Great Demon Leader: Start By Refining Flying Zombies

Chapter 44: The Hundred Beauties Portrait

However, Liang Xiao's Flame Dragon had bought them quite a bit of time.

Seeing these strange female ghosts continuously appearing, even a fool could tell that there was definitely something fishy going on inside.

Not understanding the intricacies of the situation, Liang Xiao was afraid that his mana would be depleted and he wouldn't be able to pass this trial.

Taking advantage of the remaining time, Liang Xiao curiously asked, "Qin Long, it seems like you weren't pulled into the illusion just now?"

Pandora's perception of the environment was different from that of humans, and she was also a zombie. She was naturally immune to the illusions of female ghosts, but why didn't the female swordsman fall for it either?

In the end, it was only him who was unlucky enough to almost be killed by a female ghost.

"These undead female ghosts also have the ability to cast illusions?"

Qin Long's expression froze for a moment, as if he hadn't felt anything, but then he couldn't help but become serious, feeling that the threat level of these weak female ghosts had once again increased.

"Hehehe, little girl, you possess a special constitution. You're not just some mediocre Qi Refining fourth layer kid. Why fear these female ghosts?"

"The Wondrous Sword Heavenly Sound Body naturally has an affinity with the way of the sword. The principles of swordsmanship are self-evident. Furthermore, there is a Formless Sword Sound that protects the body inside and out, cutting down external evils. Even the Gold Core of the old ancestor was temporarily suppressed..."

The Hundred Tribulations Daoist stared at Qin Long with saliva dripping from his mouth. In his green-flamed pupils, there was greed and regret.

"You're quite regretful for not successfully cross-dressing, old ghost!"

Liang Xiao's face turned dark. It seemed that he had been too relaxed with this old ghost recently and lacked the necessary pressure. That's why he couldn't recognize the difference between the big and small kings and dared to mock himself.

The Hundred Tribulations Daoist had roamed the cultivation world for hundreds of years and naturally became a shrewd person. Although he accidentally spoke his mind for a moment, he immediately put on a fake smile to remedy the situation, saying, "Hehe, Liang Xiao, you're a devil brat who can make the old ancestor lose face. You must have great luck. How could you be just a fish in a pond?"

"A certain Demon Dao Supreme once said, what does talent count for? Haven't you heard that there is no path that can't be overcome?"

"The king who emerges from adversity can unify the world!"

"Now, with the old ancestor assisting you, tsk tsk, in the old ancestor's opinion, you are just a hidden dragon in the abyss. I'm afraid you will achieve great things in the Demon Dao in the future!"

Listening to this old guy becoming more and more outrageous, Qin Long felt amused and even his suppressed mood lightened a lot.

But seeing the female ghosts getting closer and closer, she still shouted, "Liang Xiao, since this old guy has already mentioned the name of these female ghosts, called the Hundred Beauties Portrait, he must have a plan to defeat them."

Liang Xiao nodded and looked at the old ghost.

The Hundred Tribulations Daoist licked his lips and also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, a Gold Core ancestor flattering a Qi Refining junior was a bit embarrassing, cough cough.

"If the old ancestor's guess is correct, these female ghosts are actually a rare Demon Dao Supreme Grade Spirit Weapon called the Hundred Beauties Portrait."

"The Hundred Beauties Portrait? Demon Dao Supreme Grade Spirit Weapon..."

Liang Xiao exclaimed softly because the Hundred Tribulations Daoist used to be an extremely prestigious Rank Three artifact refining master.

Although he hadn't formally followed him to refine a Law Weapon during these days, he had still heard and learned quite a bit about related terms. He was no longer as ignorant as before.

Cultivators have different realms, and naturally, the Law Weapons they use also have different grades.

From low to high, they are Pseudo Spirit Weapon, Spirit Weapon, Law Treasure, Dao Weapon, and the Immortal Weapon that is said to have power comparable to that of an immortal!

Each grade is further divided into Low Grade, Middle Grade, and High Grade.

The Law Weapons used by ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators are mostly just Pseudo Spirit Weapons.

"My Huo Chi Bead and Qin Long's Luo Water Sword are only Middle Grade Spirit Weapons at best. The Hundred Beauties Portrait you mentioned is actually a Supreme Grade Spirit Weapon. How come I've never heard you talk about this grade of Law Weapon before?"

Liang Xiao stared at Baijie Daoist suspiciously, wondering if this old guy had found some loophole in the oath and was hiding something from him.

The latter felt wronged and explained helplessly, "This is a profound knowledge that you haven't touched upon yet. It involves some special Law Weapons, which are not made through conventional methods. They often possess tremendous power and even have the potential to advance in rank. Only these treasures can be called Supreme Grade weapons of the same level."

Then, Baijie Daoist briefly described the process of refining this treasure.

It turned out that the materials for making the rough body of this treasure, called Spirit Weapon, were extremely rare and hard to find. Even a casual cultivator at the Foundation Building Stage couldn't collect them all.

Even if the rough body was cast, it was only halfway done.

It still required the sacrifice of a virgin with a beautiful appearance, draining her Primordial Yin, and tormenting her with special soul-refining methods.

This soul-refining process was extremely cruel, and only one out of ten souls could survive. In the end, their memories from their past lives were erased, their resentment soared, and they turned into vengeful ghosts.

A hundred vengeful ghosts had to be gathered before this Spirit Weapon could be considered complete.

Once it was completed, as long as the main body of the Spirit Weapon was not destroyed, the vengeful ghosts would not be extinguished.

However, this treasure was extremely evil. Every time it was used, it required the sacrifice of mortals to condense blood mist.

Within the blood mist, the power of the vengeful ghosts would greatly increase, possessing the effects of charm, illusion, and fear. Its power was astonishing and extremely difficult to deal with.

"The Hundred Beauties Picture is such a Supreme Grade Demon Dao Spirit Weapon. I didn't expect to see it in this mortal kingdom. It seems that the person behind this mansion is not an ordinary person!" Baijie Daoist, as a senior member of the Demon Dao, was truly unpredictable in his thinking.

At this moment, he was actually looking at the increasing number of vengeful ghosts with appreciation, thinking that Yan Wushu was a promising candidate for the Demon Dao.

However, Qin Long fell completely silent, his gaze fixed on the vengeful ghosts that were slowly approaching.

Although they looked the same, upon closer inspection, there were indeed slight differences in the height and body shape of the vengeful ghosts.

If it weren't for his own fortuitous encounter, he might have been one of these many vengeful ghosts.

"Old ghost, how do we deal with this?" Liang Xiao was also shocked by the cruel refining process of this treasure and its terrifying power after being completed.

"Hehe, this Hundred Beauties Picture is indeed a deadly weapon against the Qi Refining stage cultivators. Because the spiritual perception range of the Qi Refining stage is too limited, the Spirit Weapon hides behind the scenes and can continuously release vengeful ghosts to consume them."

"Many cultivators don't even know where these vengeful ghosts come from and end up dying confusedly."

Baijie Daoist focused his senses for a moment and immediately pointed in a direction, indicating that the main body of the Spirit Weapon was over there in the depths of the corridor.

"Do you want to deal with the main body of the Spirit Weapon? This time, let me do it!" Qin Long's face showed a hint of a smile, but his eyes were as cold as a frigid pool, emitting a strong aura of power.

Clang!

As she took a step forward, a clear and melodious sword hum resonated from within her body, and an invisible momentum began to surround her.

On the narrow corridor, a sufficient number of vengeful ghosts had already gathered and were launching an assault at this moment.

Hundreds of vengeful ghosts gathered together like a dark cloud, reaching out their claws from above and below, their sinister and cold faces filled with hatred towards the living.

"Perish, all of you! I will remember your grudges as well!" Qin Long's side was filled with the sound of breaking through the air as a Formless Sword Qi automatically shuttled through the enemies. Every vengeful ghost that was hit let out a miserable scream and dissipated.

She held the sword "Luoshui" at her waist, accumulating her sword momentum step by step. Dozens of vengeful ghosts were like moths flying into a flame, perishing under the sound of the Formless Sword Qi.

Liang Xiao watched in a daze. Was this Qin Long's true strength? Without even drawing his sword, those vengeful ghosts were already helpless against his Innate Formless Sword Qi.
