Slay the Demon, Steal Lifespan!

"Alright!"

"As expected of my brother Wang Chao, you've got guts!"

"Doctor Shen Qing, you just focus on brewing the medicine, I'll handle the matter of Demons and Devils!"

Wang Chao looked at Chen Fan, then at Shen Qing, and finally seemed to make up his mind.

He had received news today that Black Mountain was being plagued by a Wild Boar Demon, and the third team was already surrounding and suppressing it. They should be making their move soon.

If he rushed over now, swallowed his pride, and even knelt and kowtowed, he would ask the third team's squad leader Zhang Meng to spare the Wild Boar Demon's life, allowing Chen Fan to deliver the final blow.

Demons and Devils were hateful, but even more ferocious.

The Jinyiwei killed Demons and eradicated Devils, never leaving any Demons and Devils alive. This was because even a Demon or Devil clinging to life could take several brothers' lives in a desperate final struggle.

Therefore, for Zhang Meng, Wang Chao's request was extremely unreasonable, and Chen Fan's dying plea was even more of a tantrum.

However, flesh and blood were still flesh and blood. Zhang Meng and Wang Chao had been colleagues for over twenty years. The moment Wang Chao knelt before him, he could only agree.

And so, Wang Chao and Zhang Meng, along with over a dozen Jinyiwei brothers, used iron chains as thick as a baby's arm to bind the Wild Boar Demon tightly. Ten horses pulled a giant prison cart, dragging the Wild Boar Demon from Black Mountain back to the Jinyiwei stronghold.

The Jinyiwei Hundred Households Office.

After several hours of preparation and brewing, Shen Qing finally finished the medicinal soup for Chen Fan.

He fed Chen Fan the brewed soup one spoonful at a time. After drinking it, Chen Fan felt a warmth spreading from his stomach throughout his entire body.

He felt the chill within him being dispelled, his body feeling warm and comfortable, and the sharp pain was replaced by a dull ache. An hour after taking the medicine, he could stand and walk, feeling as if his strength had returned.

At this moment, Wang Chao and Zhang Meng also returned to the Jinyiwei stronghold, dragging the Wild Boar Demon with them.

"Brother Chen Fan, you're really standing!"

"This is truly wonderful!"

"Brother Zhang Meng and I brought back the Wild Boar Demon from Black Mountain, and we're waiting for you to finish it yourself!"

Wang Chao arrived at Chen Fan's residence. He saw Chen Fan standing in the room, wearing a brand new Flying Fish Robe, holding a Hundred Refinements Embroidered Spring Blade, practicing his moves, and brandishing the swift blade in his hand.

If he hadn't known that Chen Fan was on his last legs, he would have almost thought that Doctor Shen Qing had miraculous healing powers and had saved Chen Fan's life again!

"Captain Wang, I know our Jinyiwei rules. Any Demon or Devil encountered is to be executed on the spot."

"This time, you must have paid a great price to persuade Captain Zhang to bring the Wild Boar Demon back from Black Mountain for me to kill. I, Chen Fan, will never forget this great kindness!"

"If I am fortunate enough to survive this, I will repay this great kindness tenfold, a hundredfold."

"If I am destined to die this time, then I can only repay your great kindness in the next life!"

Chen Fan bowed to Wang Chao, speaking with sincerity.

After accepting the memories of the original body, he naturally knew the rules of the Jinyiwei. Demons and Devils were ferocious, and they were to be eradicated completely. Unless a Demon or Devil was unkillable, they would be captured alive and suppressed. All those who could be killed were to be killed.

Killing Demons and Devils was already difficult, let alone capturing them alive. Even with a single breath left, a Demon or Devil could still launch a deadly counterattack.

Such lessons had been paid for with the blood of countless Jinyiwei ancestors. Yet today, Wang Chao had broken the rules for Chen Fan. Such kindness was truly unforgettable!

"We are brothers, why speak such formal words?"

"The Wild Boar Demon is tied up in the Training Ground. Today, you can just fulfill your wish and personally slay the Demon and eradicate the Devil!"

Wang Chao immediately helped Chen Fan up and patted his shoulder.

"Thank you, Captain Wang!"

Life was at stake, so Chen Fan no longer stood on ceremony. Holding the Hundred Refinements Embroidered Spring Blade, he walked towards the Training Ground with Wang Chao.

On the Training Ground.

Chen Fan stood before the Wild Boar Demon, taking a deep breath.

The black hog bristles on the Wild Boar Demon were like sharp spikes, and its tusks were as sharp as blades. It was about three meters tall and five to six meters long, appearing like a small hill.

Its body was covered in wounds, and several arrows were still stuck in its body, with blood gushing from the wounds.

"Kid, you're going to die!"

The Wild Boar Demon glared at Chen Fan with its blood-red eyes. Sensing the aura of death emanating from Chen Fan, a mocking smile appeared on its pig-like face.

"Yes, I am going to die."

"But you will die before me."

Chen Fan said calmly.

"Roar!"

Upon hearing this, the Wild Boar Demon's ferocity surged. It struggled desperately, the chains binding it clanking loudly. It lunged towards Chen Fan, but only managed to move less than three inches forward.

"Stop struggling, my blade is fast, you won't feel any pain!"

Chen Fan lifted his foot, stomped hard on the Wild Boar Demon's head, and then swung his blade with all his might, aiming straight for its neck!

Swoosh!

Hot Demon blood splattered all over Chen Fan, but this strike only managed to cut through some of the skin and flesh on the Wild Boar Demon's neck, not enough to kill it.

If Chen Fan had been in his prime, he might have killed such a defenseless Wild Boar Demon with a single blow.

But now, he was still too weak. He finally understood what Doctor Shen Qing meant by saying he would become like an ordinary person after taking the medicine.

It turned out "ordinary person" meant a truly ordinary person!

He was now equivalent to someone who had never trained in martial arts. Although the Hundred Refinements Embroidered Spring Blade in his hand was sharp enough, it was far from enough to kill this tough-skinned Wild Boar Demon with a single blow!

"It hurts me too!"

"Kid, you're a damn waste!"

"Didn't you say your blade was fast?"

"Didn't you say I wouldn't feel pain?"

"I &*#&@♀..."

The Wild Boar Demon let out a painful howl, then spewed curses, cursing Chen Fan's ancestors.

Chen Fan heard this and felt a wave of embarrassment. This was a classic case of showing off and failing spectacularly!

But he didn't care about that now. All he wanted was to kill the Wild Boar Demon, steal its remaining lifespan, use his cheat, strengthen himself, suppress the Yin Sha poison in his body, and help himself overcome this life-or-death crisis!

One slash!

Two slashes!

Three slashes!

Regardless of the Wild Boar Demon's howls and insults, Chen Fan forcefully stomped on its millstone-sized head and continued to hack away. The demon's blood splattered on him, almost dyeing him into a blood-soaked figure.

Chen Fan didn't know how many slashes he had made when the status panel finally popped up, and a golden-red notification appeared before him:

[Killed the first stage of the Spirit Concealment Realm, the Wild Boar Demon, and stole its remaining lifespan of thirty-three years!]

[Name: Chen Fan]

[Realm: Spirit Concealment Realm (First Stage: Skin Devil)]

[Cultivation Technique: Body Tempering Fist (Minor Accomplishment) [Can be deduced]] [Draw Sword Slash (Minor Accomplishment) [Can be deduced]]

[Current Remaining Lifespan: Three days (70 years)]

[Current Demon Lifespan: Thirty-three years]

[Current State: Can consume Demon Lifespan to deduce martial arts!]

[Note: Demon Lifespan cannot be converted into personal lifespan!]

Looking at the information on the status panel, Chen Fan finally let out a long sigh. He was almost completely exhausted, but he had finally killed the Wild Boar Demon!

"Brother Wang, Brother Zhang, all you brothers, thank you for fulfilling my wish!"

Chen Fan cupped his fists and bowed deeply to the onlookers.

"Alas!"

"Since you have personally killed the Wild Boar Demon, go back and rest early!"

Zhang Meng looked at Chen Fan and sighed as he spoke.

Wang Chao had already told everyone in their team about Chen Fan's situation. He had also sought everyone's opinion before deciding to spare the Wild Boar Demon and capture it alive, allowing Chen Fan from the Ninth Team to kill it himself, thus fulfilling his dying wish.

Although this violated the rules of the Jinyiwei, and they might face punishment from the commander, they didn't care. After all, the deceased should be respected.
