Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 107 Ninth Grade Warrior

Zhou Ping exited the Demon Lord's memory and looked at the demon sword Thousand Blades that kept rubbing against his arm.

He has established a connection with the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades.

This feeling is very strange, very similar to the relationship between him and the ghost baby, they can sense each other.

But the feeling of the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades is closer to Zhou Ping than the ghost baby.

It's like an extension of Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping didn't need to give any orders, the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades could act according to his own ideas.

Zhou Ping understood that this was because he had the memory of the Demon Lord in his body. The memory of the Demon Lord was equivalent to the soul to some extent.

Zhou Ping took out the scabbard and prepared to put the magic knife Qianren into it. Such a good magic weapon should not be wasted.

Zhou Ping already knew how powerful the Demon Sword Thousand Blades was through the Demon Lord's memories and his fight with Toad Head.

With this magic weapon, Zhou Ping can easily kill people above his level.

In this battle, Zhou Ping lost two years of his life, but he obtained the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades, which was worth it.

Not only that, Zhou Ping's martial arts level has improved again, and he has reached the ninth level of martial arts.

Zhou Ping's overall strength has now reached the seventh rank! The amount of spiritual energy in his body is about the same as that of the seventh rank.

Even Xiaoqing is probably no match for Zhou Ping.

What's more, Zhou Ping already has the magic sword Thousand Blades, so Xiaoqing is no match for him.

However, the Demonic Blade Qianren had serrations on it, so it couldn't be inserted into the scabbard. Zhou Ping's sword had been destroyed by the sword energy, and only slag was left on the ground.

"It's too big and has too many teeth. It would be better if there were none at all." Zhou Ping complained.

The appearance of the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades is so recognizable that Fan Shiyi recognized it.

If I carry this knife with me and it is exposed, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

As Zhou Ping was thinking this, the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades suddenly shattered into pieces.

Then, the fragments reassembled and turned into a knife again.

This time, the appearance of the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades is the same as that of an ordinary sword.

Zhou Ping successfully put the magic sword Thousand Blades into the scabbard.

However, when Zhou Ping looked at the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades, he felt something was wrong.

"Oh, right, the hilt." Zhou Ping saw that the scar on the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades was pitch black, with a tiny skull printed on it.

"It's a bit too domineering, and the handle has become more ordinary." Zhou Ping said again.

However, this time, the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades did not change immediately, but instead conveyed its own emotions.

Demon Knife Qianren expressed his unwillingness, saying that an ordinary scar was too ugly.

Zhou Ping won't tolerate it: "If you don't change, I'll leave you here."

The Demonic Blade Qianren was reluctant, but still changed its appearance.

In the end, the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades turned into an ordinary sword.

"Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping."

Fan Shiyi and Xiaoqing rushed into the fog, looking around cautiously.

The two men kept calling out to Zhou Ping to run away, but Zhou Ping refused to leave, and later there was no movement in the fog.

The two were worried about Zhou Ping, so they rushed into the fog.

"It's okay." Zhou Ping chuckled.

"never mind?"

Xiaoqing looked around vigilantly, but did not find Toad Head nor the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades.

There was only a dried corpse on the ground.

"What's going on?" Fan Shiyi didn't believe that Zhou Ping could kill Toad Head who had the magic sword Thousand Blades.

"Toadhead couldn't use the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades, but he sacrificed his mother to the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades in exchange for the power."

"I couldn't hit him well, so I had to dodge. Fortunately, I was quite fast, so I kept dodging."

"After about an incense stick, the power of the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades weakened."

"Toadhead also discovered this, so he ran away. Oh, and he also scolded me for being cowardly and not daring enough to fight him head-on."

Zhou Ping did not say that he used the magic sword Thousand Blades to kill Toad Head.

Once a magical weapon like the Thousand Blades Demon Sword is exposed, I'm afraid both the righteous and the evil will cause trouble for me.

Fan Shiyi was silent for a moment, then nodded. She believed what Zhou Ping said.

After all, the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades is not here.

"Zhou Ping, could it be that you killed the ghost and stole the magic sword Thousand Blades?" Xiao Qing didn't believe it.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Before Zhou Ping could explain, Fan Shiyi explained it for him.

"The Demonic Knife has a thousand blades and is extremely ferocious. I heard from my father that anyone below the third rank who touches it will die."

"Even if someone above the third rank can hold the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades, they can't use it."

"Although the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades is not a holy weapon, it is also spiritual."

Fan Shiyi explained.

Zhou Ping breathed a sigh of relief. He had not expected Fan Shiyi to cover up for him.

Of course, Fan Shiyi was not trying to cover up on purpose, he was just telling what he knew.

Xiaoqing was still a little suspicious. She climbed onto Zhou Ping, turned around a few times, and looked at Zhou Ping's knife again, but could not see any clues.

Zhou Ping pulled the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades out of its scabbard. The Demonic Blade Thousand Blades had changed so much that even the Demon Lord would not be able to recognize it.

Xiaoqing looked at Zhou Ping's knife carefully again and no longer had any doubts.

"Xiaoqing, you're overthinking it. Not only Zhou Ping, but even I can't lift the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades!" Fan Shiyi said with a smile.

Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at Fan Shiyi: "Look at you, you are still wearing a thick coat in the middle of summer. Look at what Zhou Ping is wearing. You are so weak, and you still dare to compete with Zhou Ping."

Fan Shiyi smiled awkwardly.

Zhou Ping shook his head: "So I am someone else."

The three men told the village the news of Toadhead's escape.

The people in the village were half happy and half worried.

The three brides and their families were the happiest because they didn't have to marry Toad Head.

The village chief and several elders were quite worried. They were afraid that Toad Head would come to take revenge.

Zhou Ping gave some yellow talismans to the villagers and told them that they could kill ghosts.

The talisman eliminated the villagers' fear of Toad Head. They thought that since Zhou Ping and others could drive Toad Head away, the talisman could also control ghosts.

Of course Zhou Ping would not tell them that Toad Head had been killed by him, so he gave them the talisman to ward off evil spirits to give them psychological comfort.

The villagers were very grateful to the three men and treated them to a good meal.

After leaving the village, Fan Shiyi touched his stomach and couldn't help but sigh: "Although there is nothing delicious in the countryside, the game is not bad."

"Yes, yes." Xiaoqing agreed, her belly had become fatter.

The food doesn't matter, what's important is that it feels great to be a hero.

Zhou Ping smiled lightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Brother Fan, is the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades really that powerful?"

Zhou Ping obtained the Demon Lord's memory, and he already knew how powerful the Demon Sword Thousand Blades was. The reason he asked this was to find out Liu Ruyan's identity.

Zhang Ziling, Zhang family, Liu Ruyan, is there any connection between them?

In the Demon Lord's memory, he was looking for someone in the Zhang family, but he didn't find anyone. However, in a casual glance, the Demon Lord saw a person.

This person is Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan's appearance at this time was already the same as when Zhou Ping saw her, full of mature charm. Her eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as the current Liu Ruyan.

It’s just that in the eyes of the Demon Lord, Liu Ruyan had an ethereal air that was otherworldly, but now Liu Ruyan has become more fragile and worldly.

Zhou Ping was extremely sure that this person was Liu Ruyan. But why was Liu Ruyan in Zhang's house? And what was Zhang's house?

"The Demonic Sword Thousand Blades is naturally extremely powerful. Its most famous battle was the one with Zhang Ziling of the Taoist Tianzong." Fan Shiyi thought for a moment and then said.

Zhou Ping's heart tightened. Zhang Ziling!

He did not disturb Fan Shiyi, but listened to her continue talking, while he silently wrote down a few words.

Through Fan Shiyi's narration, Zhou Ping knew who Zhang Ziling was and what the Zhang family was.

In ancient times, the land of Kyushu did not belong to humans, but to demons.

Humans are merely food for the demons, providing them with yang energy, just like the relationship between humans and leeks.

Later, a brilliant mission appeared in the human race, Daozu!
Daozu opened up a path for human cultivation, and then led the human race to drive the demon race out of Jiuzhou.

The human race then began to multiply, and up to now there have been ten thousand years and six dynasties.

The Taoist's real name is no longer known, but his surname is Zhang.

The lineage passed down from the Taoist ancestor is the Zhang family.

At the beginning, the Zhang family represented Taoism.

However, according to the Zhang family, Taoism can only be the Zhang family, and the head of the Taoist family in all generations must have the surname Zhang.

But as time went on, more and more people other than Zhang showed their talents in cultivation.

These people who are not surnamed Zhang believe that the Zhang family cannot represent Taoism.

So these people separated from the Zhang family.

Taoism is divided into two parts, one is the Heaven Sect and the other is the Earth Sect.

The Tianzong is the Zhang family, and the Dizong is practitioners who are not surnamed Zhang.

Zhang Ziling is the current head of the Zhang family.

"Where is the Zhang family? Where is the Earth Sect?" Zhou Ping asked. In his memory, the place where the Zhang family was located was very strange, as if it was hidden in a space crack.

"The Di Zong is in Kunlun Mountain, but no one in the Zhang family knows where they are?" Fan Shiyi said with a sigh.

Zhou Ping: "What do you mean no one knows where the Zhang family is?"

Fan Shiyi organized his words.

"The Zhang family does exist, and they have many experts, but they stay in seclusion."

"The Zhang family does not exist anywhere in Kyushu, but they will appear anywhere."

"They are a world of their own and rarely appear among the mundane world."

"No one knows where they are or when they will show up."

"Especially since the battle between the Demon Lord and Zhang Ziling, it has been almost eighteen years now. In these eighteen years, there has been very little news about the Zhang family."

Fan Shiyi explained.

A gleam of light flashed in Zhou Ping's eyes.

I don't know where the Zhang family is? Eighteen years?
Let’s not talk about the Zhang family’s problems for now. He Yunqing is just seventeen this year.

Seventeen, eighteen, is there any connection here?

Zhou Ping no longer worried about Liu Ruyan's problem, but he became more cautious towards her.

If she was from the Zhang family and had a high level of cultivation, I wonder if she would take revenge on me. I have taken advantage of her intentionally or unintentionally.

No longer bothering about Liu Ruyan, Zhou Ping said, "Could it be that the Zhang family is somewhere in this world, but they can be teleported to any place?"

Fan Shiyi shook his head: "Others have thought of your idea, but it's not like this."

"What does that look like?" Zhou Ping asked.

Fan Shiyi didn't want to say more: "You don't need to know these things now. It's not good to know too much. You will know when you enter the third rank in the future."

Qinghe County.

Zhou Ping followed a convoy out of the tunnel, and Fan Shiyi followed behind.

The disaster in Qingyuan County has been resolved, so Fan Shiyi is not planning to stay in Qingyuan County. She wants to follow Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping is really interesting, at least he is the most interesting person in this remote area and the one who can give her the most surprises.

As Zhou Ping walked out of the tunnel, three years of life appeared on his panel.

【Lifespan: 45 years and 7 months】

【Telepathic Finger: Eight】

[The End of the World: Part 3]

[Go on a convoy to immortality, don’t ask about worldly affairs]

This mission consumed four years of his lifespan, but gained him seven years of lifespan.

In terms of life span, he gained three years.

In addition to life span, Zhou Ping also obtained the Vajra and the Thousand Blades Demon Sword.

Especially the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades, which is an extremely powerful magical weapon. With the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades, Zhou Ping can kill people above his level.

Of course, Zhou Ping’s cultivation has been further improved.

He is already a ninth-rank warrior!

Among the four cultivations of martial arts, Confucianism and Buddhism, Zhou Ping attaches the most importance to the warrior.

Warriors can improve Zhou Ping's overall combat power.

When it comes to practicing martial arts, Confucianism and Buddhism at the same time, the martial artist's cultivation is still stronger.

Of course, this cannot be considered a monster.

Warriors have a natural disadvantage when dealing with demons and monsters.

However, Zhou Ping was not worried about dealing with demons and monsters because he had two top-grade sacred artifacts of Buddhism.

With this holy weapon, Zhou Ping has nothing to worry about.

"Brother Fan, let's say goodbye now." Zhou Ping said.

Fan Shiyi was slightly stunned: "What do you mean by goodbye?"

Zhou Ping???
"Aren't you going to the brothel?" Zhou Ping didn't understand what Fan Shiyi meant.

Everyone in Qinghe County knows that Fan Shiyi spends all his time in brothels.

And because Fan Shiyi saved the entire Qinghe County, the brothels have always opened their doors to Fan Shiyi for free.

Of course, even before Fan Shiyi saved Qinghe County, with her romantic appearance and reputation, many girls flocked to her, and she didn't spend any money.

"Who wants to go to a brothel?" Fan Shiyi put away his paper fan. "I heard your yard is quite big. I'll stay at your house for a few days."

"Ah?" Zhou Ping opened his mouth wide, almost stuffing an egg into it. What's wrong with this guy? Why does he want to live in my house?

Zhou Ping didn't want Fan Shiyi to follow him. He had too many secrets, and it would be bad if Fan Shiyi found out.

Fan Shiyi naturally had her own ideas. She wanted to discuss poetry and songs with Zhou Ping.

Along the way, Zhou Ping's poems "Fine Grape Wine in the Glowing Cup" and "Stop My Car and Sit to Enjoy the Maple Forest in the Evening" made Fan Shiyi feel that Zhou Ping was simply stunning.

Such poems can make one famous in the capital.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go." Fan Shiyi knew where Zhou Ping's house was, so he rode away first.

Zhou Ping smiled bitterly. Another troublesome person.

Their family was already troublesome enough with Liu Ruyan and He Yunqing, but they didn't expect that there would be another Fan Shiyi.

But thinking of Liu Ruyan, Zhou Ping suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing for Fan Shiyi to go home. Liu Ruyan's background was unclear, and perhaps Fan Shiyi could see something.

Zhou Ping took Fan Shiyi back to his own yard.

It has been a month since I went on this trip.

Before he reached the door of his house, he saw Wang Cheng and several yamen runners coming out with gloomy faces.

Wang Cheng saw Zhou Ping and hurriedly said, "Brother, go home quickly. Something happened at your house."
