What is most important in life?
It's timing!
Although the three Huang Xiaotian brothers were demons, they didn't like eating humans raw like others.
Perhaps because they were raised by a human chef since childhood, Huang Xiaotian was very particular about eating.
After waiting for a while and finding no news from his third brother, Huang Xiaotian knew that the person behind Sun Zhi probably wouldn't be coming.
So, he took off his shirt and started to get busy.
The executioner's blade used by the government for beheadings turned into a cleaver in his hands. He swung it, creating afterimages, and sliced the side dishes one by one, arranging them to the side.
His second brother, with a serious expression, tended the fire, controlling the heat.
Then, after the water in the bronze cauldron boiled, Huang Xiaotian pushed off the side dishes stuck to the executioner's blade and turned to say, "Alright, bring that guy over."
The second brother nodded, walked back into the house, and easily lifted Sun Zhi up.
With a bang, Sun Zhi's head hit the chopping board, startling him awake.
He instinctively tried to get up but let out a muffled groan and gritted his teeth.
Intense pain shot from his back and severed arm, making his vision blur.
Just then, he felt a pair of large hands reach over and gently squeeze, dislocating his joints.
"Ah!!!"
The renewed, intense pain made him cry out involuntarily.
But this time, he bit his tongue hard, enduring it and refusing to pass out.
Because he saw the terrifying executioner's blade beside him and the giant cauldron glowing red not far away.
If he fainted again, he'd probably wake up with a bowl of Mendicant's Brew in front of him.
Huang Xiaotian glanced at him with some surprise and chuckled, "Yo, Captain Sun, your willpower really is extraordinary. Usually, when we do this to other ingredients, they pass out completely."
"Third Boss! I can tell you anything you want to know. If you let me go, I can be of assistance at the County Yamen in the future, can't I?"
Sun Zhi was highly focused at the moment, enduring the pain and trying to persuade Huang Xiaotian.
"Hmm..." Huang Xiaotian scratched his chin, seemingly considering it.
Seeing this, Sun Zhi quickly said, "If you stew and eat me, it's just one meal. But if we continue to cooperate, you'll definitely get plenty of Blood Food. I've actually been keeping an eye out for those virgin boys and girls you mentioned."
"Moreover, if the County Yamen makes any moves against Black Wind Stronghold in the future, I can relay the news to you immediately."
Sun Zhi finished speaking in one breath, staring intently at Huang Xiaotian, thinking about what else he could say to save his life.
Huang Xiaotian's lips curved slightly, and he said with interest, "What you said does have some merit. Then, tell me about the person behind you first."
Sun Zhi's heart instantly relaxed, and he immediately started talking as quickly as possible.
"His name is Shen Lin. He was just a yamen runner under me, but that was just a disguise. His true cultivation..."
Facing the crisis of becoming food, Sun Zhi didn't hesitate at all, spilling everything about Shen Lin like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
"At least Meridian Opening sixth level..."
Huang Xiaotian wore a strange smile and looked down at the expectant Sun Zhi, saying, "Do you know, after humans tell their inner secrets, they become very calm? The flow of their vital energy and blood slows down, their tense muscles relax. In this state, the meat becomes more delicious..."
Sun Zhi stared blankly as Huang Xiaotian picked up the executioner's blade, his voice hoarse as he asked, "You won't spare my life?"
Huang Xiaotian held the executioner's blade and gestured around Sun Zhi, saying, "I'll spare a part of your body. After all, some parts have tender meat, and eating them raw tastes better."
Hearing this, Sun Zhi's eyes lost their luster, and despair filled his heart.
"Don't move, my knife is very fast. As long as you don't move... Who???"
Just as Huang Xiaotian was about to start cutting Sun Zhi, he suddenly frowned and turned around, shouting sternly towards the doorway.
The next moment, a figure in night-traveling clothes slowly walked into the courtyard, greeting them with a chuckle.
"Yo, it seems my timing for this visit is a bit off. Cooking something?"
Huang Xiaotian first signaled his eager second brother to calm down, then looked at the newcomer and said with a smile, "Strong vital energy, restrained... It seems you are that Shen Lin?"
Shen Lin removed his face covering and complained, "I knew this guy was a coward, but to spill everything with just a little scare like this is truly disappointing. I'll have to discipline him properly when we get back."
Sun Zhi stared blankly at Shen Lin, who had finally appeared, and cried out in his heart, "You call this a little scare??? They were about to boil me alive!!!"
But clearly, no one present cared about his reaction.
Huang Xiaotian sneered, "Get back? What do you think this place is, somewhere you can come and go as you please?"
"What place?" Shen Lin looked around with some confusion. "Isn't this just an ordinary courtyard? Why do you make it sound like a dragon's lair or a tiger's den?"
"Arrogant brat!"
Huang Xiaotian hadn't even reacted, but his second brother couldn't stand it anymore and was about to rush over to tear Shen Lin to shreds.
"Second Brother!!!"
But before he could make a move, Huang Xiaotian suddenly stopped him with a shout, as if he had just thought of something.
Then, he looked at Shen Lin, his expression gradually turning grim, and asked, "Where is my third brother? With him outside, you couldn't have appeared here like this."
"Your third brother?"
Shen Lin paused for a moment and replied, "Why don't you ask him yourself?"
Clang!
Without any warning, Shen Lin drew the Precious Sword in his hand and shouted at it, "Hey, your eldest brother is asking what's wrong with you? What? You can't reply? Because your brain has been pureed into mush by this sword???"
"You deserve to die!!! Roar!!!"
The two Dog Demons erupted instantly.
Huang Xiaotian's body was instantly covered in yellow fur, he grew taller by a section, his flabby flesh quivered, but his speed was astonishing as he lunged forward.
His massive body was like a mountain of flesh, and the Executioner's Blade he used for chopping vegetables and meat whistled as it slashed down fiercely towards Shen Lin's head.
At this moment, all the imposing aura on his body erupted, his cultivation realm laid bare.
Meridian Opening Realm Sixth Level!
If placed within Qiulin County, he could basically walk sideways.
Moreover, if the opponent wished, he could try to break through to the Innate realm at any time.
But Shen Lin remained calm in the face of danger, without the slightest hint of panic on his face.
Holding the long sword in one hand, he casually swung it out!
Whoosh~
The slender long sword's power was even greater than the opponent's heavy Executioner's Blade, stirring up a gust of wind.
Clang!
With a muffled sound, the long sword collided with the Executioner's Blade, paused for a moment, and then instantly pressed forward.
Huang Xiaotian was sent flying back as quickly as he had charged forward.
His plump body crashed through the tall earthen wall, rolling out of the courtyard.
The second brother, who had been charging behind him, reacted quickly, stopping his forward momentum with all his might.
Even so, he was still less than ten paces away from Shen Lin.
"Hi!"
Shen Lin greeted him with a bright smile, then thrust the long sword in his hand straight forward.
The sword was like a shooting star, crossing the ten-foot distance in an instant, hitting the center of the opponent's brow.
The Dog Demon's eyes lost their luster, meeting the same fate as his third brother.
