Chapter 265: Killing Alone

However, now that Qiulong Mansion had just lost these 500,000 taels of red gold, he certainly couldn't spend it in Qiulong Mansion. It just so happened that he was going to Sanlong Mountain, and he could find a rich county town on the way there to purchase the golden jade.

Returned home from the Xia Wang Realm.

"There is no time to waste. I'd better go to Sanlong Mountain as soon as possible. I can't give that dog-headed military advisor from Liangshan time to make a second-hand preparation for me."

Chen Ku remembered that the dog-headed military advisor had a second plan against him, that is, disguising himself as him to kill government troops, and he was probably still on the way to Sanlong Mountain.

He prepared to use his lightning-fast steps to get ahead of his opponent.

Before leaving.

Thinking of home, he felt a little worried, so he pulled out the incarnation of the dragon, let it perch on the beam of the house, and whispered:

"I'm going to Sanlong Mountain to suppress the bandits. You stay at home and guard it well. If anyone breaks in, kill them if you can. If you can't handle them, take your family and hide underground."

The dragon nodded slightly, signaling the main body to rest assured.

Chen Ku immediately looked in the direction of Sanlong Mountain before dawn.

He transformed into a four-legged beast, covered in the aura of a black smoke beast, and headed straight towards the Three Dragons Mountain.

Walking on the clouds.

Chen Ku looked down. An hour later, the sky was already bright. He saw a city below and thought:

"The area below should be Danzhu County. The Qiulong Demon Records records that 300 miles south of this county, there is a mountain called Gufeng. There are no plants on the mountain, but there are a lot of gold and jade. There is a beast in the mountain that looks like a fox with wings and sounds like a wild goose. It is called Bihuohu, a powerful fire demon. Once it comes down the mountain and walks through the villagers' fields, that area of ​​land will suffer from drought for three years."

A county town backed by mountains of gold and jade is, as you can imagine, a rich county.

Chen Ku left the clouds and mist behind and walked into this strange county town just as the sky was getting light.

Half an hour later.

After spending two hundred thousand taels of red gold and collecting a hundred thousand kilograms of golden jade, he finally gathered all the conditions for the eighth transformation diagram.

Wow~~
However, in Chen Ku's mind, there was a moment when all conditions were met.

An ancient painting unfolds in my mind.

[The eighth transformation diagram has been completed]

[The owner of the diagram has completed the eighth transformation diagram, and the range of evil spirit perception has been increased to '50 miles in radius']

Chen Ku looked at the new scroll of changes that had appeared.

Looking at the 'additional effects' after the eighth transformation diagram was completed, he couldn't help but be overjoyed:

"The last time the range of evil energy perception increased was in the fourth change diagram, and now it is the eighth change diagram. Could it be that... the range of evil energy growth is the same as that innate magical power, and is also opened according to the change of the change diagram number?"

The natal supernatural power comes on the third and seventh days.

The range of sensing evil spirits is four and eight!

"Fifty miles in radius, that is, with me as the center, I can sense all malicious targets within a radius of fifty miles?"

Before, when the evil spirit's sensing range was within ten miles, he already had a similar ability to 'sense danger and avoid it' in the small county of Baojiao County, and could sense in advance if someone was going to harm him.

Now, within a radius of fifty miles...

It can also allow him to distinguish between friends and enemies without leaving his house.

"It's the eighth transformation diagram. It's a good time to try it out. What kind of transformation can the seventh-level Cheng Qingniu that I found tonight produce?"

Previously, due to limitations, each of his seven variation diagrams could not be easily disassembled, making it difficult to create new permutations and combinations.

Now, we can finally add a new change.

【Cheng Qingniu changes! 】

【Cheng Qing Niu Transformation·Change Shape】

[Transfiguration part: Unrivaled Mental Technique - Killing Heart Technique (Great Accomplishment)]

Chen Ku was slightly stunned.

Heart method?

This was the first time he had used his mental skills.

Earlier, when eavesdropping on the conversation between the two men from Liangshan and the father and son of the Hongwu Society, he heard that Cheng Qingniu, the killing god from Liangshan, was practicing an orthodox and peerless martial art called 'Tiangang Axe'.

Unexpectedly, he actually had such a mental method.

"Heart method, I already have the heart method of the Supreme Saint Heavenly Heart Technique [Divine Skill Set], what is the function of this Killing Heart Technique?"

Immediately, Cheng Qingniu's murderous technique was hung on the eighth change diagram.

hum~
In an instant, a special "state of mind" spread out from his heart.

Chen Ku opened his eyes.

However, at this moment, his eyes showed a look of complete indifference towards any life in the world, and even his face and features had subtly changed, appearing murderous and ferocious.

"So this is the killing method."

Chen Ku felt this "killing" state of mind, and at the same time, many contents of the Killing Heart Technique emerged in his mind.

【The way of man is to reduce what is insufficient and supplement what is in excess. Heaven created all things to nourish me, so there is nothing I cannot kill. I say that the disloyal can be killed! I say that the unfilial can be killed! I say that the unkind can be killed! I say that the unrighteous can be killed! I say that the unrighteous cannot be killed! I say that the unwise cannot be trusted! Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!】

He immediately understood the effect of this killing method.

Develop a 'killing' state of mind.

In the process of killing, people will become more and more happy and fierce, as if they don't know tiredness at all. Killing people is like cutting grass, killing a large number of them at a time.

"This is not a killing method, this is clearly a fierce general's method!"

Chen Ku said to himself:
"On the battlefield, with thousands of troops fighting, killing a large number of people at once, until heads roll down, is not only not wrong, but can earn you the title of marquis of a vast territory!"

After understanding this.

He then made a ridiculous comment on Cheng Qingniu's identity:
"It was clear that this guy was given a chance by God to make great achievements on the battlefield, but he ended up killing women, children, the elderly, and innocent villagers. In the end, he killed himself and became a living bandit. Although he has the nickname 'Sai Sha Shen', he is still just a bandit after all."

Chen Ku felt the wonder of this killing technique.

It was clearly a state of mind that allowed one to be at the peak state on the battlefield, just like when Chen Ku broke through the first level of the Demon Banner before. He killed four or five hundred demons, but he couldn't kill any more.

It's not just because I'm out of breath and have difficulty breathing, there are also mental problems, and I feel numb and tired.

However, if you change your state of mind to this kind of "killing method".

Chen Ku felt that he could easily kill through the thousand demon army that formed the first layer of the Demon Banner.

"Good ability!"

Although Chen Ku had been looking forward to drawing the cultivation attributes of the seventh realm characters, such as the great formation, the inner energy, and other cultivation abilities, now it seems that this killing mind method is also wonderful. Since he came here specifically to suppress bandits, why can't he put this state of mind to use!
Then he rode on the clouds and continued towards Sanlong Mountain.

along the way.

During the process, Chen Ku also continuously used the "Hundred Miles Tracking Technique" to search for the whereabouts of the Liangshan dog-headed military strategist "Mr. Tianji".

As a result, they didn't detect any scent of that guy until they got close to Sanlong Mountain.

That's why I feel relieved.

"Sure enough, my Lightning Steps combined with the speed of the Black Smoke Beast, even though Mr. Tianji is at the seventh level of cultivation, he still can't be faster than me."

But it was when Chen Ku had already arrived at Sanlong Mountain.

As he thought.

Mr. Tianji was still in a small county town three hundred miles away from Qiulong Mansion and had not been able to get far.

But at this moment, he had no time to care about the next arrangements.

because,

After daybreak, the news coming from the prefectural compound of Qiulong Prefecture had disrupted all his arrangements and plans regarding Chen Ku.

Qiulong Mansion.

The notice posted in the prefectural compound has spread throughout the inner city.

"This thief from Liangshan is so bold that he actually dared to assassinate the prefect in the middle of the night?"

"Could it be that they saw a demon in Baojiao County rebelling? Liangshan can no longer hold back and are preparing to respond in Liangshan. They are not pretending anymore and are about to start an uprising?"

Bandits are bandits, rebels are rebels, and the nature of the two is completely different.

Rebels are "armed forces" whose purpose is to expand and overthrow the dynasty, while bandits are just dugouts that stay in one place and don't move.

Although Liangshan is now powerful, everyone knows that the nature of Liangshan is almost becoming blurred between the two.

But after all,
They have not yet come down the mountain to capture cities, rise up in rebellion, and shout the slogan of "rebellion".

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Mr. Tianji looked at the notice issued by Qiulong Mansion with disbelief on his face:
"Brother Qingniu...is he dead?"

He just couldn't understand it anyway.

How could such a change happen?

"Qingniu is dead. There must be a hidden story behind this. As the planner of this matter, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain it to the Heavenly King."

Mr. Tianji's face was as gloomy as water, and a thought flashed through his mind:
"Unless you can make amends and bring Chen Ku up the mountain, maybe you can make up for the loss of a great general in Liangshan."

The top ten seats in Liangshan are all masters of the seventh realm. They are the top combat forces in Liangshan. The loss of any one of them will be an immeasurable loss.

Immediately, he looked at something at hand.

If Chen Ku were here, he would know that what Mr. Tianji was holding in his hand was actually a small clay figurine that looked exactly like him, with his birth date and horoscope printed on it.

At this time, Mr. Tianji looked at the little clay figurine.

It turns out that with his magical power of [Observing Fate], he can make a preliminary judgment on the other person's fate just by knowing the other person's appearance. If he can also get the birth date and time, he can see even more.

Of course,
However, this was different from his previous comment on Chen Ku's fate, which stated that he would either be a high-ranking official or a hero in the martial arts world.

At this time, Chen Ku's birth date was written on the small clay figurine.

Suddenly, he changed into a new destiny - a warrior on the battlefield

Mr. Tianji certainly knows that a person's fate is not static. At the crossroads of fate, sometimes different choices and encounters will create a new fate.

But no matter how it changes, it must be related to certain choices and behaviors of the person at that time.

"A warrior on the battlefield?"

Mr. Tianji was shocked and said:
"Could it be that he has already started to suppress the bandits in Sanlong Mountain? How could it be so fast? He was still in Qiulong Mansion yesterday!"

…………

Sanlong Mountain.

There are more than a dozen gullies in the mountains, forming many small streams, with green lotus leaves and frogs jumping in the streams.

There are cliffs on all sides, but they are not steep, but rather unusually graceful, and the sound of birds singing echoes among the cliffs.

It seemed like it had just rained a little here today. The rock walls were moist, and the pine trees in the mountains were swaying in the wind. There were many cranes on the trees, and there were also monkeys in the mountains.

If someone came here and said that this was a paradise, no one would doubt it. However, this place turned out to be a bandit's den.

But on the road up the mountain, there was a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. There were archers on the towers and sword and shield soldiers in front of the stronghold. All of them had bright armor and powerful eyes.

In a hall on the top of the mountain, three chairs were seated. The chief of the stronghold had a round head, a rough face, and shiny hair. His eyes were gleaming with lightning, and between his eyebrows, there was a proud look. He said:

"It's really funny. A young brat dares to threaten to destroy our Sanlong Mountain. I hope he can come here soon and see how many troops he can lead."

The second village chief next to him looked like a scholar, more beautiful than a beautiful woman, with red lips and white teeth. He put down his wine cup, with some worry in his eyes, and said: "I heard that Chen Ku was accepted as a disciple by Qin Yuxian on behalf of his master. He just came to Qiulong Mansion and defeated the junior master Zhou Li. If he brings people from Qiulong Martial Arts Association to attack us, it will be troublesome."

"What are you afraid of, second brother?" The third village chief, who was carrying a chain knife on his back and a hundred-year-old tiger belt around his waist, sneered, "In the martial arts world, fighting alone is never as good as arranging troops on the battlefield. Our Sanlong Mountain has been standing for at least 20 to 30 years. During this period, the government has sent troops to attack us countless times, but they always returned in defeat. Why? It's because our Sanlong Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, especially the One Thought Cliff, which is a place where one man can block the pass and ten thousand men cannot defeat it. Even if he can lead 3,000 soldiers to attack, he still can't defeat our 'Devil Cloud Peak'."

The head of the stronghold also laughed and said, "That's true. Otherwise, why did you choose this place back then? The third brother, let alone three thousand soldiers, even if he has four or five thousand, what's the problem? In marching and fighting, the key is to advance together and retreat together. The victory of the battle formation lies in the unity of hundreds and thousands of people at the same time, forming rows horizontally and teams vertically, driving forward when ordered, and those who retreat will be killed. Three thousand elite soldiers can shock the state, ten thousand elite soldiers can shock a region, and one hundred thousand elite soldiers can fight for the world.

Over the past twenty years, although I have been the leader of the stronghold, I have also trained my brothers day and night according to the art of war. Although I do not have thousands of elite soldiers, they all obey my orders. We only need to guard the treasure mountain. Even if an army of 10,000 comes to attack, my stronghold will be as solid as a rock! "

"Big brother, you're right!" The third village chief laughed and raised his glass to invite him to drink.

The second leader didn't know what to say after hearing this.

When~
The moment when the three people's wine glasses clinked together.

"Great, great, great... Your Majesty! Something bad has happened, something bad has happened..."

A soldier outside rushed into the hall in panic, shouting at the top of his lungs:
"There's a young man outside who calls himself Chen Ku and has come into the mountains with a stick!"

"what?"

The three village chiefs stood up at the same time, and their wine glasses were thrown to the ground.

The chief of the village immediately asked:
"How many people did he bring with him, and where did he fight?"

"Just! Just one!"

The soldier shouted in fear:

"He has already crossed the Yi Nian Cliff alone and is only three miles away from the Demon Cloud Peak!"
