On the panel, the numbers about Shouyuan changed rapidly.

  Thirty-four... twenty-one... thirteen...

  Until it stopped at "one".

  The realm behind Fuyao Dao Fa also grew rapidly.

  You have been practicing the Fuyao Knife Technique for eight years and have finally broken through to the Small Success Realm.

  You continue to practice and break through to the Great Completion Realm in the seventeenth year

  At twenty-nine, your Fowu Dao technique reached its peak, finally becoming perfect and complete.

  Thirty-three years later, you still indulged in this formula after perfection, seemingly having new enlightenment, but this epiphany was not true enough and failed to evolve successfully.

  Demon-Slaying Sword Technique (Perfection)

  ……

  Shen Yi lay on the ground, his mind focused more on his right hand that held the knife.

  He wants to confirm that after losing his lifespan, he will either become an old man or maintain a youthful appearance.

  Only the skin on the back of his hand was still smooth, and his slender fingers were extremely flexible.

  Whats even more astonishing is that his own body has not only not aged, but is actually becoming stronger and more robust at an unimaginable rate.

  It was as if Shen Yi had devoted himself to practicing swordsmanship for thirty-three years, never touching wine or women, and dedicating his entire life to the sword in his hand.

  ……

  The night is dark and gloomy, the courtyard is dead silent.

  The giant dog demons massive body leaned slightly forward, arriving at the door, stretching out its hand to support itself against the wall, and poking its head inside the house.

  Those pale yellow pupils indifferently scanned the crowd in the room.

  Overwhelmed by the pungent smell of wild beasts, Liu Lao Die leaned tightly against the wall corner, his eyes rolled back, almost fainting.

  When facing Shen Yis back, he could still muster the courage to grip his wooden staff tightly, but when faced with this dog head that was right in front of him, even words of surrender got stuck in his throat and couldnt be spoken.

  Fortunately, the other persons gaze quickly shifted from him to that more tender and delicate little girl.

  The dog demon didnt even want to say more, it simply stretched out its paw calmly and hooked its fingertips.

  Under immense fear, Xiaoyaos eyes were dull and she mechanically took steps forward, staring at the opponents sharp claws that were pressed against her neck.

  Suddenly, she felt a warm palm covering her wrist, pulling back her pace.

  Liu Yatous whole body trembled, and she lowered her head to look down.

  Only to see Shen Yis eyebrows slightly furrowed, he got up with a stumble, patted the dust off his body, and in the same tone as before, said softly: "Scram, go stand by the wall."

  “……”

  Feeling the sudden tightening of the paws on her neck, Xiaoyaos emotions collapsed, and she had no idea what nonsense Master Shen was talking about.

  How to go? Where to go?

  The dog demons mouth corners surged with a ferocious smile: "You ungrateful beast, whats the hurry? The next one will be you."

  Under everyones gaze, a silver light suddenly flashed inside the house, cold and piercing!

  Shen Yi slung a long sword over his shoulder, its silver blade reflecting his expressionless face.

  A streak of blood suddenly appeared on the blade, gathering at the tip and forming a drop that rolled off.

  Along with the blood beads, a muscular and oily arm fell down.

  "Ahh——"

  In an instant, the room was shrouded in the painful howls of the dog demon, and it couldnt even see the trajectory of the knife, nor when the other party drew their sword.

  Without the support of her paws, Xiaoyao stumbled and staggered backward into a corner, cowering in terror.

  In her tear-blurred vision, the lone figure before her suddenly charged forward.

  Like a ferocious evil god, powerful arms stretched out and five fingers suddenly grasped the long hair on the dog demons neck, violently throwing it downwards.

  Under that powerful and unmatched force, the dog demon suffered again, its mountain-like body crashing to the ground!

  Without giving it a chance to react, Shen Yi pressed down on the dogs head with one knee, raised his hands high above his head, and vertically grasped the knife handle, the long knife in his hand fiercely stabbing down at its throat.

  Pfft!

  Scalding dog blood poured out, splashing onto Shen Yis face, adding a few points of ferocity to his handsome features.

  ……

  Shen Yi stepped on the dogs head, and with palms as steady as a rock, he pulled out the dagger from the flesh.

  It was clearly the first time he had slain a demon, yet it seemed as if this act of slaughter had been repeated countless times, deeply etched into his instincts.

  The whole body was covered with sticky blood plasma, and there was a nauseating stench.

  I should be shaken with anxiety and vomiting nonstop, but my body is calm in a way thats hard to understand.

  This is Fu Yaos knife method, killing demons is as ordinary as eating and drinking water.

  He drew out his sword and stared into the dog demons unblinking eyes, carefully wiping the blade clean on its fur.

  Not to mention this beast, even Shen Yi himself did not expect that the battle would end so quickly.

  Thirty-three years of practicing swordsmanship, the power accumulated throughout his body had almost reached the pinnacle of a mortal.

  After doing all this, Shen Yi turned his head to look at the father and daughter in the corner of the wall.

  All that can be seen is that both of their eyes are filled with incredulity, but compared to before, theres only a deeper fear, and no gratitude can be spoken of.

  Shen Yi withdrew her gaze and didnt take it to heart.

  After all, just half an hour ago, I was still stripping that little girls clothes, how could the other party really trust me.

  Its likely that the two of them still think it was a falling out between Lord Shen and the demon.

  “……”

  He hung his sword and kicked open the corpse of the dog demon, walking towards the courtyard.

  "Shen Ye... Do you want..."

  Liu Jias servant girl looked at her own wrist, which had just been grasped, and suddenly raised her dirty face, saying carefully: "First bandage the wound on your head."

  At these words, the old mans eyes turned black.

  This silly girl, why bring up whatever pot doesnt open, dont forget how that wound came about.

  In the old mans eyes, Shen Ye is now ten times more terrifying than that demonic dog!

  Shen Yi slowly came to a stop.

  "All right."

  In two lifetimes, nothing good has been done together. Finally doing something good once, if theres even a slight reaction, saying it doesnt matter is false.

  Theres no reason for a chivalrous guest to walk back home by himself.

  Dont mention going all out, at least give a warm water to soothe your throat.

  Shen Yi swaggered back to the bedside and sat down, taking off his clothes under the clumsy service of the thin boy. Liu Laos heart was filled with sorrow, but his hands were still nimble as he flipped out a relatively clean cloth to wipe away the bloodstains on Shen Yis neck.

  Just then, the panel popped out.

  A strange reminder caught Shen Yis attention.

  "Opening Wisdom Demon Dog, Not Yet Entered Initial Realm, Total Lifespan 175 Years, Remaining 63 Years, Absorption Complete"

  Current Martial Arts

  Bone-Penetrating Grasping Hand (Da Cheng)

  Fuyao Dao Fa (Perfection)

  Current remaining lifespan: one year

  Yōma Jūgen: Sixty-Three Years

  Youmo Shouyuan can be used for infusing martial arts, but cannot be converted into ones own lifespan.

  “……”

  Shen Yi ordered two people to collect the corpse of the dog demon, while he himself pondered this new thing.

  Cant help but say, the emptiness after buying gold is really torturing people.

  Looking at the remaining one-year lifespan, Shen Yi fell silent for a long time and suddenly wanted to give himself an ear slap.

  Obviously, it would have taken 29 years for the Fuyao Swordsmanship to be perfected, but instead, four more years were wasted on pretending.

  Even if he doesnt have a sense of belonging in this world, its still good to be able to play games for a few more years.

  "So, as long as you can slay demons and eliminate evil spirits, you can use their remaining lifespan to replace your own, and deduce the principles of martial arts?"

  "A clever dog demon can live for nearly two hundred years, this is also too exaggerated."

  Shen Yi was slightly surprised.

  But then I thought of something else.

  If monsters can live for so long, dont humans have a way to extend their lifespan?

  Its really like this, now that the official position is taken, the one wearing a sword should be that dog, how can it still be the human court.

  "Never mind, its no use thinking about it now."

  "I think I mentioned earlier when demonstrating the Fuyao Sword Technique that there has been new progress."

  Shen Yi now holds a 63-year-old demons lifespan, and for some reason, he has an illusion of overnight wealth.

  How about trying for ten years first?
