I have a knife, I can kill monsters when I take it out of its sheath

Chapter 4 Killing the demon in the wilderness

In the deserted mountain temple, the mountain god was beheaded.

The cold moonlight shone through the broken roof of the wild temple, making the already dilapidated wilderness temple even more eerie and strange.

There was a fire next to the statue. Beside the fire sat a young man with his eyes closed. A knife wrapped in strips of cloth lay across the young man's legs.

Under his butt sits the severed head of a mountain god.

There were several government officials next to the young man, sitting close to each other around the fire. They were both in awe and fear of the young man.

This young man is Ji Chen.

At this time, it had been more than a month since he came out of Jijiacun, and he had temporarily settled down in Fenglin Town. He planned to stay in Fenglin Town for a while and wait until his strength improved before continuing south.

Otherwise, with his current strength, let alone going to the Imperial Capital, he would probably die on the way out of Maplewood Town. After all, this is a world where gods and evil coexist, black and white.

Although Fenglin Town is called a town, it is the size of a county. There is a county magistrate stationed there and some soldiers stationed there.

The reason why Ji Chen appears here at this moment is all because of a demon-slaying notice from the county magistrate.

There is a monster here that attacks livestock at night and sucks human blood. It has attacked several villages.

There is no demon-suppressing department in Fenglin Town, so the county magistrate has no choice but to issue a reward post offering two thousand taels of silver to invite demon-slayers from the borderlands to slay demons.

Ji Chen took this job, firstly, he could make money, and secondly, he could also accumulate killing points.

Of course, the main reason is that he wants to get the demon pill.

The medicinal value of demon elixir is extremely high.

Cultivation, the most important resource, in this barren land, demon pill is the only resource.

Want to ask him if he is afraid?

Of course I'm afraid!

So what.

Once you fall into the rivers and lakes, you are a life-threatening person.

From the moment he picked up the knife, he was destined to risk his life.

There are many demon slayers in Bianhuang, but he is just a newcomer among them and is unknown.

Several government officials saw that Ji Chen seemed to be practicing and did not dare to disturb him. Whether they can survive tonight depends entirely on this man.

If the magistrate hadn't pressed hard, they wouldn't have chosen to accompany the scholar to slay the demon this late at night.

Firstly, it was to be a witness, and secondly, they also had the idea of giving it a try. Once the demon was successfully slain and Ji Chen got a big share of the bounty, they could also drink the soup and get at least dozens of taels.

For them, whose monthly salary is only three taels of silver, it is already a huge sum of money.

Ji Chen looked like he was sitting there, but he was actually working on the Dragon Subduing Mental Technique.

He wanted to try the speed of practicing the Dragon Subduing Heart Technique by instinct without relying on killing points.

The conditions for improving this skill are too harsh, and the killing points required are simply terrifying.

The blood energy in his body was as strong as a furnace, and a true dragon's blood energy surged and roared in his body.

After a long time, Ji Chen opened his eyes. According to his calculations, it would take at least five years to break through to the next level through his own efforts.

He sighed slightly, it's not that I don't want to work hard, it's just that the conditions don't allow it.

With a slight flick of his eyes, Ji Chen saw his attributes.

Lifespan: 80

Realm: Foundation Building

Kung Fu: Dragon Subduing Heart Technique-Second Level

Sword Technique: Cloaked Sword Technique-Dacheng

Kills: 63

Reputation: 41

In this month, he cleaned up the large and small bandits outside Maple Forest Town. After crazy killings, he killed many low-level monsters. He finally accumulated 3,000 killing points and raised the Dragon Subduing Mind Technique to the second level. .

You read that right, three thousand killing points.

The conditions for improving the first level of the Dragon Subduing Heart Technique are one thousand killing points, and two thousand for the second level.

It's terrifying.

His body has also been built twice, like steel poured into iron, and his energy and blood are like a dragon.

Foundation building, the first stage of cultivation, awakening the body's blood and condensing the body, is the most important stage in cultivation.

After nine times of foundation building, the mortal body can be shed and the innate body can be achieved.

Therefore, this state is also called transformation.

Ji Chen didn't know what level of skill this Dragon Subduing Heart Technique was, but the ultimate goal of this skill was to condense the bloodline, build the body of a true dragon, and rival a true dragon with a mortal body.

So he felt that this technique should not be simple.

The cauldron on the fire was steaming. The meat inside was already rotten and the aroma was overflowing.

The temple door was held up by a stick, blocking most of the cold wind, but there was still a bit of cold wind penetrating through the cracks in the ruins, blowing the flames here and there.

"Congratulations to the scholar for your great improvement in cultivation."

When the yamen officer, Team Leader Zhao, saw Ji Chen wake up, the first thing he did was flatter him.

No matter how hard he tries to flatter him, his life and fortune are all on Ji Chen tonight. There is nothing wrong with trying to please someone.

Several other government officials also expressed their congratulations.

Ji Chen nodded.

The wind became stronger and stronger, and it seemed like it was going to snow. Ji Chen drank a bowl of broth and some strong wine, then leaned against the shrine and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

Several government officials did not dare to disturb her, let alone sleep. They were always vigilant in case monsters appeared around them at any moment.

After about half a stick of incense, Ji Chen, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

It's coming!

The monster appeared.

Ji Chen sensed a hint of danger, his body felt a little cold and his hair stood on end. So he stood up and immediately grasped the handle of the broken saber.

Pojun was the name he gave this knife.

After practicing the Dragon Subduing Heart Technique, Ji Chen's perception became much sharper. With this sharpness, he escaped several strange attacks.

It was precisely because of this that he dared to take on this demon-slaying mission.

It was eerily quiet in the temple, with no chirping of insects or birds.

Several government officials also stood up quickly, pulled out their single swords in unison, and leaned against each other, nervously on guard.

Ji Chen grabbed the hilt of the knife and used the Dragon Subduing Heart Technique, condensing all the power in his body, and the blood boiled in his body.

In this mysterious, black and white world, you have to go all out in every battle, because you don't know whether the enemy you face is a human or a mysterious god.

Ji Chen glanced at the mountain god next to him. He wanted to say to the mountain god to bless him, but when he thought about how he used human heads as cushions before, he probably wouldn't bless himself.

The cold wind poured in through the cracks in the wooden door, whistling non-stop.

Ji Chen could feel that the monster was outside the door, and his momentum was slowly gathering.

Po Jun Dao seemed to have sensed Ji Chen's murderous intent. His sharp edge was restrained, dormant like an assassin, just waiting for the moment when Po Jun killed a thousand people.

The cold wind, heartbeat, breathing, and murderous intent disturbed Ji Chen's perception.

Ji Chen's momentum gradually increased, and so did the monsters outside. When the momentum of both parties reached an extreme, Ji Chen moved.

The sword struck out with all its strength based on feeling, splitting open the wooden temple door in an instant and plowing into the dark night outside.

The blade was lonely and cold, and the cold wind seemed to be split by this blade.

In the dark night, there seemed to be the sound of brocade being cut.

Hit!

Ji Chen felt happy.

Two pieces of white brocade fell from the air.

Ji Chen's expression suddenly changed.

be cheated.

"What a beast!"

This is the brocade left intentionally by the monster. It exudes a strong aura and attracts me.

At this time, the roof exploded, and a red figure fell along with the rubble.

It was a monster covered with red hair and very fast.

Ji Chen's color changed again, there was more than one monster, and the brocade outside the door was another weird one.
