The Jade Bone Realm Fox Girl was slightly interested: "The Fox Mother has mentioned Qin An many times as well. Cangyun Valley and the Tree Monarch have placed Qin An on the wanted list; this is the treatment for a Silver State Commander. Who is he?"

For the Fox Girl, having a Silver State Commander on the wanted list is normal. But Qin An is merely a Copper State Commander; how could he receive such treatment?

Li Zheng's face was indifferent as he gripped the long knife in his hand: "A country bumpkin from the countryside, ignorant of the vastness of the heavens and earth."

The Jade Bone Realm Fox Girl raised her elegant hand, gently playing with the black hair on her shoulder: "A Copper State Commander only at Body Realm Perfection. If you encounter him, just kill him directly. I will convey your thoughts, and all parties will search for his whereabouts."

Li Zheng nodded slightly, said no more, and walked into the darkness with his long knife.

The Jade Bone Realm Fox Girl vanished in an instant upon seeing this.

The forest returned to silence, with only the bodies on the ground remaining.

...

At the battlefield.

Several Copper State Commanders sat on the ground, panting heavily, with blood seeping from their bodies.

Yet there was a look of astonishment in their eyes.

Not far away, three Body Realm Perfected monsters lay twitching a couple of times before becoming motionless.

Qin An, dressed in black, slowly pulled out a black knife and wiped the blood off expressionlessly.

The blood was about two inches thick and couldn't be easily wiped off, but this was Qin An's habit.

After doing this, Qin An skillfully butchered the creatures, absorbing the obtained Blood Crystals.

The amount of Blood Crystals in his body had already reached two hundred. With so many Blood Crystals stored, Qin An even felt as if he was full.

The human body has limits, and so does storing Blood Crystals.

Along the way, constantly slaughtering monsters, whenever encountering colleagues on the brink of destruction, Qin An would conveniently kill the monsters, thus acquiring a large number of Blood Crystals.

A few Copper State Commanders exchanged glances, and one person stepped forward, cupping his fists in gratitude.

They were already exhausted and were about to die tragically.

Unexpectedly, this young colleague, like an Evil Star, effortlessly cut down the three Body Realm monsters with his knife.

Though there were many Copper State Commanders in the Evil Extermination Bureau, there must be someone who knows of a colleague with Qin An's level of strength.

They found Qin An unfamiliar, not knowing his identity, but inquiring would do no harm.

Qin An nodded slightly and continued with the butchering task.

As for Qin An's indifference, the few Copper State Commanders were not surprised at all.

Those in the Evil Extermination Bureau often tread the edge of life and death and are accustomed to cold personalities and even stranger behaviors.

The higher the profession of a butcher, the more skilled Qin An became in slaughtering. Before long, Qin An sheathed his black knife.

Ahead, smoke appeared, coalescing into snaking words.

[Butcher lv.5 (0/800): The livestock you slaughter are more delicious]

[Talent: Mastery in Body Realm Blade Cultivation Technique]

[Promotion criteria: Slaughter a hundred Body Realm monsters (100/100)]

Finally at level five.

After reaching level five, the butcher's talent transitioned to mastery, meaning that if Qin An obtained a new sword technique, with numerous Blood Crystals for simulation, it might lead to a Jade Bone Realm sword technique.

The harvest this time was abundant, but Qin An thought this was not all.

Inside, a large number of Blood Crystals were at the limit.

After pondering for a moment, Qin An used the Dragon Body Skill, transforming into a shadow as he disappeared.

He planned to take a short rest and first infuse the Blood Crystals into the Cangshan Jade. Otherwise, collecting more would be futile.

A few Copper State Commanders saw Qin An leaving so quickly, exchanged glances, and all slightly shook their heads.

"A really peculiar person."

"Strong enough; quirky character only makes it better."

"Inquire after returning, find out when there was such a strong Copper State Commander, and befriend him a few times then."

...

After Qin An left, he found a slightly quiet grove, confirmed no one was around, and took out the Cangshan Jade from his bosom.

The Cangshan Jade was as white as mutton fat, with blood-red veins running across it like threads.

Qin An paused for a moment, channeling his qi blood into the Cangshan Jade vigorously.

The once thread-like blood-red expanded in an instant as if ink had been spilled on white cloth.

In just the time of an incense stick, Qin An's internal qi blood was half depleted.

The Cangshan Jade no longer looked the same as before.

All the white retreated, leaving it blood red as if a priceless chicken blood stone.

Feeling it for a moment, Qin An thought, "Such ample Qi Blood Power, if used as the main bone at the Jade Bone Realm, its power will definitely increase."

He harbored some anticipation and made his plans.

This achievement was significant, and upon returning, he planned to upgrade his scholar profession to level five. After gaining mastery in Heart Method talents, he would exchange for a cultivation technique, with a substantial amount of qi blood to assist, forcibly breaking into the Jade Bone Realm.

With Cangshan Jade then used as the main bone, entering the Jade Bone Realm would certainly make him stronger than the average person.

Currently beset by monsters from all sides.

The Fox Mother, Cangyun Valley, and the Tree Monarch would not easily give up. Reaching the Jade Bone Realm would at least provide some semblance of safety.

With his plan set, Qin An stood up and proceeded into the woods with his black knife.

He still needed to continue hunting monsters to acquire more Blood Crystals for reserves.

The subsequent realms require more Blood Crystals, and he didn't want to find himself lacking when needed.

...

In the forest, cries of battle rang out intermittently.

On the platform, the battle between Yang Quanfeng and Muo Yunzhi and others grew increasingly intense.

Even with his abundant experience and foundation, facing two enemies at once, Yang Quanfeng began to show signs of fatigue, his hand grasping the iron hammer slightly pale.

Following a sound of battle, Qin An arrived by a riverside.

He originally thought he could gain some benefit here, but wasn't expecting to see no one by the river upon arrival.

The cries of battle came from the riverbank, but as Qin An arrived, the sounds gradually faded away.

Qin An's gaze focused slightly, thinking to himself, "Something's wrong."

Clearly, there was the sound of fighting, but now it suddenly stopped, obviously indicating a major issue.

At that moment, a sound of wind came to his ears.

Qin An wielded his black knife, swinging it in a backhand slash.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound rang out.

Upon seeing clearly, Qin An furrowed his brows tightly.

Behind him stood a woman in a thin veil with foxlike allure and a voluptuous figure.

The woman grasped Qin An's black knife with her hand, her five fingers, though white as jade, exuded an air of killing intent.

Swept by Qin An's gaze, the veiled woman covered her mouth with her other hand and laughed softly.

"The young master strikes so ruthlessly, without an ounce of pity for the beauty."

"My name is Fox Yun. Young master must be Qin An?"

Jade Bone Realm Fox Girl.

Qin An sensed the aura from the other party and heard his own name called out, knowing that she was here for him.

This river was a trap, using the sound of fighting to lure him in.

Though Fox Yun's voice was soft and charming, it didn't mask her murder intent.

Li Zheng was someone the Fox Mother had painstakingly planted in the Evil Extermination Bureau over the years. Since Li Zheng wanted Qin An dead, then Qin An simply had to die.

Furthermore, with the Fox Mother's bounty, taking Qin An's head today promised great rewards upon returning.

This man before her was merely a Body Realm Copper State Commander. As a Jade Bone Realm, she could easily annihilate him.

Thinking this, Fox Yun felt she had the situation in hand, her hunting instincts awakening, eager to savor the fear on her prey's face before its demise.

At this moment, three fiery bursts of yang energy erupted from the black knife.
