Chapter 59: Still Waters Settle, Turns Out It's a Still Water King 8
Lost in thought, Zhang Ping rode the water and swiftly arrived at the battlefield. With a single push, he unleashed a hundred-meter-high wave that crashed down on the Turtle Prime Minister.
He then reached out and embraced Chu Hanwei, who had been carried ashore by the river. She was unconscious, critically injured, and on the verge of death; the mysterious shield on her body was still in effect, but it was on the verge of breaking.
Upon discovering that the shield was repelling his black blood energy, Zhang Ping shattered it with a punch and picked her up with one hand.
On the turtle prime minister's side, seeing the giant wave crashing in, he opened his mouth and swallowed it into his stomach.
"A good opportunity!" Zhang Ping's eyes lit up. Through the battle just now, he discovered that although this Turtle Prime Minister was a demon in the Bone Forging Realm, all his talents were focused on defense, and he was not particularly sharp in attack.
He wasn't afraid of his signature water jets and water bullets.
If we can seize the opportunity to control the water from the inside and cause damage, there might be a chance!
However, he soon realized that he had been too naive.
He raised his hand to control the water and found that the river water the other party had just inhaled was blocked by a powerful force, making it impossible to sense.
"Hahaha... Foolish boy, Lord Shanze's power is indeed wondrous, but it depends on who wields it. Your water manipulation is nothing compared to this Prime Minister's!"
Looking at Zhang Ping's dark face with a mocking expression, the Turtle Prime Minister burst into laughter.
"Although I don't know how you sealed Lord Yamazawa into your body, the fate of the Demon Slayer will not change."
"Just wait patiently for Lord Yamazawa's resurrection!"
Seeing that his method was not working, Zhang Ping was about to turn around and run away, after all, his purpose was to save people, not to seek death by finding the Bone Forging Demon; but when he heard the Demon Slayer again, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Assessing the arrival time of the downstream dark cloud cluster, it made a show of reluctance.
"How do you know the mountains and marshes will definitely recover?"
Upon hearing this question, the Turtle Prime Minister laughed even louder, "Those who slay demons will eventually be assimilated by the demons, but there will always be those who fail to recognize reality and vainly pursue great power, only to end up becoming members of my race!"
Demon Slayer?
So that's how it is...
Zhang Ping's mind raced as he analyzed the information revealed by the Turtle Prime Minister.
"Get lost, kid. I'll let you take this woman with you because you've become Lord Shanze's vessel."
The Turtle Prime Minister revealed a compassionate expression, raised one of his huge front legs, and gestured for Zhang Ping to leave as if shooing away a fly.
At that very moment.
Zhang Ping suddenly saw something, and instantly swung his sword, black blood energy following him!
"Ghost Sword!"
It struck the turtle prime minister's scaleless feet!
The soles of his feet were thick-skinned but lacked scales for protection. They were cut open by the sharp blade's energy, spilling bluish blood.
The water flow followed closely behind, enveloping the blood and flying into his hand.
"ah!!"
Noticing the itch on the sole of his foot, the wound had already healed by the time Prime Minister Turtle realized what was happening. Upon seeing the blood on Zhang Ping's hand, he was immediately enraged!
He was the Turtle Prime Minister under the Demon Lord, yet he was injured by a grasshopper once again!
How can they maintain their standing among demons if word gets out?
"You're asking for it, kid!"
After he finished speaking, water bullets rained down from the sky.
"Old turtle, I'll take your shell next time we meet!"
Unexpectedly, once Zhang Ping succeeded, he grabbed Chu Hanwei in his arms and fled on water. The flying water bullets were controlled and dissipated by his divine power of water, posing no threat to him at all.
Watching the tiny ants flee, the Turtle Prime Minister roared in anger!
"My lord! Should we give chase?"
Demons rushed out from the dark cloud and asked.
"No need. Follow the Demon Lord's orders and seal off the Ghost River! I want to vent my anger on the humans to the south!"
"yes!"
......
"I'm back!"
A desolate mountain with scattered rocks, nestled in a low-lying valley.
Huiying and the others waited anxiously among the withered, dark bushes until they saw a figure rushing towards them in the distance, at which point they breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
"Sister Wei!" Xiao Ling'er was the first to run up and saw Chu Hanwei being held in Zhang Ping's arms.
At this moment, Chu Hanwei's face was pale, her thin lips were bloodless, and there were traces of blood left at the corners of her mouth.
"Her injuries are severe. Do you have any medication to treat them?"
Handing the soft body in his arms to Xiao Ling'er, Zhang Ping briefly recounted the battle that had just taken place, omitting some parts that could not be mentioned.
"Yes." Hearing his words, Xiao Ling'er nodded in realization and hurriedly took out a special medicine from her bosom and fed it to Chu Hanwei.
The medication took effect immediately.
Seeing this, Zhang Ping breathed a sigh of relief and went to Fu Huiying's side. After carefully inquiring, he learned that there was no problem.
Fu Huiying, however, was puzzled when she saw that his clothes had changed.
However, he did not ask any questions.
Most of the people waiting there were injured. When they saw Zhang Ping and his companion return, they prepared to set off.
After all, this place is still too close to the Ghost River. The terrifying demonic black cloud from earlier is still vivid in their minds, and the enormous demon who called himself the Turtle Prime Minister has left a shadow in the hearts of many people.
"Let's set off and get to the prefectural city as soon as possible."
The rest of the journey was exceptionally easy, and they didn't even encounter any powerful demons along the way.
The team traveled day and night without daring to stop.
Exhausted, they were fortunate to be near the capital and were able to rest for two days in the surrounding towns before setting off again.
......
The morning light is soothing.
The carriage traveled on the smooth yellow mud ground, with undulating, revitalized meadows on both sides, where birds, insects, and animals could be seen occasionally.
The sun rose from the mountainside in the distance, casting its morning light through the carved wooden windows into the carriage.
Feeling the warmth on her body, Fu Huiying woke up from her sleep.
Look up.
The man's profile was backlit by the morning light, his features sharply defined. He gazed quietly out the window.
"What are you looking at?"
The carriage was spacious, and she stretched lazily, revealing her alluring curves. She shifted her plump buttocks, pressing them against her tight, flat chest.
Zhang Ping's gaze fell on the grass on both sides of the yellow mud field, lingering from time to time on the blooming wildflowers.
Spring has arrived.
He stroked the lady's disheveled hair after she woke up and pulled her into his arms.
Fu Huiying revealed a contented look. "Is spring so special? Can't we see it every year?"
Zhang Ping shook his head. "No, this is the first time."
Fu Huiying didn't understand his words; she was still a little drowsy after just waking up.
The view outside the window was pleasant. Zhang Ping looked at it for a long time, then reached into the bundle at his feet, took out a box, and took out a small bottle from inside.
Inside the bottle was bluish blood.
Blood flowed, reflecting on his face.
This blood was taken from the Turtle Prime Minister. Zhang Ping was very interested in what the other party said about the descendants of Xuanwu, so he seized the opportunity to take some.
After all, the opponent's invincible defense was very tempting. If he really was a descendant of Xuanwu, he might be able to replicate the Xuanwu Body.
However, after examining the panel, he was speechless to find that there was no Xuanwu component in the blood at all, and the other party's so-called Xuanwu descendant was just bragging.
[Demon - Turtle Prime Minister] [Still Waters Settle]
[Still Water Stillness: A natural ability of the Still Water Turtle; remaining in water increases certain attributes and improves cultivation speed. It also slightly slows down the loss of life force.]
[Materials needed: Mountain stream stone, thousand-year-old turtle shell, carp blood, paulownia wood]
That turtle prime minister was a still-water turtle whose ancestors were mythical beasts. For some reason, he became a demon and even boasted that he was a descendant of Xuanwu.
Zhang Ping looked gloomy, but fortunately, the Still Water technique also had some effect, increasing cultivation speed; it also enhanced combat power in the water, complementing the divine power of water.
"If the materials are easy to find, they can be branded."
A thought flashed through his mind. He carefully put the bottle back in the box and put it away. Then he took out another rectangular wooden box, inside which was an account book.
