Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

“I'll cripple you!!!”

Roaring in anger, he ignored the surrounding constables' dissuasions and directly drew his blade.

Although internal strife was forbidden within the county office, with his background—the Li family, one of the three great families of Qiulin County—he could completely smooth things over afterward.

Right now, he only wanted to cripple Shen Lin.

The opponent was unarmed, while he wielded a steel saber; the advantage was his!

With this thought in mind, he directly swung his blade at Shen Lin.

But the next moment, Shen Lin simply sidestepped and directly avoided his slash.

After that, no matter how Li Bailin swung his blade, Shen Lin could easily dodge it.

Although Li Bailin came from a wealthy family, he clearly hadn't received any advanced martial arts from his family, and was still using the Blood Battle Saber Technique.

As for the Blood Battle Saber Technique, Shen Lin was so familiar with it that he couldn't be more so.

Even with his eyes closed, he could dodge the opponent's attacks.

Moreover, in Shen Lin's eyes, the Blood Battle Saber Technique in the opponent's hands was full of flaws.

The next moment, Li Bailin swung his blade again.

But this time, Shen Lin didn't continue to dodge; instead, he took a step forward, his whole body lunging forward.

Barely avoiding the edge of the blade, he punched the opponent in the abdomen.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Li Bailin's whole body trembled, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously opened his mouth, spitting out acidic water.

Staggering backward a few steps, he fell to the ground, a look of pain on his face.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Shen Lin slowly straightened up, sneering.

"You..."

Li Bailin trembled as he raised his finger and pointed at Shen Lin, but just as he was about to say something, he suddenly seemed to see something, and his eyes slowly widened.

Although he had been knocked aside by Shen Lin, from this angle, he finally saw the side profile of the woman in the bath.

And after this one look, he was struck by lightning, stunned in place.

"Zijing... Miss Zijing???"

Hearing his murmur, the many constables who had been watching the show from the side immediately erupted.

"Miss Zijing? Miss Zijing???"

"Really?"

"Head Constable Li has been pursuing her for so many years without any result, but now... Tsk tsk, Master Shen is truly skilled!!!"

Hearing the constables' discussions, Li Bailin's face immediately turned liver-colored, and he instantly went crazy.

"I'll kill you!!!!!"

He was murderous, charging towards Shen Lin with a desperate look.

Just then, an angry roar came from the doorway.

"Stop it!!!"

Sun Zhi's face was slightly pale, and he had rushed over before his injuries had fully healed.

But Li Bailin seemed to not have heard his voice at all, and had no intention of stopping.

At this moment, only Shen Lin was in his bloodshot eyes.

But the outcome was obvious.

Shen Lin easily dodged the opponent's chaotic strikes and suddenly thrust a knee upwards.

With a muffled groan, Li Bailin's body went limp.

Even so, he still didn't give up, roaring "Kill you!" as he was about to get up again.

But at this moment, Sun Zhi suddenly appeared behind him, using the handle of his blade to knock him unconscious.

Looking somewhat helplessly at the unconscious Li Bailin, Sun Zhi handed him over to the constables and said in a deep voice, "This matter is a misunderstanding. I've seen that thief before; he's a man."

The constables hurriedly nodded, lifting Li Bailin and walking out.

......

"What's wrong with Head Constable Li?"

Looking at Li Bailin, who sat on the steps of the county office with a vacant gaze, muttering "Miss Zijing" incessantly, Chief Qian approached his confidant and asked.

The confidant suppressed a laugh and whispered, "Head Constable Li was investigating that thief... Saying he was investigating, but I heard he wanted to frame Master Shen. Unexpectedly, he saw Miss Zijing of the Myriad Sound Pavilion at Master Shen's house."

Hearing the word 'frame,' Chief Qian's heart first flared with anger, but before he could erupt, his attention was diverted by the latter sentence.

The Myriad Sound Pavilion was the most famous brothel in Qiulin County, with many female entertainers who only sold their art, not their bodies.

And this Miss Zijing was the best among them.

Skilled in Qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she had earned the name of Qiulin County's First Talented Woman.

Chief Qian knew that this Miss Zijing had countless followers, the most famous of whom was Li Bailin.

But...

Chief Qian asked in confusion, "He saw Miss Zijing. According to his personality, wouldn't he be so happy that he'd wag his tail? Why is he like this now..."

"It is said that Master Shen and Miss Zijing were naked, soaking together in a bath..."

Hearing this, Chief Qian couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

In Qiulin County, who didn't know that this Miss Zijing was high and mighty? In the Myriad Sound Pavilion for seven years, countless wealthy and powerful people had spent lavishly, wanting to marry her home.

But whether they were rich young masters like Li Bailin or the heads of those great families, none of them had won her heart.

Because of the Myriad Sound Pavilion's powerful backing, these people didn't dare to force a weak woman.

Now it seemed that this Qiulin County's First Talented Woman had long been quietly taken down by that fellow Shen Lin.

......

"I didn't expect that the recently famous Head Constable Sun was just your cover."

Miss Zijing put on her clothes, looking at the scene before her with a smile.

That Head Constable Sun, who was said to have broken through to the Vein Opening Realm, was now humbly pouring tea and serving water for Shen Lin.

Shen Lin said with a smile, "I also didn't expect that the courtesan of the Myriad Sound Pavilion, Qiulin County's First Talented Woman, Miss Zijing, would actually be a martial artist of the Vein Opening Realm, and also the thief who recently committed many major cases."

Although Sun Zhi had long suspected it, hearing this sentence from Shen Lin's mouth, his arm couldn't help but tremble, almost dropping the teapot on the ground.

This Miss Zijing was that thief???

Then who was the person who stole his Pulse Opening Pill?

While pondering, he suddenly saw the treasured sword placed beside Shen Lin.

At the same time, Shen Lin also looked over with a smile in his eyes.

In an instant, Sun Zhi seemed to understand something, feeling a burst of anger in his heart, almost pouring the scalding hot tea directly on Shen Lin's face.

But then, he remembered Shen Lin's cultivation and could only take a deep breath, helplessly lowering his head.

Zijing covered her mouth and smiled, just about to say something when she suddenly paused, murmuring, "If what is said outside is true, then you should only be twenty years old this year, right?"

"A twenty-year-old in the Vein Opening Realm..."

"And at least four meridians have been opened..."

The way she looked at Shen Lin became more and more strange.

The other party's talent, not to mention in this Qiulin County, could be considered rare even in the state city.

And Sun Zhi, who was bending over and holding the teapot to the side, was now shouting wildly in his heart.

Four meridians!!!

This Shen Lin had actually reached this step, already preparing to break through to the Acquired Realm.

With four meridians, one could completely try to break through.

But judging from his performance during this period, the other party seemed completely dissatisfied with this.

Martial artists only need to open three meridians in their bodies to try to break through to the Acquired Realm.

But doing so would not only reduce the probability of successfully breaking through, but also affect the subsequent cultivation path.

As far as Sun Zhi knew, those exceptionally talented geniuses in the state capital would each open at least five meridians before trying to break through to the Acquired Realm.

The Vein Opening Realm was a stage for martial artists to lay the foundation for their future cultivation path.

The more meridians opened, the stronger the combat power during the Acquired Realm, and the higher the future upper limit.

This Shen Lin's ambition was not small...

"Miss Zijing, is there anything else?"

Shen Lin didn't respond to Zijing's doubts, but instead issued an eviction order.

He didn't want to get involved with this woman in front of him.

After all, a martial artist of the Vein Opening Realm, hiding her identity in the Myriad Sound Pavilion, definitely wasn't doing it for fun.

Zijing then came back to her senses, looking at Shen Lin with a complicated expression, and said softly, "If that's the case, then this little girl will take her leave."

She stood up, her lotus steps swaying as she walked to the door. Before leaving, she suddenly turned her head, looking at Shen Lin and smiling softly, "We will meet again in the future."

Shen Lin didn't care about her words. After she left, he looked at Sun Zhi and said in a deep voice, "When will I be able to get my hands on this reward?"

After confirming his cultivation, Sun Zhi became even more respectful, and quickly said, "The county office has already arranged for someone to send it to the Demon Suppression Division in the state capital. It's just that I didn't dare to make a decision on my own regarding the reward to be exchanged without your instructions."

Then, Sun Zhi began to talk about the relevant knowledge of exchanging rewards from the Demon Suppression Division.

If they, these constables, killed demons, they could exchange their corpses for Demon Suppression Division contribution points after sending them to the Demon Suppression Division.

Demon Suppression Division contribution points could not only be directly exchanged for money, but also for many rare treasures, cultivation methods, and martial arts from the Demon Suppression Division.

These things were generally not open to the public, and could only be exchanged for with Demon Suppression Division contribution points.

Moreover, these exchanged cultivation methods and secret books could not be spread, because people from the Demon Suppression Division would tamper with them. Once the cultivation method was leaked, they would explode and die.

This was also the reason why Shen Lin didn't ask Sun Zhi about cultivation secrets before.

Fortunately, they, these constables, were wearing this skin, and could be considered people of the imperial court to be able to exchange for contribution points.

Those demon hunters and sect disciples in the pugilistic world could only exchange for money from the Demon Suppression Division.

Sun Zhi estimated that the demons killed by Shen Lin should be able to exchange for nearly thirteen contribution points.

Don't think it was too little. Sun Zhi had sacrificed countless colleagues in the past two years, killing so many demons, and had only exchanged for a total of seven contribution points.

Then, Sun Zhi took out a small booklet from his arms and handed it to Shen Lin.

"This is a list I got from the Demon Suppression Division before. You can take a look."

Shen Lin took it and opened it, immediately seeing the image of a medicinal pill.

[Meridian Opening Pill: Provides potent medicinal power to assist martial artists in opening their meridians. Requires 5 contribution points to exchange.]

Tsk tsk, five contribution points.

Shen Lin couldn't help but click his tongue.

Since transmigrating, he had already killed eight demonic creatures, but he didn't expect that he could only exchange them for two Meridian Opening Pills.

Just now, that amethyst girl directly gave him two Meridian Opening Pills in order to escape...

A sugar mama, indeed.
