Chapter 147
Li Changbai waved his hand, fixing his gaze on the man with the bushy beard. He tightened his grip on the bearded man's hand and said, "The goal of the chimeras is to resurrect the evil spirit trapped in the black coffin. Once that thing awakens, the entire C Province will be plunged into chaos. I've heard about your abilities; with your cancerous cells transformed into a demonic form, you have no concept of lifespan. You are the only one who isn't afraid of the
"Governor, where is the
Li Changbai released his grip and pulled out a black compass, placing it in the bearded man's hand.
At the center of the compass, a blood-red character for
"This is the Lin family’s Soul-Tracking Compass. With it, you can find the
"By the way," Li Changbai said, extending his bony hand to press on the bearded man's shoulder, his voice low and serious, "You’re not killing the
"With every evil spirit you slay, every demon you defeat, the number of unfortunate souls like us in this world will decrease by a fraction..." Li Changbai gazed at the ceiling, his voice growing softer.
By the time the bearded man came back to his senses, the once-mighty figure had already lost his breath.
He clutched the compass, staring blankly for a long time, before gently closing Li Changbai's eyes and rising to leave the emergency medical point.
It was time to—
Kill the evil spirit.

"Money! I need money! Who can give me money?!"
"Money! Fortune from all directions!!!"
【Sigh, the boss is acting up again.】 Ba Ji watched Chen Huai'an wailing on the sofa and sighed: 【But it’s good that the boss often acts up; it means his symptoms are stable and can’t be taken as a sign of imminent memory recovery. This gives me more breathing room.】
With that thought, Ba Ji fed a drop of blood to Xiao Qing.
【Fish, hurry up and elevate your level. If you can grow a pair of beautiful legs as the boss requested, our lives will be much easier.】
Xiao Qing obediently nodded her fish head.
Under normal circumstances, she would need a long time to cultivate before taking form.
However, since the boss was in such a hurry and Boss Cat was urging her...
She already had a relatively mature plan in mind.
That is—partial transformation!
She would first allow part of her body to take form, even though this would suppress some of her power.
But living under the same roof as the boss and Boss Cat, it seemed there was no need for her to take action.
…
Meanwhile.
Outside the heavy alloy door of the Zero Containment Chamber.
In the dark corridor, the flickering lights cast eerie shadows.
Two demon-slaying masters stood at the door, peering in cautiously.
As a cold wind swept through, both of them shivered in unison.
"This... this is the Zero Containment Chamber? The door is really solid..."
"Of course! I heard it contains C Province's strongest containment object, KSC-0, known as the
"Emmm, I heard the Tyrant's emotions are quite stable. As long as the Tumor Dragon doesn’t come out, it’s pretty much like a normal man. But it seems to have a rather aloof personality. Should we ask?"
Creak—!
The metal flap on the alloy door slid open.
A handsome face and a pair of excited eyes were revealed.
The two demon-slaying masters jumped back in shock. Upon realizing it was the legendary Tyrant, they immediately retreated several steps, pressing against the wall, trembling.
"Hello, Tyrant! Goodbye, Tyrant!"
"We mean no offense! We mean no offense!"
"Stop—!!" Chen Huai'an bared his teeth and shouted. Seeing their bodies freeze, his fierce expression softened, revealing a kind smile. "Do you have money? No matter what you came for, as long as you have money, everything can be discussed! Hehehe!"
The two demon-slaying masters exchanged glances, forcing smiles onto their faces.
"Yes, we do!"
"As long as the Tyrant is willing to help us, the bounty for our mission and the profits from selling materials will all go to you!"

Chapter 157: I Can Just Use My Mouth to Block Yours (Jingshan Yu +1)
"Chasing after the Black Coffin Master? You two have some guts, daring to take on such a tricky task at the Master level?"
Chen Huai'an looked at the information provided by the two demon-slaying masters, his expression one of surprise.
He had encountered the Black Coffin Master before.
If the one he met represented the average strength, then these two Master-level novices were just asking to be served on a platter.
"We just want to level up quickly," the two demon-slaying masters said, their hands resting on their knees, looking very proper, sitting straighter than elementary school students. But that was understandable, considering KSC-01 was on the left and KSC-02 on the right, while the seemingly gentle Tyrant sat across from them.
Anyone in their position would be shrinking back.
"What’s the benefit of leveling up?" Chen Huai'an asked.
"We can obtain the subsequent fragments of the Breathing Technique."
"Exactly. The Breathing Technique is now tied to the ratings of demon-slaying masters. To obtain the later parts, we need to complete missions, accumulate experience, and raise our ratings."
"I see." Chen Huai'an nodded, stroking his chin.
The Demon-Slaying Division was improving.
Originally, the division required demon-slaying masters to undertake at least one task of their corresponding level each month.
According to the bearded man, many demon-slaying masters were reluctant to take on missions.
Now, with the Breathing Technique as a carrot, all the demon-slaying masters were rushing to take on tasks.
Moreover, he had indeed noticed an increase in new demon-slaying masters in the facility recently.
"Actually, there’s another reason we’re asking for your help." One of the demon-slaying masters, seeing Chen Huai'an silent, thought he was unwilling to help, and said honestly, "Besides the two of us, there are also two novice demon-slaying masters from prominent families. We’re willing to take them on missions, and they’ll compensate us with resources, but the difficulty of the tasks will definitely increase."
Chen Huai'an twitched the corner of his mouth.
Goodness.
They even brought in old hands to mentor the newbies?
They didn’t even consider their own level!
Even without those two newbies, it would be a freebie.
Now, bringing in two newbies was even more of a freebie.
He suddenly felt less inclined to help.
After all, fighting was easy; the hard part was ensuring the newbies had a good experience while doing so.
But he still casually asked, "How much can you offer me?"
"100,000! The bounty from the Demon-Slaying Division has increased significantly." The demon-slaying master on the left quickly added, "The prominent family’s disciples can offer another 200,000, and the profits from selling materials will also be yours! We just want the resources from the prominent family’s disciples and the experience from the Demon-Slaying Division!"
Hearing this, Chen Huai'an narrowed his eyes, a kind smile creeping onto his face.
"Deal! Looking forward to a pleasant collaboration!"
The mission was set for midnight, at the Linchuan Cemetery.
As midnight approached, Chen Huai'an opened the live streaming platform and posted an announcement about his late-night demon-slaying stream.
Although there were all sorts of videos about anomalies on the platform, someone like him, representing the Demon-Slaying Division and announcing a demon-slaying mission, was one of a kind. It was like a security guard live-streaming a raid on a brothel—naturally, it was bound to attract attention.
As soon as the announcement was posted, it was spotted by the staff monitoring Chen Huai'an's account.
"Captain Zhao, should we stop him from going live?"
Zhao Ying pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "No need to stop him. Let’s feature his live stream on the official homepage of our C Province Demon-Slaying Division."
The staff member was taken aback. "Huh?"
"Let’s give him a boost in traffic!"
The staff member was speechless.
He felt that such a grand display might not be appropriate.
But since it was Captain Zhao's order, that was how it would be.
Zhao Ying picked up a stun baton, plugged it in, and while shivering, he thought about the meeting he had half an hour ago with representatives from prominent families, a cold smile creeping onto his lips. "Heh, you thought that with Governor Li dead, our C Province Demon-Slaying Division could be easily manipulated by you?"
"Let me show you what KSC-0 is all about!"
"What it means to be a Tyrant!"
…
【What the heck, it’s actually a live stream endorsed by the official Demon-Slaying Division? Impressive!】
