The demon monk in the second dimension

The magic spells roared and charged at the stubborn rock like bulls with bloodshot eyes, ramming it with their bodies.

Gradually, the protruding edges of the stubborn stone were polished, and the uneven texture gradually disappeared.

Constant dripping wears away a stone!

Three hours later, under the constant erosion of magical power, the stubborn rock finally gave way and a crack appeared!

Snapped!

Seeing this, Xia Zhi further transformed her magical power and continued to bombard the stubborn rock.

When nearly nine hundred Kabane were consumed by the Summer Solstice, the stubborn rock's resistance finally reached its breaking point.

Snap! Snap!

Frequent cracking sounds came from all parts of the stubborn rock, and fragments kept falling from it.

Finally, Xia Zhi gathered all the magical power in her dantian in one go!

This magical power transformed into a black tortoise, which flew to the stubborn rock and rammed into it fiercely!

boom!

The broken, stubborn rock exploded under the final impact of the magic!

A golden pill burst forth from the stone, radiating endless golden light within Xia Zhi's dantian!

I possess a bright pearl, long locked away by worldly cares. Today, the dust has settled, its light shines forth, illuminating countless mountains and rivers!

Golden Core stage, breakthrough!

When the golden core appeared in Xia Zhi's dantian, Xia Zhi's speed in circulating the Soul Devouring Technique increased several times over.

He quickly devoured the remaining Kabane souls, transforming them into mana that filled his empty dantian.

After entering the Golden Core stage, Xia Zhi opened her tightly closed eyes.

His eyes changed from turquoise to black, his facial features underwent subtle adjustments, and his skin tone also changed.

Once Xia Zhi reaches the Nascent Soul stage, aside from retaining her white hair, her appearance will revert to what it was before she possessed the body.

……

Riding on crimson light, Xia Zhi flew back to Yadai-i Station.

More than twenty hours had passed since he left Yatsushiro Station, almost a day and a night.

After landing, Xia Zhi touched the red light of the sword, stored it in his dantian, and came to the blood pool in the Eight Generations Station.

Now, the White Bone Banner has grown from seven feet to seven feet four inches.

Its evolution is quite demanding. Unlike the Crimson Light, which can be directly forged using Kabane, it requires absorbing sufficient essence blood and the bones of powerful creatures.

Now, the summer solstice has arrived at the Golden Elixir stage, which can activate the White Bone Banner and accelerate its absorption of essence and blood.

"Therefore, we must intensify the hunting of Kabane. And it's also time to build a larger blood pool within Xianjin Post Station!"

In the original timeline, Yashiro Station fell earlier than Kenjin Station.

However, the "black smoke" that caused the fall of Yatsushiro Station, namely the Kabane fusion group, has now been dealt with by the summer solstice.

Kenjin Station is one of the few heavy industrial stations in Japan, and it is stepping up the production of firearms and the training of soldiers.

These are all free laborers, and Xia Zhi is unwilling to put in the effort to start over.

After becoming a Golden Core cultivator, Xia Zhi gave Yuan Songgang and the elders of the Eight Generations Inn a second hypnosis session.

This is a one-time use, lifetime effective version.

After resting for a few hours, he gave an order to Yuan Songgang, and under his admiring gaze, he rode the Crimson Light Sword into the sky and flew towards Xianjin Post Station.

Chapter 50 Xianjin Post Station

The monk of Yatsudai-i Station is a household name in Akane-i Station.

Legend has it that this mage always led from the front, often charging the Kabane with his warriors, and possessed powerful magic capable of annihilating hundreds of Kabane in one go!

He was known as the "Hatsushiro-eki-shu" (Hard-time Garrison of the Eight Generations Station)!

Unlike ordinary people.

Ikoma, who contributed significantly to the development of the Vulcan Gun, held the mage in even higher esteem and reverence.

"Compared to a musket, my cannon is far inferior! I really want to meet that mage and see what kind of person he is!"

Ikoma sighed and continued his research.

When Kenjiro Yoshikazu returned to Kenjin Station yesterday, he also brought with him the design drawings for the Vulcan pistol version.

Ikoma hadn't even had a few days to rest before he was summoned again to study production.

That's how the production team used their donkeys!

As a special research and development staff member, Ikoma arrives at the "Research Institute" established a few months ago and enjoys a free breakfast.

Breakfast was the same as that of the samurai, and was considered quite lavish in an era of scarcity.

But when he arrived at the entrance, he found that the research institute, which was originally guarded by only two samurai, was now occupied by a large group of people.

Lord Shimokawa Kensho, the lord of Kensho Station, accompanied a young man dressed in a noble white hunting robe with striking white hair, who looked to be no more than twenty years old.

Ikoma's arrival caught the attention of Kenjiro Yoshihide.

He beckoned Ikoma over and introduced him to Natsumi.

"Master, this is Ikoma. Ikoma, quickly greet the Master!"

Is this the mage who invented the Vulcan Gun?

Ikoma was startled and quickly lowered his head to pay his respects to Xia Zhi.

"Master Mage!"

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded at the male protagonist.

"Hmm. I've heard about you from the City Lord of Sifangchuan. Keep up the good work. In two years, I'll have the City Lord find you a beautiful wife."

Faced with Xia Zhi's good-natured teasing, the people around her quickly burst into laughter.

Seventeen years old this year, Ikoma, who had gotten up several times in the middle of the night to wash his underwear, blushed with embarrassment.

He thought to himself, "This monk seems to be a very kind person."

……

After visiting the research institute, Xia Zhi instructed Shifangchuan Jian to gather his samurai.

Xia Zhi had previously instructed that Shifangchuan Jianjiang should have a square pit dug, ten meters long and wide, and three meters deep.

Now that the pit has been dug, it's time to fill it with Kabane.

"You are all warriors whom Lord Yomogawa is proud of. Now I am going out of the castle to hunt Kabane. Is there anyone willing to come with me and fight side by side?"

Among the samurai of Kenjin Station, Arakawa Kibito, who was controlled by Natsumi, had left the city with Natsumi at Yatsushiro Station.

So this time, he was the first to step forward.

"I am willing to follow you, Master!"

Then comes Kuchirai.

He was one of the few samurai with a certain level of swordsmanship who chose to use a black sword instead of a black spear.

As the only daughter of Yomogawa Kensho, Yomogawa Ayame is his personal samurai and childhood friend, and he also carries a Vulcan spear on his back.

"I am also willing to go out of the city to fight."

Two men took the lead, and many other warriors followed suit.

They heard that the samurai from Yatsushiro Station often accompanied this mage on hunts outside the city for Kabane, and there had never been any casualties.

If they don't stand up now, does that mean the warriors of Mingjin Station are inferior to those of Yatsushiro Station?

The spirit of the samurai reigns supreme! Then let's just take our own lives!

……

Soon, twenty warriors, leading Xia Zhi, arrived at the city gate of Xianjin Post Station, pushing ten carts.

Clang clang clang clang!

As the thick iron chains were lowered, the sound of the drawbridge hitting the ground immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding Kabane.

The warriors nervously raised their black spears and steam guns—the black spears were only just beginning to be mass-produced and were few in number—and aimed them at the Kabane.

But before they could fire, Xia Zhi shouted sharply.

"Draw the sheath!"

The crimson sword, like a dragon emerging from the sea, flew out from his dantian.

If the magical power of the Foundation Establishment stage is like a spring and a stream, then the magical power of the Golden Core stage is like a reservoir connecting a river!

The mana output of a Golden Core cultivator can differ by ten times from that of a Mana Spring!

Under Xia Zhi's control, the flying sword, traveling at a speed exceeding 200 meters per second, harvested the Kabane like a scythe reaping wheat.

Ordinary people couldn't see the sword shadows at all; they could only see sparks flashing continuously from the heart area of ​​the Kabane, and then they would fall down one after another.

In just a few breaths, the dozen or so Kabane that had gathered at the suspension bridge were cleared away.

Xia Zhi, controlling the Crimson Light Sword, continued to charge forward, and more Kabane began to fall in her field of vision.

"Is this the power of the Mage?"

The warriors instinctively looked at Xia Zhi, who was making a sword gesture with his hands, and their expressions were all stunned!

No wonder the patriarch spoke so highly of this monk after returning from the Eighth Generations Inn!

Is this too strong? !

Among the samurai, only Kuchiki Kurusu, besides being shocked, also felt a sense of resentment.

Under Xia Zhi's orders, they loaded the Kabane bodies onto carts and then followed behind Xia Zhi to collect the Kabane bodies further away.

This was nothing like the battle he had imagined!

They came to fight the Kabane, not to be porters!

However, the opportunity arrived in the blink of an eye.

After most of the Kabane around had been cleared out, Xia Zhi deliberately left one Kabane behind.

He smiled at the samurai.

"There's a lone Kabane out there, who's willing to go and hunt him down?"

"I come!"

Nine wisdoms come to the place and take the lead!

He drew the black knife from his waist, gripped the hilt wrapped in strips of cloth with both hands, and charged towards the Kabane.

"Woo!"

Seeing a human running towards it, the Kabane bared its rotten teeth, roared, and stretched out its hands to meet the human.

As a result, Kuchirai slowed down as he approached Kabane, consciously gathering his strength.

He first sliced ​​off the Kabane's outstretched arm with a backhand slash, then gripped the blade with both hands and thrust it into the Kabane's heart with lightning speed.

Slurp slurp slurp!

Sparks fly!

A meter-long black blade pierced through the Kabane's heart, with more than an inch of the blade protruding from behind the Kabane.

Kujirasu kicked the Kabane to the ground and drew his black sword.

clap clap.

Seeing Jiuzhilaixi's performance, Xia Zhi reached out and clapped.

The other samurai also began to clap, and the applause resounded.

"good."
