Yin Kuisheng is Truly a Good Person

Lin Baichuan tracked Yin Kuisheng out of town and straight into the Qili Slope mountain range. Seeing this, Lin Baichuan's heart was filled with anxiety. The Qili Slope was full of poisonous miasma, and as soon as he entered, he felt his breathing become difficult.

If he continued further, he feared he would die before he could even kill Yin Kuisheng.

"No, I can't go any further."

Lin Baichuan gritted his teeth, mustered his strength, and with a sudden leap, kicked off a corner of a large rock about ten feet in front of him.

Whoosh whoosh... bang...

The rock shot towards Yin Kuisheng like an arrow loosed from a bowstring. It was so fast that it even created a low sonic boom, reaching Yin Kuisheng's back in an instant, aiming to pierce his body.

Roar...

Just then, Yin Kuisheng let out a low growl. His massive body twisted unnaturally, managing to evade the rapidly flying rock. Then, with a powerful pounce, like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, he charged straight at Lin Baichuan.

"You little brat, you've been following me since outside the inn, and you still dare to enter Qili Slope? You have some nerve..."

Yin Kuisheng roared angrily. His enormous, scale-covered body emitted a terrifying stench of blood and decay, making Lin Baichuan feel nauseous.

Seeing Yin Kuisheng's body instantly fill his pupils, Lin Baichuan didn't hesitate. He unsheathed the battle saber on his back and slashed down.

The perfected Seven Kill Saber Art erupted, the saber light flashing, exuding a menacing aura.

The Seven Kill Saber Art advocated for a single principle: kill. Go forth without retreat, charge bravely.

Clang... clang...

The battle saber vibrated as it struck Yin Kuisheng's body, producing a sound like metal clashing against metal, sparks flying everywhere.

An astonishing impact surged through him, sending Lin Baichuan flying back four or five yards.

Lin Baichuan wasn't the least bit panicked. In fact, a hint of excitement flickered in his eyes. He even smiled as he looked at the ferocious and menacing Yin Kuisheng.

Holding his battle saber horizontally in front of him, he sneered, "So you really are at the end of your rope. It seems my gamble paid off."

With that, he whirled his battle saber, his entire body seeming to transform into a whirlwind, charging directly at Yin Kuisheng. The saber light swished, with only the light visible, not the person. In an instant, he was before Yin Kuisheng. The saber light flashed, the perfected Seven Kill Saber Art unleashed in full, striking Yin Kuisheng one after another.

Yin Kuisheng's strength was originally superior to Lin Baichuan's. If he were at his peak, he could have killed Lin Baichuan with a single palm strike.

But now, heavily injured, his strength was less than a tenth of what it was. Not only had his attack power drastically decreased, but his reaction time and speed had also plummeted. Facing Lin Baichuan's continuous, storm-like barrage of the Seven Kill Saber Art, he gradually began to falter.

He was instantly struck more than ten times, while Lin Baichuan skillfully dodged his attacks.

Although he was protected by scales, and Lin Baichuan's battle saber seemed unable to break his defenses, it wasn't entirely true. Lin Baichuan's physical strength had reached an astonishing eight thousand jin. Combined with the perfected Seven Kill Saber Art, each strike carried at least tens of thousands of jin of impact force. While it couldn't break Yin Kuisheng's scales, it could injure his internal organs.

After more than a dozen consecutive strikes, Yin Kuisheng's already unstable aura became even weaker.

Pfft...

Finally, after enduring Lin Baichuan's twentieth strike, Yin Kuisheng's internal organs were directly shattered. He spat out a mouthful of blood, emitting a disgusting stench, and his massive body was sent flying backward.

"Damn it, damn it..."

Yin Kuisheng roared with a contorted face, "If I weren't heavily injured, how could I be bullied by you, you little bastard."

"Curse all you want! If a few curses make your death more comfortable, I don't mind,"

Lin Baichuan snorted coldly, a sneer on his face, but a fierce glint in his eyes. He leveled his battle saber and let out a low roar, "Seven Kill Saber Art: Yaoguang Life and Death."

Clang clang!

At this moment, Lin Baichuan seemed to become one with his saber, unleashing a streak of saber light like a flowing ribbon, which fiercely cleaved into Yin Kuisheng.

Instantly, with a bang that shook the air, Yin Kuisheng's massive body was sent flying backward, exploding in mid-air with a boom, tearing apart into pieces, blood splattering everywhere.

Hoo...

Lin Baichuan landed from the air, collapsing onto the ground as if his strength had been drained, gasping for breath, sweat pouring down like rain.

This battle, though seemingly short, was extremely perilous. Especially the last saber strike, which consumed all his energy and spirit. It was an all-or-nothing gamble; if Yin Kuisheng had managed to block it, he himself might have died.

Fortunately, his gamble paid off.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 300 Merit.]

Suddenly, the system's mechanical prompt echoed in his mind.

Lin Baichuan was stunned at first, then ecstatic, trembling with excitement. He immediately opened the system's attribute panel to check.

[Name: Lin Baichuan] [Identity: Demon Suppression Division Junior Demon Slayer] [Cultivation: Ninth Rank] [Cultivation Technique: Golden Bell Shield (Level 4, 17%+)] [Martial Skill: Seven Kill Saber Art (Perfected, 41%+)] [Merit: 300] ...

His gaze swept over the Merit section, and seeing the number 300, Lin Baichuan grinned broadly.

"300, it's actually 300 Merit. Damn... I hit the jackpot this time."

Lin Baichuan grew more excited the more he thought about it. Indeed, fortune favors the bold. 300 Merit was enough for him to advance the Seven Kill Saber Art beyond perfection, and to raise the Golden Bell Shield by several levels. Even without Earth Spirit Milk, it would be enough for his physical strength to break through its limits.

"Right, the Earth Spirit Milk!"

Lin Baichuan immediately reacted, his gaze falling upon Yin Kuisheng's dismembered corpse not far away. He wanted to loot the body, as the Earth Spirit Milk was surely on Yin Kuisheng. This was a heavenly treasure that made countless people's eyes turn red with envy!

However, he was willing but unable at the moment. His exhaustion was too great, and he felt utterly drained.

After a full cup of tea's worth of time, he finally recovered some strength. He then immediately rushed towards Yin Kuisheng's corpse, disregarding the unpleasantness, and began frantically searching the dismembered body.

The result? Not only was there no Earth Spirit Milk, but not even a single hair.

"Nothing? That's impossible!"

Lin Baichuan's expression instantly turned as dark as water, his brows furrowed into a knot. He muttered to himself, "Could it be that this guy didn't have the Earth Spirit Milk on him?"

As he spoke, Lin Baichuan's face grew even more unsightly. If that were truly the case, he'd be in a truly miserable situation.

"Huh..."

Suddenly, just as Lin Baichuan was feeling dejected, his gaze swept over and landed on an ancient-looking ring on Yin Kuisheng's index finger. His pupils constricted sharply, and a sharp glint immediately flashed in his eyes.

"This ring..."

Almost instinctively, Lin Baichuan immediately pulled the ring off and held it in his hand, examining it carefully. The ring was ancient and clearly had some age to it. While it looked ordinary on the surface, it exuded a sense of weathered profundity. Lin Baichuan was certain this ring was definitely not simple.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Baichuan waved his Battle Saber, directly cutting open his own palm. Blood flowed instantly, dyeing the ring a deep crimson.

However, in just an instant, the crimson blood was absorbed by the ring.

The next moment, the ring seemed to establish a connection with Lin Baichuan. Simultaneously, an extra-spacial dimension, roughly ten cubic meters in size, appeared in his mind.

"It really is a Space Ring. Yin Kuisheng, you truly are a good person!"

Lin Baichuan was overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
