Blood Sucking Demonic Art Remnant

Half an hour later,

Bai Ze returned to the county office covered in blood. The moment everyone around saw him, they immediately crowded around him, asking questions all at once.

"Brother Bai, how did it go? Did you deal with that thief?"

"Yeah, we can't let him go! What are we supposed to do if this keeps up?"

"Do you know what his purpose was?"

"How is it now? Say something!"

Seeing this, Bai Ze's face instantly turned cold. He said in a deep voice, "Move."

"Th-this..."

"No, I just want to know whether that person is dead or not."

"We've all been waiting here, after all. We just want an answer."

Clearly, they truly could not endure it any longer, constantly fretting day and night.

But when Bai Ze saw that they remained unmoved and still looked at him expectantly, he struck without hesitation.

He grabbed the neck of the person in front of him and snapped it without the slightest hesitation, then tossed the body aside.

"Scram."

The crowd hurriedly retreated several steps at the sight. They had never expected him to suddenly kill someone.

After Bai Ze swept his cold gaze over them, he walked straight inside. Those ahead of him hurriedly made way.

Who did they think they were? What right did they have to demand an explanation from Bai Ze?

After receiving the news, the county magistrate hurried out as well. Seeing Bai Ze covered in blood, he asked, "Brother Bai, how are you? Quickly, have a physician come take a look."

"No need."

Bai Ze waved his hand and said, "They are only minor injuries. Nothing serious."

"That's good, that's good. Then..."

"Don't worry. I've already killed that person. His corpse is in the back mountain. Just send someone over to inspect it."

"Really? Thank you so much, Brother Bai!"

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's worried heart finally settled. He repeatedly thanked Bai Ze with excitement in his voice.

If Bai Ze had not been here this time, he likely would not have been able to keep his position as county magistrate.

But now that the matter had been completely resolved, there would be no more problems.

The county magistrate had someone inform the others of the result while also sending someone to bring out a chest.

Smiling, he said, "Brother Bai, there are one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver here. Please accept them."

"After all, if you had not taken action this time, we truly would not have known what to do."

"You must accept this. It is merely a small token of our appreciation."

"Mm."

Bai Ze nodded and did not refuse. This was what he deserved.

Although it was fifty thousand taels more than they had agreed upon before, was that not only proper?

After all, they had not only dealt with that thief, but had also suffered two deaths and one injury in the battle. This was compensation.

Amid the county magistrate's repeated thanks, Bai Ze did not linger. He took the silver and returned to the Li Family's business residence.

After calling over the shopkeeper, he said directly, "The matter has been resolved. There are eighty thousand taels of silver here. Take them."

"Give thirty thousand taels each to the families of the martial artists who died this time, and twenty thousand taels to the injured one."

"Yes."

The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded at those words, not daring to voice the slightest objection.

Still, he could not help sighing inwardly. In just a few days, of the four Blood Changing Realm martial artists, three had died and one had been severely injured.

But there was nothing to be done. He could only report the truth to the Li Family.

As for how they would arrange things afterward, that was not something a mere shopkeeper like him could decide.

After the other party left, Bai Ze entered the room and tightly shut the door.

He took three secret manuals from his clothes. These were what he had obtained from that old man.

One of them was the Blood Demon Palm the other party had used before. The remaining two were Shadow Step and the remnant of the Blood Sucking Demonic Art.

Bai Ze had already witnessed the Blood Demon Palm before. It was extremely powerful and could be considered a low-grade Xiantian Martial Skill.

After reading Shadow Step, he discovered that it was actually a mid-grade Xiantian Martial Skill, which he had not expected.

That old man had likely only just reached the beginner stage with it, yet he could already come and go freely in the night.

Not only was it incredibly fast, but it could also conceal its user within the darkness while moving.

That was why the other party had chosen to act at night, hunting in silence.

Still, it was a Xiantian Martial Skill, and its speed far surpassed the Thunder Leg Technique.

If that person had not been severely injured at the time, he might truly have escaped with this technique.

But now, it all belonged to Bai Ze. He could gradually use it to raise his own strength in the shortest possible time.

Bai Ze picked up the final manual. After examining it, shock appeared in his eyes, and he nearly cried out.

He said in astonishment, "How is this possible? How could such a cultivation method appear in a tiny place like Blackwater County?"

"Even in Pingfeng City, it would be absolutely impossible for such a cultivation method to exist."

"Though it is only a remnant, it is at least a cultivation method above the Innate Realm."

After all, Xiantian Martial Skills and cultivation methods were extremely precious in Pingfeng City. There was not even a single one above the Innate Realm.

Yet who could have imagined that one would appear in a tiny Blackwater County?

Moreover, the contents of this cultivation method were unheard of and unseen before.

No wonder that old man's Blood Changing Degree had been so high, and no wonder he had targeted Blood Changing Realm martial artists. Bai Ze now understood everything completely.

Bai Ze did not dare hesitate in the slightest and quickly memorized this incomplete Blood Sucking Demonic Art.

An entire day passed.

Clearly, Bai Ze had not left his room. Relying directly on his own talent, he cultivated it to the beginner stage.

A sharp aura radiated from his entire body, and the temperature in the room seemed to grow somewhat chilly.

Under the support of his immense qi and blood, the two seemed to fuse together.

When Bai Ze opened his eyes, a flash of red light passed through them before they returned to normal.

At a thought, a translucent interface appeared before him.

[Martial God System]

[Host: Bai Ze]

[Age: 17/73]

[Talent: One in a Hundred (500/1000)]

[Realm: Blood Changing Realm (61%)]

[Talent Points: 53,]

After seeing that it had reached the beginner stage, Bai Ze took out the Blood Sucking Demonic Art once more, shattered it with a palm strike, and tossed it into the brazier.

This cultivation method absolutely could not be discovered by anyone else. Otherwise, blood would flow like a river.

Not only would Innate Realm martial artists fight over it, but even those above the Innate Realm would be highly likely to make a move.

Even if the remnant was of no use to them, it could still endlessly cultivate more talented juniors.
