Chapter 161 Qiankun, you are really good
"Devil, today is your doom!" Li Qiankun shouted, his voice like thunder, echoing in the night sky.
He swung the Xuanzhong ruler, and a dazzling ruler wave cut through the night sky, going straight for the demon's head.
Wherever the waves passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, forming vertical and horizontal cracks.
The demon roared loudly, and the wind became even stronger, as if to fuel his rage.
He waved his hands, and a black energy wave surged out from his palms, colliding with Li Qiankun's Xuanzhong ruler.
In an instant, the two forces collided and intertwined in the air, erupting into astonishing energy fluctuations.
The light shines brightly, illuminating the entire night sky, as if a dazzling meteor is streaking across the sky.
The surrounding trees swayed in the strong wind, and sand and rocks flew everywhere, as if the end of the world had come. The earth was shaking, as if even the heavens and the earth were trembling.
In a dense forest not far from the battlefield, Xiaodie nervously observed the battle. She was dressed in black, her face covered by a veil, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. She had initially assumed Li Qiankun was just an ordinary Taoist priest, but she hadn't expected him to be so formidable, holding his own against the demon.
"It seems this Li Qiankun is really capable." Xiaodie was secretly surprised, and at the same time, a sense of vigilance rose in her heart. She knew very well that Li Qiankun was not an easy opponent to deal with. If he discovered her, the consequences would be disastrous.
"But the demon hasn't fully awakened yet, so he should be able to gain the upper hand."
Xiaodie thought to herself and decided to take this opportunity to retreat. She quietly ordered her men to pack up and prepare to leave.
Her voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate the night and reach the hearts of her subordinates.
"Hurry up and leave no clues!" Xiaodie shouted, and quickly disappeared into the night with her men. They left the battlefield silently like ghosts.
At the same time, on the other side of the city, in the lobby of a luxurious hotel, Zhang Chulan was leisurely sipping tea.
He was a young swordsman, dressed in white, holding a long sword, with a heroic look between his brows. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by two familiar figures - Lu Ci and Xu Ting.
"Why are you here? Is it about the demon?" Zhang Chulan asked in surprise. He didn't expect to meet these two Tang Sect masters here.
Lu Ci nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, we are here precisely for the demon. I once witnessed the heroic deeds of the Tang Sect heroes who slew the demon. Now that the demon has reappeared, we naturally cannot sit idly by."
Zhang Chulan felt a flicker of suspicion upon hearing this. He recalled what Li Qiankun had said and began to ponder the two men's true intentions. He knew full well that the world was treacherous and people's hearts were unpredictable.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Chulan asked tentatively.
Lu Ci and Xu Ting exchanged a glance, a hint of determination flashing in their eyes. "We plan to unite all forces to fight against the demon together," Lu Ci said.
Zhang Chulan's suspicions grew even stronger after hearing this. He didn't know what these two were planning, but his intuition told him that things were far from simple.
At this moment, a young man in a blue shirt hurried into the hotel lobby. He was Zhuge Qing, a sorcerer proficient in Qimen Dunjia.
When he saw Zhang Chulan, Lu Ci and Xu Ting together, he immediately understood something.
"You're all here." Zhuge Qing said, a hint of apology in his tone, "Li Qiankun is not here. He has some things to take care of and cannot join you for the time being."
Lu Ci heard this and felt doubtful.
"Where has he been? Why doesn't he come?" he asked.
Zhuge Qing sighed and explained, "He went to a special place where he had something to deal with. We can't contact him for the time being, so we can only wait here."
Lu Ci and Xu Ting were a little disappointed when they heard this, but they also expressed their understanding.
"So what should we do now?" Xu Xin asked, a hint of anxiety in her voice.
Zhuge Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait here for news from Li Qiankun for now.
At the same time, you can also use this time to understand the situation of the demons and make full preparations."
Hearing Zhuge Qing's words, Xu Xin's eyes flashed with determination.
"We, the Tang Sect, have always protected the peace of the Central Plains. We will never tolerate evil beings like the demons."
Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing were both shocked when they heard this.
They knew that the Tang Clan, as a famous and upright sect in the martial arts world, had always shouldered the important task of protecting the Central Plains.
Now that the demon has reappeared, the Tang Sect will naturally not sit idly by.
"We will definitely support you with all our strength." Zhang Chulan said with a hint of determination in his voice.
Zhuge Qing nodded in agreement. "We will definitely fight the demons together and protect the peace of the Central Plains," he said.
Everyone was sitting in a hotel conference room, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant. They were discussing their experiences and sharing stories. However, at that moment, a rapid phone ring broke the tranquil atmosphere.
Lu Linglong quickly picked up the phone. After hearing what the other party said, her face turned pale as paper. "Li Qiankun has been ambushed by the enemy and the situation is critical!" Her voice was trembling with fear.
Xu Xin patted Li Qiankun's shoulder gently, his eyes filled with a mixture of reproach and curiosity. "Qiankun, you're quite capable, but you didn't even ask us for such an important matter. Do you think we can't help?"
Li Qiankun smiled bitterly and shook his head, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "I just found out about this too. This happened too suddenly, and I didn't have time to inform you."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Lu Ci waved his hand, interrupting the conversation between the two. "Tell me, what's going on?"
Li Qiankun took a deep breath and told the two of them what had happened.
After hearing this, Lu Ci and Xu Xin's expressions grew serious. Lu Ci muttered to himself, "The demon's awakening... at the cost of his life... this is indeed a big problem."
Xu Xin walked over to Li Qiankun and patted his shoulder again, his tone comforting: "Qiankun, I'm glad you're okay."
At this time, President Ishikawa also rushed over after hearing the news. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of worry. "Brother Qiankun is absolutely right. According to my speculation, this time the demon will definitely seek a place with abundant spiritual energy to perform a sacrifice in order to complete the demon's third stage of awakening."
A cold light flashed in Li Qiankun's eyes. He stared at President Ishikawa and asked anxiously, "President, in your opinion, where will they choose as the place for the sacrifice?"
President Ishikawa pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Outside the Great Wall, there are many places with abundant spiritual energy and few people. But to complete the awakening of the demon, you must find a supreme holy place."
Just as everyone was lost in thought, Zhuge Qing suddenly spoke. He counted with his fingers, a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Tomorrow night, the night of the full moon. This is when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is at its most abundant. The enemy will definitely choose this time to make the sacrifice."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Li Qiankun asked in a deep voice, "How confident are you?"
Zhuge Qing smiled faintly, his eyes revealing a bit of confidence: "100%!"
The old witch also interjected, "Outside the Great Wall, Changbai Mountain is the highest point, and its spiritual energy is unparalleled. If the enemy were to choose a place for sacrifice, Changbai Mountain would definitely be their first choice."
Li Qiankun nodded, his brow furrowed. "Changbai Mountain... is indeed an excellent choice. But since the enemy dared to make sacrifices there, they must have something to rely on. Whether we can successfully stop them is still unknown."
President Ishikawa sighed, recalling the horrific scene of that year. "I witnessed with my own eyes the terrifying sight of that demon about to awaken to the third stage. That power... is simply beyond words. We must do everything in our power to prevent them from completing the sacrifice."
Li Qiankun took a deep breath, his eyes firm: "Don't worry, we won't let them succeed."
Everyone echoed, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
As the night deepened, the people in the courtyard continued to discuss countermeasures. They knew that time was running out and they had to quickly formulate a plan to prevent the demon from awakening.
At this time, Kameda stood quietly by the side, holding a small medicine bottle tightly in his hand.
Xiaodie looked at him worriedly and said softly, "You know, this isn't what you need. What you need is to stay sober and rational."
Kameda gave a wry smile and took the medicine bottle but didn't drink it immediately. He raised his head and looked into the distance, a glint of determination in his eyes. "Xiao Die, I know. But only in this way can I become stronger and do more for the organization."
Xiaodie bit her lip, her voice trembling. "But, the third stage of awakening...that means you might lose yourself and be completely controlled by the demon sword. Are you really willing to take that risk?"
Kameda lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and then raised his head again: "I am willing to give everything for the organization."
Xiaodie looked at Kameda and felt sad.
Kameda's decision was not an impulsive one, but one that was carefully considered.
She nodded gently, with a hint of admiration in her voice: "Kameda, you... I believe you!"
Kameda smiled slightly, and a trace of longing for his hometown flashed in his eyes.
