Chapter 295: Destruction
Puppets are not very useful at low levels, but their assistance to cultivators at high levels becomes more and more significant. A sixth-level puppet is almost equivalent to a true Void Refining Master. Puppets above the sixth level are considered top-notch in Graystone City and even in Sword Seal City.
Therefore, Shen Ping was in a very good mood.
With this strange beast puppet form, his trump card is undoubtedly strengthened again, and he has the ability to protect himself even when facing a fusion-level cultivator.
Moreover, if the puppet is used with the high-level beast spirit treasure silk blade, as long as the opportunity is seized, it is possible to kill the strong man at the level of refining emptiness! However, this puppet also has a disadvantage, that is, it consumes too much energy, and the fairy stone can only support a cup of tea. Once the enemy sees through it, it will undoubtedly magnify this defect by delaying time during the fight. Fortunately, Shen Ping has a channel to trade for fairy stones, otherwise even if the beast form puppet is powerful, it will not help him at all.
Put away the puppet.
Shen Ping glanced at the formation plates and flags around him that were destroyed by the lightning pillars, waved his hand to erase all traces of the place, and then swept his spiritual sense across. Although he did not have the assistance of his wife, concubines and Taoist companions, his spiritual sense had already reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he could easily sense all the scenery within a radius of a thousand feet.
This sweep.
Then he sensed several breaths of living creatures, they were aliens.
The scene of thunder and lightning just now naturally attracted some creatures to come and see. After all, any violent fluctuations in spiritual energy or strange phenomena could be the birth of a rare treasure.
snort.
A faint snort.
The pressure from the aura of the spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation spread out.
Immediately, these creatures were crushed to the ground in fear.
Shen Ping ignored him and turned into a rainbow light and disappeared into the sky.
The creatures around suddenly showed their joy at surviving the disaster.
Haven't returned to Greystone yet.
The communication stone vibrated slightly.
Take out a sweep.
"My dear, Shi Hu came to visit us and insisted on meeting the Pavilion Master behind the Zhenbao Pavilion... I'm afraid he has doubts about our identities!"
The voice of Ishiuchi Huilan who sent the message was a little worried.
Shen Ping's expression was very calm. Not to mention that he now had a powerful puppet by his side, even in the past, he was not afraid of this stone tiger monster in the early stage of refining emptiness.
"Lan'er, tell Shi Hu that we will meet at Shixi Pavilion outside Huishi City in three days."
"Husband, this... is!"
Return to the home base.
Shen Ping also told this matter to his master.
The master smiled and said, "Disciple, the Zhenbao Pavilion has been established in the city for quite some time. Most of the items traded are fifth-tier precious materials, and some are sixth-tier materials. If it weren't for your special beast spirit treasure that disguised your spirit identity, you would have been coveted and swallowed by Shihu or other forces long ago. Shihu has shown some patience to be able to endure and test you until now."
Shen Ping nodded.
really.
The world of cultivation is a place where the strong prey on the weak, not to mention the already chaotic Black Mist Jedi fringe area, where snatching and killing each other is the norm. If it were any other big monster, they would have already started to test it.
"How are you going to handle this?"
Master Lian Xuejin asked.
Shen Ping did not respond in a hurry, but took a look at the environment of the An family residence, and said with a smile: "After living here for so many years, it's time to move to a better environment. I think the spacious manor occupied by Shi Hu is very good."
He smiled gently and said, "That is a great demon at the level of Refining Void. Do you have confidence, disciple?"
“You have to give it a try!”
Shen Ping's tone was full of confidence.
He is no longer the same person he was yesterday.
As a beast spirit genius.
He has always kept a low profile.
Geniuses like Yin Ting from the Feather Clan, even though they are only at the Nascent Soul stage and the God Transformation stage, in their clan, even the Fusion stage cultivators have to show respect when they see them.
Because the power of the strange beast in the body of the beast spirit genius is the energy that seizes the fortune of heaven and earth. It not only far exceeds the magic power of the same level, but can also drive powerful beast spirit treasures.
certainly.
If a real fight breaks out, a second-rate beast spirit genius without a high-level beast spirit treasure will be doomed to die facing a combined cultivator.
If he didn't know that powerful immortals from various races had come down to the mortal world to look for him, he would not have responded in the same way when facing the temptation of the Stone Tiger Demon. But now the situation is urgent, and he must expand the influence and intelligence scope of the Zhenbao Pavilion as soon as possible so as to respond to unexpected situations in time and prepare to escape back to the black fog Jedi.
So Greystone City becomes more important.
These ten years.
He was so absorbed in studying the Puppet Beast Sutra that he had no time for anything else.
But now that he had fully comprehended the Puppet Beast Scroll, he naturally had to deal with other matters properly. As for continuing to comprehend other skills derived from the Beast Scroll, he was not in a hurry. After all, whether it was alchemy, formation, or other skills, he did not have much talent, and it would probably take tens of thousands of years to study them all.
…
night.
Inside the gauze tent.
The graceful and exquisite curves nestled in Shen Ping's broad arms.
Jing Huilan raised her eyes and said softly, "My husband, tomorrow is your date with the great stone tiger monster. I am really worried. How about I refuse it? My Zhenbao Pavilion has developed to this point. There are four guests who have reached the state of incarnation. Over the years, I have not allowed them to take action..."
Shen Ping held her fair shoulders and said, "Don't worry, your husband won't do anything that he is not sure of. Tomorrow, we will send a message to the An family's ancestors and other guests to go with them. With them around, at the very least, your husband can protect himself."
He asked the guests in the cabinet to go with him in order to intimidate them.
Hearing this.
The worry in Jing Huilan's eyes slowly dissipated. She curled up her body, and her exquisite curves gradually began to ripple.
The next day.
The end of Chen hour.
The An family's ancestor and four other guests were waiting in the pavilion early.
Two of them are from the human race, and the other two are from the Wood Clan and the Flower Clan. In fact, these two clans can be regarded as branches of the demon clan, but since the appearance of the Ten Thousand Spirits List, the two clans have gradually separated from the demon clan.
"Hehe...Our Pavilion Master has always been mysterious, and today we can finally get a glimpse of his true appearance."
"I don't know what level the Pavilion Master's cultivation is at?"
"I think it's at least Refining Void."
The two guests from the Wood Clan and the Flower Clan had a brief conversation.
However, the An family ancestor and another human god closed their eyes calmly. They already knew Shen Ping's identity.
“Here I come.”
When Shen Ping walked in.
The charming guest from the Flower Clan couldn't help but detect with her spiritual sense, but immediately discovered that there was a layer of special energy interference on Shen Ping's body, which made her eyes light up slightly.
Can conceal the detection of the spirit.
Obviously there are some means behind this.
As for Shen Ping's youthful appearance, she didn't care. The higher the level of cultivation, the more ways to change one's appearance.
The same was true for another guest from the Wood Clan.
"Everyone."
"Being able to become a guest official is a sign of trust in my Zhenbao Pavilion. I will not say any more polite words. Today I am going to meet the city lord, so please be mentally prepared."
Shen Ping looked indifferent.
"City Lord?"
The four guests who had attained the state of spiritual enlightenment, including the An family's ancestor, were all startled, but soon recovered as usual. They bowed and said, "We will do our best."
Having said that, it is hard to know what he is thinking.
Leave Zhenbao Pavilion.
Half a cup of tea.
Shen Ping and his group came to the Shixi Pavilion located on the nearby mountainside.
Inside the pavilion.
A burly man with a strong build was sitting upright, and next to him stood an equally burly man. Although the two did not look like demons at all, the demonic aura they emanated was as thick as a mountain.
"I am late and have kept City Lord Shi waiting for a long time. Please forgive me."
Step into the stone pavilion.
Shen Ping said with a cupped hand.
This Shi Hu brought his subordinates who were in the late stage of Huajin, which was really cautious. In this Huishi City, Lianxu was the top powerhouse. Even if he came alone, it was enough to intimidate the An family's ancestor and others.
Shi Hu laughed and said, "No problem, please take a seat, Pavilion Master."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After sitting down.
Shi Hu raised his wine glass and said, "This Shixi Pavilion was built by the Lord of Jing City of the human race, and this wine was also brewed by the Jing family. It is quite mellow. Please have a taste, Pavilion Master."
Shen Ping glanced at the wine glass, then picked it up and drank it. However, the moment the wine entered his throat, the power of the strange beast in his body began to circulate slightly, wrapping and refining the wine. However, the wine did not contain any poison. On the contrary, this circulation caused his own aura to fluctuate, which was soon detected and sensed by strong men such as Shi Hu.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the Pavilion Master is actually a Yuanying cultivator. This really surprises this city lord!"
Shi Hu narrowed his eyes.
The two guests from the Wood and Flower tribes were surprised and their brows wrinkled slightly.
They didn't care about the Nascent Soul cultivation level, but the leak of aura just now made them realize that the Pavilion Master in front of them was most likely a human.
The human race controls a large amount of precious resources in the Zhenbao Pavilion, which can easily arouse covetousness.
Shen Ping smiled calmly and said, "City Lord, my junior's strength is low, and I just got some materials by chance. I hope you can take care of my Zhenbao Pavilion in the future."
Shi Hu waved his hand casually, "The Pavilion Master can let the Spiritual Clan monks take care of the Zhenbao Pavilion. I think it must be some unusual means. Why does this city lord need to take care of it? I asked you to come here today mainly to discuss something."
"Mayor, please speak."
"The resources in the Zhenbao Pavilion are needed by cultivators of all races, and my Shihu clan is quite powerful in this Huishi City. I wonder if the Pavilion Master can allow my Shihu clan to transport the resources in the pavilion to various gathering places such as the Black Evil Valley for trading?"
Shen Ping raised his eyebrows, "Oh, how should the exchange proceeds be distributed?"
"How about Eight Two?"
"It's not impossible to give up 20%..."
Shi Hu interrupted: "It's not 20%, it's 80%."
Shen Ping smiled in surprise, "City Lord Shi, are you kidding me?"
Shi Hu picked up the wine glass and took another sip, "Could it be that this city lord is a person who likes to joke?"
Shen Ping still smiled, "That's fine, but I have a condition."
"What are the conditions?"
"Simple, I'm quite interested in Lord Shi's manor, I wonder if you can give it up!"
Hearing this.
Shi Hu laughed, "That manor belongs to the Jing family. This city lord is not comfortable living there, but no one dares to covet this city lord's things. If you want it, you have to show some ability!"
The voice fell.
Four tiger-head stone carvings suddenly appeared around the stone pavilion. They were the ancient spiritual treasures. The pressure from these four tiger-head stone carvings was even greater than that from the control of the Frost Wolf Chief. Shen Ping, the An family ancestor and other four guests immediately felt as if several towering mountains were pressing down on them.
Shen Ping's face was not at all flustered. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all again. "The city lord wants to see my ability, so I'd better obey your command!"
Wow.
In an instant.
A beast-shaped puppet appeared, and its hooves suddenly stepped towards the stone tiger.
"puppet?"
As Shi Hu retreated, he stared at the strange puppet. He instinctively sensed a hint of danger and immediately shouted, "Shi Yu, do it!"
Roar! His subordinate Shi Yu roared, and his body swelled in size. In an instant, he broke through the stone pavilion and turned into a tiger-headed monster more than three meters tall. A huge axe suddenly appeared in his hand, and he raised his head and chopped at Shen Ping.
"Pavilion Master, be careful!"
The An family ancestor and another human being who had transformed into a god took out their magic weapons and stood in front of Shen Ping.
The two guests from the Wood Clan and the Flower Clan looked at each other, and mobilized their magic power to cast spells to create a protective aura.
Shen Ping took a few steps back and did not look at Shi Yu. He focused all his attention on the fight between the puppet and Shi Hu.
The beast-shaped puppet was extremely fast, and it rushed in front of the stone tiger monster almost like teleportation. Even though the stone tiger dodged and used magic weapons to resist, every time it resisted, a huge and strange force passed through the magic weapon and penetrated its body.
After only two or three attacks, Shi Hu felt that many of his meridians and bones were broken.
"What kind of puppet is this...it has such power!"
Shi Hu was shocked and transformed into his original form, holding two huge stone hammers. He dodged and looked for opportunities to attack Shen Ping. After all, as long as Shen Ping died, the puppet would be useless. However, the puppet still clung to him tightly.
Shen Ping was also quite surprised at this time, "As expected of a great demon at the level of Refining Void, the strength of his body is not comparable to that of a human cultivator."
The attacks of the beast-shaped puppets all carry the power of a strange beast. Although it is not even one-tenth of the power of a real strange beast, its strength and penetration are very terrifying. An ordinary spiritual cultivator would be seriously injured by a single blow, but this stone tiger has fought with it for more than ten times without even vomiting blood.
Boom!
The powerful aftermath of spiritual energy swept through and shook the surrounding tiger-head stone defenses. The two guests from the Wood and Flower tribes were shocked to see that the puppet was fighting the stone tiger on equal terms, and they quickly used their magic power to protect Shen Ping to prevent the aftermath from shaking him.
After all, the aftermath of the fight between Lianxu and Huashen alone is enough to severely damage Yuanying.
Furthermore, if it weren't for the tiger head stone carving covering the surroundings, the surrounding mountains would have collapsed long ago, and even the nearby Greystone City would have been affected.
Dozens more breaths passed.
Seeing that the two guest officials of the An family's ancestor were gradually losing the upper hand.
Shen Ping knew that he couldn't wait any longer. More importantly, the stone tiger seemed to have figured out the attack rhythm of the beast-shaped puppet. If he continued, it would surely take advantage of the opportunity when he was dodging to get close to him.
laugh.
He flicked his sleeves.
The silk blade emerges.
The Nascent Soul figure in the Dantian opened his mouth and spit out a large amount of pure dark golden beast power surged out. Suddenly the silk blade trembled slightly, and then turned into a translucent light mark that flashed away.
The great demon at the level of Refining Void was extremely sensitive. The moment Shen Ping made a move, it felt its heart palpitations. Without any hesitation, the tremendous demonic power surged in its body, and the ancient bronze bell on its body quickly turned from virtual to real.
clang!!
The moment the silk blade pierced the bronze bell, the heavy metal impact spread out, causing vibrations in the space.
But the next moment.
Shi Hu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he saw that the translucent light mark actually penetrated the bronze bell directly and pierced his forehead at lightning speed.
"How...how is this possible?!"
Sensing the strange power raging in his forehead, Shi Hu's huge spiritual consciousness mobilized demonic power to resist, but it was of no avail. In just half a breath, the meridians and dantian in his body were completely shattered, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
Until its death, it could not figure out why the bronze bell could not withstand the magic weapon of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Bang.
Looking at the corpse of the stone tiger monster smashed heavily to the ground.
The entire area around Shixi Pavilion suddenly became silent.
