Every slash he made was as if he were cutting his own flesh; every move he made, the fury in his eyes grew stronger, muttering to himself, faintly heard as \"damn it damn it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan glanced worriedly at this nephew of his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could somewhat guess what was on his nephew’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nephew was a good person, a true knight, if he were an official, he would likely be a clean one too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this era, he was also of the type most likely to die...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, the fact that he could survive a round in Jade Capital City was already a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zhu patrolled the skies, overseeing the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After advancing to the Fifth Grade, his perception could cover over ten miles, but that didn’t mean beyond ten miles he was completely unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within ten miles was crystal clear, and beyond was perceptible though hazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, from his high vantage, constantly patrolling, it was still easy to detect any activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other seven swept through Xichuan County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the \"frontline,\" Xichuan County naturally hid many corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in this \"move and die\" environment, the weaknesses of the corpses were fully exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For them to attack, certain actions were needed, like licking a sugar figure or closing a door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how stealthy, an action was still an action, especially one needing to be executed close to High Grade Martial Artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the life level of Sixth Grade Martial Artists was far beyond ordinary people; their five senses, emotions, and memory surpassed that of ordinary people by a large margin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These small actions might be unrecognizable in a bustling market, but in this environment, they were utterly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corpses just about to make a move were directly slain, and the items in their hands became spoils of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than an hour...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xichuan County was successfully cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd toyed with the spoils taken from the corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Hua held a rabbit-shaped sugar figure, turning it in the sunlight, clicking his tongue in amazement, \"Just this thing almost killed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Han Feng held a door handle, \"I’ve seen this handle design before... Luckily, I didn’t enter that door. At the time, I thought it was something with the house, but turns out it was this handle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Rou, in a female battle gown, grasped a spear, standing beside her husband, looking at the handle, \"Are these the tools the corpses use to assassinate us?

Jianlong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Seventh Grade could use this pendant to survive the deadly trap of the corpses. The pendant’s defensive power was apparent and it must be effective for Martial Artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If each of them could carry a few of these [Copper Pendants], why would they fear the corpses’ assassination?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Baishou was a decisive person, immediately saying, \"Junior Brother Yan, will you sell this pendant? I’m willing to offer a hundred taels of Blood Gold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred taels of Blood Gold could purchase one hundred and fifty pounds of Sixth Grade Demon Beast Meat, enough to supply a Sixth Grade Martial Artist for a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Yan Mu could speak, Mu Hua immediately said, \"Senior Brother Shan, this item, you must be kidding we wouldn’t sell it, right? Moreover, a hundred taels of Blood Gold is too little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Baishou said, \"It hasn’t been tested yet, a hundred taels isn’t too little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking, he added, \"This pendant might only fend off some ordinary corpse attacks, it might not block the fatal ones.\u003C\u002Fp>",994,"2026-06-06T05:24:25.078Z",1,"novelbin.me","78e3bdfd80050f1e6571518f34af8523d99e7c6311f531c9039afae90da5f06c","eternal-life-starts-as-a-hunter-chapter-159","eternal-life-starts-as-a-hunter-chapter-271",563,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starts-as-a-hunter-cover.jpg"]
