Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 109 Ghost Sword Devours Nine Heads

Therefore, it is virtually impossible to resolve a battle using saturation attacks.

Unless you have money.

Jiang Xi'er is an alchemist, and her master is the renowned Master Wanyi. The Thunder Extreme Talisman, a top-grade offensive talisman, is no less expensive than a high-grade magic weapon.

Dealing with the Nine-Headed Demon Bird would probably be no less than a strike from a seventh-grade Grand Cultivator.

"I'll go seduce her, you guys hide."

Lending the Senluo Treasure Canopy to the alluring young woman Guhuoniao who had transformed into human form, Gu Qing transformed into a dazzling ball of fire and rushed into the mass grave.

Boom————

The earth cracked open, and a large number of flames spread out from Gu Qing as the center. Two fire dragons rose from his feet amidst the raging flames, their sound like thunder.

"Nine-headed bird, why aren't you coming out to die?!"

"Wow!!!"

With eighteen ghostly wings soaring in the sky, this nine-headed bird emerged from the ground, its black feathers adorned with blood-stained patterns, resembling a blood-soaked corpse.

The nine heads resembled snake heads, undulating and swaying uncertainly.

It looked at Gu Qing and sneered disdainfully.

"It's laughable that someone would dare to slay demons and monsters all by himself."

"Wow!"

With another hiss, hundreds of ghostly flames that Gu Qing had dispersed rose into the air, scattering around the nine-headed bird. The ghostly flames took shape, and pale, ghostly creatures appeared one after another.

Their appearances were gruesome, some human, some demon, all filled with resentment.

Gu Qing reached out and summoned three fire shields that swirled around him. He drew his twin swords of wind and fire, which transformed into streaks of blue and red light as they slashed through the ghost horde.

These little devils were quite formidable.

With a strength of only around the ninth rank, he couldn't withstand Gu Qing's twin swords.

The nine-headed bird raised three heads, and a pillar of ghostly green, poisonous flames attacked Gu Qing, flashing with crimson light.

The pre-arranged sea of ​​fire was Gu Qing's domain.

Fire Release Technique allows him to achieve a space-traveling effect within flames; as long as his reaction is fast enough, no one can hit him.

A perfected Five Elements Escape Technique can provide a significant advantage in battles between true cultivators!

Suddenly shifted.

Gu Qing appeared directly below the nine-headed bird, raised his sword finger, and the Youlong Sword Qi transformed into Jiaolong Qi, surging upwards.

The nine-headed bird's six wings overlapped to protect its lower body.

His ghostly eyes were filled with rage.

"Despicable humans."

Several attacks failed to achieve the desired result. This nine-headed bird was at least at the eighth-rank extreme level, a realm higher than him.

With a flick of her wrist, eight flame-burst beads scattered like flowers from a fairy maiden.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Eight explosions rang out in succession, and the night was instantly illuminated by a sea of ​​fire that covered the sky.

A single-use explosion of a mid-grade magic weapon, with unparalleled power.

Fire Release technique is used again.

The Nine Forbidden Locks were flung out from Gu Qing's sleeve and plunged into the sea of ​​fire. At the same time, the golden firebird formed from the Crimson Crow's divine consciousness attacked the Nine-Headed Bird.

Under multiple pressures, the nine-headed bird was temporarily unable to move.

"Jiang Xi!"

Such a wonderful opportunity.

The Thunder Talisman transformed into a bolt of lightning nearly three zhang in diameter and crashed down.

Gu Qing's eyes widened in shock.

A lightning bolt ten meters thick is a bit excessive.

"Wow!!!"

The pain of its body being torn apart caused the nine-headed bird to scream repeatedly, and its entire body turned charred black.

Three breaths later, the Thunder Talisman's effect disappeared.

Jiang Xi began by forming hand seals. Like Gu Qing, she was also a cultivator who practiced the fire path. The three fire dragons and the Nine Forbidden Locks bound the nine-headed bird tightly.

Five more blazing flames flew in, imposing a third layer of restraint.

Gu Qing lightly tapped his chest, and the Ghost-Slaying Sword moved with incredible speed, piercing the nine-headed bird's chest in the blink of an eye.

A chilling swallowing sound rang out.

Gulp, Gulp~
The nine-headed bird's body withered rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the powerless nine-headed bird was completely devoured by the Demon-Slaying Sword. The aura of this spiritual artifact surged greatly.

As its master, Gu Qing could sense a new protective barrier forming inside, called [Curse Blood]. If this barrier was completed, the Ghost-Slaying Sword would become a true low-grade spiritual weapon.

"Senior Brother Gu, this sword of yours..."

"It's alright. Don't be fooled by its evil nature. It's only effective against ghosts. It was originally intended as a trump card to deal with the Nine-Headed Bird, but I didn't expect it to be so useless."

Gurgle~

Holding the canopy, Guhuoniao swallowed her resentment with difficulty and smiled brightly.

Actually, don't think the Nine-Headed Bird is incompetent just because the battle ended quickly.

Firstly, Jiang Xi'er launched a sneak attack, catching her opponent off guard. Gu Qing caught her off guard with a series of moves, preventing her from even using her strongest abilities.

Secondly, the power of thunder is extremely strong and yang, making it too effective at suppressing yin and ghostly entities.

Thirdly, Gu Qing's Crimson Crow Divine Sense was far beyond the standard, exceeding the level expected for this realm, almost reaching the standard of the lower seventh rank, and also belonging to the extreme Yang power.

Being hit like that, one would be disoriented for at least a dozen breaths.

The subsequent Nine Forbidden Locks were entirely a response by Gu Qing to conceal the effectiveness of his divine sense.

Of course, you could also say he's cautious.

With multiple factors combined, this ferocious bird died unjustly; Gu Qing had probably used about 60% of his strength.

If it were a rogue cultivator or an ordinary disciple of Baiyue Mountain, it wouldn't be so easy to defeat them. In fact, if the Nine-Headed Bird were to use its bloodline technique, there would be a risk of death.

The remaining imps had no chance to fight back under the onslaught of the Wind and Fire Swords and were wiped out in no time.

The ground was covered in ghostly dust.

This thing can be considered a low-level Yin attribute material. If Gu Qing collects them all, they can be worth a few spirit stones.

"Once this matter is settled, I will return to Tianjiazhuang and put an end to it."

"What to do next is up to Junior Sister Jiang."

"it is good."

After waiting for three-quarters of an hour, and until the Ghost-Slaying Sword had absorbed the corpse of the Nine-Headed Bird, Gu Qing stored it in his Qi Sea, waiting for the third treasure restriction to form.

The two men and the bird returned to Tianjiazhuang.

After giving instructions to the village chief, the sky gradually brightened, and the night passed.

Shonai.

In the empty little house, Jiang Xi'er talked about her plans for the future.

"The Azure Cloud Fire is a product of the condensation and sinking of clouds over ten thousand years, which then materializes and is often accompanied by Azure Cloud Crystals."

Gu Qing really didn't know anything about this.

"Sky Cloud Crystal? The name sounds like a material with spatial properties?"

"Yes."

"Sky Cloud Crystal is a high-grade seventh-rank spatial material, and one of the best materials for refining Sumeru Treasures."

Gu Qing nodded thoughtfully; he would take the thing.

"Therefore, if you want to find the Azure Cloud Fire, there is a certain probability in several places in the Falling Cloud Mountains where the clouds are dense all year round."

“Beforehand, my master pointed out a clear path for me.”

"Clouds are the product of water rising. The largest lake in the Falling Cloud Mountains is the Rosemary Lake, which is located deep in the clouds. The Azure Cloud Fire is very likely located here."

Looking at Jiang Xi'er's confident expression.

Gu Qing affirmed.

"I'll do whatever you say. Leave the Jiang and Xia families' rivals to me."

"Okay, then it's settled."

"We set off at the beginning of Chenshi (7-9 AM)."

"Ah."

After Jiang Xi'er left, Gu Qing turned to look at the Guhuoniao, pulled out a chair, and leaned in with an air of nonchalance.

"Tell me?"

The Guhuoniao gave a forced smile.

"What does Master Dao want me to say?"

"Anything else... about the Lesser Netherworld?"
