Spare his life!
The sound was transmitted to my ears, but I only heard these words.
Li Ming turned a deaf ear.
With this strike, Li Ming's killing intent was unwavering; he would never stop.
Blood Old Five killed so many of his colleagues and humiliated him in every way.
How can we not kill them?
Most importantly, regardless of whether Xue Laowu knows his secret or not, his existence is ultimately a hidden danger.
Both publicly and privately, today, Blood Old Five,
Must die!
The third strike was swift and decisive, extinguishing Blood Old Five's last glimmer of hope without the slightest hesitation.
His last bit of breath couldn't withstand the blow.
One stroke and he was beheaded.
Known in the martial arts world as the Swift Sword Blood Thief, Fifth Brother, he was slain today in Qing Shi City by Li Ming, a body-forging martial artist!
[Slay Xiao Qing and gain 800 Life Energy.]
Name: Xiao Qing (Blood Fifth)
[Realm Level: Qi Refining Stage 4]
[Entries]: [Sword fanatic (green), Martial spirit (white), Heartless and ruthless (white), Grasshopper (white), Short-lived (gray), Sickly (gray), Inner demons (gray)]
[By reversing fate, one of its entries can be seized and made one's own.]
To steal a term?
Li Ming didn't have time to figure out what was going on. He frowned because he realized that the person who had spoken earlier had quietly arrived.
Li Ming pretended to be breathing rapidly, panting heavily, as if he had used all his strength.
I turned around.
They stared in shock at the newcomer. He was handsome and had an extraordinary presence. Although he was over thirty years old, his good looks were undiminished. On the contrary, he exuded a mature and dashing charm.
Then I noticed that he was dressed as a constable, with gold trim embroidered on his clothes.
Li Ming recalled for a second, his fear subsiding. The newcomer was none other than Lin Qiancheng, the chief constable of Qing Shi City.
Lin Qiancheng showed no dissatisfaction that Li Ming hadn't sheathed his sword. Instead, he patted Li Ming's shoulder several times and calmly said:
"Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you. It's just that the intelligence was wrong this time, and so many brothers died. Wouldn't it be too easy for him to just die?"
"I was originally planning to have someone torture him properly, as there might still be some information we could extract from him. But you've already killed him, so consider him a lucky escape."
"You did a good job this time, using your body to reverse the Qi cultivation. I will naturally reward you handsomely and recommend you for credit."
"Go and rest first. See me tomorrow."
After Lin Qiancheng finished speaking, he did not wait for Li Ming to reply, and began to direct the other constables to deal with the scene of the fight.
The battle left the surrounding area in ruins, demonstrating how dangerous it was.
Seeing that Lin Qiancheng had no other intentions, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the excuse I had prepared is useless now.
Watching the chief constable's retreating figure, Li Ming nodded. Everyone said that the chief constable of Qing Shi City was approachable and often guided the constables in their cultivation. Now it seemed that this was indeed true.
It is said that the chief constable's cultivation has reached the seventh rank of the Qi Condensation stage, which is infinitely close to the Grandmaster level.
It ranks among the top three in Qing Shi City.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see the other person's interface, since the other person was two major realms higher than him.
Otherwise, you can also see what the other party is really thinking.
According to the explanation of the cheat code, as Li Ming's strength increases, his abilities will also become stronger and more numerous.
This made Li Ming somewhat expectant.
After returning home, Li Ming's previous exhaustion disappeared, and he felt extremely relaxed.
Quickly close the door and then begin to count the spoils.
He was previously told that if he activated the Reverse Fate skill, he could steal an entry.
He was overjoyed.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a gold-level keyword.
Defying fate and changing destiny, nothing is impossible!
I learned this after communicating with the Golden Finger.
After he kills someone with a word or phrase, he can choose one of the person's words and make it his own.
There are also compatibility issues between entries. Some entries can be combined, while others conflict with each other. Forcibly taking over an entry will not only bring no benefit but may even create hidden dangers.
Therefore, he could choose any one and then refine it.
Li Ming suddenly thought that if he had bad affixes on him, could he choose to refine them?
Refining gray-level entries requires sacrificing life energy as a price (the higher the cultivation level, the more life energy is required).
Refining attributes of white rank or higher will grant Life Energy (the amount depends on the attribute's level).
[Also, note the maximum potential of certain attributes. Most attributes cannot be upgraded to gold; you'll need to figure out the maximum potential yourself.]
Upon seeing the system's panel prompt, Li Ming indicated that he understood.
This prevents him from exploiting bugs.
If even grayed-out terms can be erased, then he could practice evil arts every day, refining them as he goes...
We mustn't exploit the system to the point of baldness.
As for the last sentence, it's easy to understand: he needs to be careful when choosing keywords. Some keywords may have good potential and can be upgraded indefinitely, while some keywords are too common and have no potential.
With his mind focused, Li Ming looked at the available entries.
Five entries, one green, three white, and one gray.
Ignore the useless [short lifespan] and [martial spirit].
[Heartless and Unfeeling (White)]: [Disregards past favors, shows no loyalty or righteousness, and is ruthless and decisive in killing.]
【Flying on Grass (White)】: 【Light and nimble, with steps as swift as the wind.】
[Sword Obsessed (Green)]: [You love swords and are passionate about them. You are extremely dedicated to practicing sword-based martial arts, and your comprehension of sword-based martial arts has improved.]
After looking around, only [Grasshopper] and [Sword Maniac] impressed him.
However, he remembered the entry he obtained from the Perfected Sword Technique.
[Swordsmanship (White)]: [Swordsmanship is something that those skilled with swords possess, but you have a particular fondness for swordsmanship, and your swordsmanship aptitude has slightly improved.]
Li Ming was somewhat puzzled.
He still prefers the more advanced terms associated with cyan.
only.
[If I were to take the "Sword Maniac" attribute, would it conflict with my "Sword Skill" attribute?]
The two have excellent synergy and can be fused to create a special attribute, requiring 200 Life Energy.
I understand.
They're just obsessed with money.
[Fusion!]
Li Ming didn't hesitate when he heard that there were "excellent compatibility" and "special terms".
His intuition told him so.
After it was synthesized, it would be of great benefit to him.
The 800 lives I just got can take away 200 of them.
In an instant.
The [Sword Maniac] that originally belonged to Xiao Qing instantly transformed into a beam of blue light and merged with the [Sword Skill] on the panel.
[New entry acquired: Master of both swords and sabers.]
[Master of Both Swords and Sabers (Blue): Both swords and sabers are weapons, and both greatly benefit you, improving your aptitude in swordsmanship and saber techniques.]
Li Ming's body trembled, and his heart was inexplicably stirred.
Despite being blessed with the "Master of Both Sword and Blade" attribute, his body did not undergo any changes.
But somehow, I had a premonition.
However, looking at the entries he had obtained from his perfected martial arts manual, he was even more satisfied.
[Azure Wood Body (Azure)]: [Superior talent; flowers, plants, and trees all aid you, increasing your speed in cultivating wood-based techniques.]
[Silver Bone (Azure)]: [Your bone structure is like silver, and your blood and qi are incredibly strong. This is a mid-to-high-level bone structure aptitude, which improves your aptitude for body refining techniques.]
Li Ming knew that his predecessor was of poor aptitude. If he joined the imperial court, he would only be a low-ranking iron-badge constable. If he joined a third-rate sect, he would only be an ordinary disciple.
If he had possessed either the "Green Wood Body" or the "Silver Bone" earlier, it wouldn't have been difficult to join a sect with a grandmaster in charge. With a little effort, he could have become an inner disciple. And if he had both of these attributes, he might even have had the opportunity to join a major sect.
He couldn't help but praise in his heart, "The Great Xuanwu Scripture truly lives up to its reputation as the signature foundation-building technique of the Great Xuanwu. Once the Body Tempering Chapter is perfected, it has the power to undergo a complete transformation and reshape one's fundamental physical foundation."
Of course, Li Ming also knew that it was extremely difficult to perfect the Body Tempering Chapter. Normally, it would require a large amount of precious martial arts resources, such as medicinal herbs and elixirs. He was able to perfect it only because he was powerful due to his cheat ability.
It saves a lot of trouble.
In his current state, Li Ming is confident that he can fight against Xue Laowu at his peak.
Name: Li Ming (18 years old)
[Cultivation Level]: [Body Tempering Perfected]
[Martial Arts]: [The Great Xuanwu Scripture Body Forging Chapter (Completed), The Three Blades of the Gale (Completed)]
[Entry]: [Defying Fate (Gold), Silver Bones (Azure), Intelligence (Azure), Azure Wood Body (Azure), Master of Both Sword and Blade (Azure), Facing Misfortune (White)]
[Life Energy]: [600]
"Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts... The ancients were right."
If they had simply focused on developing their skills properly, they wouldn't have achieved such a phenomenal success today.
However, this journey is extremely dangerous. If he acts rashly, he may have been taken away by a single sword strike long ago.
High risk is often accompanied by high return.
The change in the terminology brought Li Ming a significant boost.
The strength and toughness of his muscles and skin, and the rigidity of his bones, are results that ordinary people can only achieve after more than ten years of hard training.
The chief constable will summon me tomorrow, and I expect to gain something from that meeting.
Looking at myself in the bronze mirror.
Li Ming sighed, saying that he was blessed with good fortune; he already had a good foundation, and now he had reached an even higher level.
With exceptionally handsome features and eyes as deep as stars, coupled with a blue robe, he possessed an extraordinary demeanor.
Li Ming pushed open the door to the house and walked into the courtyard.
Pick up the stone locks and stone tables that I used to use to practice my strength. Things that used to require both hands to lift, I can now handle with ease.
It can even swing a stone table weighing several hundred pounds as a weapon.
The changes in vocabulary and the deepening of cultivation brought about earth-shattering changes.
However, this kind of strength can be achieved overnight, and one needs to become more familiar with the changes within oneself.
Assessing one's own strength.
That's a bit of a stretch.
After practicing diligently, Li Ming sighed:
"Having perfectly mastered my strength, I feel that fighting someone in the Qi Refining Realm is not difficult."
"The life energy required for the Golden Finger is also something I have to work hard for. So, I still relied on my own efforts and diligence to break through to the Great Perfection of Body Tempering."
"That's right, as expected of me."
