Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 159: Fighting Xiang Lu Lai Again

"It's a two-pronged approach."

As Dou Eqing spoke, he took out the corpse of a female cultivator from the Ziwei Immortal Mansion.

Perhaps it was because he had taken the corpses of eleven female cultivators into the Ziwei Immortal Mansion and soaked them in the Yangling Spring, so the body of this female cultivator looked like a living person.

It may also be because her cultivation was devoured and she died, but her body did not suffer any damage, and there is still a hint of life in this female cultivator's body.

"Huh? Not dead!"

"The body isn't dead, the person is."

Dou Eqing then expressed his guess.

There is a difference between the life and death of monks and mortals.

When a mortal dies, his soul is still alive, but without a physical body to carry it, he can only reincarnate, unless in special circumstances, his soul becomes a ghost.

Because of their cultivation, the soul and practice are closely related. If a cultivator's practice is abolished, it can easily lead to death. This death is similar to the death of the eleven female cultivators whose cultivation was devoured.

In this type of death, the body is very different from that of a mortal. For example, the corpse can be transformed into a creature such as a zombie.

The reason for this is that corpses still have activity and vitality that only living beings possess.

Therefore, the eleven female cultivators' bodies can all become the bodies for Long Ling's spiritual body to refine his clones.

"If I live in this person's place, you'll have one less enemy."

Long Ling suddenly had an idea and said excitedly.

Demon Emperor Yang Hu knew that Dou Eqing was in big trouble because his sister Mo Luo was hunting him down.

"It's more than just an enemy. This person is a disciple of a sixth-level force, and there are more than one person behind him. Alas!"

Dou Eqing felt very helpless when he thought of the other ten female cultivators who were related to him.

"It would be nice if we could revive the other ten as well."

Long Ling said casually.

"Got it! I saw a heavenly-level technique called "Corpse Substitute" in front of the technique hall. It can transform a cultivator's body into a substitute through corpse refining, similar to the technique of clone.

If you let your spiritual body practice this technique, and then combine it with the art of clones, you might be able to turn them all into one clone.

Isn't this resurrecting them? Quickly let your spirit body enter her soul sea and see if you can preserve some of the original owner's memories."

Dou Eqing said this, and finally urged Long Ling to take action, while he went to practice and comprehend the "Corpse Substitute".

The opportunity to comprehend the martial arts technique obtained from the Martial Arts Hall when I practiced the "Three Lives of Love" had not been used yet, and it came in handy this time.

When Long Ling refined his spiritual body into a clone step by step, Dou Eqing also mastered the "Corpse Substitute".

When he taught this technique to Long Ling's clone, he found that it only required the transmission of spiritual consciousness.

Long Ling's clone mastered the "Corpse Substitute" in just one hour, and according to Dou Eqing's idea, he prepared to refine the clone.

Dou Eqing thought about it and sorted out his thoughts, then he realized that part of his soul was also in Long Lingling's clone.

He couldn't figure out the specific reason for a moment.

Anyway, this seems to be a good thing now, so I just ignore it.

The clone mastered the technique and practiced very quickly. It took him several days to transform the other ten bodies into substitutes.

Since then, the eleven bodies seemed to come back to life, and also gained some of the memories of the original owners.

These memories are only the most superficial memories of the original owner's identity, and do not include any memories of cultivation or secrets.

This kind of shallow memory is the memory of the original owner's life imprinted in the soul sea, which is equivalent to instinctive memory.

Once you have completely mastered the physical body, it is time to formally practice.

These bodies now only have physical cultivation, and no Qi cultivation.

Fortunately, the level of "Corpse Substitute" is very high, it is already the best of heaven, and it is very fast to practice.

After all, these bodies are all the bodies of cultivators in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Although their original cultivation has been devoured, the bodies of the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm have also reached the fourth level.

With such a physical body and sufficient resource support, his Qi training recovered to the peak of the Golden Core stage in just one month.

He broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in the second month, but there was no Nascent Soul in his physical body.

Only at this time did Qian realize that using such an avatar to play the role of the original owner, the lack of a Nascent Soul was a major flaw.

Fortunately, for now, all Dou Eqing needs to do is reveal to the outside world that they are still alive, so as to temporarily avoid trouble from their relatives and friends and avoid being hunted down.

Now, as long as Long's clone can completely control the ten bodies, he can return to the market of casual cultivators and show his face.

This requires raising the spiritual consciousness of the clone.

Therefore, Dou Eqing gave all the treasures in the spoils that could enhance spiritual consciousness to Long Ling's clone at all costs.

As expected, two months later, Long Ling's clone could control the eleven substitutes with ease.

Dou Eqing returned to the surface and contacted Wu Juanliu:

"Are you OK?"

He had forgotten to ask about the situation of Yanghu Demon King Wu Juanliu before, and only remembered her when he contacted her.

"Are you okay? I saw Demon Emperor Yang Hu returning to the San Xiu Market!"

Wu Juanliu thought that Dou Eqing was in great danger this time and was very shocked when she received his contact.

"The matter with Demon Emperor Yang Hu and his sister has been dealt with, don't worry. I'm glad you're okay. Are there any other cultivators causing us trouble? I want to go back to the independent cultivator market."

Dou Eqing then concealed the fact that the other female cultivators had been resurrected, and planned to let them show their faces to clear up the misunderstanding.

As for the process and reason of the resurrection, nothing was said. It was only said that he got an opportunity while being chased by the Demon Emperor Yang Hu and saved them all.

Wu Juanliu didn't care about the secret of the eleven female repairers' survival, but she cared very much about Dou Eqing's escape from the hands of the Yanghu Demon Emperor.

She didn't know whether Demon Emperor Yang Hu had revealed his actions to Dou Eqing, but she felt guilty and wanted to compensate Dou Eqing.

Therefore, she did whatever Dou Eqing asked her to do and told Dou Eqing that she was in the market for casual cultivators.

Dou Eqing was preoccupied with other things and didn't care too much about how Wu Juanliu had escaped from the Demon Emperor Yang Hu.

He took Long Ling's clone with him and returned to the Sanxiu Market with the help of Wu Juanliu in the dark of night.

"It's easy to get them to show up, but there's still a problem to solve."

Dou Eqing and Wu Juanliu discussed in detail about having Mo Luo and the other eleven people show up, and everything else was arranged. However, Wu Juanliu finally involved the matter of Xiang Tun coming to find Dou Eqing.

"you sure?"

He couldn't believe it was such a coincidence that one of the eleven female cultivators was from Xiang Yu.

And she is not an ordinary person, but Xu Qianjiao, a female general of the Eastern Expedition Army.

"Xu Qianjiao had originally concealed her identity. It was only when Xiang Lu came to find her that I realized Xu Qianqian was actually Xu Qianjiao. She was originally stationed at the front lines of the Eastern Expedition Army. I don't know how she got here and landed in the Gourd Confinement, catching up with us while we were refining the Extreme Desire Pill."

Wu Juanliu told the whole story again.

Xiang Nonglai may not be as powerful as Demon Emperor Yang Hu, but the difference is too big, and Dou Eqing cannot deal with him with his current strength.

Moreover, he has the entire Eastern Expedition Army's independent cultivator market behind him, so it is not easy to intervene.

The two had no choice but to find a way to avoid contact with Xiang Luanlai. If they wanted to let the eleven female cultivators show up in the market for casual cultivators, they had to leave here first.

"Arrange someone to monitor him. If you find him distracted by trivial matters or leaving the San Xiu Market, you can take action immediately."

Dou Eqing didn't want to stay in the casual cultivator market for too long. Not only did he have to obtain the fifth-level merit, but if this matter was not resolved sooner, there would probably be more trouble.

He waited in the market for casual cultivators for three days and felt that the time was too long, so he had to ask Wu Juanliu to find someone to pass false information to Xiang Nonglai, so that Xiang Nonglai would leave temporarily.

So, half a day after Xiang Luanlai left, the eleven daughters of Meluo appeared at the auction and competed to bid for the same treasure.

In order to bid for this treasure, they all revealed their identities and threatened their rivals.

Dou Eqing deliberately arranged it this way to make their appearance known to everyone.

When Xiang Nonglai heard the news, he immediately rushed back to the market for independent cultivators, but Dou Eqing had left the market with his spiritual clone that night, and the other ten substitutes were taken into the Ziwei Immortal Mansion.

Dou Eqing originally intended for his spiritual clone to return to Ziwei Immortal Mansion, but the clone had self-awareness and wanted to stay outside longer.

But unfortunate things just happened to happen together.

The main body of the clone refined by Long Ling's spiritual body is Xu Qianjiao, a female general of the Eastern Expedition Army, who has a special military talisman on her body.

Dou Eqing had just left the Sanxiu Market three hundred miles away when he unexpectedly met Xiang Tunlai who was also rushing to the Sanxiu Market.

Fortunately, this unexpected encounter was not face to face, but the military talisman on Xiang Lulai and the military talisman on Xu Qianjiao resonated with each other.

So Xiang Cong came looking for the military order and chased after him.

Dou Eqing was chased for more than ten miles before he sensed that someone was chasing him.

His purpose in leaving the market for independent cultivators was to hunt down demon cultivators who had transformed into gods to obtain fifth-level merits. Now that someone dared to come up and die, he had no choice but to do as he wished.

But he never expected that he would meet the person he wanted to avoid like this.

"It's definitely impossible to escape now with my speed. Sooner or later, we'll have to fight. Now I'm ready to fight, how can I escape without a fight!"

Dou Eqing decided to fight Xiang Nong.

Ever since the last battle with Xiang Luan, Dou Eqing has been eager to become stronger. He has made some gains recently and his combat power has increased a lot, which has aroused his ambition to fight.

Even if he doesn't meet Xiang Dunlai now, he plans to take the initiative to fight Xiang Dunlai in the future.

The future battle would serve as a test of his combat power, but now he was using Xiang Yu to hone his own combat power. Only by fighting against the strong could one's strength be continuously improved, and being forced by a strong person like Xiang Yu could unleash one's combat potential.

"Senior Xiang, nice to meet you again. Let's not waste any more pleasantries and start a fight."

Dou Eqing said this as he raised the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword and launched a sneak attack.

He had made arrangements in advance, but when the words came out of his mouth, the voice sounded on the other side.

"Clang!"

The White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword chopped off the golden shield that protected the body, making a sound of metal colliding.

Xiang Nonglai was a top-grade metal spiritual root, and the metal spiritual power formed a golden light shield with extremely strong defense, making Dou Eqing's sneak attack in vain.

Dou Eqing didn't expect that Hua Bubai didn't join him in attacking Xiang Luan. No matter how he called out, there was no response.

This caused a big flaw in his previous arrangement, and he immediately fell into a passive position.

Xiang Lu came and wanted to ask where Xu Qianjiao was, but then he remembered that Dou Eqing wanted to fight him.

Therefore, as soon as Dou Eqing retreated, his attack caught up with him, and Xiang Dian's spear hit him directly in the face.

In a hurry, he had to use the handle of the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword to block the tip of the gun.

However, a huge force came from the tip of the gun, and the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword directly hit Dou Eqing, knocking him back a hundred meters.

Dou Eqing had no choice but to use the momentum of his backward legs to perform the Dragon Step, barely avoiding the spear that was following closely behind Xiang Tiao.

When Xiang Tiaolai attacked Dou Eqing again, Long Ling finally couldn't help but take action and pounced on Xiang Tiaolai.

She had been hiding in a huge black rock, ready to launch a sneak attack only after the battle lured Xiang Chun to the top of the black rock.

Long Ling has become one with his pet, the Wealth-Swallowing Spirit Cat. When attacking Xiang Tiaolai, he is now a nimble spirit beast. The pair of black and gold claws on his front limbs flash with cold light, striking directly at Xiang Tiaolai's lower body.

Even with Xiang Luanlai's strength, he was unable to dodge it. It was like a gust of wind, and it landed right under him as soon as it appeared.

Because the battle had already begun, the instantaneous defensive skill Golden Light Shield, which could only be used once a day, had already been used once. Xiang Yu was unable to maintain the Golden Light Shield's body protection skill all the time when fighting, and could only rely on his instinctive spiritual power to defend himself.

The spiritual power body defense was not as strong as the golden light shield and was easily broken.

Xiang Lulai had a very strong fighting instinct. He quickly dodged the attack of the Money-Devouring Cat's claws by half a rotation of his body.

With a "swish", the left leg of his trousers was cut open.

Although the attack hit him, it did not cause much damage to him, only breaking the skin of his calf.

And at the moment he dodged, he kicked the money-eating cat, a combination of man and beast, with his right leg.

Long Ling wanted to dodge the attack, but the Money-Swallowing Spirit Cat opened its mouth wide to meet Xiang Nong's kick.

The Money-Swallowing Cat had a good pair of teeth. It immediately bit Xiang Tunlai's kick and held on to it. Then its body shrank until it was not much bigger than Xiang Tunlai's foot.

Although the Money-Devouring Cat did not bite Xiang Tiaolai's foot, he felt endless pain in his foot.

At the same time, Xiang Luanlai's foot was just like wearing a large shoe, but it made him feel like there was a heavy weight tied to his foot.

If both feet were like this, it would be nothing compared to a strong man like Xiang Lulai.

But now one foot was heavy and the other was light, and when he wanted to chase Dou Eqing, there was a pulling force that prevented Xiang Dun from using his right foot.

This greatly affected his movements, making Dou Eqing's advantage in the Dragon Step even more obvious.

Xiang Luanlai had no choice but to switch from offense to defense, waiting for Dou Eqing's attack to come and retreat before looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

There is indeed a big gap between Dou Eqing and Xiang Tiaolai. No matter how hard he tries, it is difficult to break through Xiang Tiaolai's golden light shield defense.

And under Xiang Dianlai's counterattack, Dou Eqing was always knocked away.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to avoid Xiang Xun’s counterattack.

On the one hand, Xiang Conglai's spear attacks were fast, accurate and fierce;
Another thing is that when he takes the initiative to attack, dodging during retreat will always be half a beat slower than attacking, and Dou Eqing is confident in the defense of the Xuanmo Holy Armor.

Perhaps because there was a risk of injury, Dou Eqing would be more cautious.

At the same time, Dou Eqing regarded Xiang Dianlai's attack as a tempering of himself.

Since it was just a temporary pain and there was no risk of injury, he chose to endure the pain and gain more skills.

Every time he knocked Dou Eqing away, Xiang Nong would use his spear to poke the money-eating cat that was biting his feet.

When the Money-Swallowing Cat is in its shrunken state, it not only has amazing defense, but can also directly swallow up most of the attacks.

As long as the attack cannot directly break through its defense, it will not cause any substantial damage to the Money-Devouring Cat.

Therefore, when Xiang Nong attacked the Money-Devouring Spirit Cat, it was just like Dou Eqing attacked him, and he could only fight with consumption.

Anyway, the Money-Devouring Cat can only cause pain to Xiang Nong, but cannot cause any substantial harm.

The battle remained at a stalemate, but with the Wealth-Swallowing Spirit Cat and Long Ling being dragged there, Dou Eqing's side lost the initiative.

Dou Eqing could only urge Hua Bubai to take action, believing that with its strength, it could deal with the Demon Emperor Yang Hu. Even if it was a special situation at the time, its combat power would surely not be worse than his.

In his heart, he didn't believe that Hua Bubai had defeated the Demon Emperor Yang Hu. It was very likely that when the Jimo Demon Realm had just merged with Hua Bubai, it was able to unleash an unmatched fighting power and suppress and swallow the Demon Emperor Yang Hu.

Now, Jimo Demon Realm has completely merged with Hua Bubai, and the initial combat power has also been consumed. I guess Hua Bubai can only fight with his own strength.

Dou Eqing was sure that he could not control Hua Bubai. After careful investigation, he found that Hua Bubai was in a strange state, so he could not use the slave control technique to command her.

At this time, he thought of Ziwei Immortal Mansion and the spiritual clones of Chu Yu and Long Ling, and felt that there was strength in numbers and there were many ways to solve the problem.

Although Chu Yu was in trouble, Dou Eqing just wanted to try his luck.

However, when the divine sense probed into the Ziwei Immortal Mansion, Chu Yu could not be found.

When he turned his attention back from Ziwei Immortal Mansion to look at Hua Bubai, he saw her face change into Xiao Yuxin's, and then into Chu Yu's.

"you……"

Dou Eqing didn't know what to say.

I finally understand what’s wrong with Hua Bubai’s current situation.

Now that we know the problem, we can find a solution by simply treating the symptoms.

"It's obvious that Chu Yu was fused in a similar way to the Demon Emperor Yang Hu. He simply swallowed it, but Hua Bubai couldn't completely fuse it."

Dou Eqing thought so.

"Let's each take a step back, stop integrating, and live our own lives, okay?"

While fighting with Xiang Luanlai, he also persuaded Hua Bubai.

However, no matter how he persuaded, Hua Bubai still did not respond.

This is because the dominance of the body is in different directions, making it impossible to speak.

Seeing this, Dou Eqing turned his attention to splitting his spiritual body into two parts.

"Why not kill two birds with one stone?"

He suddenly seemed to have thought of a good idea and his face was full of excitement.

The clever plan was to have Xiang Tun kill the other ten substitutes of his spiritual body and put the blame on the other party.

However, when he extended his spiritual sense outside, there was no one watching the fight.

The audience is the key to the clever plan of shifting the blame. Without this link, the effect will be greatly reduced.

So, he could only turn his attention back to Hua Bubai, and the clever plan could only be used later.

"Since we can't each take a step back, let's each take a step forward."

Dou Eqing suddenly had an idea.

"Swallow him. Whoever swallows more is stronger. Isn't that the boss?"

Dou Eqing pointed at Xiang Dian and tried to persuade Hua Bubai earnestly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Bubai turned into a ball of black mist and floated over, immediately wrapping up Xiang Nonglai.

"What the hell! You're colluding with monsters, you're a traitor to humanity!"

Xiang Tunlai was wrapped in black fog. He felt that he was gradually losing control of his body and screamed in horror.

The black fog swallowed Xiang Tun and wrapped up Long Ling at the same time.

At this moment, Long Ling and her spirit pet were united as one, and the black fog's devouring ability could not do anything to her.

Seeing that Dou Eqing had a way to deal with Xiang Tiaolai, she was afraid that she would be swallowed by the black fog, so she immediately ordered the money-swallowing cat to stop biting Xiang Tiaolai's feet and escape from the black fog.

Perhaps inspired by Long Ling, or perhaps the crisis of life and death brought about an explosion of potential, Xiang Nonglai also released his mount and immediately performed the unity of man and beast.

Before Dou Eqing could be happy, a Pegasus flew out from the black fog.

This Pegasus has the blood of a true dragon. The single horn between its eyebrows actually looks like a dragon horn and is golden in color.

This Pegasus is Xiang Lulai’s mount, the golden-horned dragon horse, a variant of the unicorn and a very valuable mount.

However, at this time, Xiang Nonglai and the golden-horned dragon horse were in a state of unity between man and beast, and Xiang Nonglai's upper body was still growing on the horse's back.

"Boy, I'll remember you. Let's fight to the death!"

Xiang Nianlai turned around and pointed his spear at Dou Eqing, leaving these words behind. The golden-horned dragon horse flapped its wings and flew away.

The black fog wanted to catch up, but just when it reached halfway in the air, a person suddenly emerged from it.
