Longevity Martial Arts: Obtain Golden Affixes at the Start

Wang Zhen stood at the door, looking somewhat anxious.

Seeing Hong Lang emerge, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Little Lang, can you come with me now?"

"Uncle Wang, what happened?"

"A few hunters just came to me, saying they found an injured monster on the outskirts of the jungle. The creature is enormous, and no one dares to approach it."

I heard you're a true martial artist now, so I thought I'd invite you over to take a look. If you can kill it, you can sell it for a lot of silver." Wang Zhen's tone was somewhat urgent.

Monsters are treasures from head to toe. Their bones can be used in medicine, their meat can nourish the body, and their fur can be used to make clothes that are impervious to swords and spears.

"Okay, let's go now!"

Upon hearing that there was a bargain to be had, Hong Lang immediately agreed. If he could really hunt down a monster, it would be a considerable fortune.

Although he now has several dozen taels of silver, the path of cultivation is extremely expensive, so who would complain about having too much money?

The two traveled quickly and arrived at a stream on the outskirts of the mountains and forests.

Looking into the distance, Honglang saw a huge black shadow huddled beside a boulder, emitting a low whimper.

Only when you get closer can you see that it is a wolf demon that is larger than an adult water buffalo.

Its entire body was covered in jet-black fur, which was stained with dark red blood. Its left foreleg was clearly twisted and deformed, indicating that it had suffered a serious injury.

Hong Lang guessed that it had probably been injured in a battle with other monsters over territory and had been driven to the outskirts of the forest.

Several hunters hid behind a large rock not far away, looking very nervous.

They didn't want to let the wolf demon go, but they didn't dare to go forward.

They had heard many rumors about demonic beasts. It was said that even the lowest-level demonic beast could easily wipe out a village. They estimated that their numbers wouldn't even be enough to fill a demonic beast's teeth.

Hong Lang observed intently, secretly alarmed. The wolf demon's blood energy fluctuations were extremely powerful, comparable to Tanya's.

"This is the monster. Judging from its condition, it probably doesn't have much strength left," Wang Zhen said in a low voice.

Hong Lang gestured for everyone to step back, then clenched his fists and slowly walked forward. He was unsure of the beast's abilities.

As soon as the wolf demon saw someone approaching, it let out a low growl. Although it was seriously injured, its imposing presence was still terrifying.

"Awoo!"

As the floodwaters drew ever closer, the wolf demon howled and pounced on them. Though its injured left leg made it difficult to exert force, it was still incredibly fast. Its massive body carried an overwhelming force, smashing the surrounding rocks to pieces.

Hong Lang moved constantly, dodging the wolf demon's attacks while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

He tried to use the Mountain Sinking Stance to stabilize himself, but the wolf demon's attacks were too swift. Each pounce made his blood surge, and he could only keep dodging.

Suddenly, the wolf demon raised its right forepaw and slapped it towards Hong Lang's chest with a strong gust of wind.

Hong Lang hurriedly dodged, but was still struck on the shoulder by the claw wind. A sharp pain shot through him, and he involuntarily took several steps back.

The hunters were secretly relieved that they hadn't rashly provoked the wolf demon, or they would all have lost their lives.

Monsters may be valuable, but you might earn them but not live to spend them!

After a fierce struggle, the wolf demon's injuries worsened, its previously rampant blood and energy were almost completely depleted, and the wound on its left leg was repeatedly aggravated, staining the ground with blood.

Its speed gradually decreased, its attacking force diminished, and the ferocity in its eyes faded, replaced by restlessness.

Hong Lang landed several kicks on it with his Thousand-Pound Stomp, but the wolf demon's tough fur was like armor, and Hong Lang's attacks couldn't cause any real damage.

"I can't break through their defenses... I have no choice but to use my ultimate move!"

Hong Lang took a deep breath, suppressing his surging blood and qi. A faint light gathered in his palm, and his eyes were fixed on the wolf demon's movements, patiently waiting for the best opportunity to counterattack.

The wolf demon also lost patience. With its last breath, it charged fiercely at Honglang.

Knowing it was at its last gasp, it still made a final counterattack.

Just as the wolf demon's massive body was about to pounce on him, Hong Lang's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly bent his waist backward, executing a swift iron bridge move.

As the wolf demon swept over him, Hong Lang struck the wolf demon's soft belly with a palm strike.

The palm of the Great Sun Tathagata shines with immeasurable light!

The palm strike surged into the wolf demon's body like a sharp sword, instantly shredding its internal organs.

The wolf demon let out a mournful howl, its massive body falling backward, scattering a cloud of pebbles. It struggled a few times before falling still.

Hong Lang breathed a sigh of relief, his body completely exhausted, and sat down on the ground. The seemingly simple attacks and defenses just now were actually fraught with danger at every step.

If you get hit head-on, you'll either die or be seriously injured. And this is for a severely injured monster. If it were a monster in its prime, it would probably be killed in one move!

At this moment, a notification popped up:

[Defeat a low-level Yellow Rank monster and gain 25 Martial Arts Points]

Another martial arts point!

Besides killing people, there are even martial arts points to be gained from slaying demons!

However… what does "low-level Yellow Rank" mean? Hong Lang had never heard of it before.

Wang Zhen, Wang Bao, and several hunters, who had been hiding in the distance, came forward upon seeing the wolf demon killed: "Little Lang, you're amazing! We owe you so much this time!"

"Xiao Lang, are you alright? You look pale..."

Seeing Hong Lang's pale face, the others asked him with concern.

He waved his hand without speaking, not because he didn't want to, but because he was truly exhausted; the aftereffects of the Great Sun Tathagata Palm were far too severe.

Seeing this, the group didn't say anything more and immediately began to dispose of the wolf demon's corpse.

Although they were experienced hunters, this was their first time dealing with a monster.

The beast's fur was exceptionally tough; when the blades struck it, they only left shallow marks. It took the six men a tremendous amount of effort to peel off the fur bit by bit.

Cutting the monster's flesh was even more difficult, requiring immense effort with each cut. It took a full hour to properly dispose of the corpse.

Looking at the pile of demon beast meat and fur beside him, Hong Lang said:

"This monster meat is a good thing. It can increase the cultivation of martial artists and strengthen the body of ordinary people. Uncle Wang, thank you for your trouble. Please send one pound of this monster meat to each person in the village."

Apart from the Feng family, the villagers all took good care of the original owner, so Hong Lang did not intend to keep it all for himself.

The four hunters who discovered the monster each received twenty catties, while Wang Zhen and Wang Bao each received forty catties.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly expressed their gratitude, their faces full of thanks. A pound of this demon beast meat could fetch at least one tael of silver, and this harvest was equivalent to two years' worth of their earnings.

After the distribution was completed, Hong Lang counted his remaining amount and found that he had about eighty catties of demon beast meat and a complete wolf demon pelt.

After packing up, the group returned to the village.

As soon as they arrived at the door, Qin Jiuzhen heard the noise and came to greet them. Seeing the bloodstains on Hong Lang, her face darkened, and she quickly grabbed his arm, looking him up and down anxiously.

"Xiao Lang, why are you covered in blood? Are you injured? Let me see!"

"Sister Qin, don't worry, I'm fine. This is all the blood of the demon beasts," Hong Lang said with a smile.

He handed over the wolf demon pelt in his hand: "Look, this is the wolf demon's pelt. It's exceptionally tough. Winter is coming soon, so take it and make some clothes for yourself and Tao'er."

"That scared me to death! Don't risk your life like that next time!" Qin Jiuzhen took the fur and breathed a sigh of relief.

Hong Lang nodded in agreement, then picked up a knife and cut the monster meat into two portions, one weighing twenty jin and the other ten jin.

He planned to give this 20-jin portion to his master's wife, who had always taken good care of him, and he couldn't let her go without giving him this token of her affection.

He planned to give the first ten-pound portion to Tanya. Thanks to her guidance over the past month, he had been able to master the Thousand-Pound Step technique so quickly, and this was a token of his gratitude.

He planned to give the second ten-jin portion to Cao Jin, a generous man who would give away thirty taels of silver without hesitation, a person worth befriending.
