People Die, Debts Vanish, Liu Family Incident!

Su Xian's consciousness sank into his body.

After breaking through to the Tendon Refining Realm, martial artists are able to perceive their internal bodies.

Within Su Xian's body, his bones were emitting a faint red glow.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but nod.

According to the Marrow Cleansing Bone Refining Scripture, this is the sign of a cultivator breaking through to the Tendon Refining Realm.

Once they reach the late stage of the Tendon Refining Realm, the red glow will gradually dissipate.

And when they reach the peak of the Tendon Refining Realm, their bones will become like jade!

Within Su Xian's body, not only his bones were showing anomalies, but his muscles were also emitting a clear light!

Once they break through to the peak of the Tendon Refining Realm.

Martial artists will gain Ice Muscle Jade Bone!

It possesses wondrous power. According to the descriptions in the Marrow Cleansing Bone Refining Scripture, After a martial artist possesses Ice Muscle Jade Bone, it can even improve their cultivation aptitude, and speed up the cultivation of Martial Skills!

Recalling the records in the Marrow Cleansing Bone Refining Scripture, Su Xian couldn't help but feel a stir of desire.

This was the only method he currently knew of that could improve a martial artist's cultivation aptitude!

"Tomorrow, I'll go out and see if there are any ways to make money!"

"A thousand taels of silver! Could it be that I have to go into Green Dragon Mountain to kill demons again? But there aren't many demons in Green Dragon Mountain to begin with, and they're hard to find."

Thinking of this, Su Xian couldn't help but get a headache. The demons in Green Dragon Mountain were already scarce, and their locations were very hidden.

When the Azure Cloud Medical Hall organized so many people to go up the mountain back then, they didn't even encounter a single demon, which was telling!

"I still need to get a saber!"

Su Xian shook his head. His only Mountain-splitting Saber was broken, and he urgently needed a good saber now.

The next morning, Su Xian went out.

He hadn't walked far before he saw a crowd gathered outside a small alley.

"Someone else died?" Su Xian frowned. Things were different now.

The last time he saw a dead person in an alley, he felt a sense of urgency, as his martial arts cultivation was too low back then.

But it was different now. Although only a few days had passed, he was now a strong cultivator in the early Tendon Refining Realm.

He felt a little more confident.

Su Xian walked over and looked into the alley. After seeing who had died inside, his expression couldn't help but freeze.

It was Zhang Zuo and his two lackeys?

They were all stripped naked, their vital energy drained, and lying in the alley.

"This... it's a Fox Demon again?"

Su Xian looked at the appearance of the three corpses in the alley and thought to himself.

This kind of death was the same as the corpses he had discovered before. Although they were stripped naked, they had indeed died from their vital energy being drained.

He judged that it must have been a Fox Demon.

"It seems there's still a Fox Demon in Blackwater County!"

A smile appeared on Su Xian's lips. Now, when facing these demons, he no longer felt fear.

They were all walking sources of demon lifespan!

"Looks like I won't have to return that thirteen taels of silver, right? Although I never planned to return it anyway."

Su Xian smiled as he looked at the appearance of the three dead bodies in the alley.

It had only been a few days since he borrowed the money, and he never expected his creditor to be dead.

After leaving the area, Su Xian thought about it. He didn't go to the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School but instead went to the Blackwater County Yamen.

He planned to see if there were any demon-slaying commissions or the like.

Not only could he earn demon lifespan, but he could also earn silver, which was killing two birds with one stone.

"Hmm! Found something!" Su Xian browsed around and quickly made a discovery.

Several servants in the Liu Family of Blackwater County had died, their hearts were gouged out!

Initially, their family's early Tendon Refining Realm guard intended to slay the demon, but after one night.

That guard also died. This time it was even more thorough. Not only were their hearts removed, but even their entire bodies were dried out of blood.

After the early Tendon Refining Realm guard died, the entire Liu Family was in a state of panic!

So the head of the Liu Family intended to use three thousand taels of silver to hire a martial artist at the peak Tendon Refining Realm to take action!

Help them kill this demon, or escort their entire family to the neighboring Linyuan County!

If they are safely escorted there, a generous reward will be given!

Looking at the details and reward on the bounty poster, Su Xian was somewhat tempted, but also hesitant.

A guard in the early stage of the Tendon Refining Realm had also died. This demon's strength was probably not simple.

Su Xian's current cultivation was only in the early stage of the Bone Tempering Realm.

He was only one major realm higher than that guard. He didn't know if he could handle this demon.

"Let's go take a look first! The Liu Family isn't far from here!"

Su Xian thought for a moment, then returned home to change his clothes, put on a mask, and went to the County Yamen to take down the bounty poster. Then he headed towards the Liu Family.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Liu Family, a cry of surprise came from inside!

After Su Xian presented the bounty poster, the person who opened the door enthusiastically welcomed him in.

Su Xian also saw the situation inside clearly. Another person had died.

There was a large hole in their chest, and their heart was gone.

Surrounding the dead person, the people around had terrified expressions, and some women were crying.

"Who is this?"

A well-built person noticed Su Xian, who was wearing a mask, and walked up, asking softly.

"I take people's money to resolve their troubles."

Su Xian said calmly, then took out the bounty poster.

Hearing this, the person's face lit up with joy. He had posted this bounty for a long time, but no one had come!

If no one else came, he had even considered offering his entire fortune to the Azure Cloud Medical Hall for their protection!

"So you're a demon hunter! That's great! I am Liu Xuan, the head of the Liu Family. May I know your name?"

"Ye Fan."

Su Xian said, then looked at the corpse not far away and said:

"Let me examine this person's wound first."

"So it's warrior Ye! Good, good, please, please!" Liu Xuan said quickly upon hearing this.

Su Xian went to the corpse, squatted down, and examined the wound on the chest.

After a long while, he slowly stood up.

"Do you know what you've found?" Liu Xuan asked anxiously, a hint of worry flashing across his face.

So many people in their Liu Family had already died, yet he knew nothing about this murderous demon.

"It's hard to say, but I'll take this job." Su Xian's tone was calm, then he said:

"I need a knife, preferably a good one!"

Based on his observations just now, Su Xian had figured out something.

This murderous demon had extraordinary strength, at least in the Tendon Refining Realm, but it shouldn't exceed the Bone Tempering Realm!

Although Su Xian's current cultivation was in the early stage of the Bone Tempering Realm, he still wanted a knife for safety's sake.

"No problem! No problem! It's just a knife!"

Liu Xuan, the head of the Liu Family, nodded quickly, then called a servant. A knife was retrieved from the family's treasury and handed to Su Xian.

"Does this knife suit you?" Liu Xuan asked.

Su Xian took the knife and swung it, then flicked his finger against the blade. A crisp ringing sound echoed.

"It's fine, it's enough!"

Su Xian nodded. Although the knife's grade wasn't high, it was sufficient.

"Wait, Father! We should at least test this 'Ye Fan's' strength!"

At this moment, a young man stepped forward and looked at Su Xian.

Liu Xuan couldn't help but look at Su Xian and say, "What do you think, warrior Ye?"

"Alright! Give me your sword."

Su Xian looked at the young man who had stepped forward and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the young man tossed the sword at his waist to Su Xian.

After presenting it, he drew the sword, then pinched the blade with his fingers and squeezed hard.

He tossed the sword back to the young man.

The young man took back his sword and looked at it. Clear finger imprints and dents were left on the blade!

Seeing this, the young man was greatly astonished!

This paired sword is made of extremely sturdy material!

Even a martial artist in the late Tendon Refining Realm wouldn't be able to leave such clear and visible dents on the blade!

Thinking this, the young man quickly bowed and begged for forgiveness.

"It is I who was blind, please forgive me!"

"No matter." Su Xian waved his hand slightly.
