The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Ji Chen glanced coldly at Wu Gang, who was still shouting at his feet, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He never bothered to waste words on such fools who were about to die and still didn't know how to repent.

His right leg was raised high like an axe, and slammed down in Wu Gang's suddenly contracted pupils!

"Snap!"

The crisp sound of bones cracking was particularly jarring in the silent, deserted street. Wu Gang's left hand instantly twisted and deformed, his five fingers curled up at an eerie angle.

The intense pain contorted his face, and his previous arrogant shouts instantly turned into heart-wrenching howls.

The cries of agony made the residents who had been hiding in their houses shrink back, thankful that they had managed to dodge in time.

After a torment that deeply affected Wu Gang, Ji Chen finally obtained the information he wanted.

"Tiger Lord... I haven't even caused him any trouble yet, but he's already gotten me into trouble."

For a moment, Ji Chen couldn't help but chuckle. "This reminds me of Tiger Lord... and that nobleman of the inner city, Aoguda."

"Perfect timing. Judging from the situation, the White Sun Sect is about to launch its uprising. It's good to take this opportunity to clean up the scraps here."

With a gentle lift of the foot, it lands!

Click!

Wu Gang's neck was crushed into soft mud by his foot, and he died with shock and resentment on his face.

"Tormenting you to extract information doesn't mean I'll let you go. You'll be someone's dog again in your next life."

Stepping slowly out of the blood-soaked, corpse-strewn scene, Ji Chen pushed open the door to Instructor Chen's house.

"Xiaoying, bring me some rice!"

Touching his stomach, which had been empty all night, Ji Chen revealed a smile like a lazy bum.

. . . . . .

The situation changed rapidly, far exceeding the limits of ordinary people's imagination.

At daybreak, a county constable was beaten to death in the street.

Subsequently, the Baiyang Sect, which had been peacefully preaching in Changjiang and even Yuezhou Prefecture for many years, revealed its true colors.

The people revolted, and all the major roads in Changjiang County were controlled. The only remaining force of the Qing Dynasty government was the Changjiang County government office.

This chaos is showing a tendency to spread from Changjiang to the surrounding areas of Dongting Lake.

"Brother Xiao, this is the vital medicine for qi and blood that I promised you before. Here you go."

In the main seat of the lobby, Instructor Chen, who had finally finished dealing with all the matters, sat somewhat tired.

Assigning tasks to various forces, maintaining communication with the main force of the Baiyang Sect in Sichuan, and constantly monitoring Qingting's reaction—all these tasks made Instructor Chen feel overwhelmed.

Ji Chen didn't stand on ceremony and readily took the wooden box containing the Qi and Blood Medicine.

He looked at Instructor Chen, who was frowning, and said:

"Instructor Chen, didn't you say that our White Sun Sect is powerful enough to retreat overseas even if we fail? Why do you look so gloomy?"

"That's the White Sun Sect, not us."

Instructor Chen forced a smile. "War is dangerous and not something to be taken lightly. Besides, the so-called retreat overseas is mostly just to appease the people below."

Below, that includes them as well.

Instructor Chen changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on it further:

"Furthermore, we've taken over everything in Changjiang County except the county government office, but the county magistrate is proving difficult to deal with. That's what's troubling me right now."

"The county magistrate?"

Ji Chen frowned and instinctively said:

"Why not just kill them? They've already rebelled, why should we worry about that?"

Instructor Chen glanced at Ji Chen with amusement, secretly thinking that the kid was still too young and didn't understand the implications.

"Kill him? Since the Song Dynasty, the civil officials have always been stronger than the military officials. The civil officials are in cahoots. Killing one of them will offend the whole group. All the pens in the world will be pointing at you."

"Killing civil officials is not as simple as killing military officials. It is common for military officials to be killed after a defeat, but according to historical precedents, it is best to recruit or capture civil officials. We need people to govern the territory we have conquered, let the world know our purpose, and declare the legitimacy of our uprising. All of this requires the help of these civil officials."

Ji Chen was somewhat dismissive. Governance?

At the founding of the Han Dynasty, few of the central court officials had received formal education, yet the dynasty still achieved a golden age!

Ji Chen believes that Instructor Chen's hesitation is mostly due to the ingrained ideas and habits he has developed over the years.

"Suddenly, a madman sharpens his knife in the night; the imperial star trembles, and Mars shines high!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Let's fight our way out and create a bright and clear world."

Ji Chen is a dimensional demon who is capable of great things and can shake the rules of the world. He dares to do what others dare not do!

After finishing his speech, Ji Chen ignored the stunned and speechless Instructor Chen and turned to leave.

Let's start by killing the civil officials!

Instructor Chen was too late to stop it, or rather, after hesitating, he didn't know how to stop it.

He figured there were at least one or two martial artists at the first stage of Qi and Blood transformation in the county government office, as well as dozens of yamen runners. He figured Ji Chen couldn't take him down by himself, so he might as well treat this as a lesson for his recklessness.

If the county magistrate doesn't want to suffer, he should know how to make things acceptable to both sides.

On the way to the county government office, Ji Chen directly opened the wooden box containing the Qi and Blood Medicine.

The slightly fishy smell of the medicine filled the air, causing Ji Chen's throat to involuntarily move.

This medicinal herb has an appearance very similar to a vine, with a dark purplish-red skin covered with raised, nodular bumps that gleam like agate in the sunlight.

"Just smelling the medicine made me feel a longing throughout my body."

Ji Chen pondered, sensing the throbbing in his body, and then swallowed the powerful qi and blood-nourishing medicine directly into his stomach.

"Instructor Chen said that whether this medicine is soaked in alcohol, boiled in soup, or even taken raw, its efficacy will not be greatly affected. In that case, we might as well take it directly."

With that in mind, Ji Chen immediately activated the accelerated cultivation mode.

With this resource, his accelerated learning mode should be able to last longer.

Ji Chen, who was just one step away from achieving a transformation in his Qi and Blood, was in accelerated cultivation mode almost the second after activating it.

As Ji Chen took each step, his blood and energy surged.

The energy accumulated in his flesh finally broke through some invisible constraint, and he seemed to hear a crisp "crack" sound that only he could perceive.

In an instant, the whole world changed.

The blood beneath the skin surges, roars, and thunders through the blood vessels.

Every muscle fiber vibrated with joy, infused with new life, and the bones emitted a subtle hum as their density slowly increased.

Then, he could clearly perceive the trajectory of the flow of Qi and blood in his body. Those originally ethereal "Qi" now flowed in his meridians as if they were real.

What was originally just an imagined "qi" has now become like a warm current, faint yet clearly perceptible.

"Is this what it means to be extraordinary? I guess I've embarked on the path of superpowers."

"Superpower" originally referred to the extended concept of superpowers or special abilities from the time of the mother planet.

However, in the Star Age, the concept of superpowers has shifted towards the control of extraordinary energy.

Qi and blood, on the other hand, clearly fall into the category of extraordinary energy.
