This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 107 Demon Extermination Points Soar, Cultivation Breakthrough Again

"My lord, my lord, the opportunity has arrived, I cannot let it slip away..."

The Jiang family steward's eyes flickered, but Master Jiang didn't notice at all. He was only concerned with leading Zhong Bai to the cellar where the Jiang family stored the wax corpses.

Inside the Jiang family's cellar.

When Zhong Bai arrived at this place, he was quite surprised. It was called a cellar, but it was actually a huge underground space with only one entrance. The entire underground space was empty and surrounded by wax corpses.

Seeing the wax corpse also beginning to drip wax, Master Jiang had already come to believe it.

This underground space has been a treasure trove used by the Jiang family for hundreds of years to store wax corpses, so it should be impossible for wax to drip from it.

"Master, this is the place!"

Zhong Bai nodded, then took a deep breath, and his blood and qi surged forth. In an instant, any wax corpses within a thirty-meter radius of Zhong Bai that his blood and qi touched were instantly ignited by the Samadhi True Fire and burned.

After walking around, hundreds of wax corpses were set ablaze. As the flames engulfed these wax corpses, the wax corpses, which were about to revive, began to struggle, rolling, roaring, and crawling in the flames, but all to no avail.

These images opened up a new world for Master Jiang, and at this moment he felt his skillful hands, which were making wax corpses, trembling incessantly.

"Alright, these wax corpses have been dealt with. Now all that's missing is the silver-armored corpse king. Whether your Jiang family can escape this calamity depends on fate."

After Zhong Bai finished speaking, he left the place, and Master Jiang followed closely behind.

......................................................

Upon exiting the cellar, Zhong Bai saw the values ​​on his demon-slaying panel rapidly increasing.

Those who were just burned to death were all hairy zombies that were about to turn into corpses. Each one costs fifty demon-slaying points, and after several hundred, it adds up to more than ten thousand demon-slaying points.

Although he had never killed the Silver Armored Corpse King, Zhong Bai felt that the Silver Armored Corpse King was probably not as terrifying as the demon-slaying points brought by these hundreds of hairy zombies.

[Slay 400 hairy zombies to obtain 20000 demon-slaying points]

Current Demon Extermination Points: 23000

In the darkness of night, the Jiang family butler stared at the young master of the Jiang family in front of him with some hesitation.

With Master Jiang away, now is the perfect time to make a move, but...

Zhong Bai's arrival made him somewhat uneasy. According to the original plan, he was Tang Shanshan's brother's inside man, responsible for secretly killing the young master of the Jiang family. In this way, after the death of the old master Jiang, the entire Jiang family would be inherited by Tang Shanshan. To put it bluntly, Tang Long wanted to scheme for the Jiang family's wealth.

Now... after hearing the news of the zombie outbreak, the butler was initially skeptical, but after Zhong Bai and Master Jiang left, he felt a panic he had never experienced before.

The feeling of being watched by wild beasts made him increasingly apprehensive.

Just as he took a deep breath, preparing to make a move against the young master of the Jiang family, a loud bang was heard!
The ground beneath his feet was torn apart!
A terrifying figure instantly grabbed him from beneath his feet.

"Master, save me!"

He had barely uttered the words "Master, save me!" when he found his blood rapidly flowing from his seven orifices. In the blink of an eye, he was a dried-up corpse.

Hearing the commotion, the first to arrive were Zhang Jing and his five disciples. When they arrived, only dried-up human remains remained on the ground, while the silver-armored corpse king had once again burrowed underground to hide.

When Zhong Bai and Master Jiang arrived from the cellar, they saw Zhang Jing staring at the abyss on the ground for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

"Senior Zhang, was this made by the Silver-Armored Corpse King?"

Zhong Bai pointed to the dried-up human body on the ground, and Zhang Jing nodded solemnly, saying, "Zhong Daozi, this silver-armored corpse king is seriously injured, but if it continues to suck human blood like this, its injuries will probably heal very quickly. Moreover, its earth-burrowing ability is hard to defend against. The only way to kill it is to lure it out..."

Zhong Bai listened but did not agree. How difficult it would be to lure out the Silver Armored Corpse King.

Besides, who will lead the way?
At this moment, Bai finally understood why a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Daoist sect would rather face demon soldiers and generals than the Silver Armor Corpse King or the Golden Armor Corpse King. Damn it, if the Silver Armor Corpse King awakened the ability to burrow underground and tried to escape, a Foundation Establishment cultivator would really have no way to deal with it.

"Senior Zhang, please speak your mind."

Zhong Bai spoke in a deep voice, and Zhang Jing's words were indeed loaded with meaning, "Zhong Daozi, do you have any treasures that can instantly cripple the Silver Armor Corpse King?"
"Well, it's like this, the Silver Armored Corpse King needs to touch the ground to burrow underground. If we can kill it the moment it leaves the ground, maybe we can give it a shot..."

Zhong Bai found it increasingly absurd. No, just the two of them? Could they really do it? Was this for real?

Seeing Zhong Bai's disbelieving look, Zhang Jing couldn't help but sigh.

“Zhong Daozi, although I have some ailments, if I risk my life, I might be able to kill him instantly, as long as you can severely injure him beforehand.”

Although the suggestion was somewhat impractical, Zhong Bai thought about it carefully and still didn't refuse.

Severely injuring him might not be difficult for Zhong Bai. Among the trump cards left to him by True Master Qian Yuan, there are still two jade talismans left. Back then, even the Crimson Serpent General, whose realm was almost comparable to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, was injured by the jade talismans. Using both of them on this Silver Armored Corpse King might just be enough to severely injure him!

Especially after fighting this silver-armored corpse king, Zhong Bai felt that this silver-armored corpse king should be a newly evolved silver armor, and it was several times weaker than the pressure he felt when facing the Crimson Serpent General.

"Senior Zhang, I can give it a try, but whether I can kill him here is unknown. If it really doesn't work..."

I will invite my elders from my sect to come. It is merely a Silver Armored Corpse King. It should not be difficult for Maoshan to kill it.

Furthermore, this humble Taoist priest can even invite the patriarchs of the underworld to come up. In short, Senior Zhang, please rest assured.

When you're out in the game, connections matter.

Zhong Bai might be helpless against this silver-armored corpse king, but any elder from Maoshan could easily subdue it.

Zhong Bai just happened to think that the Silver Armored Corpse King might be liked by his Elder Uncle Changsheng from the Corpse Driving Hall.

As for the ancestor of the underworld, before Zhong Bai went down the mountain, in addition to giving him a spirit sword, True Man Qian Yuan also put an ancestor's tablet into his Qiankun Ring!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jing fell silent instantly. This damnedly massive background... "I understand, Zhong Daozi. It seems unlikely that the Silver Armored Corpse King will continue to appear now."

However, his injuries won't heal so easily; we'll lure him again tomorrow.

The reason for this judgment is that the Silver Armored Corpse King is currently injured, and it will definitely heal its injuries by absorbing blood as soon as possible.

Zhong Bai smiled and said, "Indeed, it will be dawn in two hours. Once the sun rises, even the Silver Armor Corpse King will not be able to move under the scorching sun."

"That's right, but we still need to be careful in the last two hours."

Time passed slowly, and night fell, but the Silver-Armored Corpse King did not appear.

He should have been lying in seclusion underground to recover from his injuries, but after dawn, the once quiet Bai Jiang family home became lively again.

......................................................

"Tang Long, what brings you to my Jiang family?"
I remember, your sister had only just married into the Jiang family; it wasn't yet time for you to take her home for her homecoming.

Inside the main hall of the Jiang family, the patriarch of the Jiang family originally planned to leave with his son, but the wealth accumulated by the Jiang family over generations was all here.

He left and wanted to come back? Ha! Who knows if he'll even have anything left? As for taking it with him, that's even more foolish. If he dared to take the Jiang family's wealth, countless people would covet it on the way, and he'd probably die even faster.

Leaving is not an option, staying is not an option either; taking them with us is not an option, leaving them is not an option either.

When Mr. Jiang, who was hesitating and conflicted, saw Tang Long arrive at the Jiang family, he immediately became cautious.

Tang Long wore a somewhat wicked smile.

“Master Jiang, we are family after all, why be so hostile?”
I heard that the Jiang family's wax corpse had turned into a zombie last night, so I rushed over this morning to see if I could help.

Tang Long's words left Old Master Jiang speechless for a long time. "Your information comes quickly!"

With a solemn expression, Master Jiang realized that some of the servants in his Jiang family had probably been bribed by Tang Long.

However... Tang Long clearly didn't believe what happened at the Jiang family last night was true, otherwise he would never have come over at this time.

With a chuckle, Master Jiang relaxed his tense expression and said, "Since Brother Tang wants to help, would you be willing to stay tonight?"

"Oh?"

Tang Long frowned, sensing something was amiss. Why would this old guy let him stay?
However, the opportunity was too good to miss, so after some thought, Tang Long decided to stay.

"So good!"

Seeing that Tang Long agreed to stay, Master Jiang simply stopped worrying about whether to leave or not. If they were to live, they would live together; if they were to die, they would die together. Master Jiang felt it was worth it to take the risk with Tang Long.

Zhong Bai and Zhang Jing, along with their four disciples, didn't care at all about Tang Long's arrival.

At this moment, while Zhang Jing and his four disciples were recovering their true energy, Zhang Jing was also healing his injuries and nourishing his spirit. He was going to unleash the most amazing sword strike of his life tonight!
Zhong Bai, meanwhile, was in the Jiang family's side room, planning to use the massive amount of demon-slaying points he had obtained the previous night to strengthen himself.

Concentrating his mind and energy, Zhong Bai was exceptionally calm at this moment.

[Consume 3000 Demon Extermination Points to exchange for 3000 days of Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique cultivation]

[Day 111: The 100 days of arduous training have begun to slowly increase the true energy within your body.]

[On the 1111th day, after a thousand days of arduous training, your initial stage of the ninth level of Qi Refining has begun to loosen.]

[On the 2000th day, your internal energy has reached a bottleneck, and you are about to enter the mid-stage of the ninth level of Qi Refining.]

[On the 2500th day, you broke through and reached the mid-stage of the ninth level of Qi Refining.]

[All demon-slaying points have been used up]

As the demon-slaying points were consumed, spiritual energy from heaven and earth within a radius of several miles around Zhong Bai surged in rapidly, while the true essence within Zhong Bai's body also increased rapidly.

In the next room, Zhang Jing and his five disciples, whose recovery speed was not fast to begin with, suddenly felt the surge of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

While they were still wondering, they discovered that after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in, they could not absorb it into their bodies, but instead it rushed wildly into the next room.

This scene startled Zhang Jing, who was cultivating his energy and spirit. He looked at the room where the spiritual energy flowed and muttered to himself.

"No wonder Zhong Daozi was able to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining at around twenty years old. With such a terrifying cultivation method, it's possible that he could even reach the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone just the ninth level of Qi Refining!"

Zhang Jing had a deeper understanding of Zhong Bai's terrifying power. In his view, if nothing unexpected happened, Zhong Bai would definitely be able to reach the Golden Core True Monarch realm in this lifetime!
This is a height he could never reach in his entire life...

"Master, look at this..."

Seeing the four people—wind, rain, thunder, and lightning—looking at him awkwardly, Zhang Jing smiled faintly.

"You felt it too?"

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surges forth, but you are unable to refine it; this is due to Zhong Daozi.

"Don't worry, Zhong Daozi will return to normal once he finishes his cultivation."

I can't take it easy today, so I'll only be updating at 3 PM... Thank you so much for all the monthly tickets, my dear readers, sob sob...
