Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 476 - 421: Buff Stacked!

"Are you okay?"

Having slain Su Nan with a single strike, the terrifying, world-annihilating thunder flowing around Dongfang Qing’s body gradually receded. He reverted to his usual indolent and leisurely demeanor and turned to address Gu.

"Okay my ass! If you had been half a step later, we all would have died here."

Gu made no effort to hide his ire as he cursed at Dongfang Qing, scratching his head while nearly spraying saliva onto the face of the Shenxiao Sect’s Sect Master.

"How could such a major incident occur without notifying me..." Dongfang Qing spread his hands helplessly, his gaze falling on Qi Xiu, who was still in a state of comprehending techniques.

"Notify you? How? Everything above the fifth level was sealed off by those six. One could enter but not leave. If this kid hadn’t stumbled in by chance, a true catastrophe would have occurred."

Glancing at the residue left by Su Nan’s disintegrating body, Gu pondered for a moment, "What do you plan to do with the other five?"

"Killing one is killing, and slaughtering five is slaughtering. They harbored evil intentions and degenerated into demonic beings; they cannot be allowed to live."

Lifting the Tianxing Sword, Dongfang Qing flicked the blade lightly. Amidst its faint, resonant hum, a chilling murderous aura inexplicably turned the surrounding void bone-chillingly cold.

"Sigh, so be it. They brought this upon themselves. It’s just a waste of this foundation." With a short sigh, Gu didn’t particularly care about the fate of these Soul Law Spirits.

What concerned him was that with the death of these six Soul Law Spirits, the Shenxiao Sect’s foundation would diminish somewhat.

"It’s no waste. I’ve already discussed it with the Baohuang Sect. We’ll use these six Soul Law Spirits as material to forge a Soul Weapon. Big Brother’s aura has been growing increasingly turbulent lately, showing signs of Dao Charm and Dharma Glow, indicating an imminent breakthrough. Once this Soul Weapon is forged, it will be perfect for him. Two birds with one stone."

Hearing that Dongfang Qing had already arranged everything, Gu nodded with a smile, "You little rascal, always ensuring you don’t suffer any loss. I bet even if those six hadn’t rebelled, you would’ve found an excuse to toss them into a furnace for treasure forging." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"We’ve nurtured them for so many years, only for them to become a menace. Back when Master was undergoing his tribulation, he ordered those six to act as protectors. Yet, at the critical moment, they harbored malicious intent and refused to exert themselves, causing Master to be gravely injured. If I hadn’t been negotiating with the Baohuang Sect all these years, I would have slaughtered them long ago to appease Master’s spirit in heaven. These mere practitioners of unorthodox ways, still hoping to refine techniques into sainthood... Heh, utterly ignorant of their own limitations."

Dongfang Qing’s eyes were calm, yet they held a terrifying iciness; he had long harbored a grudge for the evil deeds of these six Soul Law Spirits. Now that his elder brother, Dongfang Xiong, was on the verge of another breakthrough, possibly soon stepping into the realm of a Primordial Spirit True Honor, killing these disloyal and unrighteous Soul Law Spirits in exchange for a Soul Weapon for his brother was the perfect solution.

"What you say is reasonable. Forget it; kill them then. They weren’t good creatures anyway. But without the six of them to suppress the Hall of Myriad Laws, I’m afraid the Dharma Spirits in this hall will cause an uproar."

Gu nodded, having no objection to Dongfang Qing’s decision to deal with those Soul Law Spirits.

It was just that the Hall of Myriad Laws ultimately needed someone to suppress it; otherwise, if the numerous Dharma Spirits within were to run rampant, it would be very difficult to manage.

"No matter. After this is resolved, I will leave the Tianxing Sword here. It will suppress the Dharma Spirits in the hall and, at the same time, can also erase the traces left by those Soul Law Spirits."

Having arranged everything, Dongfang Qing took Qi Xiu, who was still comprehending techniques, from Gu. Observing the continuous, flowing Thunder Path Dao Charm around Qi Xiu, Dongfang Qing frowned, "Did you impart the ’Primordial Heavenly Thunder Skill Canon’ to him?"

"What are you thinking? This child’s comprehension is simply astounding. I merely helped him connect to the origin of the Thunder Path. I never expected him to actually seize the initiative. Now, even I don’t know what he is comprehending. But judging by this aura and phenomenon, it must be something quite extraordinary."

Gazing at the incredibly dense Thunder Path Dao Charm, Gu clicked his tongue in amazement, his fondness for Qi Xiu growing.

"Junior Dongfang, such an excellent seedling—intelligent, wise, and pure-hearted, and also this generation’s [Primordial Chaos]. Why don’t you take him as your disciple? If anything untoward were to happen to you in the future, at least there would be someone to succeed you."

Hearing Gu’s words, Dongfang Qing couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

"Can’t you wish me well for a change? Besides, although this child has flawless talent and shows the potential for Palm Dao, every generation’s [Primordial Chaos] is accompanied by cataclysmic waves. I cannot gamble with the Shenxiao Sect’s foundation, built over tens of thousands of years. Moreover, this child has a resolute Dao Heart and has already determined his own path. Even if I were to accept him as a disciple, it would be merely a nominal title, holding little significance."

"Mm, I’ve also sensed that the Heavenly Dao has been unstable recently, with an abundance of calamitous energy. A great tribulation is likely approaching. Before your elder brother emerges from seclusion, you should stay safely within the Sect. I need to protect your elder brother, and without a Primordial Spirit overseeing the Sect, we cannot awaken the Sect-Defending Divine Artifact. Remember, no matter what happens, nothing is more important than the Sect’s stability."

"Rest assured, Ancestor, I understand."

Dongfang Qing nodded. After speaking a few words to this ancestral Dharma Spirit using a Secret Technique, he prepared to leave with Qi Xiu.

Nearby, Shi Eryue hurriedly transformed into a streak of green light and merged into Qi Xiu’s body, terrified of being left behind.

...

"Foolish child, awaken now!"

A soft call instantly roused Qi Xiu from his deep immersion in comprehending techniques. Opening his eyes, he saw Dongfang Qing, who was leisurely holding a fishing rod, turn his head to glance at him.

"You certainly are ambitious, aren’t you? Trying to bite off more than you can chew? If I hadn’t called you back, you would have nearly merged with the light and scattered into dust."
