Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 55 Copying the True Meaning
Absurd village.

Broken limbs and broken arms were scattered in piles.

Four figures intersect crazily.

The fists and feet collided, making a dull sound like thunder.

Facing the siege of three corpse boys alone.

Qi Xiu's eyes were sharp, and his red sand palm and swallow flying movements were at their peak.

At this moment, every time we fight, we fight each other.

It's like a hammer hitting an iron embryo, and the insights that emerge instantly are like sparks.

Wave after wave of supernatural power burst out from his body.

Every cell, organ, flesh, and bone is cheering for joy, sucking in this magical energy.

Strengthen yourself and improve your cultivation.

The scent exuding from the pores of the body is changing every moment.

It's like Xiaocao who has pressed the fast forward button.

Growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the fights get longer and longer.

Qi Xiu's movements became more calm and calm.

The power of his palms was stronger than before, the inner energy rushing in his body became stronger and stronger, and the vague outline of a mysterious thing began to vaguely appear in his mind.

From the beginning, you must concentrate on dealing with the siege of the three-headed corpse boy.

Until now, he was holding down three corpses of a boy by himself.

Qi Xiu fluttered his sleeves and waved his palms, moving the clouds and flowing water.

The three-headed corpse boy was beaten back continuously, and the frequency of the corpse-control bell ringing became higher and higher.

Ding--

The corpse control bell that sounded again stopped strangely.

It was like being forcibly cut off.

Without the magic of controlling the corpse bell, the corpse boy whose neck was shattered by Qi Xiu's palm squirmed a few times and fell into deathly silence.

"It seems that Yuan Baiyi's side is finished."

Killing the other two corpse boys three times, five times and two times, Qi Xiu was surrounded by white smoke, and his sweat was evaporated by the high temperature, making him emerge from the dust like an immortal coming from the clouds and mist.

As he spoke, a stream of light flew back from a distance.

Holding a bloodstained, withered fox head, Yuan Baiyi was covered in scratches, and many tiny jade fragments could be seen vaguely in his hair.

"How about it?"

Qi Xiu glanced sideways at Yuan Baiyi.

You've never been beaten like this?

"The Jade Bodhisattva demon wanted to escape, but was pinned by my Xuan Chong sword and couldn't break free. Later, it burned itself to death.

The fox demon's head was found in its hiding place. "

Shaking the fox head in his hand, Yuan Baiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

The Jade Bodhisattva self-destructs, and the fox demon consecrates his head.

This time, the demon slaying was quite acceptable.

It's just a pity that he couldn't capture the Jade Bodhisattva.

"Exploded?"

Hearing this, Qi Xiu was stunned, his eyes moved slightly, and his eyes showed a strange color.

He fought against Jade Bodhisattva several times.

He knew that that thing was as cunning and insidious as anyone else.

I didn't expect that I would be so determined to self-destruct in the end, and I didn't want to fall into the hands of Yuan Baiyi.

"Thanks to Brother Qi for helping me this time, Yuan will be very grateful after returning to the city."

With the fox head tied around his waist, Yuan Baiyi raised his hand and cupped it towards Qi Xiu.

If Qi Xiu hadn't followed him in this operation, Nie Xun's life would have been lost.

And if Xiu didn't work together to block these three corpse boys.

There are these thick-skinned, fearless, and endlessly resurrected monsters blocking the way.

He may not be able to crucify the Jade Bodhisattva and force it to explode.

"Hey, the brigade commander is too kind."

Smiling and waving his hands, Qi Xiu shook his sleeves and looked at Yuan Baiyi curiously:
"Do you still have real skills?"

Yuan Baiyi: "..."

I'm being polite.

You are so welcome.

……

The wind blew the dust and rolled up streaks of yellow sand.

The figures of Qi Xiu and the other two people outside the village gradually drifted away until their figures were about to disappear on the horizon.

A crystal clear jade eye fragment stood quietly on the roof of the deserted village.

Silently watching the backs of Qi Xiu and the others.

……

……

"I finally broke through to the next level." Qi Xiu, who was stained with color, rubbed his sour eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

The floor of the house is almost covered with all kinds of drawing paper.

Pile it up in a thick layer and make a rustling sound when you step on it.

It took 18 days.

Building tall buildings from low ground, Qi Xiu finally achieved a breakthrough in his [Painting] skill.

"There are still twelve days left in the month agreed with Yuan Baiyi."

Stretching his stiff body, Qi Xiu slowly moved his fingers.

Five true skills.

Yuan Baiyi gave him one month.

When the time comes, he can only choose one of them to keep.

All the rest must be returned to the West Wind Army.

But give back what you get.

Who is willing?
If you don't want to give it back, you can only find a way to make a copy.

And the difficulty of re-expanding true power.

It lies in the true intention.

The true intention itself is an abstract picture with special meaning.

Ordinary copying can only produce an abstract painting with nothing but surface.

Only by stepping into a painting can the special meaning and magic contained in it be reproduced.

"Twelve days, excluding the one I can keep, it will take about three days to reprint a volume of true intentions.

It's not easy. "

A painting of one scene can copy the true intention.

But it is very reluctant and needs to be carefully crafted and traced bit by bit from the details.

If you make a mistake, you have to start over, otherwise it will affect the effect of your true intention.

"There is no other way, just draw."

Rubbing his eyebrows, Qi Xiu stood up and brought a large amount of ground colors, pigments, and some small ores from the inner room.

After the fox demon and jade bodhisattva were killed.

The West Wind Army lifted the blockade of Baohe County, allowing caravan trade to resume.

Otherwise Qi Xiu wouldn't even be able to buy enough paint.

Dipping his pen into color, Qi Xiu opened a piece of tanned animal skin paper.

The true intention contains magic. Ordinary paper cannot withstand it and will easily crack and curl. Only the more flexible animal skin paper can leave traces of paintings.

laugh--

As soon as he made his first stroke, Qi Xiu's brush suddenly started to smoke.

As if it was ignited, sparks were visible to the naked eye, and the fire continued to grow.

He quickly pressed the brush into the bucket nearby.

The lights went out.

Qi Xiu stared at the burnt pen tip and smiled dumbly.

Yes, copying the real intention is still a high-risk job.

The true intention contains the supernatural. The process of copying the true intention is equivalent to standing in front of the supernatural. One mistake may cause the supernatural to counterattack.

It's easy to burn the brush.

Seriously, it may even trigger a supernatural backlash, which is no less than a blow from a warrior of the True Inspiration Realm.

Realizing the danger of copying the true intention, Qi Xiu put all his energy into copying.

To avoid further accidents.

……

"Commander of the Brigade, the demon-slaying seal has been sent back to the military town.

In addition, a letter was sent from Huangtan Prefecture, hoping that we could set off for Qingliu County and join the Kanglong Army stationed there. "

The adjutant handed a letter to Yuan Baiyi.

"Qingliu County? The Qingliu County that defeated the Golden Flower Mother Cult rebels some time ago?"

Holding the letter, Yuan Baiyi narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, according to reports, after the Golden Flower Mother Cult was defeated by Li Jiufang, the magistrate of Qingliu County, another rebel army was mobilized from the main altar with the intention of re-attacking Qingliu County.

Huangtan Fuyin is currently mobilizing all forces to go to Qingliu County to jointly fight against the Jinhua Mother Cult rebels.

In addition to us, the Tongtang Army and the Huaye Army who were performing demon-slaying missions in other counties all received letters from the governor. "The adjutant reported slowly.

"The movement is getting bigger and bigger."

Looking at the letter in his hand, Yuan Baiyi tapped his fingers on the table.

"Commander of the Brigade, if this happens, I am afraid that Jie Town will also pay attention to Qingliu County, and even... change the itinerary for this reason."

"That's right, all the armies will probably take action after hearing the news.

This is why Huangtan Prefecture Yin dared to bypass the military town and send a private letter inviting us to Qingliu County. "

Leaning back slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, Yuan Baiyi gently rubbed the sword on his waist.

Qingliu County...
