Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 113 Qi Refiner (So beautiful!)

"No, he's dead?"

Liu Sheng stood there, stunned, for a long time before he came to his senses.

Despite his disdain for the four-horned goat demon, his previous battle had completely exhausted him.

This shows how powerful this monster is.

Although he was thrown from the clouds and lost most of his life, he could still easily kill the great monster.

As a result, he died with a single sword strike.

"This woman, she successfully broke through?"

Liu Sheng's heart stirred slightly, and his vision suddenly went dark. All the strange phenomena he had witnessed vanished like bubbles.

The full moon in the sky was cold and clear, the surrounding fields were gloomy and obscure, the mountain wind howled, carrying a strong, fishy smell and...

It smells like lamb!
A figure arrived, treading on frost and snow, riding the wind, her robes fluttering, like a fairy emerging from the moon.

Her hair was styled in a fairy-like bun, she wore a plain silk robe, her jade-like face reflected the cold light, her red lips held a hint of cinnabar, her figure swayed gracefully, and her lotus-like steps exuded fragrance; she was breathtakingly beautiful.

How come this woman... has become so much prettier?

Liu Sheng's breath hitched; he was utterly astonished.

He had thoroughly studied, handled, and mastered it inside and out, so he was extremely familiar with it. Why did he suddenly feel a sense of unfamiliarity?

Could this be the attraction brought about by the leap in the level of living beings after the breakthrough?
His eyes darted around, then he suddenly grinned and shouted:
"Hey, fairy, wanna cultivate together?"

In mid-air, Fairy Tayue stumbled and almost fell, her face flushed, and she raised her hand to unleash a sword light.

"Oh!"

Liu Sheng was sent flying and crashed into a cliff face, covered in dust.

But he immediately acted as if nothing had happened, got up, dusted himself off, and smirked with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth:

"If it's not suitable for repair, then it's not suitable for repair. Why bother with physical violence?"

The sword light that appeared to be incredibly powerful was actually an illusion; its force was just right, protecting him and neutralizing the recoil from the cliff face.

Not a penny more, not a penny less.

Just right.

His control over force was unparalleled.

Most importantly, this test also confirmed Du Bingyan's attitude.

As she broke through her cultivation level and advanced to become a Qi Refiner, the gap between the two not only widened in their life levels but also in their social status.

It cannot be ruled out that she will erase her past stains and prevent future troubles.

This is human nature, and it has nothing to do with good or bad.

Fortunately, this woman was alright; she didn't abandon me after I helped her.

"This monster has the bloodline of the Xie Zhi, yet you managed to severely injure it..."

Du Bingyan landed, looked Liu Sheng up and down, and looked puzzled.

She has now entered the Dao and laid the foundation, making great progress in her cultivation. True Qi and divine sense have arisen within her body, and she has reached a state of keen observation of things.

But this young man before me...

His skin is tough, his bones and muscles are dense, and his blood and qi are vast, even surpassing some true martial arts masters, but he has neither true blood nor true qi in his body.

No matter how you look at it, he's just a visceral martial arts master!

How could a martial arts master with internal organs severely injure a demon, a demon with the bloodline of the Xie Zhi, and make it flee in a sorry state?
Even at her peak, she might not be able to do that.

How did he do that?
What secrets is this guy hiding?
"It wasn't me, it was a demonic bird that fought it."

Liu Sheng vehemently denied it, then quickly changed the subject:
"You broke through?"

"Not bad, you have fortunately forged a superior Dao foundation and successfully entered the Dao."

Du Bingyan nodded, staring at Liu Sheng with a complex expression, and whispered:
"Thanks to you..."

The previous joint cultivation not only fully healed her mental wounds, but also triggered an opportunity for her to break through to the Dao Realm.

Now, she is a genuine Qi cultivator.

After returning to the mountain, a simple verification is all that is needed to be listed as a true disciple.

All previous worries have vanished.

Strength is the greatest source of confidence.

Liu Sheng shrugged and asked about his next plans.

They had been sneaking around before because they were too weak and feared Xie Bao would silence them.

Now that Du Bingyan's cultivation has greatly improved and her strength is no less than that of the Demon-Subduing General, there is no need for her to do so anymore.

It can even...

"Naturally, we'll return to the city."

She snorted coldly, her fair face contorted with malice, her eyes flashing with a chilling light:
"Seek justice!" Is this a confrontation with Xie Bao?
Not bad, not bad. This will reduce the pressure on Master.

Liu Sheng's eyes flickered, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although he had witnessed Wu Song's demeanor, Liu Sheng still subconsciously worried about him.

After all, the imperial court had dispatched eight demon-slaying generals and 300,000 troops to encircle and suppress them.

These are just the visible experts; the number of hidden masters is countless.

Besides, there are countless other monsters lurking deep within Black Wind Mountain.

Even if Master is incredibly strong, how long can he last alone with his sword?
Moreover, members of the White Lotus Sect also got involved, their intentions unclear, adding many variables.

The situation is getting increasingly chaotic.

We need to strengthen our capabilities as soon as possible.

When I get back, I'll work hard to harvest spiritual points and upgrade my remaining three avatars to the demon level!

The wealthy and powerful families in the inner city have hoarded quite a few antique items...

"Ok?"

Just then, the two of them looked in the same direction at the same time.

A group of more than a dozen White Lotus Army soldiers came over mountains and through forests, emerging from the darkness of night.

Sensing the great battle here, and worried that something might happen to the four-horned goat demon, they hurried over.

Ultimately, we arrived too late.

"Cult members and heretics!"

Du Bingyan's face contorted with rage, her teeth clenched, and her figure blurred instantly.

The next moment, she appeared among the White Lotus Army.

"choke!"

As the longsword was drawn, frost surged from the ground, its powerful energy flowing like water, rippling and reflecting the full moon in the sky.

In an instant, a moon seemed to rise in the void, its radiance enveloping the surrounding area.

The elite members of the White Lotus Sect fell into a daze, their visions filled with illusions, lost in the vast moonlight.

They only awoke with a start when wisps of sword energy swept past and slit their throats, but it was too late; blood gushed forth uncontrollably.

Moments later, the scene was littered with corpses, lying haphazardly in pools of blood, with no survivors.

The corpse had few wounds, with only a red mark on its throat, but the muscles, bones, trachea, and tissues beneath the skin had long been pulverized by the sword energy.

Crush!

A complete and utter crushing defeat!
Qi cultivators generate true qi within their bodies, and their moves are imbued with divine intent, making them impossible for ordinary martial artists to withstand.

"They were a bit too ruthless; they didn't leave any survivors."

Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat disappointed.

This group was clearly after the four-horned sheep demon from before, and judging from the golden lotus on their breastplates, they were closely connected to the White Lotus Sect.

Moreover, they are elite troops!

Now that Qingyuan Cave is about to be revealed, the appearance of this group of White Lotus Sect elites in Black Wind Mountain, could it be that they are here for Qingyuan Cave?

In addition, the Wu family and the White Lotus Sect are also involved in Shanyang County. Is there any connection between the two?
Unfortunately, that woman killed them all.

I wonder why she has such a deep grudge against the White Lotus Sect...

Absolutely irreconcilable.

Oh, is it because of me?

Then it'll be fine.

"Return to the Demon Suppression Division."

Du Bingyan sheathed her sword, and as she passed Liu Sheng, she suddenly paused:
"I'll borrow your storage bag for a moment. Take these White Lotus Army soldiers and the head of that sheep demon back with you."

Is this a demonstration to intimidate those who dare to resist?

Liu Sheng followed orders, stepped forward, beheaded, and removed the head. After finishing, he suddenly spoke:
"My master..."

Before he could finish speaking, Du Bingyan interrupted him, turning away and saying softly:

"You have a master? Didn't you have family martial arts skills and later learn the 'Green Snake Sword Manual' from someone else?"

"Ah...yes."

Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows and curled up the corners of his mouth.

He looked up at the sky and saw the morning star shining in the east.

The night grew deeper,

But it's almost light.
