Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 333 Heroes of the World Like the Sun Amidst Clouds
The big-headed monster's body hadn't been swept too far in the water.

Chu Tianshu chased him for three or four miles before jumping into the water and pulling him out.

The strange man was also holding a "live fish" in his hand.

Chu Tianshu observed the luster in the fish's eyes and sensed its vitality; it should still be alive, but the fish remained motionless.

"Was the fish's shadow taken away?"

Chu Tianshu recalled the strange blade shadow in the big-headed monster's hand when he attacked Zhang Tao, and a realization dawned on him.

He grabbed the strange man and quickly ran into the jungle.

The shadow's attack was light, swift, and silent, but the sound of Zhang Tao wielding his whip was very obvious.

In Nan Hua Yuan Dian's view, Zhang Tao's vitality at this moment was so abundant that it was like a vast, ever-changing wildfire.

When Chu Tianshu arrived at his destination, he saw dozens of fallen trees in front of him.

Zhang Tao was leaping and bounding across the tree stumps with incredible agility.

The shadow of the big-headed monster now trembles for a second every time it comes into contact with the shadow of his iron whip.

If this drags on, even if Zhang Tao has half an hour, he could probably wear this shadow down.

"Stop it."

Chu Tianshu tossed the big-headed monster aside, drew his long sword from his waist again, and placed it against the monster's neck.

Although I don't know how the Shadow Drive technique works, since it's related to bloodline, I'll try to draw some blood first.

Chu Tianshu's blade slightly cut through the skin, drawing blood from the big-headed monster.

Sanqi was quite picky and didn't like the blood of this big-headed monster.

Blood gurgled out by the long sword, flowing down the blade like a small spring, staining the fallen leaves on the ground red.

The shadow assassin trembled twice and suddenly retreated to its original body.

The big-headed monster opened its eyes and grabbed Chu Tianshu's blade: "Don't...don't kill me..."

Chu Tianshu found it a bit strange.

"Last time you even damaged your own heart meridian, acting like a suicide squad leader. How come you gave in so easily this time?"

The big-headed monster was also taken aback by the question.

He used to live in the base inside the mountain. He only knew how to carry out missions and how there would be a reward after killing people. He didn't care who the people were.

"Dad" told them that if they were ever caught, they should commit suicide immediately to prevent their secret from being exposed.

He did as he was told, without thinking about why.

However, in the short time he spent with the wolf-headed swordsman, he felt that many things had changed.

Having acquired more and more substantial power, my five senses have become more acute, and the whole world has become twice as wonderful.

Moreover, the wolf-headed swordsman also had a task for him, and he had ulterior motives towards him.

But that teaching method and that inspiring attitude are completely different from the training that the big-headed monster received from childhood.

"me……"

The big-headed monster mumbled a few words, then burst into tears, "I don't want to die! It was that wolf who told me to deal with Zhang Tao."

"He's already been killed by you, right? I can do what you say, just don't kill me."

Chu Tianshu looked at him with a deep gaze: "When you rushed towards Zhang Tao, the killing intent you showed didn't seem like you were simply following orders, or even just wanted to kill Zhang Tao."

The big-headed monster's expression froze.

“You were misled from the very beginning, and most of this sin should be attributed to the Southern Sky Organization.”

Chu Tianshu shook his head slightly, "But those people you killed should also get an explanation."

According to information from the New Energy Association, they conducted several extermination-style capture operations targeting small settlements.

These mature experimental subjects also contributed greatly.

These people were created through cruel experiments, yet they take pride in it, causing more people to become experimental subjects.

With a flick of his wrist, the tip of his sword touched the big-headed monster's brow.

The strange man fainted.

Chu Tianshu sheathed his sword, picked him up, and said to Zhang Tao, "Let's try finding a desolate area?"

Zhang Tao nodded and led the way.

The two led the big-headed monster over mountains and through rivers and forests, leaving the Jinling No. 7 terrain.

They chose the most desolate direction and stopped briefly after arriving there.

Wild grass grows in the fields, reaching up to a person's waist.

Bored, Zhang Tao and the others looked around. Suddenly, he stuck his iron whip into the ground, parted the grass, and pulled up a stalk of green wheat.

This vast stretch of wasteland should have been fertile farmland.

Looking into the distance, you can still see a few collapsed houses and lonely utility poles.

Zhang Tao plucked two grains of wheat, popped them into his mouth, and handed them to Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu also picked off a few and chewed them.

Wheat that has already filled with grains, even if it is raw and grown in the wild, is still okay to eat occasionally, as it has a unique grain aroma.

They ate and waited, but after a while, they still didn't sense the arrival of the ghostly figures from Jinling No. 7.

"That wolf hadn't fully transformed to begin with. It seems this shadow assassin is still a bit lacking in skill."

Chu Tianshu said, "Take him back and nurture him until he has fully transformed. Then use him to lure the Dharma Form away before killing it?"

Zhang Tao pondered for a moment, shook his head, and swept away a large patch of wild grass with his whip.

After the wild grass lay flat, it was smooth as silk, revealing the golden characters.

[Shadow magic is difficult to defend against; waiting for its transformation would be even more unwise—playing with fire will only lead to self-destruction. Kill it immediately!]

[Major cities are about to unite; they have ample manpower. The Seventh Terrain should be closely monitored in the future; it's better to keep it under control than to leave it unattended.]

After considering it for a moment, Chu Tianshu nodded.

Zhao Qinglang's method of attempting to borrow the power of a Dharma body at any time by manipulating a wisp of the soul of a precursor creature is actually quite flawed. Using that method, when actually activating a ghostly or divine Dharma body, the Dharma body's effects would inevitably backfire and become uncontrollable.

Just like when someone throws a stone into the sea, it will definitely splash water.

The forms of ghosts and spirits are similar to natural disasters and also possess the characteristics of natural laws.

Zhao Qinglang only intended to use that thing as a deterrent weapon, to be thrown out when necessary, like a dirty bomb of the new era, so he naturally didn't care.

However, if a person of upright character tries to use this method to command spirits and deities to better protect the city, they will surely make things worse.

This is a problem in terms of the overall direction.

Even though Chu Tianshu spared no expense to further optimize the Soul-Locking Technique, it was to no avail.

After all, the word "optimization" already represents extension and sublimation, rather than destruction and reconstruction.

After careful consideration, it's best to kill this big-headed monster as soon as possible.

With a flick of his finger, Chu Tianshu created a bloody hole in the big-headed monster's forehead.

【Heavenly Fox Shadow Chaser: Born from the combination of fox demon bloodline and human bloodline through extraordinary techniques.】

Unaware of the evil he had witnessed, he took pride in evil for the rest of his life.

His bloodline in the spirit world has reverted to its ancestral form, allowing him to kill without leaving a trace, and he has also received the attention of the Dharma body, resulting in a 90% transformation of his five senses.

Characteristics: Allows the shadow to move away from the body, slaying the shadow of others as if killing the body itself; can sense gravity fluctuations, following the trail of the blade with effortless control over the force of the strike.

Chu Tianshu also took a look at the list of evil spirit materials.

That wolf-headed swordsman wasn't actually considered an evil spirit.

It can transfer the identity of a precursor creature to others, and it carries such a heavy aura of the spirit world.

Since it's not an evil spirit, it's most likely someone who possesses the bloodline of some divine beast.

Evil spirits often harbor a deep-seated, instinctive malice towards human beings, while the choice of whether a possessor of divine beast bloodline is good or evil is entirely up to them.

Zhao Qinglang, on the other hand, nurtured a rather powerful evil spirit within his own body.

【Soul-Hooking Refined General: Wild beasts and urban martial artists, kill ten to take one, refined through a hundred cycles.】

His sinister nature is like that of a born ghost general, yet his magical abilities reveal the result of hard work and dedication.

Characteristics: Possesses unwavering fighting spirit, never faltering until death. When possessing a human body, it enhances the efficacy of the body's special energies, capable of conjuring skeletons from unleashed vital energy, and sealing away intentions and energy.

In addition, there's the material about Riko that I specifically saved up.

We're almost there to meet the criteria for the first simulation of the true skill of chasing the sun.

The "Qi Shu" column is only a little short of being full.

Chu Tianshu felt quite at ease, but then he thought of the four wisps of the souls of the forerunners.

Controlling them with those four wisps of souls is not feasible, but finding their true forms directly, driving them far away, and then killing them might be possible.

Those four precursor creatures were probably evil spirits as well.

boom! !

Chu Tianshu turned his head to look when he heard the sound.

Zhang Tao slapped the ground, creating a large crater just big enough for a corpse to lie in, and buried the big-headed monster inside.

With another wave of his hand, Zhang Tao filled the pit, then stomped on the ground twice, revealing the writing.

[Haven't had a proper meal for several days. Should I go back and eat?]

He started displaying punctuation marks along with the text again.

"Haha."

Chu Tianshu chuckled, then suddenly remembered, "I think I still have a few of your Shiweitian vouchers."

"It was given to me by a butcher; I can exchange it for meat."

That's perfect! Let's check out their meat quality.

Zhang Tao turned to look at Jinling, as if he suddenly remembered something.

[Ningning said the Demon Hunter leader is a wolf in sheep's clothing?]

"Yes."

Chu Tianshu turned and walked towards Jinling, flicking the hilt of his sword with his left finger.

"I quite like the ideals that the Demon Hunters promote. In fact, the fact that the Demon Hunters have such a great reputation shows that there are many, many people in the wasteland who hope for and support this kind of power."

"However, Zhao Qinglang and his group are cunning. They first seized the position, then interfered, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back."

"This has made this idea seem to be exclusive to them, and people who were originally genuinely committed to this cause in various places have been unable to come together and achieve significant results."

Zhang Tao walked beside him, nodding deeply.

Look at Nanjing, is it peaceful now?

Wait, there are five characters!

Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "From the current perspective, that's certainly very good. The crisis has been temporarily averted, and opportunities are flourishing..."

He suddenly realized something halfway through his sentence and looked at Zhang Tao.

[It's good that things are peaceful. The misunderstanding between Nanfeng and me has been cleared up, so at this time, I don't need to stay at home so often.]

Zhang Tao's whip touched the ground, and in his eyes was the orange-red sun hanging in the west, still generously painting a warm glow.

Even if there isn't a real Zhao Qinglang in this world, at least there is a real Zhang Tao.

"Ha ha ha ha."

After a slight pause, Chu Tianshu smiled broadly and patted Zhang Tao on the shoulder, "Old Zhang, I have high hopes for you."

“Perfect timing. I was also planning to go out and kill a few monsters. We can travel together during this time.”

"However, even if I run away in the future, I think there will be more than one Zhang Tao in this world."

The heroes of this world, even if not as numerous as carp crossing a river, should be as plentiful as scales in the sky.

Imagine the clouds on the horizon, like fish scales, that can transform the scorching, cruel sun into a gentle, warm golden glow. How powerful and magnificent that is!
