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

Chapter 78 Black River City Falls? A Demon Master with Qi Martial Bloodline (5k)

boom!

Wang Qi entered the water along with the thick ice that Tian Xingye had shattered.

The ice layer was so thick it was as long as a calf.

One day, it fell.

It resembles a star falling from the river.

And Wang Qi,

Then they looked down into the unfathomable depths of the Black River.

A large number of demons are rushing towards the city.

The sudden changes in Heihe County seem to have taken shape.

Tian Xingye, who was standing in front of him, suddenly turned his head and glanced at Wang Qi, who was moving incredibly fast in the water. He was slightly startled.

He had already reached the fourth realm of martial arts.

Even though he wasn't very good at water power, Wang Qi was able to keep up with his speed.

That was truly astonishing.

He's truly a polymath!

He also noticed the scenery in the deep water, and his heart sank deeper and deeper.

Boom~

Riverbed.

Dozens of water monsters began to charge towards the two of them.

Tian Xingye drew his spear and stabbed several holes in the thick ice layer above.

And they made a lot of marks along the way.

In a short while,

Over a distance of several hundred meters, Tian Xingye poked no less than a hundred holes in the ice.

This is for breathing; it's a lifesaver!

Wang Qi naturally understood his intention.

His eyes saw the reappearance of power and authority.

He instantly subdued two two-meter-long crocodile demons that were charging at him, and they protected him.

The two swam and killed as they went.

The journey was relatively smooth up to that point, but it got worse as we got closer to the narrow river mouth leading into the city.

The greater the resistance the two faced, the more the entrance seemed to be firmly blocked, just like the panicked people fleeing on the ground.

But was it a water demon, excited to enter the city, that blocked this waterway?

Wang Qi could vaguely see this scene in the murky water, and his heart sank.

From the moment they saw the signal flare at Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to now, they are approaching the river mouth where they will enter the city.

Almost a day has passed.

But the demons still surged into the city like a tide.

Wang Qi could even see the excitement on their faces.

boom·--·

The stench of blood suddenly intensified, staining the water around him red.

The two crocodile demons were beaten and torn to death by dozens of water demons.

Large amounts of blood seeped into the water, enveloping Wang Qi in a blood-red abyss.

It broke through the barrier of flesh and blood.

The monsters attacked again.

Wang Qi remained indifferent.

The sense of killing intent and the awe-inspiring presence took turns attacking.

It can subdue lesser demons and awe greater demons.

He had become intimately familiar with these methods on his journey to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

The amount of power and restraint is nearly two thousand kilograms.

This was enough for Wang Qi to continuously build layers of flesh and blood barriers around him.

He began to slowly move forward, trying to find a breakthrough to enter the city.

But even with the combined skills of sensing killing intent and subduing menace,

Wang Qi's situation remained extremely difficult.

Relying on his current physique, which allows him to fight like a seasoned warrior, he shattered the demons that emerged from the cracks.

Boom~

A sudden, violent tremor came from the ground.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of ice cracking.

Who is using supernatural powers now?

Wang Qi looked toward the source of the ice crack, which was actually spreading from the narrow river mouth, which was the direction of the city gate.

The distance between them must be at least two or three hundred meters, right?

What power this is!

Wang Qi felt a chill run down his spine.

I absolutely cannot withstand such an attack now, and I might not even be able to withstand the aftershocks.

Could it be that the military government's reinforcements have arrived?

Or perhaps the city's three giants have begun to turn the tide?

Wang Qi thought to himself.

In the Great Tang Dynasty, officials, whether civil or military, were often ranked according to their level of attainment.

Compared to military officials, civil officials were simply less capable in combat.

The eighth-rank assistant is at the Skin Refining Realm.

What level of official rank is a seventh-grade county magistrate?

boom!

Another loud tremor.

The ice above was cracked even more, and some of it had been completely broken off and turned into floating ice.

In a daze.

An immense killing intent enveloped Wang Qi's entire body.

He suddenly looked down and saw a huge creature with a bull's face and a fish's body charging towards him.

Walls of flesh along the way

It shattered instantly upon contact.

Blood and bones surged in the water, and the bull's head was already upon them.

Awe-inspiring!

Wang Qi subconsciously urged it on.

It was completely useless!

A behemoth weighing over two thousand kilograms.

In his haste, he grabbed the feet of the water monster with the head of a bull and the body of a fish.

boom!

He crashed through the ice and was propelled into the air by the bull-headed monster.

On both sides of the glacier,

These were fishing boats on both banks where the fishing guilds were located, and further away, were civilians huddled together, frantically dodging ice floes and fleeing into the distance.

now,

They were all dumbfounded.

But not to see Wang Qi.

Instead, they looked towards the city tower.

A slender figure descended from the sky, holding a bronze bull demon in his hand.

Covered in rust, it looked like a monster awakened from ancient ruins. The tiny, sesame-seed-sized rust spots on its body easily melted the knee-thick ice on the river.

The river water visibly and rapidly turned yellow under the erosion of the rust spots.

The culprits behind the shattered ice are this human and this demon.

In contrast,

Wang Qi, along with the ox-faced, fish-bodied monster, seemed to be a smaller version of both.

Bang...-·

Wang Qi slammed heavily onto the ice.

However, the hands holding the bull's horns did not let go.

The ice beneath their feet, which had cracked into isolated islands, tilted and swayed, trying to drag Wang Qi and the great demon in his hands into the water.

The water began to surge violently...

The monster was wildly wagging its tail.

Wang Qi's hands were full, but he was unwilling to put the thing back into the water.

A human and a demon engage in a tug-of-war on a "deserted island".

Wang Qi's veins bulged all over his body.

They wanted to snatch this powerful demon weighing over two thousand pounds!

Whoosh!

At the demon's tail, a torrent suddenly drew an arc in mid-air, transforming into a sharp arrow that shot towards Wang Qi.

It seemed that they had seen through Wang Qi's intentions.

boom!

The ice layer was directly breached by the torrent.

Wang Qi dodged the attack, stumbled a few times, and steadied himself on the violently shaking ice, but could only watch helplessly as the demon, who was probably at the third level, escaped.

He turned around.

Look towards the city gate tower.

The young man with bare arms and blue scales was engaged in a fierce battle with the bronze bull demon.

Huge stones kept falling from the city gate due to the impact of the two objects, and the gate, which weighed a thousand pounds, collapsed with a crash.

In front of and behind the door

Countless humans and demons died or were injured; the ground was covered in blood.

Before these two, they are like ants.

"Young Master Long"

Wang Qi seemed to sense the dragon's roar.

He saw that the blue scales on Long Gongzi's arms were vibrating, as if they had come to life.

The dragon energy within his body stirred, easily erasing that throbbing sensation.

But the bronze bull demon was suppressed.

It seems that ever since it surfaced, it has been passively taking hits.

In contrast, the other common people and soldiers...

It seems no one felt the roar.

What kind of martial art is being used?

Wang Qi was shocked.

But the news that was neither good nor bad was that the city gates had been breached.

The city gate tower was smashed to pieces, turning into a pile of rubble.

Countless monsters were trapped underneath.

Without hesitation, Wang Qi rushed in.

He was too preoccupied to observe the battle between the experts and the great demons, fearing for the safety of his friends and master in the city.

Wang Qi ran against the flow of people towards the city.

"Wang Qi?"

Someone excitedly called out to Wang Qi.

When Wang Qi turned around, he found that it was Jia Zhengshu, one of the top scholars in the Zaoyuan.

He immediately became serious and said, "Guard all the major waterways and wellheads!"

"The monster came out of there."

"The most demons are in the sewer alley, Zhengyu Street, and around the gates of various government offices."

Jia Zhengshu shouted and disappeared into the crowd.

Without hesitation, Wang Qi rushed straight towards Zhengyu Street.

On the way,

The number of people is decreasing.

It was clear that the people in the city had already fled through several city gates.

Just imagine,

If countless monsters suddenly appeared in the city, who wouldn't think that the city was doomed?

We walked two more streets in the direction of Zhengyu Street.

As expected, the number of demons increased.

Wang Qi took out a large bow from his bag, nocked an arrow, and drew it.

Whoosh!

A rat demon with purple eyes leaped down from the roof beam.

Wang Qi didn't even look, and immediately fired an arrow.

It's just a skewer of candied hawthorns.

With the aid of his perception of killing intent, Wang Qi felt as if he had divine assistance, as if he had gained a third eye.

The rat demon's corpse fell beside him. Wang Qi casually pulled out the arrow and drew his bow again.

Sensing killing intent!

The dark green light swept out again.

The two snake demons hiding in the corner went limp instantly, and then arrows pierced the sky one after another, killing them instantly.

Sensing killing intent!

Shoot an arrow!

Sensing killing intent!

Archery

Wang Qi strode forward.

He seemed to handle these monsters with ease.

suddenly,

He suddenly turned his head and aimed behind him.

"Officer, we're on the same side!"

The figure wearing a straw hat cried out in panic, narrowly stopping Wang Qi's arrow from being fired.

But he frowned.

Because the other party exuded an extremely obvious killing intent.

"Who are you?

"

"A helper at the Qingshui Tea House on Old Mirror Water Street." The man in the straw hat held his hands above his head, looking extremely flustered.

"It's definitely not a demon."

The man in the straw hat was extremely nervous.

That guy's really something, one arrow, one demon. That bow he's holding is really good, it must weigh ten or twenty taels.

If it were given to myself...

As the other person drew closer, Wang Qi felt the killing intent emanating from them grow stronger.

He gave a cold laugh.

The arrow in her hand shot out instantly, piercing the man's forehead.

"you---..·

The man in the straw hat stared wide-eyed, never knowing how he had been exposed until his death.

"At a time like this, they're still trying to fish in troubled waters."

Wang Qi spoke in a deep voice.

Whoosh!

Wang Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his hand, turning the stone into stone.

A crisp sound exploded on his arm, and the numbness instantly spread throughout his entire arm.

He glanced at the ground.

No hidden weapons were seen.

"Even at a time like this, you still want to kill your own comrades?"

On the small attic, several figures broke through the wood and fell down.

As they were speaking,

One of the men then snapped his fingers several times in succession.

Wang Qi's pupils contracted.

An invisible hidden weapon?

No, it's internal energy?!

Wang Qi held his long sword horizontally, using the Ox-Snake Sword Technique in conjunction with the Dragon Stance for a slight tremor.

boom!

The invisible hidden weapon was shattered by him once again.

"Is there anyone in Heihe County who can stop my qigong needles?" the man asked in surprise.

His robe suddenly trembled violently, billowing without any wind.

For a time,

This made the man appear to have an extremely strong presence.

"Wait a minute."

One of the women called out.

But men don't care about that anymore.

"What's there to wait for? We witnessed the murder of our own kind with our own eyes; the evidence is irrefutable!"

"You country bumpkin villain, come and taste the power of a Qi Master!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, a wisp of white smoke billowed from his mouth.

follow closely,

Behind it, a white python phantom could be seen appearing and disappearing.

momentum?

Dragon energy began to surge within Wang Qi's chest.

roar~

The golden dragon roared, and Wang Qi manipulated it to wrap around his arm.

The dragon's power was surging forth, as if a dragon's roar was resounding out.

boom!

For an instant.

The white smoke behind the man dissipated with a sound.

The air seemed to suddenly become quiet at that moment.

The men behind the man also changed color.

"What happened?"

"Why did my white python scatter?" the man asked, bewildered.

"We misunderstood this young master," the woman who had previously tried to dissuade him said, using her long sword to lift the dead man's hat, revealing his head full of hair that was tangled together like a python.

It looks ferocious and terrifying.

"This person has completely fallen into demonic ways."

But at this moment,

The man, however, was no longer concerned with these matters. He looked at Wang Qi and asked, "What exactly did you just use? Why were you able to disperse my qi technique?"

"I have no intention of getting entangled with you all; I'm still waiting to save people!"

Wang Qi saw that the killing intent on the other party had completely disappeared.

Not wanting to get entangled with these guys with their bizarre moves, he turned and left.

After walking a few steps,

The five people behind them had already caught up.

"Are you going to Zhengyu Street, young master?" the blue-robed woman who had previously tried to dissuade him asked. "We're going together. We're going to reinforce Zhengyu Street and protect the families of the constables."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qi's expression softened slightly.

Thank you all.

He noticed that the other person's accent sounded somewhat like that of the young master Lu he had met outside the city.

Just as the group stepped into Zhengyu Street,

In Wang Qi's vision, dense killing intent came from all directions.

The number of demons is many times greater than before.

On the street,

It is already teeming with demons.

There are over a hundred of them on this short street.

They climbed up the wall and crawled into the house.

Some of them crawled out from the yard.

"Young master, where do you live? We'll come and open a shop there—."

The woman in the blue robe hadn't finished speaking.

Wang Qi had already charged out.

Sensing killing intent!

The knife falls!

Subduing, fighting—

Wherever Wang Qi went, no demon could escape his attack.

in the blink of an eye,

The demons in front of him had already been cleared away by Wang Qi.

This scene,

The five women in blue robes were utterly shocked.

"Old martial arts master, do you really have such skills?"

"This person is strange."

"Enough with the nonsense!" the woman in blue shouted, and the group immediately began to move.

They broke into the courtyard to clean up the monsters.

Wang Qi kicked open the Zhang family mansion gate, "Master's wife! Steamed buns!"

"Brother Qi, we're in the woodshed."

Baozi's voice rang out, trembling with tears.

Wang Qi immediately rushed over.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the master's wife was standing in front of the woodshed, holding two wood-chopping axes horizontally.

One woman guarded the pass.

The ground was littered with the mangled remains of several snake demons.

Upon seeing this, Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "Master's wife is such a good wife."

"Although I train externally, I possess superhuman strength!"

"When your master was young, I chased and beat him up." Madam Zhang rarely showed such a domineering side, which surprised Wang Qi.

No wonder Master didn't let *** develop a martial arts mindset; the problem was right there.

Wang Qi took his master's wife and the other woman with him, and then went from house to house rescuing the families of Liu Banzhao and the others.

Fortunately,

He arrived in time, and there were no problems.

Moreover, all of these ladies were actually martial arts practitioners.

A brief question,

These women were all involved in gangs, worked in fast-paced training programs, and trained in martial arts schools when they were young.

Later, when things improved and she got married, she "reformed".

This shows how fierce the local customs were in Heihe County in the past.

The hundreds of demons on Zhengyu Street were wiped out by Wang Qi and the five women in blue robes.

Only then did they gather together.

"I apologize on behalf of Song Yan for what happened before!" The woman in blue robes bowed to Wang Qi.

"No need, I'll apologize myself."

Song Yan ran over, looking apologetic. "I panicked while trying to save people, I hope Young Master Wang will forgive me."

They learned of Wang Qi's name from the conversation between the lady and the children.

follow closely,

Song Yan then pressed on, "I wonder what technique Young Master Wang used to break my qi technique?"

Wang Qi stood up. "Heihe County is in chaos right now. I'll go to the various government offices and sweep away the evil spirits."

"Wait! No need!"

Song Yan quickly grabbed Wang Qi.

"You don't need to worry about it anymore."

"Master Huang transferred a group of elite troops from the county town some time ago, and they have now entered the city with us - I'm afraid the situation will stabilize before dark."

"I originally thought that Master Huang was just making a fuss over nothing. I never expected that something would really happen in Heihe County—he really is a prophet."

The people behind Song Yan discussed among themselves, praising Master Huang's brilliant strategy.

"Unfortunately, we were still a step too late."

"These monsters are truly cunning."

"Waterway—attacking by water makes sense. But for the past hundred years, they've never attacked by water. We naturally assumed they wouldn't come by water, oh—"

They were reflecting on the tragedy and had already begun to review the events of the disaster.

Seeing their expressions, Wang Qi knew that the crisis was most likely over for the time being.

"What were you referring to as Qi Masters earlier?"

Wang Qi asked the question.

Upon hearing this, Song Yan chuckled, "Naturally, it's a martial artist who uses internal energy."

"We are different from the old martial arts practitioners. We start from the inner strength realm and only cultivate the qi in our chest."

"Then, with the aid of techniques and momentum—we will unleash the power of those former 'short-tempered devils.'"

"The path we have embarked on is called the Path of Qi Martial Arts."

"We call them Qi Masters."

"There's such a method?" Wang Qi was shocked.

The dragon energy within my own chest seems to be following this path as well.

The dragon's energy grows stronger through those rare and precious materials.

It can even gather evil energy to transform into a black dragon.

He just didn't expect that someone in the county town had already developed a system for this road, and it seemed to have become a whole system.

"That's not all."

Song Yan seemed to enjoy seeing others' shocked expressions, and continued speaking with great interest.

"There are also people who are constantly replenishing their blood in the Blood Transformation Realm, wanting to elevate their bloodline! They're trying to emulate the demon race's 'tracing back to the source' technique."

Become the original bloodline entity and unlock the supernatural powers within your bloodline.

"They are called Bloodline Demon Masters."

"Some people are also studying skin refining and bone forging—and this has already become a faction in the area south of the river."

"But it's still very immature."

"Currently, only we Qi Masters and Bloodline Demon Masters are constantly deducing and discovering new and more powerful branches."

"Anyway, our two factions often clash in the county town!"

2

"It's all so we can fight against demons."

Song Yan became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Our purpose in joining the reinforcements to Heihe County this time is to use these demons to see what they're really made of—"

"I never expected something like this to happen."
