Chapter 78: Saber Momentum Transforms To Fire, Refining The Spirit Demon!
“Do you know me?”
Ji Qing asked indifferently.
This was in a remote gully in the North.
A bandit leader in a northern gully also knew his name?
“‘Astonishing Swan Saber’ Great Hero Ji, Fifth on the Villain Ranking, who in the world doesn’t know? I am just a bandit leader, but I was once a person of Jianghu, and I have a wanted poster of Great Hero Ji from back then, so naturally I know Great Hero Ji.”
The Great Chieftain’s tone was deferential, showing no trace of the ferocity of Pan Long Fort’s chieftain.
He knew full well how terrifying the “Astonishing Swan Saber” was.
What he had done was nothing in front of Ji Qing.
He only threatened some villages.
But Ji Qing?
Massacring villages and exterminating households was like everyday rice for him.
He slew Du Chen, killed the Poison Demon, his name resounding through Jianghu.
High on the Villain Ranking at fifth place!
People like the Great Chieftain feared those even more vicious than themselves.
Without a doubt, in the Great Chieftain’s eyes, Ji Qing was ten times more vicious than him.
He couldn’t afford to provoke him!
“I heard that Pan Long Fort had the villages below send some young boys and girls to the Mountain Ghost, is that true?”
Ji Qing asked.
“This… it is true!”
“Where is the Mountain Ghost?”
The Great Chieftain’s face flickered uncertainly.
Involving the Mountain Ghost was a dilemma for him.
If he spoke, he would die.
If he didn’t speak, he would probably die anyway.
“Mister Ji, if you spare my life, I will tell you the whole story of the Mountain Ghost matter…”
“Hoo…”
It was as if a gentle breeze brushed by.
The vast fort was suddenly enveloped in thick fog.
Seeing this, the Great Chieftain’s face changed dramatically.
“No good, it’s coming… Mister Ji, save me…”
The Great Chieftain’s face was full of terror.
But the thick fog grew thicker, and when it enveloped the Great Chieftain, faint eerie “hee hee hee” laughter could be heard.
Suddenly, the Great Chieftain stood up.
But his face now bore a strange smile.
The Great Chieftain suddenly seemed “brave.”
No longer afraid of Ji Qing.
He brandished the saber in his hand and charged at Ji Qing.
“Clang.”
Ji Qing Draw Sword.
A brilliant blade light flashed and vanished.
A zhang away from Ji Qing, the blade light instantly split the Great Chieftain into two halves.
The Great Chieftain was dead.
Blood permeated the air, emitting a thick bloody stench.
“Hee hee hee…”
Another burst of eerie laughter.
Immediately after, the third chieftain also charged madly at Ji Qing.
The result was the same, split into two halves by Ji Qing’s saber.
However, this was clearly very wrong.
“Possession…”
Ji Qing vaguely understood.
This demon could possess the bandits one by one, controlling them.
“Hee hee hee… Your martial arts are strong, you can kill one, two people, even ten, twenty people, but can you kill all of them, over a hundred?”
A strange voice came from the fog.
Clearly, this was the demon’s voice.
“Why not?”
“You’ve actually reminded me… These bandits all deserve to die!”
Ji Qing’s eyes were cold.
The bandits of Pan Long Fort all had blood on their hands, none were innocent.
Moreover, as long as even one bandit remained, the demon could possess them.
Then Ji Qing had only one way.
Kill them all!
“Buzz.”
With a thought from Ji Qing, Major Accomplishment Saber Momentum instantly Burst.
His Saber Momentum was “Heaven and Earth.”
Thus, it could transform into anything between heaven and earth.
For example, right now, all the bandits looked up.
What did they see?
Swords were actually floating in the void.
Yes, sharp swords.
This was Saber Momentum, and Ji Qing was a saber user—how could there be so many sharp swords floating in his Saber Momentum?
However, these were not real sharp swords, but illusions from the Saber Momentum.
Only on the Spiritual Level could one “see” those sharp swords.
“Fall!”
With Ji Qing’s light shout, the dense swords in the void instantly fell.
This was truly “Sword Rain” falling from the sky.
Over a hundred bandits were all enveloped by Ji Qing’s Saber Momentum, so escape was impossible.
“Ah…”
“What is this?”
“Spare me…”
The bandits were utterly terrified, because as the “Sword Rain” fell, their bodies were unharmed, but their consciousnesses were torn and extinguished by the Sword Rain.
In mere moments, the entire Pan Long Fort fell silent.
Over a hundred bandits, not one alive, all turned into cold corpses.
But these corpses had not a single wound.
From afar, they looked as if they were merely asleep.
The hunters who saw this broke out in cold sweat.
Was this still martial arts?
If it was martial arts, they had seen martial arts before, even those people of Jianghu, the hunters had seen them too.
Those Jianghu experts, whether saber technique, sword technique, or fist technique, were perhaps indeed exquisite.
But where had they seen anything like this?
Ji Qing hadn’t even moved, and over a hundred fierce bandits fell to the ground without any signs of life.
The hunters couldn’t understand Ji Qing’s “Saber Momentum,” feeling only shock and a trace of terror in their hearts.
However, the Saber Momentum Ji Qing displayed now would shock even Jianghu experts.
“Hoo…”
Another gentle breeze brushed by, bringing a piercing chill.
“You all exit the thick fog.”
Ji Qing said coldly.
The hunters then realized and hurriedly exited the thick fog.
Now, only Ji Qing remained in the thick fog.
Of course, and the demon.
The thick fog hadn’t dispersed, meaning the demon wasn’t dead yet.
“Hee hee hee, human martial artist, you are indeed formidable… But you can’t kill me…”
The demon’s voice rang out again.
Ji Qing didn’t take out the Demon Slayer’s Blood from his bosom.
He had already roughly guessed this demon’s situation.
Back then, Ji Qing had exchanged much information about demons with Chen Luo.
Among them, Chen Luo mentioned a kind of demon without flesh and blood, called Spirit Demon.
Spirit Demons were extremely strange; even Demon Slayer’s Blood could only cause them minor harm, unable to kill them.
They could only be refined with special Formation.
Or, only Demon Slayers who had refined spiritual sense could thoroughly kill Spirit Demons.
“I have no spiritual sense, but I have Saber Momentum!”
Ji Qing didn’t know the gap between Saber Momentum and spiritual sense.
However, Ji Qing keenly sensed that this demon had always been “avoiding” him, which was very strange.
This demon clearly had possession ability—why only possess those bandits and not him?
As long as it possessed Ji Qing, what threat would Ji Qing pose?
Why go to the extra trouble of possessing bandits?
There was only one possibility.
“You’re afraid of me!”
Ji Qing suddenly spoke.
The entire thick fog instantly fell silent.
Even the demon’s eerie voice stopped abruptly.
“You’re afraid of my Saber Momentum!”
“My Saber Momentum can hurt you, even thoroughly kill you!”
Ji Qing’s words seemed to drive the demon mad.
“Hee hee hee, even if your Saber Momentum poses some threat to me, so what? With this level of Saber Momentum intensity, you can’t kill me—unless it’s Saber Intent…”
The demon’s words weren’t finished.
Suddenly, clusters of Flames appeared in the surrounding thick fog.
And the flames began to burn fiercely.
The entire thick fog seemed enveloped by the flames.
“Ah…”
“What is this? You… aren’t you Saber Momentum? How can it turn into flames?”
“No…”
The demon let out shrill screams.
At the same time, the Flames grew more intense, while the thick fog thinned under the burning.
Suddenly, a massive ferocious face manifested in the thick fog.
“I Curse you to never achieve longevity, hee hee hee…”
Ji Qing seemed to see the resentment in the demon’s eyes.
However, the more hysterical and resentful the opponent became, the more effective his Saber Momentum was.
As the demon’s curse words fell, Ji Qing felt a trace of cold power enter his body.
“Sizzle.”
Moments later, with the last wisp of thick fog completely gone, the demon’s figure also vanished, leaving only flames burning in the sky.
The demon was dead!
“Killed Spirit Demon Mountain Ghost, obtained twenty Origin Point.”
A line of small text appeared before Ji Qing’s eyes.
“Twenty Origin Point?”
Ji Qing was slightly startled.
He had killed quite a few demons.
But this was the first time he obtained so many Origin Point.
And more Origin Point meant the demon was stronger.
But in Ji Qing’s view, this Spirit Demon was just a bit trickier in methods.
Its strength wasn’t particularly great.
With the thick fog dispersed, the hunters could see Ji Qing again.
Ji Qing turned around.
“Great Hero, you…”
Suddenly, the hunters’ eyes widened, as if seeing something unbelievable, their gazes full of terror.
