Chapter 27

As the sky grew darker, a chill swept in, and the streets gradually quieted down, the barking of dogs becoming increasingly clear.

Jiang Ping'an walked towards the forest to the west, seeking a demonic beast to test his Heavenly Slaughter Technique.

Meng Jing, who had sneaked out to buy pastries, was slightly taken aback when she saw Jiang Ping'an.

"What is he doing out so late? Is he also sneaking out to buy sweets?"

Meng Jing was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something and paused in her steps. "Could he be meeting a fairy in secret?"

At this thought, she suddenly felt a bit angry. "As a soldier, how can he do such a thing? Watch me catch you and report you to my father!"

Meng Jing put the pastries in the small bag at her waist, took a few small steps, and stealthily followed him.

Entering the forest, Jiang Ping'an touched his right eye.

Although the forest was pitch black, his vision was completely unaffected.

It wasn't because he had learned some kind of spell, but because of his right eye.

The known abilities of his right eye included manipulating objects, enhancing the power of the Heavenly Slaughter Technique, and improving his vision.

He wondered if this eye had any other abilities.

"Roar~"

A wild beast's roar suddenly echoed through the forest, shaking the trees and startling many birds and beasts, making it extremely noticeable in the darkness.

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Ping'an's eyes lit up. There was a demonic beast he could test his Heavenly Slaughter Technique on.

He dashed towards the direction of the sound.

Meng Jing, hiding behind, took a bite of the sweet pastry. "Is this guy not meeting someone in secret, but training instead?"

She continued to follow him.

After about half an incense stick's time, Meng Jing suddenly stopped, her beautiful eyes widening.

In her line of sight, a very beautiful steed appeared.

It was called a horse, but it was very different from an ordinary horse.

This demonic beast had a long tail and long hair that danced in the wind, looking graceful and handsome.

Its golden eyes, tall stature, and explosive muscles rippled with movement.

A faint white light surrounded it, making it stand out prominently in the darkness.

How could there be such a beautiful horse in the world?

However, this horse was peculiar. Other horses eat grass, but this one was eating a demonic beast!

Meng Jing noticed the demonic beast, and naturally, so did Jiang Ping'an.

But he didn't recognize what kind of demonic beast it was. In this world, there were countless living beings, and it was normal not to recognize some demonic beasts.

"I wonder what level this demonic beast is."

Jiang Ping'an wanted to charge forward but was afraid that the demonic beast might be too powerful, putting him in danger.

Just as he thought this, a warm current flowed through his right eye, and he could see the energy fluctuations within the demonic beast clearly.

"Level 5 Qi Cultivation?"

Jiang Ping'an was slightly taken aback.

What was happening? Why could he see the energy inside the demonic beast?

Did this right eye have the ability to discern the levels of living beings?

Under normal circumstances, it was difficult to know the exact strength of a demonic beast or a cultivator if they didn't release their aura.

But this right eye had some special power that allowed him to see the energy fluctuations of the other party even if they didn't release their energy!

Jiang Ping'an was overjoyed.

This ability would greatly enhance his survival capabilities.

After all, knowing the strength of the other party in advance would allow him to prepare accordingly.

Seeing that the demonic beast's level wasn't high, Jiang Ping'an suddenly charged out from behind the tree.

The white demonic beast, which was eating, immediately ran away.

At this moment, Jiang Ping'an unleashed the Heavenly Slaughter Technique.

Countless ghostly figures appeared, some with their heads falling off, some turning into mummies, some with their bodies broken in half, and blood forming rivers...

The forest, which was already somewhat desolate, became even more chilling and eerie with the appearance of these tragic corpses.

The insect chirping abruptly stopped, and Meng Jing's small body suddenly stiffened, trembling with fear on her face.

"Heavenly... Heavenly Slaughter Technique... How many people has he killed..."

She recognized the spell Jiang Ping'an was using.

The strange phenomena released by the four killers she encountered during the day were not as terrifying as the phenomena released by Jiang Ping'an alone!

A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

Is this guy a great demon?

The white demonic beast, which was closer to Jiang Ping'an, felt the deepest impact. Its golden eyes were filled with fear.

Jiang Ping'an himself didn't feel well either. He felt dizzy.

Using the Heavenly Slaughter Technique really drained his spirit. Just a moment of use left him struggling to keep up.

Jiang Ping'an quickly retracted the phenomena and jumped onto the strange white demonic beast.

The moment he saw the demonic beast, Jiang Ping'an fell in love with it.

This demonic beast was truly handsome, taller than ordinary horses, with flowing hair and a strange white glow surrounding it.

Ever since he saw a warrior riding an eagle, Jiang Ping'an had wanted a demonic beast as a mount.

He had even asked Old Li how to find a demonic beast mount, and the other party said he could buy one in Blackwind County, but it was very expensive.

Jiang Ping'an never had the time to go to Blackwind County, so the matter was put on hold.

Seeing this beautiful and handsome demonic beast today, Jiang Ping'an was once again tempted.

Jumping onto the demonic beast's back, Jiang Ping'an tightly hugged its neck.

The demonic beast let out a whinny and jumped forcefully, trying to throw Jiang Ping'an off.

But Jiang Ping'an was determined to tame this demonic beast, no matter what.

The demonic beast was incredibly angry, using all its strength to jump high onto a thick tree branch, then flipping its body to crash to the ground.

"Bang!"

The two of them hit the ground hard, sending dust flying.

Jiang Ping'an let out a muffled groan but still held onto the beast's neck tightly, refusing to let go.

Jiang Ping'an hugged even tighter, "Submit to me!"

The demonic beast seemed to understand his words and became even more enraged, jumping even higher and crashing to the ground again with its back.

Jiang Ping'an still didn't let go, "Submit to me!"

"I want this demonic beast too! I want it!"

Meng Jing, who had recovered, saw what Jiang Ping'an was doing and guessed what he was trying to do.

She also liked this beautiful demonic beast and ran over from a distance, jumping onto the beast's back.

The demonic beast whinnied and struggled fiercely, its golden eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

How dare these humans ride on its back! Unforgivable!

Meng Jing almost fell off and clung tightly to Jiang Ping'an's back.

"Get down quickly! It's dangerous!" Jiang Ping'an shouted.

The other party was the general's daughter, and the general had been kind to him. He couldn't let her be in danger.

"No! This demonic beast is so beautiful, I want it too. Tame it and sell it to me."

Meng Jing's legs were a bit short, so she couldn't stay on the horse's back. She wrapped her legs around Jiang Ping'an's body.

Jiang Ping'an was about to say something when the white demonic beast suddenly started running at a terrifying speed.

The speed scared him, and he grabbed the beast's neck even tighter.

The trees rushed past them at a crazy speed, and the branches hitting their bodies were extremely painful.

Meng Jing lay on Jiang Ping'an's back, her eyes squinted, too afraid to fully open them, and her face was filled with shock.

"This demonic beast is almost as fast as my father! Has it already developed a demonic spirit?"

A demonic spirit was equivalent to a cultivator's Foundation Establishment stage.

Jiang Ping'an was also shocked by the demonic beast's speed. It was so fast!

"It hasn't developed a demonic spirit yet, it's only at the Level 5 Qi Cultivation stage."

"Impossible! How can a Level 5 Qi Cultivation demonic beast be so fast? It's not a flying demonic beast!"

Meng Jing's voice was a bit hoarse, clearly more shocked after learning the demonic beast's level.
