The Magic Lamp Ability: Starting with One Person in the Republic of China Era

"Spirit control and command! Never before have I so desperately wanted to acquire someone else's skill." Zhou Ming said coldly, looking at the mentally broken Gu Fu Changshou.

Takeshita Akira and the others who had just entered stopped in their tracks and held their breath. As Blood Demon Soldiers, they could clearly sense that their master was not hiding anything at all, and was even actively exposing his violent blood demon power.

It exuded a billowing aura of malevolence, filling the entire basement like a viscous liquid, making those who could sense it feel suffocated.

The perceptive Nomura Jiichi had already woken up and was looking at Zhou Ming with a sweaty face.

He felt that this was not a person, but a tiger like a demon, flowing with viscous fluids like blood, which gathered into a pool of blood at his feet.

This was entirely due to the illusion that Nomura Jiichi saw after his soul was injured and invaded by evil energy.

"Nomura Jiichi! I've finally caught you." Zhou Ming's eerie voice rang out, and a blood-red triangular rune appeared in his hand, which he threw into Gu Fu Changshou's body.

"Boom!" A glazed flame ignited in Zhou Ming's palm and was flung onto Gu Fu Changshou.

It suddenly burst into flames, instantly killing Gu Fu Changshou. Everything he possessed was plundered and devoured by Zhou Ming.

The remaining corpses were burned to powder by the Samadhi Fire.

This gruesome death, leaving no trace of his body, made Nomura Jiichi's heart pound like a drum, shaking him to his core and making it difficult for him to concentrate.

"Zhou Ming, I was just following orders, please spare my life..." Nomura Jiichi said weakly, enduring the pain in his soul.

Zhou Ming walked over to Nomura Jiichi, reached out and grabbed his throat, stopping him from speaking.

"I don't want to hear your nonsense." Zhou Ming stretched out his other hand, and a crystal card appeared, with the phantom image of the Divine Archer on it.

He slapped the card towards Nomura Jiichi, and the card instantly merged into Nomura Jiichi's body.

In that instant, a dramatic change occurred within Nomura Jiichi's body, and the damage to his soul intensified into even greater pain.

Nomura Jiichi's face contorted as he tried to struggle, but his body was held in place by the stone, and his exposed head was being held down by Zhou Ming's large hand, making it impossible for him to move.

Hachiman was launched out, hovering around Nomura Jiichi, and then violently twisting and fluctuating around him.

The fate of a celestial child is a mutation of the soul, which can be tentatively called a soul talent.

The fusion of card spirits is a deep-seated process, and the two naturally have a profound connection.

The Archer and Hachiman are highly compatible, as both possess archery-related abilities.

The ability of spirit originates from the mask of the god. Hachiman is the god of archery. These two extremely similar points greatly enhance the fusion between the two.

Therefore, the moment the Divine Archer card spirit merged into Nomura Jiichi's body, it caused a change in Hachiman.

The card spirit began to almost devour and fuse with Hachiman, greatly enhancing the Archer's abilities.

This leap and change in ability immediately activates the card inheritance mechanism, updating and recording the transformation of the ability.

At this moment, Nomura Jiichi gained a deeper understanding of the essence of Hachiman's abilities and incorporated this insight into his cards.

The knowledge gained from the archery manuals studied and comprehended by the previous generation of wandering knights also surfaced in Nomura Jiichi's mind.

When the two collided, Nomura Jiichi suddenly ignored his own pain and changes, falling into a state of unease.

Zhou Ming immediately noticed the changes within Nomura Jiichi's body, or rather, the changes in the spirit level of the Divine Archer card.

Releasing the hand that was choking him, Zhou Ming narrowed his eyes, simultaneously experiencing a moment of enlightenment and gaining all the knowledge within.

"Has he been provoked?" Zhou Ming suddenly raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself.

During this moment of enlightenment, Nomura Jiichi frequently delved into the realm of the soul, seemingly stimulated by the damage to his soul.

But regardless of whether it's the power of Hachiman or the abilities inherent in the wandering knight, none of them have a proper soul realm; instead, they only touch upon the mind.

This became the breakthrough point. Nomura Jiichi quickly comprehended a set of techniques in a state of enlightenment, a set of techniques that were not much different from his original abilities.

[Heart Arrow Fly Target]

The ability to condense Qi with one's mind, transform it into a bow and arrow, and shoot out Qi arrows is something that both Nomura Jiichi and the Divine Archer can do, but one relies on a fairy child and the other relies on a spiritual essence.

This technique can be mastered and is available now, in addition to the Mind Arrow.

When the mind and Qi are highly unified, one can cultivate a disc similar to that of Hachiman.

“This technique is just an integration for him, an overall improvement, with the addition of a mental arrow.” Zhou Ming looked at Nomura Jiichi in front of him and understood.

"But for others, it is a very powerful and advanced technique."

"Not bad. If my child didn't have fire abilities, this would be a decent cultivation method." Zhou Ming thought to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly.

“Iron Warrior, Heart Arrow Fly Target, Thunder Ring Technique, Divine Thought God-Making Technique, Seven Aperture Spirit Lamp Wonderful Method… and Blazing Fire Body Burning, I already possess six unique inherited techniques. Even if my descendants do not have fire abilities, they can still choose one from these.” Zhou Ming thought to himself.

As for the Blood Demon Curse, its aftereffects are too great, and no one else has the ability to eliminate them.

Nomura Jiichi opened his eyes, a hint of surprise in them. He turned his head slightly, glancing behind him out of the corner of his eye.

When Zhou Ming saw Nomura Jiichi in this state, he immediately knew what the Japanese soldier was up to.

"Ah!" A scream burst from Nomura Jiichi's mouth, but an invisible aura enveloped the surroundings, blocking out the sound.

Far more intense than the agony in his soul, Nomura Jiichi's facial muscles twitched, his entire face contorted into a crease.

His body convulsed violently, and Nomura Jiichi's Qi erupted, even breaking free from the rock's confinement and falling to the ground, rolling around wildly.

The electromagnetic cannon got goosebumps when it saw this and quickly took a few steps back to stand against the wall.

Even though more than a year has passed, when Electromagnetic Cannon recalls the extreme pain he felt when he fused the cards back then, he still can't forget it.

Zhou Ming walked to a table and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it expressionlessly while watching Nomura Jiichi roll around in the water.

The punishment only stopped after a long time.

"From this day forward, I am your master!" Zhou Ming's calm voice rang out.

Nomura Jiichi jolted, immediately turned around, knelt on the ground, and said, "Master!"

"Looks like you're quite sensible. From now on, you'll be the vice-captain of the eight-man squad, assisting the electromagnetic cannon."

Chapter 115 Before leaving

As the darkness that had enveloped the earth gradually faded, light shone upon the city of Shanghai.

The tranquility of the past was gone; large numbers of Japanese soldiers were out searching all the theaters.

The Special Higher Police, like madmen, relentlessly arrested anyone suspected of being suspicious.

The bounty of 50 silver dollars was re-announced, and the name "Blood Demon" once again caused a stir.

Zhou Ming placed the prepared food on the table. Ye Qingyu looked somewhat uneasy, clutching the intelligence in her hand tightly. After a moment of hesitation, she handed it over.

"This is the movement of the Japanese this morning."

Seeing Ye Qingyu's tense expression, Zhou Ming personally comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't act impulsively."

After saying that, he took the intelligence report and began to look through it.

"Hmph!" Zhou Ming snorted coldly. The first piece of intelligence was that the Japanese had arrested many people in various theaters and sentenced them to death by firing squad in three days for murder.

The second piece of intelligence was a printed wanted poster with Zhou Ming's photo, along with a reward of 50 silver dollars.

"That damn idiot Dai Li, couldn't he have done a better job keeping secrets?" Zhou Ming frowned and couldn't help but curse.

Although I had heard that the Military Intelligence Bureau's secrecy was sometimes as fine as a sieve, I never imagined it could reach this level.

Zhou Ming only had his picture taken once, when he was in school. After graduation, his file was handed over to the Special Service Department, which is now the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Now it has been exposed that it was printed as an arrest warrant. Without a doubt, the problem must have come from the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"Xiaoming, you rarely go out, and you've disguised yourself, so you shouldn't be discovered, right?" Ye Qingyu put down her chopsticks and said.

"That's precisely why I'm more likely to be exposed. If a man stays at home all day and doesn't go out to earn money, he'll definitely be talked about over time. And when a group of bored people focus their attention on me, it's only a matter of time before I'm exposed," Zhou Ming said, shaking his head slightly.

"We need to prepare to move to another place."

Zhou Ming knew this was a temporary measure; if he wanted to truly hide his identity, he still needed to have a job like a normal person.

"Ordinary disguises and clothing changes can only pass for ordinary searches, but with the intensity of the Japanese search now, I'm afraid you can't hide for long." Zhou Ming's gaze was fixed on Ye Qingyu's stomach.

I had the idea of ​​leaving Shanghai temporarily.

After reading the intelligence reports in his hand, Zhou Ming placed the first report on top and squinted his eyes.

"Zhou Ming!" Ye Qingyu said with some concern.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything foolish. I can handle this," Zhou Ming said calmly.

After finishing his meal, Zhou Ming pretended to leave home.

“In a few months, Qingyu will probably be unable to move around easily, and she will need some people to take care of her.” Zhou Ming was worried about the others, so he planned to find a few female Japanese soldiers with experience in taking care of pregnant women and convert them into Blood Demon Soldiers.

……

"Teacher, everything is arranged. As long as the Blood Demon appears when the execution takes place, he will surely die without a burial place," the young Japanese officer said in a deep voice.

"Damn it, not only do we need to plant bombs at the execution ground, but we need to plant bombs on all the prisoners and throughout the prison. As soon as the Blood Demon appears, we need to blow him up!" The Japanese lieutenant general, who had lost his mind, said with a gloomy face.

He is currently in a state of redemption, and a lieutenant general will be dispatched from the mainland to replace him in half a month. If he fails to capture the Blood Demon during this period, he will have to return to face punishment.

That's why they acted so recklessly and irrationally, completely disregarding the damage they were causing to the stability of Shanghai.

After making the arrangements, the Japanese lieutenant general was quite tired; he hadn't slept all night.

He stood up, walked to a small room on the side of the office, and lay down to rest for a while.

When he woke up again, the Japanese lieutenant general suddenly tensed up. A dagger that smelled of blood was placed next to his bedside.

After a moment of stunned silence, and once he was sure no one was around, the Japanese lieutenant general quickly sat up and moved away from the dagger, and two cards fell from his body.

Catching his breath and wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, the Japanese lieutenant general looked at the two cards. The moment he picked them up, he was shocked, and his face turned unusually grim.

The two cards are a ship ticket and a photograph. The ticket is for a ship departing from Shanghai to Japan in three days.

The photo shows a dismembered Japanese ronin, with several lines of Japanese written in blood next to him.

The translation is: Lieutenant General Nobuto Kitano, I will avenge the innocent people who died tragically, tenfold, a hundredfold.

"Baka yarou!" Kitano Nobuto roared in extreme anger.

He recognized the man killed in the photo; he was a squad leader in his military police force, and the incident occurred within Shanghai's borders, so it wasn't Japan.

The ticket was prominently displayed alongside the photo, making the meaning quite clear.

If innocent people are killed indiscriminately, the Blood Demon will retaliate tenfold or a hundredfold in Japan.

This is not terrible. For the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, it is only right that some citizens die.
