Celestial Demon Starting from Attribute Points

Chapter 88: Chapter 74: The Yu Sect Saintess Worships the Evil God, Skull Flower Amid Yellow Earth in the Deep Mountains

Cao Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, oh Brother Li, you have hidden things from me to great lengths.

I always thought you were a young grandmaster, yet I didn’t expect you could hold your own against someone like Lord Wang.

I heard that Lord Wang’s skill level is not much different from Mr. Su’s before.

Your ability... really leaves me speechless."

Jin Jingsong, seeing Li Xuan had provoked Wang Fengyang, did not dare to get too close, but also didn’t want to appear neglectful, so he came forward with a smile and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother Li is truly a young hero!"

One night of search yielded no results.

The next noon, Wang Fengyang and Zhou E Li temporarily left with their men.

And the news that Li Xuan fought Wang Fengyang to a draw spread quickly.

...

...

In the Governor’s mansion.

Governor Zhou Chihe was drinking tea and watching cranes while listening to Zhou E Li recounting last night’s events.

Listening to the end, the governor smiled faintly and asked with calm indifference, "E Li, what do you think?"

Zhou E Li said, "Finished."

The governor smiled, for he surely knew the importance of the "Secret Martial Arts system."

This "Secret Martial Arts system" can be described as reaching sky-high steps with each requiring numerous tests to establish specific cultivation techniques, thereby forming the system.

The Grandmaster Realm was once the pinnacle martial artists could aspire to.

Now, beyond the Grandmaster Realm lies Secret Martial First Cultivator, Dual Cultivator, Triple Cultivator.

After "Secret Martial Triple Cultivator," a transformation can occur, entering the legendary "Demonic Form Realm."

The young one practices an unstructured Secret Martial Arts, indeed lucky or blessed, mastering two secret martial arts, but it’s futile as these two cultivations halts his progress.

He... is doomed to no further advancement.

Young hero?

Wrong step at the start, wrong step throughout.

Even would become old, maintaining the same standard, is there anything to boast about?

Zhou Chihe lightly placed the teacup aside, wiping away the froth, and suddenly said softly, "Able to cultivate two Secret Martial Arts, perhaps there’s some hidden secret?"

Zhou E Li at once seeing through, directly replied, "I know he affronts you, but Prime Minister’s collecting demon matters are more crucial.

Besides that, how many troops do you have that can safely emerge from Cyan Wood Province?

Bandits are mighty, unless you persuade Liang Shigu into dispatching his thirty thousand elite soldiers, all else won’t do."

Zhou Chihe said, "Liang Shigu too, knows not what plan he sells from the gourd, that eagle bandit already levelled a northern city, yet remains unmoved."

Saying this, he sipped tea again, suddenly said, "Then let this fearless young man live a few more days."

...

...

"The Zhou family, the Wang family, won’t truly seek to harm me because of this incident, will they?"

"Surely not?"

"So petty?"

"But if it were me, wouldn’t I resolve against those who’ve offended me?"

"No, if I die, the Li family will completely fall."

"Plan to kill me, to destroy the Li family, you truly deserve death."

"Can’t let you be left around!"

"I only came to participate in the imperial examination, why treat me like this?"

In the mountain forest, intense killing intent flashed in Li Xuan’s eyes.

He moved swiftly like a tiger or leopard, then abruptly halted.

In an unexplored area, he felt demonic Qi.

That demonic Qi was seemingly on par with his now, having a sense of rivalry, evenly matched.

And like a beast driving away another trespassing beast in territory, the surrounding mountain soil suddenly rose, emitting a strange "crack" sound.

Skeleton arms protruded from the soil, "pop" onto the ground, then fully emerged, transforming into individual skeletons.

After emerging, these skeletons still covered in earth, maggots crawling in eye sockets, retrieve rusty weapons—blades, spears, swords, shields—and approached Li Xuan.

Yet merely approached, merely drove, without attacking.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Skeletons struck bones with weapons, producing sound to repel.

Li Xuan stood unmoving, and in a moment, he directly pressed "Demonic Tiger Tai Sui" blood into the second slot.

Two tentacles instantly emerged from his pant cuffs while a copper-head, iron-arm giant appeared at his side.

Far stronger demonic Qi exploded like water in a boiling oil pan, scattering in all directions.

Instantly, the demon’s aura originally evenly matched significantly weakened nearby.

Li Xuan scattered his tentacles, lifting hands, palms manifesting small phantoms formed of demon Qi and "Demonic Tiger Tai Sui’s" unique power.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Small phantoms dispersed.

Skeletons felt it, immediately fleeing.

But it was already too late.

Small phantoms turned into pale fog directly enveloping those skeletons.

Once the fog touched skeletons, fell one by one.

This was entirely a spiritual demon skill crushing another demon skill.

The copper-head, iron-arm giant snatched a blade, a shield, rampaging like a frenzied wild horse.

And when the small skeletons contacted this giant, they were like children struck by an out-of-control carriage, "bang" flew away, scattered.

Bear in mind, Li Xuan’s attributes now are "Strength 30, Agility 36, Constitution 25, Spirit 48," thus the giant inheriting some attributes also surged up, even a Secret Martial First Cultivator standing before him likely wasn’t a match.

Moreover, this giant was a copper-head, iron-arm.

This copper-head, iron-arm wasn’t ordinary power-resistant but could withstand those of the same tier.

Simply put, even if this giant stood still, letting a First Cultivator slash wildly, might not lose a hair.

Swish swish swish...

Li Xuan’s large tentacles wriggled on the ground.

The giant with blade and shield cleared the path as if driving forward for the king.

Soon, this path was opened.

Li Xuan saw the demon creating the White Bone Demon.

That was a flower with a strange human face, its soil emanating strange corpse odor.

The flower’s human face had been tightly closed, now trying to open, showing pale pupils, looking at the terrifying tentacle demon, saying, "I’ll... leave... I’ll give this place to you."

Though said so, words were filled with immeasurable heartache.

Evidently, this land was just right for it.

Li Xuan calmly observed the human face flower demon, suddenly smiled, and said, "I’m here to help you."

He had only two "blood slots," even with more human face flower demons, temporarily couldn’t increase strength.

Human face flower demon: ???

Li Xuan concernedly said, "Do you not know your situation is dangerous now?

Last night till this morning, humans have been searching for you everywhere, aiming to kill you and take your corpse.

But they’re unlucky, failing to search here last night.

Yet today is different, according to their search trajectory, fast tomorrow morning can find you, slowly within three days guarantee find."

The human face flower demon naturally knew this matter, said, "My skeletons, many! I also have toxic skeletons!"

Toxins? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Li Xuan’s expression subtly shone, then said solemnly, "They have secret martial artists, moreover, very powerful secret martial artists."

Human face flower demon: ...

Li Xuan said, "I’ll help you, kill them, kill all! I’ll take seven you three, I want flesh!"

The human face flower demon looked at Li Xuan’s two large tentacles, felt this upper-tier demon’s aura, said, "Alright... you seven me three. But, if you eat the flesh, can you give me the bones?"
