Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 554: Deterrence, Reward! (Two in One)

"He guards the southern part of Yunzhou?"

"Yes, I also heard that he had killed the big monster of the Yuanzhou Eight-eyed White-hairworm clan before!" The bat monster added timidly.

The huge fire monster shuddered all over upon hearing this.

"My king, do we still need to continue attacking the southern part of Yunzhou?" the bat demon asked weakly.

"Fight? What's the point of fighting!" The big demon hurriedly stood up and stepped out of the crater.

"Whoever wants to do this task can do it. I won't get involved!"

After saying that, the big demon turned his body and walked towards the interior of Yanzhou, fearing that the terrible person in the rumors would come to cause trouble for him.

He does not have the abilities of the eight-eyed white-haired worm clan, nor does he have the super strength of the Thunder Wheel Tiger King.

If he were targeted by that person, he would definitely die.

"My king, wait for me."

When the monsters saw their king running away, they immediately followed him in a panic.

"Tell all the monsters under your command to retreat back to Yanzhou and never set foot in Yunzhou again!"

The voice of the great demon spread in all directions, and the demons received the order and began to evacuate the southern part of Yunzhou.

This is the effect of reputation. Back then, Hua Sichen went up the mountain alone to kill the Demon King. His reputation was so great that he shocked all the demons!
And now Song Changming's reputation is even better than Hua Sichen's!
"My lord, all the fire monsters in Yanzhou retreated overnight." A scout returned to the main city and reported.

In the palace, Prince Cui, Hu Zhong and Song Changming were drinking together. After hearing what the scout said, Prince Cui couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know why?"

"We learned from some captured fire monsters that their king heard of Marshal Song's reputation and became frightened and ran away," the scout replied immediately.

As soon as these words were spoken, Prince Cui and Hu Zhong both looked at Song Changming, who was leisurely tasting the new wine.

"Changming, now you are the patron saint of my Cuibai Dao and even Yunzhou." Hu Zong couldn't help but smile.

"It's not bad that this title is useful. Brother Hu, please don't make fun of me." Song Changming shook his head and smiled.

During this gathering, he had already informed the two of them about the riot at Leizhi Mountain.

Therefore, when King Cui and Hu Zhong heard the news from the scouts, they did not show much surprise. Instead, their words were full of teasing and sighing towards Song Changming.

“Changming, you are unique in being able to scare off the invading demon army with your reputation. Even our current Emperor Yun does not have this ability.” King Cui also said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. My strength is still far behind your Majesty's." Song Changming shook his head.

He has not yet become so inflated that he forgets himself.

If he guessed correctly, Emperor Yun's strength and cultivation were almost above all martial arts masters, and he was at the level of a supreme grandmaster!
With this level of cultivation, he suppressed all the warriors and noble families in Yunzhou and did not give any chance for rebellion or civil strife.

At the same time, it has also long intimidated the great demon kings of all sides in the entire demon world, making them dare not show up in Yunzhou at will.

In comparison, Song Changming was only able to intimidate a few powerful demons with his temporary outstanding achievements. However, he did not have the long-term and effective deterrent power like Emperor Yun on the powerful demon kings of various ruling classes in the demon world.

This is the difference in strength.

Of course, after this opportunity in Lei Chi, this gap in strength has been narrowed a lot and is no longer out of reach. This is very important to Song Changming.

In this way, he also had an idea in his mind of what level of cultivation one needed to reach the strength level of Emperor Yun.

"Anyway, thanks to you, Changming, we can feel more relaxed from now on." King Cui said while drinking.

"Indeed, if those monsters don't dare to break into Cuibai Road, it will give us a chance to recuperate. Maybe I won't have to stay in Leicheng for a long time to mine." Hu Zong nodded in agreement.

"Let's observe for a while and then redeploy the troops according to the situation." King Cui said.

"."

After that, after observing for several months, it was found that because of Song Changming's existence, the powerful demon tribe no longer dared to invade Cuibaidao.

After all, they all knew that coming here would mean dying. After practicing to this level, no demon would be willing to come and die.

This was the case even in all walks of life in the southern part of Yunzhou. The pressure from the invasion of the demon tribe suddenly decreased.

There are only some ignorant and fearless little demons who dare to set foot on the land of Cuibai Road, but these little demons cannot cause any waves and are not a cause for concern.

And so it was June.

On this day, south of Cuibai Road, Fengcheng.

This most remote human city has experienced many hardships.

Whenever there is an invasion by demons, this city has always been the first to bear the brunt. This year is no exception. It is a year surrounded by demons.

In Fengcheng, there is the southern maple forest.

A small group of demons were walking among them, and the pervasive demonic aura instantly dyed this originally vibrant forest with an unnecessary layer of demonic color, making it appear gloomy and cold.

The birds and beasts sensed the evil spirit and fled in all directions in fear.

A huge monster was holding a bloody deer leg in his hand and chewing it in big mouthfuls.

After swallowing the piece of meat, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"It tastes terrible, so terrible!" the monster complained.

"Brother, when can we eat humans? That's the ultimate delicacy!"

The leading demon leader grinned and said, "It's just ahead, don't worry."

"Brother, I heard that all the monsters here have evacuated. Is it really safe for us to still be here robbing living people?" Some monsters in the team said timidly.

"Hmph, what are you afraid of?"

The demon leader said unconcernedly, "The king is afraid of the strongest of the human race, but how could such a great man care about the disappearance of some people in this small borderland? Don't worry, we will only rob a human village and then leave immediately, nothing will happen."

"But if we happen to run into the patrolling human army, we will be in big trouble." Some monsters still said worriedly.

"So I have been enduring for several months. The human army has long since let down their guard. They are no longer as strict on guard as before." The demon commander shook his head complacently.

He boasts that he is the smartest one among this group of monsters. Even looking at the entire monster world, there are few who are smarter than him!

"Hehe, no matter how powerful those kings are, they will have a hard time surviving if they don't have a brain like mine."

The demon leader narrowed his pupils into slits and muttered to himself.

He was able to rise from obscurity and grow from a small shrimp to where he is today thanks to his flexible brain.

"There will be absolutely no problem this time."

Thinking of this, he stepped down, looked outside the woods, at the small village with smoke rising from chimneys, and began to lick it with his long tongue.

In the forest, pairs of demon pupils were emitting ferocious rays of light. However, before he could give any orders, dozens of warriors suddenly appeared in the air, surrounded the group of demons, and without saying a word, drew their swords and launched an offensive with vigorous energy.

After a while, only the demon leader was left running quickly through the woods with a panicked look on his face.

"Damn it! Damn it! How could there be an ambush set up by the human army here!"

The demon leader's figure sometimes disappeared in the woods and sometimes appeared at the other end. His whereabouts were extremely erratic.

In fact, the reason why he can survive until now is not only because of his thoughtful brain, but also because of his ability to escape.

In the past, even if all the demon tribes that followed him were destroyed, he would still be able to survive.

But this time, it's different.

A sword light suddenly fell from the sky, and the demon commander's hair stood on end, feeling that he could not dodge it no matter what.

"Die!"

At that moment, he threw something out without hesitation.

It seemed to be a thin wooden stick, which hit the sword light just right.

A strange scene happened. The sword light was instantly absorbed by the wooden stick and disappeared into thin air.

"Huh?" Su Qingqing was a little surprised when she saw this.

It was rare that a mere demon leader possessed a rare treasure that could block her sword.

Su Qingqing flew down and blocked the demon leader's way. She said, "I didn't expect that there are still survivors of the Xuwei demon clan, and they dare to enter the territory of Yunzhou."

She had dealt with the Xuwei demon clan many times before, so she naturally recognized the identity of the Xuwei demon clan led by this demon at a glance.

The Xuwei demon's face turned ferocious, and he spat out a mouthful of demon blood, which spilled on the wooden stick. He wanted to further activate the rare treasure in his hand to save himself.

But before he used his trump card, Su Qingqing had no intention of giving him a chance.

Su Qingqing's pink eyes lit up, demonic power surged around her body, and her pupil technique was activated, instantly immobilizing the virtual-tailed demon.

The Xuwei demon's face was full of surprise and doubt. He thought he had encountered a strong human. But at this moment, Su Qingqing was surrounded by demonic power and was performing magic. He didn't look like an ordinary warrior at all.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Su Qingqing was a human or a demon like him.

"Please spare my life, Queen. Please spare my life. I didn't know that we were from the same demon race. I have offended you. Please forgive me and let me go."

The Xuwei demon's body could not move, but it could still open its mouth and beg for mercy.

"Who is the monster?" Su Qingqing frowned and snorted.

Although she has half demon blood, she was raised by Song Changming among the human race since she was a child. She has always firmly followed Song Changming and stood in the human camp. Naturally, it is impossible for her to regard herself as a member of the demon race.

Su Qingqing felt that the virtual-tailed demon was too noisy, so she simply sealed his mouth.

Looking at the thin wooden stick, he couldn't figure out anything at first, so he planned to take it back with the virtual-tailed demon for the young master to have a look.

"Miss Su, all the monsters here have been killed, and none of them escaped." Rong Jiang walked closer and reported to Su Qingqing.

In the past, he had always been an important entourage of Song Changming, serving Song Changming at his beck and call and was deeply trusted by Song Changming.

Although his position has been replaced by Su Qingqing, he still works beside Song Changming and his current position is the chief of the marshal's personal guard.

"How to deal with these corpses of the monsters?" Rong Jiang asked politely.

"It's the same as before. Detailed information about the monsters will be recorded, the achievements of the soldiers will be noted down, and the corpses of the monsters will be sealed and taken to the Marshal." Su Qingqing gave simple instructions.

Although these monsters are not very powerful, based on the principle that even the smallest mosquito is still meat, almost all the monster corpses captured by the military forces in various places will eventually be intercepted by Song Changming in his capacity as marshal.

Then he used it as a cultivation material, squeezed out every essence, refined it completely, and strengthened his own body.

In fact, the essence of the flesh and blood of a little demon may be quite limited, but when the essence of the flesh and blood of thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of little demons condense and are refined by Song Changming, the quantitative change will eventually lead to a qualitative change, which will be of great help to his practice.

The people in charge of this matter in various military departments were already accustomed to this. Rong Jiang nodded and did as he was told.

On the other side, Song Changming, who had returned to the main city, was in the Song Mansion.

Now it is mid-June, and the annual evaluation has arrived as scheduled.

This time, due to his experience in Leizhou and his impressive record of facing the Thunder Wheel Tiger King, his strength in Lei Chi was improved, and his prestige soared afterwards.

As expected, Song Changming's annual summary received a high evaluation.

However, compared to the year he entered the Tianxu Realm, it is still inferior. After all, in this wave of battles, he only severely injured the tiger king Yelifeige, but failed to kill him.

The improvement in strength in the Thunder Pool was more of a transformation in the thunder species and body refining, but his martial arts master cultivation did not improve significantly.

In addition, he did not participate in many events this year, except for the Lei Zhishan incident.

In the end, although it was still a six-choice reward item, there were no orange-level feature rewards this time.

So, Song Changming chose a lifespan reward, a martial arts experience bonus, a blue physical attribute bonus, and an additional spiritual weapon quality bonus that he had not chosen before.

Improve the martial arts experience reward. Last time, this reward was used to help Song Changming break through the bottleneck of the Sky-Lifting Divine Art and completely cultivate the Witch God Soul.

This time, he still wanted to use this method to accumulate experience points for the Sky-Raising Divine Art.

But unfortunately, the goal he could improve this time did not include the Sky-Raising Divine Art.

In this case, Song Changming had no choice but to settle for the second best and choose to improve the only martial art he had learned, the Silent Sword.

“Perhaps I can only achieve a breakthrough with this kind of reward when I reach the critical juncture of the Heaven-Lifting Divine Art. There is no shortcut to daily accumulation and practice of divine spirits.”

Song Changming was thinking in his mind that his panel was not omnipotent. There was still a set of rules for its operation.

As to whether it is as he thought, he will have to wait until he reaches a bottleneck in his practice of the Jutian Divine Art next time before he can further verify it.

On the other hand, Jidao's experience points skyrocketed by 200,000 due to this annual reward.

To master this martial art, one needs to gain a total of one million martial arts experience points, which is much more difficult than any other set of martial arts techniques.

Now he has filled nearly one third of this experience bar.

At this rate, one million martial arts experience points would seem extremely difficult to accumulate, but as long as he could improve his scores in the future and use the annual rewards to accelerate accumulation, it would not be a matter of a lifetime.

In the quiet training room in the mansion, Song Changming sat cross-legged with his eyes closed for a long time. The special sword intent that could destroy the world lingered around him, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and there were signs that he was faintly out of control.

This added 200,000 martial arts experience points, and it would take him quite some time to digest it.

Fortunately, he had the Soul of the Witch, and his powerful spirit prevented him from being overwhelmed by this huge amount of martial arts experience, and he did not lose control in the end.

If it were an ordinary master warrior, it would be hard to say.

Once the sword intent gets out of control, it will not only harm the people around him, but also the entire human race in the city!
