A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

"Snap!" A crisp sound.

Zhou Luan's right calf was crushed by Zhou An.

"Ahhh~~!" Zhou Luan screamed in agony.

"You...you've practiced martial arts too? You're a martial artist? No, that's impossible." Zhou Luan wailed in pain, completely disbelieving.

She didn't give up. After she became fierce, her hands glowed with blood as she repeatedly struck Zhou An's body.

However, the blows struck Zhou An without causing the slightest disturbance.

"Father, help! Help me!" Zhou Luan cried out for help in fear.

Zhou Luan clearly saw the shadow of a maid standing outside, but the maid did not move an inch.

"Keep calling out, why did you stop?" Zhou An looked at Zhou Luan with a faint smile.

"Zhou An, what exactly do you want to do?" Zhou Luan stopped shouting and just looked at Zhou An in fear.

Zhou An didn't speak, but with a burst of force from his right hand, he also snapped Zhou Luan's other leg.

"Ah~~!" Zhou Luan cried out in pain again.

"No...no, Zhou An, let me go, let me go."

"I'll marry you, I'll marry you and be your wife, what do you want to do to me..."

Before Zhou Luan could finish speaking, Zhou An casually tossed him to the ground.

With a muffled "thud," Zhou Luan fell to the ground, letting out another cry of pain.

Upon landing, Zhou Luan immediately curled up, concealing his private parts.

However, her legs were crushed, and the pain made it difficult for her to move them.

"Although you are not bad looking, you are not good enough to be my wife."

"Let's talk about my parents' affairs, and your misappropriation of resources," Zhou An asked calmly.

"You...you knew all along, you were hiding it all along."

"Wait, did you break through to the Bone Refining Realm and no longer want to hide it? Are you going to kill my whole family?" Zhou Luan trembled with fear.

"Am I asking you a question, or do you want to try my methods?" Zhou An thought to himself, and he took out the Bloodthorn.

Zhou Luan was even more terrified when he saw the thorny whip in Zhou An's hand.

"No, don't kill me, don't torture me, I'll talk, I'll talk," Zhou Luan said hurriedly.

Zhou Luan quickly revealed what he knew.

Zhou An remained expressionless, but his heart grew colder and colder as he listened.

The village chief had also practiced martial arts, but his aptitude was poor. He could barely sense qi and blood, and was considered a prospective martial artist, not even reaching the Body Tempering Realm.

Zhou An's parents were both at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.

Ten years ago, Zhou An's father and mother both broke through to the Bone Refining Realm.

Later, for some unknown reason, he returned from outside with severe injuries, but no one knows why.

Only the village chief found out by chance.

Then he plotted to extinguish the village's fire.

Zhou An's parents naturally stepped forward and temporarily held off the attacking monster.

Then the village chief rekindled the fire, dispelling the darkness.

Zhou An's parents were already at the end of their lives.

Finally, Zhou An was entrusted to the village chief, who was also given some resources.

After Zhou An's parents died, the village chief seized all the resources and successfully entered the martial arts world, becoming a martial artist in the Body Tempering Realm.

As for Zhou An, he was left at home without anyone taking care of him, just left to fend for himself.

They would send some food over every month to keep them from starving.

Thanks to the resources of Zhou An's parents, the village chief's cultivation level rose all the way to the peak of Body Tempering.

Even his two sons and daughters have become martial artists in the Body Tempering Realm.

"Your family is really great." Zhou An patted Zhou Luan on the head.

"No, don't kill me! Those are my fathers! My father is a beast! It has nothing to do with me!" Zhou Luan was terrified when he saw Zhou An's expressionless face.

Zhou An smiled slightly: "If your father is a beast, then you are naturally a beast too, and beasts don't deserve to live in this world."

Before Zhou Luan could reply, Zhou An abruptly activated the Spirit Devouring Technique.

The next instant, Zhou Luan's face showed terror, he let out an unconscious roar, and finally turned into a dried-up corpse.

"A beautiful skeleton, they're all the same even in death." Zhou An shook his head as he looked at Zhou Luan's body.

After putting away the props, Zhou An pushed open the door and walked out.

"Miss, have you finished bathing so quickly?" a maid asked instinctively.

But when she turned around and saw that the person who came out was a man, she was immediately stunned.

"Who...who are you?"

"Miss, where is Miss?"

"Help! Help!"

Several maids immediately shouted loudly.

Zhou An had already transformed into a completely different person.

That's the beauty of the monkey talisman: it's ever-changing and never reveals any flaws.

Zhou An ignored the maids and strode towards the outside of the courtyard.

Soon after, footsteps could be heard.

"How dare you trespass on my Zhou family's property!"

A furious shout was heard, and a figure suddenly rushed over, throwing a punch at Zhou An.

Zhou An raised his hand and clenched the incoming fist, then immediately activated the Soul Devouring Technique.

"Ugh!"

A painful roar immediately came from Zhou Feng's mouth.

In just a few breaths, Zhou Feng turned into a dried-up corpse.

"Big brother!"

"Xiaofeng!"

The village chief and the second son exclaimed in surprise as they entered the courtyard.

"You're asking for death for killing my elder brother!" Zhou Shan roared and attacked, this time drawing a long sword from his waist.

"Shan'er, retreat quickly!" The village chief tried to stop Zhou Shan, but Zhou Shan moved too fast.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An simply sidestepped to avoid the knife, and then reached out and precisely grabbed Zhou Shan's neck.

"Die!" Upon seeing this, the village chief roared and charged directly at Zhou An.

It was very fast, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An raised the hand that was gripping Zhou Shan's neck and directly blocked Zhou Shan in front of him.

A muffled thud!

The village chief's fist slammed into Zhou Shan's back.

"Pfft!" Zhou Shan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura became extremely weak.

"Shan'er!!!" The village chief's eyes widened in fury.

His eldest brother is already dead, but now his second brother has been punched to the point of near death.

He knew Zhou Shan's strength and also knew how heavy his own fists were.

If that punch landed, his son would be crippled, if not killed.

My two perfectly healthy sons are now useless.

"Tsk tsk tsk, village chief, how cruel you are, killing even your own son?"

Zhou An clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Father~~!" Zhou Shan uttered this word, then his head lolled to the side and he died.

"Shan'er~~!" The village chief looked at the dead Zhou Shan in disbelief.

He really did kill his own son.

"Who...who exactly are you?" The village chief pointed at Zhou An, his whole body trembling.

"Who am I? I'm the one who will kill you, of course." Zhou An's smile vanished.

With a thought, Zhou Shan's body instantly turned into a dried-up corpse.

Zhou An casually tossed Zhou Shan's body aside and looked at the village chief.

"Village Chief, do you want to die standing up? Or lying down? Or unconscious?" Zhou An asked softly.

The village chief turned and ran away without hesitation.

With such a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, how could they possibly escape?

Zhou An flashed forward and caught up with the village chief, placing his large hand on the village chief's head.

The village chief instantly crouched down, his face filled with terror.

"Spare me, senior! I'm willing to offer a thousand taels of silver and cultivation techniques!" the village chief pleaded hastily.

Just as Zhou An was about to deliver the killing blow, a thought struck him: "Where is the item?"

"Senior, can you spare me?" the village chief asked cautiously.

"You have no choice. Where is it?" Zhou An emphasized.
