[Martial Arts:]
[Golden Bell Shield (Uninitiated)]
[Blood Fiend Saber Technique (Proficient)]
[Current Cultivation: None]
[Adding cultivation to martial arts can improve martial arts progress.]
[Slaying demons and evil spirits can yield corresponding cultivation.]
It turned out that my blurry vision before wasn't due to a head injury or eye problems, but a golden finger.
A golden finger that grants cultivation upon slaying demons and eradicating evil.
Wei Fan frowned slightly. His Golden Bell Shield was still Uninitiated, so going to slay demons would just be suicide.
"Didn't you see? I'm forcing you. You killed Old Man Zhang, and this is the price for your meddling.
If you hadn't meddled yesterday, at most I would've taken her body. But now I've changed my mind. I'll have her, then give her to Tiger Nine to eat, and slowly torture you to death.
Try to lay a hand on me again today, and see if I need to act. Your Captain will flay you alive, believe it or not.
Gang Member? How impressive."
Yang Jun walked over and slapped Wei Fan's face, but Wei Fan grabbed Yang Jun's hand, stopping the slap.
Zhou Qi said, "Yang Jun, don't go too far. We are Gang Members after all. Yesterday, Wei Fan was indeed in the wrong. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jun's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Get lost! Since you didn't act yesterday, I won't bother you, but for Wei Fan, no amount of pleading will help!"
Wei Fan released Yang Jun's hand and said, "I admit I can't afford to provoke the Fierce Tiger Gang. I was impulsive yesterday. What will it take for you to let yesterday's matter go and spare Zhang?"
He kept looking at Yang Jun, and after he finished speaking, the scene before him changed again.
[Yang Jun: Rape, plunder, forcing good people into prostitution, feeding demons for three years, his heart is black!
Kill him, and gain three years of cultivation.]
He's a red-named monster!
So people can also be considered demons!
Yang Jun isn't a martial artist, which means this cultivation isn't that kind of cultivation, or perhaps his understanding of cultivation is too narrow, believing that only martial artists possess cultivation.
"Finally know fear? Come, lick the blood of Old Man Zhang clean off this saber for me, and I'll tell you. You must kneel and lick it, otherwise, I'll take this Xiao Ya right here in front of you."
Seeing Wei Fan wasn't as unyielding as yesterday, Yang Jun handed over the saber stained with Old Man Zhang's blood, becoming even more arrogant.
He had said he would slowly torture Wei Fan to death, this was just the beginning.
"Rape, plunder, forcing good people into prostitution, feeding demons for three years, his heart is black!"
"Kill him, and gain three years of cultivation!"
Wei Fan stared at the words on the panel, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, gradually giving way to a hint of madness.
You want to rub it in, huh? Want to play rough? Think you're the only one who knows how to play?
Fierce Tiger Gang, Tiger Demon?
We all have one life. The Tiger Demon isn't even here, and you want to play like this?
"Give me the saber!"
Wei Fan reached out, and Yang Jun smilingly handed the saber to Wei Fan.
He thought that kneeling and licking it clean would be the end of it, but he had prepared many things.
"Brothers, watch closely, our Guard Wei is about to perform a special skill!"
Yang Jun was wildly arrogant: "Hurry up and kneel, lick all the blood clean!"
He really wanted to see what reaction Wei Fan, who saved Old Man Zhang and his granddaughter yesterday, would have when licking Old Man Zhang's blood.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw Wei Fan, after taking the saber, step forward, grab his neck with one hand, and with the saber in the other, thrust it forward fiercely.
Pfft!
The sound of clothing and bone being severed rang out, and the sharp long saber instantly pierced Yang Jun's chest, with the tip emerging from his back.
"Hoo… hoo…"
In an instant, Yang Jun's chest heaved violently like a leaking bellows. He stared at Wei Fan, who was close at hand, with a look of terror and disbelief. Had this guy's backbone never softened?
"Blood Fiend Saber Technique!"
The long saber was pulled out, and hot blood sprayed, splattering everywhere.
Wei Fan, like a phantom, quickly stepped forward and struck the two men holding Zhang with another saber blow.
The blood-stained long saber vibrated, emitting a soft hum, and a faint red light bloomed.
"Proficient Blood Fiend Saber Technique!"
Zhou Qi shrieked!
He remembered the Chief Instructor saying when he received the Blood Fiend Saber Technique that three months to be Initiated was average, and three months to achieve minor success meant having saber talent.
Wei Fan, with Proficient Blood Fiend Saber Technique in three months, what did that count as?
Saber light flashed, breathtaking, a head with wide-open eyes flew up, followed by a second one.
With just one saber strike, the two men holding Zhang were both decapitated, and blood shot into the sky.
Before the spraying blood could fall, a large hand grabbed Xiao Ya, saving her from being drenched in blood.
She looked up at the person who had grabbed her with a complex expression of both shock and gratitude. Smelling the blood on the saber, she felt a wave of nausea in her stomach.
"You… you killed Yang Jun and them."
Zhou Qi stumbled back, large beads of sweat instantly appearing on his forehead.
In the alley, Yang Jun lay dead, blood beginning to spread from beneath him, his eyes still wide with disbelief.
Zhou Qi's scalp tingled!
To his knowledge, more than one or two Gang Members had been caught by the Fierce Tiger Gang and fed to the tiger demon. Killing the Fierce Tiger Gang's altar master's brother-in-law was a huge disaster.
Moreover, rumors circulated that the tiger demon behind the Fierce Tiger Gang was not just one, but a whole den.
"Yang Jun killed someone and resisted arrest, and also tried to kill the hostage, so he was slain by Gang Member Wei Fan."
Wei Fan gently flicked the saber, shaking off the blood and revealing the gleaming blade. The killing intent on him gradually subsided.
The chilling gaze made Zhou Qi tremble. He reacted and quickly said:
"Yes, yes… Yang Jun killed someone and resisted arrest, and also tried to kill the hostage, so he was slain by Gang Member Wei Fan. Wei Fan, you saved a life, this is a great merit, I'll go call people now!"
His voice trembled slightly. After speaking, he turned and ran out of the alley.
Wei Fan watched Zhou Qi's retreating figure disappear, ultimately not acting against Zhou Qi. Whether he lived or died depended on Zhou Qi's next choice.
"Do you have any other family?" Wei Fan leaned down.
Xiao Ya's cheeks were swollen and tear-stained: "Yes… I have a cousin!"
"Go find her quickly. I'll handle your grandfather's matter!"
He slipped some money to Xiao Ya.
After Xiao Ya left, he found a spot in the alley and sat down, his face pale.
Blood Fiend Saber Technique!
This was a demon-slaying saber technique passed down by the Yamen, allowing Gang Members who hadn't cultivated true qi to fight demons with it.
This saber technique, which could contend with demons without true qi, couldn't be used without any cost.
Before cultivating true qi, each use was like sacrificing one's life; every saber strike would cut off a portion of one's own vital blood.
Vital blood is the foundation of a person. Excessive use would not only lead to physical depletion but could also result in death.
"You hit me with a stick, I return it with a saber. Neither of us gained an advantage!"
Looking at Yang Jun's already stiff corpse, Wei Fan looked at the panel.
[Slaying Yang Jun, gained three years of cultivation!]
[Slaying Yang Ping, gained half a year of cultivation!]
[Slaying Yang Zhi, gained half a year of cultivation!]
Current Cultivation: 4 years
All three were surnamed Yang, and he gained four years of cultivation!
Wei Fan's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected killing the other two to also yield cultivation. Four years of cultivation should be enough to improve the Golden Bell Shield.
First, he needed to cultivate true qi. Constantly sacrificing blood to use the Blood Fiend Saber Technique was not a long-term solution. Many Gang Members' inability to be Initiated into the Golden Bell Shield was also related to excessive use of the Blood Fiend Saber Technique.
To put it bluntly, Gang Members like them were consumables. The world lacked many things, but never lack cannon fodder.
"Four years of cultivation, all added to Golden Bell Shield!"
As Wei Fan thought this, the panel flickered:
[Deducting four years of cultivation, adding to martial art Golden Bell Shield!]
[Your talent is decent. One year of cultivation, Golden Bell Shield breaks through to the second layer!]
[Two years of cultivation, immediately breaks through to the fourth layer!]
[Three years of cultivation, Golden Bell Shield breaks through to the fifth layer!]
[Four years of cultivation, Golden Bell Shield breaks through to the sixth layer!]
[Golden Bell Shield (Sixth Layer)]
The results of adding cultivation were actually related to one's own talent. His predecessor's three months of cultivating Golden Bell Shield without being Initiated wasn't due to poor talent.
When he obtained the Golden Bell Shield, the Chief Instructor had said that achieving Initiation in one year meant having martial arts talent; those with poor aptitude couldn't even be Initiated in two or three years.
One year of cultivation directly allowed the Golden Bell Shield to break through to the second layer, and after four years of cultivation, the Golden Bell Shield reached the sixth layer.
Many people cultivate their entire lives and never reach the sixth layer of the Golden Bell Shield.
Accompanying the improvement, Wei Fan felt a roar in his dantian as if it had exploded, followed by a surge of powerful true qi. His body began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
Muscles and bones solidified, and his body became stronger.
As a martial art that cultivates both internal and external aspects, the Golden Bell Shield not only cultivates true qi but also tempers the body.
The depleted vital blood recovered, becoming full and robust again, and his strength began to increase.
