Chapter 160 Xia Pingzhou's Second Contracted Demon (asking for monthly tickets)
Under the moonlight, the Grand Canal in Venice ripples slowly, and the whole world is shrouded in the rustling sound.
The Rialto Bridge across the Grand Canal was silent and gloomy. The huge eaves cast shadows on the bridge corridor, and one or two pairs of red eyes were wandering in the darkness.
Xia Pingzhou put away his phone and slowly raised his eyes from the screen.
The moment my eyes turned towards the bridge corridor, a cold system prompt sounded in my mind.
[System prompts, two rare demons have been encountered - "Copy Demon" (compatibility with the Sky Drive of Unit 2: 95%)]
"Compatibility? Does it mean suitable for the contract?" He raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself.
"What do you mean?" The blood descendant raised the corner of his lips and looked at Xia Pingzhou with his red eyes.
"You help me beat the cripples," Xia Pingzhou said expressionlessly, "and I'll finish it off."
"Finishing?" The Blood Descendant said with a smile, "You can say 'please feed me' so nicely, you are worthy of being our newcomer."
Xia Ping was silent all day.
The advantage of having a paralyzed face is that when you are so choked that you don't know what to say, just keep silent. Others stare at your poker face and think you are thinking about something serious, and suddenly they dare not tease you.
In order to hide this, he stared ahead with a more focused and solemn gaze.
At this moment, two strange figures were slowly walking towards them from the shadows, and the faint footsteps echoed in the corridor.
That's right, human figures. Judging from the outline, they didn't look like demons at all. Their figures gradually exposed themselves under the moonlight, causing Xia Pingzhou's pupils to dilate slightly.
What came into view at this moment were clearly two humans, but Xia Pingzhou was not surprised that these two demons were disguised as humans. What surprised him was their appearance.
One of the demons was wearing a blood-red skirt and high heels, with long wavy light blonde hair flying in the wind; the other was wearing a black hoodie, with handsome features and a cold expression.
It was the appearance of Xueyi and Xia Pingzhou.
"They have become our appearance?" Xia Pingzhou thought, "Can they copy our abilities?"
"Wow... a replicating demon?" A hint of surprise flashed across the Bloodline's brows. "This thing is quite rare. I heard Bai Tanlang mention it once. There may be no more than five in the world. I didn't expect that we would encounter one."
"Don't kill them all accidentally. Leave at least one. I want to sign a contract with it." Xia Pingzhou said.
"That's a lot of requests. I'll kill that one first and make it mine."
As soon as the words fell, the figure of the blood descendant rushed out, like a blood-red curtain dancing in the moonlight.
He couldn't see her movements clearly. Xia Pingzhou could only see a blood-red sword light. Unknowingly, she had condensed into a rippling blood sword, which she held in her right hand. The blood descendant's high heels tapped on the bridge corridor, landed behind the replica, and put away the sword.
A line of blood appeared on the waist of the demon that transformed into her copy, and its body was split into two along the dotted line and slid down along the crack.
Xia Pingzhou released his Sky Drive, and a black and white ring formed around him. He raised his bony fingers and grasped the shadow of the Queen's stone statue.
With a "click", the chess piece shadow shattered, and then the shadow of the queen's stone statue passed by him.
She spun her body in mid-air, and her two daggers formed a sharp gyroscope, turning the two parts of the clone's body into a bloody mist.
This scene was reflected in Xia Pingzhou's dark eyes, and his black hair was blown high by the wind over the Grand Canal.
[Detected that a C-level or higher demon has been killed. The cumulative kill count of the "Wild Hunt Winter" system has been updated: 20/40]
[The current progress of the second character's Sky Drive "Chess" is: 8%]
"After all, it has become like me, can't you be gentle to it?"
The blood descendant teased while slowly turning his head and looking at the second copy demon.
She raised her slender fingertips and pointed them at it. The blood condensed into a dot, and then shrank into a thin needle. She flicked her fingertips slightly like she was flicking off some cigarette ash, and the red needle shot out like a bullet towards the head of the replica demon.
"The stone statue of the king." The replica demon suddenly said.
Xia Pingzhou was stunned: "This demon can also use my ability?"
In an instant, a king with a transparent body appeared behind the replica demon.
The king raised his scepter high, and the black and white energy formed a barrier that enveloped the body of the replica demon. The blood needles shot out from the air and nailed the barrier, making a violent buzzing sound, and then the power slowly retreated.
Finally, the blood needle slowly dissipated and turned into scattered blood dripping onto the bridge.
"Wow, is this true?" The Bloodborn raised an eyebrow, "A demon can actually block my attack?"
Xia Pingzhou said without hesitation: "Hit the statue behind it."
"Yes, sir," the Bloodborn responded jokingly, dropping behind the replica demon.
She lowered her face, her red eyes sparkling in the shadow of the bridge corridor. Blood flowed out from the gaps between her fingers, dancing in the air in a wave-like trajectory.
The ink-like red color seemed liquid, but in the next second it was like a heavy hammer, smashing the king's head with a strong wind.
Amidst the flying silver fragments, the Blood Descendant twisted his body without looking back, turned to face the back of the replica demon, and slapped the replica demon's head lightly as if he was hitting a volleyball.
With a loud "bang", its head was instantly slapped into the air a hundred meters away, and then hit the spire of a building before slowly bouncing back into the Grand Canal.
"Is it necessary to be so rough?" Xia Pingzhou felt a slight pain in his head.
"Weren't you just as rough with my copy?"
"It's just the devil."
"It's just a demon." The Blood Descendant lifted his long light golden hair and said disapprovingly.
She put one hand on her waist and her red skirt swayed.
The next moment, the headless replica demon slowly knelt on the ground, and then its body trembled and squirmed, gradually becoming transparent, and finally shrank into a tiny paper man.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, go kill my brothers!"
The paper man curled up on the ground, hugging his knees and trembling, tears welling up in his black eyes.
"This is its true form." The Blood Descendant folded his shoulders and looked down at the paper figurine on the ground. "So, what are you going to do with it?"
"Sign the contract." Xia Pingzhou responded.
The Bloodborn asked curiously, "Is there any point in signing a contract with such a weak demon? Although it can copy our appearance and some of our abilities, its actual ability is far inferior to that of the target."
"It blocked one of your attacks."
The Blood Descendant put her hand on her chin and murmured, "That's true... I never thought it could block my moves. Was that your ability just now?" She looked at Xia Pingzhou.
"Yes. It can replicate my abilities, no matter how strong they are, and that's enough for me."
As he spoke, Xia Pingzhou walked towards the paper man. The Möbius strip surrounding him suddenly turned into a key with black and white light, floating in the air.
The front of the key is engraved with the shape of a shadow demon, and the back is engraved with dense chess shadows: queen, king, knight, soldier...
This is Tianqu's "contract state". As the name suggests, it will only appear when signing a contract with the devil.
In Xia Pingzhou's body memory, the contract state of each SkyDrive is different, but most of them are in the shape of a "container".
Some are wine glasses, some are kettles, and some are even glass balls...
But as you can see, the contractual state of Xia Pingzhou's Tianqu "Chess" is a "key".
This is apparently extremely rare, as the key does not fit the definition of a "container".
"If possible, I would also like to be an exorcist. It is much more fun than being a psychic." The blood descendant suddenly said.
"If you were an exorcist, you would look like a 100-year-old woman now. The demon you dismembered just now would not choose to turn into an old woman, but would turn around and run away... This way, I would kill one less demon."
"Did the young lady teach you?"
"What?"
"You don't have to speak if you can't."
"She can't talk either."
As he spoke, Xia Pingzhou reached out and grasped the key, then bent down and handed the key to the paper figure.
"Sign a contract with me," he said, "or die."
The paper man was stunned for a long moment, slightly loosened his hands that were hugging his knees, then staggered forward two steps, opened his arms, and hugged the key, which was a circle larger than his body, tightly, just like a human hugging a pillar.
Its body merged with the key, and then turned into a pattern engraved on the front of the key, adjacent to the shadow demon.
The shadow demon covered his mouth with his hands and let out a "hehehe" laugh, as if welcoming the arrival of the new resident.
The black and white light carried the key back to Xia Pingzhou's hand.
Then, a series of prompt panels popped up in his eye sockets.
[Hint: The second unit's Sky Drive "Chess" has signed a contract with the rare demon "Copy Demon". ]
[The ability of the copy demon is as follows: copy a chess piece on the board within 8 seconds and gain the opponent's power. (Except for fusion chess pieces)]
[Note: The stats and power of the copied demon will be significantly lower than that of the object being copied.]
[The maximum existence time of the copy demon: 8 seconds]
[Shadow Demon's maximum existence time: 5 seconds]
[The current remaining slots for Sky Exorcist are: 0 (Exorcists must upgrade their rank to level 3 before they can sign a contract with a new demon)]
"Do you want to continue?" The Blood Child held his forehead and pulled the corner of his mouth, "Although I seem to have drunk too much, it should be no problem for me to accompany you for a night."
"Then let's continue."
After saying this, the key in Xia Pingzhou's hand disappeared into his palm.
Just as the team members said, there were countless demons entrenched in this water city. In a short period of time, the two chatted while clearing out all the demons around.
Most of them are below grade C, and only five or six are above grade C.
[The cumulative kill count of the "Wild Hunt Winter" system has been updated: 26/40]
[The current progress of the second character's Sky Drive "Chess" is: 30%]
After killing about ten demons, Xia Pingzhou looked at the data on the character panel and suddenly stopped on the street.
"That's all for tonight," he said.
"I, a thug, haven't even complained of being tired?" The Blood Descendant put one hand on his waist and turned to look at him.
"It's not that I don't want to continue..." Xia Pingzhou paused, "It's just that I can't continue."
"Why? Did the eldest lady ask you to go back and play house with her?" the Bloody guessed.
"No, there's a killing spree going on nearby,"
As he spoke, Xia Pingzhou took a look at the map on the APP.
The flashing red dots on the map disappeared one after another, which meant that nearby demons were being eliminated at a high speed. This exorcist was working non-stop, sweeping the prey of the entire city like a storm.
"Who?" asked the Blood Descendant.
"Who else could it be?"
"Oh, the Ripper's sister." The Blood Descendant said, "Not surprising... After all, her Sky Drive is close to the third level and she is in urgent need of nutrients."
Xia Pingzhou thought for a moment and asked, "Will she be the first natural disaster level in our group?"
"It's hard to say. The three of us, Origami, and Bai Tanlang, have already touched the boundary of a quasi-natural disaster. I just don't know who is faster." The Bloodline paused, "As for the leader, no one knows his situation."
"How did you get in here when someone took a hundred years to cultivate to the quasi-disaster level?" Xia Pingzhou asked sarcastically.
The blood descendant yawned and nonchalantly defended himself:
"Because this person who took a hundred years to cultivate to the quasi-disaster level, her supernatural power has side effects. While giving her the ability to never age, it also greatly reduces the speed at which she cultivates her supernatural power. Do you understand?"
It will take me at most one month to reach the "quasi-disaster level" and it will not just be one body, all of my bodies will be upgraded to the quasi-disaster level simultaneously...
Xia Pingzhou really wanted to say this to her, but that would be blatant sarcasm.
"Would you like to go back to the box with us for a drink?" she asked. "It's a good opportunity to get acquainted with the new No. 5."
Just as Xia Pingzhou was about to accept it, a piece of paper suddenly flew out from his sleeve. He didn't know when it was hidden there.
Then, the paper page tore apart and turned into scraps of paper. The scraps of paper formed two crooked words in the air:
--"return".
The Blood Desire smiled, put his hand on Xia Pingzhou's shoulder, and said maliciously: "It seems that someone is angry?"
Xia Pingzhou watched the confetti fall on the bridge and be blown away by the wind, then replied expressionlessly: "No, I've never seen her really angry."
"Why do you say that?"
"I feel like...her anger is more of an acted emotion, to make herself seem more like a 'real person'."
"How can you make our eldest daughter sound like a robot?"
"What else?"
The Bloodborn thought for a moment and said, "But she won't act out her 'emotions' in front of everyone."
She paused and said nonchalantly, "Is it possible that she is always so cold only to those who don't care about her?"
"Let's go back to the tavern." Xia Pingzhou was silent for a moment and then spoke.
"Oh?" The Blood Descendant raised his eyebrows, "I thought you would go back obediently."
"Call her along, she's awake anyway."
"He has guts."
