Something's wrong with this demon.

"A...monster?"

The two men stared wide-eyed, trembling violently, their faces filled with terror.

They thought the dark figure was the heart-ripping monster.

Because poor Chen Ju had been completely drained of his energy and died.

No cultivator here could possibly take all the blood from another person, leaving not a single drop.

It's even more impossible that the corpse was transformed into that grotesque and terrifying appearance.

Therefore, the killer was definitely not human!

But the next second, the shadowy figure behind the door suddenly spoke: "Are you here to collect blood?"

That sound...

"It's you!"

Upon hearing the voice, the two brothers were immediately shocked, astonished, and incredulous.

It was that little bastard who was supposed to be lying on the ground having his blood drawn!

Wang Long hurriedly raised the tinder in his hand and stretched it forward. The dim light immediately illuminated the figure and face of the dark shadow.

It really was that little bastard!

"Chen Ju...it was you...you killed him?"

Wang Long's voice began to tremble uncontrollably, just like his body.

He gritted his teeth silently and gripped the dagger tightly in his hand.

Standing beside him, Wang Hu, enduring the excruciating pain in his hands and feet, began to quietly gather his strength.

Although both brothers were injured and their fighting ability was greatly reduced, as long as they risked their lives and fought side by side, they would definitely be able to break through.

Do you think I have that ability?

At this moment, the figure standing behind the door spoke again.

"To kill Chen Ju, who was of the same cultivation level, in such a short time, and even drain all the blood from his body, it's probably impossible even for Boss Zhang to do it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Long and Wang Hu were stunned, and a look of confusion appeared on their faces.

"That……"

Just as Wang Long was about to speak, he saw the figure illuminated by the firelight suddenly raise its head, look behind them, and then, without saying a word, quickly open the door, leave the room, and close the door behind it for them.

A chilling sensation instantly shot up from the spines of the two brothers!

"What is it?"

The two brothers' hearts skipped a beat, and they hurriedly turned to look.

The corner behind was pitch black, and nothing could be seen except for the vaguely visible, motionless, emaciated corpse of Chen Ju on the ground.

The strong stench of blood in the air, the gruesome corpses on the ground, the deathly silence and darkness in the room, and the sudden, strange behavior of the figure just now instantly brought the fear in the two brothers' hearts to its peak!

"Hurry up!"

Wang Long couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly endured the pain in his feet as he fled towards the door.

Wang Hu was terrified and followed closely behind!

"Squeak..."

Wang Long arrived at the door and opened it abruptly.

The moment the door opened, a fist, already brimming with power, suddenly shot out from the darkness outside! Like a heavy hammer, it slammed viciously into his chest!

"Bang!"

A muffled thud followed by the sound of bones breaking.

Wang Long was sent flying backward by the impact, crashing heavily into Wang Hu behind him.

The two brothers fell awkwardly into the room, chest to back.

This sudden and unexpected attack instantly rendered the two brothers temporarily powerless to resist.

Before the two could get up from the ground, the figure outside the door flashed in, a cold glint in his hand, and with a "thud," pierced into Wang Long's throat.

Wang Long's eyes widened, and he stretched out his hands, trying to grab the dagger.

Unexpectedly, the dagger was pulled out the instant it pierced his throat, and then viciously plunged into the throat of Wang Hu, whom he was pinning down.

Wang Hu was dizzy from the impact and pinned down, unable to move. He had almost no power to resist and was directly pierced through the throat by the dagger.

The two brothers lay on top of each other, their eyes wide open, their hands covering their necks where blood was gushing out, their mouths agape as they made a dying "hoarse" sound, their terrified eyes filled with resentment.

At this moment, they looked somewhat bewildered.

It's likely that even on their deathbed, they never imagined that tonight's prey would turn out to be the two brothers themselves.

"Whoosh!"

To preserve more blood, Luo Qingchen swiftly plunged the dagger into the hearts of the two men, twisting it forcefully until they were both dead.

Then, he placed his hands on the two of them!

100%!

120%!

160%!

190%!

230%!

280%!

He only released his hands when the second health bar rapidly surged from 90% to 280%.

At this moment, the two men, who had just looked robust, had become skin and bones, their bodies shrunken and their muscles atrophied.

The two men's faces looked even more terrifying!

At this moment, Luo Qingchen clearly felt the scalding heat and rushing of blood within her body.

Like a great river, with the sound of waves faintly audible!

He dared not linger, immediately searched the two men for their silver, and then left under cover of darkness.

Return to the third house.

He quickly locked the doors and windows, lit the oil lamp on the table, and first carefully checked his entire body to see if there was any blood on it.

Fortunately, the life-steal skill seemed to be able to clean up all the bloodstains on his body.

Then, he took out the silver he had swindled from the three men and poured it all onto the table.

"Splash..."

The crisp sound of broken silver clinking together was like the melodious ringing of bells, bringing one to the ultimate in joy.

Luo Qingchen didn't have time to enjoy the music before she immediately began to weigh each piece.

"These loose silver coins amount to a full one hundred and twenty taels!"

A moment later, he finished counting all the loose silver.

The three of them had a total of 120 taels of silver hidden away. It wasn't a lot, but for him, it was a huge sum of money.

He carefully considered what to do with the 120 taels of silver.

This amount of silver is not enough to redeem the soul contract at the pawnshop, but it can be used to repay A-Yun's twelve taels first, and the rest can be used to buy meat to eat.

Having meat replenishes the body's energy, making cultivation faster.

If necessary, it can also be used to buy blood.

He currently has 280% of his reserve blood in his body, but it's uncertain whether he can sustain this until he reaches the Blood Exchange Realm.

With this money, our hope is even greater!

Once he cultivates to the Blood Exchange Realm, he can completely shed his identity as a medicine man whose life and death are arbitrarily controlled by others.

At that time, he officially became a disciple of the Demon Extermination Sect.

At that time, the soul contract can naturally be discussed again.

Also, there will be more ways to make money then, and then I can help my sister repair the Ten Soul Banner with better materials!

At this moment, holding the silver stained with "blood," he looked forward to a bright future, his heart filled with hope.

But he quickly came to his senses.

The deaths of three cultivators tonight will definitely cause a stir in the town's garrison and may even alarm those above them.

After all, these three cultivators all have masters.

He had to be very careful in his preparations, not overlooking any detail, and absolutely not revealing anything.

Otherwise, all efforts and hopes will be in vain.

After a moment's thought, a ruthless and resolute glint appeared in his eyes. He took out a dagger and gently cut the wound on his wrist.

Fresh blood gushed out rapidly.

He lowered his head and drank it down.
