Chapter 76: Tiger Fang Blade
eld the boy, his usually stern face softened by a gentle smile."Since there was nothing to do today, I left court early.""It's good that he's back from court early, we can prepare some breakfast right...Shen Changqing once again went to the Demon Slayer Hall.
Upon his arrival, the old man originally in charge of exchanging things at the Slayer Hall was startled.
"It's you again!"
That's it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He realized his slip of the tongue and then changed his tone.
"May I ask what you would like to exchange"
Shen Changqing took out Ji Tianlu's token, and the old man, seeing this, skillfully took out the list.
To this.
He didn't open it to look, but instead said directly: "I want to exchange that tiger-tooth knife."
This is a test.
When I came out of the Slayer's Hall again.
Now, Shen Changqing's waist bore an additional blade.
The hilt was jet black, with faint golden veins visible. The intricate carvings resembled a ferocious tiger baring its fangs, sending a chill down anyone's spine who beheld it.
Tiger tooth dagger!
It was originally a precious sword wielded by a powerful martial artist.
Later, that martial arts master went mad with his sword and killed many commoners and other martial artists. The Demon Suppression Bureau had no choice but to step in and forcibly suppress him.
Therefore.
The Tiger's Tooth Dagger became a treasured item in the Demon Suppression Division.

“The Tiger Fang Blade carries a bad omen. Many have wielded it, but all met with a violent end. Should you possess this blade, be prepared for the consequences.”
>
in my mind.
Recalling the words of the old man when he had just exchanged the Tiger's Tooth Blade, Shen Changqing's hand grasped the hilt.
The moment his fingers touched the hilt of the blade.
He could clearly feel that a faint, almost imperceptible aura of menace was emanating from it.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
As for this murderous aura.
As early as when he received the Tiger's Tooth saber, Shen Changqing knew.
That's all.
Qi can have an effect on the minds of those around a person.
But for him, that was nothing to worry about.
The essence of his own mastery, the Hundred Battles True Intent, is primarily based on killing intent. The killing intent of the Tiger Fang Blade will only complement and enhance the Hundred Battles True Intent, there will be absolutely no negative impact.
What is unknown.
Shen Changqing didn't take it to heart.
Strong enough.
Deng Gu visited again.
"Elder Shen, this is what General Ji ordered me to bring you."
That was a file.
Shen Changqing took the case file, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
That's right.
Farewells to Deng Gu.
Back in his room, Shen Changqing opened the file.
What is written above.
It is precisely in the Southern Ghost Prefecture where all kinds of demons and monsters exist.
"There are quite a few demons and monsters in Nan You Mansion— "
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Looking at the contents of the file, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
There's nothing else.
Here's the translation, keeping only the text content and HTML tags:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The file records are, frankly speaking, too numerous.
At a rough glance, there were over a hundred places.
The text you provided contains only HTML tags. There is no text to translate within the > markers. Could you please provide the actual text you want translated
And.
The demons recorded on the case files, even the weakest ones, are resentment spirits. That means if we include anything weaker than resentment spirits, the number would easily double.
After looking at it for a long time.

Shen Changqing's face was grave: "The Nanyou Mansion, to put it severely, could be considered riddled with holes. With over a hundred demonic and evil haunts scattered across the entire region, it’s no wonder they had to seek aid from the capital city."
Demons and disasters, the existence of one can cause quite a few casualties.
Other government offices.
Wherever there is an occurrence of demons or calamities, the Demon Suppression Division will dispatch personnel to eradicate them, absolutely not tolerating the existence of demons for too long.
Like Nanyou Mansion.
It would be excessive to have hundreds of demons existing at the same time.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This also explains why the Town Demon Division of Nanyu Prefecture would need to request aid from the capital.
Failure to eliminate all demons at the first instance indicates that Nan Yu Fu's Demon Suppression Division is lacking in both heart and ability.
Furthermore, considering Xun Qu's predicament in Luoyang City beforehand.
The demonic creatures in Nan You Fu are quite powerful.
No need to say anything else.
Only on the file.
Shen Changqing saw no less than twenty or thirty terrifying and eerie monsters.
Although there isn't one above the rank of General.
But.
Just because something is not recorded in the files, it doesn't mean that it didn't happen.
If that's really the case.
With the help of the garrisoned generals of Nanyou Mansion, all the evil and monstrous entities could have been eradicated. It's a shame that they are still allowed to linger within Nanyou Mansion until this day.
"Either the Nan Yu Mansion is inhabited by demons, keeping the garrison commanders preoccupied, or there's another reason holding them back."
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Shen Changqing looked at the contents of the file, but his heart was secretly pondering.
To figure things out, the simplest way is to ask Ji Tianlu.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But judging from the files, even if there was something, Qi Tianlu might not be willing to tell him.
Therefore.
Asking too many questions also wastes time.
"If you're looking for Xun Qu, he might tell me."
Upon thinking of Xun Qu, Shen Changqing's brows rose.
Although he hadn't interacted with the other party much, just from their brief encounter in Luoyang City, he understood that the other person was someone who hated evil and was also quite compassionate.
He saved the other person.
If there were truly any problems, Xun Qu was unlikely to conceal the truth.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
However.
Shen Changqing didn't bother to investigate the meaning behind it any further.
He now just wants to slay demons, gain kill values, and further improve his martial arts intent.
After slaying the demon in Luoyang City.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After a hundred battles, the true meaning has directly broken through from 20% to 60%.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
...give it a sense of anticipation.
...itself is already very close, the threshold of the peak of the spiritual system.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
The so-called peak.
Shen Changqing now knew that reaching the pinnacle wasn't about stepping into the tenth realm.
Just like a physical body.
Reaching the second stage, or truly arriving at the point of no further progression in the second stage, can both be called the peak.
So.
The peak of a spiritual system and the peak of another spiritual system are also different.
Changes in the sea of knowledge.
This gave Shen Changqing a certain understanding of the pinnacle of the spiritual system.
>
“If I'm not mistaken, as soon as Hundred Battles True Intent reaches seventy percent, I will have entered the realm of the peak of the mental system.”
Although it is recorded in ancient texts.
At the pinnacle of the spiritual system, it's not specified into how many parts it's divided.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But.
When one reaches a certain level of understanding, there will be some degree of enlightenment in their heart.
Even if seven out of ten represented the peak of the mental system, then several branch heads of the Hidden Heart Pavilion would probably not be comparable to an ordinary peak of the mental system.
> Seven out of ten is the peak.
"Ten percent is also the peak."
Anyone who can become a Pavilion Master is a peak master-level expert.
And.
Several lords of the division, how many years they have existed for, no one knows.
That's it.
Even when they were first becoming the Lords, they were only at the peak of the spiritual realm. After so many years, they must have broken through to a higher level.
That is all.
Shen Changqing could sense something on Yi Ning.
The other party is definitely more than just a common spiritual system peak.
In other words.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If he were to fight Yining himself, before his mastery of the Hundred Battles True Meaning breaks through, he should not be Yining's opponent.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
But now.
Then that's not necessarily so.
Even though it doesn't reach the peak, 60% of true intent is still significantly stronger than 20%. Moreover, with his physical body entering the second stage, his overall strength is comparable to that of a truly peak existence within a system.
Of course.
These are just Shen Changqing's own estimates.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But he believed.
My own estimation won't differ too much from the actual result.
>
Especially the battle of Luoyang City gave him great confidence in himself.
As strong as a demon.
Ultimately, faced with himself, he could only flee in disgrace.
Even if that demon, perhaps the weakest among demons, were to appear.
demons.
It surpasses all other masters and monsters.
An ordinary sect master, let alone defeating demons, would find it a huge problem even to stand against them.
I carefully read through the case file again.
Immediately.
Shen Changqing has chosen a few locations.
Those few demons in those positions had middling strength. Although their spiritual contributions weren't much, they provided a considerable amount of killing points.
Speaking of...
Powerful demons contribute no more killing points than weak demons.
Just like the demon in Luoyang City, it only gave 200 points of killing value.
200 points of killing value.
Putting it on a strange creature, at most it would be equivalent to four heads of the evil-level strange creature.
Speaking of difficulty.
The demonic beings in Luoyang City are far more formidable than just four S-rank grotesque monsters. Even ten S-rank grotesque monsters wouldn't stand a chance against that demonic entity.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Therefore.
Although the files only record demonic creatures at their strongest as S-Class, the killing points they yield are not insignificant.
To save time.
Chen Changqing chose demons that were not too far from Poshan City, and the areas where each demon lived were not very large.
That's it.
This is a continuation of the previous text.
This allows him to harvest enough killing points in the shortest amount of time.
"But before that, I still need to improve my own strength."
Shen Changqing glanced at the panel, his heart pounding with excitement.
He has always been in the habit of not hoarding killing intent.
Every point of killing value, as soon as it is obtained, will be used immediately.
This is a test. Let's see if this works!
It's for no other reason.
Just to increase their chances of survival.
Here is the translation of your provided text: > Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Every increment of strength can play a crucial role in the coming battles.
Besides.
Killing value doesn't increase much, even if you keep it.
It's better to transform all waste into your own strength, that's the most practical approach.
Calm down.
Shen Changqing looked at the numbers on the panel. The first thing he focused his attention on was the big sun golden body.
External power vs. internal power.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Now, the focus is on external skills.
External techniques can enhance a martial artist's overall physical strength and expand their dantian, allowing them to hold more true energy.
So.
When there was a value for killing, he didn't have to consider it, and simply relied on the Great Sun Golden Body.
>When the kill value is insufficient, or when it reaches the next level for further improvement, they will turn their attention to cultivating the Great Sun Sutra.
>esolate sect seems rather useless.This is what the content looks like in English:If Tianzong's influence were large enough, it could completely establish branch sects on the foundation of Guhuangzong,...
