Chapter 264: The Demonic Body Grows Rapidly
Cao Shaoqin and his four main men were killed in an instant, but Cheng Long did not stop there. He raised his hand and gently threw the bloodthirsty bead upwards. The bloodthirsty bead sensed the master's will and pierced through the roof like a cannonball, leaping into the sky and hovering a hundred feet above.
The next moment...
"what happened?"
"My body is out of control!"
"Me too……"
"Help……"
"Look, there is a blood-red bead in the sky..."
"Damn, the rumors are true..."
Surprise, fear, panic, all kinds of sounds came from all directions.
At the same time, the eunuchs of the East Factory who assisted the tyrant, as well as the underworld people hired by Cao Shaoqin, all floated upwards uncontrollably.
Before this, some eunuchs of the East Factory with high status were looking forward to the magic doctor curing the governor and the four big bosses, and then providing them with help so that their babies can grow back. They fantasized about becoming healthy men and having sex with the women in the dungeon and enjoying the fun.
They never imagined that the magic doctor invited back from afar by Eunuch Jia would start killing people without any warning and without any reason.
This was unexpected by everyone.
There were about 400 official members of the East Factory, more than 100 "banzi", more than "datou", more than shift managers, foremen, and office managers, as well as supervisors, thousand-householders in charge of punishment, and hundred-householders in charge of punishment.
But including the Black Cavalry Team privately raised by Cao Shaoqin, there were more than 1500 members of the East Factory who were controlled by the Bloodthirsty Pearl at this time.
Although there may be some people whose crimes do not deserve death.
However, Cheng Long has already taken care of so many things and killed so many villains. What's the harm in mistakenly killing some guilty people whose crimes do not deserve the death penalty?
Judging from the style of the East Factory in the past few years, once the news of its destruction is disclosed, those who have not committed crimes punishable by death will find it more painful to live than to die.
Killing them all together can actually save this small group of people from suffering.
Cheng Long only needs to keep his original heart, punish evil and promote good, and everything else will be a small problem.
After all, his main purpose in cultivating magic and accumulating merits was to avoid becoming a demon who killed people indiscriminately, was bloodthirsty, massacred cities at will, and caused cholera in a country.
After counting the interest.
The blood-sucking bead, which had absorbed so much blood, fell into Cheng Long's hands.
With just one glance, Ning Zhongze was frightened into a cold sweat by the evil aura emitted by the Bloodthirsty Pearl. If she had not decisively turned her head to look out the window, she would have most likely lost her mind.
"Sister Ning, let's go!"
Cheng Long put away the bloodthirsty bead, stepped forward and patted Ning Zhongze's shoulders, with a faint smile on his face. He planned to go back and find a quiet place to absorb the more than 2000 blood essences stored in the bead.
Otherwise, the next time you use the Bloodthirsty Pearl, you might accidentally hurt your teammates.
His 'Aning' almost got into trouble just now.
Only Ning Zhongze has experienced a lot and has a strong will. If it were Yue Lingshan, Lin Pingzhi, Lu Dayou and the like, they might be corrupted by evil thoughts and become crazy.
Of course, the evil nature produced by the blood-sucking bead after absorbing all the essence and blood has difficulty affecting Cheng Long. It even undergoes a qualitative change because of the host's unwavering righteousness.
In the past, when storing the blood and essence energy of dozens or hundreds of people, Cheng Long would be impatient to empty the reserves to prevent the Bloodthirsty Pearl from exerting its true demonic effect.
Nowadays, he can store thousands of people's blood and energy at a time. At the highest point, Cheng Long had stored the blood and energy of five thousand people.
This also proved that his determination to follow the Tao had become extremely strong.
……
at dusk.
As a group of ragged women and several officials in prison uniforms walked back to the city from the East Factory, which was located dozens of miles outside the suburbs, the news that the East Factory was destroyed by the evil doctor spread to every corner of the capital as if it had wings.
Brothel.
Tavern.
Street vendors.
Official residence.
People are talking about this everywhere.
More than 1500 people died outside the city for unknown reasons, causing the emperor in the palace to panic.
Although the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very wary of the East Depot, which was difficult to get rid of, the East Depot was ultimately a knife in his hand. The evil doctor destroyed the East Depot, which was equivalent to melting his knife.
However, no matter how angry the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was, he did not dare to issue an order to capture the evil doctor.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard has brought accurate information that, apart from the martial arts arena, there are no signs of fighting in the East Factory. Even in the building where Cao Shaoqin lives, all items are intact.
If it weren't for the various kinds of mummies lying all over the East Depot headquarters, the Jinyiwei people would not have believed their eyes.
What does the absence of signs of a fight mean?
But anyone with a little experience in the martial arts world would understand that this was an instant kill that would only occur when the difference in strength was too great.
Killing more than 1,500 people in an instant, it makes one's scalp tingle just thinking about it!
This……
Which department dares to take charge?
Which stakeholder dares to retaliate against the witch doctor?
The person in the palace didn't dare to say a word because of this. Even though people from many organizations such as the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Imperial Guards had already found out the inn where the evil doctor was staying, no one dared to come and inquire about the relevant matters.
It’s just that when some people are worried, others are happy.
When the righteous people in the court received the news of the demise of the East Factory, they all smiled so hard that they couldn't stop.
For example, the Minister of War Yang Yuxuan, who has always been frugal, added several big dishes tonight. Not only did he ask people to dig out their treasured girl's red wine, he also called over the chief coach of the imperial guards Zhou Huaian, and Qiu Moyan, who is quite famous in the martial arts world.
"Come on, come on~~ drink, drink..."
Yang Yuxuan, whose face was flushed from drinking, personally filled Qiu Moyan's glass and said excitedly, "Moyan, what the magic doctor did is very satisfying. I have long been annoyed with those thugs in the East Factory. They rely on their strength and don't even listen to the emperor! In the court, if anyone speaks ill of them, they will be arrested and tortured by the East Factory."
"Sir Yang, I wonder if you have ever considered that the East Factory's actions of suppressing loyal officials and excluding dissidents may be tacitly approved by the emperor?" Qiu Moyan has been in the capital for some time and accidentally discovered some clues. He always feels that there is another hidden story behind the East Factory's statement of "threatening the whole world and ordering all officials".
The power of the East Factory originated from the imperial authorization.
Even if the East Depot became bigger, it would be impossible for it to escape the control of imperial power, unless the eunuchs inside and outside the palace united and worked together to undermine the emperor and turn him into a puppet.
But in fact, their emperor is very free. He even went to the Summer Resort for an outing a few days ago, and Lord Yang in front of him was one of the entourage.
Yang Yuxuan, Zhou Huaian and others are undoubtedly loyal ministers.
The reason why Yang Yuxuan was targeted by the East Factory might not be as simple as writing a memorial requesting the closure of the East Factory. The bigger reason might be that he had been in charge of the army for too long and his subordinates were too loyal, which made the emperor feel uneasy.
Yang Yuxuan's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Don't say anything nonsense. If this gets out, you will be beheaded."
"Sir, there are only you and me here, no need to be nervous. Mo Yan is a man of the underworld, used to speaking quickly, please forgive me." Zhou Huaian glanced at Qiu Mo Yan. He had known Qiu Mo Yan for such a long time, but he had never seen him so bold, even daring to speak nonsense to the emperor. "The underworld is not without taboos, and the emperor is not something we can discuss."
"Master Yang, I was just speaking casually."
Qiu Moyan raised his glass and drank it all.
It is not difficult to see from Yang Yuxuan's attitude that the other party is not completely unaware and is just pretending to be confused most of the time.
The atmosphere was silent for a while. Yang Yuxuan drank a few cups and said, "Mo Yan, can you invite the magic doctor to my mansion? I want to make friends with him."
"I'll try, but there's no guarantee he'll come."
"Then it'll be hard work."
……
Under the cover of night, Cheng Long's figure flashed like a ghost. In a short while, he came from the brightly lit capital to the deserted suburbs a hundred miles away.
Then he found a hidden cave and took out the shiny black bloodthirsty bead.
A murderous atmosphere instantly filled the surroundings.
Cheng Long sat down slowly, the bloodthirsty bead floated upwards and slowly rotated. Every time it rotated, a large amount of blood mist would be emitted, condensing into scarlet blood rivers in the air, pouring into the body from multiple positions such as the top of the head, chest, back, and abdomen.
These blood and energy were like spirit snakes, swimming around in his body and nourishing every cell in his body.
The strengthening process is painless and there are no groans that could stir up any imagination.
As early as in the world of killers, Cheng Long had already been able to absorb blood and energy to strengthen his body without making any sound. It was actually not too difficult to achieve this.
As long as you have strong enough willpower, you won’t be afraid no matter how much blood and energy are sucked away.
As time went on, a fanatical light gradually flashed in his eyes.
Soon, soon...
Suddenly, Cheng Long's body shook violently, and a powerful hot breath gushed out from him.
Nourished by blood and energy, his body expanded rapidly like a blown-up balloon, rapidly rising from the normal 10 meters to more than meters high. His muscles were as tight as steel, and his skin was covered with blue veins and blood vessels, looking hideous and terrifying.
However, Cheng Long didn't care about it at all. He opened his arms and roared to the sky, as if announcing his strength to the whole world. The blood in the bloodthirsty bead surged into his body more violently, constantly nourishing his growing demon body, bringing his physical fitness to its peak.
At this moment, Cheng Long seemed to no longer be a human being, but a real demon god who controlled the power of life and death.
After practicing to this level, he can actually break away from being a human and call himself a demon god without any problem.
After all, the Five-Powerful God in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio couldn't even defeat Cheng Long in the Jindan stage, let alone now.
……
[Host: Cheng Long]
[Realm: Middle Nascent Soul Stage (23.33%)]
[Kung Fu: Killing Technique (slightly accomplished)]
[Spells: Seven-star Soul Nailing Spell, Sleeping Spell, Substitute Spell, Corpse Refining Spell, Ghost Exorcism Spell, Puppet Spell, Soul Devouring Spell, Water Arrow Spell, Paper Cutting Spell, Breath Suppression Spell...]
[Magic Powers: Mediate the Creation, Call the Wind and Rain, Fire of Nirvana]
[Magic Weapons: Bloodthirsty Pearl, Magic Knife, Soul-Nourishing Jade, Soul-Gathering Banner]
[Demon servants: Mengna, Ah Zhui, Scar Red, Liu Piaopiao, Bai Ling (spirit), Jingjing, Ren Tingting, Dr. Sala (Xu Dandan), Mochou, Hu Feifei, Bai Susu, Bai Huahua]
[Demon Servant: Zhang Yi, Wang Jianjun]
"Haha, Susu and Huahua also signed the devil's contract! It turned out to be the right thing to do to leave two contracts for Feifei before leaving..." At around three o'clock in the morning, Cheng Long, who had sucked out all the reserves in the bloodthirsty bead, habitually opened the system panel and saw a pleasing scene.
Feifei's two sisters, Bai Suzhen and Huahua, took the initiative to sign the devil's contract because they missed her.
At this point, the three fox sisters all fell into his hands. He could make them into a round shape or flatten them as he pleased.
However, Cheng Long did not summon them.
After signing the devil's contract, the master and servant can sense each other's presence in the dark, and there will be early warning if either party is in danger. Feifei said that the spiritual energy in the fairyland of Liao Zhai world is quite abundant. The three sisters can practice for one day in heaven, which is equivalent to ten days on earth.
Since the system does not yet provide repatriation services, there are only two options after summoning the demon servants who remain in the original world.
One is to stay in the world of Xiaoao, and the other is to follow Cheng Long to the main world.
Summoning the three fox sisters now would be equivalent to ruining their future.
After all, the cultivation environment in both the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer and the world of Hong Kong Variety Show is far inferior to that in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, not to mention the fairyland in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, which is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy.
"The demon body has grown from nine meters to more than ten meters. Its body has grown by more than one meter, but its cultivation has only increased by a few percent. It's too slow. Isn't this forcing me to go on a killing spree?"
After Cheng Long was happy, he noticed that his experience bar only increased by a few percent, and he suddenly felt a headache.
Although he had killed more than two thousand people since he came to this world, it was just a drop in the bucket for him now. If he wanted to significantly increase his cultivation, he had to kill tens of thousands of people. Otherwise, any time he practiced, his progress would be slow.
This made him wonder, if he went to the Marvel world and snapped his fingers on behalf of Thanos, killing half of all living beings in the universe at once, then would he be able to immediately jump out of the Three Realms, out of the Five Elements, and become the free and easy Daluo Jinxian?
"Oh~~ Why think so much? With my current ability, even if I am qualified to snap my fingers, I can't absorb the souls of half of the creatures in the universe..."
Cheng Long shook his head, clearing away all the messy thoughts.
The next moment, he left a trail of afterimage like the Flash and appeared five miles away.
The demon body broke through to ten meters in height, and the speed of its regular body also soared. It only took twenty or thirty breaths to cover a distance of hundreds of miles, which was as fast as lightning.
When he returned to the upper room of the inn, Ning Zhongze, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes alertly, and after smelling the familiar scent, he closed them again.
Cheng Long noticed this scene, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, quickly took off his coat, rubbed his hands and feet, and lay down.
Less than a minute after lying down, he habitually put his arms around Madam Yue's waist and held her in his arms, and then his other hand uncontrollably grasped a high point...
"This bad guy!"
Ning Zhongze, with his back to Cheng Long, had blushing cheeks. He wanted to push him away, but was reluctant to do so.
For a moment, I felt very confused.
She didn't know what happened, but she ended up sleeping in someone's arms for three nights, even though they didn't do anything and at most she was taken advantage of by the man like now.
But she just likes the special scent of Cheng Long, which makes her feel at ease.
On the one hand, she likes to have close contact with Cheng Long, but on the other hand, she feels that it is wrong to do so.
Just as Lady Ning was daydreaming, someone secretly reached into her bellyband, and a huge ball of snow was rapidly changing shape...
