Kill

"Today, you must die here!?"

Dark clouds had appeared in the sky sometime earlier, and amidst the crackling lightning, a vast and terrifying electric grid was formed, coinciding with the lightning bolts in Li Wei's hand.

The electric current crackled and crackled incessantly, intensifying the chilling atmosphere.

The old man surnamed Qin clearly understood that the young man before him was going to fight to the death. A venomous glint flashed in his eyes, and he bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood that landed on the skull in his hand.

In an instant, the old man seemed to age ten years, clearly having expended a great deal of his vital energy.

However, the murderous glint in his eyes intensified at this moment.

"Hmph, you bumpkin from a mere island dares to speak so arrogantly? Today I'll show you the power from a higher star system! Devour him, Blood Infant!?"

Having said that, the old man surnamed Qin lifted the skull, revealing a Rift on it. Only then did Li Wei realize that the skull originally had two Rift, though they were simply not clearly visible.

Apart from a Rift, the skull remained unchanged, but Li Wei felt a sudden tightness in his chest for no apparent reason.

Suddenly, Li Wei felt a chill run down his thigh, a chill so intense it sent a shiver down Li Wei spine. Without hesitation, Li Wei swiftly hurled the bolt of lightning at the elderly man surnamed Qin in the distance.

Is this the strongest attack Li Wei can currently unleash?

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck like a thunder dragon, hitting the dazed old man surnamed Qin. It didn't explode; the lightning dragon was too fast, piercing a gaping hole through the old man's chest before striking the ground a hundred meters behind him and exploding.

A powerful electric current raged, turning everything within a hundred meters into charred remains. Even plants and rocks were pulverized, demonstrating the devastating power of this attack.

The elderly man surnamed Qin lowered his head, looked at the large hole in his chest, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he had no strength left. Then his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, dead.

The small skull in his hand also fell to the ground, rolled once, and then stopped.

Although he had killed the elderly man surnamed Qin, Li Wei's troubles were far from over.

After unleashing the lightning, Li Wei quickly looked down at his thigh, and instantly turned deathly pale at what he saw.

There, a hematoma the size of an infant had inexplicably appeared, relentlessly gnawing at its flesh. Even more horrifying, it felt no Pain whatsoever.

Upon closer inspection, the hematoma was actually an infant made entirely of blood, its bloodthirsty eyes glaring out as it emitted a terrifying 'heh heh' laugh.

"Holy crap, what is this thing?!"

In desperation, Li Wei suddenly released the suppressed demonic energy within his body. The dense white mist seemed to cause considerable harm to the Blood Infant. As if left with no other choice, the Blood Infant, with a ferocious expression, finally detached itself from Li Wei's thigh, hissed a few times, and then dissolved into a pool of blood and vanished without a trace.

Looking at the pool of blood with lingering fear, Li Wei quickly took out a [High-Level Cure Card] and used it on his mangled thigh.

Fortunately, the advanced Cure card was effective, and the wound healed quickly. However, the chilling aura didn't gradually dissipate until several days later.

Looking at the old man surnamed Qin's body, Li Wei slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

A series of battles and frequent use of 'Sky Fox Awakening' pushed Li Wei to his limit. Li Wei lay on the ground for a full three hours before finally moving his fingers and struggling to his feet.

Fortunately, the previous battle had scared away the nearby monsters; otherwise, any one of them could have easily swallowed Li Wei whole.

Enduring the pervasive stinging pain throughout his body, Li Wei staggered towards the corpse of the old man surnamed Qin.

First, they picked up the baby skull that had fallen to the ground.

In Li Wei's eyes, this skull must be a treasure. If it weren't for the demonic energy within him, he would probably have been devoured by this monster long ago with that final Blood Infant attack.

The memory of the Blood Infant tearing at him filled Li Wei with lingering fear.

Upon closer inspection of the skull in his hand, Li Wei discovered that it was incredibly heavy. The outside of the skull was smooth as jade, while the inside was covered with various incomprehensible runes.

Three Rift are clearly visible on the skull.

After temporarily storing the skull in the Copper Pot, Li Wei walked over and kicked the old man's corpse with his foot to confirm that it wouldn't rise from the dead. Then, Li Wei squatted down and began to collect the old man's belongings.

What first caught Li Wei's attention was undoubtedly a piece of Black Paper.

"This... this guy is also Destroyer???"

Li Wei was visibly taken aback when he looked at the old man; this was the first time he had ever seen Destroyer like himself.

Swallowing hard, Li Wei used a special method to open the Black Paper. Soon, a wealth of information appeared...

Without a doubt, this is a 'Destroyer's Contract,' because its original owner is dead and it is now free. Like the Yellow Paper 'Guardian,' the Black Paper can also be fused with its own kind?

Only through fusion can one obtain everything contained within the Black Paper.

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei temporarily put the Black Paper away. This place was clearly not suitable; he needed to find a quiet, secluded spot.

Continuing to search the old man's belongings, Li Wei found another booklet. Flipping through it, he was shocked to discover a few words written on it...

"The Blood Control Method, a hereditary cultivation method of the Qin Family within a Level 3 star field, Blood Control against enemies!?"

Level 3 star system?

Li Wei frowned; clearly, he didn't quite understand the meaning of this term.

Suddenly, Li Wei remembered a sentence the old man surnamed Qin uttered when releasing the 'Blood Infant'. Two key phrases caught Li Wei's attention: one was "a mere bumpkin from a tiny place," and the other was "to witness the power from a higher star system."

Li Wei pondered these two sentences repeatedly and finally came to a conclusion...

That is, in the eyes of this old man surnamed Qin, his origins were extremely lowly; otherwise, the other party wouldn't have used the term "country bumpkin" to describe him. And that phrase "advanced star region" seemed to represent the old man surnamed Qin's origins...?

So, is he from the so-called advanced star field, the "level?? star field" mentioned in this book, "The Blood Control Method"?

So, to which category does the place where I live belong?

With too many questions swirling in his mind, none of which could be answered immediately, Li Wei decided to put them aside for the time being. After putting away the 'Blood Control Method,' Li Wei explored the area again, but found nothing new.

After standing up again, Li Wei glanced at the old man's corpse, then used his remaining true energy to throw the body off the cliff, finally finding some peace.

He then took out a flight card, used it, and flew off the cliff.

When Li Wei was faking his jump off the cliff, he noticed many small caves on the cliff face, which were undoubtedly the most suitable place for Li Wei to hide.

The depletion of his true energy and the aftereffects of two 'Awakening' left Li Wei extremely exhausted.

All he wants now is to find a place to get a good night's sleep.

We'll talk about the rest after I wake up.

He quickly found a cave, Li Wei inside, and then used the card 'Earth Wall' to seal the entrance. He collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep sleep in less than two seconds.

Far away from Li Wei's world, on a planet similar to Earth, with a similar human civilization, an extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted from a vast mansion...

"Who are you? How dare you kill even members of my Qin Family?!"

A person flew out of the courtyard and instantly soared to an altitude of ten thousand meters.

Gazing up at the starry sky, this man's eyes were deep and his presence commanding respect without a trace of anger.

From a distance, he appeared to be around 40 years old, dressed in a cloth robe, and his appearance resembled the elderly man surnamed Qin whom Li Wei had killed. After a long while, the middle-aged man sighed, then said with a gloomy expression, "Whoever you are, from today onwards, you are the greatest enemy of my Qin Family. A level 2 star region, huh? Hmph, I'll go there right now!"

Having said that, he vanished into thin air in a flash.

Inside the cave, Li Wei fell asleep immediately.

Night??

Of course, he himself was unaware that so much time had passed; he only felt the stinging pain subside and his strength return somewhat before he slowly awoke.

"Next time, I'll try to use the Sky Fox Awakening as little as possible. Damn it, the side effects are awful!" Li Wei cursed under his breath as he got up from the ground.

After stretching his limbs, Li Wei sat cross-legged again and began to check the recovery of his true energy.

The inner core remains the same, and the true essence has recovered to a certain level, though not quite at its peak, it's close. Presumably, with a period of further meditation, it will be fully restored.

The demonic energy that Li Wei had previously inhaled had all been released to expel the Blood Infant; otherwise, Li Wei would have really wanted to study it more thoroughly.

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei took out the 'Black Paper' he had obtained from the old man surnamed Qin from the Copper Pot, and at the same time summoned his own Black Paper...

"This is the first time we've fused with the Destroyer. I wonder what will happen!"

Upon touching the two Black Paper together, Li Wei immediately received a prompt indicating whether they should be fused.

Li Wei didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.

Soon, a large amount of black smoke billowed from the two pieces of Black Paper, but the smoke only swirled around the Black Paper and did not dissipate. After about a minute, the smoke cleared, and the two pieces of Black Paper merged back together.

"Let me see what's inside that old man's Black Paper!" Li Wei quickly picked up the fused Black Paper and began to examine it.

Upon closer inspection, Li Wei did indeed discover something.

This elderly man surnamed Qin even had the habit of keeping a diary-like book. Li Wei quickly started reading it, and soon he was completely absorbed in it.

After a long while, Li Wei finally looked up. The contents recorded in the Black Paper truly astonished Li Wei.
