Li Yang had been worrying that completing the Heretic-Suppression Office's assignments would leave him no time to slay demons and defend the righteous path, giving him no chance to encounter evil Sword Pellets or evil swords.
He had never expected this bout of demon-slaying to bring an unexpected reward.
An evil sword!
An evil sword through and through!
Its grade was unknown, but it was certainly extremely high, probably no weaker than the Phoenix Sword.
But the creature wielding it had been Taiyin Dragon. Even its master had been slain. Once a mere evil sword entered the sword-refining furnace, did it still think it could whip up wind and waves and take his life?
Ridiculous!
The Black Death Sword possessed a spirit, but it was refined alive as it struggled, becoming nourishment for the Qianyang Core Sword.
Not only did this restore the Qianyang Core Sword to its peak, it took it beyond that peak, raising its overall power to another level.
"Is this how quickly the evil path grows?"
Li Yang marveled.
He was no Heretic Cultivator, but absolute justice that fed upon the evil path.
One predator devouring another!
Taiyin Dragon was dead, even her dragon nascent soul annihilated.
Li Yang had a quarter of an hour to rest while he waited for his next opponent.
After refining the Black Death Sword, he tossed Taiyin Dragon's body out.
"Catch!"
Wang Dabao caught the enormous Taiyin Dragon corpse, bewildered.
"Cook her. Let these 'guests' see the culinary skills of our Nine Provinces. Let them witness the cruelest desecration of a corpse!" Li Yang smiled, his smile cruel.
Wang Dabao understood.
But cooking their corpses in front of the Heavenly Prodigies of the Demon Savage Continent would certainly earn their hatred.
For a merchant, this was anything but wise.
Then
