Chapter 3464 Testing the Demon-Revealing Mirror

As a powerful weapon used to suppress evil spirits in the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty, the Demon-Revealing Mirror possesses the immense power to defeat the demon race.

Any demonic energy that is detected by the Demon-Revealing Mirror will inevitably be attacked by it.

Demons will be attacked if they get close to the Demon-Revealing Mirror, let alone control it.

As long as Zhang Xuezhou dares to reach out and grasp the magical artifact in an attempt to control the Demon-Revealing Mirror, this precious treasure will suffer a series of blows.

"How about it?"

"Don't mess with me, I'll get beaten to death!"

Zhang Xuezhou didn't dare to try it on his own, so he called Kong Ning over.

He wanted to draw upon the power of the Demon-Revealing Mirror, but he needed to make sure he wouldn't be killed by it. After all, he only wanted to use external force to refine his physical body and didn't expect to suffer a continuous barrage of attacks until he died.

This requires not only determining the power of the demon-revealing mirror, but also confirming its ability to escape after being attacked.

Zhang Xuezhou thought he could use the "demon-revealing mirror" to test Kong Ning, record the results, and then compare them with his own experience to determine the time he had endured and the distance he had to escape the influence.

Kong Ning was clearly terrified of this; she had come to use the demon-revealing mirror to avoid disaster, not to be beaten.

Chang'an City is a place of great importance for the Demon-Revealing Mirror, and all demons avoid it; this has been a long-standing belief among demons.

That's why no one would have imagined that Kong Ning would live in such a dangerous area.

Upon learning that the brocade box on Zhang Xuezhou's desk contained a magical artifact for controlling the Demon-Revealing Mirror, Kong Ning nearly revealed his true form and fled Chang'an City; he no longer dared to conduct the test.

"I provide you with food and lodging, and you won't even help me with this little thing?" Zhang Xuezhou complained.

"You and Yi Shuo speak exactly the same way!"

Kong Ning, looking distressed, touched the clothes she was wearing and then her stomach, feeling that the hardest debts to repay were those owed to others.

It seemed like just a place to eat and stay, but it really left her with no other options, as Kong Ning couldn't find any other place that offered free food and lodging.

In short, you have to do the work you don't want to do.

"Don't worry, it's just that you were hit by the Demon-Revealing Mirror. Other demons might be fine, but you're fast enough to escape after being hit," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I just feel that it's unreasonable to be beaten like this. Why should I be the one to take the blame just because you have the magic weapon, the Demon-Revealing Mirror!"

"I'm just trying to broaden your horizons!"

Kong Ning looked indignant.

She had previously disregarded Zhang Xuezhou, but she needed to respect him for controlling the "demon-revealing mirror." Providing him with food and drink made her grateful, while controlling the mirror was a real deterrent.

The brocade box was opened, revealing a bronze mirror about the size of a palm.

Kong Ning glanced at the bronze mirror and saw her black, three-tailed peacock head reflected in it, instantly sending chills down her spine.

"dying!"

She cried out, then leaped towards the door, her demonic form quickly materializing as she spread her wings and soared into the sky.

In the dark night sky, a white light flew out from the East Gate Garden, relentlessly pursuing Kong Ning, who was flying away like a streak of light.

"You could increase your speed!"

The Demon-Revealing Mirror behind him possessed immense power, like a ball of flame. Every time it chased and struck Kong Ning, it caused him pain and numbness, forcing him to desperately unleash his demonic power, which in turn triggered an even more violent burst of power from the Demon-Revealing Mirror.

Hearing Zhang Xuezhou's urging voice, Kong Ning really wanted to strangle him.

"You wait for me!"

She cried out, and a red light flashed from her demonic tail feathers, increasing her speed once again.

However, this also corresponds to the increased power of the Demon-Revealing Mirror, which makes Kong Ning's heart tremble. No matter how much she improves her own abilities, the Demon-Revealing Mirror will unleash even stronger power to counter her.

Despite only a few brief moments of contact, Kong Ning's tail feathers were already charred, and her body was torn and bleeding. If she couldn't fly out of the range of the Demon-Revealing Mirror's attacks, these intermittent blows would pose a fatal threat to her.

"The current flying speed is too slow, at least two levels below that of the Peacock King!"

The disgruntled voices beside him urged him on, which made Kong Ning even more irritable. The divine light of the tail feathers reappeared behind him, and the demonic aura of his demonic body surged and emerged continuously.

"If I get beaten to death, my dad will never let you get away with it!"

Kong Ning shouted, and the peacock demon body flashed with a brief brilliance before turning into a stream of light in the darkness.

But while venting his dissatisfaction, Kong Ning was also astonished by Zhang Xuezhou's remarkably easy pursuit.

She had already unleashed her sub-speed, and Zhang Xuezhou, who was easily catching up, still had energy to spare and didn't care about her mere leaping speed.

"Your abilities have disappointed me a bit!"

Zhang Xuezhou's sigh was extremely hateful, and the superimposed divine light of the Demon-Revealing Mirror behind him terrified Kong Ning. She was certain that such divine light would be too much for her demonic body to withstand.

Whenever she is injured, her speed will inevitably slow down, leading to a series of devastating attacks.

Kong Ning felt she shouldn't have gotten up at night to eavesdrop. She overheard Zhang Xuezhou's furtive conversation with someone and was pulled over by Zhang Xuezhou to test the "demon-revealing mirror."

As her body unleashed its final burst of acceleration, Kong Ning heard Zhang Xuezhou become slightly more satisfied and begin to mention that her flying ability was only one level below that of the Peacock King.

The other person's voice faded into the distance, and just as Kong Ning was about to curse, he felt a glint of light flash in his eyes.

This time, Zhang Xuezhou refrained from mocking Kong Ningfei and instead pointed out the flaws in his flying technique.

Although Zhang Xuezhou was narrating "The Peacock Transformation," a topic that Kong Ning was extremely familiar with, Kong Ning had to admit that her cultivation was inadequate, and her understanding of this Taoist art was even inferior to Zhang Xuezhou's.

Now is not the time to study "The Peacock Transformation", but as long as the operating and flight states are corrected as Zhang Xuezhou said, there is indeed hope to improve her speed.

"If my dad hadn't told me to hold back and not to stand out too much, I would have gone up already!"

Although he was unconvinced, Kong Ning did not remain stubborn and inflexible, after all, Zhang Xuezhou's coaching was indeed excellent.

The adjustment of her demonic power gave her body a streamlined shape, increasing her flying speed by nearly 10%.

This enhancement is inferior to the demonic power condensed from her tail feathers, but it can still provide long-term and stable benefits to her flight.

If he doesn't get killed by the Demon-Revealing Mirror tonight, Kong Ning feels he'll have gained something; as for being killed or seriously injured, there's nothing he can do about it.

Numbness and tingling sensations kept surging through her mind, while a cool sensation would occasionally float by. Kong Ning was slightly surprised, but Zhang Xuezhou shouted at her repeatedly, forcing her to focus all her attention on escaping the range of the Demon-Revealing Mirror.

"You almost died in Chang'an..."

"If you want to improve your strength, you need to run like this more often!"

Only when the white light that struck his body disappeared and he no longer felt the demon-revealing mirror locking onto his body did Kong Ning fall during his life-or-death escape.

Before she could finish her rant, Zhang Xuezhou was already there, encouraging Kong Ning to practice like this more often.

"I almost died the first time I ran it, and I even got injured. If I ran it a few more times, I'd definitely die!"

Kong Ning argued back, but when she looked back, there were no traces of injury on her tail.

The stinging burns from before felt like a dream, with only a few tattered feathers remaining as evidence of the demon-revealing mirror's impact.

"I can't die!"

Dispersing the residual magic power of the Taiqing True Technique in his hand, Zhang Xuezhou turned back to look at Chang'an City in the night.

The aftershocks of the Demon-Revealing Mirror had dissipated, and its power was not released again. They, like fleeting shadows, escaped the range of the Demon-Revealing Mirror's attack, but Zhang Xuezhou could still sense the residual destructive power of the Mirror.

He was somewhat familiar with this power, much like the immeasurable jade disc they possessed in the real world.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Demon-Revealing Mirror might be similar; this treasure might belong to the remnants of some powerful being and had become a treasure that could overcome the demon race.

The depths of natural treasures are difficult to fathom, but the depths of living beings have limits, which gave Zhang Xuezhou a better understanding of the situation.
