Immortality begins in the Great Wilderness Grotto Heaven

Slum area, Changle warehouse.

"Master Jin, the goods for tomorrow are ready. We're just waiting for the boss to send someone over."

In the courtyard, a steward holding an account book spoke to Jin Biao behind his desk.

"In addition, someone reported this afternoon that two people from the City Guard were trying to find out about you and my Chang Le Gang."

Before Jin Biao could even ask, the bookkeeper spoke directly.

"I've had someone confirm that those two people were the ones who paid off the debt for that mother and daughter in front of Ma San yesterday."

"Don't worry about them. As long as they don't cause trouble, there's no need to pay them any attention."

"As for the Wild Wolf Gang, have they been up to anything lately?"

As he spoke, Jin Biao put down the book in his hand and said with a solemn expression.

"The Wild Wolf Gang is still the same as before, although they sent people to test us after Boss Peng died."

But even now, there has been no concrete action.

"Keep a close eye on them. Old Peng died under mysterious circumstances. If we let our guard down even slightly, we'll be next."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the bookkeeper nodded solemnly, and then, under Jin Biao's gaze, turned and walked out of the room.

"Is there anything else?"

However, the next moment, Jin Biao frowned.

He looked up.

The steward who opened the door suddenly stood still and then fell straight backward.

"Um?"

This sudden change caused a hint of doubt to flash in Jin Biao's eyes.

But at that moment, a dark figure suddenly burst in from outside the door and charged straight at him.

Seeing the murderous figure before him, Jin Biao did not hesitate at all. He stood up, drew the long sword beside him, and kicked the desk in front of him flying.

"The Wild Wolf Gang... no, you're that guy from the City Guard."

The desk was still in mid-air when Jin Biao's questioning voice came.

However, he had only spoken halfway when the questioning look in his eyes turned into astonishment as his nose twitched.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the mahogany desk split in two in mid-air.

A sharp blade of light rapidly magnified before Jin Biao's eyes.

"clang!"

The moment the two longswords clashed, Jin Biao's expression changed, and he was forced to stagger backward by the immense force emanating from the sword.

At the same time, a fleeting sword light suddenly pierced through his blind spot.

"Pfft!"

In the blink of an eye, Jin Biao's chest was pierced by the longsword, and he was pinned to the wall along with the sword.

Looking up again, the right hand holding the knife was thrown out as a flash of light fell.

"Something's off with this guy. He seemed to recognize me just now?"

Zhou An frowned as he looked at the gold plaque he had nailed to the wall.

Although the two fought for a very short time, the other party seemed to have realized his true identity immediately.

"Never mind, since this man is already dead, let's focus on finding gold and silver first."

Thinking of this, Zhou An withdrew his longsword and immediately began searching the room.

"Um?"

But at that moment, his expression changed, and he quickly looked at Jin Biao, who should have been a corpse.

Despite having a nail pierced through his chest and his right hand severed, Jin Biao slowly rose from the ground while coughing up large amounts of blood.

His eyes turned blood red at that moment, and his pupils suddenly contracted and bulged upwards.

In the span of three breaths, the golden sign in front of them transformed into a demon with a body covered in scales.

"I don't understand, sir. The woman's debt has already been settled, so why did you still come to visit so late at night?"

Meeting Zhou An's astonished gaze, Jin Biao grinned maliciously and charged straight at him.

"But it doesn't matter, you're going to die soon anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Biao suddenly spread his five fingers on his left hand, revealing a palm covered in scales that resembled a gleaming claw, which grew larger and larger in Zhou An's eyes.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An frowned.

He raised his sword and swung his knife.

"Bang!"

With a resounding hum, the golden emblem, now transformed into a demon, flew backward at a visible speed.

"How is that possible?"

Jin Biao, who had just slid down the wall, was stunned, his scarlet eyes filled with astonishment.

Night Watchman?

Even seasoned Night's Watch members are only at the Blood Refining Realm, let alone new recruits.

Even if the other party comes from a martial arts school, their cultivation level will definitely not exceed the Blood Refining Realm.

Despite having already unleashed his demonic power, he was sent flying in a single exchange.

"Although I don't know how you transformed into a demon, it's clear... your mind isn't working very well in your demon form."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou An moved.

At the same time, Jin Biao, who was still in a daze, felt a blur before his eyes and suddenly lost consciousness.

Inside the room, Zhou An stared at Jin Biao's head, which had rolled to the ground, his eyes filled with confusion.

"When the city defense department was conducting the assessment that day, I felt that those humanoid demons were different from the demon catalog that Senior Sister Xu had given me."

Now it seems that those three demons were all transformed from martial artists, but..."

The three humanoid demons did not transform into human form after they died that day.

However, Jinbiao, in just a few breaths, reverted to his human form once again.

The only difference is that its body still retains demonized scales.

This means that the golden sign in front of us is not a demon in disguise, but rather someone who has cultivated some kind of technique or secret art.

"It takes the form of a human and transforms into a demon, and in the process of demonization, both its speed and strength are enhanced."

What kind of cultivation technique could transform a perfectly healthy person into this state?

Zhou An frowned deeply.

Both being blood-training martial artists of the Chang Le Gang, Boss Peng didn't possess such abilities before his death.

Could it be that this person obtained this strange skill after Boss Peng died?

Looking at Jin Biao's body, Zhou An took a deep breath and immediately began searching the room quickly.

Before long, a cabinet hidden in the shadows came into Zhou An's view.

The cabinet door opened, and gleaming silver coins and ledgers immediately came into his view.

However, at this moment, Zhou An only glanced at the gleaming silver coins before focusing his attention on the account books.

After all, Boss Peng's Wave Palm technique was hidden in these ledgers.

He wanted to see if the pile of ledgers also contained the secret of Jin Biao's transformation into a demon.

"No, it seems his secret wasn't hidden here."

Looking at the bill in front of him, Zhou An took a deep breath, then immediately grabbed all the silver from the cabinet and quickly left.

However, before leaving, Zhou An set fire to the courtyard.

soon.

Accompanied by the sound of a gong, a squad of night watchmen quickly arrived.
