Chapter 13 Slaying the Rat Demon King and Gaining Supernatural Powers
Chapter 13 Slaying the Rat Demon King and Gaining Supernatural Powers
Inside an abandoned house in Hangzhou.
A rat as big as an ox sat cross-legged like a human, muttering to itself.
Surrounding it were seven mortals who had already fainted.
As the rat demon chanted his incantation, these mortals stood up stiffly, like puppets on strings.
White essence, like a trickle, flowed slowly from its mouth and nose toward the rat demon.
As the essence gathered, countless mysterious auras gradually rose from the rat demon's body.
The rat demon's vitality continued to increase, and its fur became even shinier, with a purplish-black sheen shimmering on it.
Clearly, this demon has reached a critical moment for a breakthrough.
As time passed, the auras of the seven mortals grew weaker and weaker.
At a certain moment, a crisp sound suddenly rang out from the rat demon.
Snapped!
Then came a crackling sound, like popping beans.
Upon closer inspection, the rat demon's fur was constantly rippling, vaguely forming a black robe.
Light flowed from the claws, transforming them into hands resembling those of a human.
The rat demon is already in the process of transforming into human form!
"The initial transformation takes an extremely long time, usually not being truly completed until around midnight."
"After midnight, I will be a great demon!"
"I don't know why, but I feel a little panicked this time."
"To avoid any unforeseen complications, we should improve as soon as possible!"
The rat demon is able to sense the cultivation of heaven and earth, so it naturally trusts its intuition very much.
Therefore, we dared not delay.
As he spoke, the rat demon directly mobilized its magic power and blood energy, trying to forcibly accelerate the transformation process.
Although doing so will reduce one's defense, it will greatly increase the speed of transformation.
As the energy and magical power surged, the rat demon's fur shimmered with an unusual luster.
Under the light, the glossy fur transformed into a jet-black robe.
The limbs also continued to stretch out, supporting the robe.
On its head, facial features gradually took shape, and its thick, dark neck became as white and slender as that of a human.
"Just a little bit more..."
Swish!
Just as the rat demon was about to completely transform into human form, a sword beam suddenly appeared in the void!
A flash of cold light appeared, heading straight for the rat demon's neck!
The rat demon was terrified!
As a demon about to become a great demon, its divine sense was extremely sharp, yet it had no idea where the sword light before it came from.
Could it be that a peerless sword immortal has descended?
The rat demon dared not be negligent.
He strained his legs to escape, but suddenly felt a strange aura completely suppressing him.
"realgar?!"
The rat demon was momentarily stunned when it suddenly felt a chill on its neck!
Then blood splattered everywhere!
"Clumsy swordsmanship!"
As the leader of his clan, the rat demon naturally had extremely high standards.
From that sword strike, it's clear that the opponent wasn't a swordsman of any skill; rather, he was just relying on brute force to wield the sword.
Despite being injured, he is not without a chance.
However, his method of concealing himself was indeed profound.
Even though the rat demon investigated carefully, it still couldn't find the opponent's presence.
The rat demon covered the wound on its neck to stop the bleeding, while carefully sensing its surroundings.
A moment later, another sword beam slashed down!
The rat demon took the sword light head-on, and at the same time, following the direction of the sword's light, it opened its mouth and spat out!
puff!
There was only one sound, but no fluctuation.
The rat demon seems to be just trying to scare people.
But only the rat demon knew that it had used its clan's strongest supernatural power—the Heart-Piercing Constipation!
This supernatural power is extremely well hidden; unless one understands its intricacies, there is absolutely no way to evade it!
According to the information transmitted by the supernatural power, the rat demon had hit its target with one strike!
At this point, the opponent will be completely paralyzed and will have no chance to draw their sword.
"Heh, how foolish! How dare you oppose me!"
The rat demon clutched its neck, suppressing its dwindling life force, and walked toward its opponent.
The rat demon hates the feeling of being in the dark while the enemy is in the light. Now that it has suppressed its opponent, it must kill it!
Therefore, even though it was already very weak, it still did not choose to flee.
At this moment, a strange light curtain finally appeared in the void in front of the rat demon.
The blurry figure gradually came into view.
The rat demon looked at the figure before it and finally felt at ease: "Heh, you actually dare to oppose me? Do you even know the divine power of my race...?"
Swish!
Before the rat demon could finish speaking, another sword beam slashed down!
At this moment, he was seriously injured and his magic power was depleted, so he was completely unable to dodge.
His physical body was directly severed by the sword light!
"Why...why..."
The rat demon's head rolled off, its eyes filled with disbelief.
The opponent finally revealed his true form, a young man wielding a sword.
It was Xu Xian!
Xu Xian looked at the Rat Demon King's head and murmured, "[Heart-Piercing Tuberculosis] is extremely well-hidden; apart from sealing its mouth and nose, there is no way to resist it."
"How...how did you know...?"
Xu Xian looked at the Rat Demon King's head and shook his head: "As expected of a monster about to reach level 21, its physical body is tough enough!"
Xu Xian said something the Rat Demon King couldn't understand, and then stabbed the Rat Demon King between the eyebrows with his sword.
Thus, the Rat Demon King fell!
[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for killing a level 20 rat demon, Dao Qi +20]
[Congratulations to the player for acquiring the supernatural power [Heart-Piercing Constipation] (Green)]
Xu Xian looked at his harvest and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"We finally won."
"With my current level of magical power, it is difficult to maintain the Small Heavenly Circuit Hibernation Technique for a long time."
"Using supernatural powers also requires a lot of [mana]."
"Next, we should focus our upgrade efforts on [Mana]."
"The level 20 rat demon is not known for its defense, but it still managed to withstand three sword strikes before finally dying."
"We also need supernatural spells that can break through defenses."
"The young Commander Zuo will be arriving in Hangzhou soon..."
Xu Xian put the Rat Demon King's corpse into his purse and sped off towards home.
He calculated the time with great precision and successfully avoided Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.
After arriving home, he lay in bed and leveled up his character.
He has been practicing diligently every day recently, which has brought his Dao Qi to a level of 16.
With the 20 points of Dao Qi gained from slaying the Rat Demon King, it's enough to level up.
Name: Xu Xian
[Level: 7]
[Physical Fitness: 34]
[Mana: 21]
[Divine Sense: 18]
【Perception: 2】
[Luck: 23]
[Technique: Yin-Yang Harmony Technique (Blue)]
[Supernatural Powers: Small Heavenly Circuit Hibernation Technique (Blue) Heart-Piercing Constipation (Green)]
[Treasures: Realgar White Sword (Green), Rat Demon Pouch (Green)]
[Dao Qi: 16]
After the upgrade was completed, the empty magical power within Xu Xian's body was restored to a trickle, flowing continuously through his meridians.
He lay in bed feigning sleep, while mentally rehearsing the supernatural power [consumption].
Xu Xian only had two points of comprehension; even though he had obtained the method of supernatural powers, he could not immediately master it.
Unlike the Yin-Yang Harmony Method or the Small Heavenly Cycle Hibernation Method, which are usually perfectly activated or aided by a master, the [Heart-Piercing Constipation] requires solitary cultivation.
"A green-quality divine power takes about a month to master..."
Xu Xian muttered to himself for a while, when suddenly he heard a rustling sound coming from outside the door.
Bai Qing is back.
Bai Suzhen thought Xu Xian was asleep, so she didn't disturb him. Instead, she took off her clothes and quietly lay down beside him.
Xu Xian pretended to turn over and hug Bai Suzhen.
The wooden bed creaked and groaned...
