Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 3: Joining forces to destroy the leader of Qi
There are two reasons why Kong Shang was killed:

One is that Qi Xiu and Zhou Shan had a fight, and Kong Shangke and Zhou Shan had an affair and practiced dual cultivation together many times.

Second, power brings influence.

Because of his affair with Zhou Shan, they worked together to kill Sect Leader Qi. Zhou Shan then became the Sect Leader, and Kong Shangke naturally became the Deputy Sect Leader.

Although the shape of the pancake drawn by Dou Eqing was wrong, the taste was right.

Kong Shang rushed forward, but Dou Eqing left through the back door.

He did not intend to escape, but to call more people to besiege Qi Xiu.

As a sect that practices dual cultivation and nourishment, although Huanxiu Sect is only the most marginal sect among the demon sects, the monks in the sect are all selfish and opportunistic.

Now that Kong Shangke and Zhou Shan are jointly besieging Sect Leader Qi, the other cultivators will definitely choose to draw their swords against Sect Leader Qi after analyzing the pros and cons.

Dou Eqing only needs to give the cultivators a reason to take action.

Although he was only seventeen years old, his consciousness came from a man who had lived for more than sixty years.

When he traveled through time, his consciousness did not fall into Alzheimer's disease, but was infused with vitality, and he planned an action plan in a short time.

He first came to the Law Enforcement Hall and said that the deputy sect leader had revealed Qi Xiu's true identity and made up a story that Qi Xiu wanted to sacrifice all the cultivators in the sect in order to break through to the middle stage of foundation building.

Finally, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall called on all the monks to besiege Qi Xiu.

When almost all the monks in the sect joined the siege of Qi Xiu, Dou Eqing took up his sword and joined the battlefield.

However, the first person he killed was a monk from his own side who participated in the siege of Qi Xiu.

He predicted the direction from which Qi Xiu would strike a cultivator named Du away with a palm strike, and intended to attack from that direction with the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword.

"Ah! Old thief Qi, you caused me to accidentally kill Senior Brother Du. I'm going to kill you!"

Dou Eqing pretended to roar angrily, but in his heart he was saying:

"Brother Du, it would be better for me to reincarnate you than to die at Qi Xiu's hands. Qi Xiu's palm strike nearly took away your life. It's impossible for you to survive in our Huanxiu Sect. Living any longer will only bring pain. It's better to die early and reincarnate."

His real purpose was to fish in troubled waters, using the Infinite Merit Pearl and the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword in conjunction with the [Demon-Swallowing Heavenly Art] to improve his cultivation and make himself stronger.

Zhou Shan would not attack Qi Xiu for no reason. He knew that her target was also him.

Su Muwan's success in his favor was accidental, and he would not let anyone else label him as a traitor again.

This concerns his dignity as a man in two lives!
Moreover, the Pearl of Infinite Merit made Dou Eqing regard himself as the protagonist of this world.

In this world of cultivation where strength is respected, when you are young, you must seize every opportunity to improve your strength.

It is also to verify the function of the Infinite Merit Beads.

When the monk named Du died under his White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword, there was a little more true energy in his body, and a wisp of strange energy was transferred into his body from the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword.

This is the benefit brought by the [Demon-Swallowing Heavenly Art] and the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword.

However, these benefits do not conform to the description of [Demon Devouring Heavenly Art].

He discovered that 90% of the benefits were absorbed by the dormant spirit of the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword, and at the same time he saw layers of seals on the sword.

The third hand refined the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword into a life-long magic weapon with blood. It turned out that he discovered the existence of the weapon spirit after unlocking a layer of seal.

From this, it seems that in order to restore the power of the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword and use this sword to practice the [Demon-Swallowing Heavenly Art], Kong Shangke's blood refining technique is still needed to unlock the seal.

At the same time, Dou Eqing's mind flashed with the sins that the monk named Du had committed in his life.

Measured by the merit bestowed by heaven, the more deeply a cultivator is possessed by the devil and the more he has done evil things, the more merit he can obtain after killing him.

Therefore, the Infinite Merit Pearl will report the crimes of the monk named Du to Dou Eqing.

He read about the sins committed by the monk surnamed Du in his life. He actually used his essence to collect the essence of five mortal women and caused their deaths.

The guilt that had just arisen immediately eased a lot.

As for the discomfort from the first murder, there was no such thing.

This is the first time I've killed in this body. In my previous life, I've killed thirty-three people as a mortal.

His performance caught the attention of the cultivators who were besieging Qi Xiu.

Some cultivators saw his rapid improvement in cultivation.

Some female cultivators looked at him with admiration, knowing that he was no longer the ugly guy he used to be.

His complete face was revealed. Although he looked a little raw, it could not hide his handsome features.

Especially when comparing this face with his previous ugly appearance, it's like he has transformed from a frog into a prince.

Kong Shangke first set his eyes on the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, and then turned to look at the corpse of the monk named Du.

When Dou Eqing pulled the knife out of the monk Du's body, there was not a drop of blood on it.

However, the body of the monk surnamed Du looked like it had been depleted by the internal energy, and some of its life essence had been sucked away.

Kong Shangke concluded that the long sword he had refined for Dou Eqing was definitely a peerless treasure.

According to the righteous monks, it is a peerless devil sword.

As the main force besieging Qi Xiu, Zhou Shan looked at Dou Eqing most carefully.

“At only sixteen, he has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and possesses such a powerful natal magic weapon.

"He even managed to kill someone for the first time without batting an eyelid. He possesses the potential to become a giant in my demonic path. Wouldn't it be a shame to use him merely as a cultivation cauldron?"

The thought flashed through her mind.

Qi Xiu was under siege, and even though he was overwhelmed, he still glanced at Dou Eqing.

Among the besieged cultivators, there were also Qi Xiu’s secretly cultivated confidants.

He learned from his confidants that the culprit behind his siege was Dou Eqing, and that Dou Eqing had instigated other monks to attack him.

Qi Xiu's glance seemed nonchalant, but in fact he wanted to eat Dou Eqing.

He regretted that he had personally abducted Dou Eqing and brought him to Huanxiumen.

Dou Eqing didn't care what others thought of him and looked like he was determined to kill Qi Xiu.

The Infinite Merit Pearl can help him improve his cultivation by killing demons, and he is concentrating on picking up another cultivator who has hit his sword.

However, there were only six cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining present. Killing these six cultivators would not be enough for him to raise his cultivation to the peak of Qi Refining, let alone break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

He currently has no intention of attacking Zhou Shan, and Qi Xiu will not necessarily die under his knife.

Therefore, the final result of this battle was that after Qi Xiu was killed, Zhou Shan was also seriously injured, while he improved his cultivation to near the peak of Qi Refining.

As for hope, he naturally hopes that all the cultivators will die under his sword and prepare for the breakthrough of the foundation.

This is just a thought in my mind.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye during the siege of Qi Xiu. The battle had passed its most intense stage, and Qi Xiu was already covered in wounds. The besieging monks had paid a heavy price, with two-thirds of the low-level monks killed or wounded.

Dou Eqing suddenly noticed Qi Xiu exchanging glances with a female cultivator named Gu, and a plan came to mind. "This woman is Qi Xiu's mistress, old villain. Be careful she might turn against us!"

Dou Eqing shouted loudly and turned the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword that was attacking Qi Xiu towards the female cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining beside him.

He originally held the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword in both hands and walked forward, slashing out sword energy from top to bottom to attack Qi Xiu. At the end, he kicked the back of the sword with his right foot, and the blade quickly slashed towards the female cultivator beside him.

The female cultivator never expected that he would attack her. In addition, the continuous fighting had greatly reduced her strength. She had no time to defend herself and was hit in the lower abdomen by the knife. She was almost cut in half.

When she fell to the ground seriously injured, Dou Eqing did not forget to slash at the female cultivator's neck.

Just because of the saying that if you kill the enemy, you must kill him, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

This female cultivator was a sadist. After Dou Eqing was abducted to the Huanxiu Sect at the age of seven, he suffered a lot from her.

Killing her is revenge for the original owner.

The female cultivator only remembered Dou Eqing's purpose of revenge when she was dying.

She summoned her last breath and shouted:

"Wu Xiao is his mistress..."

What she actually wanted to express was that Dou Eqing killed her to avenge a personal vendetta.

Upon hearing this, Dou Eqing immediately dragged his knife towards Wu Xiao, with an excuse ready.

The blade rubbed against the hard ground, creating a series of sparks.

He rushed towards Wu Xiao with the murderous aura of having just killed someone, and an invisible momentum.

"I surrender! I will not turn against you! Qi Xiu and I are no longer friends!"

Wu Xiao shouted while resisting Dou Eqing's attack, fearing that he would become another victim of Dou Eqing's knife.

Dou Eqing used the same trick as before, and another Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator named Zhang was hit by the White Tiger Demon Slayer Sword and died.

In this battle, three ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators have died at the hands of his White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword, and the number of low-level cultivators accidentally killed or injured exceeds one palm.

Everyone died in a strange way, making Dou Eqing look like a mysterious butcher.

"We can't believe you without any evidence!"

A female cultivator who had a deep hatred for Wu Xiao also rushed towards Wu Xiao as she spoke.

After this female cultivator joined the siege of Wu Xiao, Dou Eqing pretended to listen to her explanation, but was secretly accumulating strength.

He continuously poured the true energy in his body into the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword, and while Wu Xiao was resisting the female cultivator's double swords, he slashed down on his head with a powerful sword.

Dou Eqing himself didn't know that this knife would be so powerful. Wu Xiao was actually split in half by one knife.

The female cultivator in front of Wu Xiao was splattered with blood.

However, the female cultivator did not take it seriously and laughed wildly.

"Kill her!"

Suddenly a voice sounded in Dou Eqing's mind.

He subconsciously raised the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword and pushed it forward. The White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword flew out of his hand towards the female cultivator and finally stabbed into her abdomen.

"Kill the most heinous criminal and you will be rewarded with a drop of Heavenly Source Liquid."

A voice came from the Infinite Merit Pearl in his mind.

Judging from the feedback from the Infinite Merit Pearl on the female cultivator's sins, she was indeed guilty of a heinous crime.

The female cultivator killed the entire village where she was born, and even her own relatives.

And Wu Xiao is her last relative in the world.

While Dou Eqing was still in a daze, a drop of liquid dripped from his brow.

This drop of liquid, with its brilliant light, was the first to attract Qi Xiu, whose physical strength and true energy were about to be exhausted.

Qi Xiu's intuition told him that this drop of liquid could help him break through to the middle stage of foundation building.

So, he rushed towards Dou Eqing without hesitation, using all his true energy to perform flying steps.

But he underestimated his current condition. Without the protection of his true energy, he was hit on the back by Zhou Shan's sword.

His already seriously injured body was half dead.

Qi Xiu tried his best to rush to Dou Eqing, but was hit by the knife that Dou Eqing pulled out from the female cultivator's abdomen, and his head was chopped off for unknown reasons.

It turned out that Qi Xiu was already on the verge of death, and the reason he was able to hold on was because he was secretly burning the true energy provided by his life span.

The Tianyuan Liquid was so attractive to everyone that even after Dou Eqing killed Qi Xiu, everyone gradually gathered around him.

He quickly took out the jade bottle and put away the Tianyuan Liquid.

This drop of Tianyuan Liquid from the reward is obviously of higher grade than the Tianyuan Liquid obtained by killing ordinary demon cultivators.

In the memory of the Infinite Merit Pearl, this kind of Heavenly Source Liquid is relatively rare and can be used as an aid to break through bottlenecks.

This kind of Heavenly Source Liquid comes from completing the tasks issued by the Infinite Merit Pearls, and is the reward for completing the tasks the fastest.

Dou Eqing still has some memories about the Infinite Merit Pearl that have not been unlocked.

In addition to its supernatural power, the Infinite Merit Pearl also has a mandatory task, and failure to complete it may endanger his life.

If the "extremely evil" female cultivator was killed by someone else, he would kill that cultivator to offset the failure of the mission.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Merits he gained from killing other demon cultivators will be deducted.

If the Heavenly Merit he gained has been converted into cultivation, if the mission fails, his cultivation will also regress.

The decline of a monk’s cultivation has a huge impact on his practice.

Therefore, issuing tasks from the Infinite Merit Pearl is equivalent to pushing Dou Eqing forward.

Dou Eqing looked at the monks who were gradually surrounding him, and then glanced at Zhou Shan who was also covered in wounds.

There were exactly thirty-three people alive, and no more than ten of them were able to stand up and fight.

Even Zhou Shan, the strongest one, only had 10% of his peak combat power, according to his estimation.

And every time he killed someone, a portion of his true energy would be fed back from the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Sword.

This caused his internal Qi to be consumed much slower than that of other cultivators.

Especially when killing Qi Xiu, what was returned was the true essence.

A portion of true essence was refined into true qi in his body, and the true essence he consumed was almost replenished immediately.

So he made a decision:
"You all need to reincarnate as human beings and transform all of my cultivation into mine!"

The decision was to give it a go.

　Cheer for yourself and for you!
