Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 49 Drawing a Clone

The eighth-grade rat demon faced Zhou Ping.

The rat demon turned into a black shadow and rushed towards Zhou Ping at an extremely fast speed.

The rat demon relies on speed and strength to win.

Zhou Ping swung his sword and hit the rat demon.

The force of this blow was so strong that Zhou Ping's hand felt numb.

But Zhou Ping still blocked the rat demon.

Although Zhou Ping is of the tenth rank, his Confucianism, martial arts, Buddhism and Taoism are all of the tenth rank.

The spiritual energy in Zhou Ping's body is comparable to that of a ninth-grade warrior.

Another thing is the Ruyi cassock on Zhou Ping’s left hand.

The Ruyi cassock also provided Zhou Ping with strength.

This allowed Zhou Ping to barely block the rat demon's attack.

After this attack, the rat demon was also shocked. It didn't expect that Zhou Ping could actually block it.

"There's something strange about this kid!"

Before the rat demon came, Mao, the magistrate of Qinghe County, had already told it the strength of the grain transport convoy.

Fan Shiyi is a Confucian of the fourth rank, Leng Butou is of the eighth rank, and in addition there are four others of the tenth rank.

But Zhou Ping's sudden appearance made the rat demon feel irritated. It didn't expect that there was such a master in the escort agency.

The rat demon's original plan was to give birth to five cubs to tie up the others, and then quickly get rid of Fan Shiyi himself.

But judging from the current situation, Zhou Ping is very difficult to deal with.

A thought suddenly came to the rat demon's mind: This guy is more difficult to deal with than that ninth-rank constable.

Fan Shiyi hid behind Zhou Ping.

When fighting in a team, no matter how high the mage's level is, he is afraid of being killed by assassins, so he has to hide behind if possible.

Fan Shiyi didn't expect that Zhou Ping could actually stop the rat demon.

"This kid must have entered the rank!"

Fan Shiyi didn't expect Zhou Ping to be so patient and never reveal his strength.

The escort's men also saw this scene, and they were extremely happy.

Zhou Ping has the ability to stop the rat demon, which means he must have reached a high level.

At this time, the escort agency had one more high-ranking expert, which was the best thing for the entire situation.

Engineer Yuan was equally shocked.

Different from the bodyguards who have not been promoted, Yuan Gong is already a tenth-grade bodyguard. He knows the difference between being promoted and not being promoted.

Engineer Yuan knew better the difference between the eighth and tenth grades.

"He is definitely not a tenth-grade one! He is most likely a ninth-grade one."

Mr. Yuan had faced the rat demon head-on and knew that it was very powerful.

In a head-on confrontation, the tenth-grade demon was simply unable to stop the eighth-grade rat demon.

The rat demon retreated after one strike, then summoned rats to rush over.

But Fan Shiyi would not let the rat group help the rat demon.

Fan Shiyi drew cats, which stood in front of the rats.

The rat demon saw that the rats could not help him, so he disappeared in a flash.

In the dark tunnel, the rat demon has an advantage because it is small and its eyes are better adapted to darkness.

Suddenly, Zhou Ping slashed to his left rear.

The knife hit the rat demon hard.

Zhou Ping opened his vision with the Sky-Borrowing Spirit Technique. Within a radius of more than ten feet, whether above his head or underground, Zhou Ping could feel the presence of the rat demon.

"what?"

The rat demon was annoyed. Did this guy have eyes behind his back?
The rat demon hid in the darkness and tried to sneak attack Zhou Ping several times, but was blocked by Zhou Ping every time.

The rat demon finally realized that Zhou Ping could see his whereabouts.

"This guy is weird. He must have some magic weapon on him, which allowed him to see me!"

Although the rat demon was annoyed, he also realized that it was impossible to win by sneak attack.

Since sneak attacks won’t work, the rat demon is ready to fight Zhou Ping head-on.

The rat demon kept attacking Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping brandished the long sword in his hand, attacking steadily and blocking the rat demon.

The swordsmanship Zhou Ping practiced was mainly defensive, so he didn't think about attacking, he just defended.

But in addition to defending, Zhou Ping would use his mind sleeve arrow to shoot an arrow at the rat demon.

The two men fought for a cup of tea, but the rat demon did not gain any advantage over Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping understood that his purpose was not to kill the rat demon, but to protect Fan Shiyi.

With Fan Shiyi here, the situation of this team battle will change sooner or later.

At this time, the grain transport convoy was full of cats, and there were no mice left to drag the sacks of grain into the underground river.

The rats were suppressed by the cats.

Behind the grain transport convoy, Captain Leng also found that the pressure was not so great. He knew that Fan Shiyi must have pinned down the eighth-grade rat demon.

"Fortunately, I was capable and thought of asking Master Fan to accompany me. Otherwise, not only would this mission fail, but I would also lose my life."

"I'm really lucky. Master Fan happens to be in Qinghe County."

Captain Leng sighed in his heart that he was very smart and lucky.

In front of the grain transport convoy.

The rat demon took one look at the situation and knew that this was not going to work.

"Boy, you forced me to do this!"

The rat demon stood where he was and took a deep breath.

Immediately afterwards, the rat demon's body doubled in size.

The eighth-grade rat demon is already half the height of a human.

The eighth-grade rat demon has eight abdominal muscles.

"It exploded!"

Zhou Ping frowned and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Using this secret technique can double my strength, but it comes at the cost of my lifespan."

The rat demon didn't expect that Zhou Ping would force it to take this step.

After the rat demon exploded, its aura increased dramatically.

"Hiss, hiss."

The rat demon let out a roar.

At this moment, all the rats went wild.

The five tenth-grade little tree demons also seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, and their eyes were all red.

In front of the grain transport convoy, three tenth-rank little tree demons suddenly rushed towards a tenth-rank yamen runner.

Several others rushed to the rescue.

But it was still a step too late. The three rat demons concentrated their strength to kill a tenth-rank yamen runner first, and then hugged the tenth-rank yamen runner and started to eat him.

"good chance!"

Although Captain Leng felt sad that a yamen runner was killed, he seized the opportunity and chopped a little mouse demon with a knife.

The rat demon was split in half.

In this battle, someone died for the first time, but fortunately it was one for one and the other side also lost a tenth-grade rat demon.

The remaining two rat demons finished eating the yamen runner's body and began to eat the little rat demon that was chopped into two pieces.

"No, no, brother, brother, no."

"Mom, save me."

No matter how much the little mouse demon begged, it was useless as it was eaten by its own brothers.

Captain Leng and the other two tenth-rank officers all looked gloomy. They didn't expect the rat demon to be so cruel and even eat its own kind.

However, the next moment, the aura of a little mouse demon suddenly became stronger.

Gas suddenly exploded from the mouse demon's body, and an invisible air wave hit several people.

“It’s a broken product!”

Captain Leng said in horror.

Several of the little mouse monsters are of the tenth grade.

But now, one of the rat demons has actually broken through to the ninth level.

It was unknown whether this rat demon had eaten its own brother, so its quality had deteriorated.

There is a huge gap between the ninth and tenth grades.

Both in terms of strength and speed.

The two little mouse demons suddenly rushed towards the three captains of the Leng constable.

Although Leng was a ninth-rank officer, his right arm was injured. What was worse was that his right arm was his regular arm, and he didn't use his walking arm very often, so his combat power was impaired.

The tenth-rank yamen runners and the tenth-rank escort officers were also injured, and their strength was greatly reduced.

The two rat demons fought with the three people.

Soon, the tenth-rank officer of the escort agency was caught off guard and was hit by the rat demon's tail, with his skin and flesh torn apart.

The tenth rank of the escort agency suffered a heavy blow.

The pressure came to Captain Leng, and the two little mouse monsters faced Captain Leng and another tenth-rank yamen runner.

"Master Fan, come and help."

Captain Leng shouted hurriedly. If he dragged on at this time, his life would be over sooner or later. But Captain Leng didn't know that Fan Shiyi was also in danger and relied on Zhou Ping to keep him alive.

On this side, Zhou Ping gradually felt the strain.

After the rat demon exploded, its strength increased dramatically, both in speed and strength.

Zhou Ping can no longer continue.

Fortunately, Zhou Ping can rely on the method of borrowing the spiritual energy from the sky to continuously replenish the spiritual energy in his body.

Zhou Ping was always fighting the rat demon with full magic power.

Even so, Zhou Ping suffered several injuries.

Fan Shiyi was fairly reliable, occasionally drawing a few tigers attacking the rat demon.

Although the tiger painting did not cause much damage to the rat demon, it could still disrupt the rat demon's attack rhythm, giving Zhou Ping some time to catch his breath.

At the same time, the situation on the battlefield became tense again.

The rats became extremely excited, completely disregarding life and death. Even if only a head was left, they would bite people or painted cats.

Fan Shiyi wanted to draw more cats, but the rat demon had already forced Zhou Ping to retreat step by step.

While the rat demon was dealing with Zhou Ping, it used its tail to roll up stones and threw them at Fan Shiyi.

These stones were thrown onto the stone walls on both sides of the tunnel and penetrated into them fiercely.

The power of the rocks is so great that if a person is hit by one of them, even if he does not die, he will be half-crippled.

Suddenly, the rat demon seized an opportunity and hit Zhou Ping in the chest with its tail.

Zhou Ping suddenly felt a surge of blood and energy and couldn't help but spit out blood.

There were even some internal organs in the blood.

The power of the eighth level is too strong, and Zhou Ping's body is still too fragile.

"While you are sick, I will kill you."

The rat demon saw Zhou Ping was injured and rushed towards him. It wanted to kill Zhou Ping in one go.

Fan Shiyi drew several tigers in an instant.

The tiger rushed towards the rat demon, but was slapped into ink by the rat demon.

“A paper tiger is a paper tiger.”

The rat demon said disdainfully, then bit Zhou Ping on the neck.

"died!"

The rat demon bit Zhou Ping's neck and felt very happy, but he was a little confused.

Isn't this guy very difficult to deal with? How come I bit his neck so easily?
While the rat demon was puzzled, there was no familiar smell of blood in his mouth, but a taste of ink.

Zhou Ping's body instantly turned into a ball of ink.

At the same time, Zhou Ping appeared on the side of the rat demon and slashed at it.

"Ow."

The rat demon let out a miserable cry.

In the last wave, Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi cooperated well with each other.

Fan Shiyi drew a "Zhou Ping clone".

This clone bewitched the rat demon.

The real Zhou Ping hid aside and took the opportunity to attack the rat demon with a knife.

Zhou Ping used all his strength to make this move.

This knife also caused considerable damage to the rat demon, but it was not fatal enough.

The rat demon reacted quickly and immediately ran away from Zhou Ping.

The next moment, the rat demon was stunned.

In the tunnel, there were several more weeks of peace and Fan Shiyi.

Fan Shiyi's combat IQ suddenly skyrocketed, and she drew many versions of herself and many Zhou Pings.

This wave of operations made the rat demon dumbfounded.

The rat demon could not tell the difference between his true self and his clone.

"Good means."

"Zhou Ping" gave a thumbs up.

"It's you!"

The rat demon spat out a piece of human bone from its mouth.

This bone directly pierced Zhou Ping's eyebrows.

"Zhou Ping" turned into a pool of ink.

"fake?"

The rat demon was stunned.

The next moment, more than a dozen Zhou Pings attacked the rat demon.

"what!"

The rat demon swept its tail and killed several of Zhou Ping's clones, but it was also hit hard by the sword.

The real Zhou Ping is hiding among a bunch of clones.

This knife caused considerable damage to the rat demon.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ping attacked the rat demon one by one.

The real Zhou Ping hid in it, constantly attacking the rat demon, and occasionally shooting it with his mind sleeve arrows.

In the tunnel, Zhou Ping's side gradually gained the upper hand, but the others were at a disadvantage.

In just a short while, more than a dozen sacks of food had been dragged into the underground river by the rats.

Captain Leng is not having an easy time either.

Captain Leng and another tenth-rank yamen runner were struggling to hold on.

The ninth-rank rat demon is really difficult to deal with.

If they delay a little longer, they might meet with an unexpected disaster.

Suddenly, Captain Leng's eyes turned cold, and he winked at the Tenth Rank officer beside him.

The tenth-rank yamen runner nodded, and without any hesitation, he kicked the injured tenth-rank escort beside him to the two little mouse monsters.

"You guys are so cruel."

The tenth-rank escort was shocked. After being hit by the rat demon, he had been struggling to hold on, with multiple injuries on his body, but fortunately he was able to save his life.

But he didn't expect that Captain Leng would be so cruel.

The tenth-rank escort looked at Captain Leng and his companions with hatred, but he was powerless to do anything. He could only close his eyes in despair, hoping that the rat demon would give him a quick death.

Sure enough, after seeing the food, the two little mouse monsters stopped attacking the other two and started eating the humans with relish.

Suddenly, a roar interrupted the two mouse demons.

The cry came from an eighth-grade rat demon, calling its children.

There was struggle in the eyes of the two little rat monsters, but they still let the tenth-grade escort master go and rushed towards the place where the eighth-grade rat monster was.

The 10th-rank escort opened his eyes, and there was confusion in his eyes. He thought he was going to die, but he escaped.

The eighth-grade rat demon was confused by its clones and was constantly attacked by Zhou Ping, so it began to summon its children.

At this moment, the four little mouse monsters and all the mice rushed towards Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi.

"what!"

With a scream, Yuan Gong was besieged by two rat monsters.

The ghost bride wasn't having a good time either, as she also faced two little mouse demons.

Countless rats rushed to the fake Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi, and the fake clones were defeated by the rats one by one.

"It's you two."

When the eighth-grade rat demon saw the only remaining Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi, he finally saw the real culprit.

Fan Shiyi wanted to continue painting, but countless mice surrounded her.

"Zhou Ping!"

Fan Shiyi screamed.

Zhou Ping waved his hand, and the rats were thrown against the walls of the tunnel one by one.

The art of controlling objects!
Zhou Ping's skill in controlling objects was not yet perfect, and he could only control objects as heavy as his own body.

However, Zhou Ping discovered that within the perception range of the Heavenly Spirit Method, his ability to control objects could be used with ease.

Zhou Ping relied on his perception and used the object control technique to constantly drive away or crush the rats on Fan Shiyi's body.

Fan Shiyi's body was covered in blood, which made Fan Shiyi very disgusted.

Xiaobai also jumped from Zhou Ping to Fan Shiyi to help her drive away the rat.

"Die to me."

The rat demon seized the opportunity, abandoned Zhou Ping, and pretended to be Fan Shiyi.

The rat demon realized that Zhou Ping was being difficult.

The rat demon rushed forward and pushed Fan Shiyi into the underground river.

The water flow in the underground river was so fast that it would wash Fan Shiyi away in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Ping cursed inwardly and quickly jumped into the underground river.

Zhou Ping jumped up and jumped into the dark river. He grabbed Fan Shiyi with one hand and waved his Ruyi cassock with the other.

The rat demon stood beside the dark river, watching with pride as the dark river washed Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi away.

However, the next moment, the Ruyi cassock continued to grow longer and then trapped the rat demon's feet.

The rat demon staggered and fell into the underground river.
