Chapter 226 Reverse Thinking Xiao Mansion Spirit Fox
“Grandpa Matthew, do you know the details?”
Zhou Qing immediately grasped the key point in Mashuno's words and wanted to ask for details.
"Hey, Xiao Lang was attacked, how could he not do anything afterwards? Strengthening patrols in the city is just a basic measure. He also asked me to help find out if those people have any accomplices."
Ma Xiunuo slowly told what he knew, "Among that group of people, the strongest one is a Soul Master! That's why Xiao Lang didn't dare to issue a wanted order! That's why he became a Great Soul Master!"
"It's actually the Soul Sect!"
Zhou Qing was surprised.
Although Soul Sect's strength is far from enough to move freely among thousands of troops, but in Notting City, he is already a great master and no one can restrain him.
Even if the opponent is a support system, the soul power of the Soul Master level is enough for him to protect himself.
only--
"Isn't it a lie that Xiao Lang is misleading when he reports false information?" Zhou Qing was speechless.
[No wonder Xiao Lang only stepped up patrols and issued corresponding tasks in the guild, but did not dare to take further practical actions.
If the wanted notice was made public, no one would dare to take this mission. The exposure of Soul Sect's strength alone would be enough to scare the adventurers in this guild -
More importantly, Xiao Lang is also afraid!
If the Soul Sect also launches a night attack, he might lose his life! 】
However, as Tang San's heart was churning, he also felt a sense of fearlessness.
So what about Soul Sect?
It can be used just in time to test the new version of the soul guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow that he created in his spare time!
"Now that we know how powerful the enemy is, let's give up this mission." Mashuno advised again, "That guy's companions dared to attack the Xiao Mansion at night. I think he himself is not a man who follows the rules. I'm afraid he won't show mercy just because you are children."
Su Yuntao also said: "I was among those who were gathering intelligence at the time, and I also found out that the other party might have a tendency to fall."
"Ok?"
Zhou Qing and Tang San looked at each other, both of them could see the surprise in each other's eyes, but before they could speak, Mashu Nuo asked first, "Tendency to fall? You didn't tell me right away!?"
Fallen one!
This is a big deal!
If he had known about this earlier, he would have reported it even if it meant offending Xiao Lang to death!
"Master Mashouno, don't worry. I said he has a tendency to fall because he gives me a dark aura. It may just be because of his martial spirit attributes."
Su Yuntao said hurriedly, "As for the method of judging the fallen, even if I am uneducated, I will memorize it by rote: a gloomy face, strange eyes, and a whole body that exudes a creepy, disgusting, and twisted feeling."
"That guy doesn't have those characteristics, he's just a little bit dark and a little bit manic."
Mashuno then relaxed a little, but still taught him a lesson: "Next time you meet people like you, you have to be careful. After all, the fallen can disguise themselves!"
"understand!"
Su Yuntao agreed, and the reason why he didn't tell Ma Xiunuo about this was because he was a little dazed when he passed by Xiao's house and overlooked this point...
"Zhou Qing, don't take this mission, remember that!" Ma Shunuo repeatedly warned, and hurried back to the Wuhun Branch Hall with Su Yuntao.
For the Fallen, no matter how rigorous one is, it is not too much. He must go to the library to look for detailed information, and then summon all the great soul masters in Notting City to see if this soul master is still in the city. If so, they will go to "visit" the soul master together to confirm it again and again.
If the other party is really a Fallen, then in Matthew's opinion, all the great soul masters in the city can unite together, set traps and ambushes in advance, and capture/kill him!
"Are the Fallen the evil spirit masters who would use extremely cruel means to attack normal spirit masters, or even ordinary people?"
Romantina gasped for air. "I heard that if they catch a woman, they will first use various means to play with her, and then use cruel means to skin and pull out her tendons—"
"The pain and humiliation are simply unimaginable!"
Tang San unconsciously moved a few meters away from this real pervert.
Zhou Qing had just taken a step when Romantina held his shoulders. Feeling the breath on his face, he said with a stiff upper lip: "They only do that to decent girls."
"It's me!" Romantina growled, suppressing her inner excitement.
"No, for someone with your personality, I think they will knock you out first, or use drugs to make you unconscious, so you won't feel any pain and won't wake up again." Zhou Qing said expressionlessly.
"what?"
The excitement on Romantina's face froze at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her entire body was petrified in an instant:
━━∑(￣□￣*|||━━
When Xiao Wu came back from the counter after completing the formalities, Romantina came back to her senses, her eyes filled with rage: "I have decided to bring that evil spirit master to justice! Such people who don't know how to enjoy themselves should not exist in the world!"
Zhou Qing was ashamed: -_-||
"What's up with her?"
Xiao Wu wondered if Romantina had been hit in the sensitive spot again, causing her to go crazy here? But this enthusiasm was not bad!
"This is what we just learned from Master Mashuno and Brother Tao about the hidden strength of the target." Zhou Qing said, "It's the Soul Sect."
"It's just a Soul Sect... Wait, did I hear it wrong? Soul Sect!" Xiao Wu didn't react at first. After repeating it carefully, a trace of doubt flashed in her pink eyes, "This is three realms higher than us, right?"
"Actually, the difference is not that big. After all, the soul power levels of the four of us add up to more than level 50, which is comparable to a soul king." Zhou Qing half teased, half joked.
"It seems to be true. Recently, our spirit power levels have all improved. You are level 16, Tang is level 35, Romantina is level 12, and I am level 14. Adding up, we have level 57, which is close to the level of Soul Emperor." Xiao Wu counted with her delicate fingers and found that it was true.
Romantina also did some addition and found that the combined soul power level of the four of them was indeed level fifty-seven.
Seeing that the two of them took it seriously, Zhou Qing, who was worried about their intermittent mental retardation, held his forehead and told the truth: "Soul power level is not calculated like this. The amount of soul power at the first level of the Soul King realm is probably more than our level five soul power."
"Ah? Isn't this just like hitting a rock with an egg? Aren't we just looking for death?" Xiao Wu was stunned.
"An egg hitting a rock? That must be painful!" Romantina imagined the scene when they encountered the Soul Sect in the future. Her body trembled and a blush crept up her cheeks again, but it quickly dissipated. "But I still prefer long-lasting pleasure, not the kind that lasts only a moment."
"..."
Zhou Qing, who was silent for a while again because of Romantina's shocking words, glanced at Tang San who was also lost in thought, clapped his hands, attracted the attention of the three, and said: "Since you have accepted the mission, there is no need to give up. There is still a big gap between Soul Sect and Soul King. The first level of Soul Sect's soul power is at most equivalent to the third or fourth level of Soul Warrior. But fighting is not about soul power. Otherwise, everyone can just report their levels and compare them with each other. There is no need to fight at all."
"Brother Qing is right. Our opponents are just a little bit higher in spirit power than us. A real battle is not a comparison of spirit power."
Tang San agreed and gave the three of them a shot of reassurance, "I have recently improved the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow. Its power has increased a lot, and its durability has also increased. Under the premise that the soul master has sufficient soul power, it can continue to shoot for twenty rounds."
"What about after twenty rounds?"
Zhou Qing didn't expect that Tang San would give him such a big surprise.
In the original novel, Zhuge's magic crossbow has arrows made of fine iron and has extremely strong penetrating power. Even the exoskeleton shell of a thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider cannot withstand it and is directly penetrated.
After studying the soul guide core array on the soul guide crystal, Tang San modified the first version of the soul guide Zhuge Shennu. The crossbow arrows were no longer made of fine iron, but were constructed by condensing soul power under the influence of the relevant soul guide core array. The penetrating power was no different from that of arrows made of fine iron.
The durability of the first version of the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow is not enough, and it will be scrapped after three rounds of use.
But now, Tang San has actually created a second version with extremely high durability, which can fire twenty rounds continuously if the soul power is sufficient!
"After twenty rounds, there needs to be a thirty-second pause."
Tang San said, "Because after continuous shooting, the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow will get hot and need to be cooled, otherwise it will be scrapped. After thirty seconds, it can be used again. Set twenty rounds of shooting as one big round, then my Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow, which has been modified again, can be used continuously for thirty big rounds before it will be scrapped. However, if it is properly maintained during this period, the scrapping time can be extended longer."
In fact, the hidden weapons used by the Tang Clan disciples also need maintenance, especially the mechanical hidden weapons like the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, which require time to be cleaned and dehumidified every day.
After adding the soul guide core array into the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, more maintenance time is required every day.
That is to say, there exists a storage soul guide in this world, and the internal space is completely isolated from the outside world. Otherwise, it would waste a lot of his time just to maintain the soul guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow every day to prevent it from rusting, getting dusty, damp, etc., which would affect its accuracy.
"Very good." Zhou Qing praised, thinking that this Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow Version 2, which relied on soul power as energy, was already comparable to a submachine gun. "But this situation of sufficient soul power... specifically, what level of soul power does it refer to?"
"Take me as an example. With level 15 soul power, I can continuously shoot 30 large rounds."
Tang San raised his lips, "Although our soul powers are only at level 10, our soul guide core arrays contain many soul guide inscriptions that can improve the efficiency of soul power."
Romantina and Xiao Wu also knew about the existence of the soul guide crystal, so it didn't matter if I told them the relevant information.
"As expected of Xiao San, she is really amazing!" Xiao Wu laughed after learning about the general situation of Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow Version 2, "Now, let alone Soul Sect, even Soul King will be unable to escape!"
"It should be able to disrupt the Soul King."
Judging from the might of the Soul Saint Zhong Dingxiu, Tang San roughly calculated the Soul King's strength level and said conservatively, "But if the soul crossbow can hit the vital parts of the human body, it can also cause great damage to the Soul King. The Soul King's body protection soul power cannot cover the whole body."
Zhou Qing agreed with Tang San's judgment.
After all, the soul power training system in this world is created based on martial souls, which leads to the soul master's far from sufficient understanding of his own meridians and acupoints.
The more powerful the martial soul, the more complex and comprehensive the meridians involved in cultivating soul power. The soul power flows throughout the body and can naturally protect every part of the body.
But soul masters with weak martial souls cannot do this. Even if their soul power level is improved, they can instinctively form a protective qi when circulating their soul power. However, since the meridians and acupoints involved in the circulation of the Qi are extremely rare, the soul power cannot protect the vital acupoints around the body.
Even the soul masters in this world have no concept of acupoints, let alone be on guard against them.
"That's not bad."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Let's go, it's time to take action."
There is no doubt that they turned a deaf ear to Matthew's advice.
"Where can we gather intelligence?"
Xiao Wu asked, "You can't just ask everywhere on the street, right?"
Zhou Qing nodded: "Actually, this is also a good idea."
"Is this a good idea?"
Tang San's face was full of confusion, wondering if Zhou Qing was having a seizure.
There are many people on the street and if they do this, the Soul Sect will probably get the news first and flee far away.
"First of all, this mission appeared in the Notting Guild. Judging from the fact that it was 'after the auction', it has been at least a month since then."
Zhou Qing conducted a more detailed analysis. "But the mission is still on the wall. It is very likely that the City Lord's Mansion has also received news, but has not released it. In other words, just as the mission describes, the target person is still in Notting City or wandering around."
"Among the four of us, the oldest, Romantina, is only twelve years old."
"He's a soul master, and also a child!"
"A group of kids asking about the Soul Sect on the street is enough to attract attention. The Soul Sect's accomplices raided the Xiao Mansion at night, proving that they are almost taboo-free. They might take the initiative to look for us. And since we performed so well in the friendly competition, they might take the opportunity to explore the secret of our strength."
"The strength of Soul Sect is enough to give him this confidence!"
Tang San suddenly realized that he didn't expect there was such a way to think about the problem.
In his previous life, as a member of the Tang Sect, he collected intelligence in secret to avoid being exposed...
But now——
Considering the age of yourself and others...
Considering the other party's pride as a soul master...
There is actually such a method to "lure the snake out of its hole"!
wonderful!
It’s really wonderful!
However, when they really started investigating the intelligence, Zhou Qing immediately brought Tang San, Romantina, and Xiao Wu to the gate of the Xiao Mansion.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Wu was surprised. "Didn't they say that the Xiao Mansion itself didn't know the specific situation?"
"That's exactly what I said at the time, but since I've accepted the mission, I still have to come and ask in case I overlook any details."
At this point, Zhou Qing talked about something else, "Do you remember why we came to the Xiao Mansion for the first time?"
"Teach Xiao Chenyu a lesson."
Xiao Wu recalled her original mission: to be Xiao Chenyu's sparring partner. Without thinking, she said, "But at that time, Su Yuntao also joined in, making Xiao Chenyu his punching bag..."
"The woman whose martial spirit is a fox spirit."
Unlike Xiao Wu who thought of the "sandbag", Tang San was quick-witted and realized the problem of the "Spirit Fox" at the first time. "That woman dared to join the game, which can be called: courageous. But if it was just her alone, it would be too bold. Xiao Lang is a great spirit master after all."
Before Romantina went crazy, her logical thinking was still normal. After learning from Zhou Qing about the specific experience of Zhou Qing's "sparring mission" in which she did not participate, she continued: "So, the girl with the spirit fox spirit should have someone to pick her up... Is she in the same group with the spirit masters and spirit sects who attacked Xiao's mansion at night?"
"I'm not sure, so I came here to ask and see if the people from the Xiao Mansion have gotten anything out of the girl."
After that, Zhou Qing stepped forward and came to the gate of Xiao's house. He handed two silver soul coins to the two arrogant guards and said, "Please inform the two of you that we are old friends of Xiao Chenyu and are also very familiar with Butler Xiao."
These two guards performed their duties conscientiously during the friendly match and did not watch the game; they were not the two guards that Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu met when they came to the Xiao Mansion, so they had no impression of them.
However, after they heard that Zhou Qing and others were Xiao Chenyu's friends and also knew Butler Xiao, a hint of respect appeared in their contemptuous eyes.
"please wait."
One of the guards pushed the door open.
Soon, Butler Xiao led the guard out with a big smile on his face: "Brother Zhou Qing, Brother Tang San, and Miss Xiao Wu and Miss Romantina, these two guards have just arrived and don't know you. I will ask them to kowtow and apologize immediately!"
"No need, we just come to ask some questions." Zhou Qing hurriedly stopped them, asked Xiao Wu to take out the task paper, and told her the purpose of their visit.
"Have you accepted this mission?"
Butler Xiao was almost speechless, but immediately reacted and invited Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina to enter the manor. As they walked, he said, "We are not sure how many accomplices the gang has, and we don't know what they look like. We only know that one of them is a Soul Sect, a female, wearing a veil and a windbreaker, wrapped tightly, and has passed by the Xiao Mansion many times. But because she is a Soul Sect, she didn't break into the Xiao Mansion without permission, and she didn't create chaos in Notting City, so it's not easy for us to directly gather people to block them."
Zhou Qing also understood that whether or not they could win was one thing, but the problem now was that the Xiao family could not find a suitable reason to encircle the Soul Sect.
If the other party is just a great soul master or a soul master, it doesn't matter. Just put a hat on him. With Xiao Lang's network of relationships and interests in Notting City, no one will deliberately dwell on the specific reasons.
But that person happened to be a Soul Sect member!
Considering her strength, many people would be hesitant or even back off and stay out of it.
After all, most of the great soul masters in Notting City have no background or power. If something happens, the family behind him/her will be completely ruined. They don’t believe that Xiao Lang will really treat their wives and children well afterwards.
Therefore, any mission involving life-threatening dangers, unless absolutely necessary, such as killing the Fallen, defending the country, etc., especially the latter, if the war breaks out, no one can stay out of it, and they have to get involved.
Otherwise, most soul masters would value their lives very much under normal circumstances and would never obey the city lord's orders.
Especially for civilian soul masters who have been in the soul master world for a period of time, they are more or less vigilant and will not act rashly. Even when the conditions are right, they will be like patient hunters, always ready to reap the benefits.
Just like the foreign soul masters who are still staying in Notting City, they are all like this. Each of them is extremely patient and wants to see if they can gain the advantage in the end.
However, if everything goes smoothly within the next year, these soul masters will gradually leave and no longer insist...
"Butler Xiao, thank you for telling us this, but we also want to inquire about the situation of the 'Spirit Fox' this time."
After learning of Zhou Qing's idea, Butler Xiao took Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina to an underground cell in the manor.
"Why did City Lord Xiao build a prison cell underground?"
After arriving at the underground cell, Xiao Wu saw items placed and hung on the nearby tables and walls, including a pink whip with candle oil, a black stick with short, blunt spikes, a yellow ball with a chain, and so on, and her face was filled with confusion.
Torture instrument?
Why did she feel the colors were a little too rich?
Romantina tried hard to suppress her shaking body and whispered: "Underground, tied up, dripping wax, whip..."
Butler Xiao showed a trace of embarrassment when he heard these words, but he did not think that Romantina was a "pervert". He just felt that the twelve-year-old daughter of the deputy city lord was too precocious, so he coughed and wanted to quickly take Zhou Qing and others to the room where the girl was imprisoned, so he said: "Everyone, please follow me!" Xiao Wu was puzzled and showed a questioning look to Zhou Qing and Tang San, but saw that the two seemed to turn a blind eye to those strange torture instruments.
However, when she noticed that Romantina was trying hard to suppress the "morbid" curve at the corner of her mouth, her mind was stunned, and then she guessed what type of "torture device" it was.
It was normal for the single adventurers of the Notting Guild to talk freely and freely about obscene topics - Xiao Wu had naturally been influenced by them.
However, this kind of torture device was the first time Xiao Wu had seen it in person. Her cheeks flushed as she muttered, "My Lord, this is really disgusting."
Butler Xiao's ears moved, and he felt even more embarrassed. He could only quicken his pace and walk quickly down the stairs at the edge.
There are two floors in this underground prison.
The first floor is where the various precious "torture instruments" collected by Xiao Lang are placed.
The second floor is the real prison cell, which is Xiao Lang’s place of pleasure.
The two floors are ten meters high and are connected by a spiral staircase that wraps around the edge of the wall.
"City Lord Xiao won't come back suddenly, right?" Zhou Qing suddenly asked.
"what?"
Butler Xiao was a little embarrassed. After coming to his senses, he immediately said, "No, in the past, the master was only interested in it at night, and he was quite wary of this woman..."
Arriving at the second underground floor, Butler Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the soul guide lamp on the nearby wall, filling the small space with bright light.
As far as one can see, the cell is cylindrical in shape, with a diameter of about ten meters.
Taking Zhou Qing's front as the reference, there was a large bed on the left, with two shackles embedded on the walls on both sides of the bedside; on the right stood a cross about three meters high. The girl closed her eyes and lay casually on the ground, with shackles on her limbs and neck. Extending from the shackles on her neck was a chain about three meters long, connecting to the cross near the top.
"Do you need me to tie all her limbs to a cross before interrogating her?" asked Butler Xiao.
"No need, Butler Xiao, you go ahead and do your work. We need to conduct a secret interrogation." Zhou Qing thanked Butler Xiao.
"Then I'll go to the first floor and wait for the four of you."
Butler Xiao nodded slowly and went down to the basement along the stairs built along the wall.
"Hey, isn't this the culprit that caused me to end up like this?"
After Butler Xiao went up, the girl opened her eyes and sat up. Although there was a hint of smile on her face, her eyes were full of resentment.
"Hey, don't act like it's our fault."
Xiao Wu shouted, "You were the first one to sneak into the Xiao Mansion! And you were the first one to use your spirit skills on us, trying to seduce us!"
"Ah."
The girl sneered, no longer paying attention to the still innocent and ordinary Xiao Wu, and her cold eyes fell completely on Zhou Qing, "Come to see me, what's the matter?"
Before Zhou Qing could speak, the girl continued, "No matter what it is, I don't know. Don't ask me. Even if you ask, I won't tell you."
Xiao Wu said angrily: "How dare you ignore me!"
When Tang San saw Zhou Qing gave him a look, he immediately understood, pulled Xiao Wu, and shook his head, signaling her not to get excited.
"What's your name?" Zhou Qing approached the girl, held up one of her hands, and asked while taking her pulse.
"···Hu Lingling."
The girl said her name.
"Didn't you say that?"
Zhou Qing put down her hand and smiled wickedly.
Hu Lingling's face suddenly darkened, but she then pulled aside the scraps of cloth around her legs, revealing her white thighs.
"Do you think you can seduce a six-year-old kid like me?" Zhou Qing said it righteously, but out of the corner of his eye, he kept glancing at the white spot, as if he wanted to explore what secrets the dark forest covered by the white gauze contained.
Hu Lingling: “…”
"You actually secretly looked at another woman's private parts in front of me, and pretended to be serious!" Romantina roared loudly, "You are so hypocritical!"
"This is a man's instinct!" Zhou Qing broke down his defense and retorted.
"What man? You are obviously a boy."
Hu Lingling laughed out loud, observing the interaction between Zhou Qing and Romantina with great interest. "But children these days, both boys and girls, seem to mature very early."
Suddenly, Zhou Qing's expression returned to calm. No matter what Romantina said, he didn't care. He just stared at Hu Lingling and said, "Okay, enough joking. Let's get down to business. Do you want to recover from your injury?"
"what?"
Hu Lingling was stunned.
"Your body was severely injured by my attack. Not only were your tendons and bones broken, but your meridians, which are the veins in your body that circulate your soul power, were also damaged." Zhou Qing's eyes were indifferent. "Even if the external injuries heal in the future, if the injuries to your meridians are not repaired, it will be difficult for you to make any further progress in your cultivation."
The smile on Hu Lingling's face disappeared in an instant. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You are so cruel!"
"Don't say that. I didn't expect that an 18th-level spirit master would have such weak defense. He was seriously injured by my attack." Zhou Qing shrugged, with a look of asking for a beating -(.︶. )~: "I'm sorry you couldn't bear it."
Wow!
Hu Lingling jumped up suddenly, but because her injuries had not yet fully recovered, her ankle was twisted and she could not stand steadily. In addition, there were shackles on her neck. When she jumped three meters, the chains stretched straight and trembled, as if they would collapse at any time.
But the chain was as thick as a fist, and even Hu Lingling in her prime could hardly break free, let alone her now - her external injuries had not recovered, her internal injuries had not healed, and she could not even use her soul power, otherwise her whole body would swell and ache.
"Are you here to laugh at me?" Hu Lingling trembled, gnashing her teeth, staring at Zhou Qing, wishing she could eat him up. "Then you really have a bad taste!"
"I've already told you that I'm here to make a deal with you." Zhou Qing stretched out a finger.
"What do you want to know from me?" Hu Lingling calmed down and sat down casually. "If it's not important, you can tell me. Anyway, I even told you my name."
"Is it your own plan to hook up with Xiao Chenyu for the soul bone?" Zhou Qing stared into Hu Lingling's eyes, always paying attention to the slightest movements on her face.
"if not?"
Hu Lingling's expression was slightly mocking. "With a personality like mine, how can I have any companions? All the spirit masters who have come into contact with me want to stay away from me."
"This guy won't cooperate. I think she may have received strict training." Tang San couldn't tell anything from Hu Lingling's expression, and frowned -
If Zhou Qing, Xiao Wu, and Romantina were not present, he could have carried out relevant interrogation measures on Hu Lingling. The Tang Sect had plenty of means to make those with strong wills relax.
But it is not suitable to be displayed openly.
"Don't worry, she already told us the answer."
Zhou Qing never thought that a civilian girl spirit master of fifteen or sixteen years old could achieve such a level.
Not to mention, she was still a prisoner at that time, but she could still chat and laugh with him.
It must be premeditated, organized, and team-based.
"I see."
Tang San thought about it and understood Zhou Qing's idea. He would not get the answer by asking directly, but he could still analyze some useful things by asking indirectly.
What we need to do next is to keep testing and guessing whether the gang behind Hu Lingling is really related to that Soul Master.
If not, then just ignore her.
If so, Hu Lingling might have a close connection with that Soul Sect... And now they have also learned another clue from Butler Xiao:
That Soul Master often passed by the Xiao Mansion.
"You don't need such a simple trick to deceive me."
Hu Lingling thought that Zhou Qing and Tang San were just playing a double act to deceive her, so she kept sneering.
"How old are you?"
Ignoring Hu Lingling's ridicule, Zhou Qing continued to ask, but he asked an irrelevant question.
"eighteen."
Hu Lingling was stunned by Zhou Qing's sudden question, but still answered. As for whether it was true or not, it was unknown.
"Wow! Two or three years older than I expected!" Zhou Qing laughed, but there was a trace of inexplicable sadness in his eyes. "So, do you know that a fallen person who sneaked into the city was caught recently? He was ambushed by the local spirit hall master and more than ten great spirit masters."
"hehe."
Hu Lingling sneered, "What does it have to do with me?"
"That's a soul sect."
Hu Lingling still sneered.
"female."
The smile on Hu Lingling's lips remained unchanged.
Zhou Qing added: "Her figure is similar to that of a woman."
After these words were spoken, Hu Lingling's smile froze for a moment, then quickly recovered.
But Zhou Qing and Tang San had already noticed it.
Tang San thought to himself: This woman is indeed related to the Soul Sect.
Zhou Qing stood up slowly and said to Tang San: "Now the situation is clear, she must have contact with that Soul Sect, help her heal a little."
"Really need treatment?" Tang San frowned, "If this guy recovers, he might be able to escape."
“Be honest.”
Zhou Qing is very disciplined. "Besides, just straighten her dislocated bones. There is no need to help her straighten her meridians."
"You call this honesty?" Hu Lingling scolded.
"I didn't say I would completely cure you, and you didn't answer the questions properly."
Zhou Qing paused for a moment and continued, "But I was indeed lying to you just now. The Soul Sect Master was not captured, but was killed by me. I just felt that he had the characteristics of a Fallen One, and I heard that he seemed to be related to the group that attacked Xiao's mansion at night and cut off one of Xiao Lang's arms, so I came here to ask if you knew anything."
"That's it?"
Tang San straightened Hu Lingling's ankle. Feeling that she could move flexibly, she kicked at Tang San, but he dodged it.
Seeing that her attack failed, she didn't care. She just looked at Zhou Qing with a slightly mocking look, as if saying: So what if you can see that I have a relationship with the Soul Sect?
Anyway, there won't be any useful news.
"I know you don't believe that a six-year-old soul master can kill a soul master, but this is the fact."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qing's martial spirit possessed his body, and a deep yellow spirit ring with ox horn patterns emerged. Along with the beating of the heart, the expansion and contraction of blood vessels, and the flow of blood, the invisible power pressed directly towards Hu Lingling, frightening her so much that she instinctively retreated backwards until she reached the corner of the wall, with nowhere to retreat.
In Hu Lingling's eyes, Zhou Qing was still the same Zhou Qing, except that his hair and beard were all standing on end and his muscles were tense. But for some reason, the oppressive feeling that the soul power brought to her was not weaker than that of a Soul Master!
And that soul ring, the yellow color seems to have become deeper, and there are patterns on it that resemble horns... Is that really a soul ring?
He might really be able to kill Soul Sect!
When this thought came into her mind, she could no longer suppress it!
Hu Lingling's pupils trembled and she didn't dare to look at Zhou Qing.
But for some reason, she found that her heart was also pounding, as if it was affected by the other party's martial spirit and was difficult to control. Her chest was becoming more and more heavy, as if it would explode at any time.
This move is actually one of the results of Zhou Qing's research on the power of qi and blood.
He discovered that when his martial soul was in operation, he could instinctively drive the emotions of others. For example, when the working students VS the aristocratic students in Notting College, they were influenced by his martial soul and their emotions were high.
Zhou Qing called this ability the resonance of qi and blood.
After completing the martial soul fusion skill with Tang San: Blue Silver Empress's Wing Chun Heart Song, the effect of her domain also includes causing the qi and blood between people to resonate, thereby strengthening their overall health.
As for the effect of causing other people's qi and blood to resonate together, Zhou Qing discovered that it would be adjusted to a certain extent depending on the speed of his soul power circulation and changes in his personal emotions.
When Zhou Qing's martial soul was possessed and his soul power was circulating rapidly, the martial soul in his blood circulation system overlapped with the blood circulation system in his body. Every beat of his heart, every expansion and contraction of his blood vessels, and the flow and circulation of his blood could cause the qi and blood in his entire body to vibrate.
By utilizing this vibration to create resonance between the Qi and blood and the soul power, perhaps it would be possible to stimulate the "soul pressure" similar to that which only high-level soul masters can create using their soul power.
Zhou Qing even realized that when he combined his soul power with his qi and bloodline and vibrated them at a certain frequency, the oppressive feeling created also carried substantial attack power.
But he obviously has not reached this level yet. He can only activate the energy of blood and soul power when the martial spirit possesses him, and produce a simple resonance.
But even so, it can still produce a sense of oppression comparable to that of a Soul Master, and can cause substantial harm to others.
At this moment, Hu Lingling was frightened by Zhou Qing's experimental move.
"You...you! You actually killed him!?"
When Zhou Qing put away his martial spirit, Hu Lingling suddenly felt relaxed, her heart was pounding, her chest was heaving violently, and her whole body was soaked.
However, she could not care about these things. She stared at Zhou Qing intently. The frivolous look on her face was gone. There was only resentment, and even her eyes were filled with bloodshot. "We just want to gain powerful strength. For this, we give up our dignity, ourselves, and being normal people! But why are some people born with extremely high innate soul power? Why!"
"I will never let you go! Never!"
Amid the roar, the soul power in Hu Lingling's body began to circulate rapidly, and the soul power fluctuations on her body surface became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye. The chains that bound her also made cracking sounds and even developed the slightest cracks.
“There’s something wrong with this guy!” Tang San immediately took out the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow Version 2 from the Moon in the 12th Floor, and aimed it at Hu Lingling, with a drop of cold sweat on his forehead, “Her soul power fluctuations are already infinitely close to level 20!”
Zhou Qing could naturally feel it as well. Moreover, after Hu Lingling was possessed by the martial spirit, her eyes were filled with bloodshot. The color was completely occupied by blood, forming blood pupils. The muscles all over her body were tense and twitching, as if there were maggots crawling underneath.
At last.
Wave!
Hu Lingling's skin was broken and blood oozed out.
In just a few seconds, she turned into a bloody person, and the soul power fluctuations around her quietly dissipated -
The situation is obvious!
She was stimulated and forced herself to use some secret method, but because her own meridians had not recovered, she ultimately failed, causing further injuries.
Seeing such a horrifying scene, Xiao Wu and Romantina took a few steps back in fear. Zhou Qing also took a step back, shocked.
Only Tang San stood still, holding the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow, ready to guard at any time in case the opponent showed weakness...
