Chapter 95: Prison Gate and Level Life Equipment

[You obtain "Rune Factors - Physical, Agility, Spirit, Gift, Recovery"]

[You obtain "Tengu Wings: Modified"]

[You get "Small Life Essence" x20]

[Kill three famous monsters (2/3)]

Well. This time the Rune Circuit Core was not dropped, but two items were dropped.

Then look at the props effect.

Holding the remains of the great Tengu, which had transformed from a spirit into a long-nosed, red-masked Tengu after being killed, Zhou Yan looked at the attributes of this Tengu.

【Big Tengu】

[Type: High-level monster]

[Description: A high-level monster that was born out of thin air between heaven and earth due to the infection of the cause of disaster. Some of them were transformed from humans. They wear red masks with long noses, can drive strong winds with their demonic power, and have swordsmanship comparable to that of sword masters. They are both good and evil, and have an ambiguous relationship with humans.]

[Rating: 0 stars, level 4]

[Attributes: Physical strength 42, Agility 45, Spirit 41]

[Note: I never thought that I, who coveted the fortune of the Yagyu clan, would die in such a cowardly way.]

Well, it looks like he is not much more powerful than Ibaraki Douji, which is basically consistent with what the Great Tengu himself said.

While thinking silently, Zhou Yan floated to the ground holding the Great Tengu mask.

He ignored the dead body of Yagyu Tsukasahito at his feet, jumped off the stage, and walked step by step to Gomonin Haruaki.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

As footsteps hurriedly sounded, the demon hunters seemed to be very concerned about protecting Tsunayoshi. Even though Zhou Yan behaved so domineeringly, they still quickly jumped off the stage and rushed to his side and stared at him closely.

Except for Long, everyone looked at him as if they were facing a great enemy.

At this moment, although he was not as tall and full of demonic aura as the great Tengu when he first appeared.

But the man in the black robe, with white hair and flowers in his eyes is definitely not an ordinary person. Compared with the monster, it is hard to say who is more terrifying.

Zhou Yan didn't care about the horrified looks of the people. Facing the vigilant Qingming, he laughed out loud: "Qingming, at this point, there's no need to go through so many procedures. Tell me the location and I'll solve it all at once!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Gomonin Haruaki immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He no longer acted as if he was facing a great enemy, but put down the talisman in his hand and said to Zhou Yan seriously: "Master Yan, may I ask whether you are a human or a monster? Are you on the side of humans or monsters?"

Zhou Yan laughed: "I am who I am."

Qingming immediately asked: "So, what is your purpose?"

Zhou Yan smiled slightly, but the mask blocked the smile, only conveying his indifferent eyes: "Close the prison door."

Gomonin Haruaki finally smiled: "Okay, Lord Arihiko said this, this time it will work!"

He glanced at everyone in the room, turned around and whispered something to the general, then turned back as the general nodded slightly and announced to everyone in the room: "Longliu Jian Haoyan has conquered the crowd with his supreme force, and with the general's witness, he has been named unrivaled in the world. This demon extermination meeting is officially over!"

"Please don't leave yet, my lords. The general has set up a banquet in the city. After the banquet, I will arrange for the assembly and we will set out to attack the target tomorrow!"

After saying that, Gomonin Haruaki looked at Zhou Yan again.

"Mr. Yan, please move over to discuss this."

Zhou Yan nodded slightly.

*
Kill the ghost in the room.

Zhou Yan, who had released his fusion form, sat cross-legged with a well-behaved girl leaning against him.

This time was different from the last time. He and Qingming sat together in the upper seats, and on both sides of the hall sat several strong men whose strength they had witnessed before.

The archer priestess Kagami Mitsuyoshi, Mikaguchi Aya from Narujin Taisha Shrine, Arashimaru, the male ninja from Arashi-no-Sato, and Fudomine, the warrior monk from Myō-ji Temple.

"The prison gate is located inside the crater of Mount Fugaku."

Facing everyone's curious gazes, Yumenin Qingming went straight to the point and directly stated the issue that Zhou Yan was most concerned about.

Zhou Yan's expression changed. This location was really unexpected, yet reasonable.

Qingming did not wait for others to comment, and continued quickly: "Hundreds of years ago, there were ancient people in Yuanlu who fell into chaos. Driven by the pursuit of taboo knowledge, they lost their own minds and arranged a ritual to summon the prison gate without authorization. They summoned the prison gate in the crater of Mount Fugaku. Since then, the cause of disaster has been established, foul air has descended, and countless demons and monsters that originally existed in people's imaginations have emerged from the darkness and descended on the territory of Yuanlu."

"The Yin-Yang Master lineage, starting from Ampere Seimei, has been dedicated to finding the location of the prison gate, and has gathered outstanding people from generation to generation to slay demons and exterminate ghosts, hoping to seal the prison gate."

Yumeng Qingming looked at Zhou Yan: "However, demons live long, and their power grows with time. On the contrary, the strong men of the human race die of old age or in battle. They are becoming increasingly withered. Until our generation, we are completely unable to compete with the style of the strong men of the previous generations. For example, the great demon like the Great Tengu, which was once dealt with by ordinary strong men, now has to be barely resisted by the strongest men of mankind even if they gather together."

When he said this, he looked around and saw the priestesses and monks all nodded slightly, agreeing with him.

Zhou Yan nodded: "So, let's get to the point as soon as possible."

Mimonin Haruaki immediately replied: "We will set out tomorrow and head to Mount Fugaku, defeat the super demon guarding the crater, and then seal the prison gate!"

He looked at Zhou Yan and said, "Lord Yan, as the main fighting force, I and these four demon slayers will assist you in the battle. Do you think this is feasible?"

Zhou Yan laughed and said, "No problem. However, although this is my original purpose, as the most dangerous one, it is not too much to ask for some extra compensation, right?"

Qingming nodded: "I wonder what Master Yan needs?"

Zhou Yan looked around with a smile on his face: "Okay, I want to learn your Yin-Yang technique."

Sure enough!

The corner of Yumengyuan Qingming's mouth twitched. Zhou Yan had previously expressed his desire to learn his Yin-Yang technique, and now he was unabashedly using his already powerful martial arts to overwhelm him. He stared at Zhou Yan helplessly for a while and said, "I said that you are affected by the demonic power of the Longliu. Even if you learn Yin-Yang technique, you can't gather spiritual power to use it."

"Then don't worry about it. I just want to learn." Zhou Yan smiled freely.

Helplessly, Qingming could only nod and said with a wry smile: "Master Yan, since you are so determined, how can I not obey you, but..."

He looked at the representatives of the schools below and said helplessly, "How about I come back to you after this discussion?"

Zhou Yan was not in a hurry. He stood up and pulled Long outside. "Okay, then you guys discuss it. I won't join in. Just tell me when you've finalized the plan."

Behind him, Qingming looked helpless.

Zhou Yan brought Long and, under the guidance of the servants, went to the house arranged for them.

As soon as he entered the room, Long couldn't hold back his words any longer and looked at Zhou Yan with a worried look on his face: "Master Yan, are you really going to seal that prison door?"

Zhou Yan touched her head and said, "Yes, this is the reason why I came to this world."

"What happens after the goal is accomplished?"

The girl suddenly asked.

When she asked this question, her eyes widened slightly and she stared at Zhou Yan's left eye nervously.

Zhou Yan paused, and stared at the girl silently for a few seconds: "Long, I told you."

"I don't want it!" The girl threw herself into Zhou Yan's arms, "Long must follow Master Yan for the rest of his life, don't abandon me. I don't have any relatives in this world anymore."

Zhou Yan sighed and hugged the girl's waist: "I like Long too. If possible, I don't want to either."

孽 孽!
If I had known, I would not have met this child on the day of his birth.
Zhou Yan immediately shook his head again - if he didn't have a relationship with Long, did it mean that the girl would die at the hands of the red ghost the next day?

His eyes became firm.

There is no need to worry about so many unnecessary things. Now that it has come to this, we must try our best to find a solution.

Didn't Gold Finger also respond to him and tell him that it might be possible to achieve his goal through the "Life Equipment User" function?
Then continue to find a way to upgrade to one star, activate this function, and see what happens!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan began to count his gains from killing the Great Tengu - these gains were enough to allow his life equipment to be upgraded once again.

There's nothing much to say about the Rune Factor.

Zhou Yan took a look at the "small life essence" and found that the effect of one portion was equivalent to five portions of the "micro" one, which was very good.

As for the most valuable loot, it is the "Tengu Wings·Modified".

[Tengu Wings·Revised]

[Type: Cloak (Wings)]

[Description: Tengu is a monster with the characteristics of a dog, a bird, and a human. After its wings are transformed and purified, it is equipped by the walker of the disaster world and can fly in the air.]

[Effect: Equip it on your shoulders and you will get a black feather cape. When you fall from the air, the cape will turn into wings, greatly reducing your falling speed, and you can glide with the wind with great efficiency (the wings state consumes 5 life equipment durability per second)]

[Rating: 0 stars, level 4]

[Note: It is called "flying in the air", but it is actually gliding. Don't think that you can really fly like a bird! ]

It is auxiliary equipment. It has almost no effect on combat effectiveness.

But it is very practical.

Zhou Yan calmed down, adjusted the rune combination, and prepared to advance.

Anyway, he is in the world of disaster, and it has been almost confirmed that this world does not pose a high threat to him.

So he doesn't hide his secrets.

他当着少女的面完成了所有的符文调配切换——2体2敏2精1诅咒1恩赐1破坏，回路核心则是强力的增伤回路“毁灭”。

Then it’s advanced!

[Advanced]

[Physique +50, Agility +44, Spirit +40]

The next moment, Long was frightened by the light path emitted by Zhou Yan's life suit.

Then I noticed that his clothing had changed.

He was very different from the Zhou Yan she first met.

Today, Zhou Yan’s attire no longer looks like a “tight suit”.

Or, it is no longer appropriate to describe it as "clothing". This is actually a set of black light armor with a very modern style, even a bit futuristic.

The black armor plates that fit his body perfectly are precisely distributed according to all the muscles on Zhou Yan's body, and are interlocked and connected to each other, allowing Zhou Yan to obtain all-round armor protection without affecting his movements.

Zhou Yan reached out and touched his face, and found that the lower half of his face, including his nose, as well as his chin, cheeks, and even the back of his head, were all wrapped in a metal-like skeleton.

In other words, except for a few parts such as the eyes and the top of the head, all other parts of his body are protected by armor.

As soon as he thought about it, the life-preserving suit covering his face moved away automatically like a machine, revealing his face.

He gave the girl a reassuring smile.

Then, several pieces of information flowed before his eyes.

[Life equipment has been upgraded to "0 star 5th level"]

[Triggering star upgrade requirements]
