Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The next morning, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly pounded on.

Liu Yue'e was suddenly awakened from her sleep.

"Don't be afraid."

Jiang Chuan quickly got out of bed, put on his clothes, comforted her, and walked towards the courtyard gate alone.

Two constables stood outside the door, one with his hand on the hilt of his sword and the other with a book in his pocket, scrutinizing him with cold faces.

Jiang Chuan showed just the right amount of fear, then asked, "Sir, what happened?"

"Hey kid, have you seen any weird people lately?"

The officer pushed open the door, glanced around the courtyard, and spoke curtly.

Jiang Chuan felt a sense of relief.

It turned out that it was just questioning, not because his actions last night had been exposed.

He showed no emotion whatsoever, calmly shaking his head:

"no."

"Things haven't been peaceful in the county lately, so keep your eyes peeled."

The official warned, "If you see any strangers or suspicious individuals, report them to the authorities immediately!"

Jiang Chuan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I'll remember."

"Please take care, sir."

After saying this, the two officers turned around and went to knock on the door of the next house.

As soon as the courtyard gate closed, the smile on Jiang Chuan's face vanished.

Liu Yue'e came out of the house, looking somewhat panicked.

After all, in her mind, government officials coming to her door was never a good thing.

"Xiao Chuan, what do the officials want with you?"

"Routine questioning, nothing wrong."

Jiang Chuan patted her hand. "Let's go back inside."

After calming her down, Jiang Chuan leaned against the door, listening to the officials questioning him from next door. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

really.

The Wang family has always colluded with the government.

The Wang family had only lost a few dogs, yet it alarmed the authorities and led to a house-to-house search.

In Zhang County, if he wanted to seek justice for himself...

I'm afraid we'll have to rely on our own fists.

but.

Fortunately.

Jiang Chuan was very experienced in murder, and he handled the traces very cleanly.

I figured they wouldn't be able to trace it back to me anytime soon.

……

Sure enough, several days passed and the officials did not come looking for him again.

Until this day.

Jiang Chuan passed by the notice board in the city and saw a crowd gathered there, so he stopped in his tracks.

In the past few days, there have been noticeably more government officials patrolling the city, and everyone on the streets is on edge.

He squeezed in to take a look.

A new notice was posted on the column, the ink still wet.

The notice, written in black and white, stated: "Recently, a ruthless serial killer has appeared in our county, having already murdered dozens of people. The government is making every effort to apprehend him. Anyone with information to report him will be richly rewarded."

After reading the contents of the notice, Jiang Chuan was immediately surprised.

Dozens of lives lost?!

He merely killed Qi Baye and two others.

Where did these dozens come from?

This is...

They've come to settle accounts with him!?

However, he quickly realized that the serial killer must be someone else!

Moreover, it was that person who took the blame for him, attracting the attention of the government and the Wang family!

and so.

That's why they never suspected themselves...

People were whispering among themselves under the notice board.

"I heard that the serial killer mainly killed the lackeys who usually did evil for the Wang family."

"Good riddance!"

"Keep your voice down, are you out of your mind?"

"I've also heard that that swordsman only appears at night, coming and going without a trace, like a ghost!"

"Ha, perhaps it really is those wronged souls the Wang family killed who have returned to claim their lives!"

Jiang Chuan seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems this person is a righteous knight-errant who acts on behalf of Heaven.

He squeezed through the crowd and made a mental note of it.

Regardless.

Because of the existence of this mysterious swordsman.

It's likely that no one will investigate him for killing Master Qi and the others.

Life settled down peacefully.

Jiang Chuan continued to go hunting in the mountains every day as usual.

Selling goods to make money.

The rice jar at home was full for the first time.

Liu Yue'e's smile grew more frequent each day.

That day, he also bought two feet of floral fabric from the market and asked Liu Yue'e to make him a new dress.

She said it was a waste, but her eyes were sparkling.

However, because of Wang Lie, Jiang Chuan did not go to Qingfeng Martial Arts School immediately after saving up enough tuition fees.

He intends to wait until the turmoil subsides completely.

We'll talk about it again when the Wang family no longer suspects us.

otherwise.

Going to Qingfeng Martial Arts School would be suicide.

During this period, I will rely on hunting to increase my qi and blood.

But several more days passed.

Jiang Chuan soon encountered a problem.

His Qi and Blood, after increasing to 10.0 through hunting, could no longer be improved.

No matter how many prey you capture, the numbers on the panel remain unchanged.

Even that familiar warmth is gone.

Instead, there is a subtle feeling of fullness.

His body, at this moment, was like a balloon filled with water.

It has reached its limit.

Any more and it will burst.

Jiang Chuan clenched his fist.

Ten points of Qi and Blood.

The strength of a thousand pounds.

He could easily overpower seven or eight strong men with one hand.

But that's where it ends.

Jiang Chuan knew in his heart that he had probably reached the limit of a mortal body.

I want to break through.

We must find a proper cultivation method!

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment.

Almost half a month has passed since he killed Master Qi, and the Wang family has not sent anyone to cause him any trouble.

Presumably, they still don't know the cause of death of Master Qi and the others.

It was all blamed on that mysterious swordsman.

That being the case.

Does that mean he can go to Qingfeng Martial Arts School?

……

Today, when Jiang Chuan returned from hunting, he encountered an uninvited guest at the entrance of the alley.

He was a burly man with a sinister look, and his hands were covered in calluses with large knuckles.

He stood at the entrance of the alley, slowly scanning everyone who entered or left.

Jiang Chuan glanced at the other person once, and an alarm bell rang in his mind.

The other party's aura was much stronger than that of Master Qi and those two rascals.

He must be a martial artist who has undergone proper training!

And this person.

It was actually Song Kun.

Song Kun has discovered that on the night Qi Baye died, he was working for Wang Lun and wanted to kidnap a woman in this alley.

They were unable to find any clues about the mysterious swordsman.

Therefore, he plans to follow this line of inquiry first to see if he can find anything.

Jiang Chuan did not recognize Song Kun at this time, but he had already instinctively sensed that the other party was up to no good.

He lowered his eyes and slowed his breathing.

Just a few steps away was the gate to his own courtyard. He intended to pretend to be an ordinary hunter and walk past it casually.

But the powerful qi and blood within him, in the eyes of a true martial artist, are like a torch in the dark.

No matter how you try to hide it, you can't hide it.

As the two passed each other, Song Kun's gaze fell upon the woodcutter's knife at Jiang Chuan's waist.

His eyes suddenly flickered, then he abruptly turned around and asked in an icy tone:

"You are Jiang Chuan?"
