Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 164: Taking Advantage of the Fire

The person who spoke in rebuttal was Dou Eqing in disguise.

He was not wrong. The Four Sacred Swords were indeed stored in the storage ring by the purple-robed monk.

Dou Eqing continued:
"Hand over the sword and I'll spare your life!"

"You can't possibly steal the sword!"

The purple-robed monk consciously retorted that this statement was tantamount to admitting his guilt.

Wang Laowu, who wanted the Four Sacred Swords the most, stood in front of the purple-robed monk.

"Hand over the Four Sacred Swords!"

"I said that kid took it away."

"Many people have died. I don't want to fight anymore, but I must obtain the Four Sacred Swords."

As Wang Lao Wu spoke, he took out a self-examination talisman. The meaning was very clear. If the purple-robed monk had not taken it, he could solve the problem by simply asking a question with the self-examination talisman.

The Heart-Searching Talisman can make the monk speak only the truth.

There are secret methods to avoid the questioning talisman, and lying will also bring about the impact of guilty conscience, so ordinary cultivators have no choice but to tell the truth.

"I can give you the sword, but I want your sixth-order spirit gathering array."

The purple-robed monk knew he couldn't deny it, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

Of course, he started out asking for a high price just to bargain.

It is rumored that Wang Laowu has a natural sixth-level array plate in his hand. After years of rituals and refinement by him, this array plate has the function of gathering spirits.

Use this sixth-order array plate to simply set up a spirit gathering array on the fifth-order spirit vein. The spirit gathering effect is equivalent to that of a sixth-order spirit gathering array, which can allow a Jindan cultivator to break through to the Lianxu realm.

For a casual cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm, the massive amount of spiritual energy required to break through the Void Refinement Realm is also a difficult condition to achieve.

The special formation plate in Wang Laowu's hand is the treasure that makes all the casual cultivators salivate.

Wang Lao Wu also agreed to let many famous independent cultivators use it in order to preserve this sixth-level formation disk.

In fact, some people present wanted to snatch the Four Sacred Swords just to trade the right to use the sixth-level formation disk from Wang Lao.

But outsiders don't know that the spirit gathering function of the sixth-level array disk is also limited. It takes a hundred years for a Jindan cultivator to break through to the realm of refining emptiness and gathering spirits.

If used frequently, the spirit gathering effect will be greatly reduced, and it will not be able to provide enough spiritual energy for the cultivator to break through to the realm of refining emptiness.

Moreover, the rumor that one can just randomly arrange the giant spirit formation is not true. Instead, Wang Laowu must arrange the formation based on the formation plate.

Therefore, Wang Lao Wu and the monks who had the right to use this formation understood the secret.

The purple-robed cultivator himself was not in a hurry to use the sixth-order formation disk to break through his cultivation, but he knew a strong man who was about to break through to the realm of refining emptiness, and wanted to borrow the sixth-order formation disk to please the other party.

In this case, he must have asked for the right to use the sixth-level formation disk more than once, which is why he asked for such a high price.

"Can……"

Wang Lao Wu really didn't want to fight anymore and wanted to agree to let the purple-robed monk have a chance to use the sixth-level formation disk.

"Whoever sees the Four Sacred Swords gets one, but ownership hasn't been determined yet!"

The other monks who had the same idea naturally disagreed. They immediately interrupted him and attacked the purple-robed monk.

The battle started again, and Dou Eqing immediately dodged to the side.

As a result, the battle with only nine people left became more intense than before.

The purple-robed monk was surrounded and had no power to resist. It looked like he was about to die. He waited for Dou Eqing to take his life, but his body was destroyed by several people who snatched his storage ring at the same time. He didn't get a chance before Dou Eqing could make a move.

However, the purple-robed monk's soul escaped, and Dou Eqing immediately chased after him.

"I was blind. It turns out that boy was you."

When the purple-robed monk's soul saw Dou Eqing chasing him, he found that Dou Eqing's cultivation was not at the level of Spirit Transformation, and finally recognized that he was Dou Eqing.

So he didn't run away, and his soul rushed directly into Dou Eqing's eyebrows, wanting to take over Dou Eqing's body.

Dou E had prepared early in the morning and used his spiritual sense to weave a net.

Therefore, the purple-robed monk's soul did not disappear when it came to his sea of ​​consciousness, but appeared in his controllable sea of ​​consciousness.

However, the web formed by his spiritual consciousness was broken.

"Boy, be devoured by me and let me live for you. Otherwise, if you are captured by me, I will make you wish you were dead."

The purple-robed monk's soul said arrogantly.

The success rate of a cultivator taking over another's body or a Nascent Soul taking over a Golden Core's body is not high, but if the Soul takes over a cultivator whose cultivation level is lower than the cultivator's own, the success rate can be greatly improved.

Even if the spiritual root attributes of the cultivator whose body is possessed are different, the incarnated cultivator can still reshape the body after taking over the body.

This is also the reason why the purple-robed monk's soul is arrogant.

Dou Eqing didn't waste time talking to the other party. He used his spiritual consciousness to activate the "Demon Devouring Heavenly Art", and a spiritual consciousness storm immediately formed in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The purple-robed monk was swept away by the spiritual storm before he could even react. His soul was quickly torn into pieces and swallowed up by the spiritual storm, becoming nutrition for Dou Eqing's sea of ​​consciousness and improving his spiritual cultivation.

Dou Eqing withdrew from the sea of ​​consciousness, and the situation of the competition for the Four Sacred Swords changed again. Two monks were injured and eliminated, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of the purple-robed monk.

It's just that one of them was more seriously injured and the other was less seriously injured.

The sword cultivator in the late stage of the Jindan stage who was less seriously injured was not only stronger, but also had some old grudges with the cultivator who was more seriously injured.

The seriously injured monk was a physical cultivator who was good at boxing.

When the two men were away from the melee, they started fighting each other again.

Their fighters were getting further and further away from the melee, and the injuries on both of them were getting more and more serious. Dou Eqing came out at the right time to reap the fifth-level merit.

"As the saying goes, it's easier to resolve a feud than to create one. How about I act as a peacemaker and let's just call it a day?"

Dou Eqing said hypocritically.

"It's not impossible to spare his life. All he needs is to hand over a wisp of his soul and become my slave from now on."

The swordsman said as he intensified his attack.

"My fellow Daoist, I know of a cave left behind by a senior master. There is the inheritance of this fusion master. If you can save my life, I will give you this opportunity."

Ti Xiu regarded Dou Eqing as his lifeline.

"Humph, you lie without thinking. I even know of an immortal cave."

The sword cultivators were afraid that Dou Eqing would really help the body cultivators, so their attacks became even more fierce.

The body cultivator quickly sent a message to Dou Eqing to prove that everything he said was true.

"Okay! It's a deal. You lead him to me so I can launch a surprise attack."

Dou Eqing replied to Ti Xiu through telepathy, not taking the senior's cave residence mentioned by the other party to heart at all.

When the physical cultivator led the sword cultivator to the vicinity of Dou Eqing, Dou Eqing transmitted a message to the physical cultivator.

"We'll kill him in one blow. Now it's time for you to fight to the death. I'll feint and distract him, and you'll take the opportunity to get close and hug him. Then I'll chop off his head with one blow."

The physical cultivator might really not be able to hold on for too long, so he did as Dou Eqing said.

However, Dou Eqing chose to kill both with one blow, cutting the bodies of the physical cultivator and the sword cultivator into two halves.

Because he had been accumulating power for this sword for a long time, its power should not be underestimated.

In addition, Dou Eqing used the speed of the Fengliu Zhouli rule, and this attack made it impossible for the opponent to avoid it.

Unfortunately, the physical cultivators had inherited the legacy of the combined cultivators, and he didn't understand why Dou Eqing was not tempted.

In fact, it was not that Dou Eqing was not tempted, but that Dou Eqing did not listen to Ti Xiu's words at all.

He was also thinking of harvesting these two fifth-level merits and then going back to harvest the other people.

As Dou Eqing expected, when he returned after cleaning up the battlefield, another monk's life was hanging by a thread.

The monk exposed one of his legs and used his last burst of strength to escape from the melee, thus buying himself a chance of survival.

As the saying goes, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. He stepped forward without hesitation and killed the other person.

So, just as this person escaped from the tiger's mouth, he ran into the blade of the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword!
The man leaped forward, and Dou Eqing chopped his head into two pieces with one sword.

This man died with his eyes open. Just when he thought he had saved his life, Dou Eqing suddenly appeared.

As a result, there were only five people involved in the melee.

One of the old Taoist priests in green robes finally gained self-awareness after fighting for so long.

He knew that the Four Sacred Swords had no chance with him, and he just happened to see Dou Eqing killing someone.

Dou Eqing had always killed people but never collected any spoils.

Then, the green-robed Taoist priest also left the melee and flew towards Dou Eqing.

Dou Eqing did not understand the meaning of this and thought that the other party and the person he killed were relatives or friends, so he subconsciously used the "one-knife kill" move on the green-robed monk.

The old Taoist priest in green robe was careless, and his fighting power had been greatly damaged in the melee, and he was also seriously injured, so he hurriedly raised his hand to resist.

The result was that Dou Eqing's attack actually cut off the green-robed Taoist's hand holding the whisk.

Dou Eqing decided to go all out and intensified his attack on the green-robed Taoist priest.

He swung the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword with great force, not giving the green-robed Taoist a chance to relax.

Dou Eqing used his improved Dragon Step to make the green-robed Taoist feel that his attacks were coming from all directions at the same time.

The green-robed Taoist priest's means of attack was the handle of his whisk. His right hand holding the whisk was cut off, and now he could only defend himself and had no power to fight back.

Then, it was only a matter of time before he was killed by Dou Eqing.

He had to find another way out.

"My friend, you and I have no grudges against each other, why do you want to kill me?"

"It was you who tried to attack me just now, so I had to attack you. Now you realize that I'm not weaker than you, and you know that I'm not someone you can easily mess with. It's too late to beg for mercy now."

Dou Eqing said with great righteousness.

His acting ability now is comparable to that of an actor, as if what he says is the truth.

"Help! A devil has appeared here. Come and save me, or you will also die under his knife."

The old Taoist priest in green robe had no choice but to swallow his pride and ask for help from the people in the melee.

His shout not only attracted the attention of the other four people, but also revealed the fate of the Four Sacred Swords. Wang Laowu grabbed the Four Sacred Swords.

Dou Eqing had no choice but to release Hua Bubai and quickly deal with the green-robed Taoist priest.

When Wang Laowu and the other three hesitated whether to rescue the green-robed Taoist priest, Dou Eqing had Hua Bubai trap the green-robed Taoist priest for a moment, and then he took out his thunder gun and fired a fifth-level demon-killing thunder bead. "Bang!"

The green-robed Taoist's physical body was blown up by the Demon-Slaying Thunder Bead, and his soul, which had just escaped, was caught by Hua Bubai's outstretched vines.

Hua Bubai put the soul of the green-robed Taoist into his mouth and ate it without any hesitation. Dou Eqing quickly attacked with his spiritual consciousness and killed the green-robed Taoist.

Hua Bubai gave Dou Eqing a puzzled look and continued to devour the lifeless soul.

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you going too far?"

Wang Laowu seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Dou Eqing.

It was indeed inappropriate for Hua Bubai to devour the soul of the green-robed Taoist master in public, but Dou Eqing was so focused on his fifth-level merit that he didn't think about it.

Ever since Hua Bubai merged with the Jimo Demon Realm, his humanity has decreased and his demonic nature has increased.

Fortunately, he did not devour the corpse, otherwise it would look even more incongruous.

"She is a transformed Piranha plant, and her fundamental nature has not yet been fully corrected."

Dou Eqing explained casually.

Wang Laowu looked at the other three people and was about to say something, but Dou Eqing spoke first.

"We all fought for Master Wang to seize the Four Sacred Swords, wasn't it just to borrow the Formation Disk from Six? Heaven and earth know this, you know this, and I know this. How about we unite and seize the Formation Disk?"

Dou Eqing knew that Wang Laowu wanted to shift the blame to someone else, so he simply shifted the blame to him himself.

Wang Lao Wu really wanted to say that whoever killed Dou Eqing would be able to obtain the right to use the sixth-level formation disk.

Because he knew that the other three would not be willing to work in vain, and might even unite to ask him to give each of them a chance to use the sixth-level formation disk.

When he snatched the Four Sacred Swords, he also thought of a solution, which was to let the three people snatch the swords again.

But he wasn't sure if this approach would work.

On the other hand, it seems easier to ask them to kill Dou Eqing to obtain the right to use it.

However, he never expected that Dou Eqing had tricked him first.

"Don't believe what this guy says. I suspect that our previous fight to the death was all caused by this guy."

Wang Laowu quickly persuaded the other three.

"Old Wang, if you promise to let each of us three use the formation disk once, the Four Sacred Swords will be yours."

"Right, right, right! So many people died and you can't be the only one to benefit!"

"I think that makes sense."

The other three glanced at Dou Eqing and ignored him.

Their thoughts are still on the right to use the sixth-level array disk.

"Alright! Once you kill that guy, everyone will have the right to use it once."

Wang Laowu said with gritted teeth.

"Master Wang, you are courting your own destruction!"

Dou Eqing responded sharply.

"Old Huang, I think that guy is a little weird. We should not provoke him. He might be the one behind this fight, but the four of us haven't suffered much loss. Less trouble is worse than more."

One of the talisman masters saw that Dou Eqing showed no fear towards the four people, and worried that Dou Eqing did have someone to rely on, so he persuaded Wang Laowu.

"Master Wang, your goal is the Four Sacred Swords, so why stir up trouble?"

"Fellow Daoist, you can go now. There are no more bodies for you to pick up."

The other two people, one persuaded Wang Laowu, and the other persuaded Dou Eqing.

The monk Dou Eqing showed off his weapons, implying that one should not refuse a toast only to be punished.

This monk wields two swords, and it is difficult to tell whether he is a man or a woman. One of his swords appears very gentle and fair.

This person made Dou Eqing want to kill him for no reason.

Dou Eqing estimated the strength of his side and wondered whether he should fight with the four of them.

He and Hua Bubai can only deal with two opponents. Long Ling and Xiao Yuxin definitely cannot deal with one person alone.

After all, the remaining four people are at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and they have both strength and trump cards.

"Can you try to sow discord again?"

He asked himself.

"Master Wang, your array disk has usage restrictions! How about reducing the number of available slots?"

Dou Eqing somehow conveyed the message to Wang Laowu.

"Boy, I know you have bad intentions. Be careful, you'll eat yourself to death if you're so greedy!"

Wang Lao Wu spoke directly and then repeated what Dou Eqing had said in the voice transmission.

"kill!"

The monk with two swords rushed towards Dou Eqing immediately.

Dou Eqing turned around and fled.

Since the strategy of sowing discord fails, we can resort to military tactics. At worst, we can defeat them one by one.

"The Twin Blades Ghost wants to avenge the Green Robe Ghost. It seems that he will no longer be using the Sixth Order Formation Plate. Master Wang, there are only two of us now. Is that okay with you this time?"

The talisman master said to Wang Laowu.

The double-sword ghost he mentioned was the cultivator who used double swords to chase Dou Eqing.

The green-robed Taoist priest is the green-robed old ghost he mentioned.

The Twin-Knife Ghost and the Green-Robed Old Ghost were originally brothers, but later became enemies.

However, when a person dies, his debts are settled. However, after the death of the Green Robe Taoist, the Double-Knife Ghost remembered the kindness of his former fellow apprentices.

Therefore, the Double-Knife Ghost hid his murderous intentions towards Dou Eqing, but in the end he could no longer hide it.

Dou Eqing led the double-sword ghost to flee for nearly ten miles before stopping.

"Boy, why don't you run away? It's too late to beg for mercy!"

As the Double-Knife Ghost spoke, he danced with his two swords, unleashing the Yin-Yang Sword Technique, and a whirlwind rose from the ground around him.

"opinionated!"

Dou Eqing rushed forward with the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, taking the Dragon Step, and ignored the momentum brought by the Double-Sword Ghost's superb swordsmanship.

The double-blade ghost's pair of blood-red swords flashed with terrifying murderous aura, and his attacks came with incredible speed.

The two figures intersected like two lightning bolts. The White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword in Dou Eqing's hand turned into a tiger roar and rushed towards the Double-Sword Ghost with unparalleled power.

The double-blade ghost was well prepared. The two sharp blades danced like snakes, colliding violently with it, sending out a whistling wind.

Dou Eqing's "One-Sword Cut" was performed effortlessly and with superb skill. Every blow was extremely accurate, just like a sword cultivator who had mastered the way of swordsmanship.

The Dragon Step makes his body extremely agile, and every movement is like a dragon riding the wind, like a hurricane and rainstorm, unstoppable.

He was decisive and each strike of his sword was as swift as the last, fierce and brutal. His lightning-fast and decisive fighting style made the Double-Knife Ghost understand that Dou Eqing was not someone whose strength could be judged by his cultivation level.

Dou Eqing went from passively responding to attacks to actively taking action, firmly grasping the initiative.

The double-blade ghost tried his best, using all his skills, stabbing at Dou Eqing with his sword, trying to bypass his attack, but he was still unable to escape Dou Eqing's suppression.

Dou Eqing's sword strike was so swift and unpredictable as lightning, and his sword technique locked onto the double-knife ghost, not giving him a chance to breathe.

The two men clashed sword to sword, and the whole situation was extremely tense and fierce. The air around them seemed to be frozen, and the tense atmosphere made people feel creepy.

On the hillside not far away, Huang Magua was staring at this place intently.

"Luckily I didn't attack this guy. This is his true strength! He's simply playing the pig to eat the tiger!"

He remembered that after Dou Eqing saved him with the invisibility cloak, he saw that Dou Eqing was only at the Nascent Soul stage and wanted to rob Dou Eqing.

After all, he believed that Dou Eqing had recently come to clean up the battlefield, and his gains were definitely not even as great as one of the Four Sacred Swords.

While Huang Mugua was reflecting, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly.

The swords of Dou Eqing and Shuang Daoqing intertwined, and blood was drawn on every strike. Dou Eqing had to kill the other party for his fifth-level merit. Shuang Daogui wanted to avenge the green-robed Taoist priest. The friendship between their former brothers emerged in his mind during the battle, forcing Shuang Daogui to kill Dou Eqing.

Their battle is hard for outsiders to imagine; they are simply mortal enemies.

Suddenly, the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword in Dou Eqing's hand emitted a dazzling light, and the blade was as crystal clear as a mirror.

A ray of extremely fast sword energy shot out from the blade, instantly cutting through the double-blade ghost's eyes, causing the double-blade ghost to subconsciously close his eyes. Then the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword swept across the double-blade ghost.

The double-blade ghost screamed as his body was cut in half.

His upper body was still falling when Dou Eqing used his long-lost "Rainbow Piercing the Sun" move to pierce the chest of the Double-Knife Ghost.

Since then, Dou Eqing successfully defeated the Double-Sword Ghost with his superb swordsmanship and quick fighting style.

His figure was as sharp as the wind, like a whirlwind passing by, erratic and making it difficult for his opponents to figure it out.

His attacks were swift and his swordsmanship seemed to have improved. This battle made him feel very refreshed.

The strategy of quick victory shocked the Mute Gua who were watching the battle.

It was a battle that brought the Muggle Melons to their knees.

"He will definitely have a place in the Demonic Path in the future!"

These words floated through Huang Muggle's mind.

"Shouldn't I have embraced him earlier?"

He couldn't help but murmur.

When Dou Eqing killed the Dual-Sword Demon Slayer and was about to collect the spoils, he rushed towards Lao Wu and the other two.

Wang Lao Wu just remembered that he had lent a treasure to the Double-Knife Ghost, and they later discovered that the Double-Knife Ghost was losing.

Naturally, he didn't want the treasure to fall into Dou Eqing's pocket.

It's just that the battle ended too quickly.

When the three of them came over, they saw Dou Eqing taking the storage ring of the Double-Blade Ghost.
