Mortal Mirror

It turned out that the beggar was Huang Batian, and the monk was the Stone Buddha from Stone Plate Mountain.

On that day of the great battle at Stone Plate Mountain, Huang Batian carried the Stone Buddha while running away. The Stone Buddha begged him, even offering to become his servant, to help him achieve a flesh and blood body.

Huang Batian felt this was a good deal. Even if he was strong on his own, he was alone and weak. The Stone Buddha's methods were remarkable, and with his help, he wouldn't have been made so miserable by Li Ergou last time.

His father had long told him that a hero needs ten helpers, and someone without helpers can't be considered a hero.

Although he didn't think of himself as a hero, being without helpers was indeed not good. He liked freebies the most, so why wouldn't he take this one?

Thus, he unhesitatingly signed a blood pact with the Stone Buddha.

Immediately, he carried the Stone Buddha and slaughtered two towns in a row, absorbing their blood and flesh power. Only then did the Stone Buddha break out of its shell and become a flesh and blood Buddha.

It must be said, this guy was incredibly fierce. Along the way, Huang Batian felt how good it was to be a boss.

The two of them were not polite, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil, earning a fortune, making Huang Batian sigh that free stuff is indeed the best.

In this day and age, strength is the only truth. He and the Stone Buddha had no opponents when they joined forces, which made his ambitions even more inflated.

Even after arriving in Baojing Prefecture, he was not afraid at all. In his heart, everyone deserved to die.

The soldiers at the city gate actually questioned him and constantly provoked him, so their fate was very miserable, the kind where death was the only option.

The Stone Buddha looked at Baojing Prefecture in front of him, his eyes gleaming, and said, "So much flesh and blood, Boss, should we absorb them all?"

Huang Batian smiled sinisterly and said, "Stone Buddha, don't be anxious. These people will be in our stomachs sooner or later, but this is a prefecture after all, and I don't know how many experts are inside. If we're not careful, we'll lose our little lives.

We still have to be patient for now and see what happens.

And you, a Buddhist disciple, have at least heard many Buddhist scriptures, don't you spend all day fighting and killing? Isn't that embarrassing the Buddha?"

The Stone Buddha revealed an evil smile and said, "The Buddha said, killing to become a demon is also the Buddha. I become a Buddha through killing, and I am also a true Buddha. Using my Buddha power to transform those ants is also a great fortune for them."

Huang Batian couldn't help but sigh, "Alright, you guys have culture, I can't argue with you, but you're here, so be obedient to me. You have to know who is the boss.

Don't cause me trouble, I have important things to do."

The Stone Buddha was now under Huang Batian's control, his life was in the hands of the other party, so he naturally didn't dare to be arrogant and could only obey.

However, judging from the evil light emanating from his eyes, it was difficult for this guy to be completely honest.

Thus, under Huang Batian's leadership, the Stone Buddha and his back slowly disappeared into the night of Baojing Prefecture.

Li Ergou had no idea that Huang Batian was becoming more courageous after setbacks, like an unkillable cockroach. At this moment, he was full and satisfied, and took Bai Su and Ye Wanwan back to the post station.

Back in his room, he began to recall the various insights he had gained during today's fight.

He felt that his defense was still not enough. Fighting against opponents of the same level should not be a problem, but fighting against opponents of a higher level was still not enough.

Who knows, his demands on himself were getting higher and higher.

The Xuanwu armor only had seven pieces. No matter how he used it, its defense was too low. This Xuanwu armor could be considered his first layer of protection. If possible, he would definitely not use his body as a meat shield, which was a major taboo in fighting.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to see how hard his body was today, he wouldn't be foolish enough to let people attack his body.

Therefore, he had to continue refining the Xuanwu armor.

As for the major tendons, all of them had been refined by him. He could only continue to refine his major tendons to make them more resilient.

Without thinking too much, he circulated his Xuan Gong and began to refine the tortoise shell.

As his cultivation deepened, the speed of refining the tortoise shell was naturally different from before. Infinite power instantly allowed a piece of tortoise shell to begin to take shape. The reason it was so fast was also because of his accumulated strength.

That night, he refined three tortoise shells in one breath. Of course, these three tortoise shells were only prototypes, the kind that would shatter upon touch, having only the shape. If he wanted them to work, he didn't know how long it would take to refine them.

The night passed quickly, and the next morning arrived in the blink of an eye.

Before Li Ergou could wake up from his cultivation, he heard a knock on the door.

"Bang, bang, bang"

"Who is it?"

"Me, Wanwan, Brother Ergou, Bai Su invited us to have breakfast together."

Li Ergou was slightly surprised, wondering what Bai Su was up to. Usually, she wouldn't be like this.

Arriving at the post station lobby, Bai Su had already occupied a good window seat.

Outside the window, birds sang and flowers bloomed. A cool breeze brought the cool morning air, making people feel refreshed.

Li Ergou and Ye Wanwan sat down, and Li Ergou joked, "Oh, is there something good happening today? Why did you think of treating us to breakfast?"

Bai Su smiled lightly and said, "What, you're not happy?"

"Happy, of course I'm happy, it's just very unexpected?"

Bai Su hummed softly, "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of it. The Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin, and more and more outsiders are coming to Baojing Prefecture. It seems that it won't be long before all the young talents in the world gather here.

I received a letter from my senior brother, and in a few days he will set off from Qingcheng Mountain to come here. After the Martial Arts Tournament is over, he will take me to the North Sea to see my master."

Originally in a happy mood, after hearing what Bai Su said, Li Ergou's mood became a little low again. Those who should leave will eventually leave.

Seeing Li Ergou's disappointment, Bai Su didn't know what it tasted like in her heart, and quickly said, "Let's not talk about these things. The reason I'm telling you these things is just to let you know that you shouldn't be too proud. Great Xia is huge, and I don't know how many peerless talents there are.

You must know that many powerful experts come from major sects. It is rumored that Chen Qingping, the eldest senior sister of Yunzhi Tiangong, Ji Nantian, the peerless talent of Tiandao Sect, and the monk Juekong of Faguang Temple.

The Four Great Academies will also send their respective young generation experts. Among them, Jian Wuxin of Daoxia Academy has been an infinitely brilliant peerless genius for several years.

It is also rumored that some secret sects, forbidden areas, and major families will also let some disciples appear in the world.

You may not know that, in addition to these three major sects and four major academies, there are some hidden sects, and these sects are all incredibly powerful existences.

Forbidden areas are even more daunting existences, and there are also many elite disciples constantly appearing in the families.

Today's Great Xia is full of talents, like carps crossing the river. Not only that, I heard that this World's First Martial Arts Tournament coincides with the number of ten thousand years.

Therefore, the Great Xia Dynasty allows the monsters and demon cultivators on the mountain to participate in this grand event."

Li Ergou couldn't help but open his mouth wide and said, "What's the situation? I didn't hear wrong, did I? Monsters are fine, but demon cultivators, aren't they supposed to be hunted down upon discovery?"

Bai Su shook her head and said, "This world is naturally not black and white. Some demon cultivators, as long as they have not done evil and are not on the court's wanted list, can also travel the world.

Even the court has great demons working in it, you can't imagine it.

Demon cultivators are just on a different path of cultivation, and ultimately they all lead to the same goal.

It's just that some demon cultivators are eager to achieve success and insist on doing some outrageous killings, which is why they are not tolerated by the world.

Some good demon cultivators are still okay. After all, demon cultivators usually have much stronger combat power than righteous cultivators, and powerful demon cultivators are also the objects of the court's solicitation."

Li Ergou was speechless, and asked again, "What about demons? Could it be that demons are also the objects of the court's solicitation."
