Chapter 52: Under the Sealing God Platform, a Demon Soldier
Bai Qi beheaded three monsters, and didn't think he would stir up any big trouble. Bai Shui Xian Ren was dead, so he no longer needed to guard against anything. A talisman soldier was arranged around him, and he lay on the edge of a cliff, propping himself up with his arm, gazing up at the starry sky.
After the heavy rain, the sky cleared up, and the stars shone brightly. It was already early autumn, and the wind was a bit cool. Fu Bing sat quietly beside Bai Qi, who was muttering to himself from time to time.
"How many are you now? Thirty-five? You look like a human, but you don't understand what I'm saying, right? I've long wanted to get rid of that White Water True Man and keep him by my side. It's bound to be trouble sooner or later. But in the future, who can say how many good people there are in the world of cultivating immortality? How can you not get used to it?"
The puppet soldier remained silent, merely kneeling beside him with a blood-stained dagger. This was just the lowest level of treasure symbol transformation, and during battles, he had to divide his attention to control it. Wanting this level of puppet soldier to speak was no easier than talking to himself in front of a mirror.
"I know, I'm just not used to being alone after such a big change. Having Bai Shui Zhen Ren, a strong person, subdued and by my side would make me feel much better. Is this considered being afraid of the future?"
The stone statue-like soldier was silent, with a faint red glow flickering in his eyes, but without any hint of vitality.
Bai Qi felt somewhat disheartened and said, "This is really boring. Once you're also useless, I'll leave this place and find a sect to rely on. At least with a sect, I can chat with my fellow disciples."
Among the starry rivers in the sky, a black gust of wind blew over, and Bai Qi's eyes lit up. In that gust of wind, there was a hint of demonic aura. He was a descendant of the Heavenly Demon, and although he had transformed his bones and become human, he was still extremely sensitive to this smell, able to sniff it out from dozens of miles away.
I was worried that there's nothing for the Inverse Scale Spear to devour, and then this thing appeared.
However, it looks much stronger than itself. Bai Qi thought for a moment and returned to the house in the middle, took out the jade Buddha, placed it in the middle, and let Fu Bing guard the door. Bai Qi summoned the Inverse Scale Gun and hid his body behind the jade Buddha.
Before long, a child in red clothes descended from the air and landed on the platform on the rock wall. He bowed his head to sniff, then rushed towards the hidden room.
"Come out!" The red-clothed boy shouted, pulling out a weapon from his hand, which was a soft whip with a black oily sheen. As he spoke, he had already swung the whip, and the flames on it, colored like orange peel, shattered the white door to powder.
This child is ferocious and overbearing, completely unlike his innocent play with the monkey.
Bai Qi remained still in the room, unmoving. He was behind the Jade Buddha, waiting for the child to enter. The moment the child saw the Jade Buddha placed in the room, his eyes were fixed on it and couldn't move away. Suddenly, Bai Qi stood up and charged towards the red-clothed child with his sword.
The red-clothed boy didn't even glance at the talisman soldier, and with a flick of his long whip, he instantly set the talisman soldier ablaze. However, the talisman soldier counterattacked in desperation, striking one knife onto the red-clothed boy's long whip.
The long whip let out a mournful cry, recoiling back, and it was only then that the red-clothed boy was startled. He lowered his head to look, and on the whip, there was already an additional wound, from which black liquid was flowing out.
"How hateful!" The red-clothed boy grasped the whip handle with his hand and pinched the wound shut.
He looked around, didn't see anyone, the only place in the room where someone could hide was behind the Jade Buddha. The red-clothed boy took out a copper stove and placed it on the ground, sneering as he threw a red pill into the copper stove. The red pill decomposed in the copper stove, and flames burst forth from within, wisps of pale red smoke emerging, filling the entire room in an instant.
When the pale red mist approached Bai Qi, it was directly absorbed by the Inverse Scale Spear. The highly toxic substance was also decomposed into a cyan gold gas, which was still given to Bai Qi two-tenths.
Bai Qi was overjoyed. In this red mist, the yuanqi was even more concentrated than the Huiqi Dan he had obtained from Bai Shui Zhenren.
The red-clothed boy approached the Jade Buddha cautiously after the smoke had spread throughout the entire room.
His eyes shone with golden light, and he saw a faint golden substance flowing in the Jade Buddha. He was overjoyed at once. He didn't know what this thing was, but he knew that if he could swallow these faint golden things, he would immediately become a true god, and when the time came, the heavenly court would also come to confer titles, and the nearby thousand-mile demons would probably all be under his control.
This is different from the sacrifices of those hundreds of people in the village, with the heavenly court's appointment, his path to cultivation will be much easier, and immortality will not be a difficult task.
The red-clothed boy swallowed a mouthful of saliva and cautiously approached the Jade Buddha. When he was three feet away from the Jade Buddha, the red-clothed boy stopped, his long whip flying out to wrap around the Jade Buddha.
Bai Qi didn't expect this demon to be so cautious, it seems that its intelligence is not low. It still doesn't move, the instrument spirit in the jade Buddha hasn't spoken again, and Bai Qi also doesn't believe it will follow a low-level demon to leave.
Falling into the hands of a demon, this kind of spiritual energy is unable to be refined, and for demons, it's just food.
The red-clothed boy's long whip wrapped around the Jade Buddha, but the Jade Buddha still didn't launch an attack. The black whip then coiled around the Jade Buddha, wrapping it three times and transforming into a large black net that lifted the Jade Buddha off the ground, revealing the white clothes behind it.
Bai Qi emerged from the red mist, his long spear suddenly thrust out, rushing straight for the chest of the red-clothed boy. He had originally been crouching behind the Jade Buddha's back; as the Jade Buddha flew up, Bai Qi turned around and thrust out his spear, simultaneously spitting out six sword pellets.
The red-clothed boy was attacked, but he didn't panic. Instead, he pointed at Bai Qi with his finger, and a flame-shaped flower flew out from the tip of his finger.
This is the true yuan cultivation of the demon fire, with great power. Relying on this demon fire, Hongyi Tongzi dared to come to the door alone. As long as it's not a Jindan strongman, it's almost impossible to break his demon fire.
Bai's hand holding the Inverse Scale Spear began to tremble, its scales spreading wide. The flower formed by the demonic flames was sucked into the spear with a whoosh, rapidly transforming into a cyan-golden gas.
Bai Qi felt the meridians throughout his entire body suddenly expanding, the yuanqi contained within this ball of demonic flames was too enormous. The Inverse Scale Spear had absorbed eighty percent of it, yet Bai Qi still couldn't withstand it.
His body trembled slightly, and he barely grasped the hilt of the Inverse Scale Spear, but his footsteps came to a halt.
In the body, the majestic yuanqi is opening up a brand new meridian. The Reverse Scale Spear actually helped Bai Qi refine his Yao Xian's physique at this time. Bai Qi already knew that refining Yao Xian's physique required a lot of time, and this Reverse Scale Spear was not complete, each time it could only help him expand one new meridian.
This is not a bad thing, there are still great enemies in front of us!
This red-clothed child, no matter how you look at it, is a demon in the Hua Shen period. The gap between him and Bai Qi is too great, as long as he leaves the range of the Inverse Scale Gun's attack, he won't have a second chance to make a move.
That red-clothed child's body also began to tremble, his true fire of life being absorbed away, his internal organs violently shaking, starting to disintegrate into tiny particles. He had no idea how formidable a Qi-refining cultivator was; from the opening of his spiritual awareness until today, all the people he had seen were mountain villagers in the mountains.
The nearby cultivators were not powerful, and they knew that he had a cave on the mountain, so they didn't dare to provoke him. A demon of this level, if it rushed into those sects, could easily wipe out small sects directly.
As time went on, the red-clothed boy became proud and self-satisfied, coming out to play every day, also in the company of yin spirits. Originally, traveling with yin spirits was quite dangerous, but he was a worshipped demon god, not afraid of sunlight, and could use his innate demonic tool, demonic fire, as well as Daoist magic.
Having almost no experience in fighting with others, he used his demonic fire to burn Bai Qi, but was absorbed by the Inverse Scale Spear, which was equivalent to directly severely damaging his yin spirit.
With a loud crash, the jade Buddha fell to the ground. The black net that had bound it transformed back into a long whip, writhing on the ground like a snake with its head cut off.
Bai's hands and feet were numb, unable to move half an inch, but his mind was still clear. He quickly took out the demon spirit gourd. The demon spirit gourd flew up. The red-clothed boy was so scared that he almost died, and he kowtowed on the ground.
"Spare my life, immortal!"
Bai Qi hesitated for a moment, but the demon gourd didn't care about the child's plea for mercy. With a whooshing sound, it swallowed the child's yin spirit into the gourd. This child was a demon in the Hua Shen period, and it was a plant that had become a demon, its age dating back to the beginning of the Qin dynasty. Its yin spirit was extremely powerful, and if it hadn't encountered the Inverse Scale Spear, even with the demon gourd, Bai Qi would not have been able to defeat it.
That Jade Buddha fell to the ground, smiling as he gazed at the scene before him, as if knowing that this outcome was inevitable.
Bai Qi's body slowly softened and fell to the ground. Expanding new meridians requires a lot of yuanqi and physical strength, Bai Qi also couldn't hold on, and could only let the demon gourd absorb Hong Yi Tong Zi.
The dark spirit of the Red-clothed Boy entered the Gourd of the Demon Spirit, and saw the tall and majestic Shadow of the Heavenly God-Imprisoning Platform, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
The Azure Emperor is a demonic immortal who refined the Decapitating General's Sealing God Platform, and even if it were just an illusion, it wouldn't be something that a minor demon like the Red-Clothed Boy could withstand.
The demon gourd seemed to be hesitating, this red-clothed child was just a demon in the Hua Shen period, but the yin god was powerful, comparable to a great demon in the Jin Dan period. If he could cultivate the Jin Dan, then he would have the qualifications to ascend to the Zhan Jiang Feng Sheng platform and become a small demon soldier, shouting for the Qing Emperor.
If you want to become a great general of the Demon God Platform, at least you must achieve an immortal position, only then do you have this qualification.
This demon gourd, following the residual will of Qingdi, wants to restore the beheading platform of Fengshen, but Bai Qi has not yet cultivated to the level of Qingdi and cannot take control. The residual will of Qingdi also has no wisdom to speak of, and for a moment, it does not know how to judge what to take or give up.
That red-clothed child saw that he hadn't died, and there were only cyan and golden auras surrounding him. At this moment, good fortune arrived in his heart, and he crawled on the ground, wailing sorrowfully to the point of exhaustion.
"Don't kill me, I'm willing to surrender! I'll take you to find my true body, and we can refine the Taoist instrument together!"
The red-clothed child let out a loud roar, and the information had already been received by Bai Qi's mind. He nodded slightly, and the demon gourd flew back into his mysterious space after spinning around in a circle.
Inside the gourd of the demon spirit, the red-clothed boy felt that the yin spirit was no longer disintegrating. The cyan-golden aura seeped into the yin spirit, solidifying his physical form.
