After Eating half the leg her pace slowed down.
Jiang Yuechu actually didn't like eating pork so the taste was rather unpleasent for her. but as piece after piece of roasted meat went down, the warm current rising in her stomach grew more turbulent.
The hunger was rapidly fading.
She broke off another piece, about to put it in her mouth.But her movements suddenly froze.
Hmm?
She stopped, closed her eyes, and carefully felt the changes within her body.
Something was wrong.
Very wrong.
The hunger in her belly had long vanished; logically, her body's Qi and blood should have been mostly replenished.Yet, the warm current not only didn't stop but intensified.
Like docile little snakes, they swam through her Meridians, continuously flushing and widening the original channels.
This... Jiang Yuechu suddenly opened her eyes, looking down at the still-dripping roasted meat in her hand, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
This Demon flesh and blood doesn't just restore Qi and blood.It can also... increase the upper limit of cultivation?!
A daring thought, making her heart pound, exploded in her mind.
Slay Demons, gain Dao Cultivation, use it to upgrade the hundred demons compendium.
Consume Demons, increase Qi and blood, use it to strengthen one's own Foundation.Damn it!
She no longer cared about the disgusting gamey smell, and grabbed the remaining half of the pig leg, and devoured it.
Eat!
As long as it makes her stronger, let alone pig Demon meat, even... forget it, that won't do.
One hind leg was quickly finished.
Jiang Yuechu licked her greasy fingers, still wanting more, and her gaze fell upon the two massive corpses outside the ruined temple.
She stood up, knife in hand, and strode over.
Tonight, no one is getting any sleep!...
The last pig bone was tossed into the fire, turning to charcoal.
Jiang Yuechu let out a long belch of turbid Qi, the white mist scattering in the crisp morning breeze.
A full three days.
Two Hearing The String Realm pig Demons, skin and bone, except for a few pieces that were truly too tough to chew, were all swallowed by her.
At this moment, she only felt the Qi and blood surging within her body, like a great river, flushing through her Meridians.
She even felt that her Realm was about to touch the next threshold.
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Jiang Yuechu's mouth.
Not bad.
Any improvement is a good thing
.She couldn't help but think of the Tiger Mountain God and Green-Faced Gentleman's corpses again; such large masses, just left in the wilderness, it was simply a waste of natural resources.
"What a pity for all that good meat." She shook her head, casting this small regret out of her mind.
"What I gain is my fortune, what I lose is my fate.It's fine if I didn't know before, I'll pay attention from now on.For now, the most important thing is the Demon in Jincheng County."
She had been delayed here for three days, and she didn't know if that fellow was still there but there was no other way.If she dragged the remaining corpses along, it would be too cumbersome and too conspicuous.
Dispelling the distracting thoughts in her mind, Jiang Yuechu stood up and patted the dust off her backside.
"Let's go, old friend, time for work." The horse heard her, raised its head, and stopped chewing the grass roots.It glanced at Jiang Yuechu.
"Hey, you beast, you dare to give me attitude?"Jiang Yuechu chuckled, walked over and patted its face, "You've eaten and drunk your fill, it's time to move, or you'll really turn into a pig." The horse snorted reluctantly, silently accepting its tragic fate.
One person and one horse once again set off on the official road to Jincheng City
...----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The City gates of Jincheng County were wide open, like a dead man's gaping mouth.
More than a dozen Red-Eyed Colts, completely black, entered the City.Leading them were two men.
One was older, about forty, with a steady demeanor.
The other was much younger, with a hint of sharpness in his brows and eyes.
"This smell..."The young man frowned, reined in his horse, and fanned his hand in front of his nose.
The wind carried an indescribable stench; even though he had witnessed many horrifying scenes, this smell was truly unpleasant.
Xu Nian's expression remained unchanged, merely saying faintly, "You'll get used to the smell."
On both sides of the street, the doors and windows of the houses were mostly dilapidated.In corners and by the roadside, solidified black bloodstains were visible everywhere.
The young man also gripped his saber hilt, saying in a deep voice, "Everyone be careful. It's said this Demon calls itself the Black-Clothed Sword Immortal, its Sword Qi is rampant, and it has already reached Bone Resonance."
Bone Resonance.
These two words made the breathing of the dozen or so Imperial Guards behind him slightly catch.
"Search separately."Xu Nian gave the order, "Three people per group. If you find anything unusual, send a signal immediately. Remember, don't be reckless."
"Yes!"Everyone responded, quickly splitting into several teams and galloping in different directions.
Xu Nian and the young man, leading one other person, slowly advanced along the main street.
"Brother Xu, what do you think this Demon wants?"The young man lowered his voice, puzzled, "Slaughtering villages, occupying cities, it doesn't even eat them. Could it be trying to become king of the mountains?"
"Who knows." Xu Nian shook his head, "Don't try to guess the intentions of Demons. In the end, it always comes down to two words."
"Which two words?" The young man asked while watching the shadows for any suspects of the slaughter.
"Seeking death." Xu Nian said as he gripped his saber's hilt.
The young man fell silent.
Yes, this was the meaning of the Demon Suppression Division's existence.
No matter what kind of great Demon, what kind of Divine Ability you possess, if you dare to be so presumptuous in Human Race territory, there is only one path: death.
They turned a street corner, and before them was a private school.
The door had collapsed, and more than a dozen small corpses lay scattered inside, all children aged seven or eight.
A white-haired old scholar had been pinned to the wall through his eye socket with a writing brush.
On the wall beneath him, two lines of crooked, bloody characters were written.
The young man's eye twitched, just as he was about to read what the two lines said.
A grating dragging sound came from the end of the long street.The three men suddenly looked up.
A massive black figure slowly emerged from the swirling dust.
Pig head, human body.
Blood covered its huge pig face, and its eyes were filled with brutal scarlet.
On its shoulder, it carried a thick wooden stake, and at the top of the stake, a ragged woman was suspended upside down by iron chains.
The woman was still struggling, making muffled sounds, evidently having had something cut from her.
"Beast!"Liu Chen roared, immediately ready to draw his saber.
However, a hand pressed heavily on his saber hilt.
Xu Nian shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the figure at the end of the street.He sat high on his horse, his voice calm.
"Black-Clothed Sword Immortal?"The pig Demon did not deny it, baring its mouth to reveal a mouthful of tusks.
"I originally came to look for traces of my son, but I inadvertently caught a scent, so I came in to investigate." Its scarlet eyes swept over the three of them, finally resting on Xu Nian.
"Unexpectedly... it really is the Demon Suppression Division."
The young man's expression was strange.
Son?This Demon, has a son?
Xu Nian's face remained expressionless, he merely said faintly, "I don't know what son you're talking about, and I don't care about your son." He paused, his tone icy
."Now, release her, and I will make your death easier."
The pig Demon's gaze also completely turned cold.It said nothing more.Nor did it need to say anything more.
People from the Demon Suppression Division appeared nearby.
Its two good-for-nothing sons were likely already in dire straits.
A monstrous killing intent erupted from its body.
