Chapter 3 Showing No Mercy



3. Show no mercy

Moreover, a strange power nourished his entire body, making him feel refreshed and his strength, physique, and speed all improved. He also felt the hardness of Iron Shirt after practicing hard kung fu, making it difficult to cut with an ordinary kitchen knife!

I feel that my arms and legs are stronger and more explosive, and I estimate that I can jump several meters high and several meters far in one go!

I tried it out, and now I can leap up to four zhang (approximately 13 meters) in one step and jump four zhang (approximately 13 meters) high in one jump.

He picked up a piece of firewood, about half the thickness of a sea estuary, and struck himself hard. It sounded like a bell, but it didn't hurt his body or skin at all!

Suddenly, an even greater feeling of hunger came from within him, and He Chen quickly ate all the chickens and ducks, but he still didn't feel completely full!

So, after finishing the meal, they found everything else in the house that they could eat, cooked it, and ate it all!

I just let out a burp! Looks like I need to eat some meat or ginseng or some other spiritual fruit!

Then, he continued to familiarize himself with his own strength and swordsmanship. His "one slash, two cuts" swordsmanship became more and more proficient and skillful. However, it was a pity for a pile of firewood. It would be cut into three pieces with one slash. Normally, firewood is cut in two with one slash. It was a bit unbelievable that it was cut into three pieces with one slash!

The two swords combined, splitting the stone in two!

Looking at the blue stone that had been split in two, this is the feeling of power! I feel like I have nearly a thousand pounds of strength!

Night was approaching, so He Chen sat quietly and rested for a while. The air was so fresh, but he couldn't get enough to eat, and the food wasn't good either!

I sat quietly for a while, but I was so tired that I fell asleep right away! I slept so well that when I woke up, it was already dark!

All around were dilapidated houses with low thatched roofs, and it was pitch black!

Looking further ahead, the lone blue-tiled house, now ablaze with a tiny flame, seemed out of place!

Gently stroking the gentleman's knife, it seemed to understand my thoughts, responding with a slight tremor!

He drew his knife, opened the door, and found himself surrounded by darkness and a chilling aura!

The moonlight is beautiful, and the scenery is wonderful too!

From this day forward, I will avenge petty people without delay!

He Chen felt that after his body was tempered, his various abilities had obviously improved. To him, the pitch-black night was no different from daytime, except that it was a little darker!

Hearing becomes more sensitive, and perception becomes more enhanced!

In this world, ordinary people have short lifespans, but many live very long lives, some even said to live for over a thousand years! It's so enviable! I really want to live for a thousand years and witness the cycle of time!

He Chen walked on the broken, muddy road, taking four zhang per step, rushing towards the village head's house like flying. The village bully rarely came back, but every time he came to the village, he would rest at the village head's house!

'If the cultivation method reaches the thousandth level, wouldn't it be possible to barbecue without fire, taking one step a thousand feet, or ten thousand feet away?' He Chen thought longingly!

We still need to deal with this trouble first! We arrived at the village head's house quickly. Inside, the stove was emitting an enticing aroma of meat and wine. What a luxury! Drinking and eating meat!

He slowly crouched down, fully alert, knife in his right hand, ready to fight to the death, ruthless and merciless, the moment he made his move!

A sharp female voice came from inside. It was Muramasa's wife. "These two useless things! If it weren't for me, would he have become Muramasa? If I hadn't married, he would have starved to death long ago. I was really blind to marry such a good-for-nothing. I'll just let him send a few more women and let the children go to rich families to enjoy a life of luxury. He's so timid and cowardly. What can he accomplish? I'm still waiting for my son to break through and return to the family!"

This dilapidated village will be attacked by monsters sooner or later!

Muramasa's wife complained loudly.

Then, seemingly unconcerned, he casually remarked, "Come on, let's drink together. I've put something in this rubbish liquor; they won't wake up all night!"

"Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful! Let's drink. And that brat who's only a student, we'll find a chance to finish him off tomorrow. A mere student, thinking he's someone important. There are plenty of students like that in the county!" one of the village bullies said.

"How much have you made over there lately? Don't forget my share," Muramasa's wife suddenly said.

"Yes, how could I forget my sister-in-law? You're so beautiful, come and drink!"

He Chen waited for a while, and the three people inside were still drinking, and their words were becoming more and more unrestrained. Suddenly, one of them wanted to go out to relieve himself!

"Squeak!" The door opened.

He Chen felt a mixture of calm satisfaction and ruthless madness, poised to strike. The moment the door opened, he lunged forward, his broadsword slashing horizontally. In a flash, a head flew into the air, blood spurting out. In that instant, the air seemed to freeze!

[Kill Points +5]

He Chen disregarded the bloody scene before him and stepped in front of another village bully. He slashed twice with his sword, so fast that even the village bully didn't have time to react or dodge.

Instinctively, he stood up, dodging backward while reaching out to block. He Chen slashed horizontally with his blade, severing the village bully's arm. He then mentally controlled another blade, slashing at the village bully's neck from behind—fast, accurate, and ruthless!

Before the village bully could even open his mouth, another head flew into the air, spraying blood!

Then, without even glancing at the village bully, he directly slashed the village chief's wife with a horizontal slash. The village chief's wife was completely stunned and did not even have time to scream before the slash struck her neck twice, once in front and once in the back!

Heads fly off, paths to the mortal world are severed; all the evil deeds of the past have brought about death today! Perhaps every sip and every bite is preordained in the dark!

In his first real battle, He Chen felt no discomfort whatsoever, and his double slash was truly bizarre, catching everyone off guard!

The village bully and the village head's wife were both stabbed twice, once in the front and once in the back. The gentleman's knife was sharp, with smooth and clean cuts, and blood flowed freely, sending the three of them on their way!

[Kill Points increased by 5]

[Kill Points increased by 5]

Looking at Muramasa, who was still unaware of being awakened, he wondered what his wife had given him.

He lay motionless on the table, facing Muramasa and his wicked son!

With a swift and decisive strike, without the slightest hesitation or mercy, two more souls perished. After all, it's a family, so of course they should be taken down cleanly!

[Kill Points increased by 5]

[Kill Points increased by 5]

Five people, a total of 25 kill points. They're not even Tier 1 yet, so having fewer kill points isn't a big deal!

Only after the killing was over did I realize that the village bully was actually quite weak.

Feeling ravenous, I ignored the blood flowing everywhere and sat down, devouring the meat and vegetables! I ate more than half of the food from the stove before I felt full. Beef, what a luxury!

Then, He Chen went to the village head's house, ransacked the place, and searched everywhere. With his keen senses, he quickly found nothing but some loose silver, two hundred-tael silver notes, some jewelry, and even a 20-year-old ginseng!

They've struck it rich! You know, one tael of silver is equivalent to 1,000 copper coins now, and a steamed bun costs only two copper coins! Two hundred taels of silver notes, that's a huge sum of money. I guess it'll be used to buy medicine for the village head's son or something!

Now, it's all his. It really is true that murder and arson bring wealth!
