Testing the Demon-Revealing Mirror
As a powerful weapon used to suppress evil spirits in the imperial palace of the Great Han Dynasty, the Demon-Revealing Mirror possesses the immense power to defeat the Demon Race.
Any Yao Qi detected by the Demon-Revealing Mirror will inevitably be attacked by Demon-Revealing Mirror.
Demons will be attacked if they get close to the Demon-Revealing Mirror, let alone try to control Demon-Revealing Mirror.
As long as Zhang Xuezhou dares to reach out and grasp the Law Artifact in an attempt to control the Demon-Revealing Mirror, this precious treasure will suffer a series of blows.
"How about it?"
"Don't mess with me, I'll get beaten to death!"
Zhang Xuezhou didn't dare to try it on his own, so he called Kong Ning over.
He wanted to Jieyin the power of the Demon-Revealing Mirror, but he needed to make sure he wouldn't be killed by Demon-Revealing Mirror. After all, he only wanted to use external force to refine his physical body, and he didn't expect to suffer a continuous barrage of attacks until he died.
This requires not only determining the power of the Demon-Revealing Mirror, but also confirming its ability to escape after being attacked.
Zhang Xuezhou thought he could use the Demon-Revealing Mirror" to test Kong Ning, record the results, and then compare them with his own experience to determine the time he had endured and the distance he had to escape the influence.
Kong Ning was clearly terrified; she had come to use the Demon-Revealing Mirror to avoid disaster, not to be beaten.
Chang'an City is a place of great importance for the Demon-Revealing Mirror, and all Demon Race avoid it; this has been a long-standing belief among Demon Race.
That's why no one would have imagined that Kong Ning would live in such a dangerous area.
Upon learning that the brocade box on Zhang Xuezhou's desk contained a magical Law Artifact for controlling the Demon-Revealing Mirror, Kong Ning nearly revealed his true form and fled Chang'an City; he no longer dared to conduct the test.
"I provide you with food and shelter, and you won't even help me with this little thing?" Zhang Xuezhou complained.
"You and Yi Shuo speak exactly alike!"
Kong Ning, his face full of sorrow, touched the clothes he was wearing, then touched his stomach, feeling that the hardest debts to repay were those owed to others.
It seemed like just a place to eat and stay, but it really left her with no other options; Kong Ning couldn't find any other place that offered free food and lodging.
In short, you have to do the work you don't want to do.
"Don't worry, it's just that you were hit by the Demon-Revealing Mirror. Other demons might be fine, but you're fast enough to escape after being hit," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"I just feel it's unreasonable to be beaten like this. Why should I be the Law Artifact to take advantage of you just because you have the Demon-Revealing Mirror?"
"I'm just trying to broaden your horizons!"
Kong Ning looked indignant.
She had previously disregarded Zhang Xuezhou, but she needed to show him respect for the "Zhang Xuezhou -revealing Demon-Revealing Mirror" he controlled. Providing him with food and drink made her grateful, while controlling the Demon-Revealing Mirror was a real deterrent.
The brocade box was opened, revealing a bronze mirror about the size of a palm.
Kong Ning glanced at the bronze mirror and saw her black, three-tailed peacock head reflected in it. A chill ran down her spine instantly.
"I'm going to die!"
She cried out, then leaped towards the door, her demonic form quickly materializing as she spread her wings and soared into the sky.
In the dark night sky, a white light shot out from the East Gate Garden, relentlessly pursuing Kong Ning, who was flying away like a streak of light.
"You could improve your speed!"
The Demon-Revealing Mirror behind him possessed immense power, like a ball of flame. Every time it chased and struck Kong Ning Kong Ning, causing him pain and numbness, he had to desperately unleash his Demon Power, which in turn triggered an even more violent burst of power from the Demon-Revealing Mirror.
Hearing Zhang Xuezhou's urging voice, Kong Ning really wanted to strangle him.
"You just wait!"
She cried out, and a flash of red light appeared on her demonic tail feathers, increasing her speed once again.
However, this also means that the power of the Demon-Revealing Mirror, which makes Kong Ning uneasy, has increased. No matter how much she improves her own abilities, the Demon-Revealing Mirror will unleash even stronger power to counter her.
Despite only a few brief moments of contact, Kong Ning's tail feathers were charred, and his body was torn and bleeding.
If she cannot fly out of the range of the Demon-Revealing Mirror's attacks, these intermittent strikes will be enough to pose a fatal threat to her.
"The current flying speed is too slow, at least two levels below that of the Peacock Great Wisdom King!"
The disgruntled voices beside him urged him on, which only made Kong Ning more agitated. The divine light of the tail feathers reappeared behind him, and the Yao Qi aura of his demonic body surged forth continuously.
"If I get beaten to death, my dad will never let you get away with it!"
Kong Ning shouted, and the peacock demon body flashed with a brief brilliance before transforming into a stream of light in the darkness.
But while venting his dissatisfaction, Kong Ning was also astonished by Zhang Xuezhou's remarkably easy pursuit.
She had already unleashed her sub-speed, and Zhang Xuezhou, who was easily catching up, still had energy to spare, so he didn't care about her mere leaping speed.
"Your abilities have disappointed me a bit!"
Zhang Xuezhou's sigh was extremely hateful, and the superimposed power of the demon-revealing Demon-Revealing Mirror behind him terrified Kong Ning. She was certain that such divine light would be too much for her demonic body to withstand.
Whenever she is injured, her speed will inevitably slow down, leading to a series of devastating attacks.
Kong Ning felt she shouldn't have gotten up at night to eavesdrop. She overheard Zhang Xuezhou's furtive conversation with someone and was pulled over by Zhang Xuezhou to test the Demon-Revealing Mirror."
As her body unleashed its final burst of acceleration, Kong Ning heard Zhang Xuezhou become slightly more satisfied and begin to mention that her flying ability was only one level below that of the Peacock Great Wisdom King.
The other person's voice faded into the distance, and just as Kong Ning was about to spit out a curse, he felt a glint of light flash in his eyes.
This time, Zhang Xuezhou refrained from mocking Kong Ning and instead pointed out the flaws in his flying technique.
Although Zhang Xuezhou was recounting "The Peacock Transformation," a subject Kong Ning knew intimately, Kong Ning had to admit that her cultivation was inadequate; her understanding of this Daoist art was even inferior to Zhang Xuezhou's.
Now is not the time to study "The Peacock Transformation," but as long as the operational and flight states are corrected as Zhang Xuezhou suggested, there is indeed hope to improve her speed.
"If my dad hadn't told me to hold back and not to stand out too much, I would have gone up there already!"
Although he was Qi Ingestion, Kong Ning didn't remain stubborn and inflexible, after all, Zhang Xuezhou's coaching was indeed quite good.
The adjustment of her Demon Power gave her body a streamlined shape, increasing her flying speed by nearly 10%.
This enhancement is inferior to the demonic Divine Ability condensed from her tail feathers, but it can still provide long-term and stable benefits to her flight.
If he wasn't killed by the Demon-Revealing Mirror tonight, Kong Ning felt he had gained something; as for being killed or seriously injured, there was nothing he could do.
Numbness and tingling sensations kept surging through her mind, while a cool sensation would occasionally pass by. Kong Ning was slightly surprised, but Zhang Xuezhou shouted at her repeatedly, forcing her to focus all her attention on escaping the range of the Demon-Revealing Demon-Revealing Mirror.
"You almost died in Chang'an City, you..."
"If you want to improve your strength, you need to run like this more often!"
Only when the white light that struck his body disappeared and he no longer felt the Demon-Revealing Mirror locking him down did Kong Ning fall during his life-or-death escape.
Before she could finish her initial complaint, Zhang Xuezhou was already there, encouraging Kong Ning to practice like this more often.
"I almost died after just one run, and I even got injured. If I run it a few more times, I'm definitely going to die!"
Kong Ning argued Qi Ingestion, but when she looked back, there were no traces of injury on her tail.
The stinging burns from before felt like a dream; only a few tattered feathers remained as evidence of the demon-revealing Demon-Revealing Mirror's impact.
"You won't die!"
Dispersing the residual Law Power of the Supreme Purity True Technique in his hand, Zhang Xuezhou turned back to look at Chang'an City in the night.
The aftershocks of the Demon-Revealing Mirror had dissipated, and its power was not released again. They, like fleeting shadows, escaped the range of the Demon-Revealing Mirror's attack, but Zhang Xuezhou could still sense the lingering destructive power of the Demon-Revealing Mirror.
He felt a certain familiarity with this power, much like the immeasurable jade disc they possessed in the real world.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Demon-Revealing Mirror might be similar; this treasure might belong to the remnants of some powerful being and had become a powerful treasure that could overcome the Demon Race.
The depths of natural treasures are difficult to fathom, but the depths of living beings have limits, which gave Zhang Xuezhou a better understanding of the situation.
