Chapter 33: Breaking Through One Of The Extraordinary Meridians!
Demon Exorcist prominent family, Chen Luo was currently reflecting behind closed doors.
He had just returned to the Chen Family and was immediately grounded.
This was only because he had captured the Blood Demon; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been as simple as just grounding.
At this time, Chen Lin hurriedly ran to the outside of the room where Chen Luo was grounded.
Although Chen Lin had also “run out” with Chen Luo, Chen Luo was the “principal offender,” while Chen Lin received leniency and was only grounded for a few days before being freed.
“Brother, guess what news I just got?”
Chen Lin asked, panting heavily.
Her tone seemed to suppress uncontrollable excitement.
“What news?”
Chen Luo asked.
He was now grounded and could only learn about some outside news through Chen Lin.
“It’s Third Brother. He caused a huge commotion in the Jianghu. It’s said he killed Qingzhou’s top constable, Chasing Wind Blade Du Chen, right on the street! Now Third Brother has truly become famous in the Jianghu, and he’s the hottest topic in the entire Jianghu.”
Chen Lin was also full of excitement.
It seemed the greater “Ji Qing”‘s reputation, the prouder she felt.
“Chasing Wind Blade Du Chen?”
Chen Luo was also greatly shocked.
Demon Slayers and Martial Artists are actually two different systems, but not two separate worlds.
Both sides actually live in the Jianghu, with places of intersection.
Demon Slayers are often not ignorant of news and are well-versed in many matters of the Jianghu.
Therefore, Chen Luo knew that “Chasing Wind Blade Du Chen” was not someone who gained fame without merit; he was a true expert!
He hadn’t expected that his “third brother” Ji Qing could actually kill Du Chen?
“Du Chen was from the government, and Third Brother killed him publicly. I’m afraid the trouble won’t be small.”
“What is there to fear? The government and the Jianghu have strict boundaries. Du Chen was inferior in skill and deserved to be killed. Brother, don’t forget, Du Chen wasn’t a good person either; it was he who pinned the Lei Family Fort’s blame on Third Brother.”
“I really want the grounding to be lifted soon, so I can go find Third Brother and Big Sister again…”
Chen Luo yearned to set foot in the Jianghu once more.
Unfortunately, he had to be grounded for at least a few months and could only wait patiently.
……
“Heroine, spare us! We really don’t know anything about the Skin-changing Demon…”
Lei Yu, like a Meat Mountain, coldly looked at the group of bandits before her.
This group of bandits had long been scared witless by Lei Yu. The bloodstains in the bandit stronghold hadn’t even dried yet, all because they had boasted nonsense, claiming to have seen a “demon,” resulting in Lei Yu interrogating them fiercely, nearly wiping out the stronghold.
“You don’t know?”
A sharp glint flashed in Lei Yu’s eyes.
“Bang.”
Lei Yu slapped with her large hand, turning the bandit’s head into mush.
However, Lei Yu spared one bandit.
This bandit was specifically in charge of gathering intelligence.
“Is there any latest news in the Jianghu?”
Lei Yu asked.
“Heroine, the latest news in the Jianghu recently is Fifth on the Villain Ranking, Heartless Saber Ji Qing, who beheaded Qingzhou’s top constable, Chasing Wind Blade Du Chen, right on the street!”
“Heartless Saber Ji Qing? Tell me in detail.”
“Heroine, it’s like this…”
As the bandit recounted in detail the news of Ji Qing’s battle with Du Chen, a smile appeared on Lei Yu’s face.
“Not bad, it seems Old Three’s martial arts have improved again. This Du Chen was a tough character; in the Jianghu, anyone he targeted was either killed or captured. I didn’t expect him to die under Old Three’s saber…”
Lei Yu was also happy for Ji Qing.
“Now tell me about the ‘Skin-changing Demon’ news.”
“Ah? Heroine, the so-called Skin-changing Demon was just us talking big; I really don’t know about the Skin-changing Demon. Please spare me, Heroine…”
“Is that so? How many people have you bandits harmed? Since you don’t know about the Skin-changing Demon, then go die…”
Lei Yu kicked the bandit flying.
“Bang.”
The bandit crashed heavily to the ground, already a corpse.
Lei Yu then set the entire stronghold ablaze.
……
The atmosphere in Qingzhou’s Six Doors was extremely tense recently.
Ever since Du Chen’s death, Qingzhou’s Six Doors had been under immense pressure.
“Lord, Du Chen is dead, and that thief Ji Qing is so rampant? Should we continue sending people to pursue Ji Qing?”
“Who to send? Will you go? Even Du Chen is dead, which means Second-rate Experts can no longer threaten Ji Qing. As for First-rate Experts… they are needed to guard a province; mobilizing them is no easy task.”
“Forget it. This matter is beyond what Qingzhou’s Six Doors can handle. Report it to the capital’s Six Doors.”
“Yes, Lord.”
Du Chen’s death had a great impact on Qingzhou’s Six Doors.
But Qingzhou’s Six Doors currently had no solutions.
Ji Qing’s momentum was already established; in this vast world, aside from First-rate Experts, no one could do anything to him!
……
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
An Yang City, Hundred Battles Sect.
Ji Qing sat cross-legged in the Library.
Who could have imagined that Heartless Saber Ji Qing, who had caused such a huge commotion, was actually still hiding in the Hundred Battles Sect?
The most dangerous place turned out to be the safest!
Ji Qing had left An Yang City for a few days that day, then quietly returned to the Hundred Battles Sect.
Lie Yingniang’s attitude toward Ji Qing remained completely unchanged.
She did not distance herself from him because of his “demon” identity.
Therefore, over these three months, Ji Qing had been diligently practicing martial arts in the Hundred Battles Sect’s Library.
“Boom.”
Suddenly, a rumbling sounded within Ji Qing’s body, and his Internal Energy surged like a torrential flood, instantly breaking open the “Impulse Meridian.”
This was one of the Extraordinary Meridians.
With the Impulse Meridian opened, Ji Qing’s Internal Energy also surged violently.
Ji Qing opened the Demon Record to check his own information.
Ji Qing: Second-Rank Martial Artist（ One Extraordinary Meridian opened）
Supreme Yang Pure Origin Art: Perfection（ Supreme Yang Internal Energy, Internal Energy Burst with Three-Tenths Amplification, Internal Energy Purification）
Astonishing Swan Saber: Perfection（ Signature moves: First Line of Sky, Shocking Force, Accumulating Momentum）
Grass on Flying: Perfection（ Signature move: Borrowing Strength from the Void）
Origin Points: 0 points
Ji Qing had opened one Extraordinary Meridian in just three months, which could be called divine speed.
But Ji Qing still felt it was very difficult.
This was still the relatively easier-to-open Impulse Meridian.
If it were other Extraordinary Meridians, the difficulty would be even greater, possibly taking a year or half a year to open.
Second-Rate Internal Energy Art was already an urgent matter for Ji Qing!
Ji Qing needed a Second-Rate Internal Energy Art, and he also needed Origin Points!
Without Origin Points, even a Second-Rate Internal Energy Art would be useless.
“Whoosh.”
A figure silently slipped into the Library through the window.
The other party was dressed in black with a face covered, but had a distinctive feature: only one ear.
It was none other than Listen to the Wind Tower’s “One-eared.”
“Pa.”
“One-eared” tossed down a Token, with a Note attached to it.
Ji Qing picked up the Token.
The Token was a credential, representing An Yang City’s Listen to the Wind Tower.
As for the content on the Note, Ji Qing unfolded it.
“Upon success, one Second-Rate Internal Energy Art! If failed, nothing.”
Ji Qing raised an eyebrow.
“Shopkeeper Yu has such boldness, finally willing to offer a Second-Rate Internal Energy Art? This must be a big job, right?”
Ji Qing looked up at “One-eared.”
“Great Hero Ji, this job is indeed not easy. It not only involves some internal competition within Listen to the Wind Tower, but also requires absolute martial prowess to suppress everything! Of course, the most crucial point is that one must know how to exorcise demons!”
“And for exorcising demons, who could be more professional than you?”
“One-eared” explained in a fawning manner.
