Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

"Don't flatter me.

Rescuing you means our squad will be targeted by the Wind, Giant, and other squads, bearing great risk," Lou Yi said expressionlessly, "If you want to gain benefits, you have to make corresponding sacrifices. There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"If you're unwilling to pay, you can leave now; I won't stop you."

With words spoken to this extent, the followers couldn't help but look at Shi Caifeng.

Shi Caifeng turned her head away, silent, clearly looking up to Lou Yi as the leader.

Seeing this, some of the followers had no choice but to reluctantly hand over a hundred taels of silver.

However, in the whispers that followed, there were some complaints, obviously with reluctance.

"Ha, exchanging a hundred taels of silver for a life, and still not happy?" Yan Ze with the little braids sneered incessantly.

"Some people always like to hold others to the standards of saints while holding themselves to the standards of scoundrels," Shi Qingde couldn't help but sigh.

...

On the other side of the camp, inside a large tent.

The leaders of the Dragon Soul Squad Xu Shenjian, the Wind Squad Li Feng, the Star Phoenix Squad Tan Lang, the Giant Squad Giant, and the Mountain Chasing Squad Fu Shan.

The five Full-Cycle leaders, after gathering their squads, assembled to discuss the next steps after integrating the other squads.

"This Two-headed Wolf Demon should be on par with the Beast King class, extremely difficult to kill, and many of us might end up trapped."

"Even if it's difficult, we have to kill it! This Wolf Demon is weaker compared to the Beast Kings recorded in past books; we still have a chance!"

"Indeed, if we manage to kill this Wolf Demon, according to past practices, presenting a complete corpse would earn us more than one Top-Grade Blood Rushing Pill from the City Lord's Mansion!"

Hearing the term 'Top-Grade Blood Rushing Pill.'

The eyes of the five Full-Cycles present all lit up.

This elixir is very effective for Full-Cycle Martial Artists trying to break through to Martial Artist level.

As for the side effect of the Blood Rushing Pill that stifles potential, it's for Martial Artists.

Once you break through to Martial Artist, who still cares about potential or not?

Throughout Wangjiang County, Martial Artists are definitely the small group standing at the top of the pyramid.

The treasure of the 'Top-Grade Blood Rushing Pill' instantly made the five Full-Cycles decide to join forces against the Two-headed Wolf Demon.

"The Beast King can command beasts. We can let those newly recruited people deal with its minions.

However, the Beast King itself is extremely strong, and whoever faces it first among us will be in great danger," the round-faced, bearded Xu Shenjian brought up the challenge.

The major Full-Cycle Martial Artists fell silent instantly.

At the level of the Beast King, its strength far exceeds ordinary Beast Spirits, reaching demonic levels, where only Martial Artists could possibly handle it.

Whichever of them goes first might be picked off by the rest afterwards.

"Let's not forget, that new face in Shi Caifeng's team isn't weaker than any of us," the broad-faced Li Feng mentioned offhandedly, causing the others' eyes to light up.

"Alright, let's have him take the lead to test the Wolf Demon's reality," Xu Shenjian sneered sinisterly.

"What if he refuses?" Fu Shan, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"Hehe, then he has to choose whether to die now or later," a hint of malice flashed across the Giant's massive and fierce face.

...

The sky turned red, the moon faded away, and everything in the camp became completely visible.

The place was littered with gravel, broken wood, corpses, and red soil. The once lively camp now felt utterly lifeless.

Lou Yi and Shi Caifeng led the way out of the tent, intending to leave the camp, only to be stopped by a team.

The leader was none other than the first Martial Artist to incite violence in the camp, Poison Snake.

"What are you doing?" Shi Caifeng shouted angrily.

Poison Snake chuckled coldly, saying nothing.

At that moment, a gentle voice came from behind.

"Beast tides are erupting. Tai City is soon to fall into danger.

As Beast Hunter Guards, we should find ways to prevent the beast tide; how can we leave prematurely?" Li Feng, the Wind Squad leader, had a face full of sighs for the suffering of others.

"Prevent it? Do you have a method?" Shi Caifeng continued leading her squad forward, intent on leaving.

'Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!'

Suddenly, someone behind Li Feng made a move.

Several arrows accurately pierced the ground a foot in front of Shi Caifeng's step, sending a blatant warning.

Shi Caifeng's face turned cold, her Blood Qi surging anxiously.

"Join forces to kill that Two-headed Wolf Demon, and maybe we can stop the beast tide, saving countless people from disaster," Li Feng said slowly.

"You?" Shi Caifeng sneered, "The Beast King's power far surpasses ordinary Martial Artists; only a Martial Artist might conquer it."

"The Beast King is a beast, not a human, its intelligence is limited. If we find its weakness and set a strategy, it's not necessarily unkillable," Li Feng said confidently, "In our camp, there are five Full-Cycles. If you add your little brother next to you, we're highly likely to succeed."

With that, everyone's gaze fell on a man beside Shi Caifeng.

He was over six feet tall, with an unremarkable appearance, seemingly in his twenties.

Yet, remembering his strength comparable to a Full-Cycle made him appear quite terrifying.

'Could he be a young master from a noble family?' someone internally wondered.

And this question had already been discussed by the five Full-Cycles.

They all came from Tai City factions and had never heard of a figure like Lou Yi, ruling out such a possibility long ago.

Then they heard the man question, "What if I don't want to?"

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere around them became tenser.

"Do you realize that one should act with the trend, and those who act against it often end up dead and buried?" Li Feng's smile vanished, staring intently at Lou Yi.

'Thud, thud, thud!'

Giant, the leader of the Giant Squad, nearly ten feet tall and holding two Wolf Fang Clubs as thick as small trees, stepped out from behind Li Feng looking like a humanoid bear.

"You'll have to ask my club first," he grinned, revealing yellow teeth, his eyes filled with malicious intent.

Meanwhile, Xu Shenjian from the Dragon Soul Squad, Fu Shan from the Mountain Chasing Squad, and Tan Lang from the Star Phoenix Squad also approached from another direction.

Each holding fierce weapons, making threatening expressions, they surrounded Lou Yi, Shi Caifeng, and others from four directions.

'Boom!'

Each person activated their Secret Blood, their momentum skyrocketing, their skin gleaming with red flashes, appearing like humanoid light strips.

Shi Caifeng and Lou Yi were fine.

But Jiang Chenyu, Shi Qingde, Yan Ze, and others with lower cultivation felt their bodies weaken, their scalps tingle, and mouths dry under the pressure of the major Full-Cycles' aura.

As for those mid-way joiners to the Cai Feng Squad, they were even more pitiful.

Many collapsed to the ground in fright, with some even wetting their pants.

Such momentum is quite mysterious, indescribable yet genuinely present.

Lou Yi's expression remained unchanged: "I want to leave; you can't stop me."

He paused and added, "If you want me to join, fine, but you have to let them go."

He pointed to those unfamiliar Beast Hunter Guards who had joined them.

After all, he had taken their money and ought to uphold some professional ethics.

"Fine." Li Feng said indifferently.

He had no regard for those fence-sitters; as long as Lou Yi and Shi Caifeng, the important ones, were present, it was adequate.

"Come on, kid, let's take a look at the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range," Giant sneered.

He looked at Lou Yi as if he were already dead.

The Wolf Fang Club in his hand seemed ready to strike at any moment.

Meanwhile, Fu Shan and Xu Shenjian led their teams to 'guard' the left and right of the Cai Feng Squad.

Shi Caifeng's expression was anxious, her fingers discreetly tapping Lou Yi's waist, only to be caught by Lou Yi.

'Don't worry.' He traced these two words into Shi Caifeng's palm.
