Chapter 43: The Assassin’s Saber

[Three of Nine]…

Under the black moon, Ning Xuan opened his eyes again. He sat in silence, and then suddenly, without any warning, he threw his head back and laughed. He laughed wildly. His whole body was still in excruciating pain, but he still wanted to laugh.

Laugh loudly.

He had not succeeded in committing suicide immediately just now.

Even though he had saved a burst of strength, the white bear demon had been guarding against his suicide. Every time he exerted his strength, the white bear demon would always shake in time to disperse his strength. So… he had tried many, many times, until his legs were eaten, before he succeeded in committing suicide.

However, it was not without gain.

He had an extremely deep understanding of the details and precursors of the white bear demon’s exertion of strength.

At this time, he sat withered, his hands hanging down, his head drooping, as if he was about to fall asleep, but his eyes were as cold as ice, and a crazy and faint light flickered inside. He didn’t know what he was thinking.

He sat there until the night passed.

The place was so big, a wide open space, with nowhere to run and nowhere to maneuver. Go? It was better to sit.

Suddenly, he felt a ray of pale sunlight quietly fall, and it fell on his thigh along the side of his face.

He looked at the thigh, and in his vision, his own white bones appeared.

He looked at his waist, and his waist had also completely become white bones.

At this time, he looked into the distance again…

In the distance was a kind and benevolent snow-white bear demon.

“Where’s my weapon? Where did my weapon go?”

The snow-white bear demon murmured, and then looked at the sitting young man and asked, “Have you seen my weapon?”

Ning Xuan stood up, raised the Beast-Slaying Saber, and suddenly asked with a smile, “Is this your weapon?”

The snow-white bear demon shook its head.

Ning Xuan took out the flying knife again and asked, “Then what about this?”

The snow-white bear demon shook its head again.

Ning Xuan smiled and said, “I can’t see clearly from a distance. I’ll let you have a look when you get closer.”

After speaking, his five fingers moved, and a blue and faint light flashed. The flying knife swept towards the snow-white bear demon.

The snow-white bear demon’s small eyes slowly narrowed. Just as the flying knife was about to touch its brow, the flying knife stopped.

Ning Xuan asked, “Is it?”

The snow-white bear demon shook its head, but still maintained its vigilance.

Ning Xuan said, “That’s right, this is my weapon.”

After speaking, he raised his hand and withdrew the flying knife, and then said cheerfully, “I’ll help you find it.”

The snow-white bear demon grinned and said, “You’re a pretty good person…”

The man and the demon began to search for the mysterious weapon.

After searching for half a day, Ning Xuan suddenly said, “Master Bear, can you do me a favor?”

The snow-white bear demon said with a chuckle, “You are a good person. You have helped me for so long, I can also help you.”

Ning Xuan raised his hand and summoned the flying knife again. It landed in his palm, and he handed it out, “Master Bear, I think this flying knife is too big. I see that you have great strength and are extremely brave. Can you help me break this flying knife?”

The snow-white bear demon was stunned for a moment, and then said with a chuckle, “Alright, alright.”

It grabbed it and kneaded it with force, but the flying knife was unharmed.

It exerted its strength again, and its claws grew scales. It clenched the flying knife, and with a muffled grunt, the flying knife was immediately shattered, and it turned from the size of a palm to more than ten pieces of flying knife fragments the size of a fingernail.

The snow-white bear demon scratched its head and said, “I broke it too much.”

Ning Xuan took the flying knife fragments and said with a smile, “It’s okay, let’s continue to find your weapon.”

The snow-white bear demon said, “You are really a good person.”

The scorching sun slowly set in the west…

The night gradually fell.

The snow-white bear demon’s Adam’s apple suddenly rolled. It opened its mouth and was about to speak, but the young man next to it suddenly stopped.

Ning Xuan suddenly asked, “Are you hungry?”

The snow-white bear demon nodded, and then asked back, “Are you hungry?”

Ning Xuan did not answer, but stretched out his left hand and said, “I’m hungry, so eat.”

The snow-white bear demon was stunned.

Ning Xuan said with a calm smile, “I see that master is a cultivator of Buddhism, and I am just a layman. If I can offer my flesh and blood to master, it can be considered as accumulating good deeds.”

The snow-white bear demon: …

Ning Xuan said, “Of course, I still have some selfish intentions.”

The snow-white bear demon said, “What selfish intentions?”

Ning Xuan smiled slightly, “Master must have profound Buddhist teachings. If I can integrate my own flesh and blood into master’s body, I can also recite scriptures with master in the future, bathe in incense fire, and maybe even reach the land of ultimate bliss as soon as possible. It’s really a great bargain.”

The snow-white bear demon was completely stunned.

It was greatly shocked.

Ning Xuan anxiously handed out his hand and said, “Master, eat quickly, while it’s hot.”

The snow-white bear demon took the arm and put it down again, “I’m still used to eating from the feet.”

Ning Xuan lay down directly, took off his boots, and said, “It’s okay.”

The snow-white bear demon grabbed his foot, wiped it, revealed its retracted fangs, and then took a bite.

Ning Xuan seemed to be completely numb. He had a smile on his face, and he also began to laugh.

“Hahaha…”

“Hahahahaha…”

“Hurry up, eat faster, hahahaha!”

Not only was he laughing happily, but he was also urging while laughing, which made the snow-white bear demon’s scalp tingle.

The snow-white bear demon had eaten countless people, but today was definitely the most unexpected time it had eaten a person.

“Hahahahaha!”

Ning Xuan laughed loudly.

The snow-white bear demon ignored him and ate with its head down, eating quickly.

This person was pretty good.

It had to fulfill this person’s wish.

It began to gobble up in Ning Xuan’s already hysterical laughter, its mouth smacking, its saliva flying, and the tough meat and human skin were torn from the gaps between its fangs.

Ning Xuan suddenly forgot the pain in his body. While laughing wildly, he raised his arm slightly, and his right hand came to his mouth. The more than ten fingernail-sized flying knife fragments he was holding were cleanly sent into his mouth.

The flying knife was just a special metal that carried power, and it did not have any function itself. Even if it was shattered, it could still carry power.

‘Swallow’s Union.’

The flying knife fragments thrown into Ning Xuan’s mouth were imbued with the power of “Swallow’s Union.”

A long and thin hum, like a returning swallow in spring, chirped happily on the black-tiled eaves.

The flying knife fragments suddenly accelerated, and they burst through Ning Xuan’s completely relaxed body, cutting off his internal organs, and then passed through the flesh and blood of his legs, and burst out from his already white-boned feet!

Swoosh!!

The flying knife fragments swept along Ning Xuan’s body towards the snow-white bear demon’s throat.

He had actually gone mad and used his own body as a channel to launch the flying knife!

For this one slash, he had done many things.

He had shown his power in front of the bear demon, letting the bear demon feel the threat of this flying knife.

He had also let the bear demon break this flying knife. The bear demon felt the threat, so it naturally broke it very much, but it was not broken enough, because after all, it was helping him.

He laughed loudly, using his voice to cover up the sound of the flying knife’s launch, so as not to cause alarm with a sudden slash in the silence.

He also urged the bear demon to eat quickly, so that its mouth would open wider and its swallowing movements would be more rapid.

He had been eaten by a bear demon before, so he was extremely familiar with the precursors of the bear demon’s exertion of strength, so he could naturally choose a good time to attack.

All of this was just for this one slash.

Facing a powerful opponent that he could not deal with.

Assassination became the only choice.

Assassination and a frontal confrontation were different.

A frontal confrontation would consider power, while an assassination would consider timing more.

In ancient times, assassins would do anything to create an opportunity for assassination. It was a common thing to destroy one’s family, disfigure oneself, and offer up one’s head. It was also a common thing to take months or even years. But… an assassin who used his own body, feeding the other party on one hand, and hiding the most fierce and ruthless slash with his body on the other, was still unique.

This one slash…

Ning Xuan had already stabbed it out.

He had tried his best.

The moment it was stabbed out, this slash was no longer under his control.

After this slash passed through his body, it swept into the bear demon’s throat without any accident, and then entered its internal organs with a swallow that had just been completed.

The snow-white bear demon’s body shook, and it suddenly stopped its gnawing action. It held its abdomen with both hands and stood there blankly, and then it began to cough violently.

Its flesh and blood were strong, but its internal organs did not have such strong muscles, and it was impossible to compress the muscles through strength to turn them into scales.

So, its esophagus and internal organs could not block this slash.

Its esophagus and internal organs had firmly withstood this one Swallow’s Union!

Ning Xuan laughed loudly, and as he laughed, he began to cough violently, and some of his shattered internal organs were coughed out.

The snow-white bear demon was also hunched over, and large mouthfuls of blood were also coughed out.

What came out with it was black smoke.

The black smoke left the snow-white bear demon and rolled towards Ning Xuan, pouring into his eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth.
