evil tycoon

The giant rat was filled with terror.

That's a damn hard iron plate.

Oops.

It turned and ran away.

Just then, the monkey rushed out of the house. Although he was startled by the sight of the enormous rat, he was extremely excited after getting his revenge. With a loud roar, he crashed head-on into the giant rat.

Bang!

The giant rat wailed as it was pressed to the ground.

Han Ping'an snapped out of his daze and hissed, "Monkey, get out of the way."

The monkey, not understanding what was being said, immediately did as instructed.

Just as the giant rat was struggling to get up, it suddenly opened its mouth wide as if it had been electrocuted and began to convulse violently.

coming.

The familiar scene has returned.

The monkey nearly twitched at the sight, instinctively taking several steps back and staring intently at the giant rat. However, due to the fur, it failed to spot the bloodwing beetle hidden within the fur on the giant rat's side.

In just a few breaths.

The giant rat's limbs went limp, and it stopped breathing.

However, its enormous size and the invisible, menacing aura still made it terrifying.

  

"Where did this rat demon come from?"

The monkey came to its senses and felt a wave of fear.

Han Ping'an frowned slightly: "It should be following the smell of blood from earlier."

"Where's that guy?"

He glanced inside the room; Lin Gang was lying motionless on the ground.

The monkey grinned, "He's dead, that's letting him off easy."

Judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to have had enough fun yet.

Han Pingan shook his head slightly and said, "It's time to go back."

"Take your things and let's go."

"By the way, Ping An, we can't waste this rat demon's corpse." The monkey quickly said, "It has the Bone Refining level, the rat skin can be used to make inner armor, and the rat eyes can be used as medicine. It's worth at least a hundred taels."

Han Ping'an raised an eyebrow and casually picked up the rat demon.

"Walk."

The two left quickly.

A general store.

Although the shop door was closed, the candlelight inside could be seen through the crack in the door.

Han Ping'an and the monkey scaled the wall.

Just as he put his things down, Gu Ming came from the front hall.

Upon seeing the enormous demonic rat, they were immediately stunned: "Where did this rat demon come from?"

"Ming-ge, this rat demon was attracted by the smell of blood and tried to ambush us, so it turned into this."

"Rat skin and rat eyes are both good things," the monkey said with a grin.

"Tsk, you seem to know quite a lot."

Gu Ming nodded slightly. Just looking at the size of this rat demon, its skin and eyes were quite impressive.

"How is it?"

"all the best."

"There are about seven hundred taels of silver."

Han Pingan pointed to the box and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Over seven hundred taels? Good heavens, is Lin Gang really that wealthy?" Gu Ming was taken aback.

Gu Ming only realized what was going on after Han Ping'an explained the details.

Regardless, today was a very successful day.

This money all belongs to Han Ping'an.

In addition, the monkey owes a thousand taels.

"Brother Ming, this rat demon should be the one that fought the martial artists on Zhengqi Street earlier." After taking inventory, Han Ping'an looked at the corpse and laughed, "It can be considered revenge."

Gu Ming was startled, then chuckled in surprise, "That's really true."

He examined the rat demon's corpse and noticed the five bloody finger marks that tore from left to right on its body. His eyes twitched: "You brat, you really mastered the Blood Jade Bone-Corroding Claw?"

"Pretty much, I have to thank Li Dahe for that hand."

Han Ping'an's smile deepened. Today's battle with Lin Gang, as well as the attack by the demon rat, demonstrated the terrifying power of the Blood Jade Bone-Corroding Claw.

It's no exaggeration to say that in a head-on confrontation, even a fully refined Bone Master would cry out if hit.

The monkeys are actually the ones we should thank the most.

"Wow, it really worked?"

The monkey belatedly widened its eyes and stared intently at Han Ping'an's right hand.

Although Han Ping'an had already revealed it before, he didn't pay attention because of his desire for revenge.

Now that he had been reminded of this, and looking at the wounds on the demon rat's body, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"How long has it been?"

"Ping An, how about I give it a try?" the monkey asked curiously.

"OK."

Han Ping'an smiled and slowly raised his hand, his five fingers spread wide.

hum!

Blood gushed forth, as if cast from jade, revealing its ferocity and unparalleled sharpness.

Sensing only the aura, the monkey shivered, took a step back, and frantically shook its head: "Never mind, never mind."

His face turned pale.

The surging, fierce aura sent a chill down his spine.

Lin Gang couldn't even withstand a single move from him, so what's the point of trying?

Gu Ming stared at Han Ping'an's right hand, his face also solemn and his heart pounding.

A smile slowly spread across his face; he was genuinely happy for Han Ping'an.

"Thanks to the special Blood Jade Bone-Corroding Claw, you are now stronger than me. Even if you are not able to defeat someone who has reached the peak of Bone Refinement, you can still hold your own. You are quite a skilled fighter in Jing County."

They also have the ability to protect themselves in case of accidents.

However, Gu Ming was also somewhat surprised and incredulous at this moment.

The changes are too great, and the growth is too rapid.

It's somewhat unbelievable.

"Ming-ge, are you going out again tonight?" Han Ping'an asked, concealing the blood on his hands and changing the subject.

"I'm not going out today."

Gu Ming snapped out of his daze, glanced at the corpse and the box on the ground, and said, "It's getting late. You can do whatever you want with the money in this box. Monkey, stay with me and watch the shop for a while longer. You can go and rest."

"OK."

Han Ping'an didn't waste any time.

The shop isn't short of money; with this money, my cultivation will be completely prosperous.

The monkey had no complaints; it had avenged its great grudge, especially after torturing Lin Gang to the point of wishing it were dead, and was currently in a state of high excitement.

Han Pingan waved his hand and turned to go back into the house.

The next day.

When he woke up in the morning, there were monkeys guarding the shop, so Han Ping'an practiced martial arts in the backyard without any distractions.

"Welcome to Ping An General Store."

"What would you like to order, sir?"

"Who are you?"

"Huh? Who are you?"

Hearing the commotion ahead, Han Ping'an stopped cultivating and walked quickly towards it.

Gu Ping'an stood in the front hall, looking at the monkey with a puzzled expression.

Han Ping'an quickly said, "Uncle Ping'an, he is Monkey."

"He was a customer of the shop before. I happened to save him a while ago. He had nowhere else to go, so he stayed at the shop."

Before this, Gu Ming pretended to go out to find Lao Gu, but Lao Gu was unaware of it.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ping'an met Han Ping'an's gaze, his heart stirred, and he looked at the monkey and said indifferently, "So it was you."

The monkey's expression changed slightly; his previous casualness vanished instantly, replaced by tension and unease.

It was obvious that this was no ordinary middle-aged man, but the owner of the grocery store.

"The shopkeeper is very kind."

The monkey was extremely respectful.

Gu Ping'an remained expressionless, then suddenly walked to the counter and stared intently at the monkey.

"look up."

The calm voice sounded like a thunderclap to the monkey. It subconsciously looked up and met Gu Ping'an's indifferent eyes. The monkey trembled and its eyes were filled with disbelief.

The murderous aura was overwhelming, and the momentum was like a raging torrent.

Its blazing and fierce power is as dazzling as the sun.

The monkey let out a scream, its eyes rolled back, and it fainted on the spot, its body limp and sliding behind the counter.

Gu Pingan nodded in satisfaction.

Han Ping'an was stunned.

Glug!

He couldn't help but swallow. He hadn't felt anything, so how did he faint?

The monkey was at least at the mid-stage of Bone Refinement, yet it fainted from just one glance?

This is this...

Gu Ming was at the late stage of Bone Refinement. He knew Gu Ping'an wouldn't be weak, but he didn't expect him to be so terrifyingly strong.

Gu Ping'an turned to look at him and said, "Where's Gu Ming? You two kids have been quietly taking in an outsider. What's going on?"

Han Ping'an gave an embarrassed smile and quickly began to explain.

After learning everything, Gu Pingan was dumbfounded.

So, one played the bad cop and the other the good cop, and they fooled a poor guy who worked hard for the shop and ended up with a mountain of debt.
