I will settle scores and use violence to shatter the chaos of this world.

Chapter 88. Instant kill upon meeting, no words exchanged! (4700!)

Inside the courtyard.

Chen Xuan frowned, looking at the young man in front of him. He casually took a pill bottle and three large silver notes from the man, quite surprised.

"Did Elder Su send this?"

"Yes, my master said that everything before was a misunderstanding, and I hope you won't mind."

The young man laughed.

"Yeah?"

Chen Xuan looked at it with interest and said, "What if I mind?"

"This...this..."

The young man broke out in a cold sweat and was at a loss for what to do.

"I'll accept these things. Go back and tell Elder Su that I won't offend others unless they offend me. This time it might be a misunderstanding, but next time it won't be."

Chen Xuan said calmly.

"Yes, I'll go and tell them right away."

The young man quickly responded and turned to leave.

Chen Xuan looked at the pill bottle in his hand and tossed it gently.

not bad!

Five more Qi and Blood Pills were obtained.

After all, this thing is expensive but unavailable; you can't buy it even if you have money.

He turned around and went back to his room.

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at the panel in front of him again.

Name: Chen Xuan Inner Strength: None Martial Arts: Thunderfire Vajra Skill [(Third Level) Three Thousand Thunderclaps, Blazing Sun Within, Mountain-Splitting and Thrilling, One Palm to Sever Soul]

Cultivation Level: Third Level of Gang Jin Talents: Innate Divine Strength, Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Undying Fist Intent (One talent can be unlocked for each level of fame increase; current fame: Rising Fame)

Pleasure Value: 19100 (can be used to deduce martial arts techniques)

"With over 10,000 points of pleasure, combined with the Qi and Blood Pill, I should be able to break through to the fourth level of Gang Jin. If I have any pleasure points left, I'll add some to Shattering Star Finger."

He made up his mind, poured out two Qi and Blood Pills, and without hesitation, stuffed them directly into his mouth.

"Enjoyment level: Add some points to Thunderfire Vajra Skill!"

[Ding! You have consumed 6000 points of Pleasure Value and begun to improve the Thunderfire Vajra Technique. The medicinal properties of your Qi and Blood have been detected. You have once again gained 120 times the cultivation speed. Your Qi and Blood are roaring, and powerful lightning and flames are constantly transforming your body. You feel your flesh and bones undergoing another metamorphosis...]

Without hesitation, you consumed another 6000 points of Pleasure Points. Your cultivation speed has now reached an astonishing 220 times. Finally, this powerful thunder and fire energy has reached its peak, like a long-suppressed volcano erupting with an unstoppable roar!

[Congratulations, host, you have broken through to the fourth level of the罡劲 (Gang Jin) realm!]

boom!

Chen Xuan's bones crackled and popped as if they were being forged anew, his muscle fibers intertwining and reorganizing wildly, their density increasing dramatically.

Under the impact of the thunder and fire, the internal organs become more vibrant and resilient.

His eyes flickered, and deep within his pupils, it seemed as if thunder and fire were intertwined.

With a gentle clench of the fist, one can feel the energy that is several times stronger than before.

"Fourth level of罡劲!"

Chen Xuan murmured.

very good!

We'll be able to kill Qin Wushuang soon.

If the enemy isn't killed in a day, it will remain a threat for another day.

I looked at the panel again.

There are 7100 points of pleasure remaining.

Chen Xuan took out another Qi and Blood Pill, swallowed it, opened the Shattering Star Finger manual, and began to recite it silently again.

"Enjoyment level, add some points to Shattered Star Finger!"

[Ding! You have consumed 3000 points of Pleasure Value and begun to improve your Shattering Star Finger. The powerful medicinal properties within your body have been detected, and your Shattering Star Finger has successfully gained 100 times the cultivation speed. Since you are already a master of the fourth level of罡劲 (Gang Jin), your罡劲 (Gang Jin) flowed smoothly through your body, allowing you to successfully reach the fourth level of the Shattering Star Finger!]

hum!

An unprecedented realization quickly welled up in my heart.

They're all related to the "Shattered Star" theory.

It was as if he had been practicing this technique for more than ten years in the blink of an eye.

He had a thorough understanding of all the tricks and techniques.

"Shattered Star Finger".

Chen Xuan's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and pointed.

laugh!

A pure white finger-force shot out in an instant, like a bolt of lightning, flying more than ten meters away and directly piercing through the wall.

A smile appeared on his lips.

"Great, a great tool for crushing noobs, saves me from having to punch them one by one later."

Seeing that he still had plenty of time, he immediately began to look through the pile of files in front of him.

These archives record the various forces in and outside the southern part of the city.

The county seat covers an area of ​​over a hundred li and has a population of no less than seven or eight million, attracting various powerful forces.

There are forces among them that dare to oppose the Twelve Alliances.

Take the Bai family, for example.

While searching, Chen Xuan's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"demon?"

Are there still demons running rampant in the southern part of the city?

He had never seen any demons in this world before.

The creatures I killed last time were just monsters.

I wonder how powerful the real demons are?

"In July of the 357th year of the Great Xia Dynasty, Elder Hu Lantian and fourteen of his followers died tragically in the Black Pine Forest south of the South City. Their deaths were gruesome; their abdomens were disemboweled and their hearts were removed, their internal organs missing. It is suspected that they were eaten by demons. However, the investigation was unsuccessful, and the remains were temporarily sealed!"

"In December of the 357th year of the Great Xia Dynasty, another elder went missing. His body was found thirty miles away; his internal organs had been removed, and his death was gruesome!"

"In September of the 358th year of the Great Xia Dynasty, an elder witnessed the appearance of a demon, fought fiercely with it, and ultimately lost an arm."

"In August of the 359th year of the Great Xia Dynasty, Foreign Affairs Commissioner Han Zhenshan discovered traces of demons, suspected to be related to the powerful Shangguan Fortress in the southern city. However, Shangguan Fortress is a prominent local clan with immense power, deep roots, numerous experts, and close ties with the Bai family of the county city, making it difficult to take down. The investigation is ongoing!"

"Note (1): Shangguan Ao, the master of Shangguan Fortress, is a master of the fifth level of Gang Jin. There are four Gang Jin level elders in the clan."

"Note (2): Demons and monsters are elusive and possess abundant vitality. Their strength is between the fourth and fifth levels of the Qi Refining Realm. They are adept at ambushes and are extremely difficult to deal with!"

"Note (3): I have ordered people to keep a close watch on Shangguan Fort, but there is a risk of being exposed at any time. Unfortunately, I am old and my energy is failing, so I no longer have the time to continue the investigation. I hope that headquarters can send more people as soon as possible."

"Shangguan Ao, fifth level of Gang Jin, and connected to the Bai family?"

Chen Xuan frowned.

Ok.

That's it.

I don't care who you're associated with, if you're colluding with demons and harming your own kind, I just can't stand by and watch.

Not to mention, these demons have repeatedly slaughtered members of the Twelve Alliances.

He couldn't possibly ignore it, both emotionally and logically.

I wonder how much satisfaction I'll get from slaying demons!

The mere fifth level of Gang Jin is practically a free bonus of pleasure points!

There's no reason he wouldn't collect it.

It was late at night, in the middle of the night.

South City, Shangguan Fort.

A carrier pigeon flew in from afar, cooing softly, and quickly landed in a dimly lit courtyard. Soon, a middle-aged man emerged from inside the courtyard, picked up the pigeon, took a slip of paper from the bamboo tube in its right leg, and ran towards the room.

"Father, that person has sent another message."

The man handed the note to an elderly man in the room.

The old man had a ruddy complexion and a radiant spirit, as if he had taken some kind of super tonic.

In the jade bowl before him, there was still thick blood that had not yet dried.

"The demonic secret technique is indeed powerful. I have only practiced it for two short years, but it has rejuvenated me considerably. Not only has my strength subtly increased again, but even my hair has become much blacker."

Shangguan Ao smiled, extremely satisfied, and casually took the note from the other party. His gaze swept over it, and he immediately showed surprise.

"Han Zhenshan of the Twelve Alliances is retiring, and they've sent a young man to take his place? That person wants us to kill this young man?"

"Yes, Father, I've heard of this Chen Xuan. He seems to have some strength. He just defeated Zhou Tianyang of the Twelve Alliances. He's young and already at the Gang Jin realm. He's quite a prodigy."

"That's what the middle-aged man said."

"Yeah?"

Shangguan Ao smiled knowingly and said, "I am also quite interested in prodigies. The more prodigy they are, the rarer their blood essence is. Often, absorbing just a drop can make one stronger than dozens of people. Perhaps even you can break through again."

"Father, should we do as that man said and get rid of Chen Xuan?"

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered slightly.

"Of course, one shouldn't refuse a piece of fat meat that's delivered to one's door."

Shangguan Ao smiled.

"But what about Han Zhenshan..."

The middle-aged man, Shangguan Jie, hesitated.

Han Zhenshan's strength is comparable to his father's... They have been wary of each other for many years.

But if they kill the newly appointed foreign affairs envoy, I'm afraid Han Zhenshan will not let it go.

"Him? A half-dead, old man who's been watching us for years without daring to lay a hand on us. Do you think he still wants to be in charge? He's nearing the end of his life; he doesn't have many years left. We don't need to worry about him!"

Shangguan Ao said in a calm tone, "First, clean up the spies he left behind, so they won't get in my way."

"Yes, Father."

Shangguan Jie nodded, then hesitated and said, "Should we let Mr. Cat and the others do it?"

"Of course, my Shangguan family is a prestigious clan; how could we possibly get involved in such a matter ourselves?"

Shangguan Ao said calmly.

Early the next morning.

The sun is just rising.

The sound of rapid hoofbeats echoed through the dense forest.

A tall, muscular man in black robes, covered in blood, rode a fast horse, his face filled with terror, frantically cracking his whip to charge forward.

Even his warhorse showed fear, neighing loudly, its mane standing on end, as it charged forward with all its might.

It was as if something incredibly terrifying was approaching from behind them.

"Faster, faster!"

The man in black robes spoke in terror.

His hair was disheveled, and his clothes were tattered. His chest and back were clearly visible, with deep, bone-revealing wounds that were constantly dripping blood.

Meow~

A sound like a cat's meow came from the dense forest behind them; it was very sharp and piercing.

An unimaginable, terrifying stench of blood, accompanied by flying sand and stones, rapidly approached.

Whoosh whoosh!

A strange noise came from a branch on one side.

A black afterimage approached at an incredible speed, revealing two dark golden eyes that looked at the black-robed man with a hint of cruelty and mockery.

It's like a cat playing with a mouse.

"I am a member of the Han Foreign Minister's faction of the Twelve Alliances. If you kill me, the Han Foreign Minister will absolutely not let you off!"

The man in the black robe let out a shrill and terrified scream.

Whoosh!

puff!

A dark shadow flashed by, and blood splattered everywhere.

The mournful neighing of horses echoed in all directions.

The enemy's warhorse was torn to pieces as if it had been caught by sharp claws, with blood and internal organs flying everywhere. The black-robed man on the horse also groaned and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground some distance away. He suffered excruciating pain in his internal organs, coughed violently, and began spitting blood continuously.

"whee..."

A series of clear and melodious laughter rang out near him.

The man in the black robe trembled, his face filled with terror, and he quickly looked up.

Before them appeared a monster dressed in human women's clothing... From the neck down, it was graceful and slender, like a beautiful young girl, but from the neck up, it did not have a human head.

Instead, it's a fluffy cat head with golden eyes...

now.

The monster was extending its blood-stained fingers, gently licking them, and looking at the black-robed man in front of it with a sinister smile.

"My mother told me that before eating, I should play with the food and make it run around, so that the meat would taste even better."

"No, don't..."

The man in the black robe was filled with fear, tears streaming down his face. He braced himself against the ground and retreated rapidly.

puff!

The cat-headed monster grinned and pounced swiftly, passing by the man in black robes in an instant.

The man in black robes immediately let out a shrill, ear-piercing scream and rolled wildly on the ground.

An arm had been torn off, leaving it bloody.

The cat-faced monster greedily sniffed the aroma and said with delight, "Mother said that food should be eaten fresh; dead food doesn't taste good."

She took a bite with her head down and said, "Mother is right. She also said that there should be a proper way to eat; you can't eat it all at once, you have to chew it slowly..."

But at this moment...

Suddenly, its two furry little ears perked up, as if it had sensed something, and it suddenly raised its head to look ahead.

"Another prey has arrived."

The cat-faced monster's golden eyes flashed slightly as it said, "Mother said that when hunting, if you see other prey, you might as well take care of it too!"

She looked at the man in black robes again and chuckled, "Don't run away, okay? If you do, Lingling will be unhappy, and if she's unhappy, she'll torture you severely."

Whoosh!

It threw away the bloody arm it was holding and darted off in the direction from which the commotion had come, its speed was simply unbelievable.

At this moment.

In the mountain path.

Chen Xuan frowned, standing on the carriage, looking towards the dense forest in the distance.

"Going any faster... something seems off!"

"Yes, Master Chen!"

Wu San, the servant driving the carriage, responded and quickened the crack of his whip.

But as they were going, suddenly, the horse pulling the carriage let out a terrified neigh, raised its head, and stopped abruptly, rearing up on its hind legs, almost overturning the carriage.

Fortunately, Wu San managed to stabilize the carriage immediately, preventing it from overturning.

Wu San's expression changed in surprise, and he looked straight ahead.

At the very front of them, on a rock, stood a bizarre monster dressed as a human woman with a furry cat's head, its golden eyes looking in their direction with a sinister smile.

"demon!"

Wu San exclaimed in alarm.

"whee..."

The cat-faced monster chuckled softly, licked its lips, and said with a light laugh, "Young man, where are you headed? Could you give me a ride? I've gotten separated from my family..."

Suddenly, her pupils contracted as she saw Chen Xuan on the carriage, and she gently raised a finger.

What are they doing?

not good!

Danger!

The hairs on her body stood on end, and she tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Boom!

艺！

A dazzling burst of energy, almost like lightning, pierced through her body on the spot, causing her to let out a mournful meow. Blood splattered, bones shattered, and her body felt as if it had been struck by a massive hammer.

The cat-faced monster looked terrified and quickly turned to run away.

"Not dead?"

Chen Xuan frowned, his body flashed, and he disappeared in an instant.

Three thousand thunderbolts unleashed!

As if teleported, he appeared behind the other party.

A large, fiery, and terrifying hand pressed down hard on the back of the cat-faced monster's head, carrying an unknown amount of force. The monster's fur stood on end, and it screamed in terror, but to no avail. With a loud thud, its head was pinned down, and its entire body was slammed into the ground.

The ground shook violently.

Sand and stones flew, and leaves danced in the air.

The cat demon's eyes rolled back, its body convulsed, and blood began to gush from its seven orifices... its entire skull was almost crushed by Chen Xuan's single slap...

[You severely injured a man-eating cat demon, gaining 6000 satisfaction points!]

"this one?"

Chen Xuan frowned, lifted the other person's body off the ground, and shook it gently.

Nothing special.

Just like humans.

Could these be the demons active in the southern part of the city?

But that's too weak.

It is roughly equivalent to the first level of Gang Jin (罡劲).

"Take him back for thorough interrogation!"

Chen Xuan threw the body into the cart, looked up at the woods ahead, and said, "Let's go check out that woods!"

"Yes, Master Chen!"

Wu San responded in a trembling voice.

He walked forward a distance again.

Finally, I could smell the strong stench of blood.

Before long, they saw the mangled and shattered corpse of the subterranean merchant on the ground.

And a black-robed man, his arm severed, covered in blood, his face deathly pale, lay there, silently awaiting death.

""

Chen Xuan glanced at him quietly.

"Friend, hurry, go to the Twelve Alliances... report... report the news..."

The man in black robes trembled, and upon seeing Chen Xuan, he burst into tears of terror.

Chen Xuan remained silent, took out the token from his waist, and gently waved it in front of him.

The man in black robes widened his eyes, his breathing became rapid, and he coughed up blood violently again, almost losing his breath.

He could hardly believe his own eyes.

"Foreign... Foreign Affairs Envoy..."

The man in the black robe exclaimed in horror.

A newly arrived foreign affairs envoy?
