He set his cup down upon seeing Zhou Qing and asked the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing would often drop by when things were quiet, but Shen Bai had never seen him this agitated before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing walked over, catching his breath. Making himself at home, he grabbed the tea on the table and chugged several large gulps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after he was done drinking did Zhou Qing speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lao Shen, something’s happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai was taken aback. \"Something happened? Is it that Five-Heart Sect again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If anything’s been going on lately,’ Shen Bai figured, ’it has to be related to the Five-Heart Sect.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded. \"That’s what I’m here to investigate. I’m just stopping by to let you know. They say someone found two bodies on Yangliu Street. The scene was gruesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A middle-aged man with both arms cut off, and a five or six-year-old girl, tortured to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The man’s arms were severed cleanly. It’s very likely related to the Five-Heart Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the hand Shen Bai was raising to his lips froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing and Shen Bai went way back; they were good friends. Noticing his reaction, he asked, \"Lao Shen, what is it? Have you run into trouble recently? You could always lie low at the Government Office for a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai snapped out of it and shook his head. \"It’s nothing, Old Zhou. Can I go with you to take a look?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing gave him an odd look. \"Lao Shen, I thought you hated getting involved in this kind of thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For something this major, of course I have to go see,\" Shen Bai said, putting down his teacup and standing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, Zhang Chaofeng entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai left Zhang Chaofeng in charge of the pawnshop, then he and Zhou Qing left and headed for Yangliu Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for Shengyun County, Yangliu Street was a remote and dilapidated area. Barely any families lived there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a huge crowd of onlookers was packed tightly around a house on Yangliu Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some constables were maintaining order, trying to disperse the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing led Shen Bai through the throng. Once they were clear, Shen Bai saw the scene in the clearing ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gaunt man, his arms missing, stared wide-eyed with an expression of one who had not died in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, a five-year-old girl’s entire skeleton was shattered, her limbs twisted at unnatural angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the little girl’s left hand, she was clutching a money pouch made of coarse cloth as if it were a priceless treasure. Even in death, she held it tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai took a deep breath, his hand subconsciously grasping the longsword at his waist, his face serene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing didn’t notice anything unusual about Shen Bai. He told him to watch from a distance and quickly joined the other constables to begin the investigation of the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai’s face was calm, but the hand gripping his sword hilt grew tighter and tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He never expected Yaya to be dead.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And to have died with all her bones shattered.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The pain she must have suffered was unimaginable.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of her hand clutching the money pouch, in particular, made the fire in Shen Bai’s eyes burn hotter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Zhou, I’m heading back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t stay here any longer,’ Shen Bai thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I stay any longer, I won’t be able to contain my rage.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was busy and didn’t pay him any mind, just giving a casual grunt of acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai turned and silently walked back toward the pawnshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, Shen Bai’s mind was in turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could accept the cruelty of life-and-death struggles in the Jianghu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to prey on the helpless—especially an innocent child—was simply monstrous in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai still remembered the way Yaya had clutched the money pouch, her eyes full of gratitude for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck. I’ve never been this angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shen Bai returned to the pawnshop, even Zhang Chaofeng could sense that something was off about his master’s mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once in the backyard, Shen Bai began grinding the Blood Sword Dance, the images of the corpses replaying in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A murderous intent began to stir in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Nightfall.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While practicing the Liver Blood Sword Dance, Shen Bai drank some Qi Blood Medicine, and his Skill Level progressed significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chaofeng had already left. People are always eager to get off work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, his Blood Sword Dance Skill Level saw another significant jump, approaching 1300.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai didn’t let up for a second. He was like a tireless Gan Di, grinding away with grim pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day’s events had brought him a moment of stark clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This world is a chaotic mess. You could lose your life at any moment.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’To live a good life, the only way is to get stronger.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Only when my strength is unrivaled can I truly begin to enjoy life.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night was as cool as water. The figure of Shen Bai practicing the Liver Blood Sword Dance continued to move, tireless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the stove nearby, the Qi Blood Medicine bubbled away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After grinding for a while longer, his Blood Sword Dance Skill Level finally hit 1300.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai took a short break, downed another dose of Qi Blood Medicine, and prepared to resume grinding once his Qi and blood had completed their Recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, something strange happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A knock came from the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai’s brows furrowed. He picked up his rusty longsword and walked toward the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Who could be looking for me at this hour?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought in mind, Shen Bai reached the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a sudden chill blew through the crack under the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the chill filled the room, Shen Bai felt as if he had been plunged into an icehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the crack of the door, Shen Bai thought he saw a pair of deathly pale eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Shen Bai could draw his longsword, the door suddenly swung open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the door stood two figures, one large and one small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gaunt man’s arms were gone, his empty sleeves fluttering in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yaya held one of the sleeves, tilting her head as she sized up Shen Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were deathly pale, her face was bloodless white, and her limbs were twisted like withered branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’An aberration.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai understood with a single glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yaya and her father had been tortured to death during the day. Now, their resentment had festered and turned them into these twisted things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir... money...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yaya’s right hand, she held a bag of blood-stained money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold, sinister words came from Yaya’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, with a calm gaze, Shen Bai’s rusty longsword flared with a brilliant, righteous aura as it slashed across the necks of Yaya and her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Sword Dance stirred his Qi and blood. As the terrifying power surged, the gaunt man’s head was the first to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Yaya seemed to be provoked and started screaming madly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her twisted limbs hit the ground, and she crawled toward Shen Bai, her deathly pale eyes filled with a bloodthirsty desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai swung his longsword back around in a single slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a whoosh of air, a bloody gash appeared on Yaya’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the gash widened, Yaya and the gaunt man both dissolved into two plumes of black smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Acquired two wisps of Evil Qi]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his eyes, words formed from smoke appeared and quickly vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, upon acquiring the Evil Qi, Shen Bai felt none of his usual excitement. Instead, there was only the calm before a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the spot where the father and daughter had vanished into black smoke, Shen Bai sheathed his rusty longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This debt of vengeance for you both... I’ve put it on my books.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the dark street, Shen Bai’s voice echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1344,"2026-06-03T14:13:26.865Z","2026-06-03T14:13:33.156Z",1,"novelbin.me","bc02abe9c66700100dea811ee916a5e7762a69a8d7e7a853990454604778e90d","i-can-extract-divine-power-chapter-120","i-can-extract-divine-power-chapter-119",322,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-extract-divine-power-cover.jpg"]
