2: krypton life

The reason why most regions of the world have become wilderness forbidden zones is precisely because there are a large number of Strange Beast (feral beasts) and magician (demonic humans) in these places. Compared to the massive feral beasts, demonic humans, who are skilled at disguise, are even more likely to blend in with humans.

And they all have one characteristic: they eat people!

"It seems there are no elders of yours nearby," the Two-Headed Sheep said, and then suddenly bit off Zhao Minsheng's head. Its grotesque, bloody mouth chewed incessantly, making sounds of bones being crushed and ground.

Thud—

Zhao Minsheng, who had just been arrogant and overbearing, was now a headless corpse, crashing to the ground. Blood seeped into the mud, spreading out into a large, striking crimson stain.

"He's... dead!"

Seeing this scene, everyone seemed to be stunned, mumbling in place.

"Run!"

Someone shouted, and only then did the others react. Already scared out of their wits, they took off running.

"Since you've come, why be in such a hurry to leave?" the Two-Headed Sheep sneered. How could a group of students outrun it?

Before a few of them could run much farther, they successively fell into pools of blood. The last remaining student even had his chest pierced from the back by the Two-Headed Sheep, which then pulled out a bloody, still-beating heart.

The person's eyes were wide open as he fell to the ground.

After the Two-Headed Sheep threw the heart into its mouth, chewed, and swallowed, it finally turned its gaze to Shen Xi and lunged straight at him.

A fishy wind (foul wind) blew in his face.

Shen Xi instinctively raised his arms to block, but the next second he was hit as if by a train, sent flying horizontally. After falling to the ground, he coughed up a large mouthful of fresh blood.

Intense pain struck him. On his arms, there were three shocking wounds each.

"Boss... Boss!" The fatty swallowed, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Unlike these idiots from the Inner City, those from the Outer City knew the speed of the Two-Headed Sheep. In this situation, only caring about escaping meant absolutely no chance of survival.

Although he lacked the courage to charge forward, he couldn't just watch Shen Xi die and run away by himself.

Shen Xi struggled to get up, ignoring the fatty's shouts.

Demonic humans hunting for food—this situation happened almost every few months in the Outer City. Today, they were truly unlucky.

He had originally wanted to live a long life, but now it seemed... that was no longer possible.

"You want to eat a tough bone like me? Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?" Shen Xi spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground. When he looked up, his indifferent expression finally showed a hint of madness.

"Isn't it just sacrificing life force?"

"System, fully Cultivate Baguazhang for me!"

[Martial Arts evolution accelerating...]

[Year one: You diligently practiced, finally advancing Baguazhang to the Minor Achievement Realm by the end of summer vacation.]

[Subsequently, due to long-term malnutrition, your Cultivation progress stagnated. Fortunately, your combat performance was excellent, allowing you to barely get into university!]

[Year six: After four years of university, your physical condition gradually recovered, and you finally Breakthrough to Major Achievement!]

[Another twenty years passed. You devoted yourself to daily Martial Arts practice, integrating all the subtleties of Baguazhang. Finally, at the age of forty-two, you Cultivated to the Transcendent Realm.]

[Year thirty-one: Having Cultivated Baguazhang to its extreme, you unexpectedly captured a trace of spiritual light. Because of this light, you once again began Cultivating day and night.]

[For the next ten years, that speck of spiritual light became increasingly real in your heart, but you could never grasp it. You were just one step away from that extraordinary Origin Qi Grandmaster. This year, you were fifty-seven, and you reached the end of your life.]

As the System's voice faded, a brand new panel appeared before his eyes.

[Cultivation: Blood Refinement Transcendent Realm]

[Martial Arts: Bajiquan (Basic Martial Arts) (Transcendent Realm)]

[Lifespan: Two months.]

In the blink of an eye, Shen Xi, who originally had over forty years of lifespan left, now only had two months.

But when he opened his eyes again, his gaze held a new, restrained sharpness.

The Profound Truth of Baguazhang was deeply etched into his mind. This basic Martial Arts taught at the school had been Cultivated by him to its extreme, reaching a state of consummate skill.

At the same time, the Two-Headed Sheep was closing in on the fatty, as Shen Xi was already a dead man in its eyes.

The fatty was completely terrified and frozen in place, having lost all will to resist, watching the grotesque and massive body of the Two-Headed Sheep approach.

Snap—

A hand suddenly grabbed the Two-Headed Sheep's shoulder, stopping its advance.

The Two-Headed Sheep turned its head and met Shen Xi's emotionless gaze.

It hadn't expected Shen Xi to be able to get up again. Then, it licked its two rows of teeth with a crimson tongue and sneered, "Alright, since you're in such a hurry, I'll make you the appetizer first..."

But no sooner had it spoken than a "crack" sound was heard. The Two-Headed Sheep's entire shoulder, along with one arm, was instantly torn off, blood and flesh splattering. It let out a heart-wrenching shriek.

Fear and confusion flashed in the Two-Headed Sheep's eyes simultaneously.

It couldn't understand how this human, who had just been so vulnerable, had suddenly become so powerful!

But Shen Xi gave it no time to think.

After tearing off one arm, Shen Xi immediately reached out and firmly gripped the Two-Headed Sheep's neck. His seemingly slender body erupted with incredible strength, lifting the massive Two-Headed Sheep off the ground.

A pleading look began to flash in the Two-Headed Sheep's eyes... But the next second, snap!

Shen Xi extended his other hand and cleanly twisted its neck.

The Two-Headed Sheep, which had just been on a killing spree, met the same fate as Zhao Minsheng, becoming a headless corpse. Blood from its chest cavity gushed out from the severed end, and then it fell to the ground... Shen Xi was splattered with blood on his face and expressionlessly threw away the sheep's head in his hand.

He felt no excitement after killing a demonic human.

The improvement of his Martial Arts Realm was accompanied by a change in his state of mind.

Is this the power of the Transcendent Realm?

He had thought it would take some effort, but he didn't expect to kill the Two-Headed Sheep in just two moves!

"Boss... Boss!" Just then, the fatty's voice rang out in his ears again.

The fatty swallowed, looking at Shen Xi with some trepidation, his entire expression showing an unbelievable shock.

He even doubted whether the person in front of him was still the Shen Xi he knew.

You know, he had just killed a demonic human!

That was a demonic human!

"Let's go back."

"Ah? Oh, okay! Okay!" Hearing Shen Xi's voice, the fatty finally let out a sigh of relief. But after he turned and took two steps, he noticed Shen Xi hadn't moved and immediately looked back in confusion.

Shen Xi gave a bitter smile: "You go back. I won't be returning."

Upon hearing this, the fatty's face suddenly changed. He looked at the Two-Headed Sheep's blood on Shen Xi's body and finally realized something, belatedly.

Two-Headed Sheep are pack demonic humans, and they always seek revenge.

Shen Xi, stained with the Two-Headed Sheep's blood, would surely not escape the revenge of the Two-Headed Sheep clan. If Shen Xi returned now, the Two-Headed Sheep, with their amazing sense of smell, would bring catastrophic disaster.

"Boss!" The fatty's eyes reddened. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

If he had known, he should have listened to Shen Xi and ignored those people, and none of this would have happened.

Shen Xi stepped forward and patted the fatty's shoulder: "Go back and tell my parents that I found a summer job and won't be back for these two months. Also..." Shen Xi glanced at the corpses on the ground, "Remember, we didn't meet after school, and you didn't run into Zhao Minsheng and his group. Got it?"

"Got it." The fatty wiped away his tears. So many Inner City students had died; it was bound to be trouble later.

Shen Xi was doing this to protect him.

"I'm leaving." Shen Xi waved his hand and turned to leave, leaving behind a dashing figure.

However, the slightly reddened eyes at the moment of turning betrayed him.

The next two months would be the last of his life. What awaited him was the vengeful pursuit of the Two-Headed Sheep clan!
