Chapter 112, Demon Hunting Department
After more than a month of seclusion, Qingshi was already unshaven and covered in sweat. He returned to the dormitory and took a hot bath to wash himself comfortably. Qingshi came out of the bathroom stroking his cleanly shaved temples and chin. He saw Yun Li was playing with Xiaobai in the living room. Qingshi hadn't seen Yunli for a long time and wanted to get intimate with him. However, Xiaobai was not there, so he had to give Yunli a hug and hold hands.
Yun Li smiled and said, "It's just the right time for you to leave seclusion. Come on, come and go shopping with me."
Qingshi calculated and realized that today was Sunday. Although Yunli liked to be quiet, almost every Sunday afternoon, Qingshi would accompany her to the commercial street outside the south gate of the college.
This commercial area is specially built for college students. It is open every afternoon on weekdays and is only open all day on weekends. Many students who have been busy all week come here to hang out on weekends, buy some daily necessities and gadgets, eat, drink and relax. Of course, there are also shops selling various cultivation resources, as well as inns, restaurants and even gambling houses and pawn shops.
Qingshi then walked out of the south gate with Yunli.
Yunli likes to visit clothing stores, as well as musical instrument stores and flower shops. She likes the lyre, which is an instrument somewhat similar to the guqin. Shen Feiyun is a master of it.
Yunli is very talented at playing the piano. He often looks for music scores that he likes, and has bought several lyres of various styles and sizes.
As for flowers, Yunli always likes to buy a few pots of beautiful flowers and plants to take back and plant in the yard. Her criteria for choosing flowers and plants are just that they like and look good, unlike others who often choose flowers and plants based on their effectiveness in cultivation. Shop. Moreover, Yunli only buys live flowers planted in pots, never flowers that have already been picked.
Qingshi always wants to try delicious food every time he comes here. Qingshi has already tasted the food and wine of famous restaurants such as Sanbaolou and Qixiangyuan, but is not interested. Now he likes to go to a small shop. The stew there is very special and is considered one of the few. One of the delicacies that Qingshi likes.
In addition to eating, drinking and shopping, Qingshi and Yunli mostly just walked side by side to take a look. The commercial streets here are not as noisy as in the city. The streets are spacious and clean, the pavements are beautiful and neat, and the roadside greening is also very good.
Qingshi and Yunli were chatting and walking around. When they reached a crossroads, they suddenly noticed a hint of danger approaching.
Although this place is outside the school, it is also under the control of the college. It is very rare for someone to dare to act recklessly here.
Qingshi raised his eyes and looked around in surprise, only to see twelve people dressed as businessmen wearing soft leather armor running towards him from all directions. In the blink of an eye, these tolerances surrounded Qingshi and Yunli.
There were many students on the street, and there were more than a dozen students who were originally within the encirclement. They were surprised to find that the aura of these tolerance officers did not lock on them, and they quickly escaped.
In an instant, only Qingshi and Yunli were surrounded, and around them, a large number of students gathered from a distance to form a larger circle, all looking at this scene in surprise.
Within the encirclement, Qingshi and Yunli remained calm, watching the development of the situation. I saw two more people walking side by side. One of them was dressed the same as these officials, except that he had an extra feather on his hat, while the other was wearing a royal guard uniform. Qingshi looked closely and recognized it, it was Xiang An.
The officer with feathers on his head loudly shouted to everyone around him: "The Monster Detection Department of the Ministry of Justice is handling the case, and everyone else is avoiding it! I am the first-class patrol officer, Jin Tai, the captain of the 4th Action Team of the Monster Detection Department." As he spoke, he held up an iron sign and waved it. In a flash, while talking, he walked towards Qingshi Yunli.
Xiang An had also seen the blue stone at this time and was slightly surprised. Then he whispered a few words to Jin Tai beside him. Jin Tai was slightly startled and then nodded.
"Brother Qingshi!" Xiang An walked to Qingshi and stopped and said, "We haven't seen you for a few years, and you are even more energetic. How are you doing?"
"Master Xiang!" Qingshi said calmly, "I've always been fine, but today I don't seem to be fine! May I ask what this means?"
"Oh!" Xiang An wrote lightly, "Someone reported that a large demon in disguise had infiltrated Tianlong Academy. The Monster Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Justice will come to investigate as usual. You know that although I am an internal guard, I also hold a position in the Ministry of Justice. , and has always been responsible for the liaison between the Imperial Guard and the academy, so I accompanied Captain Jin to have a look. I don’t believe there is a great demon in disguise in the academy!"
Xiang An looked at Yunli, then changed the topic and said, "I wonder what the relationship is between brother Qingshi and this girl Yunli?"
"You even know her name," Qingshi said coldly, "Of course you should have investigated it! She is a senior student of Tianlong Academy and also my partner!"
"Brother, I misunderstood," Xiang An frowned. "The person who reported the case only said that the big demon turned into a female student named Yunli, but did not mention his relationship with Brother Qingshi."
Qingshi didn't care whether what he said was true or not, he laughed and said: "Master Xiang, do you mean that Yunli is a great demon in disguise? Is she a demon beast that has transformed into a human form?"
"That's not what I meant!" Xiang An said, "I said I didn't believe it, it was the Monster Detective Department who reported the case and said yes!"
"We'll know after a test," Jin Tai said impatiently, "please ask this girl to come with us!"
"That's unreasonable!" Qingshi said with a cold face, "Arresting someone just based on the one-sided statement of the person who reported the crime? Who is the person who reported the crime? Can you call him out for confrontation?"
"Who are you?" Jin Tai said angrily, "I think for the sake of Mr. Xiang, I have been polite enough to you. Don't interfere with our official business, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
Xiang An frowned. It is said that the departments of the Ministry of Punishment always arrest people directly when handling cases. Although he is in the Ministry of Punishment, he is only on a temporary basis and does not belong to the Demon Hunting Department. Jin Tai allowed himself to talk to Qingshi and told him the reason, which was already a way of giving face. Now, it’s hard to talk anymore in this situation.
Moreover, this Jin Tai should also know the special nature of Tianlong Academy. He acted so recklessly, fearing that there was someone with power behind him to instigate it, so Xiang An stopped saying anything.
Qingshi said coldly: "Even if you want to arrest someone, you should inform the college first. Now you are setting up an ambush to arrest people outside the college. Do you dare to say that it was not premeditated? I just want to see who dares to take action today!"
"Take it down!" Jin Tai yelled, "Take down this kid who is hindering the investigation of the case first! Set up a formation!"
The four tolerance officers each held weapons and rushed towards Qingshi. Judging from the momentum, they were all at the low or mid-level Yuan Dan realm. The other eight tolerance officers each took out array flags and other objects and began to deploy arrays around Yunli, and they cooperated skillfully.
Jin Tai pulled Xiang An out of the formation and said, "Please step aside, sir. I've offended you!"
Naturally, Qingshi would not surrender. He raised his hand and took out his light-chasing sword to block the long sword of the leader, and then fought with the four of them.
Most of the students watching around did not expect that Qingshi would dare to resist arrest by force, and they were all surprised. But what surprised them even more was that Qingshi did not lose at all against the tolerance of four Yuan Dan realm cultivations.
Qingshifu knew as soon as he received the move that these tolerances had poor martial arts talents. In terms of zhenqi, all of them should have basic attribute zhenqi, and they should all have a single attribute. In terms of martial arts, they were also ordinary. Although their Qi cultivation is high, most of it is accumulated through long-term practice, and their combat power is far less than that of the geniuses of the academy.
On the other side, Yunli ignored these servants and started setting up the formation, and only looked at Qingshi with concern.
Seeing that Yunli was surrounded by the magic circle, Qingshi couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He suddenly shouted and activated the Three Ultimate Wind Techniques. The wind attribute energy surged all over his body. With the blessing of the Tianfeng Jade Belt, Qingshi's figure was as fast as the wind. The light-chasing sword in his hand shed a piece of sword light. Almost in an instant, all four tolerances were hit by the sword. Their meridians were sealed by the true energy and they fell to the ground.
When the surrounding students saw this scene, they all burst into exclamations, and some students couldn't help but cheer loudly. The one who screamed the loudest was a girl in red with a hot figure. Next to her was a beautiful woman in light yellow clothes. They were Duan Xiaoyu and Shen Binghong.
In addition to the two of them, there were many acquaintances of Qingshi among the students watching around, such as Ji Yujia and Teng Shouqian. Not far away, on the second floor of Sanbao Building, there were two elegant royal disciples standing by the window. Qingshi also knew these two people, one was Jiang Chenxiu, and the other turned out to be Jiang Chenying who had graduated from the academy a few years ago.
Qingshi looked at Jintai coldly and said: "If there really is a big demon that can turn into human form, how can you defeat it with trash like you?"
"Take it!" Jin Tai roared angrily, flying into the sky like a big bird, and then rushed towards Qingshi. Qingshi Zhanjian fought with Jin Tai, and immediately found that his Qi cultivation had reached a point where he could not detect it. This showed that he had surpassed the Yuan Dan realm, and it seemed that he was probably at the Jin Dan realm.
Qingshi was not afraid of his opponent at all, and used the long sword in his hand to attack with all his strength using the Mysterious Sword Technique. Jintai's cultivation was indeed at the low level of the Golden Core Realm. Of course, this was the result of his hundreds of years of practice.
As for Jintai's own cultivation talent, he only has metallic Qi, and his understanding is not very high. His weapon was a long-handled machete, and when he swung it, he was very menacing and frightening. He obviously had domain martial arts skills, and with just a few moves, he covered the bluestone within his golden soup domain.
It was the first time Qingshi encountered an opponent of such a high level, but he did not fall behind. No five-element domain martial arts skills had any effect on him.
Qingshi's Qi cultivation was not as good as Jin Tai's, but in terms of purity of Qi, he was far stronger than his opponent. Therefore, the two of them clashed with each other with swords and Qi, and for a while they were evenly matched.
Jintai's aura was surging, and everyone around him could naturally feel the aura of his Jindan realm cultivation. Qingshi was also exerting his full strength at this time, and the aura of his third-level Yuandan realm cultivation was also fully revealed.
Qingshi, who was at the third level of Yuan Dan Realm, was able to fight hard against Jin Tai, who was at the first level of Jin Dan Realm. The people watching were frightened and incomprehensible.
Jiang Chenxiu turned pale and murmured: "In terms of martial arts cultivation, I am not as good as him!"
Jiang Chenying glanced at Jiang Chenxiu and said: "Fourth brother! If you can't practice the lightning technique to the third level within half a year, the number one spot on the Tianlong Ranking at the end of the year will really not be yours."
The battle between Qingshi and Jintai has reached a hundred moves. Qingshi secretly thought that Jintai was already at the Golden Core level after all, and his true energy was much stronger than his own. If he continued to use up his Qi like this, he might not be able to defeat him, so he feinted and quit. Three feet away.
When Jin Tai saw him retreating, he thought he was retreating in spite of the difficulties. Although he was surprised that this boy could fight to a draw with him at such a young age, he thought that if the stalemate continued for a long time, Qingshi would still be unable to defeat him.
Jin Tai was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Qingshi concentrating on holding the sword with a rainbow-like aura, and he immediately realized: This kid is not retreating from the difficulty, but is going to use a bigger move!
Jintai was shocked and quickly concentrated on preparing to deal with it.
Qingshi really didn't want to fight anymore, so he changed to the Flowing Fire Sword, and after a slight adjustment, he fired the strongest strike at this stage, the Triple Wave of Fiery Flames.
Qingshi rushed towards Jintai with a blazing gust of wind, and struck out with a sword like a fire dragon. Jintai could not dodge at all, so he had to forcefully swing the knife towards the incoming sword and strike straight at it. The swords met with a muffled sound, and Jintai's jaw was shattered. , took three or four steps back.
Qingshi just paused for a moment, then slashed out with another sword. Jin Tai quickly held the knife in both hands to block again, but this time his chest felt like a hammer blow, his arms were numb, and he retreated more than a foot away without control.
Qingshi pounced again like a fierce tiger, and struck down the head with the third sword. Jintai let out a wild roar and raised his sword with both hands to resist. The swords connected with each other and made a loud noise. The huge energy collision caused a shock wave that swept through the surrounding flowers, trees, and the audience, picking up fallen leaves and dust, and blew it close. The student's face was sore.
Jintai flew backwards seven or eight feet away, fell to the ground and could not get up. The machete had already been bent and deformed and fell to the side. His hands and sleeves were in tatters and trembling.
