Refining the True from the False: Becoming a God Starting with Devouring a True Dragon

Chapter 77 [Killing Intent Solidifies] 'Universal Fragment' Crisis in Heihe County! (5k)

[Concrete Killing Intent: Materializes killing intent, capable of causing minor damage within one meter. Can shake the minds of the weak (its power can be slightly increased through killing).]

The light blue text appeared as Wang Qi refined the two third-tier bloodthirsty tiger demon's eyes in one gulp.

Foggy time,

His gaze was unwavering.

A deep, dark green, like that of a tiger demon, converges.

boom!

The snow in front of him was pierced by Wang Qi, crashing onto the frozen ground and leaving a tiny crater.

Wang Qi continued forward, and his speed began to increase.

Along the way, the number of snake demons and rat demons also began to increase sharply.

In just one day,

The number of demons that died at Wang Qi's hands has already exceeded the total number of the previous few days.

He cut off a section of each of the various snake and python demons and put them into his pouch.

Wang Qi wanted to make a pot of snake soup.

However, as the number of demons increased, he realized that he was getting closer and closer to the lair of the great demon.

"Humans!"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

As dusk fell, more than twenty snake demons suddenly appeared around Wang Qi.

Gray-skinned giant python, black-skinned python demon—

Three second-tier python demons surrounded him, and without further ado, they attacked from all directions.

Wang Qi grinned maliciously.

He had naturally been aware of the existence of these demons for a long time.

As he moved further and further away from Heihe County, he drew closer and closer to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

He found himself feeling increasingly relaxed and his thoughts becoming clearer.

There's no need to worry about interpersonal relationships or social niceties.

No need to worry about food and lodging.

There's no need to worry about resources for cultivation.

As long as you keep moving forward, you can kill demons.

These problems will then be easily solved.

The higher the level of the demons, and the more unfamiliar they were to Wang Qi, the more excited he became.

Because this could very well mean that you will gain new abilities.

This is an opportunity to continuously increase combat power.

This feeling—

That felt great!

The killing intent solidified.

boom!

The snake demon that pounced first had its skull pierced by Wang Qi's single glance.

After being trained by dozens of demons, the power of his solidified killing intent has also been greatly enhanced.

Piercing through the head of a first-tier demon in an instant is no problem. "Even if we fight you thirty times, you have no chance of winning!"

The gray python roared and spat a mouthful of gray phlegm at Wang Qi.

The thick phlegm, like sharp arrows, split into three arrows in mid-air.

Left and right sides,

It can even turn a corner.

Absolutely bizarre!

Sensing killing intent!

Wang Qi's dark green killing intent surged forth from his entire body in an instant.

The surrounding lesser demons, who were pressing forward, were instantly stunned, their speed momentarily halted.

"Kill him."

Wang Qi uttered the imperial decree.

Foggy time,

Several strong second-tier snake demons began slaughtering their subordinates.

There were even two snake demons that pounced on Wang Qi.

He blocked the giant gray python's phlegm-turned-three-arrow attack.

The price, of course, was that the two snake demons' bodies were instantly blasted into several pieces, raising a cloud of blood mist in the snow.

In almost a few breaths,

Of the thirty-headed snake and rat-python demon, only the three leaders remained.

"Great Demon!"

The gray-skinned python was shocked.

Watching Wang Qiru's seemingly magical actions, it was hard to believe.

With a single leap, Wang Qi sent snow flying everywhere beneath his feet.

Foggy time,

A white mist rose, and Wang Qi disappeared into it.

The gray-skinned python's pupils contracted as it saw the shadow in the snow rushing straight towards it, neither dodging nor avoiding it.

But what terrified it most was...

My body couldn't move; it was as if I was frozen in place.

A sudden surge of submission even rose within him, and he dared not resist.

At this moment,

It finally understood why its subordinates had suddenly turned against each other.

It's all the sorcery of this human race!

Bang..-·

The python's head rolled off.

Wang Qi sheathed his sword, feeling somewhat bored.

"Is this the leader of these monsters?"

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it—"

At least this gray-skinned python demon is definitely not the person behind that tiger demon.

Perhaps their lair is even deeper inside.

Going deeper,

We are about to venture into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

Wang Qi gazed at the towering mountains at the horizon, shrouded in mist.

It's like a mysterious fairyland.

He felt no fear, only excitement.

How many powerful demons with special abilities must be among them?

"Never mind, let's eat first."

Wang Qi began to skillfully peel and cut the skin into sections.

Out of respect for the snake demon leader, Wang Qi decided to single him out and devour a section of his knowledge.

The second-tier snake demon's earlier feat of turning a phlegm into three arrows was quite interesting.

And it was all thanks to this nest of snake demons and python demons.

Wang Qi's Hundred Snake Soup also had more than thirty kinds of ingredients.

There are different skin colors, different sizes, different head shapes, and also some with forked tails, some with flared tails, some with different colors, and so on.

It can be said,

This gray-skinned giant python's subordinates were also a diverse and inclusive group.

It's a pity.

The weight is a bit small.

There has always been a set of rules in Heihe County regarding the determination of the strength of demons and monsters.

Smaller weight doesn't necessarily mean weaker strength.

But those that weigh a lot are definitely not weak.

This statement

This appeared even more extreme in the face of Wang Qi's imposing presence.

A demon weighing less than two thousand jin wouldn't even have the chance to fight to the death with you.

They could only be at their own mercy.

This is the true dragon's divine power.

Only when a certain condition is met are you qualified to take action.

Soon,

A delicious aroma of meat wafted over.

Dark blue text then appeared.

[Nine-Colored Python Meat Soup: Nine colors, formless, can replace any second-tier python demon's flesh and blood for food refinement.]

"A universal fragment?"

Wang Qi beamed with joy upon seeing the words before him.

With the existence of versatile fragments like the Nine-Colored Python Meat Soup, a lot of space in the Stream Bag can be saved.

There's no need to agonize over or choose between snake and python meat anymore.

Simply boil them all down into "all-purpose fragments".

"That's convenient."

When we replace these Tier 1 snake and python meats with higher-tier ones, we can create high-level universal fragments.

That way, its effect will become greater and greater.

Wang Qi used the nine-colored python meat soup as the meat of the evil water python demon to refine and improve the progress of the [Water Poison Soul].

A bowl of soup.

The progress of [Water Poison Soul], [Majesty], and the True Dragon Bloodline is advancing simultaneously.

Wang Qi made the meat broth pot by pot, then froze it with ice and snow, wrapped it in clean demon skin, and sealed it in a stream bag.

Use it whenever you need it.

After doing all that, he glanced in the direction of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

There was only one thought in my mind.

Charge in!

"This giant python, Qi, is incredibly fierce."

East of Mopan Town, in a certain place.

A group of heavily armored cavalrymen, riding armored warhorses, reined in their horses and stood still.

The ground beneath my feet was littered with the corpses of snakes, rats, and wolf demons.

"First- and second-tier demons are all killed with a single blow by him."

"There was not an ounce of unnecessary entanglement."

"Vice Garrison Commander, this man's strength is also terrifying. Look at these two wolf demons; he cleaved them in two vertically right from between their eyebrows."

"That's what Miss Fang said."

A scout dug through the snow and ice, examining the fragments of the monster's corpse while analyzing and reconstructing the battle situation.

headed by,

The man in full armor had eyes like lightning, his sharp gaze seemingly able to pierce through the wind and snow as he looked at the scene within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

"He earned the title 'Great Python' through his external cultivation. Starting from scratch at the age of sixteen, he went from a lowly clerk to someone skilled in external cultivation and then to internal strength in just six months. How could such a person be merely a name without substance?"

"Besides, do you really think that severing the neck of that Blood Pool Tiger Demon with a single strike is an easy task?"

"Even if that tiger demon just stood there and let you chop it down, it would still take you a while."

"In my opinion, those so-called Six Masters of the Martial Arts School, Chicken, Duck, Pig, Sheep, and the Five Heroes of Evil Water are all far inferior to him and do not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as him."

This deputy commander of the military government, who was of the eighth rank, did not hold back in praising Wang Qi.

The scout pondered for a moment, "It seems he's taking the old Wu Road."

"Not necessarily."

Deputy Commander Shu shook his head. "A person like that is bound to have someone pointing fingers at him."

"Perhaps it's that Young Master Long, or maybe it's an envoy from the Divine Eagle Sect."

"However—he's far too audacious."

"You actually intend to charge into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain all by yourself?"

The scout inquired, "Then, judging from this, the great demon who refined the Blood Seed Demon Core should be within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain."

"What do we do now?"

"Let's go into the mountains!"

"That's exactly what we came here for."

"I'll go ahead and meet that giant python king, Qi."

[Water Poison Soul Progress: 100%]

The "Water Poison Soul" event is now open.

Splash—

The sound of flowing water reached Wang Qi's ears.

At the edge of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, we stepped into the mist.

Wang Qi felt a sense of warmth.

"Within the Demon Mountain, the climate is surprisingly pleasant, like a paradise on earth."

Wang Qi looked around; the water plants were lush and the trees were green.

But the snow remained, creating a strange and wondrous scene.

It seems that the plants and trees in this demonic mountain have grown strong enough to withstand the cold of the heavy snow.

The river was right at my feet.

The river water was clear, and it looked like nothing more than a shallow stream.

But Wang Qi had already gone into the water to test it, and it was four or five meters deep.

Moreover, water snakes and fish demons roamed in large groups.

Upon seeing Wang Qi enter the water, they all scattered and watched him intently from a distance.

He looked around.

I immediately spotted several medicinal herbs.

It was all something the old doctor casually mentioned to me that afternoon—good medicine for treating illnesses.

These are all clearly very old.

And such herbs seem to be found everywhere.

"Even the water here is sweeter than the water outside the mountains."

Wang Qi took a sip of river water.

"The great demons possess such treasure lands, while our human race has been reduced to having no medicinal herbs to gather. The art of medicine is fading, and hunters have vanished—"

Wang Qi secretly regretted it.

"What are your thoughts after seeing this realm of ten thousand demon mountains?"

Suddenly, a ghostly voice rang out from behind.

Wang Qi's body seemed to be equipped with springs, and he immediately leaped into the air.

The moment he drew his sword, he suddenly looked back.

But in the end,

But he suddenly sheathed his sword.

After rolling around on the ground a few times, he stood up.

He looked at the person who had come.

"Why aren't you striking?" The newcomer was none other than Cheng Fu, who had come after receiving Fang Yu's intelligence.

"If you wanted to kill me, sir, I would already be dead."

Wang Qi remained calm.

If someone approaches within 500 meters of you and has murderous intent, you can't possibly fail to notice them.

Since the other party was able to approach him silently.

Besides being extremely strong,

That means the other party has no hostility towards you.

"Haha - you're so decisive in killing demons, I never imagined you had this innocent side?"

Cheng Fu was slightly surprised.

"I am Tian Xingye, the deputy garrison commander of the Heihe Army, and I have come to eliminate the demon behind the Blood Seed Demon Core."

Wang Qi immediately understood.

Fangyu's report received a reply.

He just didn't expect that the person who came would be Cheng Fu, who was only an eighth-rank official.

Those who can reach the position of deputy commander in the military are generally martial artists above the Blood Refining Realm and the Skin Refining Realm.

He's two whole realms above me.

"Wang Qi greets Vice Minister Tian Cheng."

Wang Qi cupped his hands in greeting.

"No need for formalities," Tian Xingye waved his hand. "Since you dared to venture alone into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, your courage is beyond question."

"Once we enter this mountain, there will be no distinction of rank or status between us as human beings."

"Only comrades-in-arms, brothers in arms!"

Seeing Tian Xingye's hearty laugh, Wang Qi said, "Then I'll take the liberty of calling you Brother Tian!"

Tian Xingye then asked with great interest, "Now that you've entered this mountain and seen this scenery..."

"What are your thoughts?"

Wang Qi paused for a moment, then said, "I want to cross these Ten Thousand Demon Mountains and see what lies beyond."

This is his true thought.

And it's still a more subtle way of saying it in this world.

There's no reason why only powerful demons would attack their city.

He has been fighting his way through these past few days.

The more they kill, the more exhilarating it becomes.

The more he killed, the clearer his mind became.

gradually,

Wang Qi was also pondering what he had come to this world for.

Is your life better than your previous one?

If that's all there is to it, then he has already accomplished it.

The young master of Long, who could make a ninth-rank county magistrate kneel, owed him a favor. And with his methods of slaying demons and monsters, he could easily amass a fortune of several hundred or even a thousand taels of silver.

Based on the price of two black steamed buns for one coin in this world.

I'm practically a millionaire now.

Further down...—

With his golden touch, he could become a millionaire or even a billionaire.

但·

At this moment.

Wang Qi thought of these things, but he couldn't muster any interest.

It's nowhere near as satisfying as personally slaying one demon after another here, venturing deeper and deeper into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

then,

He was pondering it.

Perhaps my being able to come to this world is not just a coincidence resulting from accumulating good deeds.

Perhaps it was a journey destined for us.

Since it's destined that we'll have to start over...

Since I've been destined to come to a world of martial arts.

Since it is destined that the human race will live in a remote corner and be oppressed and hunted by the demon race, then so be it.

Follow your heart, follow your current excitement.

Try to break through the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains and defeat the demon race!

Wang Qi felt his hands begin to tremble, and his heart began to beat faster.

That's what makes it exciting!

"Hahaha.."

Tian Xingye suddenly burst into laughter, "Crossing the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains!"

"You're old, aren't you? But you've got quite the nerve."

"Fine! I'll go after you for that tone!"

"Would you like to join my Heihe Army and fight alongside me?"

Wang Qi never expected that this Deputy Tian Cheng would extend such an invitation to him, whom he had just met.

Before Wang Qi could respond—

In the distant sky,

A red 'meteor' rose from the ground.

Like a dazzling pearl in the night, it instantly attracted the attention of all living beings.

Tian Xingye, who had been laughing, suddenly changed his expression.

"not good!"

"What's wrong?" Wang Qi asked.

"A major change has occurred in the city!"

"The moment this signal was sent, it meant that Heihe County was in imminent danger."

Tian Xingye's expression turned grim. He then turned to Wang Qi and said, "Kid, you're coming with me now to join the team and fight your way back to Heihe County!"

After all,

He simply picked up Wang Qi with one hand and ran wildly towards Heihe County.

Before Wang Qi's eyes, the scenery rushed past.

Beyond speed, it's unheard of.

However, he had no interest in Tian Xingye's strength or speed at the moment.

All his thoughts were focused on Heihe County.

The winter hunt has been underway for nearly ten days, and most of the warriors with fighting ability have already left the city and traveled an unknown distance.

Now things have changed.

I want to get back, but I don't know how long it will take.

and,

How could Heihe County suddenly change like this?

The city defense bureau, with its three shifts and six offices of constables, must have a combined force of one or two thousand people.

Moreover, there must have been meticulous planning beforehand to deal with unforeseen circumstances.

How could this be?

Wang Qi felt a lightness in his body.

He was already floating in the air. He looked around, grabbed a rein, and mounted the horse.

next to

They were already surrounded by the iron cavalry of the Heihe Army.

The group spurred their horses and charged towards Heihe County.

Mopan Town, Shuijing Town...

It goes until it's ten miles outside Heihe County.

Wang Qi's expression suddenly changed.

Watch your side!

His sense of killing intent detected a dense mass of murderous intent surrounding him.

next moment,

Hundreds of snow wolves burst out of the snow, forming a white wave that roared in.

"Three men cover our retreat, the rest of you follow me."

Tian Xingye gave the order without even looking at it.

The three people on the left

They instantly turned their horses around and charged towards the pack of snow wolves.

Another 500 meters.

"Ahead, beneath your feet."

Watch out for your feet.

Wang Qi and Tian Xingye spoke out almost simultaneously.

boom!

The cavalry immediately drew an arc to avoid the snow ahead.

Tian Xingye drew his spear and thrust it sharply towards the ground.

boom!

The two men, standing on thick, frozen ground, were lifted up by his single spear thrust.

Build a horizontal earthen wall.

Several snake demons were overturned and floated in the air.

But the group ignored this and hurried on their way.

In sight,

Wang Qi could already vaguely see the scene on the city wall.

There was a huge fire burning, and creatures were falling from tall buildings. It seemed that people were crowding at the city gate, completely blocking it, and were trying to escape in panic.

But this panicked "long dragon" seemed to have no end.

Everything was so chaotic.

What happened?

The first thing Wang Qi thought of was the Fragrant Meat Cult in the alley, as well as the Chicken, Duck, Pig, and Sheep gangs.

He still vividly remembered what the Boss Chicken had said to him before he died that night.

these people,

They seem to stop at nothing to become stronger.

But it's probably unrealistic for them to create such a big riot.

Another three miles.

Only half of Tian Xingye's men remained, about a dozen riders, following him on the rapid march. The rest had been split up along the way to fend off the monsters that were launching a surprise attack on them.

"No, the city gates are blocked."

"You can't get in like this."

Tian Xingye immediately reined in his horse, bringing the group to a stop.

He had already surpassed the Blood Transformation Realm, so he could clearly see the situation on the city wall.

There's a monster on the city wall!

Tian Xingye frowned and ordered, "You all stay outside, look for an opportunity, and observe the situation."

"I'm going into town by water—to see what's going on!"

"I'll go with you."

Wang Qi jumped off the horse, saying, "I'm a good swimmer, and I'm familiar with the city."

"good!"

After a brief hesitation, Tian Xingye nodded in agreement.

"Well done."

The two ran wildly to the nearest Black River.

He plunged headlong into it.
