Chapter 5: Killing Intent

[Trigger Low Level Defeat and Humiliation]

[You obtained gray term - Insufficient Qi and Blood, obtained gray term - Life is Limited to Ten]

"Thank you, thank you, we will definitely repay you in a few days..."

They received a small bag of food, and the middle-aged couple repeatedly kowtowed in gratitude.

"It's alright, go back now, remember not to tell anyone about the food here."

"Yes, yes."

After seeing off the middle-aged couple, Li Yun sighed softly and closed the door.

By lending food to this couple, Li Yun didn't expect them to return it. In this icy and snowy place, and being at the bottom of Chunyang Town, there was no possibility of repayment.

Li Yun lent it to them, firstly to obtain the terms, and secondly, perhaps out of a trace of sympathy in his heart.

"Uncle, their family is very poor, they won't be able to repay the food," Xiao Rou whispered beside him.

Li Yun shook his head. "I know, let's just consider it an act of kindness."

After saying that, Li Yun went straight back to his room.

This couple contributed two terms to him, one was Insufficient Qi and Blood, and the other was Life is Limited to Ten.

[Life is Limited to Ten]: The body has reached its limit, and death is certain within ten days.

Li Yun obtained this term from the obese woman. Her obesity was obviously pathological, so Li Yun couldn't possibly use such a term and directly crushed it.

He lightly tapped the recommended synthesis on the interface and clicked in order.

(Green) [Dragon Spirit and Tiger Ferocity]: Missing main term, as strong as an ox.

(Green) [Extraordinary Root Bone]: Missing term, Strong Bone Structure x2.

(White) [Abundant Qi and Blood]: Requires three gray terms, Insufficient Qi and Blood term, can be synthesized.

Among the three synthesis options, only the white term Abundant Qi and Blood could be synthesized, while the other two green terms were missing the required terms.

Li Yun looked at it and clicked the synthesis without hesitation.

In an instant, the three gray Insufficient Qi and Blood terms hanging on the interface turned into a radiant Integrated Union. After a breath, a brand new white [Abundant Qi and Blood] appeared on the interface.

(White) [Abundant Qi and Blood]: Your Qi and blood are extremely abundant. At the ordinary person stage, you are already at the top. Even if you engage in activities seven times in one night, you only need two days of rest to recover.

The effect of the term acted on his body, and Li Yun immediately felt a warm sensation throughout his body.

It was like being roasted by a warm stove. Even though it was a snowy winter day, Li Yun's body was emitting heat, and his originally cold body now felt incredibly warm.

Insufficient Qi and Blood leads to pale and cold complexion, and the next step is Yang deficiency. In other words, those with severe Insufficient Qi and Blood can be called Yang deficient.

Those who are Yang deficient have a weak spirit, weak limbs, and fear the cold.

Li Yun had previously shown signs of weak spirit and fear of the cold. Now, after synthesizing the Abundant Qi and Blood term, he felt completely renewed from the inside out.

His pale and slightly yellow complexion became rosy, and his lifeless eyes gained a layer of radiance, shining brightly. Li Yun threw a punch and felt an endless surge of power within his body.

As a hunter in his previous life, he had been practicing archery since he was young, and it had been ten years now. He had the strength to draw a large bow, definitely stronger than an ordinary person.

However, in the past, due to Insufficient Qi and Blood, he couldn't exert his full strength. Even if he had the strength of ten levels, he could only unleash seven or eight levels of power. But now, with Abundant Qi and Blood, Li Yun felt an unprecedented level of comfort.

His body was no longer weak, and his spirit was no longer tired.

"Ah, comfortable!" Li Yun exhaled a breath of hot air, feeling extremely comfortable.

Late at night.

Li Yun personally cooked a small pot of rice and stir-fried the remaining cabbage. After eating and drinking his fill, he went to bed to rest.

Under the effect of Abundant Qi and Blood, Li Yun quickly fell asleep.

The next day, just as the sky was getting bright, Xiao Rou woke up under the gentle wake-up service and got out of bed. After getting dressed, she washed her face with melted snow, the icy water instantly waking her up.

Li Yun picked up his longbow and put on his quiver, energetically preparing to go out.

Xiao Rou anxiously looked at the heavy snow outside the window and stopped Li Yun with concern, "Uncle, it seems like the snow outside has gotten heavier. It might be difficult to catch any prey. How about taking a day off?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yun looked outside and indeed noticed that the snow was heavier than yesterday.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yun said, "Let's still go, what if we're lucky and encounter a snow eagle again? You wait for me at home."

"Alright, be careful."

"Mm."

Li Yun nodded and walked out of the door, entering the heavy snow.

Outside the door was a completely different world. It was all white, with only a few scattered dead trees breaking the monotony. The whole world was covered in white.

Li Yun lowered his hat to block the wind and snow that occasionally blew towards him. He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped and turned his head sharply, his gaze as sharp as an eagle's, looking at a withered tree to his right.

Without hesitation, Li Yun walked towards that withered tree.

As he got closer, Li Yun suddenly drew an arrow from his quiver and pulled back his longbow, shouting, "Come out!"

The shout startled the person behind the tree.

The person was frightened and quickly tried to escape.

However, Li Yun had already anticipated this. When the person had taken three steps, Li Yun squinted his eyes and released the tension on his longbow. The arrow shot out like a white light, accurately piercing through the person's thigh.

"Ah!" The person let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Li Yun pulled out a sharp knife from his waist and walked towards the person. The person had thin eyebrows and small eyes, with a large and protruding mouth. He had a small and skinny figure, resembling a rat, and was clutching his thigh while wailing.

Smack!

Li Yun kicked him hard in the face, causing him to become dizzy and stop wailing, completely stunned.

"Tell me, who are you and why were you lurking near my house?" Li Yun's expression was extremely cold.

Just as he had walked out of the house, Li Yun, who had the vigilance of a hunter from his previous life, immediately sensed that someone had their eyes on him.

Although he didn't know if it was just his imagination, Li Yun still cautiously investigated and unexpectedly found a person with rat-like features near his house.

"I... I..." The person stammered and couldn't say a word.

Li Yun took a deep breath, made up his mind, and forcefully stabbed his palm with the small knife. "This is your last chance. If you don't speak, I'll kill you!"

He leaned closer to the person's face, his eyes filled with malice. "Don't think I won't dare to do it. In this icy and snowy place, I can easily hide your body and no one will find it."

"Please spare me, please spare me!"

The person was terrified and quickly begged for mercy, trembling with fear and forgetting about the pain.

"Speak!"

"Yes, yes, it's Yang Biao!"

"Yang Biao and Wang Ge asked me to monitor you. Once you went out hunting, they wanted me to go into your house and take away the male child inside."

The weak man hurriedly explained.

Li Yun listened, his expression becoming increasingly grim. The anger in his heart was almost erupting. "Where is Yang Biao, and where is that Wang Ge? Tell me!"

"They're in town... Chunlai Lane, the third and tenth households. They should still be sleeping at this hour!"

"Please spare me, spare me, I'm just a worker!"

The weak man was scared to the point of tears.

Li Yun's gaze shifted, staring at him for a long time, until he cried completely, then he pondered for a moment and said, "Alright."
