The comical music caused the tense atmosphere to suddenly pause.
Wang Shouyi, standing in front of everyone, staggered and almost fell.
He turned his head to look at Chen Huaian and others, angrily saying, “Why haven’t you left yet? Are you not afraid of dying?”
“We are from the Demon-Slaying Division.” Zhao Ying shifted her gaze from the Porcelain Mother to Wang Shouyi, with a hint of scrutiny: “Slaying demons and ensuring the safety of the area is our duty.”
“The Demon-Slaying Division? I’ve heard of you.”
Wang Shouyi pulled out two crumpled talismans from his sleeves as he watched the approaching Bone Porcelain Woman, speaking solemnly: “Do you know what level this Porcelain Mother is? She’s at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. Your General Level corresponds to the mid-stage of Qi Condensation to its peak. This Porcelain Mother is equivalent to between the Marshal Level and King Level. You cannot possibly be her match. Even so, do you still wish to stay and fight against her?”
He didn’t hear any response from those behind him.
But surely they were still there, resolute.
Wang Shouyi couldn’t help but feel tears welling up in his eyes.
This was humanity—like ants trying to shake a tree, so insignificant, yet still possessing the courage to wield swords against gods and spirits.
Magnificent, my human race.
Today, even if he dies, he must stop the Porcelain Mother to give his fellow countrymen behind him a fighting chance!
“You’re right,” suddenly, a voice gradually faded away from behind.
“That Porcelain Mother is yours to deal with then. We’ll cheer for you from behind.”
Wang Shouyi turned his head and immediately felt intense anger.
He saw that group already knocking down the approaching Bone Porcelain Woman and walking away.
“Hah…” Wang Shouyi gave a bitter laugh.
Fine, he originally wanted these people to leave anyway.
Looking back at the poised Bone Porcelain Bodhisattva, the sadness in Wang Shouyi’s eyes turned into anger and killing intent.
Clang—!
The sword Duanxing was unsheathed as he leapt off the ground.
Accompanied by the brave roar of the young man: “Foul beast, prepare to die!”
…
“Isn’t it a bit inappropriate just watching like this?”
Near the ruins, behind a small sand dune, everyone silently watched the mysterious youth being brutally beaten and flying around in the sky by the Bone Porcelain Bodhisattva. Xiang Xiaoyuan, the kindest among them, could no longer hold back and said again, “How about I throw a healing spell? If that doesn’t work… At least we should help collect their body…”
“Didn’t you hear that youth? This monster starts at the Marshal Level. If we go up there, it would be useless.”
“Captain Zhao Ying is right!” Huang Gubei gave a thumbs up; he liked Zhao Ying’s pragmatism.
“This youth has a mysterious origin and doesn’t seem local.” Lin Chen looked at Wang Shoui being thrown by the shockwave and muttered, “And judging by his tough skin, he can withstand such beatings for quite some time, indicating he’s at least at the Marshal Level… But I’ve never heard of such a powerful person who is also so young.”
She turned to look at Chen Huaian: “Director Chen, what do you think?”
Chen Huaian remained silent, only furrowing his brows while staring at his phone.
It was a miscalculation.
When he first fought the Porcelain Mother, it only seemed to be at the peak of Qi Condensation. With the first volume of Heavenly Demon Art and his cultivation at the second stage of Qi Condensation, wasn’t it supposed to be easy for someone as talented as him to defeat someone at the peak of Qi Condensation?
However, after only half a day, the Porcelain Mother had become significantly stronger.
And it had transformed into an obviously boss-like second phase of the Porcelain Bodhisattva!
So this was the legendary rapid development?
A bit tricky.
It wasn’t impossible to fight, but the situation was unclear.
Thus, when in doubt, electronic girlfriend.
This time, it wasn’t for Li Qingran’s methods.
In the face of absolute power difference, learning a few obscure techniques wouldn’t make much difference.
He was here to ask for items.
“Qingran, didn’t your master bestow some opportunities to the Sword Pavilion disciples before?”
He deliberately pulled up his collar, moving further away from the crowd, whispering into his phone.
“Master, you’re here!” Li Qingran had been preparing to meditate again when she sensed her master’s presence and hurriedly asked, “Master, did you drive the great demon away? Are you hurt?”
Chen Huaian glanced at the three-headed, six-armed Porcelain Bodhisattva going berserk and lied, “Yes, naturally your master handles things effortlessly. A mere great demon, easily subdued! Rather, I wonder how the disciples are doing with making talismans and refining pills?”
That’s right, Chen Huaian planned to start from here.
Items from the electronic girlfriend store could only be used by Li Qingran.
Pills obtained by Li Qingran could be used by him, so the talismans given by these disciples should also be usable.
Although their quality definitely wouldn’t compare to those from the electronic girlfriend store and the Lucky Koi Pool.
But if the quantity was enough, they should suffice against the Bone Porcelain Bodhisattva?
“Master, please wait a moment, let me ask them for you.”
Li Qingran took out a sound transmission jade tablet and communicated with Yue Qianchi, hearing a cacophony of sword sounds from the other side.
[“Master, I want to have an epiphany! Not for you to hit me!”]
[“You brat, don’t run, a beating will bring enlightenment!”]
[“Ah! The leader of the Sword Pavilion is killing people, save me!!!” ]
Li Qingran: “…”
Yue Qianchi was still unreliable. She then took out another jade tablet to send a message to Brother Xu An.
Xu An listened carefully to Li Qingran’s words, immediately visiting every disciple’s cave on Sunset Peak, bringing the already refined pills and talismans to Chen Huaian. Although not all disciples knew how to refine pills or make talismans, there were dozens in total, including Zhen He’s personally crafted sword pills.
“What is this sword pill…”
Li Qingran pointed at the sword pill, feeling a bit confused.
After all, the master hadn’t mentioned wanting sword pills, just talismans and pills.
“Ahh, this one…” Xu An scratched his head, laughing sheepishly, “Zhen He insisted on giving it to me, saying he wanted the ancestor to evaluate it. Actually, I understand, he just wants to know how his sword pills fare in the eyes of the ancestor… Harm, he’s like that. If the ancestor doesn’t want it, I’ll return it to him.”
Just as Li Qingran was about to speak,
a roar echoed through the void: “Hold on!”
Chen Huaian squinted as he looked at the sword pill.
If he remembered correctly, this sword pill could severely wound anyone below the Golden Core level and kill anyone below the Foundation Establishment level, right?
He opened the map, looking towards the Concealed Sword Peak, zooming out to focus on Zhen He meditating.
[Chief Disciple of Concealed Sword Peak – Zhen He]
[Steady and humble, revealing only a fraction of his swordsmanship publicly, hiding unparalleled sword intent within his scabbard.]
[Assessment: Superbly stealthy]
Chen Huaian squinted again, realizing the matter was not simple.
Given Zhen He’s character, since he was so modest and never showed off, following the principle of caution, even if his sword pill could kill anyone below the Golden Core level, he would only say it could severely wound. Therefore, this sword pill could definitely show the Bone Porcelain Bodhisattva a thing or two.
If that fails, there aren’t just one but three sword pills now.
“This sword pill has some flaws, let me examine it thoroughly for him!”
Chen Huaian collected all the talismans, pills, and sword pills on the table, then logged off directly.
Xu An felt the gaze in the void disappear and couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Regaining his senses, he sighed and bowed to Li Qingran: “Truly worthy of being the ancestor, Zhen He’s sword pills have reached perfection, even the peak master of Concealed Sword Peak couldn’t find fault. Yet the ancestor can still see flaws… The ancestor’s realm truly makes us look up with admiration!”
“Hehe, Master is indeed above the Void level, Brother Xu An shouldn’t belittle yourself.”
Li Qingran smiled with her hands behind her back.
She was also a very humble person, but who could resist praising her own master?
The master is strong.
The strongest!
