88 Demon Slaying List!
“We won’t drive everyone away. The current situation is difficult, and the world is changing. You’re not having a good time, but there are also nearly a thousand mouths waiting to eat in the dojo. I hope everyone can understand.”
Rong Li’s eyes slowly swept across the crowd.
“If anyone doesn’t want to understand, then the dojo will definitely not be polite with you! Those who overstep boundaries will be like this tree!”
Rong Li’s eyes sharpened, and he suddenly punched a locust tree that was as thick as a human’s waist.
Bang! Bang!
Squeak…
With a crisp sound, the locust tree slowly fell to the snow where Rong Li had hit.
The people in front of the gate were so scared that they took two steps back and lowered their heads, no longer saying anything.
The matter in front of the dojo was quietly resolved by Rong Li’s punch.
“My two junior brothers, follow me.” Rong Li looked at Qin Huai and the other two, and the three of them walked to the side.
“In the past two days, according to the news that we received from the escorts in the towns and villages below, a large number of demons have entered the territory of Pingnan to wreak havoc and eat people.”
Rong Li’s voice paused.
“To say something inhuman, it’s fine if the demons only eat people. If they eat less, there will be fewer bandits around Pingnan who will smash, rob, and burn. More people will survive this harsh winter.”
“I think…” Qi Yangbing was interrupted by Rong Li.
“But now, the demons not only eat people, but they also attack the granaries that store eastern grain and the merchant teams that deliver goods. If we let them continue, the prices of goods in the city will soar.”
“Yes…” Qi Yangbing sighed.
Rong Li continued, “I can’t leave the dojo. Junior Brother Qi, Junior Brother Qin, Fang Han, you and the disciples of the eight major dojos will lead teams into the mountains to eliminate the demons!”
“I will follow Eldest Senior Brother’s orders!” Qin Huai cupped his fists.
“I will follow Eldest Senior Brother’s orders!” Qi Yangbing quickly added.
“You guys go and gather the disciples on the drill ground. We’ll talk about the demons.”
…
On the drill ground, one hundred and thirty-seven disciples of the dojo stood in a dark mass.
Many of them had died at the hands of Hong San, and many of them had also died tragically in the disaster of Li Bowu.
But there were people who advanced later. They were barely able to maintain sufficient combat power.
“Demons are a race blessed by the heavens. They are born with strong physical bodies and powerful qi and blood. Their realms correspond to our human race’s, and they are also divided into nine refinements.
“It’s just that their cultivation doesn’t advance through cultivation techniques, but through the constant transformation of age. And the speed of their transformation is determined by the level of their bloodline and the number of living beings they have devoured.
“In the same realm, do not fight head-on with a demon, especially in a physical battle. Even if you’re one or two realms higher, your body might not be as tough as them
“It’s best to have more than three people fighting one. That’s the safest way.”
Rong Li’s words caused a commotion in the crowd in front of him, and their eyes couldn’t help but fill with worry.
Very quickly, he changed the topic.
“But it’s also because of their strong blood and flesh that the flesh of demons is the best qi and blood tonic for us.
“Now that resources are scarce in Pingnan City, a bowl of vitality soup has dropped slightly. However, it was still an astronomical price of thirty taels a bowl! And this is a case of demand but no supply.
“There’s no need to mention demon meat. It’s not even sold in the market. Even in the rich county city, demon meat is already sold for ten taels a jin.”
Rong Li stretched out his hand slowly and counted with his fingers.
“If a pig demon weighs 400 pounds, and after removing the skin, bones, and internal organs, the refined demon meat is only 100 pounds… That’ll be one thousand taels of silver.
“That’s a pure profit! Now, around Pingnan, there are 1,000 taels of silver everywhere. The average person can earn it.”
The temptation of silver was laid out in front of everyone, and with Rong Li’s ‘sincere’ voice, the initial worry and fear instantly disappeared.
As the saying goes, a 100% profit can make people go crazy, and a 200% profit can make people go even crazier. This kind of business would give rise to a group of desperate people.
Qin Huai, who was listening from below, was also rather tempted. After all, the huge profit that the Luo manor had made from making armor in the past month was only worth ten pig demons.
Being a martial artist was really a business that burned money and earned money.
“There’s one more important point.” Rong Li’s speech slowed down.
“The eight martial arts centers and the city lord’s mansion will come up with a demon judgment board. A first refinement demon will give one point, a second refinement demon will give two points, and so on. You need to provide the demons’ eyes and fangs as proof.”
“What can these points be exchanged for?” Li Zhang shouted excitedly in the crowd.
“Armor and weapons from the Changshan Dojo and Thunderbolt Dojo, and rare herbs from the Six Harmonies Dojo, Tyrant Fist Dojo, and Crane Dojo. Also, the girls from the Mang Mountain Saber Dojo and White Wave Fist Dojo…”
“Can Overflowing Fragrance brothel’s top courtesan, Miss Shaoxiang, also be chosen?” someone shouted. This question seemed to heat up the harsh winter.
“Of course, you can.” Rong Li also smiled knowingly. “Miss Shaoxiang, who only sells her skills and not her body, has already made it clear that she will accompany whoever gets first place for two months in a row.”
“I, Li Qunying, will definitely be the first on the demon slaying list!”
“As a martial artist, I will take it upon myself to eliminate demons!”
Everyone’s enthusiasm was even higher than when Rong Li had just dropped one thousand taels of silver for one demon.
Qin Huai looked at the fanatical crowd and muttered in a low voice, “This Miss Shaoxiang… Could she be a fox demon?”
This was because he had discovered that some of the senior and junior sisters in the dojo had strange looks in their eyes when they mentioned Miss Shaoxiang.
