Chapter 103: Harvest
he Black Tiger Army is to immediately attack the barbarian tribes. There must be no mistakes!"“General, recklessly attacking the barbarians carries significant risks. If things go wrong, our army wil...Even in broad daylight, he detected a powerful ominous aura emanating from the well, suspecting that some demon or evil spirit lurked within.

It's just that demons hide at the bottom of the well, unless the entire well is filled in, it's difficult to force them out.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As for going deep into the well.
That is even more impossible.
The well is narrow and deep. Even if it were Shen Changqing himself, he wouldn't be confident in facing the possible demons lurking within.
Greater possibility.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He will die at the hands of demons himself.
That's it.
Shen Changqing pretended not to notice and left with Liu Jian.
> I returned here again in the dead of night to see if any demons would appear.
As expected.
Now, upon my return to this place, the demon has made its appearance.
Walking towards the shadow, Shen Changqing's right hand was already on the hilt of his sword at his waist, his eyes as calm as a still pond.
"Shen actually felt quite curious, wondering what purpose you all had for staying in Jin City"
“If you were going to kill someone, you could have just done it directly. And knowing that Shen was here, you still didn't leave. Could it be that you have other cards up your sleeve”
He spoke those words, but his feet never stopped moving.
In the darkness.
A dark shadow repeatedly struck the water, and a person seemed to be talking to the air. Such a scene made people feel eerie.
When Shen Changqing had finished speaking.
The shadows offered no reply, and he gave up hope of gleaning any information from them.
Now.
Shen Changqing had already stood completely in front of the shadow, and he could see clearly what its true form was.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
It was a face like parchment, white and blank, with no eyes or nose.
If an ordinary person saw it, they would be shocked in an instant.
But as for Shen Changqing,
Though the demon before me is terrifying, I was well-prepared.
Suddenly.
Countless black threads emerged from the well, spreading out like a large net to envelop Shen Changqing.
Shining——
The long sword unsheathed, and the Tianwu zhenqi from the dantian exploded directly, attaching itself to the blade.

in an instant.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Cold Moon Blade's frosty blade seemed to be burning red hot as if forged in a furnace. When it slashed down, all the black threads were melted by the intense heat.
Next.
Shen Changqing took a step forward, his left hand suddenly striking out.
Iron Sand Palm!
The palm of his hand was red, a burning manifestation of the accumulated poison.
>
The demon also sensed the threat, its grip on the rope tightened for a moment, then it forcefully flung it out. A wave of foul stench immediately hit them in the face.
Now.
Only then did Shen Changqing see clearly what the so-called rope was.
That was a intestine stained with dark blood, emitting a foul odor.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
In a flash.
He moved his feet directly, dodging the attack.
It wasn't out of fear, it was just because it was too disgusting.
If one were to let the intestines writhe on their own body, that feeling... even just thinking about it, Shen Changqing felt a surge of nausea.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Heaven-Shaking Earthly Steps!
With feet firmly planted on the Heavenly Pillars and Big Dipper, he moved his body in a strange direction to dodge the demon's attack.
At the same time, her offensive didn't cease. Leng Yue's blade fiercely slashed out.
Alone in the thick of battle!
An overwhelming surge of killing intent erupted, crashing towards the demons like a tidal wave.
In an instant.
The demon's body seemed to freeze for a moment, then the Cold Moon Saber slashed down.
“Ah—”
The demon shrieked in a shrill voice, only to be split in two by the long sword, vanishing like smoke.
A familiar feeling came over me.
Shen Changqing looked at the panel below.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
What was originally only two points of killing intent now surged to twelve.
"Ten points of carnage, not bad!"
He had a faint smile on his face upon seeing the increase in his killing score.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The only pity is.
At twelve o'clock, the killing value was activated, but the Heavenly Martial Qi remained at a state that could not be improved.
It can be seen.
The breakthrough of Heavenly Martial Qi from the fifteenth to sixteenth layer is also a significant leap.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
So far, all martial arts advancements consume killing points in several stages. The first stage is from novice to almost mastery, and the other is from mastery onwards, reaching a certain level.
Just like the training of the Thirteen Taibao and the cultivation of Heavenly Martial Qi, they generally progress from a complete state to a breakthrough at the fifteenth layer, which represents a significant leap. From the sixteenth to nineteenth layers, it's another stage of development.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When breaking through from the nineteenth to the twentieth layer, the consumption will increase significantly again.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Right now, my Tianwu Qi is at the end of the second stage and about to enter the third. I wonder how many killing points are needed to advance to the sixteenth level.”
Shen Changqing shook his head. In the past, even a low-grade eerie monster could raise his level by one or two levels, which was undoubtedly a happy thing.
And now.
The killing points contributed by a monstrous creature of the Netherworld are no longer able to allow for a leap in one's strength as they could before.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's it.
Though he felt regret in his heart, he was also well-prepared.
The higher the realm.
The greater the improvement, the higher the consumption.
The law of conservation holds true everywhere.
Concentrating his mind, Shen Changqing sensed the surrounding sinister qi. Although it was still thick, he could clearly feel that the intense sinister qi was slowly dissipating.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
The source of the sinister qi here comes from demons.
Now that the demons have been slain, it means there is no source left.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Lost its source.
The remaining sinister aura, like a rootless water hyacinth, would naturally dissipate slowly.
After taking a look around, Shen Changqing left his original spot and hurried towards the next place.
Since the demons choose to kill at night, he will slay them at night, eradicating all evil in Jin City.
Now.
Shen Changqing has absolute confidence in his own abilities.
As he left, the shrill and piercing scream of the demon echoed into the surrounding houses.
Here is the translated text:

When many people heard the screams, their faces turned pale, and they hid in their blankets, trembling with fear, not daring to move.
"Dad, how about we move tomorrow!"

In a dwelling, two people lay on a bed. One woman's face was pale, clearly shaken by something frightening.
Beside him stood another elderly man.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although his face was as pale as hers, the man forced himself to calm down after hearing her words and scolded in a low voice.
“Go Where could we possibly go Right now, there are demons and disasters everywhere in the Qin Dynasty. We’re doing alright here in Jin City, protected by the Black Tiger Army and the government officials. When a demon or disaster strikes, if we’re lucky, we might not even get caught in it.”
Those villages outside the city are fine when nothing happens, but once a demon wreaks havoc, it's always the entire village wiped out without a single survivor.
That's all I have to say.
>
The man's pale face also showed a look of sorrow.
This is the tragedy of ordinary people in troubled times.
Life is as fragile as an ant, and one misstep could lead to death at the hands of demons.
Inside Jincheng, there are at least imperial troops stationed, so the safety factor is much higher than outside.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If one leaves Jin City.
Back then, they died without even knowing how.
After being scolded, the woman dared not say another word.
A moment later.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The man again said, "Tomorrow, I won't send the child to the private school if he doesn't go to the martial arts academy."
"Martial arts school"
The woman's face changed.
“My child, the training fees at the martial arts academy are quite expensive, and people say that practicing martial arts also costs a lot of money. If we let our child train in martial arts, I'm afraid we won't be able to afford it!”
Poor in literature, rich in martial arts.
The cost of martial arts training is not something that ordinary people can afford.
The man upon hearing this shook his head. "I understand what you're saying," he said, "but what other choice is there besides martial arts training If studying could lead to passing the imperial examinations and achieving official rank, that would be a way out."
However, the Qin Dynasty's civil service examination, with so many scholars across the land, how many actually achieved success and gained official positions
Now that I teach martial arts, I don't expect him to achieve great things. All I ask is that he have a skill to rely on. If demons ever wreak havoc, it will give him a few more ways to protect himself.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Such a time.
To live is the greatest value.
As for this, the man saw it very clearly.
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, then continued: "And I heard that if you achieve something in the martial arts hall, not only do you not have to pay tuition fees, but you can also receive financial assistance from the martial arts hall."
After truly becoming a master swordsman, one could even seek a position within the martial arts hall.
Those martial artists, it is said, earn at least one or two silver taels a month.
"One or two taels of silver!"
The woman was startled.
A couple of silver coins a month, that was a fortune! The man's words clearly moved her.
After working hard for a whole month, the two of them only earned a few coins.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about this. I have my own ideas. Tomorrow, I'll go to the martial arts hall and inquire about the cost of becoming a disciple. I think our current savings should be enough."
If we don't have enough, we can only borrow some from our neighbors. We'll pay them back when we have money later.
"Um."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The woman said nothing more.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gradually, the sound of their conversation died down, and soon there was a faint snore.
Whoosh—
The long sword slashed down, and a demon let out a shrill scream before being forcefully beheaded.
With the blade sheathed, Shen Changqing looked at the killing value on the panel, a smile spreading across his face.
"Another one!"
"Counting this one, it's already the third demon. Looks like tonight's harvest is going to be extraordinary."
The three-headed demonic entity's contribution to the kill count is higher than that of a normal vengeful demon.
>
That can be said.
With the contribution of three-headed demonic beasts' kill value, martial arts breakthrough is no longer a big problem.
Just glanced at the sky, it's only been less than an hour.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Shen Changqing once again felt the lingering yin qi, and then left to go to the next place.
Many people died last night.
During the day, he and Liu Jian went to six places together.
Of course.
Not every place has demons lingering there.
To this day, Shen Changqing has only been to four places, but he has only found three demonic beasts.
As for the other two spots, he wasn't too particular. Having another monster there would be more than enough to satisfy him. relying on the power of the immortal path. But now that the human clan has declined, they have no choice but to rely on the divine path.”>But in my view, Shinto has always been the wrong path. Only X...
