Chapter 130: Dual forms initially appear, wind and snow kill demon night

~12 min read 2,227 words

"Brother Wei, you're back."

Wei Ming just walked into the military camp, and happened to run into Li Rui on the road; Li Rui took the initiative to greet him.

"Brother Li."

Wei Ming nodded, his face clearly showing fatigue; last night he was called up by Ning Zhongtian, led people all the way from the military camp to Paozi Ridge outside the city, trekking over mountains and through rivers, not sleeping all night.

"Did you catch that thief?"

Where in the world are there coincidences?

This is the only way for Wei Ming to go home, and Li Rui had been waiting here early.

Old age, small courage.

He always felt something was wrong.

An expert who could trade blows under Ning Zhongtian's hands actually broke into the camp so foolishly; there's a problem!

Wei Ming shook his head: "No, let that guy run away."

"Ran away?"

Li Rui didn't expect that Ning Zhongtian led a battalion of people, but still let the person run away, and asked: "Do you know the origin of that person?"

A cold light flashed in Wei Ming's eyes:

"Not a human, it's a demon, to be precise, a ghost demon."

Li Rui was shocked.

A ghost demon killing into the military camp, this is no small matter.

Wei Ming lowered his voice, that is, Li Rui; he wouldn't tell others such secrets.

"That monster's strength is only Willow Sinew, but its bones are frighteningly hard, and it didn't know pain, took several knives from Chief Ning and didn't die, and finally escaped with the help of the terrain."

"Brother Li, Master Jiang and General Cao are out on official business, I still have to write the military report about last night's incident and submit it, so I won't say more."

After saying that, Wei Ming left in a hurry.

He didn't even tell Li Rui not to talk about it or anything like that.

Because he had long known Li Rui's steady temperament, he was a person to be trusted.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly: "It chose a good time."

Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei both went to Yunzhou for official business.

Just happened to have a ghost demon break in at this time.

"Forget it, I, an old man, should just honestly stay at home."

Dark night.

Strong wind blowing.

Deep mountain ridge, under a few crooked-neck trees, a huge monster with a blue-black body was licking its wounds like a wolf cub.

"It's him, it's actually him!"

Zhang Hao, although covered in wounds, couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

Last night's probe, he had basically determined the range of the spiritual guide, and if it weren't for being discovered by Ning Zhongtian, he might have even succeeded.

At this time.

Seeing Qi Cheng's voice rang in his mind: "Act as soon as possible, must find that person!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Hao was as timid as a puppy; although Seeing Qi Cheng couldn't hear him, he still answered instinctively.

He was afraid of Seeing Qi Cheng from the bottom of his soul.

He had already informed Seeing Qi Cheng of last night's incident through a secret code.

The perception established with Seeing Qi Cheng was one-way; in fact, it could have been two-way, but Seeing Qi Cheng didn't want Zhang Hao to perceive his emotions, so he cut off the channel.

Therefore, Zhang Hao could only passively accept Seeing Qi Cheng's orders.

"Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei will be back soon, must act as soon as possible."

"I took action last night, Ning Zhongtian thought I was seriously injured; if I take action again tonight, I will surely catch him off guard."

Zhang Hao analyzed.

This is the terror of a ghost demon; the flesh is frighteningly terrifying, unless forcibly wiped out by power far exceeding itself, otherwise it is an existence close to immortality, and the recovery ability is also extremely strong.

In just one day, he recovered seven or eight out of ten.

And there is intelligence far exceeding demon beasts.

No wonder the Qi royal family was obsessed with demon-feeding and couldn't extricate themselves, and some even practiced themselves into ghost demons.

That method also had a name—Evil God Method.

The Ten Thousand Ghost Mother used the Evil God Method to forcibly practice herself into a monster that was neither human nor ghost.

"Kill!"

Zhang Hao used violent killing intent to hide his true thoughts very well.

He wants revenge!

Not just Jiang Linxian, Cao Wei, or the person who stole the spiritual guide, but also Seeing Qi Cheng.

As long as he keeps getting stronger and devours Seeing Qi Cheng, the master.

He can gain freedom.

Achieve the supreme Evil God Method, just like the Ten Thousand Ghost Mother, no longer controlled by others.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The next evening, snowflakes drifted in the sky.

New Year had just passed, and it actually snowed again.

Yang Yong set up a fire basin in every room.

Li Rui sat by the fire basin, half of his body illuminated red, warm.

There is a word, "suddenly warm and then cold."

That's what this situation is; at the end of winter and beginning of spring, there will be a sudden snow.

Lived in Qinghe for decades.

Long ago became accustomed to it, and even the fire basin was prepared by him asking Yang Yong in advance.

At this time.

The sound of the night watchman rang outside the house.

"Dry weather, watch out for fire!"

Perhaps because of the cold, the voice trembled a little.

First watch.

In the military camp.

It snowed, but there were many more people patrolling than usual.

Torches illuminated most of the military camp.

The patrolling soldiers cursed, but they still had to do the work; it was hard to get a position in the Anning Guard, so they couldn't easily smash their rice bowl.

In the shadows not illuminated by the torchlight.

A figure only three chi tall flew nimbly left and right under the walls of houses.

The movement was fast, like a black light.

"Almost there."

Cold light flickered in Zhang Hao's eyes, looking like a different person from before.

This is one of the abilities of a ghost demon.

Can change the original figure to achieve the effect of deceiving people; if he exposed his original figure, it would be at least two zhang, too conspicuous.

Now it's just right.

Zhang Hao's speed was fast, and in a short while, he dodged the patrolling soldiers and arrived at the core area of the military camp.

Joy in his heart.

"Sure enough, no one noticed."

Being discovered by Ning Zhongtian last night was purely bad luck; who could have thought Ning Zhongtian would sneak out to visit a brothel and happened to return at the fourth watch.

People can't have bad luck for two consecutive days, and neither can demons. Zhang Hao thought in his heart.

When he arrived at a residence.

Zhang Hao felt the familiar aura of the spiritual guide, his eyes lit up, it's here!

He jumped easily.

And deceived the patrolling soldiers, flipped over the wall into the courtyard, almost without any movement. "It's there!"

Excitement appeared on Zhang Hao's ugly face.

His gaze locked onto a room illuminated red by firelight.

"Wait."

Zhang Hao didn't act directly.

Although he became a ghost demon, his intelligence was still there, so he naturally knew the person in the room hadn't slept yet; acting now would easily startle the snake, and if the movement was too big and attracted a strong expert at the Garrison Commander level, he might not be able to walk out of the Anning Guard.

The wind and snow grew stronger.

The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the military camp was shrouded in deep darkness.

Vaguely heard the sound of the night watchman:

"Safe and sound!"

Third watch...

"Time is up."

=9+Book_Bar

Zhang Hao, who was lying in the snow pile and merged with the accumulated snow, endured the freezing for three hours, but he didn't feel cold at all.

The snow covering his body fell with a rustling sound.

Perfectly covered in the whistling wind.

"Kill!"

Zhang Hao's eyes turned red.

As time passed second by second, Zhang Hao gradually lost patience, and the killing nature of the demon beast slowly took the upper hand, but he still retained the last bit of human calmness.

The firelight in the room had long gone out.

The person in the room had also fallen into a deep sleep.

He had sharp claws on his ten fingers, reached in from the window gap, and silently opened the wooden latch on the window.

The wind and snow outside didn't even have time to pour into the room.

Zhang Hao jumped into the room one step ahead.

Turned into a black light, killing straight towards the bed.

But just as he was about to reach the bedside—

An old voice suddenly rang out behind him:

"Child, you are attached."

Only heard the sound of mechanical gears turning.

Zhang Hao didn't even have time to turn his head.

The stone bricks under his feet actually disappeared, almost at the same time, a strong wind struck, patted towards the top of his head, and the whole person was smashed into the secret passage.

"Mechanism!"

Zhang Hao's body was pressed by someone and rolled in the secret passage, cursing in his heart.

"Damn, calculated by someone!"

In a short while.

Only heard a thud.

The two fell into a piece of darkness.

Zhang Hao struggled to get up, suddenly a strong wind struck, and a long knife slashed onto his right shoulder.

"It's you!"

Demon beasts can also see in the dark; he saw the appearance of the person who took action.

"Li Rui!"

Zhang Hao had met Li Rui once.

And even had the heart to kill him.

But he never thought that the person who obtained the immortal treasure spiritual guide was Li Rui.

A seventy-year-old man about to enter the soil.

What made him even more unexpected was that the power of Li Rui's knife just now clearly had long entered Willow Sinew.

"This old man hides so deep!"

Zhang Hao's ugly face instantly became incomparably ferocious.

"Go to hell!"

He prepared to rush forward in a rage.

But just as his ten sharp claws wanted to tear the little old man in front of him to pieces—

Li Rui's face was calm.

Xuan Qing Qi wandered through his whole body in an instant, a full-strength knife after entering the seventh rank!

Zhang Hao's pupils shrank sharply.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear the sound of dragon and phoenix chirping, as if he were in the immortal court.

"Gather Qi into form!"

He stared at Li Rui in disbelief.

During his lifetime, he was originally an expert in the Willow Sinew Realm, so he naturally knew very well that gathering Qi into form is something only experts in the Willow Sinew mid-stage can do.

And...

"Damn, why can this little old man condense a dragon form?!"

Dragon form, this is almost the exclusive property of geniuses.

Let alone Qinghe, the entire Anning Prefecture probably only has one or two people who can do it, and there seems to be something hidden in the dragon form.

Dual forms!

Zhang Hao's mind recalled the effect of the spiritual guide, which was precisely to help people open dual forms.

How can there be such a heaven-defying person in the world, and this person is actually Li Rui, this old man!

"Damn, damn, damn!"

Zhang Hao had no time to be shocked.

Because the knife carrying the dragon roar was only half an inch away from his head.

A long whistle.

"Ah!"

The blade flashed with a pale green light, as if sliding across the surface of a lake, splitting Zhang Hao's body into two from the top of his head to his crotch.

Li Rui looked coldly at the corpse on the ground.

Walked to the cave wall, lit a candle.

Although because of Xuan Qing Qi, he could sense the existence of others in the dark, but if he wanted to see the face clearly, he still needed the help of firelight.

Firelight rose.

What came into view was an underground space of about one zhang in radius.

This was a secret room he had prepared early on when he moved into the Anning Guard, just in case, never thought it would come in handy so soon.

The monster was slashed into two by him.

The immortal dragon dual forms exerted force at the same time, the power was even more domineering than he expected.

"Ghost demon?"

Li Rui frowned, he recalled what the monster said just now.

Clearly it was heading straight for him.

He stared at the monster's ugly face for a long time, suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Zhang Hao!"

Although the monster's face was twisted beyond recognition, one could still vaguely see Zhang Hao's appearance.

"Zhang Hao was actually refined into a ghost demon?!"

Li Rui gasped.

Clearly, the person behind that night's demon chaos was the Guiming Sect demon-feeder who refined Zhang Hao into a ghost demon.

"What do I have on me that can attract things from the Guiming Sect?"

Soon.

His heart sank.

"Immortal treasure..."
