After saying that, the Unraging monk did not wait for the Dauntless monk's reply. He said to Li Qingshan, "Let's go!"
"Master …" Li Qingshan suddenly had no idea what to say.
"What, do you really want to stay here and sit in prison?" The Unraging monk smiled.
"How dare you fool me!" Li Qingshan said furiously. It was no wonder that the Unraging monk had suddenly become a different person. Basically every single word he said was purposefully provoking him.
"Damned brat, so what if I've fooled you? Who knows how many times you've cursed 'bald donkey, bald donkey'. We're even now." The Unraging monk had returned to his carefree manner, which left Li Qingshan with no idea whether he should be happy or furious.
The master and disciple returned to the Demon Suppression hall. The Dauntless monk and the One Lamp monk had already vanished.
The Unraging monk plopped down on the stone tablet outside the hall again and took out some alcohol and meat to eat.
"It must have been that old bastard who made you come down!" Li Qingshan shared half of the alcohol and meat with him. He could vaguely guess that if it were not for the Dauntless monk's interference, the Unraging monk definitely would not have clashed with him.
"No." The Unraging monk gulped down a few mouthfuls of alcohol.
"You're also afraid that my personality will change drastically after switching to the Demon War Statuary, which is why you're purposefully testing me?"
Li Qingshan asked. Judging a person through their cultivation method was not actually simple or crude in the cultivation community. Cultivation methods had an extremely deep influence on cultivators, especially demonic cultivators and demonfolk who practised demonic arts. Not even one in ten thousand were good people.
Even if it was the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, if it were not for the suppression of the spirit turtle and the mediation of the phoenix, he would probably be a different person. Even if he could retain some of his original self, he would definitely be even more violent, stubborn, and do whatever he wanted.
And, after switching the Demon Suppression Statuary to the Demon War Statuary, his personality had indeed been influenced slightly. He became a little irritable and easily angered, and his aggressiveness became stronger too. Otherwise, he would never have been angered by the Unraging monk so easily.
"Not really. I trust you, but not everyone understands you like I do. You can't blame the Dauntless abbot either. I can take responsibility for you, but he has to take responsibility for the entire monastery!"
The Unraging monk had witnessed Li Qingshan's battle with Si Qing, especially when he used a single hand to block the black dragon's frontal charge, so he knew he was hiding a great power.
As a result, he descended into the Demon Suppression hall and purposefully infuriated Li Qingshan verbally, even threatening him by suppressing him. In the end, he purposefully left behind a fatal opening. It was not to test whether he had become demonic or not, but to prove to the Dauntless monk that he was not the monastery's enemy.
If he wanted to convince others that the tiger was not dangerous, the only way was to personally step into the tiger's cage. This was the Unraging monk's way of taking responsibility for his disciple. When he used his life as a guarantee, even the Dauntless monk had nothing to say. Even if he refused to accept a demon king like Li Qingshan, all he could do was allow the Unraging monk to deal with him. This was also the understanding and trust between them.
"Thank you for your trust!" Li Qingshan glanced at the plump monk before him deeply and felt rather touched. He raised the jar of alcohol high into the air.
"That punch of yours sure was vicious. Don't tell me you actually wanted to kill your master back then!"
When the Unraging monk recalled Li Qingshan's punch, he really did feel some lingering fear. Although he had guessed that Li Qingshan's true strength was very powerful, only when he had personally experienced it did he realise just how powerful he was.
"Your level of mockery is basically eighty percent as good as mine, so it's nothing strange if you want to kill your master. However, if I really wanted to kill you, you definitely wouldn't be able to make it out of the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression hall!"
Li Qingshan smiled as he drank. He was a decisive person. He would either give up or go all the way. If he really wanted to kill the Unraging monk, then that punch would have been much more than that.
In reality, he did not use a single strand of daemon qi, nor did he use any of his innate abilities.
The Unraging monk was taken aback by that as well. He studied Li Qingshan. "Just how many other tricks are you hiding?"
"I've always been this unfathomable!" Li Qingshan laughed aloud.
"I suddenly feel a little regretful. I keep feeling like you'll only cause trouble for me. Perhaps I really should seal you up in the Demon Suppression hall." The Unraging monk shook his head.
"Then I'll give you another chance!"
Li Qingshan smiled and turned around, entering the Demon Suppression hall again. He arrived on the ninth floor and sat down before the Demon Suppression statue. He wanted to use it as a foundation to completely derive the Demon War Statuary.
The Unraging monk let out a long sigh. He really had no idea whether having a disciple like him was a blessing or a curse.
Time passed quickly, and another few months passed.
"It's only eighty or ninety percent after all!"
Li Qingshan stood up. After all, he did not have the original version. The spirit turtle's derivation was already close to the limit. Even if he continued wasting time, the effects would be minimal. However, it was not like he had come out completely empty-handed. As a matter of fact, it could even be regarded as a great surprise.
"Battle Demon, appear!"
Li Qingshan bellowed out, and demon qi surged out violently, condensing into a battle demon behind him. It was much larger and more substantial than before.
"Battle Demon Possession!"
The battle demon suddenly leaned forwards, lunging towards Li Qingshan. Strands of demon qi curled and pulled him, completely merging with his body and dyeing his skin dark red. Black demonic patterns spread and wove together, filled with violence. A pair of war banners behind him was written with the two words "Battle Demon" in an unrestrained and ostentatious manner.
His expression became ferocious and ruthless, but his figure did not change much. Only his muscles became more solid and powerful, and he could feel his power surging violently. In terms of Human Cultivation alone, his strength had reached a new peak at this moment.
Originally, he could not maintain this state for too long. Not only did his demon qi deplete very quickly, but it placed an extremely great burden on his body too. However, with Li Qingshan's physique, he could endure this burden with composure.
Most importantly, the Demon Fighting Statuary and the Nine Transformations of Demons and Gods had truly fused together. It wasn't like when he cultivated the Demon Suppression Statuary in the past, where his demonic armor would be shattered in just a few moves, and it wouldn't be of much use.
If he used it at the same time as the Tiger Demon's Fury, his battle prowess would instantly rise to a new level. That would be the peak of his overall strength.
Although he could not derive the perfect version of the Demon War Statuary, he decided to use the remaining ten to twenty percent freely. Perhaps it would be even stronger than the original version.
"Battle Demon Blade!"
Li Qingshan waved his hand, and demon qi condensed into a long blade. Its shape was somewhat similar to Tiger's Fang, but it was much larger. The broad and thick blade was also curved, appearing even more ferocious.
Although this Battle Demon Blade was condensed from demon qi, its quality was somewhat similar to the Demon Suppression Tower. Its power was definitely not inferior to that of an ordinary demonic treasure. It could also change its size according to its master's will, and there was no need to worry about it being damaged.
However, Li Qingshan shook his head. Condensing this Battle Demon Blade also required demon qi and mental energy. It was not worth it under the state of Battle Demon Possession. What he needed now was definitely not just a blade of this level. It had to be stronger than Tiger's Fang.
