himself is a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance, and there seems to be nothing special about him.

Perhaps he intentionally concealed his aura, and he looked like an ordinary mortal.

If he and Wu Juanliu were to become a couple, it would be like a toad eating swan meat in the eyes of mortals.

"Did you call for help?"

Suddenly, a clear voice sounded in Dou Eqing's mind. Wu Juanliu secretly asked Dou Eqing about it.

"Just reply to me here."

Dou Eqing was about to reply by voice transmission when Wu Juanliu's voice rang out again.

She was obviously afraid that Dou Eqing's message would be discovered by others.

Wu Juanliu has the cultivation level of the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and is one of the most powerful among those present. She can transmit messages quietly, making it difficult for others to detect.

If Dou Eqing transmitted a message, it was possible that Pan Qing would intercept the message.

"I don't need anyone to save me. You can't do anything to me."

Dou Eqing didn't know the other party's true intentions, so he would definitely not reveal them easily.

"You have to believe me, I won't be better off if you die. I don't know if you have heard of me.

I am Chu Wu's fiancée, but my family was destroyed because of its close connection with the Chu family. Therefore, I have no ill will towards you for killing him.

Pan Qing comes from an eighth-tier faction. Although his strength is comparable to mine, he has a trump card in his hand that I cannot deal with..."

Wu Juanliu clearly told him the purpose of her communication with Dou Eqing.

Although Pan Qing is from the Demon-Controlling Sect, an eighth-level force, he is only a peripheral disciple and cannot help Wu Juanliu to seek revenge.

If her enemies came after her, they might not even be able to save her life.

Therefore, Wu Juanliu did not want to entrust herself to Pan Qing.

Of course, another part of the reason is that Pan Qing really looks too ordinary, and he did not catch Wu Juanliu's eye, so she had no feelings for him.

Now the only thing left in her agreement with Pan Qing was to kill Dou Eqing.

To fulfill this agreement, Wu Juanliu would have to become Pan Qing's woman.

Because she alone could not let Dou Eqing escape, she could only hope that Dou Eqing would call for reinforcements.

At that time, he and she could work together to let Dou Eqing escape.

Dou Eqing has been in Hulujin for a while now, and many monks are paying attention to him.

Various rumors about Dou Eqing were circulating in the market for casual cultivators.

These rumors add a mysterious air to Dou Eqing.

Without Chu Wu as a shield, Wu Juanliu had to get rid of Pan Qing's entanglement and find other ways out.

Dou Eqing was not afraid of the Chu family and killed Chu Wu. In the opinion of Wu Juanliu, who knew Chu Wu's background, his background must be complicated.

She wanted to use Dou Eqing to get rid of Pan Qing's entanglement and find another reliable backer.

Dou Eqing thought about it and felt that there was no need for Wu Juanliu to lie to him.

"Maybe she's my chance to escape, but I still need other help."

He thought so and lamented that no one would come to rescue him.

"It really is like when it rains it pours."

Dou Eqing didn't know how to tell Wu Juanliu.

"I heard that you are wearing an invincible turtle shell, and no attack will work on you. Let me try."

Pan Qing looked at Dou Eqing and did not notice the Xuanmo Holy Armor on him.

After he finished speaking, he grabbed a dagger in his backhand and stabbed Dou Eqing in the head before he could react.

Just as the dagger was about to touch Dou Eqing's head, suddenly a barrier appeared to block it.

The reaction was confirmed. Pan Qing threw the dagger away and said to his other men:
"Find an alchemist and use him to make pills."

Then he looked at Wu Juanliu without saying anything, but his meaning was expressed very clearly.

"Pick an auspicious day."

Wu Juanliu turned and left after saying this.

Her words not only showed that Pan Qing had fulfilled their agreement, but also bought time for herself.

The next auspicious day to report the Dual Cultivation Ceremony will be in a month.

Dou Eqing told Wu Juanliu that something would happen in half a month.

Over the next few days, the alchemist put Dou Eqing into the furnace and refined him over high heat, but he was unable to do anything to him.

Instead, it reminded him of the mythological story from his previous life, where Monkey King obtained the magical power of Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils in the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun.

He simply used the "Demon Devouring Heavenly Art" to refine the energy in the furnace for his own use and to repair the injuries in his body.

It would take more than a short time to escape from this predicament, so Dou Eqing began to explore the impact of the disappearance of the Nascent Soul.

He doesn't have a Nascent Soul now, so except for not being able to mobilize the spiritual power in his spiritual sea on a large scale, everything else is normal.

The spiritual consciousness has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and one can begin to comprehend the laws of this world and comprehend the power of the laws, which is the comprehension and cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The main meridians in his body were invisibly tempered during the last thunder tribulation, making it easier for him to cast fourth-level spells.

His physical body had been tempered by the thunder tribulation and had broken through to the middle stage of the fourth stage.

The spiritual power in his body was also tempered and became more refined, and the same spells would become more powerful.

After going through a thunder tribulation, his willpower had undergone a certain degree of transformation, and he vaguely felt that he had gained stronger control over his desires and inner demons.

It was the tenth day after he was captured. He had been refining in the alchemy furnace for nine days, but his physical condition was getting better and better.

Apart from the impact of not having a Nascent Soul, the improvement in combat power brought about by the breakthrough is significant.

Now who doesn’t have a Nascent Soul? I once thought of trying to let the Purple Mansion Golden Crow Nascent Soul come out to replace it.

However, the Golden Crow Yuanying has greater autonomy and cannot be mobilized to replace the main Yuanying.

Even without the Nascent Soul in his body, he estimated that his current combat power was one third higher than that of the peak Golden Core stage.

That day, Pan Qing came to see how Dou Eqing was being refined by the alchemist. A servant reported that a large number of magical beasts were gathering in the direction of the market for independent cultivators.

Some people speculated that the beast tide would attack the market of independent cultivators, and a large number of independent cultivators fled from here.

As the leader of the loose cultivator market, Pan Qing immediately sensed the crisis. He didn't care whether Dou Eqing was dead or alive at the moment, and immediately summoned his men to stop the loose cultivators from escaping from the loose cultivator market.

He immediately organized a powerful group of monks and launched a preemptive and fierce attack on the gathering monsters.

This powerful group of monks has a total of two hundred people, and there are more than fifty powerful people in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

They killed a large number of monsters along the way with great ease, temporarily blocking the beast tide in the canyon ten miles away from Sanxiufang.

This group of monks sent some monks back to the market with a large number of monster corpses, including more than twenty fifth-level monsters.

These more than twenty fifth-level monsters, each of which was extremely large, were displayed like a small mountain in the spacious square of the market town to calm people's fears.

Finally, Pan Qing stepped forward and offered a high price to purchase the corpse of the fifth-level monster.

Therefore, many independent cultivators contacted each other and formed teams to go to the canyon ten miles away to hunt monsters.

When the first group of independent cultivators who went to the canyon to hunt monsters returned to the independent cultivator market with a lot of harvest and traded a large amount of cultivation resources from Pan Qing, more independent cultivators were blinded by the immediate benefits.

A large number of wandering cultivators went to the canyon to hunt monsters. As soon as they arrived at the canyon, they saw a large number of monsters flying across the canyon and heading straight to the wandering cultivator market.

The number of monsters in the canyon also increased greatly.

Seeing this situation, many independent cultivators fled in all directions.

Finally, the market of independent cultivators was easily defeated by the beast tide, and Dou Eqing took the opportunity to break through the immortal trapping net in the alchemy furnace and escape.

He had been kept in the alchemy furnace. Later, the alchemist forgot about the Immortal-Trapping Net on him. After increasing the fire power, Dou Eqing was fine, but the Immortal-Trapping Net was destroyed by the fire.

When the Immortal Trapping Net was destroyed, its owner was resisting a tide of beasts in the canyon. His magic weapon was destroyed, leading to a battle error and his death, when he was eaten by a fifth-level monster.

The first thing Dou Eqing wanted to do when he came out was to kill the alchemist, but he thought that the other party was just following orders.

"Submit to me, and I will ensure that you survive this beast tide."

Seeing that the other party was about to attack him, he said with disdain.

Although this alchemist has reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, you are only at the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He cannot defeat the alchemist, but at least the other party cannot do anything to him.

And now that the beast tide is coming, he is the only one who can stand firm and remain safe and sound.

In Dou Eqing's opinion, it would be wise for the alchemist to join him.

However, Dou Eqing did not realize that the beast tide had not yet attacked here.

Because this is Pan Qing's secret base, located dozens of meters underground, no one told the alchemist that the beast tide was coming.

"What the hell is this beast tide? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You may not know yet, but the city of independent cultivators has been breached by the beast tide."

"Bullshit beast tide! There has never been a beast tide in the gourd. Besides, you've been locked up in the furnace the whole time. I haven't heard of a beast tide, so how do you know about it?"

"The beast tide was caused by me, how could I not know? If you follow me out, you will know what the situation is outside."

In the end, the alchemist did not fight with him, but followed him to the ground half-believing and half-doubting.

"Hoohoho!"

The roars of monsters and the screams of monks before their death could be heard from all directions.

The alchemist was completely shocked by the scene of the chaotic scene in the market of independent cultivators.

"What? Do you want to live or die? Do you think I'll send you to hell to meet the others just because you're a fifth-level alchemist?"

Just as the alchemist was about to agree to submit to Dou Eqing, Pan Qing flew over here with more than thirty Jindan cultivators.
