Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 43 Recommendation (Please continue reading)

Take advantage of your weakness and kill you!
Having succeeded in his first move, Liu Sheng pressed his advantage, clamping his legs tightly together.

The scales and bone spikes were sharp and pointed, enough to cut through gold and jade, but when they landed on him, they only sparked and left white marks.

Despite the wild horse spirit galloping and leaping wildly, causing its belly to churn, it did not let up, wrapping one arm around the horse's neck and striking its forehead with the other!
With a single palm like a knife, he unleashed the "Eight Styles of Wind Slash" in succession.

A fierce tiger descends the mountain, an angry tiger leaps through the forest, a vicious tiger sits on the slope, a black tiger cleaves the wind...

Punch to the flesh!

In an instant, blood gushed out, and shattered scales, hair, and flesh splattered everywhere.

The man and his horse engaged in a battle of wits and courage, remaining locked in a stalemate for nearly two hours.

Finally, the wild horse spirit let out a mournful howl and collapsed to the ground, barely breathing.

"The monster's vitality is truly remarkable!"

Liu Sheng looked down at his swollen and deformed right hand, gritted his teeth, and gasped.

I used to think "copper skin and iron bones" were amazing, but I only realized how powerful they were after fighting them...

The monsters, who are of the spirit level, all seem to have "copper skin and iron bones".

It seems I still need to learn a physical training method to improve my body's strength.

He was wallowing in self-pity, unaware that...

At the peak of Qi and Blood cultivation, one can forcefully kill demons and monsters—how astonishing!

What's more, he was fighting bare-handed!
However, Liu Sheng was unaware of all this.

He stood out from the Black Tiger Stance, channeling his internal energy and blood into his limbs, and his injuries healed at a visible speed.

A moment later, he severed the wild horse spirit's neck with a single move, and stared into deep thought as he looked at the spirit floating on the horse's corpse.

Should we refine it?
What talents can the horse-shaped incarnation grant?
Forget it, let’s wait a little longer.

He sighed, picked up the horse carcass, and left.

To make it look realistic, the entire journey was conducted using the real person, and it wasn't until the afternoon that they returned to Shanyang County, attracting onlookers along the way.

"Hiss, is that a horse? Why does it have scales on its body? And its mouth is full of sharp teeth, it's terrifying!"

"This is a demon that has come to life!"

"Who is this young man? He managed to hunt down a monster all by himself?!"

"They must be the sons of several powerful families in the inner city!"

……

At first, Liu Sheng didn't pay much attention, but as more and more people gathered, almost blocking the road and their way, he shouted:
"Borrow it!"

In an instant, the onlookers were startled, as if a giant, striped tiger had appeared before their eyes, its stench filling the air, looking ferocious and menacing.

Meanwhile, Liu Sheng had already seized the opportunity, carrying the horse carcass away.

A moment later, he appeared in front of the Demon Suppression Bureau, startling Old Man He.

"This...this..."

Old Man He stared blankly at the enormous corpse of the wild horse demon for a moment before abruptly turning to look at Liu Sheng, his face filled with disbelief:
"Did you really hunt it all by yourself?"

"You said it yourself, cheating to get into the Demon Suppression Division is suicide, and I haven't lived enough yet."

"But this...this..."

Old Man He stammered for a long time, his face turning red, but he didn't say anything more.

Liu Sheng frowned and said in a deep voice:
"But is there something wrong with it? Or is this wild horse spirit not good enough for me to become a beast hunter?"

"A single person can hunt down a monster and become a demon hunter!"

Old Man He spread out his brush and ink, and as he wrote, he explained:

"I have been working in the Shanyang County Demon Suppression Office since its inception, and I have never seen such a capable young man as you."

I was going to shamelessly recommend you to my superiors, but if you've lied to me…”

"Recommendation? Can I become a demon-hunting warrior directly?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng perked up and immediately gave his assurance:
"Don't worry, old man, I personally killed this wild horse demon. If you don't believe me, feel free to test me!"

"I'm only sharing this with you because I trust you."

Old Man He glanced at the palm print on the table, his lips twitched, and with a swift stroke of his brush, he finished writing it. After drying the ink, he walked into the yamen.

A short while later, he returned, his expression calm and confident, and said:

"Wait a minute, the recommendation letter has already been submitted. Our branch has just undergone a major reshuffle, and many captains are new here and not yet familiar with the area..."

"It's alright, I'll wait here."

Liu Sheng looked up at the sky and his eyelids twitched.

As the saying goes, once someone leaves, the tea grows cold. The Demon Suppression Division has just undergone a major reshuffle, and his old connections are probably...

Is it still possible to get through this?

However, he has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, is public-spirited and righteous, and is easy to get along with.

Whether it works out or not, Liu Sheng is willing to be friends with him.

at the same time.

The Demon Suppression Bureau's office has three courtyards.

Qi Gang, the demon-slaying captain, took the letter of recommendation handed to him by the gatekeeper, glanced at it, and frowned:
"At sixteen, his qi and blood were fully developed, and he single-handedly killed a wild horse demon... Absurd!"
This captain, born into a noble family, only managed to kill a demon single-handedly after turning twenty and breaking through to the Visceral Realm…

When did this Shanyang County branch become so extravagant and ridiculous?

With that, he crumpled the letter of recommendation into scrap paper and threw it away.

……

sunset.

Liu Sheng waited at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Division for nearly an hour.

Old Man He went from being completely confident at the beginning to feeling uneasy later, and finally his face turned ashen and his lips trembled.

This old man is a good person, but unfortunately, he doesn't understand the rules of officialdom.

Liu Sheng had actually guessed the outcome long ago, but since this matter was ultimately caused by him, he couldn't just walk away. He decided to give Old Man He some face.

Moreover, the wrecked boat still contained three pounds of iron, and Old Man He, having stayed at the Shanyang County branch for so long, must have known quite a bit of information.

It wasn't until nearly 7 PM, when the bell and drum towers sounded the evening drum and the city gates were about to close, that a minor official came out from inside.

Seeing this, Old Man He quickly went to greet him, his face beaming with smiles:

"Master Xu, this matter..."

"Old He, you're a veteran of the government, how dare you report such an absurd thing?"

Xu, the clerk, launched into a tirade, and finally threw the crumpled letter of recommendation at Old Man He.

"You made me get a real scolding from Captain Qi!"

"But...Master Xu, Brother Liu's statement is genuine!"

Old Man He grew anxious and grabbed Xu Jingli, intending to take him to see the corpse of the wild horse spirit:

"Look, he even carried the corpse of the wild horse demon over..."

"Let go!"

Xu Jingli got angry and reached out to push Old Man He away, but suddenly a strong hand reached out from the side and grabbed his wrist...

It was like an iron clamp, squeezing him so tightly that he couldn't move.

"Who?!"

He was filled with shock and anger, and when he turned around, he met Liu Sheng's expressionless face:

"Let's talk this out, don't resort to violence."

Who do you think you are, daring to lecture me!

Xu Jingli's expression changed drastically, and he began to curse:
"You damn bastard, let me go right now—ah!"

But he had only spoken half a sentence when he let out a pig-like scream, and he knelt on the ground, his face covered in cold sweat.

A cold glint flashed in Liu Sheng's eyes, and a murderous aura surged between his brows.

"Such a powerful killing intent!"

Old Man He was startled, grabbed Liu Sheng, and repeatedly advised him:
"Brother Liu, don't be impulsive! His brother is a demon hunter, and this is the entrance to the government office!"

call!
Liu Sheng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and glanced at the distance...

Under the setting sun, the three characters "Demon Suppression Division" on the plaque gleamed.

"I'll spare you this time, you bastard, just to give Old Master He some face!"

Liu Sheng released Xu Jingli and helped Old He leave.

"Damn it!"

Xu Jingli looked down at the bluish-black ring around his right wrist, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

Since his elder brother became a demon hunter, Xu Qidong had never suffered such a loss in Shanyang County.

He had also read the letter of recommendation. The sixteen-year-old was a villager from Baishui Village, without power or influence, and without any backing.

He's nothing more than a lowly commoner...

He couldn't swallow this insult!
