Chapter 383: Myriad Star Demon Refining Scroll (2)

These guards fell to the ground and vomited blood, hearts filled with disbelief. They couldn’t block the attack at all; the back of the saber sent them flying by simply sweeping past their chests.

Chen Shuwen found it unbelievable. How is this old servant so powerful?

Xu Jingming watched this scene and thought to himself, Wu Qi’s saber technique can definitely be considered that of a super expert. His actual combat bonus is probably about 30×. 

He had good ac.u.men and determined the strength of this strike.

“You old hunchback…” Chen Shuwen found it unbelievable.

At this moment, Chen s.h.i.+’an—who had received the news—finally arrived.

Wu Qi coldly swept his gaze at Chen Shuwen and Chen s.h.i.+’an and remarked, “The next time I strike, it won’t just be with the back of the saber.”

This terrified the five guards.

Yes, if he had used the blade, the five of them would’ve been dead.

“Second Uncle.” Chen Shuwen gritted his teeth and said, “Look, Chen Qi and his old servant were about to sneak out of the Chen family with those bags. I got someone to check their bags, but this old hunchback injured a few guards.”

Chen s.h.i.+’an’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Xu Jingming. “Chen Qi, you’re leaving today just after being slapped?”

“The 100 taels of silver you gave is in the house,” Xu Jingming said.

“You don’t even want 100 taels?” Chen s.h.i.+’an smiled and said, “You do have some backbone! Wu Qi, you came to the Chen family with my wife back then. You’ve been a servant of my Chen family for so many years! How can you leave without my permission?”

Chen s.h.i.+’an also found it strange. After all these years, I didn’t realize that Wu Qi was that strong?

“A servant of the Chen family?” Wu Qi sneered. “Does the Chen family have my indenture contract? Back when Miss came here, she tore it up with her own hands. I was a free man the day I came to the Chen family! I was never a servant of your Chen family.”

Chen s.h.i.+’an’s expression changed slightly. “I see.”

“Chen Qi, once you leave the Chen family, you won’t be a member of the Chen family anymore,” Chen Shuwen shouted. “Don’t you use the Chen family’s name to swindle others.”

“Chen family?” Xu Jingming looked around. “Let’s make things clear here today—from today onward, my… surname is no longer Chen! I have nothing to do with your Chen family anymore.”

With that said, Xu Jingming walked out the door with Wu Qi. n.o.body dared to stop him.

Chen Shuwen and Chen s.h.i.+’an watched the two leave.

“Second Uncle, impressive,” Chen Shuwen commented with a smile. “This Chen Qi really left the Chen family obediently.”

“I’m also doing this for the family.” Chen s.h.i.+’an shook his head. “For the sake of the family, I naturally have to give up this son. I’ll pretend that I never had him.”

With that said, he turned and left.

Soon, Chen s.h.i.+’an arrived at Chen Qi’s residence.

Huh? Chen s.h.i.+’an saw a bag of silver on the table in the room. “He really didn’t take the 100 taels of silver with him? He’s as stubborn as his mother! These 100 taels of silver are enough to get me a few drinks.”

With that said, he hummed a tune and left with the bag of silver.

…

“That hunchback, Wu Qi, has such strength?” The Chen family’s patriarch frowned slightly when he heard the news. “Unfortunately, he can’t be used by my Chen family. That woman from the Wu family actually tore up Wu Qi’s indenture. She didn’t devote herself to our Chen family after all!”

The Chen family patriarch’s eyes turned cold.

“Dad,” Chen Shuwen said, “what should we do next?”

“Release the news that Chen Qi has abandoned the family! Publicly announce that he has severed ties with the Chen family and will no longer have the surname Chen,” the Chen family patriarch ordered. “He is the one who wants to sever ties, so it’s only right for us to remove him from the family register.”

“We originally had to come up with some contrived method to remove him from the family register. Now, we’re completely in the right doing so.” The Chen family patriarch chuckled.

Chen Shuwen nodded.

******

In a secluded residence in White County.

“Young Master, I usually travel outside and occasionally stay here.” Wu Qi unlocked the door and pushed it open. “Although it’s not big, it’s considered quiet. Young Master, make do with it for now. I’ll rent a bigger residence in a day or two.”

“There’s no need. I think it’s quite good.” Xu Jingming was quite satisfied.

Moreover, he didn’t plan on staying in White County for long. He still had to go to the Qi family in Cheng’an Prefecture City to find Demon Vanquisher Qi Xiao. This was something Redeye had requested his help. Redeye had even paid him, so he naturally had to settle it as soon as possible.

“Young Master, you’ve grown up.” Wu Qi was quite happy to see his young master like this. He was worried that the agitation would get to his young master. “Young Master, have a rest. I’ll buy some food.”

“Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Qi,” Xu Jingming said.

As Wu Qi was a young beggar adopted by the Wu family back then, his exact age was unknown. However, he was likely about the same age as Chen Qi’s mother. This was because he was only a youth when he first joined the Wu family.

He was estimated to be about 40 years old.

He’s about 40 years old, but time hasn’t been kind to him, Xu Jingming thought to himself. He then entered the house and arranged the numerous items in his bag.

…

Night fell.

Xu Jingming rested in the main building.

It’s time to cultivate the Demon Vanquis.h.i.+ng technique. He sat cross-legged on the bed.

In the Demon Vanquis.h.i.+ng World, the countless mortals were just dirt. The strongest were the Demon Vanquishers and demons.

Demons were born from a person’s obsession, drawing upon the demonic aura of the world. As long as the obsession didn’t dissipate, demons were undying and indestructible! Therefore, even though defeating the body of a demon appeared to wipe out everything, the process of destroying a demon’s obsession was known as mental demon refinement.

Either the Demon Vanquisher’s mind was stronger, allowing them to completely destroy the demons’ obsessions and dissipate them, or the demon was better. If the refinement failed, the Demon Vanquisher’s mind would be damaged!

Therefore, Demon Vanquis.h.i.+ng is very dangerous in Demon Vanquis.h.i.+ng World, Xu Jingming thought. If one is weak and is killed, it will cost another 100 million to reestablish an account.

Death meant a price of 100 million cosmic dollars.

Even for Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms, the cost of dying once can make one feel the pinch, Xu Jingming thought. If I defeat the demon but get defeated by the demon’s obsession during the refinement… the consequences will be even worse! For example, Senior Brother Redeye has the legacy of the Primordial Star Conjecture. He needs to recuperate for five years after his mind and consciousness suffered damage. Ordinary Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms usually suffer worse injuries.

Every Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform had great earning capabilities! It was just that most of their time was spent on the evolutionary path or matters pertaining to their homeworld’s civilization. The time and energy they had for earning money were limited. Therefore, the loss of 100 million cosmic dollars could still make them feel the pinch.

Of course, every Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform didn’t want to have their minds and consciousness injured. This was a greater cost than 100 million cosmic dollars.

Demon Vanquis.h.i.+ng takes two steps. First, kill the demon head-on. Second, use the mind to refine the demon and destroy the demon’s obsession. These two steps get increasingly dangerous, Xu Jingming thought. However, I first need to have the strength to subdue the demon.

Of the 32 techniques that Senior Brother Redeye imparted, two are based on the Primordial Star Conjecture. They are the Great Sun Demon Vanquis.h.i.+ng Diagram and the Myriad Star Demon Refining Scroll.

I originally had quite a deep understanding of Light Rays, but what suits my insights the best is the Myriad Star Demon Refining Scroll. Xu Jingming nodded slightly. Then, I’ll use the Myriad Star Demon Refining Scroll as the core method in Demon Vanquis.h.i.+ng World.

He closed his eyes and began to spread his psychic force to the roof slowly, making it come into contact with the moonlight in the sky. I’ll use my mind to stir the power of Yin and then have it undergo the transformation of the Myriad Star Formation in my body to cultivate the power of Yin and establish a foundation.

This is very similar to using one’s mind to stir Cosmic Force in reality! It’s just that the power of the moon is… far inferior to Cosmic Force.

As time pa.s.sed, his psychic force guided wisps of the power of Yin into his body and transformed them layer by layer before finally turning them into Yin Dharmic powers!

When a drop of cold Supreme Yin Dharmic powers was born, Xu Jingming’s absorption speed of the Supreme Yin powers suddenly increased.

On the roof, the Supreme Yin light constantly pa.s.sed through the roof tiles and flew into the house, pouring into his body.

…

In the courtyard.

Wu Qi sat at the stone table. Suddenly, he sensed something and saw a layer of flowing moonlight on the roof.

The moonlight was dense like water that constantly penetrated the roof tiles.

This is… Wu Qi’s body trembled in pleasant surprise. Drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to refine Demon Vanquis.h.i.+ng Dharmic powers?

Young Master—Young Master is cultivating a Demon Vanquis.h.i.+ng technique? Wu Qi couldn’t contain his excitement.

Miss, did you see that? Young Master obtained a secret manual and became a Demon Vanquisher. Wu Qi’s eyes were filled with tears.
