Chapter 32

Old Sha continued, "Yes, this thing is the hardest to kill. It’s covered in iron armor, with only one weak spot where you can stab it. And it’s extremely cunning; knowing it’s going to die, it will bite with its tail. If it bites you, it won’t be fatal, but you’ll need at least half a year to recover!"

Luo Li said in surprise, "Bite with its tail? You mean that snake-like tail?"

Old Sha replied, "Yes, yes! Be careful, Luo Li."

At this moment, the others came over and carried away the ox, snake, rabbit, insect, and chicken. They started slaughtering them, and the various wild beasts let out cries as they were about to die. The smell of blood spread, and the other spirit beasts that hadn’t been slaughtered also began to howl.

The eighteen lying Lipid Iron-Armored Tapirs on the ground didn’t make a sound. They were different from the other spirit beasts; they had intelligence equivalent to that of a seven or eight-year-old human child. They grunted and stared at Luo Li and the others with intense hatred. It was a chilling feeling, as if they were determined to bite you even if they were about to die. No wonder the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapirs were the hardest to kill.

Old Sha, Luo Li, and seven other laborers were responsible for slaughtering the pigs. Old Sha said, "Luo Li, watch carefully, you must be cautious."

Old Sha picked up a strange bamboo tube and poked the anus of a Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir. The tube inserted about seven inches, and the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir, in intense pain, couldn’t help but wrap its snake-like tail around the bamboo tube to prevent it from going in further. The bamboo tube contained a strange elemental energy, and once the snake-like tail wrapped around it, it couldn’t break free.

Old Sha said, "Alright, now it can’t use its tail to bite us!"

Then Old Sha directed the two laborers to carry the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir to the slaughterhouse and place it on a strange slaughter table. After placing it, Old Sha input true qi into the slaughter table, activating the array on it. The Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir’s limbs and head were pulled into a cross shape, causing intense pain.

The Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir struggled to pull back, and Old Sha controlled the slaughter table, exerting force. Suddenly, Old Sha released the control, and the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir’s limbs and head snapped back. Due to the force, its body curled up, and a gap appeared in the iron armor behind its head, which was its only weak spot.

Instantly, Old Sha stabbed it with a triangular bone-breaking knife, which penetrated a foot into the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir. The Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir struggled and howled loudly, but the slaughter table’s light ropes locked it in place. Soon, it stopped struggling and died.

Old Sha nodded and said, "Alright, one done, carry it away!"

The laborers carried the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir to the next skinning area, and someone started to clean the slaughter table, washing away the blood.

These laborers were ordinary people without true qi, so they couldn’t control the slaughter table. They also lacked divine sense, so they couldn’t seize the moment when the weak spot appeared. Therefore, only cultivators like Luo Li could do this job.

The blood flowed into a small river that ran through the outer courtyard. After passing through the outer courtyard, the river entered a cave and went underground, preventing pollution downstream.

Old Sha continued, "The key to slaughtering these pigs is to remember two points. First, control. You must use your divine sense to pull and press it, then release. If you don’t do it properly, it won’t expose its weak spot!

Second, you must stab it through. If you can’t penetrate its body, it won’t die quickly, and it might even cause it to break free from the slaughter table and attack people! You must be careful!

Actually, this is also a form of cultivation. The first point is to cultivate the control of true qi and the application of divine sense. The second point is to cultivate quick reflexes and agility!

Don’t think that there’s no future in the Shed Courtyard. Our Lingdie Sect’s toughest characters, who were brave and ruthless, all worked here in the past. They cultivated a killing aura here. Now, the sect’s top ten new stars, including Nalan Tingfeng, came from here three years ago!

Nalan Tingfeng is now the third disciple of the sect master and the strongest among the top ten new stars of the Lingdie Sect!"

Luo Li nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance!"

Old Sha was very good, teaching Luo Li about slaughtering pigs. This job was also a form of cultivation.

Luo Li touched the dead Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir, feeling it carefully. Then he went to the other Lipid Iron-Armored Tapirs, chose one, and poked its anus with the bamboo tube.

As soon as the bamboo tube entered, the snake-like tail wrapped around it. However, Luo Li didn’t move the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir. He touched its iron armor, feeling its body.

Luo Li touched it for a full quarter of an hour. By then, Old Sha had already killed another Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir and was watching Luo Li, shaking his head without saying anything.

Luo Li gradually smiled. He was different from them. He was a killer from the Seven Kill Sect, and killing was his profession. Through his sense of touch, he had already thoroughly understood the body of the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir. In his eyes, it was just a bit stronger than a pig. A complete set of slaughtering methods had already formed in his mind.

However, Luo Li didn’t act immediately. He was thinking and studying, and his smile grew more obvious.

Luo Li stood up and shouted, "Alright, carry this one to the slaughter table!"

Two laborers came over and carried the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir to the slaughter table. Then Luo Li began to control the slaughter table, pulling the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir’s limbs and head.

The slaughter table had its own source of spirit energy, consuming spirit stones. Controlling the slaughter table only required a bit of true qi.

Luo Li controlled the slaughter table while preparing. He was extremely confident that he could kill the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir with one stab, but he wouldn’t do it on the first try!

Because besides Yongchuan, there were seven or eight other cultivators nearby who were working but kept glancing over. They were waiting to see Luo Li’s failure.

To use the slaughter table to trick the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir into exposing its weak spot required a highly skilled use of divine sense and control of true qi. An ordinary new recruit couldn’t possibly do it.

Yongchuan was waiting for Luo Li to run out of true qi and fail to find the weak spot. Then he would come over to scold him, telling him that there were always stronger people out there and not to rely on his family’s influence to think he was the best.

Luo Li, however, was secretly smirking. If they wanted to see his failure, he would give them a show!

He controlled the slaughter table, which made a whirring sound, and suddenly released it. The Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir broke free from the control, and due to the force, it exposed its weak spot!

Old Sha, who was watching Luo Li, couldn’t help but exclaim, "Good!"

To achieve such control required a lot of practice, at least a hundred times, to be successful. He didn’t expect Luo Li to succeed on his first try. This kid had potential!

Then Luo Li picked up the triangular bone-breaking knife and stabbed it. Old Sha couldn’t help but shout, "No, be careful, your force is too weak!"

Indeed, the force was too weak. Luo Li did this on purpose. The knife only penetrated three inches. Old Sha had already warned Luo Li that if he didn’t stab it through, the pig would struggle fiercely and might even break free from the slaughter table’s control.

Luo Li wanted this to happen. On purpose, the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir let out a mournful cry and broke free from the slaughter table’s control, charging to one side!

This caused chaos. Everyone who was watching rushed over to block and capture the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir. It howled and charged, but it avoided Luo Li because he had a death aura. It charged towards Yongchuan, which Luo Li had deliberately controlled. The Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir raised its fangs and pounced at Yongchuan.

As the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir approached Yongchuan, its fangs were white and terrifying, and Yongchuan was in danger!

But Yongchuan just smiled, raised his hand, and a mountain-shaped magical tool appeared in his hand. It instantly grew to three feet in size and fell, crushing the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir to death on the spot!

This was the power of the magical tool, Mountain Collapse, at the Fourth Level of the Qi Condensation Stage, which instantly turned the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir into a meat patty.

Yongchuan was about to scold Luo Li, but Luo Li said, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault!"

Luo Li apologized profusely. Yongchuan wanted to say something but couldn’t. If Luo Li hadn’t caused trouble, it would have been abnormal. He was just a new recruit, and it was already a challenge to have him slaughter the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir.

In fact, Yongchuan hadn’t expected Luo Li to be able to stimulate the Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir to expose its weak spot and stab it. He just wanted to see Luo Li fail to find the weak spot and then teach him a lesson not to be arrogant. He didn’t expect Luo Li to make things worse.

Yongchuan shook his head and said, "Go do something else."

But Luo Li said, "No, no, give me another chance, please, Senior Brother, give me another chance!"

Saying this, Luo Li quickly rushed to the second Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir, poked its anus with the bamboo tube, and carried it to the slaughter table. Then Luo Li carefully controlled it, fully focused, and meticulously controlled it.

This time, Luo Li controlled it for half an hour, and then suddenly exerted force!

The weak spot appeared again, and Luo Li stabbed it with one smooth motion, penetrating it completely!

The Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir didn’t struggle like the one Old Sha had killed. It just kicked its legs a few times and then died.

Luo Li wiped the sweat off his face, making a show of being exhausted, and said with an innocent look, "Done, killed it! Finally killed it!"

After saying "killed it," everyone looked at him in silence, completely stunned.

They were all shocked by Luo Li’s potential. In just two tries, he had made a breakthrough and killed the hardest-to-kill Lipid Iron-Armored Tapir!

Everyone was dumbfounded by Luo Li’s potential. This was exactly what Luo Li had wanted. If he had killed it easily the first time, people would have thought he was naturally gifted and might have learned it before, which wouldn’t have been impressive.

But by failing the first time and succeeding the second, the difference proved Luo Li’s deep potential and strong growth!

Indeed, everyone was amazed. Genius, genius! They were all stunned by Luo Li!
