Chapter 47: Heavenly Blood Aura Sword Technique, Greedy Wolf Evil Slayer
Chapter 47: Heavenly Blood Aura Sword Technique, Greedy Wolf Evil Slayer
Shen Yi never expected his plan to progress so smoothly.
Initially, he had planned to spend a month's time to reach the Initial Realm before the Demon Suppressing Bureau's inspection, resolving the troubles left by his past life and clearing his tarnished reputation in the process.
But in just over ten days, he had not only achieved Initial Realm Perfection, but also eliminated a significant portion of the deeply entangled demonic beings.
As for his reputation...
Even the loss of a small amount of money was enough for the common folk to boldly seek help by blocking his door.
It seems his reputation wasn't all that bad.
Joining the Demon Suppressing Bureau should be a sure thing now.
Shen Yi looked at the panel.
【Remaining Lifespan: 46 years】
The consecutive increases in lifespan came from achieving Mortal Body Perfection and breaking through the Initial Realm.
If he were to live out his natural lifespan, he would be 72 years old.
In his previous life, with his poor lifestyle of constant smoking and drinking, to live to this age, Shen Yi would truly be grateful for his ancestors' blessings and superior genes.
He wasn't an ungrateful person.
But to live out a natural lifespan wasn't as simple as it seemed.
Within a short period, he had encountered so many life-threatening situations, and he hadn't even truly ventured outside the county town, with the farthest he'd gone being the wasteland outside Shilong Village.
If not for his martial arts, he would have died long ago, leaving nothing but a pile of bones.
Shen Yi had also considered simply shedding his current identity and becoming a retainer for some wealthy dog owner, holding heavy silver ingots, marrying a plump and soft beauty, closing the door, and making a contribution to the local population.
But... who could guarantee that he wouldn't become the next Liu Qi after falling asleep?
Although his cultivation realm was far superior to Liu Qi's, what was that old man compared to the numerous demonic beings?
"..."
Shen Yi stared at the panel, and as he contemplated the imminent opportunity to leave Baiyun County, his desire for the demonic being's lifespan intensified.
【Remaining Demonic Being's Lifespan: 652 years】
The Blood Fiend Blade Technique was just one step away from completion, and tonight, he would kick down that final barrier.
As his lifespan flowed into the technique, lines of text appeared before his eyes.
【Year 1: According to your previous idea, you continue to attempt to use your inner breath to transform the blood aura attached to the blade.】
【Year 7: You observe the red mist on the Black Blade gradually solidifying, and your heart becomes calm. The saying, 'One method leads to a thousand methods,' is indeed true.】
【Year 12: Due to impatience, the blood aura shatters, damaging your meridians. You believe that the saying, 'One method leads to a thousand methods,' is all nonsense. A slight difference in approach can lead to a world of difference. There are no two identical leaves in the world.】
...
Shen Yi felt the stinging sensation throughout his body and was slightly speechless.
After so many years of experimentation, he was still as rash as a brute, constantly putting his body at risk.
Was his lack of intelligence compensated by his courage? Couldn't he show a little patience?
He slightly increased the speed at which he infused his lifespan.
【Year 33: You repair the hidden injuries in your body, stabilize your mind, and first let the blood aura and true essence aura merge and become familiar with each other.】
【Year 59: After years of experimentation, your true essence aura undergoes a transformation, and you subtly feel your temperament becoming more irritable.】
【Lost: Jade Dew. Quad Harmony True Aura (Perfection)】
【Realization: Jade Dew. Heavenly Blood Aura (Perfection)】
【Year 97: You completely suppress the restless killing intent within your body and sense that this transformed martial art far surpasses its previous power. You can't help but exclaim that your initial idea was indeed correct.】
【Year 120: After years of suppressing the demonic being's temperament, your control over this path becomes increasingly profound. Removing its demonic aura and emphasizing the intent to kill, with a slight movement of your divine sense, a layer of invisible true essence aura rapidly covers the blade.】
【Realization: Jade Dew. Greedy Wolf Evil Slayer】
【Remaining Demonic Being's Lifespan: 432 years】
...
If not for the final few lines of text that appeared...
Shen Yi almost thought he had misinterpreted the martial art.
The Quadruple True Aura he had just learned suddenly transformed into something completely different. Unlike its previous upright and domineering nature, after being tainted by the Blood Fiend, one could sense its sinister nature just from its name.
On the other hand, the Blood Fiend Blade Technique, which originally had a strong demonic essence, had returned to its pure form, completely eradicating any demonic aura.
Greedy Wolf Evil Slayer.
Shen Yi casually picked up Blacky, and the black blade instantly unsheathed.
As the inner breath within the great acupoint circulated, the entire blade seemed to darken inexplicably in Shen Yi's eyes... It was a hard-to-describe feeling, as if it had blended into the night sky, leaving no trace of its existence.
"..."
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment and touched the blade with his index finger.
The blade sank into his flesh without any resistance, and the blood did not drip. Instead, it strangely seeped into the blade, forming an almost imperceptible blood line that faintly traced the length of the sword.
Shen Yi silently stared at his fingertip.
This was his first injury since achieving perfection in the Golden Sun Eight Treasure Mystic Body.
What truly made his heart race was that... until his skin was broken, if he hadn't been paying close attention, he wouldn't have noticed a thing based solely on touch.
The ceremonial saber, gleaming with a dark luster, seemed tailor-made for slaughter.
Shen Yi slowly sheathed his blade.
Beyond his surprise, he couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance.
There was such a ruthless sword technique in the Jade Dew Realm, and for a moment, he couldn't think of any countermeasures.
If there was another him charging with a drawn sword.
A direct confrontation would be fine; he could create some distance, unleash hundreds of Quadruple True Aura strikes, and even a small mountain would shatter under its might.
But if the opponent didn't play by the rules and tried to ambush him...
They would grab him by the neck, pretend to be friendly and chat, and then suddenly draw their sword and stab him!
"..."
Shen Yi shook his head and channeled the demonic being's lifespan into the Golden Sun Eight Treasure Mystic Body.
One had to admit that the Vajra Sect's method was indeed slow.
But it was perfectly suited for him.
Although the Eight Treasure Mystic Body had reached perfection, there was no limit to the strength of one's physical body.
Before he could deduce the latter half of the technique, even if the amplification became increasingly slow, every little bit helped.
[First year: With the constant tempering of the inner breath within the acupoint, your body will slightly improve.]
[Second year...]
By the time the morning light began to glow.
Shen Yi retained three hundred years of the demonic being's lifespan for future needs.
He got up and stretched his body, his skin's resilience was hard to gauge, but his strength had undoubtedly increased by about twenty percent.
After changing into clean clothes, he went to the usual stall at the entrance: "One pancake, with two eggs."
"Mister Shen, you usually get two portions, what's the matter today? Don't feel like eating?" The vendor skillfully prepared the food while asking with a smile.
"Not very hungry, just not used to having an empty stomach," Shen Yi replied as he placed the money on the table and smiled. His gaze was calm, showing no sign of desolation.
With his current identity, he shouldn't have any connection with those refined and beautiful young ladies, especially as an agent of the Demon Suppressing Bureau.
"We're not deaf either."
The vendor glanced around and then whispered, "Last night, many people were arrested, all of them county magistrates... You're not one of them, so why worry?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi took the pancake and glanced down the long street.
They sure were quick.
According to the memories of his previous life, this action meant that the Demon Suppressing Bureau would completely take over Baiyun County.
At the same time...
It was time to choose their people.
Whether he could secure a good future depended on today.
It's Tuesday again, and for those still reading this book, please help by clicking to the last page.
