33: Finally, some work has arrived. This kid's a bit fierce.

"Tianxing, you're here quite early!"

"Early? If I were any later, I'd be considered absent today."

"Hahaha... Anyway, Head Wang protects you, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"Don't, if Head Wang hears that, I'll be in trouble. Alright, I'm not going to chat with you guys, I'm going over there first."

"Go, go. Let's have a drink together in a couple of days."

"Definitely, definitely!"

Dressed in a black and red uniform, with a long saber at his waist, Shen Tianxing strode leisurely into the Purgatory Division. Along the way, people often greeted him with smiles.

It had been three days since he was transferred from the Ministry of Justice, and he quickly became familiar with everything here, including forming good relationships with the Prison Officials, Prison Guards, and Judicial Officers.

All of this was mainly due to his good interpersonal skills.

For these three days, there had been no prisoners to execute, which meant Shen Tianxing had no opportunity to gain experience points. However, fortunately, the Yin Sha Death Qi in the Purgatory Division was dense, so even without experience points, it did not hinder his Cultivation.

In three days, Shen Tianxing's Cultivation advanced another level, reaching the fourth stage of the Vajra Realm. At the same time, the Hundred Battles Heart Method entered its eighth Realm!

It was just a pity that he hadn't gained any experience points.

For those money-grubbers who are obsessed with wealth, not picking up money on the road is equivalent to losing money, which can make them miserable for days.

Shen Tianxing was not a money-grubber, but not gaining experience points had indeed made him miserable for several days... Evening!

"Tianxing, there are two prisoners to be executed tonight. You can do it."

Just before the end of his shift, Wang Hu approached Shen Tianxing and assigned him the task.

Originally bored and pondering whether to find another brothel for drinks and music, Shen Tianxing's eyes immediately lit up.

"Finally, some work!!!"

The days without experience points were too difficult to bear.

Even though his Cultivation here was fast, it couldn't compare to experience points. That feeling of directly advancing several Realms was too wonderful!

"Alright, then you go back and rest first, and come back at midnight."

Wang Hu smiled and nodded.

"Oh, and get ready. Those unlucky guys you caught before are also to be executed tomorrow. I'll hand them over to you as well."

Wang Hu said, preparing to leave.

Shen Tianxing, however, was stunned.

The five fellows from the Corpse Control Sect were also going to be executed?

It seemed the value they held had already been extracted.

After all, they were just Ghost Path Cultivators in the Mortal Transformation Realm, so what they knew must be very limited.

"Head Wang, wait..."

Shen Tianxing called out to Wang Hu.

It's just killing a few Mortal Transformation Realm Cultivators, why wait until tomorrow?

Send them on their way today!!!

"Something wrong?"

Shen Tianxing nodded and said, "Head Wang, I'm familiar with those five fellows. Their Cultivation isn't high, and I don't think we need to wait until tomorrow. I'll send them all off tonight!"

Two days' work, all done in one day!

Is that acceptable?

Wang Hu's eyes widened, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

Everyone knew that the prisoners executed by an Executioner had the heaviest grievances, which corrupted Qi and blood, and caused Evil Qi to cling to them. Which Judicial Officer in the Purgatory Division didn't try to shirk such tasks?

Not only was Shen Tianxing not afraid, but he was actively seeking it out... This kid is a bit fierce!

"Tianxing, you know the ways of an Executioner better than I do. Aren't you afraid..."

Some things didn't need to be said explicitly; Wang Hu was just giving him a reminder.

After all, Shen Tianxing was no ordinary person. With his Vajra Realm Cultivation and youth, his Qi and blood were like a bear's, and he could withstand it for now.

"A mere seven people are nothing to me!"

Shen Tianxing knew Wang Hu's good intentions.

But what he cared about more were those experience points!

If he could get them early, it was certainly better to get them early, to secure them. As the saying goes, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

If possible, he wished he could take on all the tasks an Executioner had to do!

This idea might not be impossible to try.

Wang Hu nodded, patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, you can handle it as you see fit, but you still need to take care of yourself."

"You're executing tonight, so you don't need to come tomorrow."

"Thank you, Head Wang!"

Shen Tianxing quickly cupped his hands in salute.

Everything was ready, just waiting for the execution at night.

Shen Tianxing bid farewell to Wang Hu and returned to his usual Cultivation cell to begin Cultivating.

Since arriving here, he had been Cultivating constantly, not daring to relax for a moment. As his strength became more refined, Shen Tianxing felt that his current Cultivation was still far from enough... The night was dark and windy, a night for killing!

Inside the cold and eerie Purgatory Division, candlelight flickered in the darkness.

But the scattered candlelight brought no warmth; instead, it made the chilling Evil Qi even denser.

Shen Tianxing opened his eyes from Cultivation.

In the dim, dark cell, two divine lights flashed in his eyes, allowing him to see the surroundings clearly.

"It's almost time!"

Most executions in the Purgatory Division were held at midnight.

This was because the prisoners held here were all heinous villains, such as demons, or Cultivators from the Ghost Path, whose true forms could not be shown to ordinary people. If commoners saw them, they would be scared to death.

Furthermore, after these successful Cultivators died, their grievances were extremely heavy, making public execution unsuitable. Nighttime was the most appropriate time.

Shen Tianxing patted the dust off himself and walked out of the cell, heading towards the execution chamber.

He was the Executioner tonight, and everyone would wait for his arrival to assist him in executing the prisoners.

Besides the five Disciples of the Corpse Control Sect, Shen Tianxing already knew the other two prisoners to be executed.

Two demons!

Their Cultivation wasn't high, but their identities were not insignificant.

One Grey Heron, one Pangolin!

Among demons, these two races also had a considerable reputation, especially the Pangolin, which was best at finding Treasure Troves and was supported by many demons.

The Grey Heron's bones and blood could be used as medicine and were called a 'mobile treasure medicine' among demons.

They were not only coveted by demons but also severely hunted by Martial Dao Cultivators, making their numbers quite rare.

The Grey Heron to be executed tonight had just gained the ability to transform into human form, but its Foundation was incomplete, and its precious blood had lost its spiritual essence, rendering it valueless, which is why it was to be executed.

Upon arriving at the execution chamber, Wang Hu and others were already waiting there.

On the execution platform, a row of seven prisoners awaiting execution had already been brought.

It wasn't Shen Tianxing's first time seeing demons; there were some in the first layer of the prison.

However, the two demons, the Grey Heron and the Pangolin, to be executed tonight, although they had the ability to transform, could not fully transform into human form.

Most of their bodies still retained demonic features.

Their heads, hands, feet, and tails still maintained their original appearance, and their scales and feathers were clearly visible.

"Tianxing, it's almost time."

It wasn't Shen Tianxing's first execution, and furthermore, everyone now knew he possessed Vajra Realm Cultivation, so they were completely at ease.

Otherwise, Wang Hu would not have entrusted these prisoners to him alone for execution.

Shen Tianxing nodded and walked towards the execution platform.

The two demons did not speak, but instead trembled and tightened their bodies, appearing very scared.

However, the Disciples of the Corpse Control Sect, upon seeing Shen Tianxing, cursed loudly!

"Boy, you'll die a horrible death!"

"What kind of skill is it to catch us by sneak attack?"

"If you dare to kill us, the Corpse Control Sect will not let you go. You and your family will die miserably!!!"

The Soul Sealing Lock only restricted their Cultivation, but it couldn't control their mouths.

Shen Tianxing looked at them, too lazy to bother.

Those about to die, no matter how stubborn their words, could not escape death!
