Volume 8: Demon Suppression Chapter 88 The So-Called Rules
hiss--
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but take a breath, and the temperature around him became hot along with his heart.
He knew that the demon suppressor must be extremely powerful.
But after actually learning about its properties, he was still shocked.
Compared with Longque, Wangchuan and Taohua, Zhenmo has the least active skills.
It has three magical powers in total, two and a half of which are passive skills, and only half of them are active skills.
However, every passive ability of Zhenmo is worthy of its name as the clan's magic weapon.
The magical power to break the devil is rough and direct.
It doesn't have too many fancy things, it is simply a 100% increase in damage to demons.
Damage increase is the simplest attribute, but also the most practical attribute, not to mention that it doubles the damage.
This is an incredibly terrifying number.
You should know that Xia Daoyun's legendary talent [One Sword of Frost] is just this value.
Of course, Xia Daoyun's [One Sword of Frost] has no restrictions and is even more powerful.
No wonder the Demon Lord Mangcang was regarded as one of the strongest forces in the Abyss Realm at that time, sweeping across the eight wildernesses and six directions and conquering the Burning Moon Region.
Not only has his own realm reached that of a semi-saint, but he also possesses such a magical weapon, so it is not surprising that he is invincible.
Qinggang Magical Power, although the description seems extremely complicated, but if translated into the game language, there is a term that can accurately summarize its attributes - true damage!
Compulsory damage that cannot be exempted by any magical power.
There is a saying that everyone is equal in the face of real harm.
This is the rarest attribute in the game because it is so powerful.
With his current level of cultivation, even if the Demon Lord stood in front of him, he could not move him at all no matter how hard he attacked.
This was due to the huge gap in strength, which made it impossible for him to break through the defense.
In particular, the demon cultivators also cultivate the divine and demonic bodies, and their physical bodies are extremely powerful.
But with the Demon Suppression Technique, relying on the Green Steel Magical Power, theoretically speaking, he can even kill any enemy.
Even the Demon Lord is no exception.
As for the last six directions and eight wastelands magical power, it reminded Lu Qingshan of a very distinctive character in an ancient game in his previous life...
Anti-Mage.
The human race cultivates spiritual energy, while the demons cultivate demonic energy.
Zhenmo's magical power of sweeping across the world can activate the sword fangs to devour the demonic energy, in other words, it is "stealing blue".
As for traveling across the eight wildernesses, that is easier to understand.
"Steal your blue, and then beat you with your blue."
…
Lu Qingshan withdrew his gaze from the panel, excitedly waved his hand to suppress the demon, and said silently in his heart: "With the help of Liuhe Bahuang, I can solve Yitian's problem..."
He took a closer look at Zhenmo.
The sword energy and whirlwind have dissipated, revealing its true form.
The dark purple jade light moved all over the dark sword.
The sword's spine is like a dragon, implying earth-shaking power.
Holding the sword in his hand, Lu Qingshan could feel the emotions coming from the sword.
This is the unique link between the sword master and his natal sword.
He let these emotions sink in.
The sword also has a soul.
He was worried that Zhenmo had developed an evil character during his time as a magic sword.
After all, it is easier to learn bad things than to learn good things.
Lu Qingshan released his mind, connected with the demon, and observed its spirit.
Soon, the demon-suppressing emotional fluctuations could be clearly felt on the sword.
irritable……
Well, that's expected.
Having followed Demon Lord Mangcang in battles for thousands of years, Demon Lord Mangcang is a ruthless man who kills demons and monsters when he encounters them, and even splits mountains in half when he encounters them. How could his sword not be violent?
Besides, the sword is a weapon of killing, and violence is the most common quality of a sword, which can better enable the sword to perform its killing function.
As for Longque's gentleness, Wangchuan's immaturity, and Taohua's idleness...
Anyway, Longque is because of Qin Yitian's nature, and Wangchuan is because Gu Yiyi has some problems herself.
Peach Blossom is totally inexplicable, somehow the style of painting went astray...
Abandoning all distracting thoughts, Lu Qingshan thought about something and continued to feel.
The next emotion that came out was...well, still irritability.
...Okay, the Demon-Suppressing Sword has attack but no defense, it is unparalleled in the world, and is the ultimate killing weapon. It is a bit more violent than other swords, but there is nothing wrong with that.
Double the rage, double the joy.
Lu Qingshan comforted himself.
However, he already had a bad feeling in his heart.
continue.
Let me see what else you have.
Lu Qingshan calmed down again, and his emotions fluctuated again on the sword.
……irritable!
The third wave of irritability came uninvited.
Little brother, are you so loyal?
Something seemed to be wrong when Lu Qingshan looked at Zhenmo.
Originally you seemed to be as agile as a dragon and looked quite impressive, but now, why do you seem a little silly?
He inexplicably felt a sense of disappointment in his heart.
It’s like you finally caught up with the goddess of your dreams, but found out that in private, not only does she not look like a goddess at all, but she is actually a fool.
Finally, Zhenmo seemed to realize that if this first impression was too bad, it would be a bit bad.
So, it carefully conveyed its last emotion to Lu Qingshan.
A different kind of spirituality from the previous ones, which it considers to be its most impressive.
enthusiasm.
Lu Qingshan pursed his lips, not knowing how to talk to it.
Enthusiasm alone is indeed a good thing.
But the problem is, you paired it with three portions of irritability...
It's like scrambled eggs with watermelon, is this edible?
“Buzz!”
The irritable Zhenmo felt that Lu Qingshan was hesitant to speak, and he could no longer bear it, so he swung his sword to show that he was very angry.
"What do you mean, you're just keeping silent, do you look down on me?"
I just wanted to ask, where does this Sichuan flavor come from...
Forget it, the receipt has already been confirmed, there is no point in thinking more.
Lu Qingshan chose to compromise with his hot-tempered younger brother.
"No, I am very satisfied."
…
…
Outside the Sword Controlling Platform, the demon cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment.
If they were not mistaken, the magic sword slipped into Qingge's hands by itself.
Does this mean that Qingge has been recognized by the Demon Sword?
That should be it, right?
"Have you gained the recognition of the Demon Sword?" Demon Lord Shi Wu looked at Lu Qingshan deeply and asked for confirmation.
Lu Qingshan gripped the hilt of the sword, calmed himself, and then replied: "Probably."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the Sword Control Platform.
a bolt from the blue.
The demon cultivators present felt that they had endured too much shock today and had gradually become numb.
From Qing Ge's shock when he comprehended a battle stele to his shock when he activated two battle stele, it was as shocking as recorded in history.
Then to the thrill of him breaking the record, and all the way to the shock of Qingge triggering changes in all the battle monuments...
Yes, still shocked.
Logically speaking, this emotion should be progressive.
This is indeed the case.
The problem is that they are so shocked that they are at a loss for words and can’t think of any deeper adjectives, so they can only return to the starting point.
But this "shock" is different from the initial shock. This is the second level of shock.
It's like running laps. You start from the same starting point, but you are in the first lap while he is in the second lap.
Just when they believed that their shock threshold had reached the level of "not being happy with things, not being sad with oneself" after this incident.
——They have entered the Sage Time, not a drop of energy is left, their emotions have completely softened, and absolutely nothing can alarm them anymore.
Then, Qingge proved it.
No, you can still be tough, you underestimate yourselves.
Their eyes showed shock, and they didn't know what to say, so they just exclaimed subconsciously.
"It's true that heroes emerge from youth!" While they were momentarily shocked and speechless, Demon Lord Zhonghe took a deep breath, smiled, and spoke fluently.
One can’t help but sigh, the Demon Lord is still the Demon Lord, and he is indeed calm enough.
" He has fully understood the Mangcang combat tactics, gained the recognition of the Demon Sword, and created two miracles in a row. It's incredible!" He praised without reservation.
Demon Lord Shi Wu remained silent, his eyelids twitched. He did not object to what Demon Lord Zhong He said, but no one knew what he was thinking.
After praising Lu Qingshan, Demon Lord Zhonghe looked around and suddenly shouted, "The ancestor worship ceremony has ended. All irrelevant people must leave immediately and are not allowed to stay any longer. The Jianluo Army must cooperate in clearing the area!"
"Yes!" The Jian Luojun demon cultivator on the field responded quickly.
A man wearing silver-gray armor and with an extremely majestic body appeared.
He is the commander-in-chief of the Jianluo Army.
He exuded an aura as heavy as a mountain. He looked around and said in a powerful voice, "Please leave the Sword Control Platform as soon as possible!"
The faces of the demon cultivators from the various royal palaces present all changed. They realized the complexity of the situation and took the initiative to retreat outside with great foresight.
In the crowd, Ying Mingyue couldn't help but take another look at Lu Qingshan, but in the end she could only follow the crowd and leave.
Ying Jie and Demon Lord Honglie stood there, not knowing what they were thinking, especially Ying Jie, whose expression kept changing.
Demon Lord Shi Wu glanced at them and suddenly said, "You two should leave too."
Upon hearing this, both of them trembled all over, feeling somewhat unwilling, but ultimately they did not dare to disobey the order of Demon Lord Shi Wu, so they could only bow and say goodbye.
But before turning around and leaving, Ying Jie gave a meaningful look to Lu Qingshan who was holding the sword. There was not much hatred in his look, but something that was difficult to understand.
…
Soon, the originally lively scene became cold.
Many demon cultivators retreated, leaving only the three demon lords representing Chi Zun, Zhan Zun, and Ming Zun who came to preside over the ancestor worship ceremony, as well as the Demon Lord Shi Wu who arrived later.
Only the Demon Lord is qualified to stay here.
At this time, Demon Lord Zhonghe stepped forward and said to Lu Qingshan gently: "You have to stay here for the time being. This matter is a bit special..."
Lu Qingshan glanced at the Demon-Suppressing Sword in his hand, sighed, and understood.
The Demon-Suppressing Sword is different from other swords. It is the supreme sacred object of the Soldier Demon Clan and the forbidden delicacy of the Sword Luo King bloodline.
Therefore, this sword does not belong to him just because he holds it in his hand.
Still the same metaphor.
Even if you catch up with a beautiful, rich and white "goddess", get engaged to her, and even try to be on top of her, it does not mean that you can marry her.
She also needs to get her father's consent before it can be considered successful.
This is a huge event. Drawing the sword is just a prelude. What happens next is the key and the difficulty.
Lu Qingshan knew this very well.
Seeing that Qing Ge did not respond, Demon Lord Zhonghe pointed out meaningfully: "Someone will speak for you, so you should relax a little."
Lu Qingshan's heart moved. He glanced at Demon Lord Zhonghe, then glanced at Demon Lord Shiwu, and immediately understood the meaning of his words.
"You have mastered the Mangcang fighting method. Your talent is unparalleled in the world."
At this time, Demon Lord Shi Wu said in a deep voice: "If your bloodline had not restricted your growth, you would have already become famous in Burning Moon. But don't worry, you have such a talent, and you are my chosen son-in-law. From now on, my Shi Wu lineage will spare no effort to help you solve the bloodline problem."
"When Yingjie comprehends one battle stele, he will be able to obtain an exclusive share when the blood crystals are distributed. This is naturally even more true when you comprehend six battle stele."
Demon Lord Zhonghe smiled and continued, "With such talent, your bloodline should never become a shackle for you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Demon Lord Zhonghe," Lu Qingshan thanked Demon Lord Zhonghe first, then looked at Demon Lord Shiwu and said calmly, "But I'm afraid someone won't give me a chance to grow. After all, I'm quite hated for some reason, and I was attacked in the royal city not long ago. If it weren't for my good luck, I would have died on the spot, let alone today ."
He was a "villain who had achieved success" and took advantage of the situation to directly attack the Demon Lord who killed Wu.
Demon Lord Zhonghe laughed in silence and looked at Demon Lord Shi Wu with a strange look.
He was aware of all the twists and turns in this matter and wanted to see how Demon Lord Shi Wu was going to deal with it.
"Ying Jie dared to attack his own family in the royal city, which is against human ethics. It is my fault for failing to discipline you. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation afterwards." Demon Lord Shi Wu said in a deep voice.
After these words were spoken, Demon Lord Zhonghe couldn't help but praise inwardly.
Shi Wu was really decisive. Faced with the sarcasm of the younger generation, he took advantage of the situation to squeeze them. He neither got angry nor beat around the bush. He just made a direct guarantee.
At the same time, he implicitly emphasized the term "our family" in his words, but without being annoying.
Can't fault it.
Lu Qingshan was also secretly shocked. He frowned and was silent for a while before saying, "Since the Demon Sword has recognized me, it should be my sword."
The Wu Shi Demon Clan nodded, "Of course. I will do my utmost to help you keep this magic sword that should have belonged to you."
"I am not from the Ying family."
"You are Mingyue's future husband, and you are from our lineage of Shi Wu."
"The title of son-in-law is not nice."
"There will be no more talk of a son-in-law. You are my beloved son-in-law."
"I'm only rank six."
"You are so talented. You have the resources of my Shi Wu lineage, as well as your father, Xi Ren. After this, he will definitely train you vigorously. It is only a matter of time before you become a demon lord."
The two of them went back and forth, as if asking and answering questions quickly.
"Demon Lord Honglie has always had a rift with Mingyue, and there are many conflicts between them. He suppresses him everywhere."
"I will warn and punish him, and at the same time improve the treatment of Mingyue Mansion. In addition to the Blood God Sand Mine, the Red Eye Gold Mine, the Black Stream Silver Mine... and the other 17 veins that originally belonged to Honglie will also be transferred to Mingyue Mansion. The transfer procedures will be completed directly today, and there will be no delay or lip service."
"Mingyue is also mixed blood."
"I will send Mingyue a batch of blood crystals later, enough for her to upgrade her bloodline to pure blood." Demon Lord Shi Wu answered without hesitation.
Although he was constantly cutting his losses and agreeing to various conditions, his mood was getting better and better.
Because Lu Qingshan was seeking benefits for Ying Mingyue.
This just shows that he is not ready to give up the ties with their Wu-killing clan, otherwise why would he have done so much.
Young people are full of vigor and love sex. The land of pleasure is truly the grave of heroes!
The Demon Lord Shi Wu sighed deeply.
On this side, Lu Qingshan nodded with satisfaction.
Ying Mingyue, I have now repaid you for saving my life.
He said to himself.
Favors must be repaid, and hatred must be avenged; this is one of the creeds of sword practitioners.
Even though Ying Mingyue is a demon, the fact that she saved his life in Senluo Tower is undeniable.
So he acknowledged this favor.
Seeing that Lu Qingshan was silent for a while, Wu Shi Mo Zun spoke again: "What else do you want?"
"I'll give you whatever you want!" he said affirmatively without any hesitation.
As expected, he is the Demon Lord.
Lu Qingshan sighed.
How many people can compare with this kind of magnanimity in putting personal preferences aside?
"I will marry Ying Mingyue as scheduled." he said.
Both of them are smart people. Some things are not said explicitly, but they understand what they mean.
Wu Shi Mo Zun was finally satisfied and said, "Let's just wait for the decision from above. But this is the rule. Even if there are some twists and turns, the result will always be good."
"I hope so." Lu Qingshan said, his eyes flickering.
He actually doesn't have that much tolerance.
However, now he still needs to borrow the power of Demon Lord Shi Wu and Chi Zun's faction to keep the magic sword for himself, so he has temporarily reconciled with Demon Lord Shi Wu.
It's just a delaying tactic.
It's a very simple truth.
But for some reason, in some TV dramas in my previous life, the good guys just didn’t understand this truth.
When faced with the villain's proposal to "abandon the dark and join the light", their brains are like diodes. They don't know how to put on a show for the time being, but always refuse with righteous words, and then die...
Such a stupid camp of good guys was able to win in the end. I really don’t know who should be blamed for being brainless.
Lu Qingshan used complaints to keep himself in a light-hearted mood and not feel too heavy.
…
Royal Court.
A towering palace is shrouded in chaotic mist all year round, shrouded in deep clouds and fog.
The True Palace is where the three great demon lords of the Jianluo royal bloodline hold meetings.
Inside the huge palace, there is a grand hall.
There are three Taoist platforms in the main hall.
At this time, a figure appeared on each of the three platforms.
The figure on the far left has flying black hair and intimidating pupils, and his expression shows no emotion.
He is the Lord of Life.
The figure in the middle was extremely powerful, as if standing in the abyss, emitting terrible pressure from his body, and his eyes were as sharp as lightning.
He is the most powerful fighter in the Burning Moon Territory today, the War Lord.
As for the figure on the far right, it was Chi Zun.
The three great demon lords gathered together, which is a very rare situation.
"You have all received the news, right?" Ming Zun spoke first.
The other two lowered their eyes slightly, "Yeah."
"What do you think about Qingge holding the sword?" Mingzun asked.
"The magic sword is extremely powerful. It is the sacred weapon of our Bingmo clan and a supreme sacred object."
Since the death of Saint Ancestor Mangcang, no one has been able to gain the recognition of the Demon Sword. Qingge is the first.
But I don't agree to let such a lowly person control the Supreme Demon Sword." Zhan Zun said, his voice rumbling like thunder and fire.
"I suggest taking the magic sword back from his hands!"
"Indeed, Qing Ge is not a member of our royal family. He comes from the Senluo King Realm. It is such a waste to help him in this way. It shouldn't be done like this." said Ming Zun.
The two of them agreed not to let Qingge hold the sword.
The magic sword is not only a divine weapon with infinite power, but also a symbol of their soldier-demon clan. It is extremely noble. In Lu Qingshan's previous life, its significance was comparable to that of the Qin King's Sword.
Let a bumpkin from the "countryside" hold the sword?
They couldn't accept it.
Chi Zun pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "You can't say that. Although Qing Ge is from the Senluo King Realm, he is still a member of our Bingmo clan. He is qualified to hold the clan's sacred weapon."
"He's just a mixed-blood." Zhan Zun reminded expressionlessly.
Chi Zun didn't care, "The problem of mixed blood can be solved by blood spirit crystal."
" Besides, he has mastered all the Mangcang fighting methods and has been recognized by the Demon Sword. If he is not worthy of holding the sword, who else is worthy?"
He asked in return: "Also, do you think that whoever controls the magic sword left by Saint Ancestor Mangcang needs your consent?"
"You are overstepping your authority and committing treason." Chi Zun said slowly.
"Chi Zun, you..." Zhan Zun's face changed suddenly.
"I think you are speaking for Qingge because he is the son-in-law of the Shi Wu lineage under your command and is considered your Chi Zun's man." Ming Zun said bluntly.
"So what?" Chi Zun's expression remained unchanged. "Even if I defend him out of selfish motives, what's wrong with what I said?"
Now, both the War Lord and the Life Lord were silent.
According to the rules, the control of the Demon Sword is none of their business. It all depends on the battle monument set up by Demon Lord Mangcang and the opinion of the Demon Sword.
They have no right to interfere with the choice of the magic sword.
However, rules are just a plaything for the strong.
The Holy Ancestor Mangcang who established this rule has passed away.
The rule makers at this time are them.
How can a mere rule restrict them, the rule makers?
As long as they reach a consensus, it doesn't matter if the Demon Sword approves or if they comply with the rules.
They could easily change the rules in an extremely domineering manner, then take back the magic sword from Qingge and re-enshrine it on the sword-controlling platform.
But now, they have differences.
At this time, the originally established rules became a powerful weapon and a topic of conversation for Chi Zun.
