Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

It was a cold night.

The moonlight, as white as frost, cast a thin, bright glow, illuminating the earth in a vast expanse of white, as if draped in a layer of silver gauze.

pat!

A figure landed on a rooftop. He was dressed in black, only his eyes visible, and he was slightly out of breath, his gaze searching around. "That little bitch got away? How is that possible! With so many people, where could she have gone!"

"Who are you looking for?"

A gentle voice rang in the man in black's ear.

"Who else could it be but that little bitch from Baicao Shop?"

Before the man in black finished speaking, he suddenly woke up and his expression changed drastically. Something was wrong. He was a master of internal energy. How could someone be behind him without him noticing?

A faint breathing sound came from above behind him, the warm breath seeming to raise the temperature a degree. A huge creature had somehow appeared behind him.

Seeing the huge shadow cast on the ground, the man in black was already terrified, his heart pounding with fear, and he immediately wanted to retreat.

Snapped!

The enormous creature casually raised its hand and pressed it down on the man in black's head.

A terrifying force poured down like a flood, instantly freezing the man in black. Despite his early-stage internal energy cultivation, he was still unable to move.

"We're doomed! We've run into an old monster!"

Despite the freezing weather, the man in black was drenched in sweat, his heart filled with terror and unease.

He considered himself to be at the peak of the early stage of Dark Force, and it was impossible for someone in the middle stage of Dark Force to subdue him so easily. Even someone in the late stage of Dark Force would find it difficult to have such strength.

Only those immortal beings who have spent countless years at the peak of Dark Force, cultivating various methods and strengths, can possess such terrifying power to kill Dark Force cultivators as easily as killing chickens.

just,

The man in black guessed wrong.

This enormous figure was just a boy who was almost nineteen years old and had not yet come of age!

"Next, I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them."

Young Wang Sheng stood behind the man in black and spoke calmly.

"Yes, yes, senior, please ask!"

The man in black immediately became as docile and obsequious as a dog, showing no trace of the arrogance of someone at the peak of the early stage of internal energy cultivation.

What's the deal with Baicaopu?

Wang Shengdao.

"Reporting to Senior. Just two days ago, someone issued a Hero's Decree, saying that a senior expert was dissatisfied with some powerful forces occupying the best territories and resources, and wanted to stand up for rogue cultivators. Therefore, the Hero's Decree was issued to gather heroes and martial arts masters to reward good and punish evil."

"However, we all know that the so-called Hero's Order is just a bunch of rogue cultivators led by a master to take advantage of the damage done to some powerful forces and rob them."

"After we all gathered tonight, the leader said we were going to rob Baicao Shop."

"As you know, Baicao Shop has always done good deeds and cultivated good relationships with many powerful forces through its medicinal herbs and medical skills. When we heard that we were going to attack Baicao Shop, we thought, how could we do that? Wouldn't that make enemies of the whole city? We immediately decided we didn't want to continue."

"But the leader was a group of four experts at the late stage of internal strength, so we had no choice but to agree to set off."

"Upon arriving at Baicaopu, unsurprisingly, some members of our group, who were on good terms with Baicaopu, betrayed us and served as a warning to Baicaopu."

"The people from Baicaopu came out when they heard the commotion. We didn't want to fight, we just wanted to pretend, but we had no choice but to fight at that time."

"Later, the owner of the herbal shop and his eldest apprentice, both of whom were at the late stage of internal strength, were surrounded and killed."

"We are now being forced to hunt down the youngest daughter of the owner of the Herbal Shop. Rumor has it that the owner of the Herbal Shop once refined three divine pills that can save the dead, directly improve cultivation, and some even say improve one's physique."

"It seems the youngest daughter of the owner of the herbal shop has the last divine pill, which is why many people are searching for her!"

The man in black gave a brief account of the origins and development of the chaos that night.

He deliberately put himself in a position of being forced to do something, pretending to be coerced into doing it, because he was afraid that Wang Sheng was a master who was on good terms with Baicaopu.

"Herbal Shop!"

Wang Sheng frowned inwardly. The Hundred Herbs Shop was indeed extraordinary; it had connections and good relations with every major power in the city, and was responsible for refining many elixirs. The Blood Dragon Pill, the Crimson Blood Pill, and the Great Heaven-Mending Pill were all refined by the Hundred Herbs Shop.

If the Hundred Herbs Shop is gone, wouldn't the supply of these pills be greatly reduced?

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sword light burst forth from behind Wang Sheng.

The sword light was so fast that it flashed with a cold light, like a candle in the darkness, but in an instant, it transformed into thousands of sword shadows, densely packed, directly covering Wang Sheng.

This scene was truly astonishing, like an immortal wielding a sword, unleashing a barrage of ten thousand swords.

"Um?"

"That's pretty good!"

Wang Sheng turned to the side, his burly figure neither dodging nor avoiding the attack.

then,

He threw a punch.

Clang clang...

All the sword shadows quickly melted away and disappeared under the crushing force of the fist.

"not good!"

The sword's owner never expected that Wang Sheng wouldn't dodge, nor did he expect that Wang Sheng's fist would be so fast, shooting towards him like an arrow.

Peng!

The sword's owner was struck by a punch and, with an even faster, almost blurry speed, crashed heavily into the ground, creating a large crater, and fell silent.

"That's... the Shadowless Sword, Sun Zhan!"

The man in black trembled uncontrollably, his eyes filled with terror.

Sun Zhan, a peak mid-stage Dark Force cultivator, was a renowned figure among wandering cultivators, even able to escape from late-stage Dark Force cultivators with his Shadowless Sword. Yet, he was defeated by this giant with a single punch!

"Senior, senior, I'm still useful!"

The man in black suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly tried to demonstrate his worth.

Click!

however,

Wang Sheng's hand moved faster than he spoke, snapping his neck in one swift motion.

The light in the man in black's eyes quickly dimmed.

"Sorry, I was too fast!"

"Remember to speak faster in your next life. Get to the point!"

Wang Sheng said indifferently.

Actually,

Wang Sheng didn't think he was of any use anymore; keeping him around would only waste time.

"After strengthening the muscles, further training is needed to fully control this speed!"

Wang Sheng felt the surging power within his body and the terrifying speed poised to be unleashed, and he was very satisfied.

Ancient body-refining techniques might be the most suitable for him, as they are straightforward and do not require various fighting tricks and skills.

"A divine pill! It can enhance cultivation and improve one's physical constitution?"

Wang Sheng was quite skeptical of the last method's effectiveness in improving bone structure.

If it really works, coupled with his superb "comprehension," wouldn't he instantly become a true genius?

But the reality is that Zhao Jie never mentioned it to him.

The other powerful martial arts masters didn't seem worried that Zhao Jie would use this divine pill to improve their disciples' physique and transform them into geniuses.

Your own people may not want you to improve, but your enemies will never give you the chance to improve.

Therefore, judging from the indifference of the other martial arts masters, Wang Sheng felt that the divine pill's ability to modify one's physical constitution was fake.

Moreover, if it were useful, they would have used it long ago; why would they leave it to a martial artist at the late stage of internal strength for their daughter?

"Forget it, I'll just focus on my own cultivation."

After thinking for a while, Wang Sheng cleaned up the corpse and prepared to return to his cultivation.

"Found it!"

"Where is that little bitch! Don't let her get away!"

"Damn, she threw away tens of thousands of taels of silver notes."

suddenly,

A series of angry shouts came from afar, but by the time they reached Wang Sheng's ears, they had become very faint.

Wang Sheng remained calm as he looked into the distance. Under the moonlight, figures were rapidly converging on one spot.

Boom!

A sound like a cannonball exploding suddenly erupted.

Wang Sheng's massive body charged madly toward that place as if pushing down mountains of gold and collapsing jade pillars, collapsing a rooftop with each step.

"Where are the silver notes?"

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

"Those who block the way shall die!!!"
