The Little Demonic Cultivator in the Courtyard: Borrowing 100,000 Japanese Pirates to Heal

Meanwhile, the girl began to beg for mercy, crying and sobbing, which only fueled the Japanese soldiers' bestial instincts.

Xu Jiande panicked and prepared to rush over, but unexpectedly, the Blood Ancestor suddenly said, "Interesting, this girl is no ordinary person."

"An ordinary person would be paralyzed with fear if they were held down by three fierce-looking thugs. This girl is begging for mercy, but she doesn't seem very panicked. Don't worry, let's wait a little longer."

Xu Jiande, however, didn't care and immediately said, "Who cares who she is? The Japanese are bullying her, I have to go help right away."

The Blood Ancestor was about to say something, but suddenly changed his mind and said, "You do have some guts. Fine, I'll teach you your first lesson: the most important thing in a sneak attack is to take down the opponent's strongest one."

Xu Jiande's gaze swept over the three Japanese soldiers.

The one covering the woman's mouth was a sergeant; the other two stood by with guns in their hands, watching.

"Take out the sergeant first. Once he's dead, the other two will at least be in a state of panic for a moment."

Xu Jiande nodded, took a deep breath, and then rushed out.

This time it was faster than last time.

The heat current of demonic energy within his body sensed his killing intent, surged out from his dantian, and rushed through his blood vessels to his limbs.

He felt as if his legs were springs, and every step he took was lighter and more powerful than before.

It was a feeling that was hard to describe.

He covered the ten-meter distance in about a second.

The sergeant had just turned around when he heard footsteps when Xu Jiande's bayonet was already piercing his throat.

The knife tip pierced through the left side of the Adam's apple, angled upwards, through the base of the tongue, and all the way to the bottom of the skull.

The sergeant's eyes bulged out suddenly, and he opened his mouth as if to shout, but only a "clucking" sound came out of his throat, as if something was blocked in the water pipe.

Blood spurted from the knife wound, splattering all over Xu Jiande's face.

He drew his bayonet, and before the sergeant's body had completely fallen, Xu Jiande had already pounced on the second Japanese soldier.

This Japanese soldier reacted faster than the two who had just fought.

He took a step back and picked up the Type 38 rifle.

"Bang!"

A shot rang out.

Xu Jiande dodged to the side, and the bullet grazed his shoulder, knocking off the corner of a blue brick on the wall.

Broken brick fragments splashed on his face, stinging slightly, but Xu Jiande didn't care.

There was no time to think about these things; the bayonet thrust out again.

The blow actually landed on the Japanese soldier's arm. He slashed horizontally with the bayonet blade, like chopping wood.

The demonic energy surged out along the blade, and the bayonet's edge drew an invisible arc in the air.

The blade sliced ​​through the sleeve of the military uniform, cut into the flesh, and only stopped when it reached the bone.

The Japanese soldier had a deep, bone-revealing wound on his arm, and his Type 38 rifle fell from his hand, hitting the bluestone slab with a crisp sound.

Xu Jiande slashed again, this time at the neck.

He didn't have time to study swordsmanship; he relied entirely on brute force and instinct.

The Japanese soldier's neck was cut in half, and blood gushed out from the severed blood vessels like a pot of boiling water.

The last Japanese soldier quickly retreated, raising his rifle in preparation to fire.

That's pretty good manners. At that moment, the woman shouted, "Don't chase!" and then threw a grenade.

With a loud "boom," the grenade exploded, killing the last Japanese soldier instantly.

This also surprised Xu Jiande greatly. If he had chased after him, he would have been injured at the very least, and might have even died.

The girl then became a completely different person, saying to Xu Jiande, "Quickly pick up the Japanese weapons, hurry up and retreat, the Japanese are coming!"

Xu Jiande paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

He quickly walked to the bodies of the two Japanese soldiers and began to pick up their weapons.

Xu Jiande bent down and took a pistol from the sergeant, and then took two hand grenades from the other two Japanese soldiers.

In the current context, this is definitely a valuable resource, a strategic material.

After finishing all that, Xu Jiande turned around and saw that the woman was also staring at him, asking him to give her the grenade.

Xu Jiande thought to himself, "This woman is truly extraordinary."

He remained calm even when bullied by three Japanese soldiers, and when he saw a stranger kill two Japanese soldiers, he even knew to throw a grenade to help.

He took another look and felt that the other person looked more and more familiar, so he took the initiative to say, "Miss, I am from Shangcheng District, my name is Xu Jiande, what is your name?"

The other person glanced at him and said, "My surname is Bai." However, they didn't give their given name.

Xu Jiande was completely stunned.

I finally remembered who this young woman was. It was Bai Ling. No wonder she looked so familiar.

At the same time, it's strange that Bai Ling, the female lead of "Glorious Times," has also come to the world of "Birds in the Courtyard."

However, now is not a good time to speak. He said, "Miss Bai is right. We must leave here quickly. The Japanese devils are coming soon."

Bai Ling nodded and said, "Come with me."

They then went to a nearby room that had been partially destroyed by artillery fire, found a tunnel, and jumped inside.

Xu Jiande became even more curious, but he still followed them.

Knowing that this is Bai Ling, she probably won't harm him.

The tunnel wasn't large, requiring one to bend over slightly. Afterwards, Bai Ling instructed Xu Jiande to seal the tunnel entrance, then, carrying a torch, continued inside.

Xu Jiande was happy to see this happen. As he walked, he felt the demonic energy surging within his body, giving him an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

The warm current inside my body became more pronounced.

If killing those three at Lugou Bridge was like a piece of burning charcoal, now it's like a blazing stove.

He felt heat surging from his dantian, rising up his spine, and as it passed through his chest, he could feel his heart beating more strongly.

The heat continues to rise, reaching the back of the head, then descends, returning to the lower abdomen.

This is a complete loop.

The moment this cycle was completed, Xu Jiande felt a significant change in his body.

First of all, he's strong; I feel like I could kill a Japanese soldier with one punch.

Secondly, there's the sensory aspect; besides the smell of blood, there's a faint smell of coal ash in the air.

His eyes could see much more clearly in the dimly lit alley than before, as if he had gained some night vision.

This made Xu Jiande, who came from 2026, feel as if he had gained superpowers.

"You felt it?" The Blood Ancestor's voice carried a hint of pride. "This is the sign of entering the realm of demonic arts: the circulation of demonic energy. Just now, that heat flow completed a full cycle within your body, and your muscles, meridians, and flesh were all tempered by the demonic energy."

"Although it's just the most basic tempering, it's already a complete transformation for your mortal body."

Xu Jiande stretched his shoulders.

The wound from the shell explosion no longer hurts, but the scab on my back seems a bit harder than before.

He then asked, "How many Japanese soldiers can I take on at the same time now?"

There's no other way; survival and increasing strength are the top priorities right now.

Blood Ancestor was speechless. Why are you asking me this? Shouldn't you be asking yourself?

What a weakling! How did he manage to fail at possessing someone?

But he still patiently taught him, saying, "Two or three is no problem. You will definitely win one-on-one, you have the advantage one-on-two, and you can win one-on-three as long as you are not surrounded. But if the other side has guns, and more than one gun, you are in great danger, and you will definitely die."

Xu Jiande was speechless. So he was in real danger just now. That old bastard.

The Blood Demon Ancestor seemed unaware of Xu Jiande's thoughts and continued his instruction, "The demonic energy tempering of the Qi Refining Realm can't stop a rifle bullet. If a bullet hits a vital point, you'll still die."

This can be considered well-intentioned advice.

After all, Xu Jiande is dead, and he can't live either.

There was no other way. The Blood Nether Ancestor couldn't help but sigh, "It's pitiful that my thousand years of cultivation are now tied to a mere mortal, sharing life and death."

After walking for a while, Bai Ling stopped and said to Xu Jiande, "Mr. Xu, if you go up from here, there's a tunnel. You can leave without worry. After you get out, you can cover yourself up a bit more."

Xu Jiande was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Miss Bai, aren't you coming out with me?"

Bai Ling shook her head and said, "I have to go now. See you again sometime."

Then they quickly walked back.

This surprised Xu Jiande, but since Bai Ling was unwilling to talk about it, he couldn't force her to.

Moreover, he guessed that Bai Ling was here on another mission. After all, she was a member of a major party, and he didn't even need to rescue her just now, or perhaps rescuing her might have disrupted some of her plans.

But since things have come to this, there's nothing else we can do.

Xu Jiande walked up a few steps, approached the tunnel entrance, found a large wooden plank, pushed it, and carefully looked around, but found nothing unusual.

I went outside and found that the exit was behind the public toilet.

Xu Jiande still vaguely remembered this public toilet; it was only one alley away from his courtyard house.
