Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Soldier Refinement Method - Moving Flowers and Trees! (Please Subscribe)

The Lingming Deer King, fallen!

With the enormous deer head rolling to the ground, the aura of this Great Demon quickly faded away until it vanished completely.

It seemed as though from the beginning to the end, it never realized that it would be beheaded by Qin Zheng here.

Even at the moment before its fall, the thought lingering in its mind was that it could not let Qin Zheng escape.

Unfortunately, it was incapable of achieving that.

Qin Zheng’s chest rose and fell slightly, as he exchanged large amounts of air with the outside world while his lungs contracted.

He could feel that this Deer Demon was probably the limit of his current battle power.

If the opponent had been any stronger, perhaps he would not have been able to slay it.

Qin Zheng stared at the enormous body of the Deer Demon below him, took a few steps forward, came next to the deer’s head, and wielded his sword to extract the Demon Core.

The steaming Demon Core fell into his palm, and at the same time, the Merit Scroll above Heart Sea gently trembled.

[Item Discovered: Deer King’s Demon Core, can be refined, requires one jin of merit, proceed with refinement?]

[Note: Refinement will yield Soldier Refinement Method: Moving Flowers and Trees]

Soldier Refinement Method...

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Beyond martial arts and talent, there was now an additional Soldier Refinement Method.

He silently voiced in his mind, "Refine!"

Hum!

The Merit Scroll trembled slightly, and a jin of merit was deducted from it.

At the same time streams of information swiftly flowed into his mind.

The so-called Soldier Refinement Method was a technique for forging weapons!

It was even rarer than Inner Strength, especially the "Moving Flowers and Trees" that Qin Zheng had just acquired.

This Soldier Refinement Method allowed one to strengthen a weapon without adding any other materials, using only the essence of flesh and blood as the foundation!

The flesh and blood of the Demon race was the best for this!

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed as he lifted the Ghost Head Greatsword in his hand and plunged it into the body of the Deer Demon in front of him, simultaneously starting to practice this Soldier Refinement Method.

Hum!

The Ghost Head Greatsword trembled and then, as though breathing, began to greedily draw in the essence of flesh and blood contained within the vast body of the Deer Demon.

Streams of blood essence overflowed and swirled around the Ghost Head Greatsword, creating quite a shocking sight.

...

Shi Xinhan.

The Great General of Camp Geng, the sole Great Grandmaster within Yongan County.

Perished at the hands of the Lingming Deer King.

When a group of Demon-Slaying Colonels reached the summit of Cloud Clear Peak and saw the colossal body of the Deer Demon, as well as the corpse of Shi Xinhan within the Green Phoenix Sword Sect.

No matter how shocked or unbelieving they felt inside, they had to accept the reality.

And this information quickly spread throughout the entire Yongan County, even throughout all of Qingzhou!

The fall of a Great General who commanded one of the ten great military camps was an event that could shake the entirety of Qingzhou!

Various forces were shocked, indifferent, or curious, all waiting to see how this situation would develop.

After all, a Great General who guarded a county had perished at the hands of a Great Demon.

If the following response wasn’t a thunderous fury to uphold the authority of the Demon Slayers,

other Great Demons might very well follow suit, continuously testing the limits of the Demon Slayers, which would be extremely detrimental to the stability of Qingzhou.

However, at the same time that this news was released, there was also another piece of information that came out.

It was that Wei Wuji, the General of Qingzhou, had taken a new direct disciple.

His name was Qin Zheng, who, when faced with danger, had taken on the mission to head to Yongan County and had slain both the Lingming Deer King and a Green Hill Fox Demon.

With the strength to kill two Demon Saint Realm Great Demons in one battle, he had stabilized the perilous situation in Yongan County.

He also deterred many other Great Demons that harbored ill intentions.

Moreover, some observant people discovered that this direct disciple, who dominated two Demon Saint Realm battles, was the same one who had slain a member of the Quanyang Gao Family not long ago!

In just a few months, he had progressed from fighting a Grandmaster Realm to slaying Demon Saint Realm Great Demons!

With such a dramatic and immense improvement, it’s no wonder that the Demon Slayers of Qingzhou, even at the cost of offending the Quanyang Gao Family, protected him.

No wonder the Commander-in-chief of Qingzhou, Wei Wuji, took him as a direct disciple, becoming the sixth one!

With such talent, as long as he did not die young, it was almost visible to the naked eye that before long, a Martial Saint might emerge in the land of Qingzhou!

Martial Saints, the pillars that stabilize a nation!

This is why they are also known as National Martial Saints!

Therefore, as these two pieces of news spread rapidly, Qingzhou was stirring with undercurrents in a short period of time.

...

Yongyuan County, Lin Yuan City.

When the news arrived, Wei Wuji was in the inner courtyard studying scriptures in a bookhouse.

After hearing of Shi Xinhan’s demise, he fell silent for a brief moment before sighing.

These Great Generals in the field, they too were once his direct disciples!

By Wei Wuji’s side, his five direct disciples gathered, all with serious expressions as they looked at him.

Not only had that Lingming Deer King killed Zhang Rujian, swaggering into the Green Phoenix Sword Sect under disguise.

But also, it had conspired with other Great Demons to entrap Shi Xinhan, and the Fox Demon even continued to impersonate Shi Xinhan, sending out a plea for help to Lin Yuan City.

Such actions truly show no regard for Demon Slayers!

It’s downright arrogant!

Fortunately, our junior brother acted swiftly upon arrival, seeing through the Fox Demon’s disguise and slaying it with his move.

He then rushed to the top of Cloud Clear Peak and within the Green Phoenix Sword Sect, he killed the Lingming Deer King.

These actions have deterred the other monsters, upholding the dignity of Demon Slayers.

However, with the Great General who defended an entire county having fallen, the subsequent tasks are not as simple as just killing those two Great Demons.

Demon Slayers must make another move, at the very least to eradicate all the monsters within Yongan County!

Only by showing the world mountains of corpses and seas of blood built by those monsters can the monsters understand the consequences of provoking a Demon Slayer!

It’s just that...the Cangyuan Dragon Lord’s transformation is imminent.

At this moment in Lin Yuan City, neither the Commander-in-chief Wei Wuji, nor the eldest disciple Su Zimo, nor the second disciple Xiang Qingyu, can leave.

The only ones able to act are the fourth disciple, Fuyu, and the fifth disciple, Xu Qingling.

"Divert the tiger away from the mountain..."

After a few moments of silence, Wei Wuji slowly spoke.

The five direct disciples were by no means fools. Upon hearing this, they immediately understood the meaning behind Wei Wuji’s words.

Xu Qingling’s expression turned grim as she immediately said, "Does that old mudfish really have such clout, to make so many Great Demons act on its behalf?"

Whether it’s the Four-handed Ape King near Lin Yuan City, the Green-scaled Fish King, or the Lingming Deer King and Green Hill Fox Demon of Yongan County.

These Saint Realm Great Demons all seemed to be exerting effort continuously for the Cangyuan Dragon Lord’s Dragon Transformation.

When did the Demon race become so united in effort?

Before Wei Wuji could speak, his eldest disciple Su Zimo said, "It’s not just about the Cangyuan Dragon Lord himself..."

As he spoke, his expression became more somber, as he continued, "There must be a Demon race Great Saint from the Mo Xu Mountain Range nodding to take action!"

At these words, everyone’s expressions first tightened, the rare panic surfacing as they unanimously turned their gazes towards Wei Wuji.

This Commander-in-chief, who suppressed a county, nodded slightly, affirming Su Zimo’s earlier words.

"The Dragon Lord is just one step away from its transformation. If successful, the Demon race will gain another Great Saint."

"Under such circumstances, other Demon race Great Saints will naturally take action, both to strengthen the Demon race’s power and to do a favor for that old mudfish."

Having received his confirmation, the direct disciples fell silent.

Dealing with the Great Demons within the Qingzhou region alone was already exhausting them, and if those Great Saints of the Demon race were to take action...

The outcome was beyond even their imagination.

However, at that moment, Wei Wuji spoke again, "Don’t worry. With the National Martial Saint’s deterrence, those Demon race Great Saints dare not step even half a step inside Great Jin’s borders."

"Even if they want to assist the Dragon Lord, at most they will send their own Great Demons into the Qingzhou region to divert my attention and energy, allowing the Dragon Lord an opportunity to transform and ascend."

Speaking thus far, he paused thoughtfully before continuing, "Qin Zheng’s swift elimination of the two Great Demons deterred the other Great Demons. However, I fear his actions will not deter that interested Demon race Great Saint."

After speaking, he lifted his gaze towards Fuyu and said, "I will write a letter shortly. Fuyu, you will take it to the Capital City with the utmost speed and request the assistance of an expert from the Taiwu Academy."

"We can no longer afford to keep the Dragon Lord alive."

Then he looked towards Xu Qingling and continued, "Qingling, take a few Minor Generals with you and head to Yongan County to support Qin Zheng in stabilizing the situation."

"Since that Demon race Great Saint has taken action, it will not stop just because two Great Demons are dead. There will certainly be more Great Demons crossing the border."

"Tell Qin Zheng to prepare. He might not be able to return before the expert from the Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution arrives."

"Additionally... inform Camp Jiazi, Camp Yi, and Camp Bing to dispatch a portion of their forces to Yongan County to eradicate the monsters there!"

Upon hearing the orders, both Fuyu and Xu Qingling immediately acknowledged and, without any hesitation, turned and left.

There was no time to waste in such an urgent situation!

In the study, Xiang Qingyu lightly furrowed his brows and a few moments later said, "Master, why not let me go out?"

With the crisis in Qingzhou just emerging, he still remained within the confines of Lin Yuan City, feeling like he had strength to spare but nowhere to use it.

That Four-handed Ape King, although strong, knew its limits, and there would not be too much trouble with Fuyu and Xu Qingling handling it.

If he and his senior brother Su Zimo were to leave Lin Yuan City and head to Yongan County, they would certainly have a much larger deterrent effect!

Upon hearing this, Wei Wuji glanced at him, then stood up and exited the study.

As he left, his voice lingered, "You and Zi Mo get ready. When the right time comes, join me in heading down the river to slay demons!"

He was keeping his two strongest disciples back, not to deter that Four-handed Ape King.

But to have them participate in the hunt of the Cangyuan Dragon Lord!

Hearing Wei Wuji’s words, Xiang Qingyu was initially stunned and didn’t react.

"Let’s go. Whatever injuries you have, do not play the hero. Get your junior sister to heal them swiftly."

It was then that Su Zimo’s voice reached his ears.

And suddenly, realization dawned on him.

He opened his mouth to say something.

But in the end, he fell silent, leaving the study together with the others.

A single thought kept revolving in his mind.

Could it be that even Master can’t suppress that Dragon Lord?
