Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 199 A Fire in the Backyard (Happy New Year)

Just as Jin Qianxin gave herself body and soul to Dou Eqing, the Lingmei Demon appeared.

Dou Eqing himself is a pure Yang Taoist body, and can be considered the nemesis of Lingmei Demon.

But this also requires his Yuan Yang and Dantian to work together, that is, to induce fire in Dantian.

The fire in the Dantian can only restrict the Lingmei Demon. Dou Eqing needs to turn the fire in the Dantian into real pure yang fire to burn the Lingmei Demon to death.

Therefore, Dou Eqing needs to use the gathering of Yin to transform into Yang, the Yin and Yang fire, to transform the Dan fire into pure Yang fire, also called pure Yang true fire.

However, now he possesses the Fire Dragon Diamond, a true Dragon Fire weapon.

The Dragon Fire True Artifact can ignite pure yang essence.

Therefore, if things go wrong, the Pure Yang Fire might burn inside Jin Qianxin's body.

It was obviously a threat to the Lingmei Demon that caused it to explode in the first place.

When the Lingmei Demon erupted, Jin Qianxin seemed to become another person and attacked Dou Eqing directly.

At this moment, Jin Qianxin is indeed no longer herself, but Lingmei Demon has replaced Jin Qianxin and has completely taken control of her body.

At the critical moment, the Xuanmo Holy Armor once again saved Dou Eqing's life.

Otherwise, at this most ecstatic and relaxing moment, he would be defenseless and would lose his life.

After all, when not fighting, he was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, while Jin Qianxin was at least a late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, and the difference in their cultivation levels was a whole realm apart.

In this situation, killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant for Jin Qianxin.

"Senior Tianmo, lend me your strength."

Dou Eqing just reacted and quickly asked Xuansheng Tianmo for help.

Xuansheng Tianmo used the demon slave contract with Dou Eqing to investigate Dou Eqing, and he could see the scene here clearly.

"Oh, what is this thing? It looks like a Lingmei Demon. It's a good thing. And, what's your situation now? You're actually involved in a big karma with it. There's a play!"

Xuansheng Tianmo seemed to have made a great discovery.

"Senior Tianmo, have you taught me?"

"Subduing her is a real treat!"

"How do you surrender?"

"Don't you have the Fire Dragon Drill? It's a true Fire Dragon weapon, the perfect weapon to subdue it. Just go for it!"

Xuansheng Tianmo paused after instigating it, and then said:
“The last step is to make flower fertilizer.”

When he mentioned flower fertilizer, Dou Eqing thought of the Jade Buddha Peony flower.

So, Dou Eqing embarked on a strange journey of conquest.

It was as if a fire was ignited in Jin Qianxin's body by accident. Lingmei Mo resisted for a while, but found it was useless, so he had to beg for mercy from Dou Eqing through telepathy.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Lingmei Demon is eliminated, it will not beg humans for survival.

However, due to various factors, Lingmei Demon seemed to have awakened the human spirit and acted according to human nature.

This is because Lingmei Demon did not replace Jin Qianxin completely enough. Instead of taking over her body, she devoured Jin Qianxin, or merged with her.

But Jin Qianxin was not like other hosts parasitized by the Lingmei Demon. She knew she was parasitized long ago.

Therefore, Lingmei Mo merged with Jin Qianxin, and at the same time, Jin Qianxin merged with Lingmei Mo, causing the two to influence each other.

After hearing Lingmei Demon's plea for mercy, Dou Eqing knew very well that he could not destroy Lingmei Demon now.

The pure Yang fire in Jin Qianxin's body could not burn for too long, and it could not even seriously injure the Lingmei demon.

From this, he thought of the last words that Xuansheng Tianmo said.

So he brought Jin Qianxin to the Jade Buddha Peony Flower.

Dou Eqing said nothing and was still thinking about how to use Lingmei Demon as fertilizer for the flowers. Suddenly, a ghost floated out of Jin Qianxin's body and flew directly into the jade bottle in the hands of the Jade Buddha Peony Flower statue.

After the ghost left his body, Jin Qianxin was left as a walking corpse, without any consciousness left.

However, Dou Eqing still carefully probed his spiritual sense into Jin Qianxin's body.

Just as he was checking Jin Qianxin's body, the Jade Buddha Peony Flower suddenly shone with holy light, encompassing Dou Eqing and Zuo Yu.

Dou Eqing was confused by the sudden appearance of holy light, but Zuo Yu pounced on him.

As a result, his brain short-circuited and he became even more confused. He reluctantly borrowed the holy light and started practicing dual cultivation with Zuo Yu.

The holy light did not last long, only two hours.

But in just half an hour, Zuo Yu was completely absorbed by him.

Perhaps the Jade Buddha Peony Flower merged with the Spirit Plum Demon and something strange happened.

In just half an hour, Dou Eqing's cultivation level reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but Zuo Yu passed away, and even Jin Qianxin's physical body disappeared.

Obviously, the Jade Buddha Peony Flower also used a special form of nourishment on Zuo Yu, and also devoured and merged Jin Qianxin's body.

Dou Eqing was really not happy with such a result.

Although his cultivation has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he cannot immediately break through to the Spirit Transformation stage. He needs to continue to settle down for a period of time.

Zuo Yu was originally going to use the "Breakthrough Pill" to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage, but now that he had used it, its effect was greatly reduced. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the loss outweighed the gain.

In addition, the incident happened suddenly, and Dou Eqing did intend to take Zuo Yu's essence, so he didn't care even if the other party lost his life as a result.

But now it seemed like something that happened passively, and he felt mixed emotions. His mind could not help but recall the scenes of Zuo Yu becoming a demon slave.

She was like a docile lamb.

Dou Eqing looked at his own future from Zuo Yu's fate, wondering when he might become the nourishment for someone else's path.

As the saying goes, when a rabbit dies, the fox mourns, and all creatures feel sorry for their own kind.

This incident made Dou Eqing eager to practice Taoism and become an immortal.

Only immortals may be able to compete with the Tao, compete for their own destiny and future, and compete for the safety and companionship of their loved ones.

This reminded Dou Eqing of Su Muwan, who was half dead in the Zi Yang Ding. He teleported to the side of the Zi Yang Ding and gently placed his right hand on it, as if stroking her face.

"Wan'er, it won't be long before I can wake you up. Just have a good sleep in the cauldron."

Su Muwan's voice, appearance and smile appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but murmur.

The scene of him showing his deep affection was clearly seen by Long Ling who was not far away.

"You've never treated anyone else like this. Jin Qianxin is right. You only have this living dead in your heart!"

Long Ling thought indignantly in his heart.

Dou Eqing left Ziwei Immortal Mansion without reminiscing for too long. Long Ling did not greet her from a distance, acting as if she did not exist.

He behaved like this, and because of the Demon Slave Seal, Long Ling did not hate Dou Eqing, but turned his hatred towards Su Muwan.

So, as soon as Dou Eqing left, Long Ling stood next to the Ziyang Ding and cursed at the cauldron, saying all kinds of bad things about Su Muwan.

"Haha, it will be fun once my master wakes up. That kid's backyard is bound to be in turmoil!"

When the spirit of the Zi Yang Ding saw Long Ling's performance, it couldn't help but criticize inwardly. Although it had been born for endless years, it had no understanding of human emotions at all.

"What is this little girl going to do?"

The spirit of the Zi Yang Ding saw Long Ling cutting his wrists and drawing something around the Zi Yang Ding with his blood.

After a while, it seemed as if a formation diagram full of evil intentions was carved out.

"Blood sacrifice curse!" The spirit of the Zi Yang Ding finally remembered.

Rumor has it that this was a strange method created by a resentful woman who, in order to compete with someone for favor, used spells combined with formations to create a method that could make a male cultivator unconsciously develop a dislike for his or her Taoist partner, to the point of killing the partner with his or her own hands.

This was equivalent to a curse, not a direct attack. Not only was it difficult for the Zi Yang Ding spirit to actively stop her actions, it was also unable to resist.

Because the autonomous defense can only be activated when Su Muwan is harmed.

"That damned gossip is trying to harm the master. If the master could take action, she would definitely not be his opponent. This villain who only knows how to use secret tactics will not have a good death!"

The spirit of the Zi Yang Ding could only keep complaining in his heart, feeling unhappy at all.

If it had not recognized Su Mumingwan as its master, it could have directly taken action to kill ants like Long Ling, but now it was restricted and unable to take action.

Seeing that the blood sacrifice curse was forming and the spirit of the Zi Yang Ding was at a loss, Long Ling then took out a bunch of treasures and put them into the formation diagram.

These treasures are sacrifices. The more treasures are sacrificed, the more precious they are, and the more powerful the curse will be.

"She's crazy! She's a completely mad woman. She actually sacrificed her own 900 years of life. Damn it! Damn it!"

In order to target Su Muwan, Long Ling sacrificed his entire 900 years of life, which made the spirit of the Zi Yang Ding so angry that it wanted to curse.

After the sacrifice was offered, Long Ling began to chant a spell:

"The Yue Lao Immortal God witnessed that the infatuated woman Long Ling is deeply in love with Dou Eqing. Dou Lang... has bestowed upon Fairy Su the very fate that Dou Eqing hates!"

After the spell was finished, the spirit of the Zi Yang Ding did not hear Su Muwan's name.

"Haha! Fortunately, Dou didn't reveal the master's real name. Otherwise, this curse would have harmed the master miserably."

The spirit of the Zi Yang Ding couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The treasure that Long Ling sacrificed was already valuable, and he also sacrificed 900 years of his life. If all its power were to take effect, it might completely sever the relationship between Dou Eqing and Su Muwan.

Even though he was unable to say Su Muwan's full name, the causal relationship between Dou Eqing and Su Muwan still had a profound impact on them due to Long Ling's curse.

As soon as the curse was established, Dou Eqing suddenly recalled the memory of being raped by Su Muwan.

This memory no longer contained the feeling of her forcing Dou Eqing to have a relationship with her, but rather Dou Eqing's absolute victim mentality, as if Dou Eqing's original grudge against Su Muwan had been infinitely magnified.

When a man feels humiliated by a woman, any man with a bit of blood in his veins will not love the woman, and is more likely to retaliate doubly.

This memory infected Dou Eqing, causing him to immediately feel conflicted and extremely irritated.

"If I use the 215.5-level merits, wouldn't I be able to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm? Why should I save her?"

This thought involuntarily appeared in Dou Eqing's mind.

Following this thought, Dou Eqing came to the depths of the fifth-grade, top-grade spiritual vein in Juxian Village, as if he really wanted to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm here.

It can be seen how great the impact of Long Ling's blood sacrifice curse is. It not only affects Su Muwan, but Dou Eqing will also respond accordingly according to the cause and effect.

The aftereffects of Long Ling sacrificing her 900 years of life immediately appeared. She fainted next to the Zi Yang Ding, and her whole appearance changed from radiant to very haggard.

"Even jealousy can turn one into a demon. Oh, humans are so childish!"

Zi Yang Ding mocked the fainted Long Ling.

In its opinion, severing the cause and effect between Su Muwan and Dou Eqing is the most beneficial thing for Su Muwan. Following Dou Eqing will not bring her any benefits, but will instead bring her great risks.

If it weren't for saving Dou Eqing, Su Muwan would have been half dead.

If it weren't for this magical weapon to save her life, Su Muwan might have died.

While Dou Eqing was caught in a struggle between his conscience and his conscience in the outside world, Xiao Yuzhu discovered that Long Ling was abnormal.

"Sister Long, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yuzhu helped Long Ling up and asked anxiously.

No matter what she did, Long Ling couldn't wake up, so she had to call Dou Eqing.

Her call brought Dou Eqing back from his mad state.

Xiao Yuzhu replaced Su Muwan in Dou Eqing's current emotional world, and her call immediately made Dou Eqing have wild thoughts.

"Yuzhu, what happened? Could it be that the breakthrough was too fast and caused a hidden danger..."

Dou Eqing entered the Ziwei Immortal Mansion with an anxious heart, and immediately appeared in front of Xiao Yuzhu, asking worriedly.

"Yuzhu, are you okay?"

Although he saw that Xiao Yuzhu was intact and Long Ling was obviously abnormal, his attention was still on Xiao Yuzhu.

"I'm fine. Long Ling fell into a coma for some reason. Look at her face. Does she look sick?"

After hearing what Xiao Yuzhu said, Dou Eqing looked at Long Ling whom she was holding, but saw something unusual on the ground.

"Hey! Why is there so much blood on the ground? It doesn't look like a battle has taken place here."

His attention shifted from Long Ling to the blood-painted formation diagram near the Zi Yang Ding.

Although I couldn't quite understand the formation diagram, I knew that the formation was centered on the Zi Yang Ding, and I guessed that the formation diagram acted on the Zi Yang Ding.

Su Muwan was inside the Zi Yang Ding. Dou Eqing thought about his previous changes in feelings towards Su Muwan and vaguely guessed something.

So, he quickly pinched the slave control technique, and Long Ling was forcibly awakened by him.

"Tell me! What did you do to her?"

Long Ling was still in a confused state when Dou Eqing grabbed his neck.

It was too late for Xiao Yuzhu to stop it.

Then, seeing his angry expression, she immediately stood on Dou Eqing's side and looked at Long Ling in confusion.

Long Ling didn't care about Dou Eqing's rude behavior towards him, nor did he think of breaking free from his control immediately. Instead, he quickly made some hand gestures.

"I actually made a wedding dress for you!"

After Long Ling finished the hand gestures and got her answer, he looked at Xiao Yuzhu and murmured unwillingly.

She was checking the marriage line between herself and Dou Eqing, but instead saw from the marriage line that Xiao Yuzhu had replaced Su Muwan's position in Dou Eqing's heart.

At the same time, Xiao Yuzhu also saw the marriage line between herself and Dou Eqing, and had some guesses in her mind.

Only Dou Eqing couldn't see it, but when the line of fate between him and Xiao Yuzhu emerged, he felt that something connected him and Xiao Yuzhu.

Combined with Long Ling's murmured words, he had a general understanding of the direction.

Because he tried to think about Su Muwan, all that appeared in his mind were her shortcomings and the scene where Su Muwan pushed Shen Yirong off the cliff.

He now rationally tells himself that the person he loves the most is Su Muwan, but he has no sense of closeness to Su Muwan at all, let alone admiration for her.

Such a situation, to use the words of ordinary people, is like seeing a ghost, which is completely incomprehensible.

Even if he couldn't understand it, he couldn't speculate what the consequences would be.

Because he remembered the exchange of fifth-level power for fifth-level Tianyuan Liquid to rescue Su Muwan.

In the process of obtaining the fifth-level merit, if you encounter a difficult and powerful enemy and lose your rationality, you will constantly retreat in your heart and even give up rescuing Su Muwan.

This is still the most likely scenario at the moment. The most important thing is that the emotion seems to be poisoned and there is no antidote.

Now when Dou Eqing thought about this, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, so he didn't dare to think about Su Muwan.

"What should I do?"

Dou Eqing shrank down weakly.

He seemed extremely vulnerable at this moment.
