Xu Guang kicked the bull demon's head aside, and the bull demon finally died.

It turns out that demons, like death row inmates, die when their heads are cut off.

Having long been accustomed to seeing dead bodies and rivers of blood in military camps, the scenes were not particularly impactful.

Six months ago, when he first joined the Yabing camp, the Yabing general prepared four hundred death row inmates for the new recruits to hone their courage. Four hundred heads falling at the same time—that was a true river of blood, that was a nightmare.

It's just a small scene right now.

Xu Guang reached out and touched the bull demon's body. He had heard that these demons carried rare and precious medicines that were hard to find in the mountains.

Turning around, he saw the bull demon's head, which had rolled to the side, staring straight at Xu Guang.

Xu Guang stood up and kicked him away.

He then raised his long sword and slashed it repeatedly across the bull demon's body.

There was indeed a gain, not the medicinal herbs from the mountains as I had imagined, but a... pill!

Xu Guang narrowed his eyes.

Demons can also refine pills?

Without thinking much, he turned around and looked at the woman in white not far away.

The other person's mouth remained slightly open, their eyes filled with disbelief.

However, Xu Guang finally saw the woman's face. She was very beautiful, with an oval face, slightly upturned eyes, and a fox-like appearance. Her features were extremely delicate and perfect.

She has a stunning figure and is incredibly beautiful.

"Hey, who are you? Why is this thing chasing you?"

The woman trembled all over as she watched Xu Guang approach her with his knife. Although he didn't show any ferocity, the thought of Xu Guang killing the bull demon with a single blow sent chills down her spine.

If you're so efficient at killing demons, you must be even faster at killing people.

"My name is Wu Yunmiao, and I am a member of the Cao Gang. Yang Jinshan, the leader of the Cao Gang, is my husband. We were supposed to get married tonight, but I found out that he was going to give me to a demon, so I ran away."

He's quite eloquent.

Xu Guang thought to himself.

Canal gangs?

A powerful gang that claims to control waterway transportation in the north.

The head of the hall is probably the leader of the Cao Gang in Shuocheng.

"How did you escape to the clinic?"

"On my way out, I was captured by that bull demon. When I woke up, I was at the entrance of the clinic, so I ran inside, and then..."

Xu Guang listened to Wu Yunmiao's words and fell silent.

It seems the bull demon really knows Second Uncle; he came to the clinic specifically to see him.

How did my second uncle get involved with these demons?

Thinking of his second uncle's appearance before his death, Xu Guang suddenly had a thought. So, his second uncle told him to get lost because he knew that the demons knew about this place. Why didn't he just say so?

"What did it say you took?"

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Yunmiao saw the smile on Xu Guang's face gradually fade away, and the image of Xu Guang killing the bull demon with a single slash involuntarily floated into her mind again, and her heart tightened immediately.

"An old book, my benefactor, would you like it?"

"want!"

Wu Yunmiao: ...

She hesitated for a moment, then took out a yellowed animal hide scroll from her bosom. She didn't know what kind of animal hide it was, but it looked like a book and could actually turn the pages.

Xu Guang took the book and looked at it carefully.

The Art of Dragon Taming!

The name sounds grand.

This is a unique technique; the method involves nurturing a dragon within the body.

Xu Guang glanced at it a few times, then took a deep breath and closed the book.

"Where did this come from?"

"Yang Jinshan found these to give to the demon; both it and I are... gifts."

"Let's go, we can't stay here, let's find somewhere else."

Demons seem to have gained considerable influence in Shuocheng. Xu Guang killed the bull demon, and there's no doubt that more demons might come after him.

He was able to kill the bull demon because the bull demon ate his second uncle's poisoned corpse. In a direct confrontation, he would have been no match for it.

Wu Yunmiao followed behind very obediently.

"You don't need to follow me. You're safe now. Go find somewhere yourself."

Wu Yunmiao is very beautiful, that's for sure, but she's a problem.

"But... I have nowhere to go. The Canal Gang has a lot of influence in Shuocheng."

Xu Guang turned around and looked intently at Wu Yunmiao.

"Follow me."

They carefully collected their second uncle's body, wrapped it in a straw mat, and placed it in the coffin in the backyard.

I plan to take some time in the next few days to bury him.

No matter what my second uncle did, he was still family. When I went to join the army, my second uncle also gave me money.

……

Knock knock knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Old Wang opened the door and saw Xu Guang. "Little Guang?"

"Have you thought it through? You want to rent my yard?"

Xu Guang, being a military officer, was able to resolve many problems. Knowing that Xu Guang had returned, he had been hoping that Xu Guang would rent his house.

"Is the price still half a string of cash per month?"

"Three hundred coins is enough, Xiao Guang, I can definitely give you a discount if you rent from me."

Old Wang gave him the key.

Xu Guang refused to let him lead the way, and only after watching him enter the door did he wave to the shadows in the alley.

He led Wu Yunmiao into the neighboring courtyard.

"Find a place to stay, I'm going to sleep, don't bother me."

Wu Yunmiao nodded obediently.

Xu Guang glanced at the other person again before entering the main house.

Remove your clothes and open the panel.

[Saving a life, currently in Law: Evil]

[The demon, who had cultivated for ten years, has been slain. The judgment is in progress. He killed 23 people and saved 0. You have taken on his karma, reaping 23 evil consequences and 0 good consequences.]

Another disastrous outcome?

What use is the consequences of my actions?

Grass.

Xu Guang was speechless.

But the next moment, his eyes suddenly turned strange as he stared intently at the words on the panel.

Is it to bear the karma of demons?

If I find a demon, persuade him to do good and save people, and then find a reason to kill him, wouldn't I be reaping the consequences of his good deeds?

Suppress this somewhat far-fetched idea.

Xu Guang recalled his encounter that day. He realized that his second uncle's corpse had played a significant role in slaying the bull demon. What kind of poison had he taken? And why was it so effective against the bull demon?

Then I remembered that the bull demon knew my second uncle.

In his memory, his second uncle shouldn't have been involved with demons.

Thinking about it another way, Uncle Er knew that the bull demon would come looking for him that night, so he took the poison in advance, intending to kill the bull demon.

Were those final words to himself meant to scare himself away?

That doesn't seem quite reasonable either.

What exactly was the poison that my second uncle ate?

Xu Guang couldn't figure it out, so he could only suppress his thoughts and open the Dragon Taming Technique he had obtained from Wu Yunmiao.

The ancient book's title contains the character "术" (shu), which might correspond to the "术" on the control panel.

He had accumulated many bad deeds and was already desperately thirsting for the arts.

He took out the ancient book on dragon-taming techniques and read it carefully.

The effects described in this technique are quite mysterious. It involves nurturing a dragon within the body, and with each breakthrough in cultivation level, one gains an ability from the dragon within, until finally, one can transform into a dragon.

The prerequisites for cultivation are a bit troublesome.

You need to gather five kinds of dragon vein demons, and at the time of the alternation of the sun and moon, cut open your own limbs and chest and abdomen, and use a blood sacrifice ritual to nurture a true dragon in your body.

This looks so much like evil magic.

Xu Guang frowned; this thing was definitely not martial arts.

Thinking about what he had experienced in the past six months since his transmigration, he initially thought it was a normal historical world, but after going to the Yabing camp, he realized that there was also martial arts.

Later, even monsters like demons appeared.

This dragon-taming technique doesn't seem very proper.

However, we have to give it a try no matter what, otherwise all these bad consequences will really be a disaster.

Examine carefully the parts of the five types of demons you need: ox, snake, deer, bear, and fish.

The cows are already there, the rest…

Xu Guang thought of his father-in-law, whose soldiers had traveled far and wide over the years and had seen many demons, and even killed many of them. He asked his father-in-law to help him find what he needed.

In the other room, Wu Yunmiao was peering out the window, carefully listening to the sounds coming from next door.

My feelings are incredibly complicated.

I thought I was doomed, but I was unexpectedly saved.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, she realized that in this world, it would be difficult for a weak and beautiful woman like herself to survive.

The image of Xu Guang slaying the bull demon flashed through his mind again, along with the old man Wang's respectful attitude towards Xu Guang.

It seems that our benefactor has some other identity.

or……

She gave in to him; her only bargaining chip now was her still relatively clean body.

Thinking of this, I felt a pang of shame.

……

Xu Guang was about to go to sleep.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

It was Wu Yunmiao.

"My benefactor, would you like to take a bath? I've already boiled the water."

Xu Guang opened his eyes and looked at Yao Tiao's hazy figure outside the paper window. "No need. You should rest early too. We still need to find a place to stay tomorrow."

Wu Yunmiao, who was outside, was stunned when she heard this.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

She had finally mustered the courage to do so, but Xu Guang refused outright, and from his words, it seemed he wanted her to move out tomorrow and find her own place to live.

"My benefactor, please don't send me away, I..."
