Author: My heart is still the same

Xie Changqing must be killed with his own hands before his inner demons can be turned into nourishment for the Zi Mansion.

This was Xu Chong's lie to deceive Dou Tianyuan.

As long as Xie Changqing is killed, it doesn't matter who does it.

However, in fact, in addition to deceiving Dou Tianyuan on this point, Xu Chong also concealed another thing.

He can control his inner demons.

Control the inner demons to leave the body and pour them into other people's bodies!

Long before asking Dou Tianyuan for help, Xu Chong had conducted experiments on some small animals.

The result, without exception, is that if you just insist on counting your breaths, you will die of old age...

Yes, die of old age.

The fur dries up, the claws fall off, and the muscle tissue shrinks.

Later, on the way to Xuzhou, Xu Chong conveniently arrested several local officials who had committed many evil deeds.

This time, he observed a precise reaction.

Those who are filled with inner demons will immediately give up all resistance, as if they are completely trapped in an illusion.

Fear, sadness, despair... a series of extreme emotions burst out together.

Whether it is an ordinary person or a warrior, they will suffer for a stick of incense in this state.

Those who are infected will be burned by a stick of incense, their minds will gradually become exhausted, their bodies will age rapidly, and they will eventually die.

A stick of incense is like a lifetime.

It is very similar to the Abi Hell in the legend of the past life, where the pain is endless and never-ending.

The only limit is distance.

The distance within which the inner demon can leave the body is less than three feet.

Once the target is not found within three feet, the inner demon will directly return to Zi Mansion.

Why does Xu Chongming pretend to have killed his enemy with his own hands even though he knew Xie Changqing was not dead?

Because he wants to lure Xie Changqing to show up.

Why did Xu Chong tell Xie Changqing in advance that he had guessed that he was not dead, and still clamored for Sanzhang to kill someone?

Because he wanted to convince Xie Changqing that he was at the end of his rope.

People are like this. When their original guesses are overturned, they will completely feel relieved.

In short, all of this is to bring Xie Changqing close to him, as close as within three feet!

And now, Xie Changqing's arm happened to be pinching Xu Chong's neck.

An arm's length is only a little over two feet.

so.

"——Abi Hell!"

The inner demon disappeared directly from Xu Chong's Zifu, as if teleporting, and appeared directly in Xie Changqing's Zifu.

At this time, Xie Changqing's right hand had begun to exert force.

However, only a small part of this force was used, and it suddenly relaxed.

He only choked Xu Chong until he coughed up blood, but failed to break his neck in the end.

Xie Changqing just froze in place.

"Um?!"

The old scholar noticed something was wrong and came suddenly, looking at Xie Changqing nervously.

Fear, despair...

This is what he interpreted from Xie Changqing's face.

Without thinking, the old scholar slapped Xie Changqing on the back of the neck.

However, this palm that should have been enough to make Xie Changqing unconscious did not have any effect it should have.

Xie Changqing just staggered for a moment, and then still stood there, his expression changing in various ways.

It's just that at this moment, gray has appeared on the temples.

The old scholar's heart sank, and he stared at Xu Chong fiercely: "What did you do to him?"

He was certain that until now, Xu Chong didn't have any energy left in his body to use.

What's more, he had been paying attention and didn't notice any movement by Xu Chong... With Yun's hand around, Xu Chong couldn't do anything except blinking, talking and tilting his head.

"It doesn't matter what I did to him, what matters is..."

Xu Chong laughed, his eyes clear: "He is dead."

At this time, Xie Changqing's facial features had been completely distorted to the point that he was no longer human.

"snort!"

The old scholar snorted coldly and tightened his hands on the control cloud: "If you want to threaten me with the same rhetoric as before, I can only say that you are too naive."

"Ahem..."

Xu Chong coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood, but still asked with a smile on his face: "Isn't it true? Once Xie Changqing dies, if the court doesn't find out every detail, they will never allow anyone to kill me."

"I admit this."

The old scholar nodded, then changed the topic, "But, why can't you die in Xie Changqing's hands?"

"What's the meaning?"

Xu Chong asked expressionlessly.

"It means that although I am not as dirty as the bloody guard and good at creating fake murder scenes, I can still learn such simple things now."

As he spoke, Xie Changqing's face was losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his hair was turning gray.

This made the old scholar's eyes darken, "If you remove the means now, I promise to give you a happy life..."

This method is simply unheard of!

Is it a new side technique?

A side technique that can be activated without consuming any energy, like the demon's disintegration?

Just by looking at it, the chill in the old Confucian's heart surged like a tide.

"Quick! Lift it!"

The old Confucian once again increased the strength of Yun Shou, "I swear by my Taoism, as long as you don't kill Xie Changqing, I will do my best to protect your life and win the imperial court's recruitment for you!"

Swearing by Taoism is a means of self-limitation in the realm of Taoism.

If you break your oath, you will not die, but your Taoism will be covered in dust and it will take a lot of time to cleanse it. The disadvantage is that you will be unable to make progress throughout your life.

For any Taoist, this can be said to be the biggest concession.

Lao Ru felt that Xu Chong would not refuse.

However.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Xu Chong signaled the old scholar to be calm and calm, "Three, two...down."

Xie Changqing fell down in response.

A stick of incense has arrived.

The old Confucian's face changed wildly, and he stretched out his hand to support him.

Looking at Xie Changqing again, his face was filled with fear, his pupils were dilated, and his whole body was as thin and shriveled as a dead branch.

It was obviously completely dead.

"……Why!!!"

Powerful anger rose from the old Confucian's body.

The light suddenly dimmed.

Boundless clouds gathered, rolled down and covered the entire hillside.

It was as if even the air pressure had increased several times, making it difficult for Xu Chong to breathe.

"Why?!"

The old scholar's eyes were fierce, "I have obviously promised to let you go, and promised to fight for your recruitment, why do you still want to kill Xie Changqing? Do you really want to die that much?"

"Ahem...I don't want to die, and I won't die either."
