I can push my cultivation progress to the end

The sun had already set, and the faint night sky held the large moon high in the middle of the sky.

Yet, under the shroud of this dim moonlight, Oxhorn Town was incredibly noisy.

Because almost all the townspeople had left their homes, and together with the militia of the local defense force, they were collecting and disposing of the thousands of corpses scattered throughout the streets and alleys, as well as the bloodstains and grime covering the ground and walls.

Of course, this wasn't of their own volition, but the result of Li Hai scattering large amounts of gold and silver.

The reason he was still doing this troublesome thing was because he felt...that while he had enjoyed the killing spree, it would be too immoral to just pat his butt and leave without saying a word, leaving a pile of corpses unattended.

One should know that the weather in the Wyrmmount region was hot and humid, and if the bodies weren't disposed of in time, they would definitely breed plague. He wasn't afraid, but the people of Oxhorn Town would suffer greatly.

This kind of fake satisfaction that only cared about one's own pleasure without considering the feelings of the common people was not what Li Hai wanted.

But under normal circumstances, this was an almost impossible task to complete.

First of all, how could the bloodstains be cleaned without leaving a trace, and where should the corpses be transported to?

Because in the Zou Clan's Southern Border Poison Arts Compendium, there were many methods of quickly dissolving corpses.

Using these methods, and consuming a large amount of medicinal materials from various pharmacies in Oxhorn Town, Li Hai spent only an hour configuring ten whole pools of corpse-dissolving liquid, enough to dissolve the two thousand, nearly three thousand, bandit corpses cleanly without leaving a drop of blood.

So the residents of Oxhorn Town only needed to endure the pungent smell of blood and the terrifying appearance of the bandits, and carry the corpses one by one to the edge of the corpse-dissolving pools, and then push them in with force.

But even with such a simple task, it took the townspeople several hours until dawn to barely complete it, and there were quite a few who vomited until they fainted.

However, there weren't many people who complained about this, because the residents of Oxhorn Town, who had lived in this chaotic Wyrmmount region since childhood, were very clear.

If these ruthless Wolf Mountain bandits were still alive at this time, they would not know how many heinous crimes they would commit.

Robbing property, killing people at will, abducting and selling children, raping and humiliating women... there was nothing they wouldn't do.

Even many townspeople's family members, relatives, and friends had died at the hands of these bandits.

Therefore, the townspeople, who felt very relieved, were also very energetic in their work.

In addition, apart from the bloody stimulation brought by the many corpses, the townspeople were actually more horrified.

They were horrified that these thousands of vicious Wolf bandits were actually killed cleanly by one person.

And all of them died in extremely miserable ways, making people tremble with fear.

Thus, the ignorant townspeople even began to think... that Li Hai might not be human at all, but a Heavenly Killer Star descended to earth.

So, in the whispers of these townspeople during their busy intervals, Li Hai's identity was transformed from a person to a god, becoming a demon star descended into the world.

Li Hai himself naturally didn't know about this.

As for the dirty work of transporting all the used corpse-dissolving liquid to the wilderness outside the town, the militiamen of the local defense force would have to do it.

Fortunately, with the large amount of gold and silver generously spent by Li Hai as a reward, the militiamen didn't have much resentment, and were even very happy.

Not only the militiamen, but Li Hai also gave generous money to the residents of Oxhorn Town who carried the corpses, as compensation for their psychological trauma.

Anyway, Li Hai didn't care about money at all.

In short, under his monetary offensive, Oxhorn Town, which was covered with corpses, roughly returned to its original appearance in just one night.

It was just that the extremely heavy smell of blood and the scarlet traces hidden in many nooks and crannies would need time to slowly erase.

And after all these things were settled, the time came to dawn.

"It's almost time."

On the high platform, Li Hai, with his back to Zhou Hu, who was tied naked to the wooden stake, smiled softly while arranging his knives, "You, it's time for you to go on your way."

Hearing this, Zhou Hu, whose face was ashen, merely opened his mouth and then closed it again, his eyes full of despair and hopelessness.

Before returning to Oxhorn Town, Li Hai had already shown Zhou Hu all the unique skills that Zhou Hu possessed, and had cultivated each one to the peak of perfection.

Li Hai didn't explain much about this, letting Zhou Hu guess for himself.

And Zhou Hu, thanks to Li Hai's previous earth-shattering statement that he could learn all of other people's unique skills at a glance, and Li Hai's terrifying performance of reaching the peak of the Wuxiang Fengjue technique as soon as he learned it, he couldn't control himself and became more and more afraid, scaring him to the point where he had no confidence in his master.

"My son is dead, my whole family is dead, I...am also going to die, and no one can avenge me, because my biggest backer...my master, will also die, die at the hands of this Li Hai."

Thinking of this, Zhou Hu trembled like a sieve, terrified and desperate.

Li Hai naturally saw this in his eyes.

But what he wanted was for Zhou Hu to be afraid, so that it would be easier to stop the bleeding later.

Why stop the bleeding?

Because, Li Hai wanted to dismember this heinous Zhou Hu...under the watchful eyes of thousands of Oxhorn Town residents.

"Let's begin."

Li Hai raised his chin towards the militiamen guarding on the side.

"Yes, Hero Li!"

The militiamen nodded excitedly, and then picked up a large bucket of cold acetic acid and poured it over Zhou Hu's head.

Whoosh—

After a bucket of cold vinegar was poured down, Zhou Hu, who was already weak and nervous, immediately contracted all over his body and his blood vessels closed.

And Li Hai followed closely, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes under the stage, he cut Zhou Hu's chest with a knife, shaving off a piece of skin and flesh, only half a palm-sized piece.

"Ugh, ah ~"

Zhou Hu's weak wail of pain immediately aroused countless people's joyful shouts and screams under the stage:

"Serves you right!"

"Good cut!"

"It's finally your turn, Zhou Hu, the heavens have eyes!"

"So scary, I dare not look."

"Bah, if you dare not look, go home!"

"My daughter was killed by him!"

"I want to feed his flesh to the dogs!"

"The biggest beast of the Zhou family! A living beast that eats people!"

"Woo woo woo, wife, if you have knowledge in the springs, you should rest in peace."

"Hero Li! We want to build a living shrine for you!"

"Hero Li, may you live a long life."

"Hero, please take my daughter as a servant!"

...

Swish swish swish—

Like peeling the skin off a roast duck, Li Hai's knife was like flying flowers, and in a short period of time, he shaved off dozens of pieces of skin and flesh from Zhou Hu under the watchful eyes of everyone, leaving his chest completely bare, revealing the pale ribs and the faintly visible heart, lungs, and internal organs under the bones.

During this time, every scream and wail of pain from Zhou Hu would elicit cheers from the people under the stage.

Even the pieces of flesh that fell off the stage caused rounds of people to snatch them up, as if it were the New Year.

But at this moment, Li Hai suddenly stopped the slow slicing.
