Chapter 20 Faceless Man
The seventh level of Qi refining!
Shen Bi stared at the faceless man in front of him solemnly.
There is not only a gap between two levels of cultivation between him and the person in front of him, but also a huge gap between the middle and late stages of Qi refining.
After a monk enters the later stage of Qi refining, both the scope and condensation of his spiritual consciousness and the reserve and purity of his spiritual power will undergo qualitative changes.
Previously in Lingtian Valley, Jing Nan could overwhelm him with just the momentum of the ninth level of Qi refining. The gap between the mid-term and late stages is evident.
The reason why he has been able to resist for so long is due to his body-refining cultivation in the Bone Refining Realm and Buddhist techniques to restrain evil spirits.
What puzzles Shen Bi is that since the demon cultivator in front of him has late-stage strength, why didn't he show it just now?
This reminded him of some rumors. It is said that when demon cultivators use monks to refine some magic weapons or demons, the more fear the monks had before their death, the better the refining effect will be.
So the demonic cultivator used the Hanged Ghost to besiege him before, and what he said after that about ‘peeling off the whole body’ and ‘extreme happiness’ were all to increase his fear?
The devil is indeed a lunatic!
I have done so much useless work and don’t understand psychology at all!
For a low-level monk like Shen Bi, snatching away his storage bag will bring him real fear, the fear of poverty!
"Before I die, let you see my true methods!"
Suddenly a shiny white bone about ten feet long appeared in the faceless man's hand. He shook the bone stick, and a black banner like ink unfolded. I don't know what the material of this black banner was, but it was painted with Faces of various shapes.
With the injection of the Faceless Man's mana, those faces came to life like evil ghosts, roaring in pain, struggling to climb out of the black flag.
It’s the Ghost Flag!
Shen Bi didn't expect the faceless man to have such a method. The ghost flag in front of him was at least a low-grade magic weapon!
As soon as this flag came out, Shen Bi completely gave up the dangerous idea of "how about giving it a try" and turned around to run away.
"Haha, you can't run away, just be my soul on the banner!"
Seeing that Shen Bi was escaping so easily, the faceless man waved the ghost flag, and the evil spirit on the flag rushed out, shooting in the direction of Shen Bi's escape.
Shen Bi felt that his soul seemed to be locked. No matter where he ran, the evil ghosts came instantly behind him. He passed by several times and was almost bitten.
He also tried to escape in one direction, but he kept circling back and forth. He knew that he had encountered a ghost and his sense of direction was completely messed up.
The faceless man did not expect that Shen Bi would activate his escape technique so quickly, unlike the monks in the middle stage. However, the stronger the opponent, the more powerful the banner ghost he would create.
He looked at Shen Bi with his eyes shining, 'This person seems good to be the main soul!'.
In the distance, Shen Bi was surrounded again. He had no choice but to try to fight back, and walked away with one strike, not daring to fight at all.
Shen Bi used his fists, palms, legs, shoulders, elbows, and knees to do everything he could, displaying the Vajra Demon Subduing Technique to the fullest, but he still narrowly escaped death several times.
He knew that this was not going to work, so he had to give it a try and rush straight into the faceless man's true form.
Suddenly, a loud shout echoed through the sky.
"How dare any evildoer come to my Qingyun to run wild!"
Shen Bi felt that the surrounding environment suddenly changed, the main peak of Qingyun was revealed, and the sky returned to color, giving him the feeling of seeing the sun again.
Under the sunlight, those evil spirits seemed to be very uncomfortable and roared even more horribly.
"Hmph! What a weird trick!"
I saw a hale and hearty old man suddenly appear in front of the faceless man. He pulled out the long sword from his back and drew a sharp semicircle with his extremely concentrated metallic spiritual power, slashing it down diagonally along the opponent's neck.
The faceless man quickly called back the flag ghosts to resist, but the long sword was extremely fast. The flag ghosts swarmed up to block the sword light, but it was already too late.
Poof!
As he was cut down by the long sword, the banner ghost was chopped to pieces and dispersed in the sky and the earth, while the faceless man's body was like a deflated ball, and he fell to the ground with no life left.
However, there was no trace of blood under the body lying on the ground, and the ghost flag suddenly disappeared. Looking at the face of the faceless man, it turned into an ugly face covered with scars.
"Presumptuous!"
The slender old man was extremely angry and embarrassed by the faceless man's method of surrogate death, but he couldn't find any trace after scanning around with his spiritual consciousness. It turned out that the evil demon escaped so easily!
The incompetent and furious old man's fire-breathing eyes immediately stared at Shen Bi:
"Who are you?"
Shen Bi was afraid of being offended, so he quickly bowed and said: "Reporting to senior, I am an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect."
"Do you have proof?"
"This..."
"Hmph! I am Xiang Shou, captain of the Law Enforcement Hall."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of black-robed monks coming behind him.
Seeing that he was from the Law Enforcement Hall, Shen Bi quickly presented his disciple token: "Outer disciple Shen Bi has met all the senior brothers!"
After finishing speaking, the bones all over his body exploded and changed back to their original appearance.
"So you are Shen Bi."
Xiang Shou took the token, looked at the person in front of him playfully, and suddenly his eyes stood up:
"Why do you hang out with demons and monsters?"
Hearing this, Shen Bi's heart skipped a beat. Xiang Shou knew very well that he had been attacked and killed by this faceless man before. He never expected that the other party would ask such a question.
If the Law Enforcement Hall insists on making a fuss here, he may not be able to tell clearly!
As expected, he is a master of criminal law, and he was captured in just one sentence.
Everyone behind Xiang Shou looked like they were watching a show. The secret boss's move was indeed extraordinary. Shen Bi dared to lose the face of the law enforcement hall, and he must be used to establish his power today!
Seeing this, Shen Bi stopped being respectful and said loudly:
"This disciple is also about to ask all the law enforcement brothers why they let demons sneak into our Qingyun Sect realm!"
"Thanks to the disciple's tricks, I was able to save my life."
"If other disciples encounter it, they might have become the evil ghosts on the ghost flag!"
Shen Bi repeated his old tricks and shouted very loudly, which attracted passers-by's attention. Since he wanted to trick him, he had nothing to be polite about!
Hearing that Shen Bi did not answer the question and was still loudly accusing the law enforcement hall of negligence, the law enforcers behind Xiang Shou were shocked and angry!
Because they really failed in their duty!
It would be fine if no one exposed it, but now that Shen Bi has revealed it, none of them can escape.
"Shen Bi is such a sharp-tongued man!"
"Hey! What I'm good at is pulling out teeth!"
"Let's leave it to the slave family. The slave family likes such a man with such backbone."
......
Xiang Shou didn't seem to hear the discussion, and stared at Shen Bi for a long time:
"Haha, don't worry, Junior Brother Shen, the Law Enforcement Hall will definitely give Junior Brother an explanation."
"But for now, let's ask Junior Brother Shen to cooperate with the Law Enforcement Hall's investigation."
"Take it away!"
I saw two law enforcers who were no weaker than Jing Nan walking out from behind Xiang Shou, while Shen Bi was suppressed by the crowd's momentum and was unable to move.
Chapter completed!
