The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Just as Ji Chen was about to speak, the panel flashed again.

[Abnormal fluctuations in human body data detected...]

[Specialty sequence unlocked...Verification passed...]

[You have activated the Specialization: New Blood!]

New Blood: Your Qi and blood are more active, wounds heal faster, you can tolerate higher bursts of power, and your base life growth ratio is improved: 1 Constitution: 10 Life → 1 Constitution: 11 Life.

The concept of attribute modification came to mind along with the information about specializations.

In short, with the same 10 points of constitution attribute, Ji Chen's 10 points of constitution can be converted into more vitality, which means that the growth rate of his health points is increased.

It's not obvious now, but in the later stages, when the physique is in the hundreds or thousands, this 1.1 attribute correction will truly become a chasm that is difficult to overcome.

"I am Lu Xiao of the Baiyang Sect. You can surrender now."

Ji Chen temporarily set aside his joy at the harvest and coldly addressed the three people in the room.

"surrender?"

The county magistrate was startled, feeling that he had succeeded again.

Despite their impressive momentum, they still ended up having to surrender.

He made a show of it, raised his teacup, took a small sip, and said:

"Since this is an offer of surrender, how can your sect be so disrespectful and engage in such excessive killing?"

He relied on his official rank and status, believing that Ji Chen wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

But Commander Liu felt that wasn't the case. He could clearly sense that the killing intent emanating from the man who called himself "Lu Xiao" was almost saturated with malice.

He was about to get up and smooth things over when Ji Chen interrupted him.

"Ha! The slaughter has gone too far! When the Daqing army entered the pass, they slaughtered more than a million. Yangzhou, Songjiang, Xiangtan, and so on—nine out of ten houses were empty. The corpses left behind could block the waterways. I have slaughtered too much. What will the Daqing army do then?!"

Ji Chen's words were so sharp that the county magistrate was speechless, stammering and blushing with embarrassment.

"Those were all because the court was newly established, and some generals were arrogant and greedy for wealth, which led to some serious mistakes. Didn't Emperor Shizu later settle accounts with them for their wrongdoings?"

Ji Chen almost burst out laughing at these sophistry.

"Since you're speaking up for Daqing so strongly, you must be a loyal subject. In that case..."

The magistrate felt a chill run down his spine. Looking at that stubble-covered head, he finally understood something.

This is a righteous man!

Just before Ji Chen made his move...

"stop!"

"stop!"

Two loud shouts suddenly came from outside.

The two White Sun Sect protectors guarding outside the county office finally sensed something was wrong and rushed over.

Ji Chen's eyes turned cold. Ignoring the two people outside trying to stop him, he struck out with a palm like a knife, and the magistrate's still incredulous head flew off.

puff!

Amidst the splattering blood, Ji Chen's murderous gaze fell upon the county magistrate and Commander Liu.

The two men shuddered, and Commander Liu, no longer caring about waiting for a higher price, knelt down on one knee with a thud:

"We surrender! We surrender!"

The county magistrate collapsed to the ground, sobbing as he uttered words of surrender.

Only then did the two protectors of the Baiyang Sect hurriedly arrive.

Upon seeing the scene inside, the man in white inwardly groaned and kept slapping his forehead.

He was filled with regret. He knew young people were reckless, but he never imagined they were this reckless!

And he even went too far recklessly!

The man in white looked at Commander Liu, who was kneeling on one knee, with a hint of disappointment.

You, a master of the second stage of Qi and Blood Transformation, didn't put up any resistance and just let him kill the magistrate?

Commander Liu lowered his head in shame, inwardly cursing:

You have no idea the pressure I feel when I'm with him. If I keep going, I feel like I'm going to die.

"You're Lu Xiao, right? Do you know how much trouble you're getting us into by doing this?"

The man in white took a deep breath, suppressing his shock and regret, and said in a deep voice.

Ji Chen squinted at the two people in front of him. They were both experts at the second stage of Qi and Blood Transformation, and he immediately guessed their identities.

"Oh, shouldn't you have identified yourself before asking me?"

Ji Chen's attitude made the burly man with a cold face and thick wrists, who had been standing to the side ever since he arrived, unable to bear it any longer.

"Hmph! You scoundrel, do you really not know who we are? You've caused such a huge mess, and you're still so disrespectful to the elders of the sect. I think you don't want to be a core disciple anymore!"

"Guardian Lin, watch your words!"

Seeing how angry he was, the man in white immediately stopped him.

Protector Lin shook off the white-robed man's arm, stepped forward, and pointed at Ji Chen coldly, saying:

"Protector Zhang is concerned about your status as a core disciple, but I am not. Kid, I'll teach you to recognize the rules of the sect."

Ji Chen's attitude also turned completely cold:

"Don't point your pig's paw at me. The rules, the rules of the sect, do not tell me that core disciples are of lower status than Dharma protectors."

Ji Chen did not back down and stepped forward as well, confronting Protector Lin closely.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, he quietly activated the rest acceleration mode.

[350 dimensional points have been consumed]

[Earth-Shaking Limitless Palm - God has activated accelerated cultivation mode]

The accelerated training mode can only be used for one level at a time.

After the upgrade, you must spend dimensional points to unlock it again.

"Alright, alright! I'll teach you a lesson now, so you'll know that rules are rigid, but strength is real."

Protector Lin laughed angrily; Ji Chen's "pig's paw" had struck a nerve with him.

He practiced the lower-level martial art of the Heaven-Shaking Limitless Palm, the Hunyuan Palm.

However, due to his recklessness in his cultivation when he was young, he made a mistake, and his blood and qi stagnated in his wrist, causing his wrist to swell several times larger than normal and become unsightly.

Moreover, due to the stagnation of qi and blood, his wrists became his weakness, and when this was pointed out, how could he not be angry?

He was as fierce as a tiger, his blood and qi surging into his fist, and he swung his large fist, like a clay pot, towards Ji Chen's abdomen.

As a member of the White Sun Sect, he showed no mercy in his attack, but he didn't really intend to kill him, so he only hit the vital organs in the abdomen.

Protector Lin's palm strikes were deep and unwavering, without the slightest hint of arrogance, yet they seemed to draw the surrounding air with an invisible force, carrying a sense of understated harmony.

If he were hit, Ji Chen would likely suffer serious internal injuries and need to rest in bed for several days.

But how could Ji Chen be hit?

Ji Chen moved suddenly, as if a storm was brewing.

He struck first despite being behind, and just as Lin Hufa's fist was about to land, his right palm, like a dragon's claw, steadily supported the opponent's wrist from below, deflecting the opponent's fierce palm strike into the empty space beside him with minimal effort.

His left palm was like a mountain being pushed; even before the palm arrived, the surging wind from the palm had already caused Lin Hufa's robes to dent in his chest.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Protector Lin retreated rapidly.

Just as he was about to change his move and counterattack, he saw Ji Chen's right palm suddenly transform into a millstone, with his five fingers rotating like the Yin and Yang of Tai Chi.

The palm seemed to contain an invisible vortex, which completely entangled his hastily thrown punches and palms.

At this point, Protector Lin was horrified to discover that after only two rounds of fighting, he had already fallen into a completely disadvantageous position.

The catalysis of real combat allowed Ji Chen to digest the insights gained from the accelerated training mode even faster; each of his palm strikes was stronger and heavier than the last.

The pressure he exerted on Protector Lin grew stronger over time.

Lin, the Protector, broke out in a cold sweat.

He found himself like a lone boat in a storm, facing not scattered waves, but the entire boiling sea.

Ji Chen's palm power seemed to be climbing endlessly. Just when you thought you had reached your limit, the next palm strike would break through to a new peak.

"You lost, you weakling."

After several more rounds, Ji Chen firmly covered Lin Hufa's face with his palm and said coldly.
