Chapter 149: Killing Two Saint Envoys! Merit Points Accumulate to Three Thousand Jin!
Chapter 149: Killing Two Saint Envoys! Merit Points Accumulate to Three Thousand Jin!
The journey's end appears, without a hint of struggle,
Qin Zheng's eyes spark with brilliance.
The appearance of two Saint Envoys did not startle Qin Zheng; instead, it brought him joy!
He never expected that, just as they were about to leave the Moxu Demon Cavern, two top-tier demons would appear, offering him merit points!
With their strength and realm, their karmic hindrances must be profound!
After slaying them, his merit points would surely reach three thousand jin!
Qin Zheng's figure suddenly burst through the earth, arriving before a colossal bull demon, roughly five zhang in height.
With a startling arrow shot from his bow, the Mountain-Moving Bull King was caught off guard, taking the arrow head-on. His chest armor shattered, and blood and flesh became a blur.
As the bull demon grimaced in pain, Qin Zheng appeared, colliding with the surging rage that welled up within the bull demon's heart.
He raised an unknown massive bone club in his hand, and with a surge of power throughout his body, he struck down with full force!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each strike, the air reverberated with sharp, piercing blasts, filled with immense power.
Facing the bull demon's near-full-force blow, Qin Zheng grasped the hilt of his sword, and his essence energy swiftly emerged, coiling around his arms.
Then, from below, he pulled with immense force!
Whoosh!
A fiercely sharp sword essence slashed out, causing the bull demon's club, which was like a mountain, to halt momentarily.
Immediately after, the great saber reversed its course, slashing upwards and striking the club!
This bone club, whose origin was unknown, was incredibly hard, and even Qin Zheng's saber failed to sever it.
However, the thick and powerful force, upon contact between the saber and the club, instantly surged like a flood, overwhelming the bull demon.
The bull demon felt as if his club had struck an unyielding object, preventing it from continuing downward.
And then, a thick and mighty force, like a raging river, surged forward, crashing and overwhelming its power.
Boom!!
At this moment, the sound of a massive collision reverberated.
The Mountain-Moving Bull King struggled to control his body, and as the force from the club surged, his arms were shaken, and the club flew upwards.
His massive body staggered backward, dissipating the force that had entered his body.
But Qin Zheng gave him no time to catch his breath!
With a stomp of his foot, he leaped and slashed downward once more!
Thick essence energy burst forth, condensing into a three-zhang-long saber, seemingly capable of tearing through the void, aimed at the bull demon's face.
With ferocious force, he slashed down!
Whoosh!
A hint of solemnity flashed in the bull demon's eyes, and he forcefully controlled his body, summoning all his power for another strike.
This human, who had slain the Azure Dragon Lord, was indeed formidable!
The essence energy-condensed saber also slashed downward without hesitation!
This time, without pause, the saber descended, piercing through the club, and from the bull's head downward, it sliced through!
Pfft!
A trail of blood appeared.
Boom!
The bull demon's body exploded, turning into a shower of bloody rain!
Another Saint Envoy of the Moxu Demon Cavern had fallen!
The entire process, akin to slaying a giant python, lasted only for a few breaths.
A wisp of his spirit sank into his sea of consciousness, confirming the merit points.
Only then did Qin Zheng turn to look in Zhao Li's direction.
Zhao Li was engaged in a difficult battle.
Essence energy enveloped his entire body like armor, and he wielded his long weapon with agility.
However, the demon he faced was incredibly fast, moving like a shadow.
It constantly appeared and disappeared around Zhao Li, leaving him with wounds each time.
Although the wounds were not deep, their increasing number further deteriorated Zhao Li's condition.
Indeed, the Saint Envoy was a realm above, a powerful demon under the Moxu Great Sage.
Zhao Li couldn't gain any advantage against this demon.
As Qin Zheng's gaze fell upon the demon, it suddenly froze, and a cold, fierce look turned towards him.
"You killed that wild bull?!"
At this moment, both Qin Zheng and Zhao Li finally got a clear look at the demon's face.
Long ears, red eyes, and white fur.
It was a rabbit demon, the Galefoot Rabbit King!
Qin Zheng gripped his saber, and with a stomp of his foot, he transformed into a golden light, charging forward.
"You're next!"
His cold voice echoed through the wilderness.
The rabbit demon cackled, "Interesting!"
With those words, it vanished into the wind.
It abandoned Zhao Li, choosing to confront the more threatening Qin Zheng.
Demon and human closed in on each other!
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he channeled his power, condensing essence energy, and slashed with his saber!
Whoosh!
The sharp saber essence slashed out like a crescent moon, flashing forward.
But at that moment, the rabbit demon moved, disappearing like a phantom, vanishing from Qin Zheng's sight.
Such speed!
It was the fastest he had ever encountered since embarking on his martial path.
Qin Zheng focused his gaze, halting his advance, and his senses spread like flowing water, rapidly expanding in all directions.
"You brute."
At the same moment, a gust of wind suddenly appeared behind him, accompanied by a somewhat mocking voice.
This extremely swift and agile Rabbit Lord saw through at a glance that Qin Zheng was just a brute who relied solely on brute force!
And in the face of such a brute, a great monster like it, which prided itself on speed, was the most powerless! It could weaken the opponent time and again, and finally kill it in a sudden attack! This was its usual method of killing enemies! However, this time, just as it was about to get close to Qin Zheng, leave a mocking comment, and then attack and leave—
It saw the brute suddenly turn his head and look at it.
Then, in the movement of his lips, a thunderous roar erupted!
Zha!!
Boom!!
In an instant, it felt as if the heavens and earth were shaking in its divine soul! It instantly lost control of its body!
Not good!! A panicked thought flashed through its mind amidst the intense pain in its divine soul.
Then, a large hand instantly grabbed its neck.
Before it could struggle or resist, the hand tightened, and an overwhelmingly powerful force surged out, snapping its neck in an instant! The Galefoot Rabbit King fell!
And at this moment, the blade aura that Qin Zheng had previously unleashed was just cutting into a nearby mountain peak, splitting it in two before disappearing.
In other words, Qin Zheng had killed this Rabbit Lord in just a few breaths!
Peng! He released the dead Rabbit Demon's body.
A thread of his mind entered his heart sea and looked at the Merit Scroll.
Then, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Indeed, being under the Great Sage, these two top-tier demons were worth three thousand pounds of merit, which was enough.
Qin Zheng then skillfully extracted the demon core.
The Bull Demon aside, this Rabbit Demon's speed was indeed far beyond Qin Zheng's comprehension.
Its speed was even faster than the Rabbit Demon he had previously intercepted and killed among the twenty-four great demons!
He was very curious whether he could obtain the corresponding martial skill by refining this Rabbit Demon's demon core.
Holding the Rabbit Demon's demon core in his hand, it was lustrous and smooth, with a faint, slightly fishy smell.
In his heart sea, the Merit Scroll gently trembled, and a line of text appeared.
【Item Found: Rabbit Lord Demon Core, Can be Refined, Requires 10 Pounds of Merit, Refine Now?】
【Note: Refining will grant Skill: Galefoot Shadow Technique】
It really can!
Qin Zheng's lips curled up, quite satisfied.
The current situation was not suitable for refining the demon core; he would wait until he returned to do so.
He took another step, approached the Bull Demon's corpse, extracted the demon core, and put it in his pocket.
Then he took another step, used his lightness skill, and approached Zhao Li.
"Let's go, Senior."
Qin Zheng spoke calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Hearing Qin Zheng's voice, Zhao Li seemed to wake up from his shock and regain his senses.
He looked at Qin Zheng, his lips moved, but he held back his words.
In just a short while, Qin Zheng had actually slain three Saint Envoys in succession! These were not ordinary demons but some of the most powerful demons under the Great Sage, or they wouldn't be Saint Envoys!
He had originally planned to bring this young man to see the world, to witness the numerous and powerful demons in the demon caves.
But unexpectedly, he ended up being a mere accessory and a burden.
Finally, Zhao Li sighed lightly, and his gaze towards Qin Zheng became more gentle.
"Alright, let's go."
With such a heavenly pride in Qingzhou, it would certainly not fall! With Qin Zheng's talent, even if he couldn't influence the overall situation in the short term, he would definitely affect some people's judgments.
After all, if nothing went wrong, the chances of Qin Zheng advancing to the Martial Saint realm were extremely high! Neither the Great Jin court nor the Quanyang Gao Clan could ignore the opinion of a Martial Saint!
Thinking of this, Zhao Li's anxious emotions were somewhat alleviated.
Then, the two immediately used their lightness skills and continued to rush towards Qingzhou.
---
Qingzhou.
Yongle Prefecture, Xuan'en Prefecture.
This was the political and economic center of Qingzhou, and also the largest city in Qingzhou!
Without any demon invasions, the people here lived in peace and prosperity, and the entire city was vibrant and thriving!
On this day, a figure in a blue robe appeared at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
"Who are you?!"
Seeing this figure, the two guards guarding the gate frowned and coldly demanded.
Wei Wujie chuckled lightly, shaking his head in helplessness, and said, "I have protected Qingzhou for decades, and this is the first time I've heard a guard ask who I am."
Pausing, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and he continued, "This Yongle Prefecture is truly being governed like a paradise, isn't it?"
The unhidden coldness in his tone instantly made the two guards realize something was wrong.
Just as they were about to draw their swords and continue questioning—
Boom!!
The figure in the blue robe suddenly burst with a powerful aura!
It shot up into the sky, stirring the winds and clouds!
In the stunned gazes of the two guards, Wei Wujie, with his hands behind his back, shouted, "Gao Wenyu, come out and speak!"
