Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror (Perfection) +
Unique Passive: Inner Viscera resilience +30%, can offset attack damage +15%, self-healing speed +30%, defense power +200% when on the brink of death, enter a state of feigned death.
After achieving perfection with these two External Forging Skills, the passive boosts they provided to Qin Yuesheng were quite exceptional, especially the last passive attribute of the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror, which seemed quite intriguing.
If Qin Yuesheng ever faced a deadly peril, he might just escape with the help of this passive skill.
Unlike the Vajra Iron Form, there was an additional ’+’ sign after the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror.
Qin Yuesheng reached out and tapped it.
[Do you wish to consume 2000 points of All-Purpose Essence to enhance ’Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror. Inner Strength Chapter’ to the first level?]
"Can’t I just learn it directly?" Qin Yuesheng was quite conflicted.
At this moment, he felt like someone who went to eat and found out he forgot to bring money, feeling rather awkward.
Clearly, as long as he consumed 2000 points of All-Purpose Essence, he could unlock the first level of the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror’s Inner Strength Chapter, and then he would be a master in the Inner Power Realm.
Probably, no one in this world could enhance their strength realm faster than Qin Yuesheng.
Having trained in martial arts for less than a month, he had already achieved Outer Forging Perfection, and whether or not he would become a martial artist in the Inner Power Realm was just a matter of time.
If this were known to martial artists who only achieved Outer Forging Perfection in their thirties or forties, they might storm off crying.
Achieving Outer Forging Perfection is truly not that easy!
Seeing a few young fox demons fleeing in panic after the giant fox died, Qin Yuesheng immediately took out his portable throwing knives and threw them.
Each one hit their necks, killing them on the spot.
Walking to the body of Zhao Zijin, which was already bitten beyond recognition, Qin Yuesheng shook his head in regret, took off his outer garment, covered Zhao Zijin’s body, and then left.
Just like Bai Hao thought, now was not the time to collect corpses for these people. The real great demon hadn’t been eliminated, and they didn’t know how to escape this eerie place, taking a corpse would only be a burden.
...
Along his way, Bai Hao had killed many fox demons and living dead. With his strength, apart from the fox demon named Master Huang Si, no one was his match.
Besides killing Master Huang Si, another purpose of this trip was to find his disciple. He was sure that Zhang Wan’Er was still somewhere in this water village.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Bai Hao felt a vibration from his waist. Upon looking down, he saw it came from his waist pocket.
"Could it be..." Bai Hao took out his Exorcism Toad, and on the glazed disc, the malice index had broken seventy and was still rising rapidly upward.
"The fox demon is nearby." Bai Hao thought to himself as he looked around.
The Exorcism Toad had a range for detecting malice, and despite killing so many fox demons and living dead before, the Exorcism Toad never reacted so strongly.
Bai Hao leaped onto the rooftop and began searching with the Exorcism Toad.
He was not Qin Yuesheng or the others; having fought Master Huang Si before, Bai Hao was confident that as long as it was one-on-one, he had no problem defeating Master Huang Si.
Perhaps he found the right direction; the index on the back of the Exorcism Toad had already surpassed one hundred and fifty. Bai Hao then stopped on top of a wall.
It was a courtyard, elegantly arranged with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums, complete with green bricks, stone lamps, and a tank of carp, making it a nice place to live.
Placing the Exorcism Toad back, Bai Hao jumped into the courtyard, rarely taking out his signature weapon.
Nunchaku.
The nunchaku had ends made of dog-blood black stone, extremely hard and possessing a decent ability to ward off evil. Each end was also embedded with a fine iron spiked ball, specifically for armor-piercing.
There were two houses in the yard, and Bai Hao headed straight for the largest one.
Creaaaak!
However, before he could get close, the door was already opened from the inside.
Out came a charming woman in a pink robe, with a white lotus embroidered on the cuffs and collar.
"Who are you? Why are you intruding into someone’s courtyard?" the woman asked.
Bai Hao replied, "Where is Master Huang Si?"
"What Master Huang Si, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Bai Hao lunged forward, his nunchaku spinning like a windmill as he hit the woman.
Facing the assault, the woman had no choice but to fight back, but the moment her arms came into contact with the nunchaku, they shattered and became useless.
"Ah!" the woman screamed, her appearance immediately transforming from a delicate face to a yellow-furred fox face.
"Hah!" Bai Hao let out a cold laugh, swung the nunchaku, and the head hit the woman’s forehead, creating an instantly visible bloody hole.
"Master Huang Si! If you don’t want more of your kin to die, come out immediately, or else all the foxes here will die today," Bai Hao shouted.
"You’ve been defeated by me twice, and yet you dare to come to die again," came a distant voice from the house, ethereal and vague.
Bai Hao was furious upon hearing this: "You shameless enough to say such crap? If it weren’t for your helpers interfering the last two times, could I not beat you? I’d have skinned you."
Whoosh!
A freezing wind blew, and three claw-like silver hooks were already in front of Bai Hao.
The speed is unimaginably fast.
Buzz!
But when it was about five fingers away from Bai Hao’s eyes, the claw suddenly halted, as if frozen, unable to advance even an inch.
Bai Hao sneered, knowing that with his Inner Strength protecting him, even if this Fox Demon was faster, it couldn’t harm him.
This is the reason why an Outer Forging Perfection martial artist cannot defeat an Inner Power Realm martial artist.
An Inner Power Realm martial artist can channel their Inner Strength out of the body, forming a protective layer on the body surface, with considerable defensive power.
Bai Hao immediately counterattacked, his double staves swiftly rotating, sweeping at the fox-faced old demon in front of him.
Master Huang Si dressed as a county man, with two long strands of beard hanging down the sides of his mouth to his chest, and a pair of drooping eyes that appeared extremely sinister.
Bam bam bam!
The nunchucks constantly collided with Master Huang Si’s claws, the sound was exceptionally forceful.
Master Huang Si’s long claws were no ordinary thing; battling Bai Hao’s nunchucks for dozens of rounds, he didn’t show any weakness.
Demons possess special advantages that humans do not, such as speed, strength, or reaction ability, depending on the demon’s original form.
As an old Fox Demon who has cultivated for years, Master Huang Si’s strikes were naturally as swift as a hurricane; if facing an Outer Forging martial artist, they would certainly struggle against him.
But the one standing before him now was not an Outer Forging martial artist, but an Inner Power Realm martial artist from the Seven-Star Surveillance.
Bai Hao knew well Master Huang Si’s weaknesses, having fought him twice before, considering clearly beforehand what tricks to use.
After continuously blocking Master Huang Si’s claws, Bai Hao suddenly executed a new move, and the double staves in his hands vaguely manifested two snakes in purple and blue, striking upwards and downwards. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
With unstoppable momentum, they hit Master Huang Si’s chest and abdomen.
Master Huang Si let out a muffled groan, his expression twisting noticeably.
Bai Hao accelerated the rotation of the nunchucks, simultaneously channeling his Inner Strength, sweeping the front area like a storm.
Big Wind Stick Skill—Gale and Tempest!
Countless staff shadows lingered in the air; the moment Bai Hao took action, the building where Master Huang Si stood instantly half-collapsed, smashed to dust in the sea of shadows.
And enveloped by the storm of staff shadows, Master Huang Si was in extreme misery, for in just the blink of an eye, he was struck at least a few hundred times. It was a real beating!
"Haha! Today is truly thrilling." Bai Hao had brought the Big Wind Stick Skill to its peak, wielding the nunchucks with such speed that his hands produced residual shadows, not to mention how many strikes he could deliver with each blink.
Master Huang Si suddenly dropped to the ground, his back arched high, and a fluffy big tail immediately emerged from his county robe.
Bai Hao instantly became wary; these demons often have life-saving techniques and should not be underestimated. There have been instances in the Seven-Star Surveillance where members wielding Exorcism Toads and even Copper Toads sacrificed due to underestimating demons driven to desperation.
"Roar!" Master Huang Si raised his head, bearing his fangs. In an instant, his body swelled up like being inflated, the county robe shattered, revealing his true form.
It turned out to be a fox with sparse skin and bald fur.
Swish!
The large tail suddenly folded like a fan, instantly transforming into three, becoming three tails.
Legend has it that a Fox Demon grows a new tail every time it breaks through a stage in cultivation. Master Huang Si having three tails makes him a formidable variant.
Bam!
The three tails swung, causing a fiery mist to burst forth, all rushing towards Bai Hao.
Bai Hao calmly pointed the nunchucks forward, and two strong gusts of wind met the fiery mist head-on, the two forces colliding fiercely.
Some fiery mist overflowed, drifting to other areas of the courtyard.
Soon, the plants in the courtyard were scorched and withered, the previously elegant garden transformed to ruins in an instant.
Boom!
In the center of their clash, a turbulent force erupted, forcing Bai Hao and Master Huang Si to simultaneously fly back from where they stood, leaving a massive pit where they had been, the eruption leaving most of the courtyard uneven and shattered.
Bai Hao looked at his chest, burned with a hole, his clothes gone, and couldn’t help but gape.
He never expected that Master Huang Si could conjure flames out of nowhere; it seems that in their two previous encounters, neither of them had used their full strength, including this old fox.
Now Master Huang Si lay on the ground, his body already swollen to the size of an adult horse.
Surrounded by fiery mist, which wasn’t actual flames but intensely hot crimson smoke.
"Roar!" Master Huang Si leaped fiercely with a whirlwind of fiery mist, like a blazing band rushing towards Bai Hao.
"Good timing." Bai Hao called out.
He didn’t hesitate, directly using the final technique of the Big Wind Stick Skill.
Whirlwind of Destruction!
Just then, numerous small foxes and humanoid foxes wielding weapons, along with mindless walking dead, quickly climbed over the walls outside the courtyard.
Seeing this, Bai Hao’s expression changed instantly, becoming much more somber.
"Damn it! You brought accomplices again!"
"I never stopped you from bringing in reinforcements." Master Huang Si’s eyes showed intense killing intent, as he lunged to bite Bai Hao’s neck, his sharp teeth no weaker than refined iron.
"Lord Bai! I’m here to help you!"
Suddenly, Qin Yuesheng’s voice rang out from outside the courtyard.
