Chapter 62: The Demon King

For the last ghost market, both Chengxin and I felt that there was no need to participate. We were afraid that the last mysterious ghost market would require another sky-high price, and that even if there were places available, we would not be able to participate. The two organizations that hosted the ghost market were very greedy and it was not reassuring. So, if we could save one, we would!

Although we are trying to save money, we really can’t stand the food. A lunch box for 50 yuan is not enough to fill you up. It’s better to get a 500 yuan meal with four dishes and a soup. I have a big fight tomorrow afternoon, so I can’t afford to starve myself. My master has always taught me that you need to eat well to have the energy to work!

This day at the ghost market was really a day of leisure. There was nothing to do, and I could eat well and sleep soundly.

But happy times are always short, and the day passed in the blink of an eye. It was soon the afternoon of the next day, and I had an appointment with Feng Wei to fight.

According to the rules, Feng Wei and I had to write an application similar to a consent form for life and death. To be on the safe side, I wrote the application in great detail, including that Feng Wei could only use one move, while I had no restrictions. I wrote clearly that nothing could endanger my life.

Feng Wei just glanced at it and signed his name in a flourish, then pressed his thumbprint. He looked confident, not at all concerned about these details.

After Feng Wei signed and stamped his name, I also signed and stamped my name. Then it was up to the two organizations to decide, and we just had to wait for the battle to begin.

An hour later, all the preparations were almost complete and the battle officially began.

I went to the so-called magic circle, which was still the same empty lot as last time, but there were more people watching than last time. After all, it was the last day of the ghost market, and many people had already completed or given up what they wanted to do. According to the rules, they had to wait until the ghost market was over before they could go out, so of course they were happy to watch the excitement.

I thought to myself, should the Dark and Light organizations give me some tickets, or a commission on the betting? If it weren’t for my sharp mind, they would never have had such an unexpected income.

The open space at the magic arena was very large. Feng Wei stood about 100 meters away from me, still wearing a black robe, with his hands behind his back, looking like a wise man. He didn’t make a move until a man in black announced the start of the magic battle.

After all, no matter how thick his skin is, it can’t be thick enough to preempt a junior.

But I couldn’t care less. This time I was sure I was going to use the Zhongmao technique, which took quite a long time to perform. Before that, I had to use a secret technique. You keep your high-minded demeanor, and I close my eyes the next moment and pinch a special hand gesture.

This is a secret technique of our Li family, which is particularly short. It can burn your spiritual power and skills in an instant, allowing you to exert the power of the technique. But as I have said before, every secret technique has a price. After using this technique, my soul will be in a weak state for ten days.

This means that within ten days, I will transform from a Taoist priest into an ordinary person, and I will no longer be able to perform any magic.

What’s even more terrifying is that once this spell is cast, there is no turning back. Before you finish the spell, it will continue to burn your soul power and skills. When you run out of soul power and skills, you will need to sacrifice your life span or something like that.

In this battle, I can only win, not lose, so I have no choice but to use this secret technique, which is full of drawbacks.

When Feng Wei saw me make my move, he finally made his move as well. He had said that he would only use one move, so I didn’t expect him to be merciful at all. Besides, can you expect any mercy from the tricks of the evil?

My secret technique is very short, and the incantation is also very short. In just half a minute, my secret technique was completed. The moment I opened my eyes, I felt as if my whole body had been thrown into a bomb, and a silent “boom” sounded. Then a strange feeling of boiling soul spread all over my body.

When I looked up, my face turned a strange shade of red, as if I had drunk too much.

At this time, I felt that my spirit was stronger than ever before. If I had used the Zhongmao technique before, I could exert one tenth of my master’s strength. After using the secret technique, I was confident that I could exert three tenths of my master’s strength.

Before I used the Zhongmao technique, I glanced at Feng Wei’s situation. He had already made his move. To ordinary people, he had just cut his left thumb and was standing there with a look of pain on his face. But I saw something completely different when I used the Heavenly Eyes of the Fighting Arts!

Under the Heavenly Eye, I saw a snake-like demon clearly coiled around Feng Wei’s left hand, gnawing at Feng Wei’s spiritual power and blood!

This Feng Wei is indeed vicious. He said he would only use one move, and the condition for my victory in this battle is that I can injure him. Sure enough, he is not at all generous. He uses this kind of thing, and if I don’t destroy the demon head, I can’t hurt him at all.

Yes, the demon head will not harm my life, but it can turn me into a madman or an idiot! This is something even more terrifying than a ghost.

What is a demon head? This is something that orthodox Taoist priests would never raise, because the counterattack power is astonishing, and the cost of using it is also very high. It either needs to devour your soul power, or your essence and blood, or even your vitality…

Even on ordinary days, you can’t relax, you have to feed it with your blood and energy at all times.

There are all kinds of demons, and they are formed in different ways. In the most common case, they are formed by various incomplete spirits that are full of negative emotions, and they devour each other!

Pure demons are rare, and many demons are a concentrated body of negative emotions, and are full of the most filthy yin energy. Just imagine how much of an impact such a thing has on people?

This kind of thing is the best help for harming people, harming people, and even killing people without making a sound. Only a real little ghost can surpass it!

But the price of a real demon is too high. There is a secret technique in the middle, and even a person with Feng Wei’s power may not be able to succeed. Therefore, demons are extremely rare. If Feng Wei released not a demon but a demon today, I would have to sacrifice my longevity.

I closed my eyes after just one glance, and a strategy for dealing with it already appeared in my mind. After all, the sacrifice of a demon requires a little time. I can’t tell which kind of demon Feng Wei’s demon is, but it definitely isn’t the kind of demon that has little power and just haunts you for a while.

A powerful demon can instantly fill your mind and brain with negative emotions, then drive you crazy. And that’s not all, it will also take the opportunity to devour your soul power, vitality, and so on.

That is the highest-level demon, but the main spirit of Feng Wei, the snake-shaped demon, should be an animal spirit, which is far from the highest-level demon.

Feng Wei is still feeding the demon with his body, which is indeed the most sure-fire way to deal with me. At this moment, I took out a blue talisman from my backpack and placed it on my chest. After all, the demon is just a collection of evil spirits, so using a talisman is certainly effective.

However, Feng Wei saw my action and a sneer appeared on his face, as if I was using the talisman to protect myself and dealing with the demon was just a joke.

He didn’t know that I was just trying to buy time.

The next moment, I no longer cared about Feng Wei’s every move, closed my eyes again, and fell into deep meditation, beginning to perform the Zhongmao technique. No matter what, the Zhongmao technique takes a long time to perform, and I will only have a chance to win when the technique is complete!

Everything went exceptionally well. I sensed the familiar power again. This time, I burned my soul power and skill, and even the casting time of the Zhongmao technique became a little shorter. I hoped that this time, with the support of my soul power, I would be able to exceed my master’s strength.

In the world of the mind, everything is absolutely quiet, but I distinctly hear the sound of the crowd’s loud cheers and boos. I can’t hear what they’re shouting, but I can feel the coldness around me. At the same time, a strange “cuckoo” sound begins to ring out in the arena.
