The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 149 Killing People Like Grass
The group, with over a hundred fine horses, soon crossed the border, and Li Jingxiao rode his horse up a hillside.

Looking out into the distance, one can see a small village.

I watched for a while, but I didn't see the welcoming party that Kwon Ji-ri woman had come to greet me.

He couldn't help but frown.

After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his left palm, drew talismans with his right fingers, and chanted incantations.

Soon, the magical light of the "Mystic Light Technique" flashed on his left palm, transforming into a void mirror composed of spiritual energy.

It reveals the scene of the village in the distance.

The three Shi brothers looked over in surprise.

Hu Xian'er asked in surprise, "My lord, is this the Mystic Light Technique?"

Li Jingxiao nodded with a slightly smug expression, then thought for a moment and pushed his left hand against the cliff face a few meters away.

The image manifested by the Xuan Guang Technique appeared on the cliff face.

This method isn't actually as magical as you might imagine.

At least Li Jingxiao's current level of cultivation is not enough to conjure up images of places he has never been to or seen.

Even with many restrictions, with this method in place, Li Jingxiao has virtually no secrets within his sight.

On the cliff face, within a circle about one and a half meters in diameter, the situation of the entire village in the distance was being displayed.

Seeing that there was no one in sight, Lee Kyung-hyo couldn't help but look at Choi Young-taek and the other three Goryeo warriors.

The four of them also became tense and worried.

Fearing that Li Jingxiao would misunderstand them, and also worried about Quan Zhili's safety.

He hurriedly said to Li Jingxiao, "My lord, General Quan may have been delayed by something."

"How about we walk another ten miles or so and check out the next village?"

Lee Kyung-hyo completely ignored Choi Young-taek's words.

Looking at Hu Xian'er and Liu Cuitong, he asked, "Where is the mountain that Lord Jinyang has seized?"

Hu Xian'er pointed north and said, "It will take about two days to reach the tiger demon's territory if we go north."

Li Jingxiao nodded, and before setting off, he glanced at the Zhao brothers, Zhao Junming and Zhao Junheng.

The two immediately understood what Li Jingxiao meant.

Nodding, not long after, Jiang Liu and Han Qiliang, along with their two squad leaders and twenty captains, began to keep a close eye on Cui Yongze and his group of four.

The four Koreans soon discovered that they were being monitored.

However, Cui Yongze and his three companions were quite well-behaved.

Not only did he not make any unusual moves, he also intentionally kept his distance from Li Jingxiao.

To avoid getting too close to Li Jingxiao, which would only arouse more suspicion.

Li Jingxiao didn't care; his target was the tiger demon, along with his three hundred accomplices and lesser demons.

Moreover, if they really encountered demons or evil spirits, his own captains wouldn't actually be of much help.

After cycling for two days, Li Jingxiao, as always, would play chess with Hu Xian'er or Liu Cuitong every time they set up camp.

However, he played Gomoku with Liu Cuitong.

The game they played with Hu Xian'er was chess.

Over the course of two days, Liu Cuitong successfully gained 2 experience points.

The woman is now only willing to play 10 games of Gomoku with him every day.

As for Hu Xian'er, even when playing chess with her, there were wins and losses.

Fortunately, we won more than we lost, and we gained 1400 points in two days.

However, unlike Liu Cuitong, Hu Xian'er was willing to keep playing, but Li Jingxiao soon discovered this.

If each game lasts ten minutes or even half an hour, it takes too long.

Don't neglect your training just to gain experience.

So Li Jingxiao thought it over and decided to spend only one hour each day playing chess with Hu Xian'er.

Moreover, even in fast chess, the probability of winning is not stable.

Fox spirits are indeed much more intelligent than other demons.

Hu Xian'er, an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, also has a strong learning ability.

This led Li Jingxiao to abandon his idea of ​​playing Go with Hu Xian'er.

Chess takes ten to thirty minutes, while a game of Go can easily take an hour.

The efficiency is extremely low.

My experience level is already 26 (5110/5200).

Li Jingxiao immediately pulled Hu Xian'er to play another game.

Hu Xian'er pouted; this thirty-year-old beauty actually looked quite cute making this gesture.

Li Jingxiao quickly composed himself, thinking to himself that this was a vixen trying to seduce him.

If I actually took her to bed, I might not be able to beat her.

That would be a complete waste of effort, and Hu Xian'er would actually be the one who feels better.

Fortunately, I won a game and leveled up to level 27 (10/5400).

After only a moment's hesitation, he added the newly acquired attribute points to his constitution.

体质18、根骨21+4、悟性18+2
I refuse to believe that when my physique reaches thirty or forty, I still won't be able to defeat this vixen.

Around 8 p.m., after having dinner, Li Jingxiao sat cross-legged in meditation and picked up the purple-gold gourd.

He poured several large mouthfuls of the spiritual wine into his mouth.

When I started practicing the Longevity Technique, I subconsciously glanced at my proficiency level.

Over the course of seven days, you can gain 100 proficiency points each day by relying on spirit wine.

In addition, the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter grants 3.1 proficiency points per hour, resulting in 6 proficiency points per day.

This technique has reached the level of mastery (1878/2000).

If I put in a little extra effort tonight, I should be able to break through to the Great Perfection realm by tomorrow morning.

Once you achieve perfect enlightenment, you can regain your youth.

Moreover, your appearance will be fixed, so you will never have to worry about getting old again.

After regaining youth, each day of practicing this divine skill will restore one year's worth of internal energy.

However, Li Jingxiao guessed that he could use Monkey Spirit Wine to accelerate the recovery of his skills.

Perhaps by drinking a few more jars of spiritual wine, his power will be mostly restored in a day or two.

Moreover, the technique he cultivates is the Longevity and Immortality Technique, which is somewhat different from that of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny.

In addition, he did not only practice the Longevity Technique.

Sword control and lightning bolt fist are unaffected by this technique.

Even if all else fails, with the blue potions in the game, one can actually have unlimited mana.

After an incense stick had burned, Li Jingxiao's ears suddenly twitched, and he quickly and slowly stopped practicing.

Sure enough, a moment later, they heard Han Qi and Yang Lin, who were on the first watch of the night, clasping their hands and saying hello from outside the tent.

"My lord, the scouts report that a Jurchen camp has been discovered six miles away."

Moreover, this group of over sixty savages had captured many Goryeo prisoners, several of whom were likely Goryeo warriors.

Upon hearing the name Jurchen, Li Jingxiao immediately stood up, and the Flying Immortal Sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

After leaving the tent and getting directions, a clone of myself appeared on a large tree more than 30 meters away.

He then sent a telepathic message to Han Qi and Yang Lin, instructing them to find Hu Xian'er and Liu Cuitong and follow them.

The others shall remain at the camp and not move without authorization.

Also, keep a close eye on those four Koreans.

Han Qi and Yang Lin hurriedly bowed and agreed, but when they looked up again, Li Jingxiao was nowhere to be seen.

Li Jingxiao used his lightness skill and ran for half a minute before he suddenly felt his speed slow down.

In reality, he had already flown several hundred meters, almost a mile, along the tree trunk. But now that his swordsmanship was highly advanced, he naturally found his lightness skill too slow.

Stopping on a large tree, holding the Flying Immortal Sword, he moved his mind and suddenly shot into the sky, flying to a height of 100 meters.

Then he rushed forward, and the surrounding scenery seemed to fast-forward, and in just a moment he flew four or five miles.

I could see the campfire in the distance.

Only then did he grasp the Flying Immortal Sword on his back and float in the air a hundred meters above the ground.

Flying on a sword doesn't necessarily mean standing on the sword itself.

Of course, this might be because the sword control technique in the game is somewhat different from the sword control techniques inherited by other sects.

But this is a good thing for Lee Kyung-hyo.

As long as you hold a flying sword in your hand or carry one on your back, you can fly through the air, which looks even cooler.

However, the true energy within Li Jingxiao's body is indeed incomparable to that of a true sword immortal.

Therefore, if you want to fly long distances, you need to take blue potions from the game to replenish your true energy.

But traveling several hundred miles is no problem at all.

Looking down at the camp more than 100 meters away, Li Jingxiao could see that it was indeed Jurchen. Moreover, from his vantage point, he quickly noticed that the Goryeo prisoners were vaguely surrounding several Goryeo people.

This immediately caught Li Jingxiao's attention.

Lower the altitude a bit, and get a little closer.

Only then, by the dim light of the fire, could they see that among the several Koreans protecting the middle, there was Kwon Ji-ri dressed in men's clothing with black mud smeared on her face.

No wonder he hadn't encountered Kwon Ji-ri who came to meet him before; it turned out he had been captured by this group of Jurchens.

However, the moonlight was quite bright tonight, and Li Jingxiao was discovered by several Jurchens lying on leather felt and some Goryeo prisoners not long after he floated in the air.

For a moment, the camp was filled with shouts and hands pointing to the sky.

Since that's the case, Li Jingxiao stopped hiding and flashed to the ground, landing 3 meters in the air in front of Quan Zhili.

He jokingly said, "So that's why you dared to break your promise. You were captured by these savages."

Kwon Ji-ri was taken aback at first, but Lee Kyung-hyo's voice sounded incredibly familiar to her.

Even in the past few months, she has occasionally dreamed of the scene where this man dragged her into the tent and wantonly defiled her.

Moreover, the longer we were apart, the more I missed him, the less I hated him.

Looking up more closely, she quickly realized that the man in front of her was indeed the one she had been thinking about day and night.

Tears welled up uncontrollably and streamed down my face.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao was wearing a bright red unicorn robe back then, which made him look majestic and handsome.

But his face still looked somewhat youthful.

At this moment, he was wearing silver armor and boots from the game, covered by a bright red robe with tiger patterns.

He wore a purple-gold crown and held a gleaming sword in his hand.

No matter how you look at it, he is extraordinary and powerful.

As she cried, the woman's face actually turned slightly red with embarrassment.

The gaze fixed on Li Jingxiao grew increasingly intense.

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but roll his eyes at this.

Immediately, with a thought, a level 20 sword appeared out of thin air.

He severed a long arrow that was aimed at him from a distance.

Li Jingxiao was now certain that 99% of the Jurchens had sided with the tiger demon.

The Jurchens were divided into Jianzhou, Haixi, and Wild Jurchens.

There were indeed some small Jurchen tribes on the border between Goryeo and Da Zhou.

These people not only fished and hunted, but also learned to cultivate crops on a small scale from the Han and Korean people.

But regardless of which Jurchen tribe it is, generally speaking, when they encounter someone like themselves who floats in the air...

They could either turn and run, or, like some of these Goryeo prisoners, kneel on the ground and cry out to the gods.

Now, when I attack myself, I have absolutely the confidence to do so.

Or they know that their presence will be detrimental to them.

With this in mind, Li Jingxiao had no more doubts.

Eight more level 20 swords appeared out of thin air around him.

Under the horrified gazes of Kwon Ji-ri and the Koreans, the nine flying swords spun several times before whistling as they shot out.

It pierced through the bodies of women, some carrying bows and arrows, others swords and spears, and still others fleeing.

In just five or six breaths, of the more than sixty Jurchens, only three remained, dressed in the best clothes and seemingly leaders or captains.

The three were now terrified by the sight of their clansmen falling one after another and the gleaming flying swords.

The Koreans weren't much better off.

More and more people knelt down before Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao reached out and flicked several small iron beads, which he had prepared beforehand and placed in his game inventory, hitting the pressure points of three Jurchen people.

Only then did he sheathe his flying sword, and with a wave of his hand, he used his true energy to push away the Goryeo people next to Kwon Ji-ri from a distance.

He landed next to the woman, then frowned and said, "Your face is covered in mud, you look awful."

After saying that, he twitched his nose and smelled an unusual odor.

Li Jingxiao said irritably, "You tidy yourself up, and then send your men to interrogate those three Jurchens to find out if they have submitted to that so-called Jinyang Jun."

"Once you're done, meet me at the camp about six or seven miles to the south."

After saying that, before Kwon Ji-ri could speak, Lee Kyung-hyo had a sudden thought, gripped the Flying Immortal Sword, and his body suddenly flew into the sky.

It instantly rose over a hundred meters high.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the Koreans, they vanished into the moonlight in the blink of an eye.

After Lee Kyung-hyo left, the Goryeo prisoners looked at Kwon Ji-ri with a mixture of fear and admiration, even fanaticism.

There were rumors that General Quan had a relationship with a high-ranking official from the Celestial Empire.

Although General Quan was a woman, she still cared deeply for her homeland, which is why she was willing to give up this relationship and return to Saikaido.

This rumor was, of course, leaked by Kwon Ji-ri herself.

Moreover, on some important occasions, Kwon Ji-ri herself admitted that she did have an affair with a young nobleman from Daeju.

If the person in question were a Korean man, Kwon Ji-ri would definitely be condemned to death.

Koreans learn everything from the Celestial Empire, including the traditional Chinese virtues of obedience and submission for women.

But the protagonist is a powerful figure in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although she is still subject to criticism, there are also many people willing to follow her.

When Choi Young-taek returned to Saikaido from the capital, he confirmed that Kwon Ji-ri really knew powerful figures from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, when he was a hereditary marquis, Kwon Ji-ri easily assembled a team of several hundred people.

However, the fighting ability of these Koreans was really not impressive.

Although several hundred people were ambushed, they only managed to hold out for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before being defeated by sixty or seventy Jurchens, most of whom were captured.

They headed north, intending to offer themselves to the tiger demon.

Lee Kyung-hyo didn't seem to care much about Kwon Ji-ri's safety before, otherwise he would have been searching for her around that small village two days ago.

This will definitely take a lot of time.

When we get back here, it might be a day or two from now.

At that time, Kwon Ji-ri had already been taken to the tiger demon's territory.

Now, not only has Lee Kyung-hyo saved her, but his appearance is also incredibly unbelievable.

When these prisoners looked at her again, they naturally became somewhat fanatical.

Kwon Ji-ri, sensing this, was overjoyed, but ambition also began to grow in her heart.

However, this woman also knew that everything she wanted still depended on that guy, Li Jingxiao.
