The Bloodthirsty Demon Was Finally Caught?

The Bloodthirsty Demon Was Finally Caught?

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

News online updated and shifted constantly.

The craze surrounding the Innate Realm Expert who had used One Sword Breaks Peak had come quickly and faded just as fast.

People were occupied with the trivialities of life and soon nearly forgot about it.

After all, battles between Innate Realm Experts were simply too far removed from ordinary people's lives.

They were things one could only admire from afar.

For ordinary people, daily necessities were the true essence of life.

"It's good that they forgot. Things got a little too big before."

In the library, with quitting time approaching, Qin Yang slacked off skillfully while scrolling through the Trending Searches on his phone.

Only after seeing the trending topic that had occupied the top spot disappear did he finally let out a long breath.

Thinking back on what he had done, he could not help feeling fortunate.

Who could have imagined that strike would be so powerful?

He had only casually gone out...

And directly shaved an entire mountaintop flat! It was not his fault—the mountain had been too fragile! If he had known it would be that powerful, he probably would have tried it on a small hill first.

"I wonder just how powerful a single strike of mine is now."

Qin Yang put away his phone, casually flipped through two basic sword manuals, then stuffed them back onto the shelf.

Boring.

Over the past few days, he had already gone through every book on the library's first floor.

The first floor of the library had six major sections.

Yet Qin Yang had not been idle these past few days. Using the excuse of volunteering for extra work, he had made his way through every one of those sections.

Even the supervisor in charge could not help sighing when he saw it.

There were not many hardworking young men like Qin Yang.

So, he simply opened up the other sections and had Qin Yang clean them all.

Taking advantage of those brief cleaning sessions,

Qin Yang had read through every basic sword manual worth reading.

All told, he had consulted at least twenty-five basic sword arts!

However,

what left him speechless was that most of those basic sword arts were repetitive.

Some of the authors were even more outrageous...

Similar content would have been one thing, but some had simply copied other books word for word into their own sword manuals.

For a time, even Qin Yang could not tell who the original author was.

"Everything under the sun is plagiarized. So who copied whom?"

Qin Yang was speechless.

Fortunately,

although those sword arts were similar, they still had their merits.

Take the essence and discard the dregs.

With the Enlightenment Space, extracting the useful parts from those books was no difficult task.

Having fused so many sword arts, Qin Yang's understanding of the sword had soared.

The power of One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate had risen to an even greater level.

"I wonder how much it has improved exactly..."

At that thought, Qin Yang's hand itched to test his sword again.

But the uproar over One Sword Breaks Peak had only just died down over the past few days.

And his current strike was even more terrifying than before.

If he really swung his sword, would he not chop an entire mountain into pieces? He could not test it on a mountain, and testing it against the sky was no good either.

As the saying went, One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate.

If he slashed at the sky... what if he split open the atmosphere and tore a hole in the ozone layer?!

That would be a truly massive problem!

"Sigh... Having too much power is a kind of trouble too."

Qin Yang sighed and pulled out his phone to check the time.

It was time to get off work.

So he raised a hand to turn off the library lights and briskly left his post.

Not long after he walked out of the library, he ran into a squad of fully armed guards heading toward him.

They brushed past him and headed into the library.

A grim, murderous atmosphere hung in the air.

"They're all Acquired Realm Late Stage martial artists."

Qin Yang casually glanced over their cultivation. He remembered that they were all additional guards assigned by the Martial Hall Master.

Although the uproar over One Sword Breaks Peak had died down over the past few days,

the rumors about the Bloodthirsty Demon had grown increasingly rampant, leaving Jianghai City on edge.

The Bloodthirsty Demon had been causing trouble and moving through the city, committing several crimes in succession.

Before their deaths, the victims had all their blood drained from their bodies, left looking like dried corpses.

All kinds of rumors flooded the internet, stirring up a massive commotion.

"This world really is too dangerous."

Walking along the street, Qin Yang looked up at the stars in the night sky and felt his sense of crisis explode.

Leveling a mountaintop with one strike was still not enough.

He needed even more power.

Just as he was lost in thought,

suddenly!

An urgent ringtone sounded from his pocket.

Qin Yang frowned slightly and reached for his phone.

"Who's calling this late? Don't tell me they're asking me to go back for overtime?!"

But when he took out his phone, he found that it was an unfamiliar number.

Somewhat confused, Qin Yang pressed the answer button. Then,

Xia He's booming voice came from the other end. "Lao Qin, save me!"

"???"

What was going on? Qin Yang froze for a moment, his heart skipping a beat as he immediately thought of the Bloodthirsty Demon.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Was this what it meant to fear something and have it come true?

"Where are you? Tell me your location!"

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Qin Yang immediately asked in a calm voice.

Vast Star Power gathered within him, ready to burst forth as the Seven Stars Step was about to be unleashed.

Xia He was the person he knew best in this world. Naturally, he could not stand by and watch him die.

But the next moment,

"Room 404 at the Red Wave Hotel! Lao Qin, hurry over!"

Xia He's tearful voice sounded again.

"Hm? What are you doing there?"

Qin Yang was confused.

"I'm fucking cursed with bad luck! Some bitch set me up with a Honey Trap!"

Xia He broke down, sobbing. "They stripped me naked! Hurry and bring me some clothes. If this gets out and my dad finds out, he'll beat me to death!"

"I'm using a waiter's phone to call you right now. Good thing it's a man, or I'd never be able to face anyone again."

Qin Yang: "..."

Hearing this, Qin Yang did not know whether to laugh or cry.

So that was what it was about.

The city had been so unsettled these past few days that he had gotten a little tense himself.

"Hello? Are you there, Lao Qin?!"

When Xia He received no answer, he immediately grew anxious.

"Come save me! Lao Qin... ptooey! Father Qin! Qin Ye! Hurry and save me!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Wait there. I'll be right over."

Qin Yang rubbed his forehead helplessly. His figure flashed, vanishing toward the Red Wave Hotel.

...The next day.

The previous night, he had rescued Xia He, who had been beaten until his nose was bruised and his face swollen, stripped naked, and left in tears and snot, then sent him home.

After resting for the night, he went back to work as usual.

However, not long after Qin Yang entered the library,

he saw Xia He walking toward him.

His face was exhausted. Having not slept all night, he scratched at his bird's-nest hair.

"Be more honest from now on. Don't let lust get to your head every other moment."

Qin Yang teased, "If I'm not free next time, no one will come save you."

"Hmph, I was only careless for a moment."

Xia He snorted, took out his phone for a look, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "WTF, the Bloodthirsty Demon was caught last night!"
