Immortality begins with exchanging talent attributes.

Chapter 77 Killing!

Tian Youfeng stared in utter shock at the giant before him, his mind momentarily blank.

Why?

How could a Xuanyi Guard who was only at the third level of training suddenly become like this?

And this aura—

Fourth practice!

Before he could figure it out, an overwhelming force suddenly came from his wrist.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his blood was surging wildly.

At this moment, his cultivation level of the Six Realms erupted without reservation.

A powerful force surged through his arm, and Zhou Yan's five fingers, which were gripping his arm, jolted violently, actually being forced open by a slight force.

The Six Trainings are indeed the Six Trainings; they involve immense strength, no joke.

Even with Zhou Yan's current strength, it's impossible for him to completely ignore it.

However, Zhou Yan, who possesses the strength of "nine bulls and two tigers" and has regained his true form, has a strength of more than ten thousand jin.

He suddenly clenched his fingers and shouted.

"Get up!"

next moment.

Tian Youfeng felt a sudden lightness in his body, as if he were floating on clouds, as Zhou Yan forcefully swung him up.

Then it slammed hard into the ground.

boom!

The ground shook, and debris flew everywhere.

Tian Youfeng felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his whole body trembled violently, and a mouthful of blood surged into his throat.

But before he could spit it out, Zhou Yan had already snatched him up again.

boom!

Tian Youfeng's back slammed heavily, and his whole body went limp.

A prompt then appeared before Zhou Yan's eyes.

[Target state is near death, terms can be swapped, swap?]

"Exchange it for a sickle leg!"

Zhou Yan silently recited in his heart.

The panel blurred for a moment, then blurred again.

[Acquired the entry "Wind Chaser (Green)," currently not fused. Fuse now? Fusion requires one hour.]

"Merge!"

He mentally agreed and didn't pay any more attention to the entry.

Instead, he raised his arm again.

Tian Youfeng was, after all, a high-level martial artist.

Such people have a vitality far exceeding that of ordinary people; as long as they have a breath left, they may suddenly launch a counterattack.

boom!boom!

After two more muffled thuds, Tian Youfeng finally fell completely silent.

Zhou Yan then released his grip and threw the limp corpse onto the ground.

He took a deep breath.

Its three-meter-tall body slowly shrank and quickly returned to its original size.

Zhou Yan lowered his head and touched the spot on his chest and abdomen where he had just been slapped.

The bruises have started to fade, leaving only a slight pain.

Sixth level of training? The opponent is actually at the sixth level of training!

He was so close, so very close, to breaking down.

This time the opponent was unarmed, but what if they use weapons next time?

No, the progress of the Bronze Body Technique must be accelerated.

Once the Bronze Body Technique is perfected, the "copper skin and iron bones" will also evolve, which should make you safer.

Crouching down, Zhou Yan reached out and searched Tian Youfeng's body.

He took out a money pouch and an envelope.

Opening the purse, Zhou Yan's eyes lit up. Inside, five shimmering gold leaves lay quietly, with a few taels of loose silver beside them.

really!

Murder and arson bring wealth and honor.

Is there anything more lucrative than searching for corpses?

Without any hesitation, Zhou Yan stuffed the money pouch into his pocket and tore open the envelope.

The only thing visible on it was a line of delicate handwriting: "Half a month later, the beast tide, the Giant Whale Gang."

Zhou Yan frowned and read the letter over and over again.

There was no signature or other information.

There are only these few words that have no beginning or end.

What does this mean? Could it be another Wusheng Sect incident?

#!

Is this never going to end? I keep running into this kind of thing no matter where I go.

His face was somewhat dark.

This kind of evasive trick reminded him of that bullshit "the plums are ripe".

He had only intended to catch a level-three flower thief, but the other party turned out to be a level-six. If he hadn't been holding back, he would have been killed long ago.

"No, let's leave it to Lu Qingshuang and let them handle it. I can't manage it."

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the alley.

Following the trail left by Zhou Yan, Song Hu and his group finally caught up with him.

Zhou Yan's fight with Tian Youfeng was extremely swift, lasting only the time it takes to brew a cup of tea from start to finish.

Song Hu and his group were also weak.

When they arrived, they only saw their own captain standing shirtless in front of the ruins.

There was a corpse lying at my feet, no longer recognizable as human.

The group of people stopped in their tracks at the same time.

Song Hu cautiously stepped forward.

"Captain, are you alright?"

Zhou Yan waved his hand and pointed to Tian Youfeng on the ground.

"Carry the body back to the Black-Clad Guard headquarters."

The men immediately clasped their hands in a fist and palm salute, saying, "Yes!"

Zhou Yan walked to the side and picked up the long knife from the ground. He saw that there were five claw marks on the long knife.

He shook his head and sheathed the knife.

Fortunately, the new knife is almost ready, so it's okay if this one is broken.

Just as Song Hu and the others were about to leave with the body, Li Kun came running over, panting.

"Zhou—Captain Zhou, are you alright?"

"

Zhou Yan patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "You're getting old, so don't run too fast."

After saying that, he walked out the door.

Song Hu and the others carrying the corpse couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Kun's face darkened.

"I'm old? Are you kidding me? I'm only twenty-five, okay?"

After muttering something under his breath, Li Kun noticed that Zhou Yan's upper garment was torn and handed him the long robe that he had "borrowed" from the restaurant.

After Zhou Yan put it on, the group left the alley.

During this time, two other guards in black robes who were stationed at the back door of Fuhua Tower also arrived to join them.

The group walked quickly and soon returned to the Xuanyiwei headquarters.

"Li Kun, you lead them to hand in the mission, I'm going to find Commander Lu."

Zhou Yan gave the instructions.

"Sir, at this hour, Commander Lu is most likely no longer at the yamen. If you have urgent business, go to the Lu family to find him."

Seeing that Zhou Yan was about to leave, Li Kun grabbed him.

He patted his forehead and realized he'd forgotten about it.

Even a captain like him rarely stays at the yamen unless there's something going on, let alone a centurion.

After thinking for a moment, he inquired about the location of the Lu family's residence.

He turned and left immediately.

After many twists and turns, he arrived at an exceptionally grand mansion.

Look up.

Four large, gilded characters hang high above the courtyard gate.

The Marquis of Linchuan's residence.

On either side of the mansion gate stood a man dressed as a servant.

I glanced at it briefly, and all the entries were white entries related to martial arts.

style.

Even the servants guarding the mansion gates were trained in martial arts.

The two servants also noticed Zhou Yan.

His robe was clearly ill-fitting, and he didn't look like a guest visiting the Marquis's residence at all.

One of them stepped forward and asked warily, "This is the residence of the Marquis of Linchuan. Who are you?"

Zhou Yan took out his captain's badge from his waist, cupped his hands and said, "I am Zhou Yan, captain of the Black-Clad Guard. I have important business to discuss with Commander Lu. Please inform him."

The servant took the waist token, glanced at it, and then looked Zhou Yan up and down, still looking somewhat hesitant.

Just as he was about to say something, a familiar figure walked over from a distance. It was Lu Mingyu, dressed in the uniform of a constable.

"Captain Zhou, what are you doing...?"

'

Lu Mingyu looked at his disheveled appearance with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Upon seeing a familiar face, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but also said somewhat awkwardly, "Something happened, and my clothes got torn. I came to see Commander Lu, and I wonder if Officer Lu could inform him for me?"

Lu Mingyu suppressed a laugh and glanced at the waist tokens in the hands of the two servants.

"The badge is real, let me take him in."

The two servants quickly returned the waist token to Zhou Yan and stepped aside to make way for him.

"Lieutenant Zhou, please."

Zhou Yan followed Lu Mingyu into the Marquis's residence.

After passing through several courtyards, the two arrived at a reception room.

"Please sit here for a while, I'll go call my cousin."

After Lu Mingyu finished speaking, he turned and left.

A maid quickly brought tea.

Zhou Yan had just taken a few sips when Lu Qingshuang, dressed in casual clothes, walked in from outside.

Without her official uniform as a member of the Black Guard, she lacked some of her usual sharpness, but her eyes still exuded a cool and aloof air.

Zhou Yan stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Sister Lu. I had no intention of disturbing your cultivation, but I have an important matter that I cannot make up my mind about, so I have come to report it."

Lu Qingshuang looked him up and down.

His gaze lingered for a moment, especially on the obviously ill-fitting robe.

"What is it? Sit down and tell me."

Zhou Yan sat down again, took out the letter from his waist and handed it over, saying, "When I arrested the flower thief Tian Youfeng, I found this letter on his body. I didn't know what to do with it, so I came to find you, Sister Lu."

""

After opening the letter, Lu Qingshuang glanced at it and her expression became serious.

She glanced at Zhou Yan a few more times with a strange expression, finding it somewhat amusing.

Why does this kid always run into these kinds of things?

After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "What's your opinion on this matter?"

How do you see it? I see it with my eyes!

He inwardly scoffed, but outwardly maintained a serious expression, saying, "This subordinate cannot discern the meaning for the time being. However, this cryptic method of communication reminds me of the coded messages left behind by the Wusheng Sect, so—"

"You doubt the Wusheng sect?"

After a moment of thought, Lu Qingshuang shook her head slightly and said, "It shouldn't be the Wusheng Sect. Wumian was injured by my father, and the remaining members were chased out of Dongchaozhou by Commander Wu. Most of the Wusheng Sect's forces are still in the Southern Frontier, so it will be difficult for them to interfere in Jiande Prefecture in the short term."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan was taken aback.

He really didn't know any of these things. Since it wasn't the Wusheng Sect, he had even less idea who was plotting behind it.

A moment of silence fell over the hall.

A moment later, Lu Qingshuang suddenly looked up at Zhou Yan and said, "I want you to secretly investigate the Giant Whale Gang. Don't alert anyone yet. If you find anything, report to me immediately."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Giant Whale Gang.
