There's no need for paper talismans; you can draw them directly in the air using your mental power.
He's just a swindler; finding him couldn't be easier.
So you were here!
Xu Long sneered. He thought the old swindler would leave, but he didn't expect him to dare to linger in the city.
They opened the window and sped towards the target, quickly finding it.
At that moment, the old swindler was packing his things, preparing to escape.
The paper figures are gone, the clay figures are gone, but that doesn't matter; we can make new ones in no time.
But that minotaur was different!
That was the treasure of his sect, created by successive sect leaders who spent countless resources and time, and continuously improved and enhanced it, making it stronger than ordinary Blood-Changing Realm.
And because of its enormous size, even ordinary Organ-Replacing Realm methods can't handle it.
It should be noted that the Organ-Replacing Realm Stage is the end of a martial artist's potential, yet this minotaur was able to fight head-on against a martial artist in the Organ-Replacing Realm Stage, which shows just how powerful he is.
Unfortunately, Xu Long's strength far exceeded his imagination; only the heads of powerful families and kings could rival him.
"Old man, where do you think you're going?"
Xu Long sneered, not giving him a chance to speak, and directly strangled Soul Searcher.
I initially thought he was just an old conman, but I never expected to get such an unexpected reward.
There's no need to mention the old swindler's name, but his identity is rather interesting.
The current leader of the Azure Origin Cult is also the only one still alive.
The Azure Origin Cult, backed by the demon weasel, was once extremely powerful.
They weren't exactly utterly wicked, but they were pretty close.
However, a demon is still a demon. The weasel patriarch's strength had reached a critical point, and he urgently needed a large number of blood sacrifices to improve his cultivation.
However, due to his agreement with the Good People Bureau, he dared not eat people indiscriminately, so he set his sights on the Azure Origin Cult under his command.
The Good People Bureau forbids noble families from cannibalizing people at will, but it doesn't say that those people would offer themselves up.
In an effort to curry favor with their master, the Azure Origin Cult gathered all its members and, except for the sect leader and the elders' confidants, executed them all.
Such shamelessness and cruelty, such ruthless and earnest expressions of loyalty, did not earn the praise of the aristocratic family heads, but rather even more insidious killings.
Because there isn't enough blood food; we're still a little short!
In the eyes of powerful families, what is the Azure Origin Cult? It's not even as good as a dog.
Since I need them, I might as well kill them all.
The cult leader, all the elders, and his confidants were all dead, except for the old swindler who had gone out for fun and luckily escaped with his life.
Without a powerful family to rely on and lacking real strength, the old swindler resorted to using a few minor magical tricks to deceive and cheat people.
If he were a magnanimous person, it wouldn't have been a problem, but the old swindler was mean-spirited and petty, which resulted in him offending Xu Long.
"Under the pressure of extermination, humans are easily driven to extremes. The Azure Origin Cult is unlikely to be an isolated case; there must be many. Unfortunately, humans despise them, and demons treat them like beasts. What's the point?"
Xu Long sighed and ignored it.
He was going to find the Marquis of Youzhou to see what kind of person he was.
Since he is called the Marquis of Youzhou, he must be hiding in Youzhou.
These kings and nobles appeared and disappeared without a trace, and were extremely powerful. Even the heads of aristocratic families would lose more often than they would win against them.
Therefore, even knowing their location, the Good People Bureau and the aristocratic families still did not launch an attack.
Besides, unlike noble families, kings and nobles don't really need to eat people, but their henchmen are constantly killing.
The difference between royalty and aristocratic families lies in their ability to communicate, while royalty are inherently hostile to all living beings.
Unable to communicate, and unwilling to communicate.
"This should be it."
We traveled at a leisurely pace in the aircraft and arrived at our destination at dusk.
This is a desolate mountain, surrounded by a thick, eerie atmosphere, as if vengeful spirits are wailing.
Using his mental power, he quickly located the point where the Yin energy was converging.
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly summoned the Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram.
A terrifying amount of energy gathered, and Xu Long even crushed several High-Grade Spirit Stone in the process.
The massive sniper rifle was aimed at the target, Xu Long pulled the trigger hard.
boom!
The shock and impact instantly created a huge crater.
A terrifying, sinister aura suddenly burst forth, catching Xu Long off guard and covering his face completely.
That is to say, if it were anyone else, even a martial artist at the Blood-Changing Realm Organ-Replacing Realm realm, they would instantly turn into a dried corpse.
Who is it!
A furious roar, filled with boundless malevolence, suddenly erupted from the ground as a dark gray shadow sprang forth.
This is the Marquis of Youzhou, one of the most powerful princes and marquises in the entire Great Tang.
This desolate mountain was once a mass grave, where unclaimed corpses from dozens of miles around were dumped, and even the bodies of those who died during several plague outbreaks were buried there.
Over time, it attracted countless evil spirits, and was eventually taken over by the Marquis of Youzhou.
However, the situation is different now.
The dense, yin energy was no longer his haven, but a nightmare that brought him death.
Following the sniper rifle, came Spiritual Qi Bombardment.
Xu Long gathered all the energy within a radius of dozens of miles and unleashed a barrage of attacks.
Rumble!
Although the evil spirit kings live on yin and evil energy, they can still be injured when bombarded by a massive amount of yin and evil energy.
It's like humans love to eat pork, but if you get hit by a pig, you'll be half-dead even if you don't die.
The Marquis of Youzhou felt much the same way at that moment!
To absorb evil energy on a daily basis, one needs to accumulate it little by little.
But now, it's hitting them head-on.
Before the Marquis of Youzhou could even speak, his mouth was stuffed full.
If it were someone with a conscience, they might give him a chance to catch his breath.
However, Xu Long's fighting style has always been so aggressive; if he can kill them all at once, he will not waste a single second.
Rumble!
The Spiritual Qi Bombardment, once it begins, will not easily stop.
Having reached this level of cultivation, it can no longer be killed by one or two instances of injury.
Some of the stronger ones might not be killed even after days and nights of bombing.
Of course, this refers to people like Flower Lord and Xu Long.
Flower Lord's true form is hidden elsewhere, and she fights using a projection, so it doesn't matter if she's blown up hundreds of times.
As for Xu Long, he is purely hard and capable of absorption.
Even a heavenly tribulation couldn't kill him, let alone a mere Spiritual Qi Bombardment.
Those who can be killed by this move are basically weaklings.
Damn it! Damn it!
The Marquis of Youzhou roared frantically, but it was to no avail.
The gathering of evil energy caused him considerable damage, but it also spontaneously repaired itself.
But it was truly frustrating!
Who could stand being inexplicably pinned to the ground and brutally beaten?!
Xu Long, on the other hand, is like a scumbag.
Completely disregarding the anger and murderous intent of the Marquis of Youzhou beneath him, he simply continued to smash down relentlessly.
Time flies, and a quarter of an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.
The surrounding evil energy had completely descended into chaos and could no longer be utilized, so Xu Long stopped.
His gaze was fixed on the Marquis of Youzhou. Although he didn't know what the Marquis of Youzhou was like before, he was definitely much better than he was now.
His body was tattered and torn, like a lump of rotten flesh, making it impossible to tell what was inside him.
You! You deserve to die!
The hoarse voice came from nowhere, but the murderous intent seemed to solidify into a tangible form.
The Marquis of Youzhou's body kept twisting and turning, trying to return to its original state.
Unfortunately, Xu Long was never one to play by the rules. After Spiritual Qi Bombardment, he pulled out his World-Breaking Blade and slashed.
Yin energy is one of the most powerful forces in the universe, far exceeding yang energy.
When night falls, the yang energy disappears without a trace, and the yin energy envelops the earth.
Even as the sun rises, the yin energy still lingers in many corners.
Evil spirits and kings feed on malevolent energy and are naturally incredibly powerful.
Even the heads of powerful families are unwilling to confront them head-on, which shows just how difficult they are to deal with.
However, in front of Xu Long, they were no different from demons.
"Tch, what is that?!"
As the light approached, the Marquis of Youzhou snorted disdainfully and stretched out his newly recovered right hand to grab it.
As one of the most powerful kings in the world, he had experienced countless battles.
An attack like Xu Long's would have no chance of hitting him.
Besides, this desolate mountain is his territory, which has accumulated countless yin energies over thousands of years, so even if his body is damaged, he can recover quickly.
However, reality was far crueler than imagined. Only after the Power of Oblivion invaded his body did the Marquis of Youzhou realize what fear truly meant.
"No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The piercing howls were extremely tragic in the darkness, like those of vengeful ghosts or vengeful spirits.
And it wasn't just one, but thousands or tens of thousands screaming at the same time.
Almost visibly, the Marquis of Youzhou's right hand disappeared rapidly, reaching his shoulder in less than a breath.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Marquis of Youzhou severed one-third of his body and quickly darted to the side.
Having gone through countless battles, I still have that much courage.
If we don't separate soon, we might never have another chance.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you targeting me? And what was that power just now?"
Seven eyes stared at Xu Long, and they asked in voices even more grating than a quack's.
Evil spirits and kings fear most the vital energy and blood, and the power of the sun, which contains abundant yang energy.
Unfortunately, even if a martial artist reaches the level of the Blood-Changing Realm Organ-Replacing Realm, he is still a weakling in the eyes of kings and nobles. The sun, on the other hand, has no consciousness, making it much easier for him to evade.
The malevolent aura emanating from kings and nobles can corrode a person's vital energy and blood; touching it will lead to death.
The princes and nobles were arguably the greatest enemies of the Good People Bureau, causing far more casualties than the aristocratic families.
But Xu Long is different!
The Oblivion formed by the Fusion Power of Extreme Yin, Absolute Yang and Power of Extreme Yang, Absolute Yin restrains all fancy tricks.
Dealing with mere kings and nobles is not difficult at all.
The arrogant and conceited Marquis of Youzhou was afraid, because Xu Long had the ability to kill him.
The Marquis of Youzhou is roughly human-shaped, but there are also significant differences.
Take the eyes, for example!
Ordinary creatures exist in pairs, but he had seven.
Three on the head, two on the chest, and one each on the stomach and left shoulder.
The seven eyes are not symmetrically distributed, and they even move around.
If it were someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, they probably wouldn't be able to resist gouging those eyes out and putting them back on.
"I am... a human..."
Xu Long did not explain his identity, because there was no need to.
The word "human" alone says it all.
As expected, after hearing Xu Long's words, the Marquis of Youzhou stopped asking questions.
Humans and kings are natural enemies. Xu Long's claim to be human makes it clear that he is determined to fight to the death.
"In that case, let's go!"
Marquis of Youzhou roared and began frantically absorbing the surrounding evil energy.
After the previous Spiritual Qi Bombardment, all the evil energy within a radius of dozens of miles was gathered here.
Some of it was consumed, some was transformed, but it was no longer suitable for living beings to absorb.
Because these evil energies are currently too violent, like freshly cooked pork; if you put it in your mouth, you'd probably burn off a layer of skin.
However, kings and nobles are not living beings and seem not to care.
"Awooo! Die!"
As the violent, malevolent energy was drawn in, the originally hoarse voice completely transformed into a beastly roar.
The seven eyes turned blood red, and the aura emanating from the Marquis of Youzhou began to become chaotic, as if he had lost his mind.
"Ha, is that all? You want to turn yourself into an idiot before fighting the enemy?"
Xu Long chuckled and, wielding the World-Breaking Blade, prepared to destroy this wretched thing.
However, the next moment, something miraculous happened.
Instead of confronting Xu Long head-on, the Marquis of Youzhou turned and fled into the distance at an extremely fast speed.
Xu Long: "???"
What's going on?
They were so arrogant just a moment ago, acting like it was a fight to the death, why did they run away?
Judging from his disheveled appearance, it seemed he had used every ounce of strength he had.
Actually, one shouldn't mock the Marquis of Youzhou; anyone in that situation would have to run away.
It doesn't matter if he can't win; with his strength, he can hold out for a while.
Even if he were besieged by the knights of the Good People Bureau and the heads of noble families, he was confident that he could hold out for a while.
But the Power of Oblivion is no match; as the strongest power in the Three Realms, it can suppress all fancy tricks.
A single blow forced him to sacrifice a third of his body; what if he were to receive a few more?
With sufficient Yin energy, the king's body can recover quickly.
Even if it's cut into pieces, it can be quickly restored.
However, immediately after being hit, the Marquis of Youzhou realized that this was not the case.
That part of his body disappeared, completely and utterly vanished.
It wasn't about being divided or scattered, but about being lost forever.
The Marquis of Youzhou felt fear, a fear he had never experienced before.
If you don't run now, you might really have no chance to escape.
He disdains dealing with humans, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.
Inhaling the violent, malevolent energy will cause some damage, but not inhaling it will certainly lead to death.
The Marquis of Youzhou knew exactly what choice he should make, and even feinted a shot along the way.
Xu Long thought he was going to fight to the death, but instead he turned and ran away.
"You think you can run away from me?"
Seeing the Marquis of Youzhou disappear quickly, Xu Long sneered and leaped after him.
Having traveled all this way, it wouldn't be right not to kill a monster to liven things up.
As the first king he encountered, Xu Long planned to use him as a sacrifice to the innocent humans who had died.
The sword light danced, resembling a stream of light.
Xu Long sped off, catching up in less than three breaths.
"How is that possible!"
Sensing the terrifying killing intent emanating from behind, the Marquis of Youzhou was nearly driven mad. He never expected Xu Long to be so fast.
Sizzle!
The sword flashed and instantly landed on the Marquis of Youzhou.
