The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 296 This is a Big Spender

Li Jingxiao tossed the bright silver spear to the patrolling sea yaksha beside him.

He looked at Ao Run and said, "This spear also belongs to the Dragon Palace. It was given to me by a Dragon Lord when I was practicing martial arts."

I've used it for so many years and it's still quite convenient.

But in today's world, it seems too insignificant.

Remembering that the little white dragon and the Dragon Lord were father and son, he went to try his luck.

Ao Run almost rolled his eyes when he heard this. It was practically a blatant admission that Li Jingxiao was using the White Dragon to try and steal the treasure of the West Sea Dragon Palace.

However, unlike Sun Wukong back then, who went to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea to gamble and win the Golden Cudgel.

They even acted like scoundrels, insisting on wearing a full suit of armor, otherwise they would stay in the East Sea Dragon Palace and refuse to leave.

Although Li Jingxiao used underhanded tactics, he was indeed in the right on the surface.

He didn't force the little white dragon to eat his horse.

Since he ate it, and the White Dragon himself neither admitted it nor offered compensation, he didn't do so.

When it came to Ao Run, the father, no one could say anything was wrong.

Ao Run sighed and took the black gold and silver spear from the Yaksha's hand.

I found that this gun weighs at most 700 or 800 pounds, which is indeed a bit light and suitable for beginners.

Moreover, after only a few glances, he was certain that this item was indeed made by the Dragon Palace.

As for whether it is the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas or the Dragon Palace of the Rivers and Lakes, that remains unknown.

But at least we can be certain that this man used this spear to practice martial arts when he was young.

His martial arts skills must also be extraordinary.

Moreover, having such excellent weapons at such a young age means that his elders or sect elders must also be extraordinary.

No wonder this Taoist priest seemed so confident and fearless.

They must be certain that even if he causes trouble, someone will clean up his mess.

He sighed inwardly and looked at Prime Minister Turtle, saying, "Go and fetch the weapons."

Prime Minister Gui understood Ao Run's concerns and hurriedly ordered people to fetch weapons.

Knowing that Li Jingxiao was skilled with a spear, they did not bring any weapons such as swords, knives, hammers, or maces.

Soon, a tiger-headed spear was carried out by four shrimp soldiers.

Ao Run felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this.

He smiled and said, "Master, this spear weighs 2,400 jin and is forged from the finest Western Sea Cold Iron."

It is a rare treasure in my palace.

Li Jingxiao could tell at a glance that this gun was indeed excellent, at least much better than his own Bright Silver Gun.

He stood up, stepped forward, grabbed the gun barrel, and lifted it with one hand.

He swung around a few times, creating a few flourishes with his gun.

He then used the Overlord Spear technique.

In an instant, the Dragon Palace was filled with the shadows of spears, both domineering and powerful.

Anyone who looks at him can tell that Li Jingxiao is an excellent marksman.

Li Jingxiao then used the Yue Family Spear, which possessed both the ferocity of the Overlord Spear and the agility and speed of the Yue Family Spear.

The generals in the Dragon Palace were shocked by what they saw. They wondered how many moves they could last against this Taoist priest if they were to fight him.
But after playing with it for a short while, Li Jingxiao suddenly shook his head, "Too light, not easy to handle."

Ao Run's expression immediately changed slightly.

They felt that 2,400 jin was too light, and even said it was "too light".

That Taoist priest's martial arts skills are even more impressive than I imagined.

Ao Run thought for a moment, then looked at Prime Minister Gui and said, "Go and fetch the long spear made of mixed iron and refined gold."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Gui hesitated.

This great spear weighs 5,200 jin (approximately 2,500 kg), making it not only the largest spear-type weapon in the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Moreover, it was a weapon that the eldest prince, Moang, had his eye on.

However, that large spear was indeed too heavy, so the Crown Prince felt it was not suitable for his hand, which is why he used a large spear weighing 3,600 jin.

Even his own eldest prince found it heavy, so Prime Minister Turtle didn't think this young Taoist priest in front of him could actually lift it.

But seeing the Dragon King glare at him, he could only hurriedly order someone to fetch it.

After a while, twelve shrimp soldiers came out, heaving as they carried a large spear.

When Li Jingxiao saw that the spear was eighteen feet long and the spearhead was two feet five centimeters long, or 60 centimeters, Li Jingxiao noticed that the spear was eighteen feet long.

The gun barrel gleamed with gold and was engraved with dragon scale patterns.

The spearhead gleamed coldly, clearly exceptionally sharp.

Most importantly, this gun is really good-looking.

So I liked it at first sight.

I reached out to grab it, and I must say, it was quite heavy.

But it is still much lighter than the towering white jade pillar.

If Bai Yuzhu could wield it, then this large spear would be even easier.

Li Jingxiao brandished the gun, finding it increasingly easy to wield.

Although the Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar is excellent, Li Jingxiao's skill in staff fighting is indeed inferior to his skill in spear fighting.

If it weren't for the fact that spear techniques and staff techniques share many similarities, Li Jingxiao might not have been able to master the Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar.

As Ao Run watched Li Jingxiao use various spear techniques, he secretly rejoiced that he had not underestimated Li Jingxiao.

Otherwise, with just this martial arts skill, probably only his eldest son, Moang, could rival him in the entire West Sea Dragon Palace.

As for why he gave the weapon that Prince Moang had his eye on to Li Jingxiao, the Old Dragon King wasn't stupid.

This suggests that Li Jingxiao is not only highly skilled in Taoist magic and martial arts, but also likely has a powerful elder behind him.

As for their eldest prince, who wants to use this great spear, who knows how many years of training he will need.

Rather than letting it gather dust, it's better to give it to Li Jingxiao and gain a big favor.

As for his own son, he could simply have someone forge another pole.

Given the Dragon Palace's wealth and forging technology, it was indeed not a difficult task.

Perhaps we can forge something even better.

After demonstrating a few spear techniques, Li Jingxiao was in high spirits.

Moreover, since he got along well with the Dragon King of Dongting Lake in the Dream of the Red Chamber world and even helped him solve a lot of troubles.

The returns were also quite good.

Li Jingxiao naturally wouldn't forget to establish a connection with the West Sea Dragon Palace.

As the ruler of the sea, Li Jingxiao did not believe that the entire Western Sea would submit to the Dragon Palace.

There will inevitably be rebels or pirates who seize the seas and rule as kings.

You can gain experience and also get some good stuff from the Dragon Palace.

So Li Jingxiao put his gun into his inventory, cupped his hands, and said to the old Dragon King.

"Thank you, Dragon Lord. If you ever need anything in the Western Sea, you can always come to Wanzishan Boyue Cave in Xiniu Hezhou to find me."

"This humble Taoist will certainly lend the Dragon Lord a hand."

The Dragon King of the West Sea and the Dragon Granny in the side hall couldn't help but smile with delight.

The reason for giving this Taoist priest a large spear is precisely because of this saying.

In an instant, the atmosphere became harmonious.

During the banquet, Ao Run also tested Li Jingxiao with a few words.

Li Jingxiao was hoping for a rebellion in the Western Sea so he could gain experience.

So he spoke with such sincerity and earnestness, as if he were the most trustworthy person in the world.

They even went so far as to say that if there were any rebels or bandits...

He was willing to follow the army of the Western Sea to quell the rebellion.

He also claimed that ten years ago, he personally led an army of 10 to conquer foreign tribes.

Ao Run and the others were stunned.

But when Ao Run and the generals of the Dragon Palace started talking about military topics...

Li Jingxiao's words were very logical and reasonable.

Li Jingxiao did indeed personally lead a large army on two expeditions.

They were still somewhat inexperienced when they first raided the Tatars.

However, in the two major battles that followed, he led his army into Goryeo for the second time and then led his troops to invade Japan.

Li Jingxiao considered himself to be a qualified commander.

They were thoroughly familiar with everything from troop deployment and camp setting to logistics.

Hearing this, Ao Run and the generals of the Western Sea had no choice but to believe that he had indeed served as a commander. At the very least, he was a general who commanded troops.

Ao Run and the others secretly thought, no wonder this kid has such an imposing aura of someone who has been in a high position for a long time.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.

Li Jingxiao's eyes lit up, and he began to actively seek out people to drink with.

With a cheat device, no matter how much alcohol you drink, you'll be fine.

Moreover, after drinking a Yaksha Grand Commandant under the table, the thought of +2 experience points popped into his head.

Li Jingxiao became even more enthusiastic about finding people to drink with.

Ao Run didn't care, since the Dragon Palace had no shortage of wine anyway.

Moreover, once drunk, if anything happens, it's easy to sober up using magic.

So Li Jingxiao had already drunk three Dragon Palace generals under the table, and the old Dragon King just watched for fun.

He simply didn't believe that Li Jingxiao alone could drink all the generals and commanders in his palace under the table.

If that's the case, Ao Run would be willing to call Li Jingxiao the Great Sage of Wine.

In order to gain experience, Li Jingxiao naturally became more and more courageous in battle.

The generals and commanders of the Western Sea, in order to save face, were equally determined not to back down.

Of course, the aquatic creatures still had their pride, and not many of them joined Li Jingxiao in a drinking contest.

Instead, they would drink one person under the table, and then another would take their place.

Just two hours later, many of the generals and commanders of the Dragon Palace were either staggering or lying on their sides.

Or they're already hiding under the table.

The old Dragon King blushed, but he felt both admiration and helplessness towards Li Jingxiao.

How could it be faked to drink jar after jar of wine in front of so many people from the Dragon Palace?
Li Jingxiao was overjoyed, having drunk over twenty people under the table and gained over 400,000 experience points.

If he could, Li Jingxiao would like to visit the Dragon Palace every day.

Seeing that no one in the Dragon Palace dared to challenge him to a drinking contest, Li Jingxiao wanted to say goodbye to the old Dragon King.

To avoid making Ao Run feel embarrassed if he stayed too long.

Unexpectedly, a report came that the eldest prince, Moang, had returned.

When Moang rushed back, he was still angry about the big spear.

But when they arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Palace, they were stopped by the Turtle Prime Minister who was waiting there and gave them a long speech of advice.

The eldest prince didn't listen at all.

But I heard that Li Jingxiao alone drank all the generals and commanders in the palace under the table.

The crown prince's face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed, "Well done!"

He rushed into the palace, intending to have a drinking contest with Li Jingxiao.

Sure enough, after some polite exchanges, Moang saw that Li Jingxiao held him in high esteem.

He speaks very nicely, and I immediately thought Li Jingxiao was a good person.

Raise the wine bowl to offer a toast.

Li Jingxiao naturally accepted all comers.

After downing three bowls, Moang realized he couldn't tell whether the guy had cheated.

They felt that no one could cheat while they were watching.

They really thought Li Jingxiao had an insatiable capacity for alcohol and could drink as much as he wanted without getting drunk.

They started drinking heavily with Li Jingxiao.

In just half an hour, the Dragon Palace prince, who had an exceptionally high alcohol tolerance, suddenly became unsteady on his feet and began to slur his words.

Seeing this, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

He said with a smile, "Your Highness, if you can't drink it all, just admit defeat."

We hit it off immediately and were about to have a martial arts contest.

Moang would never have admitted that his alcohol tolerance was inferior to Li Jingxiao's.

But when he heard that the man wanted to have a martial arts match with him, his eyes lit up.

He circulated his magic power and his eyes quickly cleared.

But by doing this, he was essentially cheating.

So Moang didn't waste any time and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist has an extraordinary capacity for alcohol; I am indeed inferior."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao received a notification in his mind that he had gained 20 experience points.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

Upon seeing this, Moang mistakenly assumed that Li Jingxiao, like himself, was also a martial arts enthusiast.

My liking for Li Jingxiao has increased even more.

The two arrived at the training ground. Li Jingxiao had visited the Dongting Dragon Palace quite a few times in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

He also taught several princes and princesses of the Dongting Dragon King. In return, the Dongting Dragon King taught Li Jingxiao how to fight in the water.

Moreover, he already knew the Water Avoidance Technique, so Li Jingxiao's strength in the water was actually not much different from his strength on land.

He saluted Prince Moang with his gun drawn, and without exchanging many words, he immediately started fighting.

But at the beginning, both of them were mostly testing each other.

Li Jingxiao soon discovered that the Crown Prince's strength was no less than his own.

Prince Moang was quite surprised.

Lee Kyung-hyo had previously stated that he was only twenty-seven years old.

Moreover, he began learning Taoism at the age of six, but only truly began practicing martial arts at the age of sixteen.

In just over a decade, the power has grown to such an extent.

An Dao's talent is indeed extraordinary, and his master or family elder must be an exceptional master.

After a dozen or so moves, the two had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

The intensity of the fight suddenly increased significantly.

The spear thrust was heavy and powerful.

With swiftness and agility, Moang gradually used his speed advantage to suppress Li Jingxiao.

However, Li Jingxiao's defense was also watertight, and he used slow and steady tactics to counter fast attacks, remaining still while controlling movement, and striking first after the opponent has made a move.

As the fight went on, Moang felt increasingly frustrated.

No matter how he attacked, Li Jingxiao would always block him, and the Tai Chi meaning would emanate from his weapon, the spear.

It makes one feel that Li Jingxiao's marksmanship is slippery.

Li Jingxiao's Tai Chi Sword, Tai Chi Fist, Dugu Nine Swords, and Wildfire Spear Technique are all at max level.

Through mutual verification and integration, some martial arts concepts and principles are the same.

Therefore, a spear in hand can be used as a spear or as a longsword.

The repeated use of the "Broken Spear Style" and the "Tai Chi Way" in his spear techniques made Prince Moang feel that Li Jingxiao's spear technique was slippery and difficult to handle.

The two exchanged over forty moves when Li Jingxiao had a sudden thought.

Two pills, one red and one blue, suddenly appeared in his mouth.

It took only a short while after swallowing it for the physical strength, endurance, mental energy, and stamina expended during the fight to recover.

They recovered quickly.

On the other hand, Moang's main attack would naturally consume more strength and stamina.

The mixed iron and refined gold spear in Li Jingxiao's hand was much heavier than the spear in his hand.

The clash of moves often requires more effort to defend against.

So after only forty or fifty moves, Moang's stamina and endurance had already declined.

After taking the red and blue medicine, Li Jingxiao's attack power with the gun immediately increased by three points.

Moang quickly sensed that the force coming from the spear had actually become stronger.

He couldn't help but be secretly amazed; this kid had actually been holding back during their earlier exchange.

He then began to admire Li Jingxiao.

Fortunately, the Crown Prince's martial arts skills were indeed remarkable, and his experience was even more extraordinary.

After another forty or fifty moves, he managed to defend against Li Jingxiao's powerful attack as well.

But after Li Jingxiao took two more pills, one red and one blue, he immediately regained his strength.

After just a few moves, Prince Moang began to curse in his heart.

He thought to himself, "This kid must have learned some Taoist techniques to restore strength and energy."

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to suddenly become powerful again and again.

I couldn't help but feel a little envious.
