Travel through a martial arts world and gain a little breakthrough every day.

Lin Feng walked back into the woods from the riverbank.

Looking at the warhorses he had killed on the ground, he immediately used the available materials to roast two of them.

Lin Feng had just finished grilling when the Beast Heart state ended.

Perhaps because of the increased life attribute, the buff from Heart of the Beast lasted for an exceptionally long time this time.

Beast Heart increased his life attribute from 70 to 140.

When the Beast Heart state ended, Lin Feng's life attribute dropped directly from 140 to 14, a decrease of tenfold.

Lin Feng also felt his strength flowing away like water, and then hunger struck.

However, Lin Feng was not flustered at all.

Having learned from his previous experience, he knew that this was only temporary, and that as long as he ate his fill, his life attribute would return to seventy.

Lin Feng ate two horses before his life attribute returned to seventy.

The reason he was able to recover perfectly is mainly because he wasn't injured this time.

Many ownerless warhorses were scattered in the forest.

These unclaimed warhorses are quite intelligent; they were left behind by their fallen masters and linger in the same spot, unwilling to leave.

The other warhorses all ran back to the Heavenly Serpent Gang's stronghold on their own.

Lin Feng found thirty-one warhorses, tied them together, and led them with a rope.

Lin Feng then found the corpses of the second, third, fourth, sixth, and seventh leaders.

Although the third and seventh leaders had fallen into the water, Lin Feng still managed to find four thousand taels of silver notes on them.

They all carried waterproof leather pouches containing silver notes.

Bandits are all desperate criminals who risk their lives, keeping all their money close to their bodies.

Lin Feng searched the bodies of the other bandit leaders and found a total of 21,000 taels of silver notes.

These bandit leaders are quite wealthy.

Lin Feng resumed his corpse-looting mode, examining every corpse he could find and discovering a considerable amount of silver and banknotes.

The total amount reached a staggering 42,000 taels.

Everyone in the area knew the bandits were up to something big, so for a while no one dared to come into the area for fear of being killed by the bandits.

Therefore, Lin Feng was always touching corpses.

These bandits are rolling in money.

Fortunately, there were enough horses. Lin Feng used several bags just to carry the silver, and he hung all the bags on the horses' backs.

He also gathered a large number of weapons and hung them all on the horse's back.

He took a liking to the twin swords of the seventh leader of the bandits.

The two swords were exquisitely crafted and clearly not ordinary; their quality surpassed that of a sword made of refined steel.

He planned to sell these weapons to a blacksmith and exchange them for the steel balls he needed.

Now that he's become rich overnight, he doesn't plan to use iron balls anymore, he'll just use steel balls instead.

The harder and heavier the concealed weapon, the smaller its size can be made.

If you use steel balls, each one only needs to be about the size of your little finger, which saves space and allows you to carry more with you.

Lin Feng rode a warhorse and led thirty other warhorses to the outskirts of the county town, where he bumped into Yue'e, who was on her way to find him.

Yue'e breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Feng.

After settling Lin Feng's family in, he planned to go out and help Lin Feng, but he didn't expect Lin Feng to return so quickly.

"Junior brother, are you okay?"

Yue'e looked Lin Feng up and down and found that he was completely unharmed, without even a scratch.

Lin Feng found the bandits' spare clothes in the package on his warhorse. He had already changed his clothes and looked like he had just returned from an outing.

"It's alright, a few bandits can't hurt me."

"Those weren't just a few bandits, they were hundreds or even thousands of bandits."

So many bandits attacked you, yet you weren't hurt at all.

Junior brother, how did you do that?

"Just a bunch of rabble."

In my eyes, they were no different from a few bandits.

I'll tell you about this later.

Lin Feng tore off several wanted posters for bandit leaders at the entrance of the county town, and then entered the town with Yue'e.

The city gate guards looked at Lin Feng with awe and did not stop him.

The spies from the government office have already found out what happened outside the city today, and have even sent people to investigate on-site.

The spies in the government office also had tools such as binoculars, making them very efficient, and they had already relayed the information they had gathered back to the county town.

The city gate guards knew that the man before them was an extraordinary and ruthless individual who had single-handedly killed hundreds or even thousands of bandits.

This was something even the city guards couldn't do, giving the people of Qinghe County a chance to vent their anger.

Lin Feng first brought the four corpses of bandits to the county government office.

After checking the money, the magistrate and his advisor promptly gave the reward to Lin Feng.

The county magistrate also highly praised Lin Feng for his heroic act of killing hundreds of bandits.

Lin Feng's victory is a good thing for the entire county, as it is equivalent to improving their work performance this year.

They would claim credit for the annihilation of thousands of bandits.

Lin Feng definitely didn't know about this.

Lin Feng took the silver and left, as he was in a hurry to go back and see his family and brothers.

Qian Wenshun, the county clerk, personally escorted Lin Feng out of the county government office.

On the way, Qian Wenshun pulled out the "Golden Bell Cover" manual that he had taken from Lin Feng last time.

Qian Wenshun bowed and scraped, saying, "Young Master Lin, this is for you. I took the wrong one last time."

Lin Feng didn't care about the manual; he had already memorized its contents. "You keep it; I don't want it."

Qian Wenshun held the manual in both hands and followed Lin Feng out. "Young Master Lin, you can't refuse it. If you don't, I won't be able to sleep."

When Lin Feng first came to the county government office, he was just a naive young man who wanted to act like a great hero.

This time it's different. Lin Feng is a rising star in the martial arts world with hundreds of lives on his hands.

These hundreds of lives made Lin Feng a legend.

Those who know the situation now call Lin Feng "the Mad Swordsman".

Qian Wenshun didn't want to offend such a person because of a secret manual that cost an unknown amount of money.

Qian Wenshun hunched over and followed Lin Feng, holding the Golden Bell Cover manual, determined to return it.

Lin Feng felt that this guy was annoying because he was always following him around, so he reluctantly accepted the offer.

Lin Feng accepted the manual, and Qian Wenshun left with peace of mind.

The advisor Qian Wenshun was a master of seeking advantage and avoiding harm, and he knew who he couldn't afford to offend.

People like Lin Feng are reincarnations of killing gods; they possess a certain aura of good fortune, so it's not worth offending them.

Lin Feng took the reward money and left the county government office.

Yue'e watched over the thirty-one warhorses for him outside the county government office.

When Yue'e saw Lin Feng come out, she asked, "Junior Brother, what are you going to do with these horses?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment, "Senior sister, you pick two horses first. You and Master each take one horse. I'll keep ten horses for myself and my family, and sell the rest."

Yue'e said with a smile, "Junior brother, you must have made a lot of money this time. You're still short of money from selling the horse."

"Make as much money as you can; having too much money won't hurt you."

Lin Feng took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket and handed them to Yue'e. "Senior sister, please take these. Without your help this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed."

Yue'e glanced at the silver notes in Lin Feng's hand and estimated them to be around 30,000 taels. Her junior brother was really generous.

Yue'e pushed the silver note back, "Junior brother, you should put it away quickly. Master and I don't need this."

Senior sister can see that you have had a remarkable encounter. If you want to repay us, we should quickly improve your martial arts skills and enter the Sword Sect based on your own strength.

When you become an inner disciple, you'll be able to share your master's burdens.

Lin Feng didn't try to be modest with his senior sister; if she said she didn't need anything, then she definitely didn't need anything.

He tucked the silver notes into his pocket and said, “Senior sister, after what happened, we probably can’t stay in Xiahe Village anymore. Why don’t you and Master come and stay in the county town?”

Yue'e shook her head. "We won't go to the county town. My master and I plan to move to Qingshi Village, which is next to Xiaohe Village."

Next time you need to find us, go to Qing Shi Village.

Yue'e was worried about Mr. Hong, so she rushed back and left with the two horses.

Lin Feng took the remaining horses home.

First, we need to go home, then sell the horses, then the weapons, and finally settle our families and those of our brothers. There's still a lot to do today.

Now that I have money, I should at least buy houses for these brothers who have risked their lives for me in the county town.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng quickened his pace.
