Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Hunger is a thing that can drive people mad.

In the past, in the Six Paths of the Buddhist family, there was the Evil Ghost Dao, weak and ugly, instilling fear in all who see it, tormented by hunger.

This Locust Demon is another kind of evil hunger, without any reason, just the purest hunger, as if it wants to devour everything in the world.

A few National Guardian True Men had a trace of blood in their eyes. Although the Locust Demon's clone is far less powerful than its true form, it still slightly affected the Celestial Tribulation Realm True Man.

On the altar, the "Divine Court Bell" hovered overhead, emitting a faint golden light for protection, thus Zhang Kui felt nothing at all.

He frowned and glanced at others, changing the spell in his hand and continuously using several Crisis Resolution Skills.

This feeling of hunger immediately vanished, and several people nodded at Zhang Kui. Although it didn't affect their combat power, this long-unfelt sensation was uncomfortable.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire burned more fiercely, its divine light rushing up to the sky, where the black swirling sky blazed with blood light, strange and splendid, like an Otherworld Demon Realm.

Mountain people of Tong City have probably never witnessed such a terrifying scene in their lifetime, and those legendary tales of gods and demons heard under trees after meals or in teahouses surfaced in their minds.

Some were pale, some stared blankly, and some were already driven insane, lying on the ground and screaming wildly.

"Citizens of Tong City!"

Captain Yuan Kong jumped onto the city wall, with a grim expression, veins bulging on his forehead, shouting with all his mana:

"Though we are weak, this concerns the rise and fall of humanity, and no one can escape it. Be calm, pray sincerely, add a bit more strength, and there's a bit more hope!"

Many came to their senses, helping each other and looking at the statue of the Divine Court Bell with even more frenzy.

The golden light from the Divine Court Bell grew stronger. Zhang Kui initially looked surprised, then a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

Though he had done much, he believed in one principle: If a person, a nation, a people are unwilling to save themselves, even immortals and Buddhas can do nothing.

Time passed continuously, and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, like an abyss, gradually drew from the black insect sea in the sky through the locust whirlwind.

The white ash from the burning locusts continuously fell, surprisingly turning the entire Jun Mountain white.

Gradually, the insect sea became smaller, and the sky began to brighten.

The people of Tong City below, unaware of the reasons, burst into joy. Some could not resist dancing, and some prayed more fervently.

But the people on the mountain grew more solemn.

The "Disaster Qi" had long gathered into a mass, growing larger, and the crazy hunger consciousness rose continuously.

When the last swarm of locusts was burned out, Zhang Kui stared wide-eyed, revealing a murderous intent.

"Everyone be careful, it's coming out!"

Just as the words fell, the mass of Disaster Qi dispersed with a bang, and a giant locust jumped out, though not as large as the complete Locust Demon, it was as tall as a building, its bloody eyes terrifying, with intense malice.

Without any hesitation, this Locust Demon clone opened its fierce jaws, suddenly biting towards the nearest Zhang Kui.

The new god Tai Shi's expression was solemn, stepping forward.

"Exorcism!"

Dong!

The Divine Court Bell suddenly emitted a loud sound, visible golden light enveloped the Locust Demon, as if it were doused in acid, its scale armor melted, yellow smoke rising.

Zhang Kui had long known that Exorcism was the nemesis of the Locust Demon, but he didn't expect it to cause so much harm.

The giant locust immediately howled at the sky, its giant wings trembling, emitting a shrill cry.

Everyone present felt their ears ringing.

Immediately, the Locust Demon's huge hind legs began to gather strength, opening its wings.

Zhang Kui's eyes widened like a leopard, his eye whites filled with bloodshot veins, shouting loudly: "Everyone be careful, the Locust Demon wants to escape!"

As soon as the words fell, the Locust Demon suddenly leapt upward.

However, the several National Guardian True Men had long been prepared, standing firm and driving the Five Elements Array with all their strength.

The Locust Demon, adept at flying and jumping, Zhang Kui had a deep experience in the Ji Temple Secret Realm, the Five Elements Array was designed for this purpose.

The Five Elements generate and restrain each other endlessly, the surrounding space suddenly became turbid and viscous, under Tongyou Skill, it was like being separated by countless layers of glass.

The Locust Demon, too, was like a bug stuck in glue, struggling madly while its entire body emitted smoke under the Exorcism skill's golden light.

Zhang Kui wasn't idle either, frantically using the Exorcism Skill, but after all, it was the Wish Power Divine Technique, clearly less effective than Tai Shi burning the power of incense fire and releasing it through the Divine Court Bell.

Sensing a threat, the Locust Demon struggled more frantically, several National Guardian True Men's faces flushed red, veins bulging on their foreheads, forcibly swallowing a mouthful of blood surging to their throats.

Zhang Kui's heart raced in anxiety.

No way, although it's just a clone, it's strong enough, if this continues, it might fail.

"No way to run!"

Thinking of this, he revealed a fierce light, shouting thunderously, then with a clanging sound, Lu Li Sword Light pierced through him.

A level three Flying Sword Skill certainly won't do.

Upgrade to level four.

Sword light transforms into three, then three into nine.

Exhausting all skill points, upgrade to level five.

Sword light suddenly turned into hundreds and thousands, whistling and swirling like a golden whirlpool on the mountain top, splendid beyond compare.

Boom!

The golden sword tide fell, knocking the Locust Demon to the ground, lifting a sky full of flesh and blood spray, just preparing to regenerate into Disaster Qi, it was dissolved by Exorcism's golden light.

But this was just the beginning.

Zhang Kui's face turned ferocious, his hands changed hand seals, the flying sword group first gathered into a mass, then split into two, then four, immediately connecting pieces of Geng Metal Evil Light, covering the Locust Demon above.

No doubt, a level five Flying Sword Skill with thousands of sword transformations looks formidable, but the real power is in the Sword Array.

Zhang Kui, with the same level five Array Formation Skill, had become an Array Master, showing even greater power in cooperation.

The array he was setting up now was the Four Symbols Evil Extermination Array.

The saying goes, Tai Chi gives rise to two instruments, two instruments give rise to four symbols, Lesser Yang, Old Yang, Lesser Yin, Old Yin, the four symbols are ever-changing, extremely resilient, strong in exterminating evil, stronger in trapping enemies.

On the peak of Jun Mountain, covered in white snow.

The giant Locust Demon struggled madly, but the Five Elements Array below operated endlessly, while the Four Symbols Evil Extermination Array above shot up golden light and evil qi.

The dual arrays combined, trapping the Locust Demon tightly in place, making the several National Guardian True Men much more relaxed.

The true trump card still is the Exorcism Skill.

The new god Tai Shi looked majestic, burning the power of incense fire madly, as Zhang Kui said, taking from the people, returning to all beings.

The Divine Court Bell hung high, clanging continuously, the melodious bell sound echoed far and wide, golden light radiated, growing ever more sacred.

Seeming to sense something, all the people in Lanzhou prayed in unison to the great bell.

"Sacred Artifact Divine Court, shining on all sides."

"Dispel this disaster tribulation, protect our humanity!"

The bell sound quickened, the Locust Demon continually dissolved, but even as its scales melted, riddled with holes, with only a breath left, it still screamed and struggled furiously.

"Damn it, die!"

Zhang Kui gritted his forest-white teeth, his eyes burned with golden evil light, continuously changing hand seals, the Four Symbols Evil-Slaying Sword Array in the air suddenly rose, crashing down with his large hand.

"Exterminate evil!"

As Zhang Kui moved, Tai Shi also instantly burned most of the Incense Fire Divine Power, transforming into a huge golden figure, the large hand crashing down with the Sword Array.

"Exorcism!"

Boom!

The mountain peak could no longer bear it, large mountain peaks collapsed with a crash, rocks rolled, and snow waves splashed.

The dust dispersed, looking across the fields, it was clear and bright, green mountains and clear waters.

Zhang Kui panted heavily, before him was a cliff, a faint light flickered in his eyes, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Tai Shi's spirit light dimmed, returning to the Divine Court Bell.

Elder Huayan and others were also mana-exhausted, pale-faced, tremblingly asked: "Is it dead?"

Zhang Kui turned around, panting and chuckling.

"Completely gone, Lanzhou locust plague, resolved!"

Even as National Guardian True Men, the people behind also showed joy, Imperial Uncle Li Xuanji laughed heartily, "Though it was laborious, ultimately there's hope. According to this method, the great calamity of Central State can be resolved."

Zhang Kui chuckled without speaking.

He hadn't forgotten, across the Qian Thirteen States, aside from the Three Mountains in the barren area, the Four Caves and Five Water Mansions occupied the land of the Nine States, bound to cause trouble.

Yet, looking at the over sixty points gained after eliminating the Locust Demon in his mind, Zhang Kui suddenly had a plan...
