Seeing that Sikong Wu¡¯s cultivation level had improved rapidly, Sikong Ba finally agreed to take him to Hongdong County. However, the day before departure, he took out a piece of pale golden silk armor and handed it to Sikong Wu.
"This piece of black gold soft armor is an ancestral treasure of our Sikong family. It is made from black gold and the silk of the six-legged golden spider. It is also blessed with talismans and French. It is invulnerable to water and fire, and can even resist some low-level spiritual arts. Spell damage, you put it on!"
Sikong Ba pondered for a moment and then said: "Originally, relying too much on these external objects will affect your own cultivation. However, your current cultivation is too low. It is better to wear this black gold soft armor to protect yourself. But you must keep it secret. Otherwise, it will cause trouble.¡±
He didn't give this black gold soft armor to Sikong Wu before, but he was afraid that Sikong Wu would show off and attract other strong men to covet him. Now seeing that Sikong Wu has a much calmer personality and already has the strength of a fourth or fifth grade warrior, he gave it to him. This family heirloom was handed over to Sikong Wu.
Sikong Ba traverses the battlefield and kills countless enemies. Naturally, he is also extremely dangerous. He has been assassinated more than ten times. If it were not for this mysterious gold soft armor to protect him, he would have died early on the battlefield, and he would have achieved such a status today.
After getting the Xuanjin soft armor, Sikong Wu felt that the soft armor looked light, but in fact it was extremely heavy. The thin soft armor probably weighed less than 200 kilograms, and there were darker silk threads on it woven into runes and spells. There is a vague soul power rippling on it, and it is obviously an extremely rare and precious soul armor.
Sikong Wu couldn't help but be moved in his heart. The preciousness of soul armor was something that the formerly surly Sikong Wu knew very well. Not to mention that Sikong Ba was only a peak ninth-grade Martial Emperor. He had achieved a true martial body and entered the realm of a tenth-grade Martial Saint. This mysterious The golden soft armor also has a great effect on him. Now that he has handed this precious treasure armor into his own hands, this feeling of licking the calf is difficult for Sikong Wu to repay. No wonder Sikong Wu has a fierce hatred for everyone, but Du admired Sikong Ba immensely.
A feeling of envy and hatred suddenly arose in his heart. He envied Sikong Ba for having such a loving father and hated his biological parents. Why did they throw him at the door of the orphanage so cruelly? If it weren't for the word Qin on the jade pendant, Sikong Wu doesn¡¯t even know his last name!
Wearing the Xuanjin soft armor next to his body, Sikong Wu felt that his body was much heavier, but he had a good foundation. The weight of two to three hundred kilograms would not affect his movements too much. Instead, it would play a role in exercising. There is no one on earth. Few people do such weight-bearing exercises in order to improve their strength and physical fitness.
The black gold soft armor does not look cold, but has a slight warmth. It should be the effect of the soul power above. It sticks to the body naturally and can be slightly adjusted according to the wearer's body shape. It is indeed hard to find. Precious soul armor!
When Sikong Wu put on his outer brocade robe and military uniform and tightened his golden belt, it was completely impossible to tell that he was wearing a protective armor underneath. If he fought with the enemy, the unexpected treasure armor might protect him. Can give the enemy a fatal blow.
Sikong Ba didn¡¯t bring many people with him to Hongdong County. Ordinary second-level martial arts masters were useless against the transformed fox demon or the fox spirit martial emperor.
Xu Mingshan, the founder of the seventh-grade Martial Emperor, Min, the sixth-grade soul-refining martial artist, Rolling Thunder Whip Flag, Xu Xutian, the soul-falling hammer, and Sikong Wu's personal guard Han Yun, plus two black-eyed blood mastiffs that are good at tracking, are Sikong Ba Bring all the people to Hongdong County.
Sikong Wu knew that although Min with the Rolling Thunder Whip Flag was only a sixth-grade warrior, and his martial arts cultivation was comparable to that of his personal bodyguard Han Yun, the soul beast he fused was a rare thunder and lightning demon leopard, with amazing speed, and was good at using soul magic to distance himself. He is extremely powerful when fighting enemies at a distance. Even the three Han Yuns may not be his opponents. Sikong Ba values ??him very highly.
Wuwei Marquis's fiefdom was hundreds of miles in diameter, and was divided into several counties. Among them, Hongdong County was on the edge of the fiefdom, more than thirty miles away from Qintian City. Sikong Ba and the others did not make any big show, and they arrived on horseback in half an hour. Among the county offices of Hongdong County.
This is the fiefdom of Marquis Wuwei. According to imperial regulations, even Emperor Qingtian of the Qingtian Empire cannot interfere with the situation of the fiefdom. The county government officials in Hongdong County are all appointed by Sikong Ba himself. They are actually from Marquis Wuwei's mansion. subordinates.
There is a slight difference between the counties and counties in the fiefdom and the counties in the empire. The difference is just in terms of area. Most counties in the empire are much larger than the fiefdom of Marquis Wuwei. Hongdong County is only thirty or forty miles in radius, with several With a population of 10,000, the county government has only one magistrate to manage the county, and the number of clerks, officials, police officers and agents under him totals only about thirty.
As for the thousand-man army in Hongdong County, it is directly under the control of Wuwei Houfu, and even the county magistrate cannot mobilize it. The entire Qintian City fiefdom is only three or fourWith a population of 100,000, the army has more than 10,000, which is much higher than other fiefdoms. However, because Sikong Ba was a military general, he always believed that he must have strong force in his hands to firmly grasp power and control the life and death of others.
The county magistrate Song Qingyuan originally had two powerful sixth-grade soul-refining martial arts masters as head catchers, and ordinary cases could be easily solved. However, this time about the mummy, even the two sixth-grade soul-refining martial arts masters were arrested. They were all killed in the wilderness. Song Qingyuan knew that this matter was not something he could handle, so he immediately reported it to Sikong Ba.
Song Qingyuan personally took Sikong Ba to a wooden house behind the county government office, accompanied by a quite old man.
Although Sikong Ba was violent, he was not an unreasonable person. Instead, he clearly understood rewards and punishments. Knowing that this was not Song Qingyuan's fault, he did not scold the county magistrate. He watched Zuo lift the white cloth covering the corpse, his eyes fell on the corpse, and he said in a deep voice. Asked: "How long has this body been dead?"
Song Qingyuan carefully replied: "Back to the Marquis, this man is from Qingshi Village. He is in his early twenties and is a fourth-level martial artist. It has been three days since he was found dead."
Sikongwu saw that the corpse was extremely shriveled, with gray hair, bulging eyeballs, and a strange smile on its face. It could be seen that not only did it not feel pain when it died, but it was also very comfortable.
The whole corpse was like a gray-white rotten tree. Sikong Wu didn't feel scared and said with some surprise: "This man is in his early twenties and looks like an old man. He has been dead for three days and there is no rotten or smelly smell!"
Xu Mingshan smiled and said: "This is the work of the fox demon. The fox demon has absorbed this person's essence, blood and soul power. It may not rot and stink for a month, let alone three days."
Sikong Ba asked the man to lift the white cloth of the remaining three mummies, took a look, and said to Xu Mingshan: "Xu Gongfeng, what do you see?"
Xu Mingshan nodded and said: "These corpses were killed by the fox demon, and there is a faint smell of the fox demon on them. But what Xu can't understand is why the fox demon is so impatient and domineering in sucking the blood of these people? According to the Logically speaking, the fox demon should slowly absorb the energy and blood so that it can be refined better and it will not easily attract others' attention."
The weapon used by Xu Xutian is not a hammer, but his soul beast skill can transform into a huge hammer, which can smash people into pulp. Few people know that he is good at controlling beasts, and the ferocious beast raised by Wuwei Hou Mansion He takes care of all the animals, and two extremely ferocious black-eyed blood mastiffs are squatting on both sides of him obediently.
He suddenly said: "Master Marquis, I have heard of such a thing before. Once the fox demon is injured, it can use secret methods to quickly convert qi and blood to heal the injury. This demon fox is contrary to common sense and can continuously absorb the qi and blood of many people in a short period of time. It is estimated that He was severely injured and is in urgent need of Qi and blood to heal his wounds!"
Xu Mingshan suddenly realized and said: "It makes sense!"
Sikong Ba nodded and said to Song Qingyuan, "Have you discovered the whereabouts of the fox demon?"
Song Qingyuan was well aware of Sikong Ba's character. Before sending someone to notify Sikong Ba, he had already dispatched all the police officers to investigate the situation. He quickly said: "Go back to Lord Marquis, that fox demon is very advanced, we can't find it." However, my subordinates have sent people to investigate, and there are only three families with abnormal situations in the county, and the fox demon should be hiding in these three families."
Sikong Ba didn¡¯t see any change on his face and said calmly: ¡°Tell me and listen.¡±
Song Qingyuan said hurriedly: "The three families with abnormal conditions are Zhao Baibai of Qingshi Village, Yin Li of Dongzhai and Wei De of Gunshiling."
He paused briefly and added: "I estimate that this evildoer will not be hiding in the county. The county is not big and there are only a few households. Everyone is familiar with each other and it is easy to reveal the truth. Therefore, we focus our energy on the countryside below." Nomura, I really discovered something."
"Zhao Baibai of Qingshi Village has made a living outside for many years. This time he suddenly returned to Qingshi Village to repair his ancestral home and brought back many servants and wives. He rarely shows up and his whereabouts are strange. Yin Li from Dongzhai is the villager The middle-to-high-income family has just taken a concubine, and she rarely shows up, so she is very mysterious."
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "After Zhao Bonian came back, there were still people who wanted to take concubines, and that's why the murder of mummies happened. It's possible that the fox demon was hiding among them, and maybe he turned into their wives and concubines to hide from others. As for that Wei De, suddenly a niece came to us. It is said that the woman was a bit strange and did not look like an ordinary farmer's girl. However, this woman came only after the murder occurred, and my subordinates are not sure whether she is related to the murder."
He spoke for a long time in one breath. Sikong Ba nodded and said quietly: "According to what you said, the most likely ones are Zhao Baibai from Qingshi Village and Yin Li from Dongzhai. I will go to Qingshi tonight in person. Take a look at the village, Xu Gongfeng, you, Xu Xutian, and Qi Zimin go to Dongzhai. Song Qingyuan, you also send people to Gunshiling to keep an eye on it, and report back immediately if anything unusual is discovered!"
He turned to look at Sikong Wu and said in a deep voice: "Wu'er, you will follow me as my father."
Sikong Ba was as decisive as a soldier. He didn¡¯t say much. He immediately went to the county government to recuperate his energy and practice for a while. After nightfall, he went to Qingshi Village and Dongzhai respectively under the leadership of the county government agent.
Qingshi Village is more than ten miles away from the county government office. The two agents with third-level alienation cultivation are not as strong as Sikong Wu. Naturally, they will not stay, lest they alarm the fox demon. They point out the mansion where Zhao Baibai is from a distance. Sikong Ba asked them to wait outside the village.
The black-eyed blood mastiff following Sikong Ba had already smelled the fox smell remaining on the corpse. As soon as it approached Zhao Baibai's mansion, a fierce light appeared in its eyes and it began to howl in a low voice.
Although the Black-eyed Blood Mastiff is a low-level ferocious beast, it has an amazing sense of smell and is good at tracking. It is basically a must-have beast for the army's scout troops, so I brought two Black-eyed Blood Mastiffs over.
Sikong Ba used to be a scout and was good at domesticating black-eyed blood mastiffs, but now that he has a higher status, he does not raise black-eyed blood mastiffs himself and leaves them to Xu Xutian to tame.
Seeing the performance of the black-eyed blood mastiff, Sikong Ba knew that Song Qingyuan's judgment was correct. The fox demon was probably hiding in Zhao Baibai's mansion. He made a slight gesture, and the black-eyed blood mastiff immediately calmed down.
He turned to look at Sikong Wu and said in a low voice: "The fox demon is probably in the mansion. Don't leave within three feet of your father."
"Han Yun, please protect the young master!"
Han Yun, a giant man like an iron tower, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, even if you lose the lives of your subordinates, you will ensure the safety of the young master!"
Sikong Ba¡¯s eyes turned cold, and a dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from between his eyebrows.
The golden light swirled in mid-air and suddenly turned into a big golden-haired tiger. It was Sikong Ba¡¯s ninth-grade soul beast, the Golden Spirit Tiger!
The third-level Martial Emperor realm is the seventh-level visible realm, the eighth-level combined realm, and the ninth-level soul-leaving realm!
The manifest realm can manifest the shadow of the soul beast outside the body, and can also transform into armor and soul soldiers to fight. The eighth-level fusion realm is where humans and soul beasts merge into one, and can transform into a half-human, half-demon body, which is extremely To enhance one's own strength, the ninth-level realm is like the current Wuwei Hou, who separates the golden spirit tiger from the body and has a clone whose strength is not inferior to his own. Even if he is thousands of miles away, he can act separately, but the strength of each is naturally greater than that of a human and a soul. The beast fusion is slightly inferior.
It's just that Wuweihou did not merge with the Jinlinghu. The Jinlinghu alone is also the best among the ninth-grade soul beasts. It is extremely powerful and can easily tear apart the ordinary eighth-grade combined Martial Emperor. That's why Sikong Ba directly summoned The soul-exiting beast left Sikong Wu alone, lest something happen to Sikong Wu.
Although Han Yun is protecting him, the fox demon is ignorant and is probably a demon equivalent to the realm of the Martial Emperor. Of course, it is impossible for Sikong Ba to completely entrust his only son's life to Han Yun, a sixth-grade martial artist.
Although there is only one level difference between the sixth-grade martial artist and the seventh-grade martial emperor, the difference in rank is extremely huge. Even ten Han Yun may not be the opponent of the seventh-grade manifested martial emperor.
The Golden Spirit Tiger is transformed from the essence, blood and demonic power of the original Golden Spirit Tiger monster. It is constantly nourished by Sikong Ba's soul power. The manifested body is the same as the real Golden Spirit Tiger monster. In fact, the human race The soul power used is basically the same as the demon power of the demon clan, but the human race just changed its name in order to distinguish itself from the demon beasts.
Jin Linghu's soul has been completely replaced by Sikong Ba's consciousness. Everyone knows that Jin Linghu is actually Sikong Ba himself. When he saw Jin Linghu manifesting his body, he suddenly roared and a wave of energy visible to the naked eye appeared. Ripples appeared in the void, and in an instant, the hard loess ground cracked and tiny cracks appeared.
The wall at the entrance of the mansion in the direction of Hu Roar felt as if it had been hit by a huge boulder of 10,000 tons. The thick door panel collapsed and shattered, and the green bricks of the wall also shattered into pieces, sputtering straight to the back, just like the violent force of the earth. **It seemed like it exploded at the door.
Sikong Wu was very excited when he saw it. The terror of the Ninth Grade Martial Emperor was once again presented to him. Sikong Wu even guessed that his father wouldn't be in much danger if he was shot by an ordinary missile from Earth, right?
Qin Tiancheng is different from other places in the empire. Here Sikong Ba is the emperor, and there is no need for evidence to prove that the fox demon is hiding in Zhao Baibai's mansion before he can arrest him.
Even if Zhao Baibai¡¯s family is completely unaware of the situation, or the fox demon is not in the mansion now, it is not a problem that Sikong Ba needs to consider. The accidental killing of these ordinary civilians is nothing more than a small matter for Sikong Ba.
The Golden Spirit Tiger roared open the door of the mansion. With a slight twitch of its nose, it found the place where the smell of fox smell was strongest. It suddenly jumped into the courtyard, opened its mouth, and countless void cracks erupted, heading ten feet away. An exquisite small building spreads over!
Tiger Roaring Soul Beast? is one of Jin Linghu's three soul beast skills. It is extremely powerful. Even if it is not combined with Sikong Ba, it can easily attack a target thirty feet away. Then Sikong Wu saw the exquisite bamboo tower. It also seemed like a gun was placed inside, and it suddenly exploded, and the broken bamboo made a crackling sound.
Amidst the explosion, a shrill scream suddenly sounded, and a ray of white light shot out from the debris that was shattering and flying in all directions. It immediately spun in mid-air and fled towards the wilderness to the east.
Sikong Ba snorted coldly: "You dare to come to Qin Tian City and run wild, it's not that easy to leave!"
Jin Linghu's body ran away, so fast that it turned into a golden light, and another tiger roar sound wave burst out from his mouth.
Although the white figure was fast, it could not be faster than the tiger's roar. She had already known the power of the tiger's roar before, so naturally she did not dare to take it lightly. She suddenly paused, and a white light came out from outside her body. The white light was shaking under the attack of Tiger Roar Crack, but it firmly withstood Jin Linghu's offensive.
Sikong Ba looked at the white figure and did not let Jin Linghu continue to attack. He sneered and said: "It turns out that he is an eighth-grade three-tailed demon fox, but his cultivation is only at the seventh-grade realm. He was still seriously injured. How dare you attack me here?" Hou kills people right under his nose, but he is very courageous!"
The grade of the demon clan is not their true strength. Just like the tenth-grade three-eyed Qingpeng demon fused by Sikong Wu, it has not fully grown up and is only equivalent to the strength of the ninth-grade demon king. However, if there is any chance, the tenth-grade demon can The beast may also have the strength of the fourth-level and eleventh-level demon saint.
"It's just that the strength of demon clans varies greatly. Even if they are the same demon type, their strength will vary by thousands of miles. Therefore, humans usually divide the strength of demon clans according to the overall grade of the demon clan.
If these eighth-level fox demons achieve certain results in their true cultivation, they might be able to enter the ninth-level demon emperor realm and compete with Sikong Ba. Currently, they are only as strong as the seventh-level demon emperor, so naturally they will not be placed in the same position as Sikong Ba. In the eyes of the ninth-grade peak martial emperor, Jin Linghu was not allowed to launch a fierce offensive.
