Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 112 Heavenly Thunder

Chen Hengyi took the plastic bag from Zhang Laotianshi, and the others in the room gestured for him to open it and take a look.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Hengyi took out an A4-sized printed booklet, a wax-sealed pill, and finally a simply wrapped copper coin sword from the black plastic bag.

"what?"

Chen Hengyi was taken aback. Was this a return gift from the Taoist sects in China?

This looks like visiting relatives during Chinese New Year, right? No, when visiting relatives, you should at least buy some nice packaging, but this doesn't even have any packaging.

Although he knew these three items were definitely extraordinary, this was just too casual.

Everyone burst into laughter when they saw Chen Hengyi's confused expression.

Master Zhao from Maoshan came over to introduce it to him. First, he took out a booklet without a cover: "This is the Palm Thunder passed down from the Old Celestial Master."

Old Zhang's palm-sized thunderbolt!

Upon hearing this, Chen Hengyi felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

The phrase "palm thunder" is familiar to many films and novels.

Many thunder techniques, which originate from the palm, are also called palm thunder, but they vary from school to school.

The Zhang family was a top-tier force in the entire Taoist community. Chen Hengyi didn't need to think much to know that they must be extremely powerful. In the end, he quickly thanked the old Celestial Master Zhang.

That wasn't all. Immediately afterwards, Master Zhao picked up the wax-sealed pill and said, "This is the Three Talents Great Pill from Longhu Mountain."

The Three Talents Great Elixir? Chen Hengyi was taken aback; he had never heard of this name before.

At this moment, Wang Gaogong from Longhu Mountain chuckled and said, "Good things like this are always kept hidden and unknown to outsiders."

""

Chen Hengyi then asked, "How and when should I use this Three Talents Great Elixir?"

Longhu Mountain High Priest Wang: "The Three Powers triumph over the Lord of Heaven and Earth, and the Four Symbols submit to the King of Heaven and Earth. After consuming the Dragon Essence and Tiger Mercury, one will naturally attain a supreme immortal realm. It is naturally at the time when the Three Powers converge that you will have a spiritual connection, which is the best outcome."

If you're in a hurry, take it after meals and remember to drink plenty of water. As for the effects, you'll know by observing them later.

Finally, when it came to the coin sword, Master Zhao explained, "This is the copper coin sword. The copper coins are made from the coins of the Five Emperors. You will definitely be able to use it when you kill ghosts and exorcise demons in the future."

Chen Hengyi knew that the copper coin sword was divided into the Great Five Emperors Coin and the Small Five Emperors Coin.

The "Five Great Emperors" refers to the copper coins used during the Qin Banliang, Han Wutie, Tang Kaiyuan, Song Songyuan, and Ming Yongle periods.

The term "Five Little Emperors" refers to the copper coins issued during the reigns of five Qing Dynasty emperors: Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing.

If we're talking about which is more powerful, then the Five Emperors Coins are definitely superior.

However, the "Five Emperors Coins" commonly referred to by ordinary people mostly refer to the "Small Five Emperors Coins" because they are from a more recent period, have a larger issuance volume, and are easier to collect.

Hearing all this, Chen Hengyi was naturally delighted.

He has the magic, the elixirs, and the magical artifacts.

Most importantly, he hadn't expected any return gift in the first place, so this was a pleasant surprise!

He quickly put away the three good things and then thanked everyone.

Immediately afterwards, taking advantage of the free time and the presence of so many senior figures in the cultivation world, Chen Hengyi inquired about some difficulties in cultivation.

What Chen Hengyi is currently facing are nothing to these bigwigs present.

Moreover, their lineage is well-established, and they have accumulated countless experiences over the generations, all of which Chen Hengyi needs.

Two and a half hours passed in this conversation, and Chen Hengyi absorbed knowledge like a dry sponge.

Then, the group that had gone out to deal with the fox demon returned.

Upon returning, everyone bowed in turn, and then a video was projected onto the screen in the conference room.

The video showed a small courtyard in the suburbs. The recording equipment used to film the video was unknown, but it clearly revealed some Japanese conversations, with people constantly entering and leaving the courtyard.

Half a minute later, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared on the screen. The lightning was so bright that it absorbed all the surrounding light, making the screen appear somewhat dark.

With a loud bang, it was extremely loud.

After the lightning strike, a fox's meow was heard, but then another lightning strike occurred, and the video ended.

A disciple from Wudang Mountain took out a small bag. When he opened it, he found some charred black objects inside, which were the remnants of the Japanese evil spirit.

After reading this, Chen Hengyi fell silent for a moment, because these people acted too quickly. With just two lightning strikes, they had dealt with the Japanese and even brought back the body.

Judging from the fact that the fox demon's descendant could still make a fox cry after being struck by lightning, the opponent must be quite strong. If I were to fight the opponent, it would probably take quite a bit of effort.

Unfortunately for him, he was facing the elite Chinese Taoist sect. Don't be fooled by the fact that these people on this mission are barely mentioned here; back in China, every single one of them would be a renowned figure, a genius.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been brought here by the Old Master and others.

Chen Hengyi was quite satisfied with this.

Chen Hengyi sensed that, in theory, the fox demon had been eliminated and the nails removed, but his task was not yet complete.

As various thoughts raced through his mind, he realized that perhaps he could only complete the mission after eliminating Qi Shun'ai.

As mentioned before, these people are merely his descendants.

It seems the other party has actually lived for so long and is still alive.

He thought for a moment and then mentioned the possibility that the old fox might still be alive.

After listening, the old master laughed smugly, "Don't worry, now that I'm out here, I definitely need to stretch my muscles, otherwise it would be a wasted trip. No matter what kind of old fox or old dog they are, if they've done anything despicable in the past, none of them will escape."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hengyi asked curiously, "Does the Old Celestial Master already have a plan?"

"That's for sure. A fine tradition of China is to plan before acting; we can't fight a battle unprepared..."

'

"Then I..." Chen Hengyi thought to himself, "So, should I just focus on my own business from now on?"

Just as Chen Hengyi was pondering this, in a shrine on a very distant Japanese island.

Foxes roam freely throughout the shrine, and statues with human bodies and fox heads stand solemnly on both sides of the sacred path. The shrine is bustling with worshippers, making it a place of great religious significance.

And in a secret room behind this shrine—

Inside the secret room behind the shrine, candles flickered on their own without any wind.

Qi Shun'ai, dressed in hunting attire, knelt before the altar, her fingertips twirling a fox shikigami talisman that glowed with an eerie light.

Amidst the swirling sandalwood incense, he closed his eyes, sensing the shared bloodline aura far away in South Korea—a descendant he had sent out, bearing the mission of restarting the family's "Dragon-Slaying Nail," and also...

Suddenly, the talisman cracked open with a "sizzle" sound, leaving a scorch mark!

Qi Shun'ai suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils shrinking abruptly into two scarlet vertical lines!

"Impossible—" he hissed, his fingertips trembling as he traced the cracks in the talisman. A searing pain, as if his soul had been torn apart by lightning, surged through his veins and pierced his consciousness—it was the final lament of his people before their annihilation.

The candlelight flickered wildly in the sealed room, and the fox shadows on the walls twisted and grotesquely.

"Those Chinese Taoist priests—how dare they!!"

He rose in a rage, his hunting robes billowing like black clouds, and the bronze mirror on the altar vibrated with a "hum," his ferocious face reflected in the cracks of the mirror's surface.

Red fox fur appeared on its cheeks, and its canine teeth pierced its lower lip, with blood dripping down its jaw and burning into the bluestone bricks, creating wisps of white smoke.

He shattered the bronze mirror with a single palm strike, the shards embedding themselves in his palm without him noticing. "Run'er was wiped out as soon as he arrived in Seoul—how could those Chinese have arrived so quickly?!"

The paper shikigami doll in the corner of the secret room spontaneously combusted without fire, and from the ashes came the dying scream of a young fox.
