Upon hearing the system notification, Fang Yan was delighted. Sure enough, he still needed to go out for a stroll in the evenings, whether he had something to do or not. He had already earned over a thousand points that night, and his remaining points were over 1100.
You can now participate in the lottery with 1000 points per draw!
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that as long as I work hard, becoming stronger isn't so difficult after all!
"System, draw a prize!" Fang Yan silently muttered to himself.
"Ding! Lottery draw in progress. Congratulations, host, for obtaining Gai Nie's inheritance! Integrate now?"
"Integrate!" Fang Yan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but he still chose to integrate. Was it another inheritance within the same world?
It's a bit of a pity. If possible, Fang Yan would like to inherit Uncle Jiu's skills so that he can become a professional in exorcising demons and monsters, instead of being a half-baked expert like he is now.
However, after merging with Gai Nie's legacy, Fang Yan felt a great difference. At this moment, he was like a peerless swordsman who had been immersed in the way of the sword for decades, and in an instant, he merged with all of Gai Nie's sword techniques.
Most importantly, Fang Yan inherited all of Gai Nie's internal energy. The different internal energies of Dong Jun and Gai Nie miraculously merged within Fang Yan's body, becoming a new internal energy.
This internal force can be used in conjunction with Yin-Yang techniques, and it is very compatible. The Ghost Valley sword technique can be said to directly integrate the two internal forces.
Even Fang Yan's internal strength has increased significantly compared to when he was only inheriting Dong Jun's power. Although it cannot be described as doubling, Fang Yan can clearly feel that his true energy is more than half more than before.
With his swordsmanship added to his skills, Fang Yan said his strength had improved dramatically compared to before.
"Hello, I am Makoto Kyogoku. Thank you for your help this time. Otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome to deal with this monster!" Makoto Kyogoku said as he walked over.
"Fang Yan!" Fang Yan nodded slightly to Kyogoku Makoto: "I sensed the atmosphere of battle here, so I rushed over to check the situation! I hope you don't blame me for stealing your kill!"
Makoto Kyogoku quickly shook his head and said, "How could that be? If it weren't for you, I would have had to expend a lot of effort to defeat this monster! Your intervention has made things much easier for me."
"Well, that's good! But how did you end up fighting it?" Fang Yan then asked.
"It started by attacking humans. I don't know why, but lately, more and more of these monsters have appeared. They weren't here before!" Kyogoku Makoto's eyes were filled with worry. "And these monsters seem to be getting stronger and stronger!"
"Have you fought these ghosts and monsters before?" Fang Yan asked curiously, somewhat surprised.
It seems that during this period, I wasn't the only one encountering ghosts; everyone else was too.
This made Fang Yan feel much more at ease; these ghosts weren't just targeting him!
"Yes, not long ago I felt that my karate progress had accelerated a lot, which puzzled me, since at my level, it's not easy to improve!" Makoto Kyogoku said in a low voice, "Until one day..."
I saw a ghost, and that's when I realized the world seemed different. After that, every night I would run into the streets searching for ghosts, both to protect people and to break through my own limits in battle!
Damn, is this what a cheat-like man is like? No wonder he's at the pinnacle of combat power!
Even without any special techniques, one's strength can still continuously improve simply by relying on karate. This is simply not normal human behavior, okay?
At this moment, Fang Yan really wanted to ask the world, why is there such a big difference between people?
Fang Yan strongly suspected that Kyogoku Makoto might not have cultivated any techniques, and instead, like a Super Saiyan, he might have continued his training until he could destroy the Earth with a single hand.
"Is that so? I only recently discovered these problems myself, which is why I've been going out for a stroll at night!" Fang Yan sighed softly. "However, this ghost is no ordinary ghost!"
"What do you mean?" Kyogoku Makoto was delighted when he heard Fang Yan's words. The two were clearly kindred spirits, both coming out at night to slay demons and monsters, and were righteous people.
"This monster carries a trace of human aura. It's a monster that has made a pact with humans. To be precise, it's a monster that has been deliberately kept in captivity! You could even call it a shikigami!" Fang Yan said calmly. "And didn't you notice that our surroundings haven't changed?"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Makoto Kyogoku looked around warily, and it seemed that it was indeed true.
He was still in that special environment, which meant that there were other monsters of the same kind around him, which was definitely not a good thing for Makoto Kyogoku.
If that monster had attacked him along with its kind earlier, he probably would have been doomed.
Sure enough, this world is becoming increasingly dangerous, but the more dangerous it is, the more interesting it seems to become! Kyogoku Makoto felt his blood surging.
Chapter 69
"However, you should die soon enough!" Fang Yan murmured. Not only Qiu Li, but also the sword energy on his body burst forth. With a sudden acceleration, he slashed towards the neck of the Heavenly Dog.
This time, he didn't give his opponent much time to react. His longsword once again slashed across the Tengu's neck, and then with a sudden burst of force, he severed the Tengu's head.
This scene was witnessed by Makoto Kyogoku, who had been watching Fang Yan's battle closely, and his heart was filled with shock.
He has always been in a state of mind where the higher one climbs, the more lonely it feels. In terms of martial arts skills, Makoto Kyogoku is confident that he is second to none. Similarly, he knows other masters, such as Goemon Ishikawa, who is known as the greatest swordsman in the cherry blossoms. Makoto Kyogoku also knows Goemon Ishikawa.
However, Makoto Kyogoku felt that calling Ishikawa Goemon the number one swordsman in Sakura was somewhat undeserved, as Fang Yan's swordsmanship was definitely superior to Ishikawa Goemon's.
If Ishikawa Goemon had come all this way, he definitely wouldn't have been able to kill a tengu in such a short time!
Moreover, the sword intent emanating from Ishikawa Goemon wasn't this intense! As expected, masters often emerge from humble backgrounds. If it weren't for the recent rampant spread of demons and monsters, the opponent probably wouldn't have shown up. This is the best of times, and the worst of times.
It seems I still need to continue to work hard and cultivate myself!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for defeating a monster and gaining 404 points!"
Fang Yan ignored the system notification and instead turned his attention to the other two celestial dogs. These two celestial dogs had already broken the effect of the talisman. Seeing that Fang Yan had killed another celestial dog, they looked at each other and then pounced on Fang Yan.
Facing two formidable enemies, Fang Yan remained calm and composed. With the Autumn Purple Charm swirling in his hand, he thrust straight at one of the Heavenly Dogs.
The two tengu on the opposite side, however, displayed an unparalleled tacit understanding.
Having learned their lesson, the Tengu seemed to have become more vigilant. Their teamwork was excellent; while Fang Yan attacked one of the Tengu, the other launched a furious attack on him, managing to withstand Fang Yan's fierce offensive for a short period of time.
"It seems I also need to work harder!" When Kyogoku Makoto saw Fang Yan single-handedly defeat one Tengu and then suppress two Tengu in battle, his eyes sharpened.
Instead of focusing on dodging and defense as before, he chose to attack, and even traded blows with Tengu in some aspects. He wanted to defeat his opponent as soon as possible and then help Fang Yan.
But does Fang Yan need him to do this?
Faced with the coordinated attack of the two Tengu, Fang Yan kept spinning and moving around, seizing opportunities from time to time to launch attacks on one of the Tengu.
Despite the fact that these two celestial dogs seemed capable of contending with Fang Yan, Fang Yan was constantly familiarizing himself with their fighting style, and sword marks had appeared on their bodies to varying degrees.
Clearly, Fang Yan still holds a significant advantage over them.
Just when the celestial dogs thought the battle would continue, and they were even prepared to fight a war of attrition with Fang Yan, waiting for their master to arrive so they could finish him off in one fell swoop, Fang Yan suddenly sprang up and leaped toward one of the celestial dogs.
The sword energy on Qiu Li in Fang Yan's hand surged instantly, so much so that even Kato Megumi, who was not far away, could not breathe!
The Hundred-Step Flying Sword, Gai Nie's strongest sword technique, was now being displayed by Fang Yan!
The longsword in Fang Yan's hand seemed to be able to pierce through the void, directly penetrating the neck of a celestial dog, completely piercing through its neck and instantly killing it.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for defeating a monster and gaining 398 points!"
The other tengu was also terrified. It had originally planned to launch an attack on Fang Yan while he was attacking the other tengu, so that Fang Yan would not have the energy to attack with all his might. However, it did not expect that its teammate would be killed instantly.
"Hoo!" While the dog was in a daze, Fang Yan picked up his Qiu Li sword and slowly exhaled. Even for him, using the Hundred Steps Flying Sword required a lot of energy.
Fortunately, the "older brother" he inherited was not a weakened version of the old man, but a fully healed one; otherwise, he might have fainted.
Like that guy who plays the erhu at full health and roams around with low health, the uncle is also a low-health warrior. His condition has never been at its best. First, he was injured, and then he lost his sword.
However, even so, the uncle's combat power is still at the T1 level. Even when he is low on health, he can still beat those self-important experts.
After pausing for a moment, Fang Yan once again held his sword in one hand and looked at the last tengu beside him with a cold gaze.
This caused the tengu to involuntarily take two steps back. Clearly, the previous sword strike had truly frightened it; it was afraid of dying and worried that it too would be killed by such an attack.
That was an unstoppable sword strike!

Chapter 70
Facing the celestial dog, Fang Yan did not slack off in the slightest. He first took a breath to recover his condition. The previous Hundred Steps Flying Sword had taken a toll on him, mainly mentally.
As for true qi, Fang Yan has a lot. Even in this battle, he still maintains 80% of his peak true qi, which is even more than when he only had the true qi from the Dongjun inheritance.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" As Fang Yan adjusted himself to his best condition, he once again launched an attack on the last tengu surrounding him. The sword light flashed, and the tengu tried its best to defend, but its defense was really no match for Fang Yan in his current state.
The sword shadows flashed continuously, and suddenly, like the setting sun in the twilight, it was dazzlingly bright. Before the opponent could react, Fang Yan's Qiu Li slashed through the throat of the Heavenly Dog and cut off its head.
The Rainbow Piercing the Sun is also one of Fang Yan's most exquisite sword moves. Caught off guard, it directly annihilated the Tengu.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for defeating a monster and gaining 386 points!"
With all four of its companions eliminated, the tengu fighting Kyogoku Makoto panicked. It had been waiting for its companions to come to its aid.
The swordsman opposite them looked very powerful, but it believed that its three fellow creatures could defeat him. After all, these three creatures were among the best of the many captive tengu.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been released to grow quickly by absorbing human blood and yang energy.
They never expected that they would encounter such an adversary so soon after being released.
In the blink of an eye, four of the five tengu were eliminated, leaving only this one. At this moment, this last tengu tried to escape.
"Trying to run away?" But how could Kyogoku Makoto possibly give the other party such a chance to escape?
He quickly delivered a horizontal kick, blocking the escape route of the remaining tengu.
At this moment, Fang Yan, holding a sword in one hand, slowly approached. However, every step he took made Tian Gou tremble with fear; this man was truly terrifying.
Fang Yan approached step by step, and Kyogoku Makoto worked hard to cooperate with Fang Yan, launching attack after attack on the Tengu.
Then Fang Yan suddenly accelerated, closing in on Tengu's back and thrusting out a sword. Kyogoku Makoto also threw a punch. Tengu hurriedly tried to dodge, but before he could, Fang Yan's left hand struck out a palm, blocking Tengu's escape route.
The sword successfully pierced the tengu's chest, while Kyogoku Makoto's fist struck its head. Under this powerful attack, the tengu's head was twisted in a grotesque manner.
No wonder he's a man who can shatter a pillar with a single punch.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for defeating a monster and gaining 416 points!"
Upon hearing the system notification, Fang Yan was also taken aback. Even Fang Yan himself was unsure whether he or Kyogoku Makoto had killed the Tengu. He hadn't expected the system to directly award him the points.
Does this mean that as long as you are nearby, you can also get points for monsters and demons killed by others?
Fang Yan felt he needed to study this point carefully.
Meanwhile, thanks to the gifts from these tengu, Fang Yan also gained a large number of points, and his point balance once again exceeded 1000 points.
Another lottery draw costing 1000 points was beckoning to Fang Yan.
··· 0 requests for flowers · 0
"System, draw a prize!" Fang Yan silently chanted in his mind. The previous prize draw, which cost 1000 points each, had greatly helped Fang Yan, and his combat power had been significantly enhanced.
It's not that Dongjun's strength is inferior to Gai Nie's; according to Fang Yan's estimation, Dongjun could definitely remain undefeated in front of the uncle!
However, what he received was the inheritance of two people, a 1+1 effect. Even if it didn't reach 2, it still greatly improved Fang Yan.
