Chapter 124 The Third Thunder Talisman

massacre!

After changing the "Controlling Soldiers Technique" to the "Soldier's Secret" and mastering the killing weapons in the Demon Subduing Diagram, Wu Ming's blood-red flying sword moved freely deep underground, almost unmatched. Wherever the blood light reached, rat demons were annihilated without any power to resist.

Like a tidal wave, rat demons surged into the passage one after another, including some large, non-demon rats, but they could not affect Wu Ming in the slightest.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The squeaking of the rat demons continued, with very few screams, because with a flash of blood, their heads were either pierced or severed. Only a few rat demons that were cut in half at the waist did not die instantly, but let out a series of miserable hisses.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Ming slaughtered nearly a hundred rat demons, as well as thousands of giant rats that were transforming into rat demons. The entire underground passage was almost filled with the corpses of rat demons.

at last,

Sensing that no more rat demons were approaching, Wu Ming turned his flying sword around and attacked the white-haired rat demon he had attacked first.

The white-haired rat demon had already realized the situation was bad when it saw Wu Ming's flying sword sweeping across and slaughtering all directions. It wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but as Wu Ming's flying sword killed all kinds of rat demons, a killing intent and soul power always locked onto it, making it no chance to escape.

Seeing Wu Ming's flying sword turn and point at it, a trace of fear finally flashed in the white-haired rat demon's eyes. It tried its best to put up a final resistance, but to no avail.

The flying sword flashed.

The white-haired rat demon's head was severed!
"call."

Having dealt with the white-haired rat demon, Wu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, having resolved yet another calamity posed by a demon.

He had done his best to eliminate the demons. Firstly, eliminating demons would earn him merit; secondly, this was a task assigned to him by Liu Muyuan, so he couldn't be careless; and thirdly, he couldn't bear to watch these demons wreak havoc in the city.

Now, after using the white-haired rat demons to massacre a large area underground, there may still be some scattered rat demons that survive, but they are just a few big cats and small cats, and they are not much of a threat.

Store the flying sword in the Demon-Subduing Realm.

Wu Ming regained control of the Star Luo Thorn and began dealing with the corpses of the demon rats scattered on the ground.

……

Time flies.

More than ten days have passed since Wu Ming took action to eliminate the demon.

Over the past ten days, he used his soul perception to patrol the area every night, and successively dealt with two three-transformation centipede demons, one three-transformation white-haired rat demon, and one three-transformation snake demon, accumulating 117,000 merit points!
The harvest was extremely bountiful!

Such a large amount of merit may seem exaggerated, but in reality, only Wu Ming could achieve this. If it were an ordinary martial arts patrol officer who had achieved three blood coagulations, it would be difficult to find the monsters lurking in the city, and even if they did find them, they might not be able to capture them.

Ordinary martial artists have no way to deal with creatures like the White-haired Rat Demon, which lurk deep in underground caves. Only Wu Ming, who uses Taoist magic to control his weapon, can penetrate deep into the underground caves and eliminate it.

"117,000... If we include the remaining merits from before, the total has exceeded 130,000."

Wu Ming walked out of the building, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Merit points are something you can never have too much of. After all, as long as you have enough merit points, you will have a constant supply of various resources during your cultivation process. Even a genius like Wang Wuzheng, who comes from a prestigious family, would find it difficult to enjoy such luxury.

His blood clotting aptitude wasn't actually that high, especially at the third stage of blood clotting, when it began to show signs of decline. But if his aptitude wasn't high enough, he could make up for it with resources. With a large supply of resources, his blood clotting progress wouldn't be much worse than others.

Leave the Censorate.

Wu Ming turned back home.

"Sir, you are back."

Back in the backyard, the maid Xiaomei was busy at work. Upon seeing Wu Ming, she quickly bowed.

Wu Ming waved his hand, telling Xiao Mei to brew a pot of blood grass tea, and then returned to his bedroom.

For the past ten days or so, he had been dealing with the demonic calamity, but his cultivation had not lagged behind. Now, the second thunder talisman of the Divine Firmament Upper Purity Talisman was almost perfected, and he could try to refine the third thunder talisman. Each time a thunder talisman of the Divine Firmament Upper Purity Talisman was successfully refined, the power of the released thunder magic would increase. Wu Ming was very satisfied with this thunder magic and had long looked forward to the power of the third thunder talisman after it was successfully refined.

Like before, when he struck the white-haired rat demon with a lightning spell, the three-transformation rat demon did not die. In fact, because the monster itself has a vitality and defense that are far stronger than that of humans, the damage caused by that lightning spell was not significant. Unless it is like when dealing with a centipede demon, where you first pierce its body and then detonate the power of the lightning spell from its body, it is difficult to directly kill a great demon.

However, according to Wu Ming's judgment, if he were to master the third thunder talisman of the Divine Firmament Upper Purity Talisman, the situation would be different. At that time, the power of thunder magic would be further enhanced, and even a three-transformation great demon would be severely injured if it took a hit!

This thunder technique is, after all, an ancient secret technique, and is a very high-level art. Moreover, his primordial spirit is powerful, and he is now almost at the peak of the third refinement stage. If he refines three more thunder talismans, he will basically bring this thunder technique to the extreme of the third refinement stage.

Back in his bedroom, Wu Ming sat quietly for a while.

Soon, Xiaomei brought over the blood herb tea. He sat at the long table, slowly sipping the tea, and gestured for Xiaomei to leave. After finishing the pot of blood herb tea and replenishing his blood energy, he went to the bed and sat cross-legged in meditation.

As the soul's thoughts arose, the Divine Firmament Upper Purity Talisman was activated. Instantly, two different thunder talisman patterns flickered within the depths of the entire primordial spirit, intertwining and connecting with each other. The first thunder talisman pattern could be seen as dazzling as starlight, and the second thunder talisman pattern was also extremely dazzling.

Wu Ming used his thunder magic to refine the two thunder talismans together. After confirming that the second thunder talisman had indeed reached perfection, he finally took a deep breath, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Then, with a thought, he condensed the third thunder talisman.

Splat! Splat!

The third thunder talisman of the Divine Firmament Upper Purity Talisman is different from the previous two. The pattern is more complex, and the interwoven secret patterns are more mysterious. As soon as it condenses and takes shape, it causes wisps of electric arcs to flash and intertwine in the void.

Having the experience of inscribing thunder talismans twice before, Wu Ming was quite familiar with the process. However, he knew that this third thunder talisman was no ordinary one. Once it was inscribed into his primordial spirit, it would resonate with the first two thunder talismans, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to unleash an even more intense thunderous force that would bombard his primordial spirit. He had to withstand the bombardment of this thunder in order to successfully refine the third thunder talisman.

Although Wu Ming was confident in his abilities with the Linzi Technique as the core, he still needed to be more cautious in refining the third Thunder Talisman.

at last,

After circulating the incantation several times and calming his mind, Wu Ming adjusted himself to his best state. Then, with the guidance of his soul, he introduced the third thunder talisman into the interior of his primordial spirit, instantly imprinting it deep within it.

Almost at the very moment the third thunder talisman was inscribed, the first two thunder talismans imprinted deep within his primordial spirit naturally brightened, transforming into strands of secret patterns that intertwined with each other and then connected to the newly imprinted third thunder talisman.

Splat! Splat! !
The three thunder talismans intertwined, seemingly forming a small perfect circle. In an instant, they drew upon the power of heaven and earth surrounding Wu Ming's body, causing a noticeable change. In a flash, electricity crackled in the void, with strands of electric arcs intertwining and spreading.

This electric arc was much more pronounced than before. After a brief spread, it immediately headed towards Wu Ming's primordial spirit and resonated with the three thunder talismans engraved inside Wu Ming's primordial spirit, causing lightning to burst forth within Wu Ming's primordial spirit in an instant!
Thunder is one of the most domineering forces in the world.

To wield the power of thunder, one must first withstand its might. If one cannot withstand it, then one is not qualified to wield this power. This is not a flaw of the Divine Firmament Upper Purity Register, but rather a rule of heaven and earth.

In that instant, Wu Ming felt as if he had been plunged into a vast ocean of thunder, with howling lightning all around him. Every thought that arose in his mind would be instantly shattered by the lightning.

"Amazing……"

Although from the outside, Wu Ming's primordial spirit floated out of his body, and only some intertwined lightning was spread over it, it did not seem to be very scary. It was far less terrifying than the thunder that actually erupted in the heavens.

The problem is that the primordial spirit is of the yin element and is inherently restrained by lightning. Even a small amount of lightning can cause great damage. Not to mention that Wu Ming inscribed the lightning talisman into the primordial spirit, which is equivalent to combining internal and external forces, allowing the power of lightning to permeate every corner of the primordial spirit. This kind of power is naturally even more terrifying.

If an ordinary cultivator who has undergone the third stage of primordial spirit refinement were to forcibly refine this third thunder talisman without sufficient strength in the essence of their primordial spirit, they would not be able to withstand such thunderous power. Even if they did not die, their soul would suffer severe damage.

Even with Wu Ming's powerful primordial spirit, refined day and night through the Linzi Technique, he was still severely struck by the lightning power summoned by the third lightning talisman. He felt his thoughts constantly shattering, as if an invisible hand was frantically tearing at his consciousness.

It hurts so much.
So difficult.
How terrifying!
Various distracting thoughts emerged amidst the struggle, even some contemplating giving up, but Wu Ming's true self remained unshaken, suppressing those distracting thoughts one by one and maintaining the stability of his primordial spirit.

After an unknown amount of time, the texture of the third thunder talisman gradually seeped into the core of the primordial spirit, completely merging with the first two thunder talismans.

Just as the three lightning talismans connected and stabilized completely, the chaotic lightning that had been constantly growing inside and outside Wu Ming's primordial spirit finally gradually disappeared.

"call……"

As the pain subsided, Wu Ming slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was calm and still, with faint arcs of lightning seemingly intertwining and reflecting deep within his pupils.

At this moment, he felt that his primordial spirit was stronger than ever before. If he could go back to a few days ago when he went deep into the underground cave to deal with the rat demon, Wu Ming felt that he would not need to use the "Soldier's Technique" or weapons of war. He could still sweep away the demon horde and eliminate the rat demon with the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique!
