Chapter 18 A hundred achievements!

woohoo~
A strange whimpering sound was heard in the sloppy lobby.

More than a dozen evil followers of the Liansheng Sect wearing white robes knelt on the ground, muttering something and worshiping the Liansheng Mother.

It was a statue of a god with his feet standing on a white lotus, one hand pointing to the sky and the other pointing to the ground, and a compassionate face.

However, on both sides of the statue, there were two young girls tied tightly to wooden stakes.

Their clothes were disheveled, their hair was messy, and their eyes were filled with fear and despair.

Below the statue.

A burly man with a long beard prostrated himself on the ground and shouted:

"Mother, you are compassionate and merciful, saving those in need. I am offering you two animals as a sacrifice, begging for your blessing!"

His words trailed off.

The statue of Mother Liansheng seemed to come alive, with two blood-colored threads extending from between its mouth and nose, wrapping around the bodies of the two young girls.

next moment.

It was as if all the blood and essence in their bodies had been drained away. Their faces had become visibly older, and their skin had become shriveled.

Not until they turned into two mummies did the two blood-colored threads retract reluctantly.

at the same time.

Two drops of blood slowly condensed and dripped from its fingertips.

The sturdy man looked ecstatic. He hurried forward, carefully caught it, put it to the tip of his mouth and nose and sucked hard.

The blood beads turned into rich and pure blood and flowed into his body.

The blue veins on the surface of the skin are bulging, and the blood and qi visible to the naked eye are moving in them like little snakes.

He also showed an expression of great satisfaction, just like a drug addict.

"Master Han!"

Outside the lobby, a feminine man walked in quickly, glanced at the mummies on both sides of the statue, and frowned slightly:

"The Demon Slayers have recently been attacking our Holy Church. To forcibly seize a woman at this critical moment would only lead to trouble!"

Han Lin calmed the restless aura within him and glanced down at him condescendingly: "What are you afraid of? The headquarters will soon send an elder to Lonely Mountain City to take charge of the situation!"

"Once the creatures in the Yinsha Corpse Raising Ground awaken, it will be the end of the Demon Slayer Division!"

The feminine young man raised an eyebrow: "Master Han, I heard that there are also powerful people from the imperial court arriving in Qingzhou soon, so it is better to be careful."

Han Lin sat on the tiger-skin chair with a majestic posture, swallowed the second blood bead, and said with a smile:

"Why weren't you so cautious when your master was massacring the refugee camp?"

"Could it be..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a commotion outside.

Without waiting to be asked.

Then a bandit rushed in in a panic: "The... the demon slayer is here!"

"Demon Slayer Division?!"

In the hall, all the evil followers of the Liansheng Sect stood up and looked at Han Lin who was sitting in the first seat.

"Humph, these mad dogs! Do you really think our Holy Church is afraid of them?"

Han Lin stood up and shouted angrily.

Two life flames on his shoulders suddenly rose up, casting a layer of dark green light on the entire hall.

boom!
Followed by.

The doors and windows of the lobby collapsed, and the bodies of several bandits who were patrolling outside were thrown in.

Chen Tong rushed in with a group of demon slayers and black-armored soldiers.

"The Demon Slayer Division has been ordered to attack the Life-Loving Cult. Those who do not wish to die must surrender!"

……

Huhu~
The north wind howls.

Outside the mountain village, Qin Hao exhaled and raised his head slightly.

"Snowing……"

In the mountain stronghold not far away, the flames flickered violently, and there were sounds of clashing swords and shouts of killing.

"Has the fight started?"

He gripped the demon-slaying sword tightly in his hand, feeling the blood flowing through his body, and only then did he feel a little relieved.

The Demon Slayers will attack when the enemy is least prepared, so they have a great chance of winning.

But nothing is absolute, and he cannot relax at all.

The cold wind howled.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and soon the ground was covered with a layer of white gauze.

Inside the mountain stronghold, the shouting and screaming became quieter and quieter, and the battle seemed to be coming to an end.

"Who won? The Demon Slayer?"

Just thinking about it.

His pupils suddenly shrank slightly.

On the mountain wall next to the village, a huge rock rolled and opened a door.

Two evil followers of the Liansheng Sect, wearing white robes, rushed out from among them and fled down the mountain in panic.

……

Inside the cottage.

Han Lin's head has been chopped off.

None of the other evil followers of the Liansheng Sect were spared, and the strong smell of blood lingered in the cold night.

"Pooh!"

Chen Tong spat out the blood foam in his mouth.

Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered, let alone a second-level warrior who has ignited the fire of life. Fortunately, they attacked them when they were unprepared and successfully wiped out the evil followers of the Liansheng Sect hiding here.

"Count the heads!"

He shouted loudly.

His demon-slaying officers and black-armored soldiers immediately inspected the mountain stronghold.

These are all merits!

It was not until all the heads of the evil followers of the Liansheng Sect were gathered together that the Demon Slayer frowned.

"Master Chen, two people are missing!"

Ok?
Chen Tong turned around suddenly.

The bandits in the mountain stronghold don’t matter. One or two who slip through the net won’t cause much trouble.

It’s a pity that the evil followers of the Sheng religion are different.

If we fail to eradicate this group of evil spirits that are misleading people, they will surely come back again.

"Master Chen, a secret passage was discovered in the back hall. It seems those two escaped through it..."

Hear the words.

Chen Tong's heart skipped a beat.

"Where does the secret passage lead to?!"

The demon slayer replied, "My colleagues have already gone after us towards the main gate."

Oops!

Now, there is only Qin Hao guarding outside the stronghold.

That kid had just entered the Body Tempering Realm, and faced two evil disciples of the Liansheng Sect who were determined to survive...

If he died, Zhang Yuan would probably not be able to explain.

Think about this.

Chen Tong didn't care about his own injuries, and rushed out of the mountain stronghold with big strides.

……

at the same time.

Qin Hao saw the two panicked figures, crouched down and hid behind a tree, his heart beating suddenly faster.

"Are there any fish that slipped through the net?!"

His eyes were like lightning, quickly sweeping over the two of them.

It finally fell on one of the men with a feminine appearance.

"Two people, if we want to stop them, we can only attack by surprise. This feminine man poses a greater threat to me."

Qin Hao did not retreat. He held the demon-slaying sword tightly in his hand and held his breath.

Until the two of them passed by a big tree.

He growled in his heart, mobilized the energy and blood in his body, and the strength of his limbs and bones burst out instantly!

[Cut the sky and the earth with one sword]!
call out!
The blade made a whistling sound as it broke through the air at such a fast speed that even the snowflakes floating in the air were cut in half.

"what?!"

The feminine man who was busy escaping for his life felt his heart tremble, and a sense of crisis rose in his heart, making the hair on his neck stand up.

He subconsciously mobilized his energy and blood and raised his hand to resist.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could only see the cold knife light coming towards him, which kept getting bigger in his eyes.

next moment.

The knife flashed, cutting off half of his hand and landing on his neck.

laugh!
A huge head rose into the sky.

The qi and blood that had just been circulated gushed out and splashed onto the face of his companion.

Feeling the warm, smelly blood, the evil disciple of the Liansheng Sect was unable to react for a moment and stood there in a daze.

It all happened so suddenly.

There's an ambush outside?!
What kind of knife technique was that just now? So sharp!

The hall master's disciple was beheaded without even having the strength to fight back?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

When he reacted, he saw a blood-stained figure, his eyes glowing red, and a cold blade flashing like a streak of silk, slashing towards him. "You're looking for death!"

The evil follower of the Liansheng Sect roared angrily to give himself courage, and drew his sword to fight back.

But the flash of the knife was too fast.

The opponent's knife had not even been unsheathed for three inches when it had already been chopped down.

This is the explosive power of [Heaven and Earth Slash].

Essence, energy and spirit are united into one.

Concentrate and reach the top!

Bang!
Two bodies fell to the ground.

Large snowflakes splashed up.

call……

Qin Hao exhaled a breath of white air, which was three inches long, like a long arrow, and lasted for a long time.

All my energy and spirit were drained away, and a feeling of exhaustion came over me.

However, the qi and blood in the body circulated rapidly throughout the body, slowly dispelling the feeling of weakness.

And just as he drew his sword.

Two figures rushed into the mountain village.

It was the demon slayer who had followed the secret passage, and the team leader Chen Tong.

They witnessed the whole scene.

The demon slayer who came out of the secret passage was dumbfounded.

Kill all the evil followers of the Liansheng Sect who are in the Body Tempering Realm with one sword?
These soldiers transferred from the garrison camp were still wearing ill-fitting soft armor, and it seemed that they had just condensed their qi and blood?

Do you have such strength?
Chen Tong had already ignited his life fire, and with his keen eyesight, he could naturally see the sharp sword technique.

Because of this, he stopped where he was, his eyes wide open, with an incredible look on his face.

"Heaven and earth... cut with one sword?!"

"Zhang Yuan actually taught him such a martial art?!"

"This kid...what's going on?"

Qin Hao paused for a moment.

He also saw Chen Tong chasing after him, the demon-slaying sword piercing through two terrified heads:
"Are the two heads of the Liansheng Sect's evil followers worth a hundred merits?"

Blood dripped down, melting the snow on the ground.

Ten Merits?

What he wanted was more than just the ten merits bestowed upon him by relying on others’ face!

But actively fight for rights and freedom!

For more than a month since I traveled through time, I have been trapped in the demon prison without seeing the sun, and my heart has always been filled with uneasiness, anxiety, and even fear.

The feeling of having your life in someone else's hands at any time is so painful.

Now, by chopping off the two heads with one sword, he also cut off the haze that shrouded his heart.

Chen Tong narrowed his eyes and walked over.

Until he came in front of Qin Hao and said:

"What a sharp swordsmanship! Zhang Yuan has not hidden anything from you."

Qin Hao did not respond to him, but just held up the demon-slaying sword in his hand and the two terrifying heads.

Chen Tong sneered:
"You used it brilliantly too. Even though it was a sneak attack, it was steady, accurate, and... ruthless!"

This wasn't what surprised him.

The reputation of [Heaven and Earth Slashing Sword] was known even to the Demon Slayer Division far away in Lonely Mountain City.

Even for him, a warrior who has entered the second realm and ignited the fire of life, it is extremely difficult to comprehend it.

Not to mention the warriors in the initial stage who have just condensed their qi and blood.

And can do this.

What kind of talent is required?
No wonder Zhang Yuan even taught martial arts like [Heaven and Earth Slash].

Haven’t you heard that such a martial arts genius emerged from the garrison camp?
"What is your name?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"Qin Hao."

Qin Hao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Chen Tong nodded and wrote down the name.

"Two heads of members of the Liansheng Sect are worth a hundred merits. I will keep this record for you."

After a pause, he patted Qin Hao's shoulder in appreciation:

"Kid, there's no future in the garrison camp. Are you interested in joining the Demon Slayer Division?"

He went from ignoring it at first to wanting to recruit it now.

Chen Tong's attitude change was earth-shaking.

Qin Hao put down the demon-slaying sword and said, "Captain Zhang has already discussed this matter with me."

Hear the words.

Chen Tong narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems that Zhang Yuan attaches great importance to this kid!
Are you starting to think about his future?

"Clean up the battlefield!"

"When we return to the Demon Slaying Division, I'll record a hundred more merits for you. You can exchange them for elixirs, martial arts skills, or seek guidance from a senior... Of course, you won't be able to use the last one."

Chen Tong didn't say much.

If so many corpses are not dealt with in a timely manner, they will inevitably breed evil things.

Not to mention, there is also a statue of the Mother of Compassion.

Qin Hao also joined the team.

It was not until dawn that the matter was completely cleaned up and the statue of the Mother of Liansheng was sealed.

The group dragged their exhausted bodies back to the Demon Slaying Division in Lonely Mountain City.

"First, escort the statue of Mother Liansheng to the Demon Prison for processing. When I report back, I will commend you for your merits."

Chen Tong greeted him and walked up to the building of the Demon-Slaying Division.

Qin Hao and other black-armored soldiers escorted the statue into the demon prison.

"How does it feel to face the demons and evil ways?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

Qin Hao looked down at his fist and grinned:
"not bad."

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly.

"When you gain merit, you can exchange it for blood-strengthening pills, which will be the best for you."

"Condensing Qi and blood is only the first step towards the initial realm."

Listening to Zhang Yuan's warning, Qin Hao couldn't help but look up and ask:

"After the Body Tempering Stage, how should I practice?"

Zhang Yuan explained to him, "In the Body Tempering Realm, one must continuously strengthen the Qi and blood, filling the fourteen orifices of the initial realm until the Qi and blood fill the entire body. Then, one can try to ignite the Life Fire."

The Body Tempering Realm is very simple.

Just one word: practice!

Two words: practice! eat!
Relying on hard work and precious medicines, he continuously enhanced his foundation.

"You have the Haoran Breathing Technique and the [Heaven and Earth Slash], so you don't need to worry about the 'practice' aspect. Compared to that, elixirs and precious medicines are what you need most."

Qin Hao kept it in mind.

"Rest now. I'll give you credit after Chen Tong reports back."

……

until evening.

Chen Tong had just arrived at the garrison camp.

The soldiers who participated in the crackdown on the evil followers of the Liansheng Sect basically killed bandits.

"Qin Hao, beheading two evil followers of the Liansheng Sect is worth a hundred merits!"

Chen Tong raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Yuan.

Then he turned his gaze to Qin Hao: "If you have anything you want to exchange, tell me now. If you can't think of it for the time being, you can go to the Demon Slayer Department on your own later."

Qin Hao's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he said, "I want the Blood Strengthening Pill!"

Chen Tong seemed to have known his choice long ago.

He immediately took out a wooden box from his sleeve.

"One hundred merits can be exchanged for two Blood Strengthening Pills. As for how to refine and swallow them, Captain Zhang will probably tell you."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Qin Hao took it.

Zhang Yuan stepped forward and said, "Master Chen, can you please spare me a moment?"

Chen Tong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

The two headed to the lobby.

Less than half a cup of tea later, Chen Tonglang came out smiling, as if there was some great news.

"Captain Zhang, I'll take care of this matter. I'll let you know when I have more information."

He cupped his fists.

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Qin Hao, his gaze fiery.

After he leaves.

Zhang Yuan had just told him, "Refine the Zhuangxue Pill as quickly as possible in the next few days. Chen Tong will prepare the Demon Slayer Division assessment for you. If you pass, you can be enlisted as an official and become a Demon Slayer!"
