Clearly Jing needs to Manly Lion's Roar right into his mouth.Ugh, he is singing too! This is too womanly! Why have we not yet ROARED in his face?
So that's how they multiply, huh?Edit: the more I think about this, the more I like it... seriously.
Chixiao Sword
A blood-red sword drawn from the corpse of a giant white snake, this sword once belonged to the founding Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang. It has a commanding presence, and is rumoured to have been bestowed upon the Han Emperor by an immortal. Its whereabouts have been unknown since the fall of the Han Dynasty more than six hundred years ago, but recently it is rumoured that a mysterious swordsman has been spotted wielding a crimson blade.
It wasn't exactly a demon.In the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC), there was a young man who liked to talk big. One day he got a rotten steel rod and told people that it was a sword he got from an immortal living in Nanshan Mountain, and named it Chi Xiao, always carrying his “sword.” He also boasted that he was the incarnation of a red dragon from Heaven, and that he had known Emperor Qin, who, according to him, was the incarnation of a white dragon. He even said that the incarnation of the Emperor had turned from a white dragon into a white snake wandering around Feng Xize, claiming that he, with more magic power now than the Emperor Qin, would replace him as the emperor.
People all around knew that he was a braggart and did not believe his nonsense. However, people’s distrust toward him changed after what happened one night. On that night, a few dozen young people, including the braggart, carrying his sword, went to the town of Feng Xize to do some apprentice work. On the way there, they were confronted by a huge white snake. Terrified by it, no one dared to move. It was the braggart who volunteered to kill the snake, chasing it into the woods. The others waited for him to return, but he did not come back that night. Finally, they returned home, believing that he had become the supper of the snake.
The next day, people found the snake killed and the young man lying nearby. His rotten steel rod had been replaced by a glittering sword, with two characters on it reading: “Chi Xiao.” Astounded by this scene, people realized that what the braggart said was all true. The young man was Liu Bang, who later defeated Emperor Qin and founded the Han Dynasty. The sword Chi Xiao was the one he used to kill the snake and lead battles in his revolution against the emperor. Hence, the white dragon was replaced by Liu’s red dragon, and Chi Xiao became known as a sword of sovereignty.
Sure, but here is what we have going against it:It would have been, yeah, if Jing hadn't destroyed another demon before using the exact same method. And that's not the only thing going for it either. It is surprising as hell too (unless he hugs us and kisses back, cue all females passing out from an overdose of sexy) and we know that our chaotic qi is very harmful to humans as well as demons.
Okay, so you expect to devise some sort of master plan in a short moment with Zhang Minyue, who you only just met and whose only move you know is her Style 24 spam, and you want to do this while in earshot of the Sword Demon with the intention of entering inside the Sword Demon's sword range, which is extremely difficult against master swordsmen, to deliver an extremely close range lethal kiss? I think the difference in our opinions is that you think this is just stupid enough to work while I think this is just stupid enough to be really fucking stupid and suicidal. Just because he wont be expecting the kiss doesn't mean he won't slice us to pieces before we can surprise him. Remember, against the toad demon, we had the demon completely locked down while we tried this.A. You quickly devise a plan together with Zhang Minyue to catch the Sword Demon offguard. If he is truly a demon… well, you remember how you once dealt with one. You just need to get that mask off, do the deed, and you should be able to claim victory. Hopefully. Even if it doesn’t work, it should be surprising enough that you can make a comeback.
Treave, if I may, what color(s) is(are) the mask? I assume that Jing, being raised in court, would know what the colors correspond to for meaning.
Meta: D was added about five minutes after the update was posted, so one of the A-C options is the correct one. I just wonder which one of them it is.
treave, is the "spider-web slingshot-sword trap" Jing made something that came because of that INT bonus Jing got?
while in earshot of the Sword Demon
Wasn't that your argument that would have led to us blowing up instead of getting the WQ skill in the first place?But A is what we know, while B is imitating the quite possibly demonic swordsman's qi.
We're dead.Treave, if I may, what color(s) is(are) the mask? I assume that Jing, being raised in court, would know what the colors correspond to for meaning.
The colours are white and red
So it's the best according to the Hagakure.The problem I have with A is that is looks overly playful, .
He doesn't. The whole point of Wuxiang Qiankun is that we properly adapt to the qi we are copying. This is a legendary technique that can incorporate both Xiaoming Jiuyang and the Xuanming Jiuyin legendary neigongs at the same time when anyone else would go insane and/or destroy themselves but somehow this demon swordsman's qi is supposed to be too hard to copy safely?These two are pretty good. Where does treave say WQS does that though. (Not doubting you. Sounds familiar.)
Yeah, I looked for it, but came up with nothing.He doesn't.
Well, here goes nothing!” As you approach, every fine detail of those wrinkled, slimy lips come into focus. You leap onto the monstrous Lady Mi. Gritting your teeth, you clamp your mouth over its maw. Nothing is happening. You feel the mushy flesh sliding around and the stank, fetid breath of the surprised monster. Nothing seems to be happening, except for a certain nasty catch in your throat that is about to cause you to empty your stomach. “Blow! Blow into it!” shouts Xiahou Yu. Cursing the day you stepped foot into this mansion, you blow as hard as you can. The demon shrieks. Plumes of foul green vapour begin shooting out from its skin as it scratches at you, attempting to pull you off, but you can sense it weakening. Still, it is not dead.
“It is not enough,” shouts Zhong Hai. “We need to take more conclusive action! Keep it occupied while I set up the talismans!” You are unable to ask how long he needs, as the wild, sticky tongue of the toad demoness suddenly finds its way halfway down your throat. You gag, but your willpower keeps you clinging on as you continue to breath into your opponent, your lips closed firmly over its own. You wave your hand about in a panic, hoping that they’ll hurry up – you cannot hold on for much longer. After what seems like an eternity, there is a flash of lightning. You feel a round, smooth object, much like a large pearl, being pushed into your mouth. Stuck in the position that you are, you cannot help but swallow. The demon shrieks. The object of your long kiss evaporates, turning into a puff of pale smoke and scattering into thin air.
Almost instantly, your surroundings seem to shift and change. Light begins to stream in through the small holes in the roof and the half open windows. For some reason, it is now day. You cough and sputter, groaning as you try to gulp in as much air as you can. Even the dusty atmosphere of the abandoned mansion is better than that stench you endured while kissing the demon.
But for now, things seem to be over.
