【Exorcism Sword Technique: Xiao Cheng]
(Martial Arts Proficiency: Beginner, Beginner, Xiao Cheng, Dacheng, Perfect)
Outside the western suburbs road, Chu Li was leaning against a big tree wearing a bamboo hat, looking at the system prompts with a speechless face.
"System, I followed the mission prompts and killed two tribulations. You actually gave me so many rewards?"
"Those two robbers are at the middle stage of Qi-entraining realm at most. Are you afraid that you cheated on me?"
【？？？】
Chu Li's words shocked the system for a whole year.
After working on the system for so many years, it has only seen people complaining about slow upgrades, but has never seen anyone complaining about being upgraded too fast!
【No, can't you see that I upgraded?】
【Peerless Martial God System, do you understand the value of the peerless prefix? If you don’t advance quickly, am I still in the peerless Martial God system? 】
The system is very angry and feels insulted.
【Besides, what's cheating? Where's the cheating? This is just a technical adjustment!】
【If a sword god can emerge in Shilipo, why can’t he level up by killing robbers?】
"Ah, yes, yes!"
"Thank you System Brother for taking care of me!"
Seeing that the system was serious, Chu Li hurriedly thanked him. He knew that the system was doing this for his own good.
Normally, without the support of items such as heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it would take at least a year to break through to the mid-term Houtian realm, and he would only have five years to live. , how can we do this?
As for the improvement of martial arts, it is even more difficult in this world. It often takes several years of hard training to advance to the first level, but correspondingly, the improvement of martial arts has an intuitive impact on combat effectiveness..
For example, Chu Li's demon-repelling sword technique is a basic martial art passed down by the ancestors of the Chu family. It can only be practiced to the innate realm. It is generally used to lay the foundation for the children of the family. Everyone in the Chu family can learn it, but it is not as powerful. Not much.
But once he reached the level of Xiao Cheng, something was different.
He reached out and brushed the sword, and Chu Li felt an inexplicable agitation in his body, which seemed to be spreading around the sword. A weapon that can split mountains and rocks with a single strike can only be done by a Xiantian realm warrior.
He has never heard of such an effect after practicing the demon-repelling sword technique to a small degree, and compared with the Xiantian realm warriors, this kind of demon-repelling sword technique has such an effect. The magic sword technique has a faint sense of awe-inspiring righteousness
"The things passed down by our ancestors are indeed extraordinary."
"It's just that my body, ahem, I don't know if it can fully utilize it."
After saying this, Chu Li coughed twice and looked at the sunset that was about to disappear completely on the horizon.
Before it was completely dark, Chu Li took a rest. Of course, it was not because he didn't want to leave, but because he couldn't walk anymore.
Although there were only two Although he was a gangster in the Qi-inducing realm, he had used force after all. He could still hold on when he was talking to the people and asking for directions. As soon as the power of Qi and blood passed, Chu Li's vision immediately went dark again and he almost fell down on the road.
【Alas, your body is still too weak. The power of Qi and blood can only burst out, but not for a long time.]
The system let out a sigh.
【That’s why I want to promote you as soon as possible. The tasks you have to face next are not easy to complete.]
Hearing what the system said, Chu Li couldn’t help but look at the taskbar.
【Ding】
【You got a new mission】
【Poplar Inn】
【There have been rumors of monster activities in Baiyangdian outside the imperial capital recently. People often disappear without a reason when passing by this place. The relatives of the missing have come to look for them but to no avail. The government investigation has also made no progress. But at the same time, the Baiyang Inn next to the official road is becoming more and more prosperous.
The owner has launched a steamed bun called Meirenxiang. There are many diners coming and going every day, but you seem to have noticed something unusual.......】
【Please investigate the truth about the Poplar Inn】
【Mission Level: Two Stars]
Looking at this mission, Chu Li remained silent.
In fact, he knew the truth about Baiyang Inn.
The owner, chef, and waiter of Baiyang Inn are disguised as a group of pig demons who specialize in killing passers-by on the official road.
In the past, due to the small number of kills, it has not attracted attention, but recently, the pig demon headed by it broke through to the acquired world, and its appetite increased greatly, and the clues gradually emerged.
The steamed stuffed bun called Meirenxiang is made from leftover human remains soaked in wine. Because it contains enough meat, it has become famous far and wide.
In the novel, the pig demon will remain free for a while, and it will not be until the middle stage of the Houtian realm that it is attacked by the demon-slaying team sent by Shengwu Academy.
But this time, it won't be so lucky
"When it reaches the middle stage of the Houtian realm, I don’t know how many more innocent people will be killed. The people of Daxia have already suffered enough......."
Chu Li, who was muttering to himself, held his sword and looked at the moon in the sky, with a feeling of compassion flowing in his heart.
After a few hours, walking through various places inside and outside the imperial capital, the excitement when leaving the Chu family had completely dissipated, replaced by all kinds of unsightly things.
It happens to be a time of trouble, when demons and monsters appear, human lives are like straw, and injustices happen everywhere.
In front of the Demon Slaying Department, the villagers who had all their relatives and friends slaughtered by the demon knelt down and cried loudly, crying blood and begging the court to send troops to quell the demon.
Outside the Martial Arts Temple, drums were beating. The people who had been oppressed and tortured by lawless warriors beat the drums to express their grievances and kowtow to beg the Martial Arts Temple for justice.
The world is so chaotic that if Chu Li had not been with him, a group of villagers entering the imperial capital would have been robbed and killed. It was so chaotic that passers-by walking on the official road would be tricked by demons into taking them to an inn and chopped into meat paste.
When some people encounter suffering, they hate the world and hope that everyone will die.
But when some people encounter suffering, they think that no one in the world will suffer anymore.
And Chu Li is the latter type of person
"I can only live for five years, so I don’t have much time, so I’ll start early."
【Um? Don't you want to take a break? 】
Hearing Chu Li's soliloquy, the system couldn't help but express concern.
He almost coughed up blood before, and now he was about to start a fight after resting for less than an hour?
But when he heard the words, the young man raised his head, smiled handsomely, and looked at the sky.
At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, blocking the moonlight. The east wind continued, and the swaying branches revealed a chilling atmosphere.
"Tonight the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is the time to slay demons"
"Looking forward and backward, when will we wait?"
"No wait, let's go"
【Okay, then let’s take these pigs by surprise!】
"Haha, that's exactly what I meant."
Laughing and raising his sword, Chu Li jumped off the tree trunk and gradually walked away.
At the same time, in Baiyangdian at this time, outside the Baiyang Inn with lanterns hung, a group of people was ambushing.
There were about ten of them. People, but most of them are warriors in the Qi-entraining realm. The leader is a girl with a skin as smooth as gelatin and a heavenly fragrance, but she is wearing the clothes of a warrior.
"Miss, let’s leave quickly. How can these dozen of people kill demons?"
"What are you afraid of? I have already found out that there are only three Qi-inducing monsters in this inn. Kill them and return to the academy to add ten"
"Ten points. Miss, you are not short of points, right?"
"There is no shortage, but it may not be enough in a few days."
Looking at the maid who kept admonishing, the girl named Nangong Shi shook her head and said:
"I heard that the young master of the Chu family will enter the academy in the near future. He will definitely compete for the ranking. Now with ten more points, this girl can definitely dominate him!"
"But......"
The maid next to her wanted to say more, but was stopped by Nangong Shi. She waved her hand confidently.
"It doesn't matter, it's just three Qi-entraining realms"
"Tonight, I must kill this monster!"
