Chapter 47: Heavenly Gang Blood Fiend, Greedy Wolf Exterminates Evil (Requesting Follows, Requesting Follows)

Shen Yi did not expect the plan to progress so smoothly.

Originally, he had planned to break through the initial realm within a month, before the Zhen Mo Si patrol arrived, to resolve the troubles left by his predecessor and, in the process, clear his bad reputation.

Now, only a little over ten days have passed; not only has he achieved a perfect cultivation in the initial realm, but the demons and monsters deeply involved have also been largely slain.

As for his reputation...

Even for something as trivial as a lost money bag, the common people dare to block the door and seek help.

It must not be bad.

Joining the Zhen Mo Si should be a sure thing.

Shen Yi looked at the panel.

【Remaining Lifespan: Forty-six years】

The consecutive two increases in lifespan came from the perfection of the mortal body and breaking through the initial realm.

If he lived until his natural end, that would be seventy-two years old.

Given the rotten living habits of his past life, with tobacco and alcohol never leaving his hands, to live to this age, Shen Yi truly had to thank his ancestors for their blessing and his super-strong genetic quality.

He was not an ungrateful person.

But how could living until one's natural end be so simple?

In such a short time, he had encountered so many life-threatening matters; he had not even truly left the county town, and the farthest he had gone was only the wasteland outside Shilin Village.

If he did not have martial arts to protect him, he would have died long ago, leaving not even a bone fragment behind.

Shen Yi had also thought about simply taking off this uniform, going to serve as a guest advisor for some wealthy dog, holding heavy silver, marrying a plump and soft beauty, closing the door, wrapping himself tightly in the quilt, and making a contribution to the population here.

It's just... who could guarantee that, after falling asleep once, he would not become the next Liu Qi.

Admittedly, his realm was far higher than Liu Qi's, but what did Ke Laoqi count for among so many demons and monsters?

"..."

Shen Yi stared at the panel; thinking of the imminent opportunity to leave Boyun County, his desire for the lifespan of demons and monsters grew even more intense.

【Remaining Demon Lifespan: Six hundred and fifty-two years】

The Blood Fiend Blade Art was just one step away from completion; tonight, he would definitely kick through the past.

As the lifespan was poured into it.

Lines of text appeared before his eyes.

【First year, based on your previous thoughts, you continued to attempt to refine the Blood Fiend attached to the blade by converting Qi into Gang】

【Seventh year, watching the red mist on the black blade gradually solidify, your heart became greatly settled; the saying that mastering one method allows mastery of all methods is not false】

【Twelfth year, due to acting too hastily, the Blood Gang shattered, damaging your meridians; you thought that all talk of mastering one method allowing mastery of all methods was nonsense; a hair's breadth off, a thousand miles astray; how can there be two identical leaves in the world】

Shen Yi felt the stinging pain coming from his entire body and felt slightly speechless.

How could simulating for so many years still result in acting like a brute, constantly making jokes with his body?

Bad brain, make up for it with courage?

Could you have a little more patience?

He slightly increased the speed of pouring in lifespan.

【Thirty-third year, you repaired the hidden injuries in your body, stabilized your mind, and first allowed the Blood Fiend and True Gang to blend and become familiar with each other】

【Fifty-ninth year, after years of attempts, your Gang Qi underwent a mutation; you vaguely felt your temperament gradually becoming irritable】

【Lost: Jade Liquid. Four-Combination True Gang (Perfect)】

【Comprehended: Jade Liquid. Heavenly Gang Blood Fiend (Perfect)】

【Ninety-seventh year, you completely suppressed the murderous intent stirring within your body; feeling the power of this mutated martial art far surpassing the past, you could not help but sigh that your initial idea was indeed correct】

【One hundred and twentieth year, after years of suppressing the demonic nature, your control over this path became increasingly profound; removing its demonic and evil qi and emphasizing the intent of slaughter, with a slight movement of your divine sense, a layer of invisible Gang Fiend quickly covered the blade】

【Comprehended: Jade Liquid. Greedy Wolf Exterminates Evil】

【Remaining Demon Lifespan: Four hundred and thirty-two years】

If not for the few lines of text that appeared at the end.

Shen Yi almost thought he had simulated the martial art incorrectly.

The Four-Combination True Gang he had just learned had suddenly turned into something completely different; unlike the previous upright and domineering nature, after being infected by the Blood Fiend, just from the name, one could feel that ferocity.

On the contrary, the original Blood Fiend Blade Art, which was heavily imbued with demonic and evil intent, had actually returned to simplicity, completely eliminating the taste of demons and monsters.

Greedy Wolf Exterminates Evil.

Shen Yi casually picked up Erhei, and the black long blade instantly unsheathed.

As the qi within the major acupoints circulated, the entire blade inexplicably appeared darker in Shen Yi's eyes... that was a feeling hard to describe, as if it had merged with the night, having no presence at all.

"..."

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment and touched it with his index finger.

The blade sank into the flesh without the slightest resistance; blood droplets did not roll down, but instead, in a very eerie manner, sank into the blade, turning into a barely visible blood line that vaguely wandered along the long blade.

Shen Yi silently stared at his fingertip.

After the perfection of the Golden Sun Eight Treasures Mysterious Body, this was the first time he had been injured.

And the part that made his heart race the most was... until the flesh was broken, if he had not been staring continuously, relying solely on the tactile sensation, he had not noticed it at all.

The black-gleaming Yi Blade seemed born solely for slaughter.

Shen Yi slowly sheathed the blade.

Amidst the surprise, he could not help but feel a bit wary.

Within the Jade Liquid Realm, there were actually such ruthless blade techniques; for a moment, he could not think of any countermeasure.

If there were another version of himself charging in with a blade to kill.

If it came to a frontal fight, that would be fine — first pull some distance, then smash it with over a hundred Four-Phase True Gang blasts, and even a small mountain would be shattered to pieces.

But if the other side refused to play fair and resorted to a sneak attack…

First throw an arm around his own neck, pretend to chat like old friends, then draw a blade and stab!

"…"

Shen Yi shook his head and channeled the demon's lifespan into the Golden Yang Eight Treasures Mystic Body.

He had to admit, the Vajra Gate's method was slow — it really was slow.

But it truly suited him.

The Eight Treasures Mystic Body was already complete, but a thing like physical body's strength had no upper limit.

Before deducing the second half, even if the boost grew slower and slower, a mosquito's leg of meat was still meat, no matter how small.

【First year, under the constant tempering of the qi within the orifice, your body has been slightly strengthened】

【Second year…】

When the first pale light of dawn arrived.

Shen Yi kept three hundred years of demon lifespan in reserve for emergencies.

He got up and moved his body a couple of times — skin toughness was hard to say, but his strength had genuinely grown by another twenty percent or so.

After changing clothes, he went to the stall at the door as usual: "One pancake, with two eggs."

"Master Shen, you usually have two — what's going on today, no appetite?"

The vendor worked with practiced ease, asking with a smile as he went.

"Not very hungry, just not used to an empty stomach."

Shen Yi took out the money and set it on the table, smiled, his gaze calm, with no trace of loneliness.

Given his current identity, he shouldn't have any overlap with those refined and pretty young ladies in the first place, let alone being a man of Zhen Mo Si.

"We're not deaf, you know."

The vendor glanced left and right, then said in a low voice: "Last night, they arrested a lot of people — all lords from the government office… You're not a lord, what are you worrying about for nothing."

Hearing this, Shen Yi took the pancake and glanced sideways down the long street.

They really moved fast.

According to the memories left by the previous body's owner, such a move meant Zhen Mo Si would completely take over Cypress Yunxian.

At the same time…

It was also time to pick people.

Whether he could land a good future depended entirely on today.
