Not far away, two people walked together, heading towards the Deceitful House.

One person wore a black, plain outfit, holding a Judge's Pen. His hair was half white, yet his complexion was rosy, with a gloomy expression.

The other wore a purple robe, with a long face and a hooked nose, surprisingly one of the Beast Hunting Bureau staff Lou Yi had seen before.

Both saw Lou Yi standing quietly in front of the Deceitful House and were taken aback.

"You actually managed to come out alive?" the hooked-nose man exclaimed in surprise.

Upon seeing Lou Yi's face covered in blood and his pale complexion, he chuckled, "Your luck is really something. The two I tricked earlier have been buried here for days."

"To escape from the hands of the vengeful spirits, luck alone isn't enough; your skills must be fairly commendable," commented the man in black, his hands behind his back.

The two continued chatting as if no one else was present, treating Lou Yi as if he were air.

"The vengeful spirit you speak of, is this what you mean?" Lou Yi looked at them expressionlessly.

He extended his palm forward, revealing a white pearl that emitted a faint glow in the dark.

"You killed the vengeful spirit?" The man in black could no longer maintain his composure and exclaimed in shock.

"Throw the Spiritual Pearl over here, and I may spare your life," the hooked-nose man said with glee, his eyes greedily fixed on the pearl.

"If you want it, come and take it yourself," Lou Yi withdrew the pearl, circulating his Qi-Blood to reveal the aura of a Blood Warrior.

"Go to hell!" The hooked-nose man shouted in fury.

He unsheathed the long sword from his waist and charged at Lou Yi like a hunting hound, the sword tip aiming directly at Lou Yi's throat.

'Zhengzheng!'

The sword trembled rapidly in the air, slicing through the air like a snake flicking its tongue, mysterious and unpredictable, almost impossible for a normal person to track.

Martial Artists of the Minor Circulation level have clear advantages in strength and speed over ordinary martial artists, typically able to take on four or five opponents easily.

The hooked-nose man was confident, believing he could take down the opponent with one strike.

At that moment, Lou Yi pulled out the Profound Iron Axe from his chest, silver light flashing in the night.

'Whoosh!'

The axe blade sliced through the air, precisely striking the opponent's sword tip.

'Dang!'

The sound of metal collision rang out.

The sword was easily deflected, while the axe continued its relentless forward motion, even accelerating slightly.

"Too weak." Lou Yi's voice came just in time, making the hooked-nose man's face turn ashen.

"Impossible!"

The hooked-nose man growled.

Though startled, he remained composed, flicking his wrist to toss the sword towards Lou Yi's chest, simultaneously retreating rapidly.

Yet, Lou Yi didn't even dodge, his axe transforming from slash to block, effortlessly flicking the sword away.

'Bang!'

He stomped the ground, using the rebound force to accelerate further, quickly arriving before the drastically changing expression of the hooked-nose man, whose openings were now exposed.

The axe in his hand raised high.

No tricks, just strength and speed that far exceeded the Small Cycle Martial Artist.

"Stop!" The man in black shouted in anger and surprise, rushing forward, yet still several steps behind.

'Pfft!'

The hooked-nose man's body separated.

Before dying, a trace of astonishment remained in his eyes, seemingly unable to believe he died so easily.

"Three blood, or four blood?" The man in black yelled angrily, "Deceptive brat, unless you break through to Great Circulation, you'll definitely perish in the Yellow Springs today!"

'Whoosh!'

Without any wasted words, Lou Yi stomped the ground, axe again swinging towards the man in black.

The axe blade compressing the air emitted a sharp whistle, so distinct in the silent night.

"Die, you brat!"

The man in black wielded the Judge's Pen, thrusting towards Lou Yi's chest like flowing dragons and serpents.

'Dangdangdang!'

Axe and pen clashed, sparks flying.

The two exchanged blows seven or eight times in an instant, hard to tell victory from defeat.

"Who exactly are you!"

The elder shouted in anger, the more they fought, the more alarmed he became, this person's power was surprisingly on par with his own.

To know, he had already reached Four Blood Peak.

Although limited by age, he would never break through to Great Circulation in this lifetime.

But in terms of sheer power, he definitely stood at the top of his tier.

If Lou Yi could match him equally, it meant either a profound background, deep family learning, or extraordinary talent.

No matter which, such a person must not be left alive!

Thinking this, the elder stepped back two paces, took out a white porcelain bottle, and poured out a red Elixir Pill.

After taking the Elixir Pill, his face instantly turned blood-red, with white steam continuously emerging from the top of his head.

"Die for me!" The man in black's speed increased by at least twenty percent than before, his face showing a crazed expression.

At that moment, he heard the opponent softly whisper two words:

"Splitting Mountain."

Invisible energy enveloped the elder, making his body momentarily stiff mid-air.

Not only that, a large amount of quicklime from Black Market assailants came at him, seamlessly linking.

When the elder reacted, his face was covered in white lime, and he couldn't see anything.

"Despicable brat!"

The man in black roared, having no desire to continue the fight, feinting a strike, and attempting to slip away to find reinforcements to besiege the opponent.

Yet Lou Yi brought out a Slingshot, tossing three stones they flew, blocking potential retreat paths for the elder.

The elder was hit by a stone, staggering, unable to stand properly.

"Aahh!"

He blindly stabbed with the Judge's Pen, his body trembling with fear.

'Pfft!'

A sliver of silver lightly crossed his throat, causing the elder to halt all movements abruptly.

"The Xu Family, the Xu Family won't let you go…"

After saying this, blood sprayed in a fan-like shape from his throat forward, and the elder's eyes went dull as he fell to the ground.

"Xu Family?" Lou Yi also felt a surge of animosity rise in his heart, "You damned people come after me first and still won't let me go?"

"Am I supposed to stand and not resist while letting you kill?"

"What damned nonsense!"

At that moment, Lou Yi thought of the Qi Family, thought of that bird Inspector, thought of the days of being chased and threatened that were hard to look back on.

Such days, this lifetime will never experience again.

Lou Yi had this confidence.

He steadied his emotions on the spot for a moment, began searching the corpses, obtaining six points of energy, hundreds of silver notes, one unknown red Elixir Pill, two refined steel long swords...

Suddenly, his mood improved considerably.

'That damned Xu Family, hope you don't come meddle.'

...

Tai City Main City, Beast Hunting Bureau.

A young man of ordinary appearance entered here for the third time.

The staff responsible for attending to the Beast Hunter Guard, only the red-skirted seductive woman remained.

She was lying bored on a wooden chair.

Her two legs raised high over the counter, revealing large areas of snow-white and delicate leg skin.

A pair of white feet painted with red nail polish, slender and tender toes occasionally curling and stretching, appearing somewhat playful.

Despite noticing someone approaching, her movements remained unchanged, not minding the possible exposure.

"Taking up a task?" The woman in the red dress lazily asked upon hearing footsteps.

"Submitting a task."

Upon hearing the familiar male voice, the woman inadvertently raised her head, her expression changed, abruptly withdrew her feet from the counter, sitting upright again.

"You dealt with it?"
