Killing God - Chapter 4
Chapter 4 Butcher
Xilu City was situated at the center of the city, and it was prosperous. There were quite a number of cultivators coming and going from all directions, which could be considered as the center of gravity of the cultivation world within 10,000 kilometers. However, as was the norm in the world, geniuses were always a minority, and mortals were everywhere. In Xilu City, where there were hundreds of thousands of people, ordinary mortals still occupied the majority.
To ordinary people, cultivators, even the most miserable wandering cultivators in the cultivation world, were like immortals with vast divine abilities and were extremely respectful. Almost all cultivators treated mortals with contempt, and mortals treated cultivators with respect.
After all, it was said that they were cultivating, but there were often people who cultivated to become demons and evil spirits. The tragedies of demons and devils massacring mortals in the Corrupt path over the past few years were not uncommon. This was the territory of the Yin Province. Although it was considered a remote place in the vast territory of the ninety provinces of the grandmist main world city, thirty years ago, there was an evil incident in which demons madly slaughtered a small city with thousands of people in the northeast of the Yin Province.
Therefore, in a city, cultivators and mortals usually maintained a situation where the well water did not violate the river water. However, there were always some bold people who would want to do business with those powerful cultivators in order to gain some benefits.
At this moment, when Shen Shi walked along the long street, he saw a few ordinary people who didn’t have a path to walk on the roadside. He casually placed a piece of cloth on the ground and a little bit of goods that he didn’t know where they came from, forming a small stall of his own. Then, he dared to peddle them to the wandering cultivators who passed by. Most of the items sold were medicinal herbs picked up from the mountains, or antique items that he had picked up from nowhere. With Shen Shi’s unique insight, he could naturally tell that most of these people’s items were useless items, or fakes and fakes, so he smiled as well.
Hearing the peddler beside him shouting, “What grade of spirit herbs is this? What kind of strange stone is that?” Or perhaps, God mysteriously carried a broken incense burner and said that this was a magic treasure unearthed from an ancient True Immortal mausoleum in a deep mountain. It was also a strange scene in Xilu City.
After passing through Horseshoe Street, where the cultivators were most concentrated, and taking a few more detours, the clamor quietly disappeared behind him. The surroundings became much quieter. After all, in the world of ordinary mortals, living in peace was the norm.
Shen Shi had grown up in Xilu City since he was young, and he was very familiar with this city, especially the street near Horseshoe Street, where his family was located. He could not go wrong with his eyes closed. At this moment, the warm sun was gradually rising. All sorts of worldly attitudes of the roadside people were quietly playing out in front of him in the streets and alleys.
Shen Shi circled around a few children who were laughing and playing along the road and turned into a small alley. The alley entrance was not big, and there were a few families living sparsely inside. There were few people’s voices, and it looked very quiet. However, Shen Shi seemed to be very familiar with this place. He walked all the way to the deepest part of the alley and smelled a faint smell of blood.
A somewhat dilapidated door was concealed, and one could vaguely see a few small houses surrounding a courtyard. Just as he was about to walk forward, a sharp and hurried scream came from behind the door. However, after a moment, there were only two low “pu pu” sounds. The scream abruptly stopped, as if all the sounds had been forcefully suppressed back.
The stench of blood in the air seemed to have grown stronger.
Shen Shi smiled and pushed open the door. He saw a burly man standing beside the patio with his upper body bare. His muscles bulged like iron, like those terrifying demonic beasts in the wilderness outside the city. At a glance, he felt that there was an endless amount of strength contained within.
At this moment, the burly man was half bent over, stepping on a fat pig whose limbs were tied up. He was holding a sharp butcher’s knife in his hand, and the blade of the knife was bleeding as it left the pig’s throat. The commotion just now was clearly caused by the man who looked like a butcher killing a pig.
Hearing the commotion at the door, Butcher straightened his body. Turning around, he saw that it was Shen Shi standing at the door. He did not have any strange expression. He was not surprised to see this bloody scene in front of him when the twelve-year-old youth saw it. He only slightly nodded his head.
Shen Shi glanced at the dead fat pig on the ground. There was no fear or disgust on his face. Everything was as usual. He just smiled and greeted the butcher, “Uncle, you are killing pigs so early.”
The butcher let out a “hmm” sound. His voice sounded somewhat hoarse, and he said in a low voice, “Why are you here?”
Shen Shi walked to his side and smiled, “My father asked me to buy some meat.”
The butcher’s expression suddenly turned cold. He remained silent for a moment before nodding his head and saying, “Today?”
Shen Shi only felt that his throat suddenly interfered. He did not know whether he was nervous or was stimulated by the strong smell of blood in the surroundings. He whispered, “Yes.”
The butcher glanced at him and said, “Come in.”
Shen Shi walked over and looked at the appearance between him and the butcher. Although he didn’t speak much, they seemed to be somewhat familiar with each other. The butcher wasn’t idle either. He signaled for Shen Shi to come over while grabbing the fat pig on the ground with one hand. With a hehe, he directly picked up the fat pig that weighed several hundred kilograms and threw it to the side.
Behind the patio, “Chi Chi Chi” suddenly sounded, one after another.
The butcher turned around and stood in front of Shen Shi. In terms of physique alone, he was much stronger than the young Shen Shi. He was at least three heads taller than him, and his arms were thicker than Shen Shi’s thigh. Especially now that he was holding a pig slaughtering knife that was bleeding, coupled with his figure, it was truly a murderous aura.
However, Shen Shi was calm as he looked at the bloodstained pig slaying knife in the butcher’s hand. On the contrary, his expression was somewhat close to the fierce-looking butcher.
The butcher sized Shen Shi up and down and suddenly said, “Take off your clothes.”
Shen Shi was stunned and said, “What?”
The butcher’s palm trembled, and the sharp and shiny pig slaying knife rotated between his fingers smoothly. He turned his head and pointed the hilt of the knife at Shen Shi, only to hear his low voice say indifferently, “Kill two?”
Shen Shi raised his head and looked at the butcher. The butcher looked at him expressionlessly. After a moment, Shen Shi suddenly smiled and reached out to receive the blood-stained butcher’s knife. At the same time, he reached out to remove his clothes and said with a smile,
“Alright.”
The spring breeze blew across Xilu City and into the streets and alleys of the city. The sun shone warmly on this quiet place in the mortal world. The alley was as calm as ever. The dilapidated door was still open. However, after a while, a hissing sound suddenly resounded again. Following that, a strange sound was low, with a trace of coldness and determination. It mercilessly cut off the hissing sound.
As the wind blew by, the smell of blood in the alley seemed to have grown a little stronger.

“I’ve also thought about staying alive, guarding the little stone, and just swallowing it like this for the rest of my life.” Inside the smoke, Shen Tai returned to the quiet room where his undead wife’s spiritual seat was. He stood alone in front of the incense table and looked at the three incense sticks that were about to burn. He whispered, “Really, I really thought of this before.”
Shen Tai glanced at the spirit tablet, a trace of sadness and bitterness flashing across his face as he whispered, “Am I useless? Am I not like a man at all?” It was clearly Li Xinghuai who coveted your beauty back then, and his intentions were wicked. You were unable to escape from death by luck, but in the end, a serious injury caused the root cause of the bloodshed, and you died after producing the little stone. “I know all of this from beginning to end, but I just can’t avenge you. I can’t do anything, and I have to work hard for the Xuanyin Sect to make the first floor of this day flourish …” “I know all of this from beginning to end, but I just can’t avenge you. I can’t do anything, and I have to work hard for the Xuanyin Sect to make the first floor of this day flourish …”
The fragrance was thin, and a few pieces of ashes fell down like tears from a woman.
“He is a descendant of an aristocratic family, Talent is good, At such a young age, he had already reached the Yuan Condensation Realm. “There’s also an Immortal-like Yuan Dan Realm Patriarch, Old Monster Li. The entire Yin Province is filled with great figures, but the two of us are only mortals who can’t even pass the lowest Qi Refining Realm. What should we do? What should we do? After you leave, I often can’t sleep all night. Every time I wake up, my mind is filled with thoughts of you.”
‘”I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge, I want revenge …”
“I know. When you left, you advised me not to think about revenge. They are the heavens, we are ants, and we have little stones. As long as you take good care of your son, it’s fine.”
“Little Stone is very obedient and sensible. I didn’t hide anything from him. I told him everything. From childhood until now, I was so strict with him that I always asked him to do things that other children couldn’t do. He never complained. Xiao Bai, will you blame me? “I know I’m actually useless. I really can’t protect him. In order to make him more self-reliant in the future, I have no choice but to be ruthless.”
Unknowingly, a drop of water landed on the incense table. Shen Tai lowered his head to look and gently reached out to wipe away the water marks.
“I wanted to work hard on the first floor of the day to lay a foundation for Little Stone’s family business. I thought there was really hope, and they even agreed to let Little Stone go up the mountain. But … let’s just be ants after all. One sentence from the Li Clan took away Little Stone’s disciple status. I know that they have also been envious of this place for a long time. They probably can’t help but feel that this treasure basin that earns countless spirit crystals every day is only in the back of their palms, right? ”
“We’re both ants, but I’ve thought about it before. Even if we’re ants, they’re forcing me like this. If they don’t give me and Little Stone a chance to live, then I’ll have to bite them back even if I have to risk my life. It’s not a waste to come to this world, is it?”
“Xiao Bai, you know what’s going on under the spring. You have to bless Little Stone and me.”
The short and fat man wiped his eyes and revealed his usual gentle smile. He chuckled at the spirit card.
The smoke dissipated and some red light disappeared. The three fragrances in the censer were finally burned.
Shen Tai took a step forward and took three more incense sticks from a box on the other side of the incense table. He lit them again and inserted them into the incense burner again. After taking a deep look at the spirit tablet, he turned around and walked out without turning his head.
He clenched his fists tightly in the palm of his hand. It was a small white and old hourglass. Fine sand quietly flowed past it, as if it was the years of the past that had gone far away.
(It’s only the second day since there’s an Alliance Leader … very
