Bones and Muscles Resonating, Reborn!

Dealing with humans is such a pain.

Really, why all the roundabout ways?

In the Toad Demon's eyes, the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, that was the true path.

Kill when you want, sleep when you want, roam freely – that's true freedom!

"I hope he just dies quietly like that, without causing any more trouble."

The masked man said with a sigh.

"Don't you forget about my virgin boys and girls, or I can't guarantee I won't blurt something out."

"What do you humans call this again?"

"Oh, right, hush money!"

"Heh heh heh."

The Toad Demon chuckled, looking at the masked man, his tone laced with heavy threat.

"This time you did a half-assed job, I'll give you one girl at most."

"If you're not satisfied, say whatever you want. I'd like to see if they believe you, a demon, or me!"

The masked man said in a deep voice.

"Deal."

"Same place tomorrow night, we'll meet again."

The Toad Demon waved at the masked man, then swaggered away.

Pfft!

But he hadn't gone more than a few steps when a sharp blade pierced through his back, right through his heart!

"You... you dare kill me?"

"Aren't you afraid of the Mountain Lord's wrath?"

The Toad Demon turned his head with difficulty, looking at the masked man, asking in disbelief.

They had cooperated many times, and he never expected the masked man to attack him.

"If you don't talk, and I don't talk, who will know you were killed by me?"

"You know too much. Even the Mountain Lord doesn't know as many of my secrets as you do, so I can't let you live!"

"Besides, your stinking mouth is disgusting, I've wanted to kill you for a long time!"

"Pfft!"

The masked man pulled the long blade from the Toad Demon's body, then swung it again, a terrifying blade light tearing through the air, directly severing the Toad Demon's head.

After the Toad Demon died, the masked man poured some white powder on its wounds, and soon it turned into a puddle of blood.

Destruction of evidence, clean and efficient!

Ping An County.

Brocade Guard Precinct.

Chen Fan's residence.

Ping An County was just a remote county on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and many Brocade Guards stationed here would never leave in their lives, so many bought property locally, married and had children. Therefore, the dormitories in this Brocade Guard Precinct were quite ample.

Otherwise, it would be a bit of a luxury for an ordinary Brocade Guard member like Chen Fan to live in a single room.

[Name: Chen Fan]
[Realm: Divine Treasury Realm (Fourth Stage: Blood Martial Saint)]
[Techniques: Body Tempering Fist(Perfected) Blade Draw Slash(Proficient)]
[Current Remaining Lifespan: Fifty Years]
[Current Demon Lifespan: None]

Chen Fan looked at his attribute panel, his own lifespan had become fifty years.

Although he had completely eliminated the demon poison and Yin energy from his body, and his strength had greatly improved, he had still lost a large chunk of his lifespan.

A peak Divine Treasury Realm martial artist had a lifespan of about one hundred and twenty years, but few could live to that age.

Logically speaking, he had already broken through to the fourth stage of the Divine Treasury Realm, and his lifespan should be around one hundred and eighty years, but it was only fifty years.

This showed how terrifying the Yin poison was. This ordeal had cost him thirty to fifty years of his life!

Although he still had fifty years of lifespan left, which wasn't too little, the feeling of watching his lifespan decrease bit by bit was not pleasant.

The only way forward was to constantly improve his strength, so that his lifespan could continue to increase.

If he could break through the Divine Treasury Realm and enter the next realm, then his lifespan would continue to grow!

"The demon lifespan is bottoming out, I can't really use my own life to cultivate."

"So, next up is still slaying demons and monsters, cashing in on their lives to pave my martial path!"

Chen Fan thought to himself.

The demons and monsters: Listen, I want to thank you...

"Brother Chen Fan?"

Wang Chao's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Chief Wang, coming!"

Chen Fan took three steps in two. Although his strength now surpassed Wang Chao's, he was still very grateful and respectful to Wang Chao, his life-saver.

He opened the door and saw Wang Chao standing outside with some food in his hands.

"Brother Chen Fan, you..."

Wang Chao looked at Chen Fan, hesitating to speak.

He felt that Chen Fan had become much stronger. His face was no longer pale, but ruddy, and his breathing was long and steady. He didn't look like someone who was about to die.

He wanted to ask Chen Fan if he was better, but then he rejected the idea, thinking that this should be Chen Fan's final burst of energy before death.

After tonight, another brother he spent day and night with would leave him!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Chief Wang, I'm all better!"

"The demon poison and Yin energy have been expelled from my body!"

"After killing that Boar Demon, I felt like I had no regrets."

"After you left, I practiced the Body Tempering Fist in the house over and over again. As I practiced, my Body Tempering Fist broke through to the Great Mastery level. Then I felt itchy all over, and my bones were cracking."

"Then the Blood Essence throughout my body was also stirred up, and streams of dirty blood and black-red energy flowed out of my wounds. I immediately felt comfortable all over."

The attribute panel was too shocking, but for someone like him who was destined to die to suddenly recover, there had to be a reasonable explanation. Therefore, Chen Fan had already thought of what to say.

"Bones and tendons resonate, a complete transformation!"

"It is rumored that some talented people may encounter this situation when entering the second stage of the Divine Treasury Realm, washing away impurities and returning to simplicity."

"Brother Chen Fan, I didn't expect you to be a martial arts genius, one in a million?"

"You spent a year cultivating both the Body Tempering Fist and the Blade Draw Slash to the Minor Accomplishment stage. I should have known you were a martial arts genius."

"Now you have used the transformation of rebirth to remove the demon poison and Yin energy from your body in one fell swoop. It really can be considered a blessing in disguise!"

"That's great!"

"This is really great!"

Wang Chao reached out and placed his hand on Chen Fan's wrist, feeling his pulse beating. He felt as if a small dragon was leaping in his muscles and flesh, and the previous faint pulse had completely disappeared.

He knew that Chen Fan was not lying to him. Chen Fan had really entered the second stage of the Divine Treasury Realm and completed his self-rescue!

"A blessing in disguise, my ass!"

"That damn demon poison and Yin energy have cost me at least thirty to fifty years of my life!"

"But fortunately, I still have fifty years to live. Compared to only being able to live for three days or twelve hours before, that's much better."

Chen Fan muttered in his heart.

Although he felt the pain of losing those thirty to fifty years of life in vain, it was much better than before he transmigrated.

So, one should be content!

"All of this is thanks to Chief Wang's efforts. If Chief Wang hadn't persuaded Chief Zhang to bring the Boar Demon to the Brocade Guard Precinct's training ground to be killed by me personally, fulfilling my regret, I wouldn't have been able to be reborn from death!"

Chen Fan cupped his fist and bowed deeply, speaking sincerely.

"These are all the results of your own efforts. How much could killing the Boar Demon have to do with it?"

"Come, come, come, you must be starving. I brought braised beef, roast chicken, braised pork, sesame cakes..."

"Because I knew you were injured, I didn't bring any wine, but you're recovering from a serious illness, so you really shouldn't drink alcohol. Eat more meat and nourish your body."

Wang Chao helped Chen Fan up and placed the food he brought on the table in Chen Fan's room.

"Thank you, Chief Wang!"

"Chief Wang, sit down and eat together!"

Chen Fan said.

The two ate and chatted. Seeing Chen Fan eating heartily, not looking like he was seriously injured and dying at all, Wang Chao finally confirmed that he was not experiencing a final burst of energy before death, but that he had really suppressed or eliminated the Yin poison from his body due to the breakthrough in his martial arts realm.

Regaining a brother who was lost is truly a great joy in life!

Compared to this, being reprimanded by Standard Bearer Zhao along with Zhang Meng, and having their salaries docked for three months was too insignificant.
