Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

A puppet is just a puppet after all. After its memories are erased, it fights only on instinct. Without a physical body, how can it possibly be a match for the five demon saints with just its soul?

If it weren't for the numerous Five Qi Realm puppets left behind by Liu Qing, the five Three Flower Realm demon saints in the Sui army alone could have reversed the battle.

In addition, a mad monkey appeared in the Sui army camp. Liu Qing frowned as he looked at it and saw that the mad monkey's appearance, weapon, and cultivation were exactly the same as the one he had subdued before.

They are all in the form of golden monkeys, each holding a stick, possessing the Daoist cultivation of refining emptiness and merging with the Dao, and all have astonishing divine power.

His overall combat strength is not weaker than that of a Five Qi Realm Demon King, and only slightly weaker than that of a Three Flower Realm Demon Saint.

Liu Qing was surprised. Where did such an identical crazy monkey come from?
His divine sense looked at his own power cave, where the mad monkey he had subdued before was still buried in the ground, but another one had appeared outside.

Liu Qing looked westward.

It is impossible for two monkeys to be exactly alike in the world. If there is anything strange, then the strangeness must originate from the foot of the Five Finger Mountain in the west.

Liu Qing decided that after this battle, he would take some time to visit Wuzhi Mountain.

A black wolf that had cultivated into a demon saint revealed its true form, transforming into a gigantic wolf tens of feet tall and hundreds of feet long at the head and tail, roaring as it charged towards the Tang army.

Beside it, three puppets at the Fifth Qi Realm—Tiger Power Immortal, Sheep Power Immortal, and Deer Power Immortal—desperately tried to stop it.

Although the three Tiger Power Immortals possessed intelligence, they were merely souls; how could they possibly be a match for the Black Wolf Demon Saint?

Just as the Black Wolf Demon Saint was about to break through the blockade and rampage through the Tang army camp, Liu Qing snorted coldly.

He immediately descended from the clouds, and halfway down, he used the "Heaven and Earth Transformation" technique, transforming into a hundred-foot giant, with the coiled dragon eight-tone cone in his hand also growing larger.

"court death!--"

Liu Qing's Panlong Eight-Tone Cone crashed down from above, carrying a force of over a million, making a thunderous roar like the collapse of the sky.

Listening to his teacher, Daoist Yu Yu, preach the Dao, Liu Qing comprehended supernatural powers. What was originally just an introductory level of the Great Supernatural Power of Manifesting Heaven and Earth has now been partially mastered.

With the aid of his supernatural powers alone, Liu Qing possessed a strength of over a million. As the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone passed by, black cracks exploded from the space.

The Black Wolf Demon Saint looked up and his pupils shrank instantly. He sensed a great danger of death and immediately used all his strength to control the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit on his head and shoulders, which transformed into towering structures and set up three barriers.

Unfortunately, Liu Qing was now displaying his ferocity, and the Black Wolf Demon Saint could not stop him with his hasty attack.

The Panlong Eight-Tone Cone descended, shattering the divine flower, smashing the qi flower, and piercing through the essence flower, its momentum undiminished, heading straight for the Black Wolf Demon Saint's true form.

Hearing the cries of ghosts and howls of gods, the Black Wolf Demon Saint was filled with fear and felt enveloped by a murderous aura, instantly losing all courage.

It sensed that death was imminent, and on its deathbed, it could only let out a mournful howl to vent its fear.

puff--

The black wolf, which was dozens of feet tall, was smashed in half by Liu Qing. The enormous force even sent the black wolf demon saint's body, which had been broken in two, flying several miles away.

Liu Qing's single strike killed the most powerful Black Wolf Demon Saint in the Sui army camp. Such ferocity caused the mortal soldiers, demons, mountain gods, and local deities in the Sui army camp to turn pale and unable to hide their fear.

Meanwhile, the morale of the Tang army soared instantly.

Countless Tang soldiers, brandishing their blood-stained swords and spears, roared, "Great Dragon God is mighty! Great Dragon God is mighty!"

Li Shimin was also visibly excited, but as a leader, his brief excitement quickly subsided, and he immediately seized the opportunity, pointing his long spear at the Sui army camp: "Brothers, charge with me!"

The Tang army surged toward the Sui army camp like a floodgate being opened.

Liu Qing then reached out and grabbed the corpse of the Black Wolf Demon Saint, throwing it into the Power Cave Heaven. He then gave its demon soul to the Yin Jade Spirit Banner to erase its consciousness and turn it into a puppet.

After the Black Wolf Demon Saint died completely, he released his divine sense to find his Dharma Realm, and then transferred all the treasures that the Black Wolf Demon Saint had accumulated over hundreds and thousands of years to his own Power Cave Heaven.

Then, Liu Qing flicked his finger, and a hundred-foot-long water chain instantly rose from the Wei River, which was more than ten miles away, sweeping away the remaining four Three-Flower Realm demon saints and the mad monkey from the Sui army camp.

At this point, only a few mountain gods and local deities remained in the Sui army camp, and these were left to be dealt with by the demon soul puppets and their clones.

Liu Qing took a step forward and faced four Three-Flower Realm Demon Saints and a mad monkey.

As early as when they were trapped, Liu Qing had instructed the Six Immortals of Thorns to set up a maze. At this moment, the four demon saints and a mad monkey were running around aimlessly inside the maze.

With their level of cultivation, after the initial panic, the maze set up by the Six Immortals of Thorns could not hold them for long.

But that was enough time for Liu Qing to get rid of them.

The four demon saints revealed their true forms and made a desperate show of fighting. They were a hundred-foot-long moose, a giant python, a roe deer, and a six-tailed fox.

Each of them has three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit floating above its head. Within the petals of these three flowers are top-grade magical artifacts that have been refined over hundreds or thousands of years. These artifacts were crafted by their own minions and are considered their natal demonic weapons. Their power is no less than that of acquired spiritual treasures.

These four demon saints are just ordinary, their talents are not very good, so their three flowers are all ordinary essence, energy and spirit three flowers.

Liu Qing ignored the mad monkey and instead targeted the four demon saints first.

Mad Monkey was mad to begin with. He had brute strength but could not break through the maze set up by the Six Immortals of Thorns. He had become fish on the chopping block.

The Moose Demon Saint used its three essences—energy, spirit, and soul—to protect itself, and then manipulated the multi-pronged fork, a top-grade magical artifact formed from the moose antlers of its true form, which was nurtured within the three essences, to stab towards Liu Qing.

The giant python demon saint was most afraid of death, so he coiled up into a hundred-zhang snake mountain, buried his head at the bottom of the snake mountain, leaving only the snake tail outside. His essence, energy, and spirit merged into the snake tail, which was like a steel whip, and lashed at Liu Qing.

The six-tailed fox demon saint, following the example of the deer demon saint, used the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit to protect its body. Five of the six fox tails on its body manifested as hundreds of feet long, winding and twisting in the void, restricting Liu Qing's movement range, and ready to entangle Liu Qing at any time.

The remaining fox tail quietly burrowed into the ground.

Instead of seeking victory, he prioritized escaping for his life. This six-tailed fox demon saint, true to his fox clan origins, was both cunning and treacherous, valuing his life above all else.

Liu Qing planned to finish the battle quickly.

The law of heaven and earth remains unchanged, and he then unleashed his serpentine talent, transforming into a two-headed, four-armed being. Immediately afterward, he added the newly acquired, basic three-headed, six-armed great supernatural power to his serpentine talent, instantly transforming him into a hundred-foot giant with three heads and eight arms.

Among his eight arms, he wielded a magical dragon-shaped eight-tone cone, a mountain-driving whip, and a nine-petaled red copper hammer.

Furthermore, with the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique activated, the perfected level of the Warrior's Divine Power was awakened, instantly giving Liu Qing a strength of nearly two million jin. Liu Qing roared, his eight arms gripping two spiritual treasures in pairs, and smashed them towards the demon saint opposite him. Instantly, space shattered, and the force was terrifying.

The remaining deer demon saint was blasted black by the water mines spewed out by Liu Qing's three heads, and screamed and roared incessantly.

After fighting the four demon saints for several rounds, Liu Qing found that although he was going all out, they were also fighting back desperately. After a fierce battle, they were evenly matched and it was hard to tell who was better.

If anyone else could achieve such a feat, fighting four opponents while maintaining the initiative and overcoming two realms of difference, they would surely be extremely proud.

But Liu Qing was not satisfied. Since his birth, he had always fought across borders. Now he was full of spiritual treasures, talents, and supernatural powers. Moreover, he was the representative of the Jie Sect in the human world. How could he not defeat four demon saints?
Faced with the relentless attacks of the four demon saints, accompanied by powerful demonic arts, Liu Qing's eyes and expression remained uncertain as he pondered a way to achieve a swift victory.

The Moose Demon Saint was a mile away, with his three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit floating around him, resisting the ghostly wails and innate killing aura of Liu Qing's Panlong Eight-Tone Cone.

Suddenly, its front hooves bent slightly, and its hind hooves slammed into the ground, instantly activating its innate collision ability.

The multi-pronged fork, the natal demonic weapon formed from the deer's antlers, was suddenly enveloped by a huge moose phantom. With a deafening roar, it leaped up and charged at Liu Qing.

At the same time, the giant python demon saint quietly raised its head from the bottom of Snake Mountain, opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of black water that emitted a strong stench. Any rocks and trees that splashed onto it were immediately corroded.

This black water is the venom from the giant python demon saint's body. Although this snake venom attack method is not a demonic art or talent, its terrifying nature is in no way inferior.

Meanwhile, the Deer Demon Saint, who had been bombarded by Liu Qing's water mines, suddenly turned its rear end towards Liu Qing and sprayed a cloud of yellow smoke from its lower body scrotum, following closely behind the Moose Demon Saint and the Giant Python Demon Saint, blowing towards Liu Qing.

The poisonous smoke from this roe deer demon saint may seem light and weak, but it is extremely vicious. Even just a whiff of it can cause a person's body to dissolve without them realizing it, turning them into a skeleton.

Seeing that the three great demon saints had all used their best techniques, the six-tailed fox demon saint's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he no longer held back.

Immediately, it let out a strange fox cry, and waves of sound swept towards Liu Qing. Liu Qing had no time to dodge, and in an instant, images of alluring women appeared in his mind, making various seductive gestures towards him.

Liu Qing wanted to laugh.

A soul originating from later generations has nothing to fear from attacks like those of a six-tailed fox.

Back in the day, Liu Qing's computer had a 1TB hard drive full of practical content from teachers of all ages.

Now, that six-tailed fox demon saint can only use his innate fox cry to conjure up a few alluring women in his mind and pose them in a few ways. Tsk tsk, this level is not even comparable to the teachers, let alone the borderline streamers on Douyin.

Liu Qing finally couldn't help but chuckle, "Using this to test cadres?"

He was about to use the Shangqing Immortal Technique to sweep away the images of those alluring women from his mind, but then a thought crossed his mind and he didn't do it.

Just now I was thinking about how to quickly defeat these four demon saints. Why not take this opportunity to pretend that I am in a dream world and be taken advantage of by women?

Liu Qing immediately feigned a panicked expression, a blank stare, and the appearance of someone who was unaware of their own depravity.

The six-tailed fox demon was overjoyed and cried out, "Brothers, this scoundrel has been bewitched by my illusion and is completely unaware of it. Why don't you kill him quickly?"

The three demon saints—the moose demon saint, the giant python demon saint, and the roe deer demon saint—were instantly overjoyed, frantically unleashing their demonic energy and channeling it into their attack techniques.

In an instant, the moose demon saint's charge ability transformed into an even larger phantom, the giant python demon saint's venom became even more potent, and the roe deer's poisonous smoke grew even denser.

Just as the four demon saints were expecting Liu Qing to perish, suddenly, the moose phantom crashed into nothingness, the snake venom splashed onto the ground, corroding a large pit, while the poisonous smoke floated futilely in the air.

Liu Qing has disappeared.

It turned out that Liu Qing first used the Shangqing Immortal Technique to clear the six-tailed fox demon saint's fox cry talent, and then used the perfected level of the Wind Transformation Divine Power to transform into a wisp of wind and escape from the gap in the attack.

He then used his supernatural power of controlling size to shrink the breeze countless times, making it as gentle as a breeze around his finger, so as not to be discovered.

As it crept closer to the Moose Demon Saint, it suddenly materialized, its coiled dragon eight-tone cone piercing the Moose Demon Saint's heart before it could react.

Immediately, the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone twisted and shredded the heart of the Moose Demon Saint along with its other organs.

Regardless of the outcome, Liu Qing unfurled his fiery wings and appeared before the giant python demon saint in a flash. Facing the python, which was coiled into a snake mountain and spewing venom from its open mouth, Liu Qing directly entered its mouth. He raised the Panlong Bayin Cone in his hand and, while escaping into the giant python demon saint's belly, used the Panlong Bayin Cone to slash open its skin.

With a whoosh, countless intestines and organs from the giant python demon saint's body slid out from the torn belly, spilling out in a colorful mess on the ground, emitting a foul stench.

The giant python demon saint instantly lost all its strength, collapsed to the ground, and involuntarily rolled and twisted, emitting a series of shrill screams.

With a flash of his dust-removing technique, Liu Qing cleansed his body of the snake blood, then threw the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone in his hand at the Deer Demon Saint.

Seeing Liu Qing kill two of his companions, the Deer Demon Saint was already like a frightened bird. Now, seeing the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone being thrown at him, he had no courage to resist at all.

It narrowly dodged the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone and ran off into the distance, but forgot that it was in a maze. After going around in circles, it found itself back in the same place.

Waiting in the same spot was Liu Qing, who was holding a coiled dragon eight-tone cone.

Just as the Deer Demon Saint was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, pleading for his life with Liu Qing in front of him, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out behind him, and the Mountain-Driving Whip fell down, smashing the Deer Demon Saint's head.

Liu Qing took a step forward and arrived in front of the Six-Tailed Fox Demon Saint.

The six-tailed fox demon saint swallowed hard and immediately transformed into the appearance of a beautiful woman, kneeling gracefully in front of Liu Qing, putting on a pitiful look.

"Master, please spare my life. I'll do anything to save my life."

The woman, transformed from the six-tailed fox demon saint, was charming and alluring, wearing only a light veil that subtly revealed her various exquisite features, making her extremely seductive.

"You vixen, you know perfectly well that your seduction won't work on me, so why bother?"

Even with Fox Cry's talent, it was useless just now. Now, if it were me, it would be even less effective. The Six-Tailed Fox Demon Saint is cunning by nature. He is not begging for my life, but is stalling for time.

Liu Qing smiled, thinking of the sixth fox tail that had secretly burrowed underground earlier: "Did you find a way out underground?"

Are you curious about how the soil beneath has turned into something like steel?

"I might as well tell you, this is my divine power, the art of turning the earth into steel!"

The six-tailed fox demon saint's expression changed instantly. He closed his eyes and sensed the surroundings, and sure enough, he discovered that the fox tail that had escaped was still futilely searching for a way out, while all the soil that could escape underground was blocked by a layer of steel.
