Longevity begins with refining blood essence

Chapter 8: The Three God-Slaying Swords
The whole place was in dead silence. No one expected that Fang Chen would suddenly do this.

"Sixth Master...Sixth Master is dead!"

The bandits were instantly thrown into panic and the morale of the army was in chaos.

The yamen soldiers took the opportunity to counterattack and regain the upper hand.

"Do not--!"

A woman at the street corner saw this scene and let out a shrill scream.

"I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!"

She wanted to rush over, but was stopped by other bandits.

"Eighth Miss, the reinforcements from the government office are coming soon. Sixth Master is dead. Go quickly."

"No, I want to avenge my sixth brother."

"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. We still have to stay here to collect the body of the Sixth Master. We cannot show off our power for a moment. Let's go!"

After being carried and dragged by several bandits, the woman finally disappeared in the crowd. The other bandits also fled quickly, leaving only a pile of corpses on the street.

The common people who had been hiding before now rushed out again, cheering and clapping, showing no fear at all.

Fang Chen quietly began to use his ability to plunder the essence and blood.

【Plundered 54 points of blood essence.】

【Plundered 102 points of blood essence.】

【Plundered 23 points of blood essence.】

As expected, he is one of the Eight Vajras of Hutou Mountain. Lu Qinggang alone has more than 100 points of blood and essence, and the rest of his men also have much more than other bandits and criminals.

You know, Fang Chen has been using essence and blood to deduce martial arts, and he has been learning it for more than two hundred years, and he has only condensed more than a hundred points of essence and blood.

After the melee ended, everyone returned to the county government office. Chen Gang walked in carrying a heavy cloth bag, and everyone's eyes lit up.

"Boss, today's salary is quite a lot."

"Haha, there are more than a lot of people, and some people even gave rewards."

The executioner has a few sources of gray income. One is the family of the prisoner, who will give some silver so that the executioner can behead the prisoner with one stroke, avoid torturing the prisoner and let the prisoner go painlessly, or so that the executioner can spare some flesh and not cut off all of it.

The other was to behead the most vicious criminals, to vent the anger of the common people whose relatives had been persecuted by the criminals, and to receive some reward, but most of them came from wealthy families.

In addition, Fang Chen had also heard that if the county government colluded with others and wanted to kill a scapegoat, they would also give money.

It is said that this kind of scapegoat has a lot of resentment, and the reward may be more than the previous two. The main purpose is to eliminate disasters and difficulties for officials who have taken benefits, and bear the consequences.

Chen Gang distributed the money, with each person getting one or two taels of silver on average. Everyone immediately became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. The fear they had been frightened by Lu Qinggang before was completely forgotten, and they clamored to go to Chunnuan Tower to kill everyone tonight.

Fang Chen actually got ten taels of silver.

"Chentou, is this...?"

Chen Gang smiled.

"Think it's too much? Take it. This is the reward from the county magistrate. The county magistrate wants you to come over."

"The county magistrate is looking for me?"

Chen Gang nodded.

"Go quickly, there's good news."

Fang Chen pondered for a moment and soon arrived at the county magistrate's study.

"Master Chen."

The county magistrate's surname was Chen, and his name was Shouren. He passed the imperial examination in his early years and has been working in Jianghai City ever since. But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Fang Chen can't see through him.

This county magistrate is an expert!
Hearing his voice, the county magistrate put down his pen and said:

"You did a great job today. You decisively beheaded Lu Qinggang and performed a great deed."

"I am just doing my job."

Chen Shouren nodded, and appreciated Fang Chen's humility even more.

It is not enough to have courage and means. Humility can often make people live longer.

"From today on, you will be transferred from the executioner to the fast squad and become a constable."

So this is the good thing that Boss Chen was talking about.

"Thank you, sir."

"I heard that you like to practice martial arts. I have a book of sword techniques here. I made some achievements with this sword technique in my early years. I will give it to you today."

Fang Chen thanked him again and then left the county magistrate's study.

After he left, Chen Shouren looked at his back and murmured to himself:

"This boy has a good character and is a good candidate. If I train him well, he might be able to help me clean up the filth in Jianghai City. But I don't know how good his comprehension is. Let's use this sword technique to test his talent in martial arts first."

After leaving, Fang Chen immediately started practicing this sword technique.

"The level of the Nine Styles of Tyrant Sword is not low."

Fang Chen, who has already made considerable progress in cultivation, can tell the quality of a technique at a glance.

He had no relatives or connections, and although he killed Lu Qinggang, if it were anyone else, he would have been sent off with just a few taels of silver at most.

But the county magistrate transferred him to the position of constable and also gave him a sword technique as a gift, perhaps he had other intentions.

Fang Chen didn't feel very happy. As his strength grew, his sixth sense became stronger.

For some reason, when he killed Lu Qinggang today, he felt a little depressed. In short, he felt something was not quite right.

This is the first time I have felt this way since I came to this world. The robbers who robbed the prisoners today should not be able to do this. Their strength is much worse than mine.

"Could it be that the guy will really turn into a ghost?"

Fang Chen thought of Lu Qinggang’s last words before he died.

Although he had never seen the so-called evil ghosts and monsters since traveling through time, the martial arts level of this world was obviously far superior to that of his previous life. His current strength was comparable to the sweeping monk in the novels of his previous life, with skin of steel and bones, and was invulnerable to all poisons. In addition, since he had traveled through time, Fang Chen was still willing to believe in the ghosts and gods of this world.

And now, there is another county magistrate with unfathomable power, and it is not clear whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"This is all because I'm not strong enough."

Shaking his head and sighing, Fang Chen quickly integrated the sword technique into his mind, and then started refining his essence and blood again to improve and deduce his Tiangang sword technique.

Let’s take a hundred years first.

[In the first year, you continued to strengthen your Tiangang sword skills. Because you comprehended the Nine Styles of Tyrant Sword, a flash of inspiration flashed in your mind.]

[In the twentieth year, you begin to determine your direction and gradually simplify the complex knife techniques, condensing all knife techniques and simplifying them.]

[In the forty-seventh year, you finally materialized that aura and combined it with the innate energy to create a new technique. You were bad at naming things, but you only came up with the name "Three God-Slaying Sabres". Because this technique only has three moves. Although it only has three moves, it is the culmination of several sword techniques you have combined, and it is extremely powerful.]

[In the 100th year, you practiced the Three God-Slaying Sabres to perfection.]

"I have finally succeeded in my deduction. The Three God-Slaying Swords can definitely be called the strongest swordsmanship in the entire Jianghai City. Although it may still be inferior to the entire Daqian, sooner or later, I will surpass this world."
