Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 237 Liu Qing Slays Three Demon Kings in Succession, Achieving Minor Success in His Profound Skill, Becoming Like a Giant Spirit

Seeing the White Egret Demon King charging menacingly towards Liu Qing's true form, Li Shimin frowned and asked the avatar of Liu Qing beside him:
"Brother Liu, although I don't understand cultivation, I did hear a bit from the demon king's shouts just now. The one attacking us is a demon king at the Fifth Qi Realm, while you are only at the Dharma Realm Realm. Your cultivation is far inferior to itss. Can you handle it?"

Liu Qing's clone smiled and said, "Brother Li, please rest assured. This realm is not the same as combat power. I regard that demon king as nothing more than a target to be sold!"

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

He still had half a breath left, and it seemed he could only relax after Liu Qing himself killed the White Egret Demon King.

Li Xuanba, standing beside him, was never worried. In his heart, his benefactor was always the most powerful. No matter who the opponent was, his benefactor would always be the one to win in the end.

This blind trust stems from the subtle influence of the incense-wielding supernatural powers.

Liu Qing's clone glanced at it and thought to himself, "When the main body used the Fragrance Transfer Divine Power, it was initially just to replace Li Xuanba's missing Heavenly Soul and awaken him from his coma."

Later, in order to get closer to Li Shimin, he wanted to usurp Li Xuanba's body so that after Li Shimin became emperor, he could bestow upon Li Xuanba the title of king and share some of the royal fortune of the mortal world.

When I was weak, I only thought about improving my strength quickly and acted somewhat recklessly. But now, with the improvement of my strength...

The schemes that were initially used against Li Xuanba have become irrelevant.

Liu Qing is now leaving the incense-transferring magic on Li Xuanba, simply to restore his three souls and seven spirits, so that he will not fall into a coma again.

All other schemes have been completely abandoned.

In the air, accompanied by a clear bird's cry, the White Egret Demon King had already arrived.

With a flap of its wings, countless wind blades instantly attacked.

The wind of the Wind Blade is a black demonic wind, and the blades formed from it are all as sharp as the power of a top-grade magic weapon.

Countless wind blades shot out in dense clusters, a sight that chilled the heart.

Liu Qing made no move, simply standing there, letting the White Egret Demon King's wind blades slash at her.

Dangdang——

After countless metallic clanging sounds, the wind blades shattered from the recoil, but Liu Qing remained completely unharmed, without even a white spot remaining.

After cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to the third revolution, Liu Qing's physical body was already able to ignore even the lowest-grade spiritual treasures.

A mere wind blade, its power no more than that of a top-grade magic weapon, how could it possibly break through Liu Qing's defense?

The White Heron Demon King exclaimed in surprise, quite unexpectedly: "You little demon do have some skills!"

Her gaze turned serious; the strength Liu Qing had demonstrated made her no longer underestimate him.

With a spit from its beak, the White Egret Demon King unleashed the Qi of the Five Elements, which transformed into five Five Elements Mountains. The power of the Five Elements raged forth from these mountains, manifesting as Five Elements attack methods that pressed down upon Liu Qing.

Liu Qing frowned. He had encountered many enemies at the Five Elements Realm, but their attack methods were very limited. Almost all of them would immediately spew out the Five Elements Qi, which would then transform into Five Elements Mountains to attack with the power of the Five Elements.

I've seen it so much that I'm indifferent to it.

Liu Qing was all too familiar with dealing with this kind of attack.

Seeing the White Egret Demon King's Five Elements Power coming at him with great force, Liu Qing listlessly summoned the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone and swept it fiercely.

In an instant, all five elemental attacks—fire crow, tree man, waterfall, earth cone, flying sword, etc.—were swept away.

The White Egret Demon King opposite him paused, his eyes filled with seriousness.

How could this little demon possess such immense strength? It shattered my Five Elements attack with a single spear thrust, and that strangely shaped spear was actually a magical treasure. The combined power of the two attacks was enough to make my scalp tingle.

Is this level of combat power something that someone at the mere Dharma Realm level could possess?

Li Shimin, who was watching the battle with bated breath, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Now I can rest assured, Brother Liu is still the same Brother Liu, who has never let me down.

Knowing it was time for the White Heron Demon Queen to fight with all her might, her demonic energy trembled, revealing her true form as a white heron several meters tall.

Its beak, several feet long, had been refined by demonic energy for hundreds of years, making it as sharp as a low-grade spiritual treasure. The same was true for its pair of claws.

She exhaled the Five Elements Qi from her mouth again, but this time she did not conjure up Five Elements Mountains. Instead, she let the Five Elements Qi swirl above her head, using the Five Elements cycle to protect her body.

The bird's beak and sharp claws serve as its main means of attack, and this combination of offense and defense does not disappoint the reputation of the Demon King.

Unfortunately, her desperate fighting skills at the demon king level were no match for Liu Qing.

The Inspiration King, Black Dragon, and Centipede Dragon, which were several times stronger than it, were all killed by Liu Qing. The White Heron Demon King's current fighting strength is only equivalent to that of Benboerba.

Killing a demon king of this caliber is no challenge.

As Liu Qing suddenly thrust out his spear, amidst a piercing, ghostly wail, the space around the spearhead was shattered by the force of the spear, creating terrifying cracks.

Originally, after the third revolution of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, he already possessed a strength of 500,000 jin. Now that his true form has evolved into a Azure Dragon, his strength has surged once again. Even without the addition of the Strength Master's Talisman, his inherent strength has reached 700,000 to 800,000 jin.

If a strongman adds talismans and is further amplified by the Law of Heaven and Earth, this thrust would likely weigh two to three million jin.

However, the White Egret Demon King is not worthy of such methods.

Having barely recovered from the wailing and howling of the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, the White Egret Demon King saw the force emanating from the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone shatter the space itself.

Her pupils instantly contracted, her heart trembled with fear, and the murderous aura emanating from the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone made her feel as if she were facing death again. The White Egret Demon King let out a piercing scream of terror: "No, don't kill me—"

Liu Qing hated bird monsters more than anything in his life, and remained unmoved. The Panlong Eight-Tone Cone pierced the heart of the White Egret Demon King without any mercy.

After the White Egret Demon King died, his Dharma Realm emerged, and Liu Qing's divine power surged in, transferring the hundreds of years of collection within into his own Power Cave Heaven.

Immediately, a burst of divine power shook the White Egret Demon King's realm, causing it to crumble into nothingness.

The corpse of the White Egret Demon King was also swallowed into the Realm of Authority and Dharma, while its demon soul was thrown into the Yin Jade Spirit Banner, where its consciousness was erased and it was turned into a puppet.

Liu Qing killed, robbed, collected the bodies, and took the puppets—all in a series of actions that took only a few breaths, so fast that even the opposing Sui army camp didn't have time to react.

There's no other reason than practice makes perfect.

After Liu Qing easily killed the White Egret Demon King, the morale of the Tang army soared instantly, while the Sui army on the other side looked utterly dejected.

"who is the next?"

Liu Qing pointed his spear and shouted sharply.

Liu Qing was full of vigor, and the Tang army cheered loudly, which made the Sui soldiers fearful and their morale dropped considerably.

Sui general Wei Wentong felt a chill in his heart. He wasn't too saddened by the death of his White Egret Demon King; he only resented the White Egret Demon King for being so useless, which had caused his side's morale to plummet.

The Tang army's Great Dragon God who can summon clouds and rain is indeed powerful, but he is only one person, so there is not too much to worry about.

The most urgent task now is to boost morale.

"That little devil from the Tang army is too arrogant. Is there anyone among you who is willing to fight and bring back his head for me?"

"If there is any killing, it will be counted as one merit!"

We had just accomplished a minor feat, but now that Liu Qing has demonstrated his combat prowess and intimidated our side, Wei Wentong has no choice but to raise the reward, elevating the minor merit of killing Liu Qing to a medium merit.

One medium-level merit is equivalent to ten minor merits, which is equivalent to being granted the rank of a first-grade god. Such a reward made the demon kings in the Sui army camp tempted.

The Golden Eagle Demon King and his wife, who had initially failed to secure the military order, immediately interjected, "General, don't panic! We, your wife and I, are willing to share your burden!"

"Very well, I have a virtuous wife and I have nothing to worry about."

As he spoke, Wei Wentong stared intently at the female eagle. After the female eagle demon king transformed, her fur was golden and her nose was high and straight, giving her a rather exotic look. He had been envious of her for a long time, but unfortunately the male eagle kept a close eye on her, so he never had a chance.

I only hope that the male eagle dies in this battle, so that my wish can be fulfilled.

Having witnessed Liu Qing's fighting prowess, the golden eagle couple dared not underestimate him. They immediately revealed their true forms, transforming into golden eagles several meters in size, and soared into the air to pounce on Liu Qing.

When they make a move, it's a desperate gamble, a lesson learned from the White Egret Demon King.

The male eagle is larger and uses its sharp claws and teeth as its main attack. The female eagle is slightly weaker, so she spews out the five elements' energy from her mouth, which transforms into a five elements' shield to protect the male eagle.

The golden eagle couple, one specializing in offense and the other in defense, were both demon kings at the fifth level of Qi cultivation. Together, they achieved a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.

Liu Qing still didn't use many tricks, and continued to fight with the Tyrant Dragon Eight-Sound Cone.

However, this time, Liu Qing superimposed the Warrior Talisman on himself.

In an instant, the power of his physical body as a green dragon, combined with the boost from the third revolution of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique and the blessing of the perfected warrior talisman, brought his divine power to a million jin.

With the strength of a million catties, even the giant spirit god of the Heavenly Court was no more than that.

As the male eagle pounced, its claws and teeth bared, Liu Qing casually swept the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, and in the next instant, a huge sonic boom exploded in the middle.

"Master, be careful! This shot is much stronger than before. You can't take it head-on. Retreat quickly!"

The Demon King of the Giant Eagle looked bitter. I also wanted to back away, but it was too late.

Knowing that her man's life or death hung in the balance, the Mother Eagle Demon Queen immediately poured all her demonic energy into the Five Elements Shield to defend herself.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the male eagle demon king also unleashed its ferocity. He left the defense to his wife, while he poured all his demonic energy into his beak and claws.

The bird's beak and claws instantly gleamed with a metallic luster, their sharpness even showing a tendency to surpass that of a low-grade spiritual treasure.

"If I die, you won't get away with it!"

The Demon King of the Eagles roared with bloodshot eyes, but Liu Qing remained unmoved, his spear stance unchanged.

boom--

The million-pound divine force carried by the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone easily shattered the Five Elements Shield of the Female Eagle Demon King, and the momentum of the spear continued to sweep towards the Male Eagle Demon King's main body.

Meanwhile, the giant eagle demon king's claws and beak reached out to grab Liu Qing's body.

clang--

The giant eagle demon king's claws were blocked by Liu Qing's defenses, producing a metallic clang. The Ruyi robe he was wearing was torn, leaving several white spots on his skin.

After the third revolution of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, he could ignore the attacks of low-grade acquired spiritual treasures and withstand the full force of a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure. In addition, he used the Ruyi Robe made from the molted skin of his original form, the serpent, to block the attack. Therefore, the full force of the Gongdiao Demon King only left a few white spots on Liu Qing's body.
