I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

The remaining martial artists of the Longevity Cult scattered like birds and beasts.

"You've committed countless evils, and you still want to escape?" Xu Hao kicked aside the corpse blocking his way and began the chase.

Xu Hao's strength is now too great; with every rise and fall, he inevitably takes away a villain from the Longevity Cult.

It was like killing a chicken.

Effortless.

[You have gained 1000 experience points for killing a valuable creature!]

You have killed a valuable creature and gained 500 experience points!

……

Your level has increased, and you have gained one free attribute point!

The notification sounds from the panel kept echoing in my mind.

Xu Hao's movements remained unchanged.

In the blink of an eye, all the villains in the courtroom were brought to justice without exception!

Outside, the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard.

Clearly, Zhao Heshan and his men had arrived and were eliminating the remaining evil followers of the Longevity Cult.

Xu Hao brandished his long sword, which was already somewhat dull, and returned to the yamen in Qingmu Township.

On the ground, a large amount of money was piled up.

Xu Hao pondered for a moment, then took the silver notes.

He did not touch the silver and copper coins.

He is not the kind of person who would abandon principles for personal gain.

Today, many people are still alive in Qingmu Township, and the money in front of them all comes from the people of Qingmu Township.

If he takes it all, the people will surely suffer.

As for why the silver notes were taken, it's because these likely came from wealthy households in Qingmu Township, as well as money plundered by corrupt officials and evil township heads.

Given the methods used by the villains of the Longevity Cult, the wealthy households would most likely have all been robbed, leaving the property ownerless.

In this way, Xu Hao could take it without feeling guilty.

After taking the large sum of silver notes, Xu Hao went to the body of the Changsheng Sect captain and began to search it.

Unfortunately, this person didn't have any Vitality Pills.

Clearly, not all martial artists who have reached the fourth level of the Longevity Sect possess the Energy Pill.

Xu Hao waited for a moment before Zhao Heshan and the others came in from outside.

They immediately spotted Xu Hao, as well as the numerous pieces of silver and copper coins in the center of the courtroom.

"What's going on here?" Zhao Heshan asked.

"The mayor of Qingmu Township has defected to the Changsheng Cult, and this money is most likely the hard-earned money of the people of Qingmu Township!" Xu Hao explained one by one, recounting what he had seen and heard.

"Damn it!" Zhao Heshan kicked the corpse of the Qingmu Township mayor in a fit of rage, and then began to arrange personnel for overall coordination.

Xu Hao did not participate in the subsequent attempts to appease her.

Because he doesn't know how either.

The damage to Aoki Township will be considerable, and many follow-up matters still need to be sorted out and coordinated.

He couldn't help.

He then found a relatively clean room and opened his personal attributes panel.

"I've leveled up nine times, not bad!" Xu Hao looked at his level and was delighted.

Even with a significant increase in experience points, being able to level up to level nine is still beyond expectations.

More importantly, the continuous battles greatly enhanced his various martial arts skills, leading to rapid improvement.

Xu Hao glanced at the nine free attribute points, but he didn't immediately add them to his spirit.

He took out the Marrow Cleansing Pill that he had obtained from Zhao Heshan.

This stuff can not only cleanse the meridians and pulse, but also enhance the spirit.

Xu Hao didn't immediately improve his spirit because he was afraid that if he did, an ancient marrow cleansing pill wouldn't be able to achieve the +5 effect.

The dim yellow pill was taken out, and immediately a refreshing fragrance filled the air.

Just one whiff of it made Xu Hao feel refreshed, and some of the fatigue from the continuous fighting dissipated.

"As expected of an ancient elixir, its effects are truly remarkable!"

Xu Hao took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and swallowed the Ancient Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The next second, the pill transformed into a surge of immense energy, flowing from the throat into the stomach, releasing a massive amount of power.

Xu Hao already had experience refining pills, so he immediately activated his cultivation method and began to absorb them.

hum.

The energy of the elixir surged into the body, bringing a refreshing sensation.

This felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over my entire body, making me shiver all over.

It felt very comfortable.

Xu Hao immersed himself in this comfort, constantly consuming himself.

He could even feel that his body and internal organs were being nourished in some way.

Time slips away unnoticed.

Outside the courtroom, Zhao Heshan and others were rescuing the people and putting out the fire, while inside the courtroom, Xu Hao was constantly refining himself.

The sky grew brighter.

The entire Aoki Township was shrouded in a deathly atmosphere, and many people were weeping softly.

The message had already been sent by carrier pigeon to Qinghe County.

People from Qinghe County are coming, but it will take some time.

By morning...

Inside a room in the courtroom, Xu Hao's aura suddenly surged, then returned to calm.

You have received some effects from the Cleansing and Rejuvenation process; your Spirit has increased by 5.

In an instant, Xu Hao opened his eyes, a shrewd glint in them.

Xu Hao immediately sensed something was different.

His eyes were sharper, his senses were enhanced, and even the fatigue from yesterday's battle was gone.

"Is this the benefit of boosting my spirit? I should have added it too!"

Xu Hao sighed, but he did not regret it.

It was precisely because he first increased his strength, stamina, and agility that he became so powerful today.

If his four attributes were evenly distributed, his attributes would not be able to overwhelm a level four-break martial artist.

If he can't achieve a crushing victory, then all the points he put in would be wasted.

How could things be like this now, where killing a fourth-level martial artist is as easy and simple as killing a chicken?

Xu Hao took a deep breath and opened his personal attribute panel again.

He glanced at the remaining nine free attribute points and immediately tried to allocate them to Strength.

Strength+1

hum.

The surge of energy brought Xu Hao's power to a terrifying level.

"We can add more!" Xu Hao's face lit up with joy.

Strength+1

The next moment, Xu Hao felt a surge of immense power coursing through his body, giving him an urge to shatter space with a single punch.

"continue!"

Xu Hao didn't stop; he wanted to see where the upper limit of the power boost was after Spirit +5.

Since he no longer has access to techniques related to spirit and soul, all he can rely on is strength, stamina, and agility!

He needs to ensure that these three aspects are always at the forefront.

Xu Hao had a thought and gave the order to add points, but the expected surge of energy did not appear. Instead, a notification sound appeared first:

[Your power has reached its current physical limit. If you forcibly add more power, your soul will lose control of your body's power. Please proceed with caution!]
