Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 105: Kneeling and Licking the Demonic Knife
As more than a hundred blade qi were eliminated by Zhou Ping, Toadhead was completely dumbfounded. Its own cultivation was not high, and if it were not for the support of the blade qi, it would not have the capital to be arrogant.

The sword energy can be regenerated, but it requires the Toad Head to kneel down and lick the sword to sharpen it.

And it takes several days to get the sword energy. Now I can't get it even if I lick it.

Toadhead couldn't help but take two steps back.

The Toad Mother didn't understand the situation clearly: "Son, why don't you kill him quickly? I'm still waiting to find you a wife."

The toad head had a gloomy expression and his body instantly grew larger: "Stinky boy, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. If you hand the female ghost to me now, I can still let you go."

Zhou Ping raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Toadhead to be bluffing. He would not tolerate him.

Zhou Ping walked towards Zhou Ping holding the vajra. He must kill Toad Head today.

With Zhou Ping's cultivation at the peak of the eighth rank, it was still a bit difficult to deal with Toad Head. If it were in the past, he might have died here.

Zhou Ping had no reason to keep him.

Seeing that his bluffing was useless, Toad Head quickly changed back to his original form. He knelt down on his own grave and kowtowed to the Demon Sword Thousand Blades.

The body of the sharp knife kept shaking.

Zhou Ping frowned slightly and didn't dare to step forward.

"Blood, blood, blood."

A faint voice floated into Zhou Ping's ears. Could it be that the magic knife was speaking?
The Ruyi cassock on Zhou Ping's body is intelligent and can understand Zhou Ping's words, but it cannot speak.

But the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades can actually speak!
It is indeed a spiritual thing.

"Okay, okay, as long as you help me, I will give you blood after I kill this kid." Toad Head knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again.

In order to get Demon Knife Qianren to help him, Toadhead promised to sharpen Qianren's blood.

This blood is naturally human blood.

However, the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades remained unmoved, and the sound of "blood, blood, blood" continued to come out of the Demonic Sword.

"Everyone has run away, where can I get blood for you?" Toadhead was about to cry. The villagers had already fled, where could he get blood?

I am a ghost and have no blood, while Zhou Ping is a human, but I can't beat him.

Toadhead suddenly started and looked at his mother.

At the grave, only Toad Lady is still there. She is alive and has blood.

Seeing her son's sinister eyes, Toad Lady was a little scared. She didn't know what had happened.

"Son, what's wrong?" Toad Mother asked fearfully.

Toadhead looked at his mother and said, "Mom, my son is in trouble. You have to help me."

Toad Mother came to Toad Head and touched his illusory body: "Son, if you say that, your mother will definitely help you."

Toadhead nodded: "I know it, mom loves me the most. From childhood to adulthood, she gave me all the delicious food, even if you would rather not eat it. If there is something we don't have, as long as I want it, you will steal it for me."

Toad Lady: "Why are you saying these things? You are my son after all."

"But what my son wants today is your life." A vicious look flashed across the toad head's eyes, and then he pulled the toad girl's body and pressed her on the magic knife.

Toad Mother finally realized what Toad Head wanted to do: "Son, no, no, mother still wants to live, mother still wants to live."

However, Toad Girl was unable to withstand the power of Toad Head, and she was pressed down by the magic sword.

The magic knife cut through the Toad Girl's body and immediately began to absorb her blood.

Toad Girl's body began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in less than a moment, she turned into a mummy.

Zhou Ping gasped. How cruel! He actually used his own mother as a knife.

However, before Zhou Ping could be surprised, after the magic sword absorbed the blood, a huge demonic energy burst out from its body.

The momentum was too strong, far surpassing the sword energy of the Toad Head just now.

The sword energy comes from the magic sword. Comparing the two, one is a child and the other is a mother.

The sword energy was sharp, cutting around.

Knife marks kept appearing on the ground.

Golden light burst out from Zhou Ping's body, blocking the sword energy and preventing Lingxi's finger from being launched.

The fog was also dispersed by the explosion of the magic sword.

But the ghost bride immediately condensed new mist.

Fan Shiyi, who was hiding in the distance, saw the explosion of the magic knife and his face suddenly changed.

Xiaoqing's face also looked unhappy. She could feel the awakening of the magic sword and its power.

"Let Zhou Ping retreat, he can't win." Xiao Qing said.

Fan Shiyi nodded. She felt that sharpening a thousand blades was very familiar just now, but she couldn't remember it.

But as the evil spirit leaked out, Fan Shiyi knew the origin of the knife.

"Zhou Ping, let's go quickly. This knife is sharpened to a thousand blades. It is the sword of the Demon Lord."

"When the Demon Lord was young, he could use this sword to kill people several levels higher than his level. Countless souls died under its sword."

"Ordinary people can kill people by several levels with this knife."

"This sword devours death, and it has long since developed intelligence. Any magical weapon that has developed intelligence is not something you and I can deal with."

Fan Shiyi told everything he knew.

In the fog, Zhou Ping kept turning and moving.

After killing someone, the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades flew out from the grave and was held in the hand of Toad Head.

At this moment, Toadhead felt an unprecedented power. It was too strong!
With a light wave of his hand, the magic sword Thousand Blades drew a huge gully on the ground.

"Is this your true power? After I kill this man, I will take you to massacre the village! I will give you all the blood of the entire village." Toad Head did not forget to make promises to Demon Knife.

This trick is really powerful.

After hearing what Toad Head said, Mo Dao Qian Ren became even more ferocious, and the teeth of his saw became a little bigger.

There was a constant stream of knife energy slashing towards Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping drew his sword to respond, but the sword turned gray as soon as it touched the sword energy.

Zhou Ping was shocked and dodged quickly.

The sword energy cut through Zhou Ping's clothes, shattering his cuffs into pieces.

Fortunately, he had an indestructible body, which was able to block part of the attack, otherwise the Lingxi Finger would have been triggered again.

"What a strong sword energy." Zhou Ping said inwardly.

At this time, outside the fog, Fan Shiyi and Xiaoqing were anxious.

The blade energy of the magic sword broke through the fog.

Xiaoqing didn't notice it just now and was hit by the sword energy. Xiaoqing spat out a mouthful of blood.

This is the last gasp of the sword energy, but it is so strong. Xiaoqing doesn't even dare to think about facing the sword energy head-on.

"Zhou Ping, let's go." Fan Shiyi shouted. Ghosts are not scary, but the knife is too powerful.

Zhou Ping didn't say anything in the fog, but kept dodging.

The Demonic Sword Thousand Blades is indeed powerful, but Toad Head is a little weak. The power of the sword is very strong, but the speed is not fast.

Zhou Ping has adapted to the speed of the sword energy and he can dodge it.

It was still the same routine. Zhou Ping kept dodging the sword energy, and when he found the right opportunity, he would use the Prajna Palm.

It would be best if the Prajna Palm could attack Toad Head. Even if it can't, it can still affect his attacks.

About an incense stick later, Zhou Ping discovered something different.

The power of the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades has weakened.

The gully on the ground was originally very deep, but now it is only half of its original size. "Is it really the law of conservation of energy?" Zhou Ping knew in his heart that the Demonic Blade Qianren had absorbed a person's blood and had used up all its energy.

At this time, Zhou Ping's mood was calmer and more steady. He wanted to use up the magic sword.

As Zhou Ping's mood changed, his mind suddenly became clear, and he suddenly felt a cracking sound in his body.

Relying on the concept of "defense and counterattack", Zhou Ping's martial arts skills reached a new level.

Ninth-grade warrior!
Nowadays, Zhou Ping is an eighth-rank Buddhist, a ninth-rank Taoist, a ninth-rank warrior, and a tenth-rank Confucian.

As Zhou Ping's cultivation level improved, he felt a huge sense of emptiness.

The amount of spiritual energy his body endured doubled again.

When a normal person reaches a breakthrough in their cultivation, they will find a place to meditate and absorb spiritual energy, or use elixirs to assist.

But Zhou Ping didn't need it, as he had the inner elixir formed by the Tianling method.

The inner elixir is equivalent to a magic bottle that can replenish Zhou Ping's spiritual energy.

Zhou Ping's mind moved, and his inner elixir began to release spiritual energy.

But in a flash, the spiritual energy in his body was replenished.

As his spiritual energy was replenished, Zhou Ping's legs became stronger and his speed increased.

Toadhead's knife-swinging speed could not catch up with Zhou Ping at all.

At the same time, Zhou Ping's perception range also extended as his cultivation level increased.

Two hundred feet!
Before his cultivation level improved, Zhou Ping could sense up to 150 feet, but now his perception has increased by 50 feet.

Fan Shiyi and Xiaoqing could be felt from a distance of two hundred feet. They were anxiously looking into the mist, very worried about Zhou Ping.

"Brat, if you have the guts, take my sword." Toad Head said angrily. He also felt that the power of the magic sword had weakened.

Toadhead wanted to confront Zhou Ping head-on, but Zhou Ping refused to fight him.

Zhou Ping: "Of course I have guts. How can I fight you if I don't have guts?"

Zhou Ping's words were enough to piss Toadhead off. He refused to admit that he was a coward, and refused to fight with Toadhead.

"Go to hell!" Toadhead suddenly exploded, waving the magic knife in his hand without any rules.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of sword auras were thrown out.

Zhou Ping dodged quickly.

It’s just that the sword energy is too dense and is everywhere.

Although Zhou Ping tried his best to dodge, he was still hit by the sword energy.

Fortunately, Lingxi triggered it again with one finger, and Zhou Ping consumed another half of his lifespan.

On the other side, the toad head became even more illusory.

The power of the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades was insufficient and it had begun to devour the Toad-headed ghost's body.

Toadhead wanted to attack again, but he couldn't lift the magic sword Thousand Blades.

Toadhead panicked, he knew he could no longer use the Thousand Blades Demonic Sword.

"Uncle, Dad, Grandpa, help me again, I will take you to kill many, many people." Toad Head kept begging Demon Knife Qianren.

But Demonic Blade Thousand Blades was not moved at all.

Zhou Ping breathed a sigh of relief. By constantly fighting, he finally killed Toad Head.

"Go." Zhou Ping took out a talisman to ward off evil spirits.

Zhou Ping drew the talisman to ward off ghosts himself, and it can handle some small ghosts with no problem.

To deal with Toad Head, the Ghost-killing Talisman is enough.

The ghost-killing talisman flew out and landed on the toad head.

There was a burst of firecracker sounds coming from Toad Head's body, and his body became more illusory and was about to dissipate.

"I will come back." Toadhead stared at Zhou Ping fiercely, as if he wanted to keep him in mind.

Toadhead knew that his situation was hopeless, so he chose to escape.

But before he could run two steps, a fireball fell on Toad Head's body.

In just a flash, Toadhead was completely scared to death.

The ghost bride took action to kill Toad Head.

Zhou Ping smiled bitterly: "After fighting for a long time, the head was still stolen."

He originally wanted to devour Toad Head's soul and take a look at the memories of the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades.

Qinghe County.

Zhuque swung his long legs and asked nonchalantly, "How is Qinghe County doing recently?"

Captain Leng and Magistrate Mao knelt on the ground.

No matter how beautiful the long legs were, the two of them didn't have the courage to look at them.

Especially Captain Leng, he had lost one eye and didn't have the courage to look.

"In reply to your Excellency's words, in recent months, many people of unknown origin have come to Qinghe County. They have very high cultivation bases, and some are even seventh- and sixth-rank masters." Captain Leng was in the yamen, so he had more information.

After receiving the elixir from Zhuque, Captain Leng had already reached the eighth level of cultivation.

Originally, after Wang Cheng became the chief constable, he kept suppressing Chief Constable Leng. However, ever since Chief Constable Leng reached the eighth rank, Wang Cheng has become much more obedient.

The tenth and eighth grades are not in the same dimension at all.

If he was only one rank short, Wang Cheng would still feel that he had the strength to fight, but Captain Leng was already an eighth rank.

Not only that, as many people of unknown origin poured into Qinghe County, County Magistrate Lu had to use cold arrests in order to control these people of unknown origin.

Captain Leng therefore held a certain amount of power, and he was quite familiar with the origins of these people.

"In the past few months, the people who came here include the Zhang family from Jizhou, the Black Tiger Gang from Yongzhou, and more." Captain Leng reported these outsiders to Zhuque in detail.

"Okay, stop talking." Zhuque was a little unhappy. She interrupted the cold captain and asked, "What about you?"

Zhuque asked the two to pay attention to the abnormalities in Qinghe County. He was not referring to the outsiders who came, but the changes in the people who already existed in Qinghe County.

Zhuque is investigating the person whose body the Demon Lord has taken over.

County Magistrate Mao, who was standing by, knew that Zhuque was talking about him, and said hurriedly, "Your Excellency, I have investigated the original residents of Qinghe County and found two people who were different from ordinary people."

"One is Chen San from the west of the city. He used to be a night incense seller, but recently he stopped selling night incense. He became rich overnight and started to hang out at the Jiaofangsi day and night."

"There is also a man named Song Cheng. He used to be a teacher, but recently he stopped teaching and went hunting in Qinglong Mountain instead."

"I investigated the two men. Chen San had a magical instrument that could change his appearance. He used this to cheat a lot of money from several wealthy families."

"As for Song Cheng, I haven't discovered anything special about him yet."

Magistrate Mao said. His direction was completely different from that of Captain Leng, but it was also the direction Zhuque wanted to investigate.

"Not bad." Zhuque was in a better mood. "It can change a person's appearance. This should be the magic weapon of the Demon Lord, which can make a person imitate the appearance of another person."

Zhuque also told the two of them the news that the Demon Lord had released his magic weapon before his death, which was why so many outsiders came to Qinghe County and Qingyuan County.

They all came to hunt for treasure.

However, according to Zhuque, most of the magic weapons of the Demon Lord fell on Qinglong Mountain. The magic weapons scattered in Qinghe County and Qingyuan County are all small gadgets.

For example, that painted skin is actually not very useful.

"By the way, please pay attention to whether there is a knife left in the county. This knife has a strange shape and many serrations on the blade."

"If there is any trace of this knife, please contact me immediately."

"The Thousand Blades Demon Sword is one of the few magical weapons that are still acceptable."
