The wicked Zhuge Xiang
The Sky-Slaying Sword was the weapon of Liao Wufa on the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda. All the Evil Demon that were suppressed in the Evil Suppressing Pagoda were resurrected and broke through their statue-like state. In order to help Zhuge Xiang leave safely, Liao Wufa used the Sky-Slaying Sword to send Zhuge Xiang to the bottom floor of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda. However, the Sky-Slaying Sword could not be taken back. Zhuge Xiang did not expect that at this critical moment, the Sky-Slaying Sword, which was stuck on the first floor of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda, would appear.
The sword, the ancestor of all weapons, is a common sword. A sword that is four feet long is already considered good, but this Sky-Slaying Sword is a full ten feet long. Even when Zhuge Xiang uses his Demonic True Body, he is not as tall as this huge Sky-Slaying Sword. Although it still looks tattered, it is Liao Wufa's weapon after all. Its power is definitely not something that a mere Fairy can withstand.
Seemingly able to understand Zhuge Xiang's words, the incredibly powerful Sky-Slaying Sword, which was about to annihilate the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, suddenly reduced its power by more than 99% at the last moment. The sword, which was about to strike, twisted in mid-air and struck the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger with the back of the sword.
With a scream, even though the Sky-Slaying Sword had retracted most of its power and only struck with the back of the blade, the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger still possessed a force it could not withstand. The Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, sent flying, fell to the ground like a tattered sack. It struggled for a long time but was unable to get up. Judging from its appearance, even if it didn't die, it would be powerless to fight.
"So powerful! No wonder it was suppressed on the Ninth Layer of the tower. Just a sword that was almost broken, with only one-thousandth of its power, crippled this arrogant Phoenix Winged Black Tiger..." Looking at the once invincible Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, now lying on the ground unable to move, Zhuge Xiang clearly felt the terror of the Sky-Slaying Sword.
"Why? Such a minor demon. Killing him is fine." The Sky-Slaying Sword, planted in the ground, was taller than Zhuge Xiang. The sword trembled slightly, and Liao Wufa's voice rang out.
"My cultivation level hasn't broken through to the Deity Transformation stage yet, so I need a Mount like this." After releasing his Demonic True Body and Spear Intent, as well as the state of Devourer's Treasure, Zhuge Xiang spoke to the Heaven- Sky-Slaying Sword.
Although it's unclear what happened, judging from his appearance, Liao Wufa already has the ability to mobilize the power of the Sky-Slaying Sword to break out of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda.
"Very well, you've achieved such cultivation in just two years. Your growth rate is even faster than mine back then," Liao Wufa's voice, tinged with surprise, came from within the Sky-Slaying Sword. He continued, "Didn't you say back then that you could learn all nine Heavenly Demon Zen Sound within a few years? Are you going to set me free?"
"This..." Hearing Liao Wufa's voice, Zhuge Xiang was somewhat embarrassed and said, "Originally, I could quickly learn the nine Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Diagram if they were in front of me, but in the Evil Suppressing Pagoda, each floor is filled with powerful Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters. With my current abilities, I can't even get to the Fourth Layer."
Back in the Evil Suppressing Pagoda, Zhuge Xiang boasted that he could learn all nine Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Diagram within two or three years, but he really lacked consideration. If the nine diagrams were in front of him, he could learn them all very quickly with just nine Skill Point.
However, Zhuge Xiang forgot that all the Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters in the Evil Suppressing Pagoda had been released from their seals. Starting from the Fourth Layer, all those suppressed were Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters equivalent to the Deity Transformation stage. How could Zhuge Xiang possibly break through?
"..." Liao Wufa's voice did not ring out from within the Sky-Slaying Sword. Clearly, Zhuge Xiang's words indicated that he would continue to wait in the Evil Suppressing Pagoda. However, Liao Wufa could not blame Zhuge Xiang. After all, Zhuge Xiang was right. All the Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters in the tower had been unsealed. Liao Wufa himself knew that with Zhuge Xiang's abilities, he simply could not survive in the higher levels of the tower, let alone learn the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound.
Splash...
In just a few breaths, nine Chains suddenly emerged from the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda, firmly binding the enormous Sky-Slaying Sword. No matter how the Sky-Slaying Sword struggled, it could not break these nine Chains.
"These past two years, I've been conserving my strength and gathering power, but it's only enough for the Sky-Slaying Sword to break through the Evil Suppressing Pagoda in ten breaths. Regardless, you should learn the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound as soon as possible. Remember, besides the Evil Suppressing Pagoda, Heavenly Dragon Temple also has nine handwritten copies of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Diagram."
The Sky-Slaying Sword was slowly dragged into the tower by Chains. Liao Wufa's voice sounded somewhat urgent from within the Sky-Slaying Sword before it was completely pulled inside.
Back then, Zhuge Xiang learned the First Layer, Second Layer, and the top Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Demon Heavenly Demon Zen Sound by taking advantage of the fact that the seal had not been broken and that the demons and Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters were in a stone statue state.
With Zhuge Xiang's current cultivation level, he should be able to reach the Third Layer. However, Zhuge Xiang is not in a hurry to learn the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound of the Third Layer. Zhuge Xiang has more important things to do now.
"Ding! Defeat the One-Star Mid-Grade Fairy Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, gaining 3.5 million Experience Points."
The system notification sounded in Zhuge Xiang's mind, but the Experience Points were only 3.5 million, and nothing had dropped. It seemed that this was because Zhuge Xiang had used the power of the Sky-Slaying Sword. Otherwise, the Nascent Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator had given him more than 8 million experience points, and this stronger Phoenix Winged Black Tiger should have given him no less than 8 million experience points.
Even so, it was already quite good. The 3.5 million Experience Points he received boosted Zhuge Xiang's experience bar by more than half, bringing him to a point where he was not far from the Innate Realm Layer Six.
"Well? Now that you've become my Mount, you have nothing to say?" Looking down at the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, which was already severely injured and unable to move, Zhuge Xiang asked.
Wounded by the Sky-Slaying Sword, the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger was on the verge of death. Its condition was truly pitiful. The enormous Sky-Slaying Sword slammed down like a door, and it's believed that most of the bones in the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger's body were already shattered.
Although its eyes had regained their clarity, the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger's gaze still held a deep resentment. "I'm not convinced! You didn't defeat me on your own merits! I'm not convinced!"
"There aren't that many rules in the world. Anyway, I'm safe and sound now, and your life and death are in my hands. That's enough." Zhuge Xiang wasn't surprised by Phoenix Winged Black Tiger's unwillingness.
"Why bother with all that? This guy's being stubborn, just kill him. I also want to taste the flesh and blood of Fairy..." On Zhuge Xiang's shoulder, Xiao Yue's eyes gleamed as he looked the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger up and down, as if he were choosing which part to eat the best.
"Divine Sense Transmission? You're Fairy too?" Phoenix Winged Black Tiger had obviously heard Xiao Yue's Divine Sense Transmission as well, and looked at Xiao Yue in surprise, but then shook his head, "No, your strength hasn't reached the level of Fairy yet, but why do you possess Divine Sense Transmission and can also mobilize some of the power of Heaven and Earth?"
"You ignorant little cat, haven't you heard of the Ancient Divine Beast, born extraordinary?" Although Xiao Yue was not large, standing on Zhuge Xiang's shoulder, it looked down at the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger.
"Ancient Divine Beast?" The tiger, though the king of beasts, was actually Ancient Divine Beast according to Xiao Yue's words. The Phoenix Winged Black Tiger's eyes widened in surprise.
Ancient Divine Beast are born with extraordinary abilities and possess unique Divine Ability powers. Their strength is far greater than that of ordinary Demon Race. In the world of Demon Cultivator, the status of Ancient Divine Beast is like that of royalty. It is hard to imagine that the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, which looks like Xiao Dou and is inconspicuous, is actually Ancient Divine Beast.
"What? Aren't you Lord Xiao Yue?" His eyes widened, and Xiao Yue, nearing the stage of Growth Stage, exuded a faint but undeniable divine beast aura. "Zhuge Xiang, what are you waiting for? Quickly kill this little kitten and stew it for dinner, I can't wait any longer."
"Well? I'm asking you one last time, will you become my Mount, or die?" Seeing that he had scared it enough, Zhuge Xiang spoke, staring at the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger and asking.
"As Ancient Divine Beast, you serve humans as your masters, and you're just a Qi Refining Stage brat at that. You've truly disgraced all Demon Cultivator in the world!" Although shocked by Xiao Yue's identity Ancient Divine Beast, the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger remained unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, instead opening its mouth to angrily curse Xiao Yue.
"You've gone too far!" Upon hearing the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger's words, Xiao Yue was furious. Through Divine Sense Transmission, she kept urging Zhuge Xiang to kill and eat it quickly.
Zhuge Xiang's gaze gradually turned cold. He hadn't expected that this Black Tiger was such a tough nut to crack, valuing his so-called dignity more than his life. For a moment, Zhuge Xiang felt he could hardly continue.
However, Zhuge Xiang's wisdom was undeniable. His eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly stared at the crotch of the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, revealing a sinister smile.
Looking at Zhuge Xiang's smile, for some reason, Phoenix Winged Black Tiger suddenly shivered, a deep unease welling up in his heart.
"This black tiger has indeed developed a Buddha-like nature. It would be a pity to kill it. However, I've heard that tiger whips can greatly enhance male virility. I wonder if it's true or not. Today, I've happened to encounter a Tiger Demon with the cultivation of Fairy. I should really give it a try..." Staring at the crotch of the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, Zhuge Xiang flipped his hand, and an Artifact Dagger, appeared.
"Really? Then hurry up and cut it off!" Xiao Yue's eyes lit up, and she urged him impatiently, looking eager to try.
Cut the tiger whip!?
Although Phoenix Winged Black Tiger had long since disregarded life and death, upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, he still couldn't help but tremble all over, breaking out in a cold sweat. His legs clamped tightly together as he looked at Zhuge Xiang in terror. "You demon, you will die a horrible death! Kill me!"
"Kill you? No, no, no, all I need is a tiger whip to enhance my masculinity," Zhuge Xiang said, gripping Dagger as he approached step by step, the glint in his eyes making Black Tiger's heart pound with fear.
Despite having almost all its bones shattered, the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger continued to struggle frantically, trying to crawl further away. At this moment, the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger was a far cry from its previous arrogance; it resembled a pitiful kitten waiting to be slaughtered.
"Wait, no, I promise you, I promise you..." Threatened with the severing of his tiger whip, and seeing Zhuge Xiang approaching him, the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger finally broke down completely. (To be continued...)
