After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 176 Thunder Gate [5th update, requesting double monthly votes!]

Changsun Bing was right next to Qi Sheng when she caught a glimpse of it and recognized it immediately: "This looks like the Rongye Mountain Xinru Sect's treasure, the 'Inverted Eight Gates Immortal Suppressing Flag'?"

"Shh!"

Qi Sheng gestured for Changsun Bing to be quiet and transmitted his voice to her, saying, "The patriarch of Xinru Sect, Sikong Li, was once instructed by Qi Zhen and his wife to ambush me. He was severely injured by me and then escaped. I was indignant at the time, so I sneaked into Xinru Sect, crippled sixteen of their masters, and took away their most precious treasure."

"..."

Changsun Bing thought to himself that the Xinru Sect was really unlucky to have provoked this Little Western Heretic.

The Xinru Sect wasn't a major sect, and it probably didn't have more than twenty experts. Yet, Qi Sheng crippled sixteen of them and stole the "Inverted Eight Gates Immortal Suppressing Flag." This once-great sect was now effectively ruined.

I just don't know when this happened, and I've never heard any rumors about it from the Western Regions.

Two possibilities—

First, it happened recently but has not yet been reported.

Secondly, Xinrumen felt empty and guilty and actively concealed the news.

But no matter what, the 'Upside-down Eight Gates Immortal-Suppressing Flag' is definitely real.

But then Qi Sheng took out this treasure, muttered incantations, and placed it in its proper parts to prevent the enemy from escaping.

He's such a sly one!

Changsun Bing found it amusing and transmitted his voice to him, saying, "We're here to provide backup, Young Hero Qi, are you afraid the thieves will escape?"

Qi Sheng said, "It's always better to be careful."

He always used all his strength, like a lion hunting a rabbit. He couldn't help it; he loved to scheme against people. Even though he was always hunting tigers, he was afraid that in the end, he would be pecked in the eye by an eagle.

After Qi Sheng had properly set up the 'Inverted Eight Gates Immortal Suppressing Flag', he saw that Ancestor Mingxu and True Man Fenglei were still observing. He also looked down into the valley below, where Granny Xian's secret technique, Cloud Dragon, had already suppressed the red light and sword light, and it seemed that they would be able to break through soon.

Qi Sheng thought for a moment, and since he had nothing better to do, he took out a mirror from one of the seven or eight leopard-skin pouches at his waist. With a single gesture, a golden light, hundreds of feet long, shone down into the yellow dust and red mist below. Unexpectedly, the demonic magic was extremely powerful. Although the golden light destroyed the yellow dust, the red mist did not diminish. Instead, it surged upwards like steam rising from a pot.

"..."

Changsun Bing looked at Qi Sheng at that time.

Mingxuzi and Fenglei Zhenren also looked at him almost simultaneously.

Qi Sheng said awkwardly, "This is the treasure 'Eight Trigrams Dividing Light Mirror' that I obtained from the Hermit of Yellow Flowers in Nine-Section Mountain a few days ago. It is special in dividing light and breaking energy. I originally thought it could break the yellow dust and red mist below, but I never expected that the yellow dust was actually suppressing the red mist."

He realized that his meddling had actually allowed the red mist to break free of its restraints and surge upwards.

Seeing his amusing expression, Changsun Bing teased, "We all know you have a lot of treasures, but you still insist on showing them off."

Qi Sheng smiled apologetically but remained silent.

this side.

Granny Xian shouted, "The demonic mist is powerful! Everyone, step back and let this old woman break it."

As he spoke, he pointed his iron cane downwards, and a beam of five-colored light shot out towards the red light and the flying sword. At the same time, he raised his right hand, and another ball of lightning and fire flew towards the surging red mist.

Rumble!
When the lightning struck the red mist, it roared incessantly, turning into plumes of bloody smoke, crimson as blood, accompanied by countless wailing cries of ghosts, which gradually dissipated.

Now look below.

With a loud bang, the flying sword let out a whimper and plummeted downwards. At that moment, the yellow dust and red mist dissipated, and the treasure returned to reveal two figures in the valley below, indeed a man and a woman.

The man was extremely thin and was an old man.

The woman was beautiful and extremely charming.

Upon seeing their true faces, Lai Wen finally recognized them: "So they are the Male and Female Blood Demons!" Who are they?
Qi Sheng looked at Changsun Bing, and heard this 'Ice Soul Goddess' say to him: "This couple were originally cultivators from the Western Region. In their early years, they obtained some kind of bloody demonic art and were accustomed to cultivating with human blood. They committed many bloody crimes, hence the name 'Male and Female Blood Demons'. Decades ago, my third brother destroyed two of their treasures, causing them to suffer severe injuries and flee. But who knew that in these decades they would refine this red mist, which is quite powerful."

Lai Wen added, "Judging by the time, these two are probably around 140 or 150 years old. If they haven't reached the ninth level, their time is probably coming to an end. They must have come to Imprisoned Dragon Abyss to prolong their lives with the elixir of immortality in the forbidden area. But unexpectedly, they have been trapped under Scissors Peak before they have even truly entered."

Mingxuzi saw a fat monk lying beside the couple and, recalling the yellow dust from before, suddenly understood: "That yellow dust was actually the manifestation of Master Buku's Yellow Dragon Rosary. It seems that the two sides encountered each other here. Master Buku was no match for the male and female blood demons and was killed. Before he died, the Yellow Dragon Rosary exploded, manifesting a cloud of yellow dust that trapped the two demons."

The two demons were breaking through the yellow dust when the others arrived. They released flying swords and red light to lure the demons into breaking through the yellow dust.

Granny Xian, being experienced, is testing the waters.

Qi Sheng, lacking experience, was greatly fooled and almost let their evil scheme succeed.

Think about this.

Qi Sheng was both ashamed and angry. Seeing the two demons trying to escape, he laughed and shouted, "You have committed countless evils, do you still want to escape?"

He secretly used a magical technique, pressing his right thumb against his right nostril and blowing his left nostril out—

Rumble!
A clap of thunder sounded, followed by a deafening roar, and then everything was suddenly brightly lit. Looking up, I saw a bolt of lightning appear from the sky, spreading out amidst flashes and roars, pressing down in all directions. After the tremor, the lightning scattered, a silver rain falling from the sky, with countless bolts of lightning shooting through the air.

The male and female blood demons had only flown a few dozen feet when they were surrounded on all sides.

He had just cried out, "Fellow Daoist, spare my life!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down, instantly turning the two demons to ashes. Their bodies and spirits were completely destroyed, leaving no trace of their remains. They met a violent end.

He lay dormant for decades.

They begged for the secret to immortality.

But in the end, he still couldn't get what he wanted, and died a gruesome death.

Lai Wen's eyes lit up at this moment: "Is this the 'Rain Gate Rain Door Technique'?"

Qi Sheng, having killed the demon, felt relieved and his shame and anger dissipated. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Fourth Master Lai has good eyesight."

Lai Wen himself practiced thunder magic, so he knew: "Thunder magic regards the human body as a small world, from which wind, rain and thunder all originate. Therefore, the thunder gate and rain gate are also in the human body. However, different thunder magics refer to different things. It seems that the lineage that Young Hero Qi practices uses the theory of 'two orifices in the throat'."

The fourth leader, overjoyed at the sight of the prey, kept talking: "'There are two orifices in the throat that come out of the nose. The left one is called the Thunder Gate, and the right one is called the Rain Gate.'"

He exclaimed with delight, "I've only ever heard of it before, I never imagined I'd see it for myself today."

Lai Wen looked at Qi Sheng: "So Young Hero Qi also understands thunder magic. We should exchange ideas more often in the future."

Qi Sheng hadn't expected that this Master Feng Lei would be so interested in thunder magic. He smiled and said, "This junior has only a slight understanding of thunder magic. I will need Master Lai's guidance in the future."

Lai Wen was a straightforward person, and he found the title "Fourth Master Lai" rather awkward, so he said, "In my opinion, you don't need to call me 'Master,' and I won't call you 'Young Hero.' I'm older, so I'll take the advantage and accept your title of 'Fourth Brother,' and call you 'Brother Qi,' how about that?"

Qi Sheng was not one to mince words, and seeing Lai Wen's sincere feelings, he immediately said, "Fourth Brother!"

Lai Wen laughed heartily: "Brother Qi! Excellent, excellent!"

Changsun Bing, who was standing nearby, chimed in and asked Qi Sheng, "You call him Fourth Brother, but what do you call me?"

Qi Sheng smiled: "Fourth Sister-in-law."

"Hey!"

Changsun Bingqing readily agreed, and addressed him as "Little Brother".

In an instant, a joyful atmosphere filled the mountainside. The group had not yet truly entered the Dragon Prison Abyss, but their relationship had taken a significant step forward after encountering the Male and Female Blood Demons on Scissors Peak and fighting them together.
