The morning light landed on Qian Rongzhi's white clothes. She had given up on her arts of charm a long time ago, but she possessed a brand new lustre that surpassed anything in the past.
"What do you want to do?" Li Qingshan was rather surprised.
"What do you think I can do?" Qian Rongzhi answered with a question. No matter what she did, she always had a clear objective, but right now, she felt rather lost. She just wanted to see him, but she had no idea why.
"Do you know what kind of opportunity you've wasted? Why don't you keep it simple and tell me what you want? "Li Qingshan said.
"I don't lack this opportunity. If you turn me down, then forget I said anything," Qian Rongzhi said.
"You want to see her, but she might not want to see you."
"Then please tell her that whether she wants to see me or not, we're even now."
Li Qingshan glanced at Qian Rongzhi deeply and nodded. "Alright, I'll tell her."
"Thank you. I'll wait for her at the Hundred Schools of Thought. I'll help you watch over your woman as well."
In order to prevent the Soaring Locust King from making a comeback again, she had to remain in the Clear River prefecture for a while and wait for the construction of the new protective formation to be completed.
"Since you've said that, don't blame me for holding you accountable if anything happens to her."
With that, Li Qingshan took off, returning to the Chain mountains and the Qing Xiao dwelling. Little Ann was still puzzled over how he had returned so quickly, so he listened to Li Qingshan explain what had happened. "The Soaring Locust King is the cream of the crop both in terms of strength and strategy. It's no wonder the locust plague has lasted for so long."
"I'll definitely kill him!" Li Qingshan's anger had yet to subside. His killing intent overflowed. His hatred towards the Soaring Locust King had almost surpassed his hatred towards the Dragon King Of The Sea. Although the Dragon King Of The Sea had killed him once, it was only a regular battle between cultivators. He did not have to be so disgusting.
"Father, I'll help you! Ouch!" As soon as the little phoenix called out, he was bitten viciously by the Skeleton Demon again. His feathers ruffled.
"Brat, let's talk after you pass the trial!" Li Qingshan smiled, before saying to Little Ann, "Help me vent my anger first. Kill this Daemon Commander clone of his, then kill all of his clones. I'll show him just how powerful I am!"
He summoned the Demon Suppressing Pagoda and said to the Flying Locust Demon Marshal, "How is it? You lost again, right? Fight me!"
"Li Qingshan, consider yourself lucky this time. Next time, you might not be so lucky." The Soaring Locust King replied immediately, his tone full of threat.
"Cut the crap, your time of death has come!"
"Death? You killed one of my doppelgangers, but I still have thousands and thousands of doppelgangers. One day, I'll eat you alive, bite by bite! "The Soaring Locust King laughed maniacally.
Little Ann's sword pierced through the body of the Flying Locust Demon Marshal.
Legend has it that in order to deliver all living beings from suffering, Buddha incarnated himself into billions of forms. He was both ten thousand and one. And this sword was the Buddha Slaying Sword. Even if it could slay ten thousand, it could also slay one.
In an instant, tens of thousands of miles away, an identical sword scar appeared on the back of the Soaring Locust King. A dense aura of death lingered on it, not only preventing the wound from healing, it was also rapidly spreading in all directions.
"What sword is this?" The Soaring Locust King was shocked and furious. In the past, even if his clone was reduced to ashes, it wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on his body. Now, not only was his main body injured, it was also quite serious.
"The sword that killed you. Do you really think that I can't do anything to you just because you have so many avatars?" Li Qingshan laughed heartily, venting his anger.
After Little Ann assassinated the Flying Locust Demon Marshal, he attacked again and again, killing the Flying Locust Demon Generals one by one.
The Soaring Locust King's original body was riddled with wounds. He gritted his teeth and said, "Li Qingshan, consider yourself ruthless. Let's wait and see!"
The Flying Locust Clones that were entangled in chains immediately stopped moving.
"He cut off his connection with these clones." Little Ann put down the Buddha Slaying Sword.
"What a pity. It would be great if I could kill him like this!" Li Qingshan said. However, he knew that he was thinking too much. Even if he stabbed the Soaring Locust King's main body with a sword, it would be difficult to take his life.
"There will be a chance. The sword wounds on his body won't recover so quickly. I can try to divine his location."
However, Little Ann tried to divine, but the result was very vague. Her divination technique could no longer keep up with her current cultivation, and the other party's realm was also there.
"There's no rush. I'll kill him sooner or later."
Li Qingshan left some locusts for Ru Xin to use as experimental subjects, and gave the rest to Little Ann to refine.
Although the locusts were weak, their numbers were too large. They piled up into small mountains in the Asura Field. Although the number of locusts in the second locust plague was only a tenth of the first, the number of people who lost their lives to the locusts was close to a million. Li Qingshan also collected these locusts' corpses, which was equivalent to indirectly becoming Little Ann's resources. Their value was no less than the first locust plague.
Although it was a little strange, Li Qingshan was not that unreasonable. On the other hand, Little Ann put her palms together and silently chanted for a while. Only then did she wave the Samādhi Flames of White Bone and devour the mountains of corpses.
For the current her, this was a timely rain. After passing through three heavenly tribulations, other than the Buddha Slaying Sword that had been improved, the Skull Prayer Beads and Blood Sea Banner that should have become stronger were in a half-useless state. It was just right to use this sum of resources to repair them. Only then could her strength reach its peak.
However, she made a rough estimate. Although this amount of resources could be said to be vast, she was afraid that she could only repair one of the white bone treasures to a perfect state. After thinking for a while, she decided to start with the "Skull Prayer Beads".
The Blood Sea Banner could form a space of its own and trap enemies within it. However, its functions overlapped with the Asura Field, so it was not as practical as the "Skeleton Demon Formation" formed by the Skull Prayer Beads.
Thus, with a wave of his hand, the Skull Prayer Beads scattered and transformed into skulls in mid-air. They spun around and cackled strangely. The Skeleton Devil that was fighting with the small phoenix also transformed into a skull and entered the Skull Prayer Beads. However, other than it, the other skulls all had some cracks on them. Some had broken horns, while others had broken teeth.
The Buddha Slaying Sword led the way, and the Samādhi Flames of White Bone soared up. The skulls took in large gulps, and the cracks slowly healed.
The little phoenix retreated to the bottom of the mountain and gazed at the blazing Samādhi Flames of White Bone, instinctively feeling fear.
"Very soon, Daddy will take you out to play!" Li Qingshan patted the little phoenix's shoulder and also arrived in a corner of the dwelling, beginning to cultivate. He was not practising the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, but the Demon Suppression Statuary.
The Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine had reached a new bottleneck. It would be difficult for him to break through again in a short amount of time, but the Demon Suppression Statuary was a new fortuitous encounter. After becoming a Daemon King, his demonic nature had strengthened a step further, laying down a firm foundation for tempering his demon heart. Moreover, he still possessed the demon hearts of many Demon Kings as resources. Everything was ready.
Although he only knew the first eight layers of the Demon Suppression Statuary, as the peak cultivation method of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, as long as he could master the first eight layers, it would be enough for him to reach the realm of Demon King.
