I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 95 Why Do People Always Seek Death?
"Roar!"

The tiger demon fought with Wu Ming, but despite its immense strength, it could not harm him. Seeing Zhou Ruoyun charging with her sword, and with only a faint breath of life remaining behind her, the tiger demon was enraged, but its rage was tempered with a sliver of reason.

After a roar, the tiger demon swatted away Wu Ming's spear with its claw, then turned and fled into the distance.

After becoming a demon, it naturally possessed intelligence and understood that the current situation was not a way to deal with Wu Ming. If it continued to entangle itself, it would die here. The only way was to escape this place as soon as possible, find a safe place, completely complete its demon transformation, and then find a way to seek revenge on Wu Ming. In any case, it had already memorized the appearances of Wu Ming and Zhou Ruoyun.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

As soon as Zhou Ruoyun arrived, she saw the tiger demon turn and flee. She immediately shouted and drew her sword to slash at it.

However, the tiger demon ignored it. Its tail, which resembled a long whip of refined steel, lashed out and collided with Zhou Ruoyun's longsword. The force of the impact caused Zhou Ruoyun to lose her grip on the sword, which then flew out of her hand.

"not good."

Seeing the tiger demon flee quickly into the night, Zhou Ruoyun knew that if she let it escape, it would become a big problem in the future. But she was powerless to stop it. When she picked up her longsword, the tiger demon was already gone, and Wu Ming had already chased after it with his gun and disappeared into the night.

At that moment, Zhou Ruoyun had no other choice but to listen to the sound and follow the traces forward, tracking all the way until she reached the foot of Erlong Mountain, where she finally saw the tiger demon again.

at this time,

The tiger demon lay prostrate on the ground, its body stiff and motionless.

Wu Ming, holding a long spear, stood on his back, the spear piercing his neck to an unknown depth, with only a small part of the spear shaft remaining outside his neck.

Wu Ming stood there, supporting himself on the broken part of the gun handle, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for breath.

The scene was so shocking that Zhou Ruoyun stood there dumbfounded for a long time before she moved closer to check on the tiger demon. Its life force had indeed completely dissipated, and it was beyond dead.

boo.

Wu Ming drew his Crimson Python Spear, leaped off the tiger demon's back, and looked at the tiger demon's robust body, its muscles bulging, and sighed, "These demons are much more robust and powerful than us martial artists. This tiger demon's 'Third Transformation' is not yet fully complete; it has only undergone a partial transformation. Its power is even greater than that of a master who has completed the Third Blood Condensation. If it were to fully complete the Third Transformation, killing it would be much more difficult than it is now."

"If this tiger demon completes its third transformation, we'll probably be the ones lying dead tonight."

Zhou Ruoyun stood aside and shook her head.

Even before she had fully transformed, she could clearly feel that terrifying power, which she could hardly withstand even a single blow. If she were to truly undergo a complete transformation, she and Wu Ming would likely perish in the tiger's jaws tonight, becoming food for those two tiger demons.

Wu Ming didn't say much, but reached out and gently stroked the tiger demon's strong fur, saying, "These two tiger demons are probably worth a lot of merit points."

"Hmm, a tiger demon in its second transformation has value in terms of its muscles, bones, skin and flesh. That female tiger is worth at least two thousand merit points, while this one is hard to determine, but it will definitely not be less than five thousand."

Zhou Ruoyun finally came to her senses, and a hint of joy appeared on her cool and beautiful face.

Although she was Zhou Huai'an's legitimate daughter and had been practicing martial arts and enjoying various resources since childhood, she still had to rely on her own merits to obtain those extremely valuable spiritual treasures. After all, not to mention her, even a member of the Wang family like Wang Wufeng, whose background was more superior than hers, had to use coercion and enticement to get a Blood Essence Fruit worth five thousand merits.

Although she contributed far less than Wu Ming in defeating the two tiger demons and might only receive one-tenth of the total merit, it was still a considerable amount of merit for her. If she accumulated it several times, she could exchange it for a Blood Essence Fruit for her own use.

"I'll stay here and watch over things. Go find someone to move them."

Wu Ming picked up a tiger paw, weighed it in his hand, and said to Zhou Ruoyun.

Both tiger demons were enormous and robust. The female tiger alone weighed at least a thousand catties, and the male tiger probably weighed no less than two thousand catties. Even if he and Zhou Ruoyun worked together, they would not be able to move them unless he used the power of the Demon Subduing Diagram to directly absorb the corpses of the two tiger demons into it. But obviously, he could not reveal this trump card.

"it is good."

Zhou Ruoyun immediately agreed, turned around and hurriedly went down the mountain to call for help.

Wu Ming watched Zhou Ruoyun leave, then stood leaning on his spear, his eyes slightly closed. He kept recalling the scene of his battle with the two tiger demons, the strength and softness he had used during the fight, and carefully pondering the changes in them.

I do not know how long it has been.

suddenly,

Faint footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Several figures quietly appeared in the bushes in the distance.

"Now that we're here, why hide?"

Wu Ming opened his eyes, his gaze coldly fixed on the bushes not far away, his eyes deep and sharp.

"Your Excellency, you have impressive skills. You dealt with this tiger demon all by yourself?"

Several figures emerged from the bushes. Three of them wore identical gray robes, while the leader wore a blue robe with a black cloud-like pattern embroidered on the lapel. He looked calmly at Wu Ming.

The black cloud pattern is the symbol of the Black Fiend Sect disciples.

Wu Ming stood with his gun at the ready, looking at the approaching Black Fiend Sect members, and said calmly, "Gentlemen of the Black Fiend Sect, are you here to assist our department in dealing with the demonic calamity? It's a pity you're a step too late; the tiger demon has already been dealt with." The one dressed in blue was Xu Mo, a true disciple of the Black Fiend Sect. He glanced at Wu Ming and smiled, "We were just passing by when we heard the commotion and came to investigate. Since the demon has been dealt with, we certainly don't need to exert ourselves. However, timing is everything. Since we've come across this by chance, I wonder if, Your Excellency, you could allow us a share of the spoils?"

"I will not take everything from this tiger demon's body, even though you have worked hard all night. I will only take its fur and its heart. I will not take anything else. This way, we will not have made a wasted trip."

If it were inside the city, even the Black Fiend Sect wouldn't dare to openly rob the two departments. But the situation outside the city is different. All kinds of resources are contested based on ability. Xu Mo was just passing by when he heard the roar of a tiger from afar. He came to check and found that only Wu Ming was guarding a tiger demon corpse. He immediately had a thought.

Although he did not know Wu Ming, he recognized the official robe Wu Ming was wearing, which was the robe of a seventh-rank deputy inspector. Moreover, Wu Ming's blood energy was not vigorous, only at the level of secondary blood clotting. Naturally, he did not take Wu Ming seriously.

"When did the Black Fiend Sect start engaging in robbery?"

Wu Ming spoke indifferently.

A Black Fiend Sect inner disciple behind Xu Mo said with a forced smile, "What robbery? This gentleman's words are too harsh. We have come to lend a helping hand, so we should be asked for a small fee for our trouble. Please do us a favor and let us through."

What if I don't allow it?

"Then we'll have to offend you."

Xu Mo chuckled, then suddenly his figure blurred, and he leaped forward to stand in front of Wu Ming. With a flick of his right hand, he drew a soft sword from who-knows-where. The sword's blade resembled a thin sheet of iron, and when it was thrust out, it twisted and turned like a golden snake coiling around.

Ding!Ding!Ding!
Wu Ming remained expressionless, flicking and thrusting his spear, clashing three times with Xu Mo's soft sword.

"Your skill is truly impressive, sir. I believe this tiger demon has almost reached the third stage of transformation. No wonder you were able to defeat it; your skill has reached such a level." Xu Mo chuckled and brandished his sword.

As the saying goes, a master's skill is evident from the first move. His Golden Snake Soft Sword, though seemingly weak and powerless, actually contained seven or eight kinds of hidden force. If there was the slightest mistake, the sword would easily deflect the opponent's attack. However, Wu Ming's simple few thrusts neutralized all of his strength, demonstrating a skill that combined both strength and softness.

He was a true disciple of the Black Fiend Sect who had achieved three stages of blood coagulation. He had not yet mastered the Unity Technique, but he was absolutely confident in defeating Wu Ming, since Wu Ming's physique was still in the second stage of blood coagulation, far inferior to his own.

"Golden snakes dance wildly."

A glint of light flashed in Xu Mo's eyes, and the Golden Serpent Soft Sword in his hand suddenly trembled. His blood energy surged, and his speed and strength increased dramatically. His body moved forward, and suddenly he seemed to transform into two afterimages, unleashing two different sword lights that attacked Wu Ming from the left and right. This was an explosive technique that only a master who had achieved the third stage of blood condensation could master.

"Senior Brother Xu's Golden Snake Sword Technique is becoming more and more proficient."

"Yes, I think Senior Brother Xu is very close to mastering the way of unifying skills. Once he does, he will likely be among the top three among all the true disciples."

Several inner disciples of the Black Fiend Sect stood not far away, all watching Xu Mo's move with expressions of admiration.

but,
Just as Xu Mo's moves were fierce and he was about to break through Wu Ming's gun circle defense,

Wu Ming, however, remained calm. With a flick of his wrist, he thrust his spear into the ground beside him and pointed forward with his right hand.

"Ok?"

Just as Xu Mo was about to break through Wu Ming's gun circle to gain a chance to get close, he suddenly saw Wu Ming pause with his gun and launch a strange move. Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, but then he saw a point of bright red blood suddenly shoot out from Wu Ming's sleeve.

hidden weapon? !
Xu Mo's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of contempt flashed deep in his eyes. He cultivated the Golden Serpent Soft Sword and wore a golden silk soft armor. He was least afraid of hidden weapons. Such low-level methods might work against ordinary low-level martial artists, but they were completely meaningless against a martial arts master like him who had achieved three blood condensation.

With a flick of his wrist, the Golden Serpent Sword coiled into a golden sword circle, engulfing the crimson light within it.

however,
With that single sweep, the golden sword circle, after engulfing the crimson light, paused only briefly before exploding as if it had swallowed something extremely terrifying!

The golden sword light shattered, and the Golden Serpent Sword in Xu Mo's hand was almost bent in an instant. A look of horror finally appeared in his eyes. He suddenly exerted force with both feet, and his body swayed and retreated, trying to dodge.

But it was of no use.

laugh.

The crimson light followed closely, piercing through Xu Mo's brow in an instant!

Only after his head was pierced did Xu Mo see clearly that the crimson light was actually a small, one-foot-long sword without a hilt, its entire body reflecting a chilling light and containing a terrifying aura.

"This is……"

Xu Mo froze on the spot. With his last remaining consciousness, he vaguely remembered something, but only a look of confusion appeared in his eyes. Then, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Several inner disciples of the Black Fiend Sect who were not far away were stunned when they saw Xu Mo suppressing Wu Ming and about to defeat him.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
The next moment, they only had time to show a look of horror and fear before their bodies froze on the spot, each with an identical sword mark piercing their brows. After swaying, they fell to the ground with thuds.

Wu Ming watched the men fall to the ground with indifferent eyes. He casually raised his hand, flicked his finger, and the crimson blood light suddenly returned, disappearing silently into his sleeve.

"I had no intention of killing anyone, but you all insist on seeking death."

Looking at the corpses of Xu Mo and the others, he shook his head slightly. These people were all martial artists, especially Xu Mo, who was a martial artist who had achieved the third stage of blood coagulation. If he could deal with the demons in peace, he would be a force to protect the peace of the region. But he was forced to take action.
