A master of comedy!

"Help! Help!"

"The boss will definitely come to save me!"

In a stomach pool, Red Line felt its body being slowly corroded. In a panic, it cried for help, but received no response.

Once she calmed down, she realized the corrosion wasn't happening as fast, so she simply started swimming in the stomach acid.

After playing for a while, she decided to take the initiative to find the leader.

Then she discovered that the roads here were very interesting, all covered in slippery mucus that slid along her intestines, making it all very random.

During this process, she also discovered a pleasant surprise.

They were black Buddhist beads, deeply embedded in the flesh, with mysterious Sanskrit characters carved on them.

One Hundred and Eight Arhats Subdue Demons!

This treasure has 108 beads, symbolizing the 108 Arhats of the heavens. It can be used to set up a demon-locking array and is extremely powerful.

Unfortunately, the loss of the thirty-six most crucial ones greatly reduced its power.

It turns out that the missing thirty-six Buddhist beads were hidden inside the dragon's body. They must have been inserted into it back then, and later slowly healed, so they were forever buried.

Hongxian was overjoyed and began collecting the beads one by one.

Suddenly, she felt a dizzying sensation, followed by an intense feeling of weightlessness. Her feet trembled violently, and the prayer beads in her hand were almost knocked away.

The dragon seemed to have crashed to the ground from the sky.

After a heart-wrenching scream, the massive body stopped moving completely, and the scalding dragon blood surged and rushed in one direction.

It seems there is a huge, irreparable wound there.

At the very tip of his tongue, Zhou Sheng, holding Jinse in one arm and the Broken Precept Blade in the other, bathed in the scalding dragon blood, stepped out and saw the light of day once more.

Zhou Sheng's loose hair was completely soaked with dragon blood, and blue smoke kept rising from his bronze skin, as if he were being baked by high temperatures.

Jinse, whom he held in his arms, had already fainted and was barely breathing.

First she was injured by the dragon's roar, then her essence was depleted in the dragon's belly, and now she has been tainted by the extremely domineering demonic dragon's blood. Her current condition is very bad.

Therefore, even though the Luo Shu in his mind shone brightly and he gained an astonishing amount of energy, Zhou Sheng's expression remained extremely solemn.

Thunder roared.

His figure had disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was in a secluded place, and immediately took Jinse into the immortal stone.

"Welcome, Master..."

Before the boy and girl could finish their auspicious words, Zhou Sheng immediately interrupted them.

"You two, quickly help her bathe and change her clothes."

The two maidens quickly stepped forward, picked up Jinse, carried her behind the screen, took off her outer clothes, and carefully washed her delicate body, which looked like it was carved from jade, with the spiritual spring water.

Her skin was as delicate as tofu, and it turned pink at the slightest touch.

Zhou Sheng immediately sat cross-legged, took medicine, and regulated his breathing.

Jinse's injuries were not minor, and the spiritual spring alone was definitely not enough. He also needed to use his internal energy to help her heal. Therefore, Zhou Sheng had to recover his magical power as soon as possible.

This demonic dragon's gluttonous power is indeed formidable; entering its belly was actually a risky move.

According to the calculations of the Luo Shu, to forcibly kill the demonic dragon from the outside, one must have the cultivation level of a Tribulation Transcending. Although Zhou Sheng and the Eighteen Arhats could severely injure it by joining forces, they would also force it to fly over Ge'an City and devour the people of that city.

Immediately afterwards, the demonic dragon fled along the river, devouring everything in its path, resulting in twelve empty cities appearing in Qingzhou within three days.

Such a tragic scene eventually alarmed the Tribulation-Transcending Elders of the Xuanqiong Division, who surrounded and killed him.

The cost to the twelve cities of Qingzhou, hundreds of thousands of people, and countless cattle, sheep, and livestock was simply too high.

Fortunately, the Luo Shu revealed the dragon's weakness.

The Taotie's divine power can devour everything, but the demon dragon's digestive ability cannot keep up. If one actively enters its body, finds the reverse scale, and breaks out of its belly, one can break the divine power and kill the demon dragon.

This plan is a dead end for many people; it's completely impossible to succeed.

While the demonic dragon's digestive ability isn't as formidable as that of a true ferocious beast like the Taotie, it's still considerable; even cultivators at the fifth level can't withstand it for long. The Reverse Scale, however, is hidden in an extremely secret location and will constantly flee upon sensing danger.

If you fail to break through its defenses within the limited time, you will truly become nourishment for the dragon.

Only Zhou Sheng, with the help of the Luo Shu, was able to escape danger and survive, finally killing the demonic dragon on its way to Ge'an City.

Unfortunately, he overlooked Jinse's safety and did not expect that she would encounter a calamity and be in danger of losing her life at any moment.

"Master, it's all clean now."

The beautiful woman stepped out and said.

The next moment, Zhou Sheng immediately opened his eyes. Although his internal magic power had only recovered to 50%, he didn't care about that anymore and stepped towards the screen.

But then he was taken aback and his gaze instinctively darted away.

Behind the screen, in the misty air, lay a beautiful woman with a jade-like body, her damp, dark hair draped over her back, which was as white as mutton fat, making her skin appear even more translucent and snow-white.

Her fairy-like, elegant face still had a slight blush from bathing in the hot spring.

She slept peacefully, wearing only a light, gauze-like long dress. Because her body was so slender and graceful, the dress was a bit too big, and a corner slipped down from her shoulder, revealing her delicate collarbone.

Those beautiful, slender feet, cleansed of their grime, shone with a new luster like soft jade. Drops of glistening dew slid down their snow-white, delicate insteps, like tender bamboo shoots just sprouting from a lotus pond.

This sheer long dress is almost transparent; it looks elegant, yet it has a mysterious allure.

Zhou Sheng knew that Yu Nu had misunderstood him, thinking that he wanted to have sex with her.

There was no time to reprimand them, because Zhou Sheng had already seen that the rosy glow on Jinse's face, which had just appeared from her bath, was rapidly turning pale.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, like Xi Shi clutching her heart.

He stepped forward, first taking out a healing pill and stuffing it into the patient's mouth, then gently pressing the cheekbone acupoint so that the patient could swallow it naturally even while unconscious.

Then he placed his hand on the other person's dantian.

The dantian is the foundation of a cultivator. Even for a spirit like Jinse, the dantian is the place where magical power is concentrated, and it is of utmost importance.

As Zhou Sheng channeled his magical power and the pills neutralized her ailment, her complexion seemed to improve, and soon her eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.

Facing those clear, transparent eyes, Zhou Sheng managed a weak smile.

"I'm dying."

Jinse spoke cruel words in a gentle voice, but suddenly twisted her waist and blushed.

"Master, don't touch me, it's itchy down there..."

Her waist was her most sensitive spot, and also the location of the burnt tail on the guqin.

Zhou Sheng paused slightly as he was applying pressure to the acupoints.

"Actually, it's not death, it's just that my cultivation has been scattered and I need to start over. I was a zither back then, and now I'm just turning from a person into a zither again."

Jinse showed no sadness; on the contrary, she was quite calm.

She did not possess Zhou Sheng's extraordinary skill of using copper armor to slay corpses, nor did she have Hong Xian's innate talent of having a stone embryo body. As a spirit, her progress in cultivating magical power was slow, relying purely on daily accumulation and her own insights.

The gap between them and the Demon Dragon, who was about to undergo tribulation, was simply too great.

If Zhou Sheng hadn't protected her immediately, she probably wouldn't have turned back into a zither; she would have melted into the stomach pool long ago.

"Maybe one day, I can become human again, and then... I can still... play the piano for you......"

Jinse's voice grew weaker and weaker, and the luster on her body gradually dimmed, slowly revealing her true form.

"I said, not one can be missing."

Zhou Sheng suddenly looked up, his voice still firm and powerful.

"I have a way to help you, but... I'm sorry to offend you!"
