I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 2 Two Great Magical Powers

boom!
Just as Li Qingyun opened his consciousness and accepted "silence" from the bottom of his heart, countless prayers and wishes gathered into noisy whispers and murmurs, which flowed into his ears like a tide.

Depression, mania, panic, despair, sorrow...

All kinds of negative emotions, like huge waves breaking through a dam, madly washed over his soul and tore at his nerves.

In just a blink of an eye, Li Qingyun's head swelled three times larger like a balloon, and was about to explode at any time.

But at the moment when he was in so much pain that he was about to collapse and fell into uncontrollable madness, the whisper in his ear stopped abruptly, and everything returned to calm.

Li Qingyun reappeared in the huge palace, still sitting on the throne, looking down at everything in the world. Even the fierce one-eyed man and the silent girl opposite him were within his sight, but they were motionless, as if they were a still picture.

Time lost its meaning at this moment. Mysterious thoughts entered Li Qingyun's brows and injected knowledge into him in an indescribable and wonderful form, like an enlightenment.

[Agent: Li Qingyun]

[Current rank: None.]

[Sacrifice the blood and energy of ten souls to be promoted to a 'God-favored One'. ]

[Remaining Qi and Blood: One Soul]

[Current status: Surrounded by foul air, on the verge of death! ]

【Granted the magical power "Soul Devouring"! 】

[The foul air turns into spirits, the undercurrents gather. Swallowing the sky and splitting the world, acting on behalf of the gods! Swallowing the extraordinary power, transforming it into the blood of the agent himself. ]

【Granted the magical power "Burning Blood"! 】

[The fire in the heart spreads across the prairie, and the strength surges like a spring. The blood is burning, burning the sky and destroying the world! The agent uses it to burn the blood and greatly increase the strength and strengthen the body. 】

Li Qingyun's attention only lingered on these words for a moment, and several strange runes immediately turned into a whirlpool and entered his mind, allowing him to immediately understand the two major magical powers bestowed by the gods, as if he had studied them all his life.

He easily used the magical power of "Soul Devouring", and saw three dark grey mists emerging from his body and swirling in the air, filled with evil and filthy power.

As the gray mist dissipated, Li Qingyun immediately felt a sense of relief. The heavy feeling of dying just now disappeared in an instant, as if the heavy shackles wrapped around him were instantly broken.

It was obvious that the sudden death of the previous incarnation was caused by these terrible forces entering the body which had already been deficient in qi and blood.

All of a sudden, a question popped up in Li Qingyun's mind: Where did these foul air come from and why did it entangle him?
Was he framed intentionally, or did he come into contact with some evil forbidden item?

But he didn't have time to think about it. In a moment, the three gray mists re-entered his body under the effect of the magical power, and turned into extremely pure qi and blood power, flowing madly through his limbs and bones like mercury. Wherever it went, all obstructions in the meridians were instantly broken through.

Li Qingyun only felt that he was becoming strong and powerful at an unimaginable speed. His body, which had been riddled with holes due to years of indulgence in alcohol and sex, was instantly restored.

In an instant, all the amazing power that Wanliu gained from swallowing the foul air was stored in the sea of ​​qi for him to use at will.

【Remaining Qi and blood: Four souls.】

……

The candlelight flickered, and the ambiguous boudoir was filled with an eerie silence.

The girl sitting on the couch was shaking like a sieve, staring at the head on the ground with dull eyes, at a loss.

The one-eyed ugly man in a cloak glanced at her and laughed hoarsely:

"When did such a pretty and tender girl come to Yihonglou? Don't be afraid. After I eat her, I will immediately turn back into a dashing young man. She will definitely be much better than this loser. I guarantee that once you try her, you will never forget her."

The foul smell of corruption hit the girl in the face. She curled up in fear and even the words of begging for mercy seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter a single word.

She couldn't imagine what it would feel like to have her body touched by this zombie-like living dead. Her stomach cramped and acid surged up.

Suddenly, a figure staggered over and stood between her and the terrible demon, like a solid wall, blocking the evil gaze.

"Don't be afraid, find a corner to hide first, so that I won't hurt you by mistake."

Li Qingyun's voice was soft, but full of unquestionable firmness.

The one-eyed man heard this and laughed grimly:

"Fool, you are about to die and you still want to learn to be gentle with women? I will eat you first..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his pale right hand. His five pointed fingers had an abnormal metallic luster and grabbed quickly like a steel hook.

Li Qingyun activated the "Blood Burning" ability without hesitation. The blood stored in his body was instantly ignited and detonated like a powder keg, and the terrifying power immediately spread throughout his body. His super senses made everything in front of him slow down. The fatal blow from the man in front of him was like a slow motion in a movie, soft and without any threat.

He slightly tilted his body to avoid the claw, and then rushed towards the body as strong as an ox.

Five slender and powerful fingers gently placed on the one-eyed man's shoulders and pulled hard.

"Shoot..."

A sharp and rough sound like leather being cut was heard, and an arm covered with pus-filled sores was torn off and thrown on the ground, but not a single drop of blood flowed out, which was strange and inexplicable.

"what--"

The one-eyed man let out a hoarse howl, filled with anger and pain, as well as fear from the bottom of his heart.

His zombie body was indestructible and almost invulnerable to swords and guns, but he didn't expect it to be easily destroyed in such a brutal way.

He couldn't even see the opponent's movements and the timing of his attack, and didn't even have a chance to dodge or counterattack.

"you wanna die!"

The one-eyed man suffered a great loss at the first encounter, but he was not panicked. He quickly made a hand gesture with his only remaining hand, sprayed out a mouthful of extremely filthy gray smoke, and rushed towards Li Qingyun.

That was the foul energy that he had cultivated for many years. It could be driven by his mind and controlled as easily as an arm. Ordinary people would die if they were touched by it. There would be no escape.

But when the evil aura hit the young man opposite, it was like a drop in the ocean and disappeared in an instant. Even the subtle connection between them, which was produced by his own refining, disappeared without a trace.

The one-eyed man was in a trance for a moment, but the next moment, two strong arms, one on the left and one on the right, had already grabbed his neck.

"you……"

Li Qingyun didn't even wait for him to finish the second half of the sentence. He burst out with extraordinary strength from his hands and twisted them violently, breaking the man's cervical vertebrae like pulling a carrot, and pulled the smelly and disgusting head directly off his neck.

The one-eyed man's mountain-like body fell to the ground with a loud bang, still twitching.

After a moment, six gray-white foul auras that were imperceptible to ordinary people emerged from the corpse. Li Qingyun secretly used his "Soul Devouring" magical power to trap all those auras into his sleeves and swallowed them up completely.

As the foul air dissipated, the stench quickly disappeared, and the headless corpse began to decay and disintegrate visibly to the naked eye. In a moment, it turned into dust, leaving only an empty, wide cloak on the ground.

The girl on the pink bed was so shocked when she saw this horrific scene that she could no longer control herself and vomited with a "wow".

……

This was Li Qingyun's first time killing someone.

He should have been as emotionally broken as the girl, full of fear and guilt, but somehow, at this moment his breathing was even and long, his body was as still as a mountain, and he was calm to the point of being indifferent.

This state of mind, as if killing was an instinct, was deeply imprinted in his soul.

【Remaining Qi and blood: Eight souls.】

He originally had four souls of qi and blood, plus the seven evil spirits he obtained and transformed from the one-eyed man, which should have made a total of eleven souls of qi and blood, but he currently only has eight souls left.

This means that just one short battle burned out all the energy and blood of the three souls.

Li Qingyun briefly checked himself and got a rough idea of ​​the consumption of the "Burning Blood" magical power, and secretly memorized it in his mind.

He did not clean up the scene, leaving Liu Saner's head and the huge cloak in the room. He looked up at the girl who was still retching on the bed, and said in a gentler tone:
"I'm sorry to have frightened you. But everything is fine now. You can go to my mother here and report to the police."

The girl's eyes were filled with deep awe. Although the man in front of her was humble and gentle, he was as dangerous as a murderous devil from the inside out. The fear he brought to her was no less than that of the terrible one-eyed man.

She asked cautiously:

"Master...I...what should I say?"

Li Qingyun said calmly:

"be honest."

After saying this, he left the embroidery room in big strides.

The flickering candlelight made his back look very long.
