Su Ye, Mountain Splitting, Wolf Demon

Deep in the night in Linshan County

Dense forest outside Qinghe Town

Su Ye's eyes snapped open. Where is this? What happened?

He vaguely recalled being hit by a runaway truck while waiting for the traffic light on his way to work. He spun 360 degrees in the air before losing consciousness. Now, upon waking, he found himself in a completely different world.

Suddenly, his mind twitched. Before he could react, a torrent of memories surged into him.

Su Ye, a constable in Linshan County, earning a monthly salary of two taels. An orphan with no parents, he was raised by an old beggar. When the old beggar died at sixteen, he gave Su Ye a palm-sized wooden knife and told him to go to the Taihang Mountains if he ever had nowhere else to turn.

He tried to process the memories flooding his mind when a cultivation scene appeared in his consciousness.

Cultivation. Martial Artists.

Su Ye clung to these keywords.

Transmigration.

The novel's plot is happening to me. Not only can I cultivate, but I can also do things like overturn seas, stir up seas, fly, and burrow into the earth. It's actually possible.

As the memories continued to merge, he quickly understood his current predicament. Earlier that day, the yamen received a report that people had been frequently disappearing in Qinghe Town over the past two days.

The yamen, being responsible, immediately dispatched Su Ye to investigate alongside another middle-aged constable named Wang Jin.

While following a lead, the two entered the dense forest where they are now. As expected, something unexpected happened. Despite their constant vigilance, their low strength made them vulnerable. They were ambushed by a Wolf Demon that suddenly appeared from behind them.

The attack was sudden, and neither of them was prepared. The original Su Ye's body was pierced by a single blow, killing him instantly. Wang Jin reacted in time, but it was futile. Within a few moves, he was also killed by the Wolf Demon.

The sound of crunching flesh and bone reached his ears, startling Su Ye from his memories. He followed the sound with his gaze.

He saw a Wolf Demon with dark greenish-black fur, incredibly tall and burly, its face ferocious, its eyes glowing with a faint red light, and bits of flesh still stuck to the fur around its mouth.

A Wolf Demon.

Su Ye swallowed. It gave him no chance to react. Although he had often seen them in novels and movies, he couldn't help but be afraid now that one was right in front of him.

Having just transmigrated, he was still disoriented. He had already sat up straight and was now staring directly into the Wolf Demon's eyes.

Damn it. I'm going to die before I even get to experience being a Martial Artist. I wonder if I can transmigrate again.

He gripped the saber by his side and suddenly stood up, saying, "I've already died once, what's there to be afraid of? A dead bird faces the sky; if I don't die, I'll live forever!"

Unexpectedly, a cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

Ding! Detected Demonic Beast aura, Martial Dao Assistance System officially activated.

Detected collectible Martial Skill [Mountain Splitting Saber Technique · Unranked]. Automatically collected.

Note: Killing Demonic Beasts will grant Assistance Points, which can be used for Martial Arts, upgrades, or for the deduction of Martial Arts techniques, etc...

Initial system activation reward: 10 Assistance Points.

Haha.

The essential cheat for any transmigrator. It's true, a system... Max it out for me.

Looking at the only Martial Art on the panel, Su Ye not only yearned to feel extraordinary power but also saw it as the only way to resolve his current crisis.

[Mountain Splitting Saber Technique] The name itself tells you it's a common, run-of-the-mill technique. Although common, it wasn't easy to obtain. In his memories, the original owner spent twenty taels of silver to join the yamen, and only then was he given it, along with a standard saber and two sets of blue yamen uniforms.

"Ding!"

Consumed 5 Assistance Points. Mountain Splitting Saber Technique upgraded from Minor Accomplishment to Perfected.

At the same time, fragments of memories suddenly appeared in Su Ye's mind and began to merge. Thousands of figures flickered, repeatedly practicing the same saber technique. His eyes snapped open.

When he came to his senses, he felt the changes in his body. Not only had the wound from the Wolf Demon healed completely, but his body was now strengthening at an unbelievable rate, leaving him just one step away from becoming a true Martial Artist.

The saber in his hand felt familiar, as if he had practiced it for decades. His grip, his stances, his slashes, and his power application techniques were all deeply ingrained in his mind.

"Roar!"

The Wolf Demon, sensing the sudden presence of a living person in the air, suddenly rose and turned towards Su Ye not far away, its eyes glowing with a faint green light.

"Boom!"

The sound was like a muffled thunderclap, and the surrounding soil flew up. The Wolf Demon's massive body shot out like an arrow at extreme speed.

A disgusting stench of decay hit his face, and a dark shadow obscured the moon in the sky. Yet, Su Ye appeared unusually calm. The Wolf Demon's every move seemed to slow down as it entered his vision.

When the Wolf Demon was inches away, he moved. The saber light was long and sharp, cutting through everything without obstruction or sound.

Like a sharp blade slicing through tofu, an extremely narrow bloodline appeared, extending from the Wolf Demon's neck all the way to its abdomen. It then slowly widened, and dark red blood gushed violently from the gaping wound.

The Wolf Demon lost the momentum to continue its charge. Its eyes remained fierce but lost their focus. Its sharp claws were only an inch or two away from Su Ye, yet they seemed unable to advance any further, as if separated by an insurmountable chasm.

"Thump!"

With a dull thud, the Wolf Demon's massive body crashed heavily to the ground, splashing brown liquid everywhere. Some of it landed on Su Ye, and the pungent, fishy smell made him frown involuntarily.

Looking at the Wolf Demon's corpse before him, he thought to himself, It's all thanks to the system. Wang Jin, who cultivated for over ten years, is no match for my sudden enlightenment.

The system's prompt also sounded in real-time.

[Ding! Killed Corpse Wolf. Gained 10 Assistance Points.]

Su Ye frowned slightly, his gaze falling on the Wolf Demon's remains on the ground. The brown liquid had stained the ground red, and a strong smell of blood permeated the surroundings.

Wasn't it a Wolf Demon? How did it turn into a Corpse Wolf?

Unable to figure out the inside story, Su Ye decided to stop paying attention to the matter and return to the County Town first.

After a short rest, he learned from his memories that this world was similar to ancient times in his previous life. However, here, Demonic Beasts ran rampant, and evil spirits abounded. Martial arts were also very popular. As a fan of web novels, he naturally yearned for such a world, and now that he had transmigrated, it was exactly what he wanted.

Finally, I don't have to be a beast of burden anymore.

He tightly gripped the long saber in his hand and cleanly severed the Wolf Demon's head. He slightly lifted his leg to step over the blood on the ground and walked to the constable's corpse.

He casually closed Wang Jin's eyes, carrying the Wolf Demon's massive head in one hand and supporting Wang Jin's body, which had already been gnawed to pieces by the Wolf Demon, with the other. He slowly walked in the direction of Linshan County.

His memory contained no procedures for handling such incidents, so Su Ye decided to bring everything along. After all, words were not proof. What if there were benefits, and he missed them due to his negligence? Wouldn't that be a pity?

As dawn broke outside the east gate of Linshan County, several guards at the gate had looks of shock on their faces. Their bodies involuntarily moved closer to Su Ye, and among them were familiar faces.

Su Ye, you... what happened?

What are you carrying in your hand?

As everyone approached and saw Wang Jin's corpse strapped to Su Ye's back, as well as the massive wolf head in his hand, the guards at the gate couldn't help but exclaim: What happened? How could this be?

At this moment, there were already many citizens coming and going at the city gate. Among them, someone from a merchant caravan exclaimed: What the constable is carrying is a Wolf Demon's head! I saw one just like it before in Tianzhao Prefecture.

What Demonic Beasts? Didn't they say they were all wiped out around here?

Don't be ridiculous. If they didn't say that, would you dare to go out of the city to work?

Although the citizens were discussing it, no one dared to come forward to speak. As the crowd moved, the news also spread throughout Linshan County.

The guards at the gate drove away the onlookers while hurriedly taking Wang Jin's corpse. Then, two of them walked out and accompanied Su Ye to the yamen.

Inside the yamen, Zhou Tao had arranged the specific matters and was about to get up and leave when a young man in short attire rushed in to report: Uncle, a constable at the east gate is carrying a Wolf Demon's head and is almost at the yamen.
