Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily-Chapter 126 - 124: Killing Field, Lower Hand
"Shut up!"
Gao Qiu had barely uttered half a heart-wrenching scream when the blade lightly slashed his throat, rendering him speechless.
It was only then that he could clearly see the person in front of him was indeed Song Changming, who had attacked from across the alley.
Song Changming mercilessly stomped the dying military leader to the ground.
In his final moments, Gao Qiu heard Song Changming’s rather sincere words of apology.
"It was wrong of me to have your brother’s limbs broken by my subordinates. Don’t worry, I’ll soon bring him to meet you."
Having said that, Song Changming swiftly decapitated Gao Qiu.
Looking back, the Fog Beast, having lost its controller, was initially confused, then attempted to flee.
Of course, Song Changming wouldn’t let it go just like that.
Such a high level Fog Beast running rampant in the city would surely cause a huge commotion.
Immediately, he retrieved the Mist Gold from Gao Qiu.
"Hmm? There are actually two pieces!" Song Changming opened the iron box on Gao Qiu and found two pieces of Mist Gold of different sizes.
When Song Changming picked up the larger piece of Mist Gold, he felt a heat in his palm and strands of scorching mist wrapped around his hand.
At the same time, the Fog Beast, which was about to escape, stopped and obediently returned to Song Changming’s side.
With the Mist Gold in hand, he gained control over the Fog Beast.
It’s undeniable that this small piece of Mist Gold seemed to contain endless energy, extremely mysterious and miraculous.
Merely the ability to create and control the Fog Beast made it more powerful than many divine weapons.
After all, the battle prowess of the high level Fog Beast before Song Changming was enough to rival Seventh Realm Martial Artists, and its destructive power even surpassed them!
Imagine having such a high level Fog Beast as a bodyguard, even if the controller were an ordinary person, who would dare provoke them?
As for the cost of creating a Fog Beast, Song Changming had previously researched it in detail.
It requires Essence Blood.
Either Exotic Beast Essence Blood or human Essence Blood.
The best human Essence Blood comes from Martial Artists.
To activate the Mist Gold, it must first absorb a significant amount of Essence Blood, only then can the subsequent transformation into a Fog Beast proceed.
This means integrating the scorching mist released by the Mist Gold into ordinary animals and beasts.
Soon, a number of Fog Beasts will be transformed, brought into this world for people to control.
As long as the spirit within the Mist Gold doesn’t fade or get damaged, the Fog Beast can be manipulated indefinitely.
And the Fog Beast’s specialties are destruction and devouring.
They destroy everything destructible and devour the Essence Blood of living beings to continually grow stronger.
However, the strength and growth of a Fog Beast have a limit, constrained by its nature.
Some animals and beasts can evolve into high level Fog Beasts, while others may only reach middle or low levels at most.
In the yard, Liang Zhao Long followed Song Changming’s instructions, staying on alert.
"Changming, how is Changming?" Father Song asked worriedly, wanting to step out of the room, but was pushed back by the clever White, preventing Father Song and Mother Song from leaving.
It could smell the thick scent of blood on the street and believed the danger outside hadn’t passed yet.
"Uncle and Aunt, don’t worry. Let me take a look."
It wasn’t until the sounds outside the yard disappeared that Liang Zhao Long waited a while longer, hesitated as no enemies seemed to attack, then climbed over the wall to check.
Standing on the courtyard wall, he saw the alley outside the Three Alleys filled with the bodies of men in black.
The air still lingered with dark red blood mist, eerily like a mass grave in the night.
"Are they all dead?"
At first, Liang Zhao Long couldn’t spot Song Changming, but upon looking further, he saw him at the end of the alley.
Along with the gigantic black horse Fog Beast!
"Fog Beast?!" Liang Zhao Long recognized the massive creature in the darkness as a Fog Beast, and was greatly shocked!
The appearance of a Fog Beast in the city was no trivial matter.
Originally he was worried about Song Changming’s safety, but he quickly noticed that the Fog Beast showed no intention of attacking Song Changming nearby.
On the contrary, Song Changming kept approaching it, observing the Fog Beast from various angles, seemingly without concern.
"Chief!" Liang Zhao Long arrived at the alleyway entrance.
Although he and Song Changming were no longer on duty at the Patrol Armor Bureau, his habitual way of addressing Song Changming hadn’t changed.
"Where did this Fog Beast come from?"
Song Changming kicked the general’s corpse at his feet and said, "Look, it’s him who summoned it."
"It’s him!" Liang Zhao Long certainly hadn’t forgotten Gao Qiu. He recognized this military general at a glance and immediately understood that tonight the other party had come to seek revenge on them.
"I should have just sliced that beast to pieces back then!" Liang Zhao Long said resentfully.
"It’s not too late now. Since they’ve gone this far, we should eliminate them completely and send their brothers down to reunite." Song Changming nodded and said.
"Alright! I’ll keep an eye on it and take action in a few days!" Liang Zhao Long said without hesitation.
He was never one to be trifled with; a person without a ruthless heart towards enemies could never last long in the position of a Patrol Guard.
"And about this guy, how should we deal with it..." Liang Zhao Long looked at the lingering black horse Fog Beast, feeling a bit troubled.
With years of experience as a Patrol Guard, he had ways to dispose of the corpses here and ensure that the Patrol Guards wouldn’t find any trace.
But dealing with this Fog Beast was challenging.
"The commotion tonight is already impossible to cover up." Song Changming looked at the collapsed and shattered alley wall and shook his head.
"We can only wait for the General Department to send someone to handle this matter."
Liang Zhao Long looked at the general’s corpse on the ground, feeling uneasy, and said, "But tonight, after killing this guy, with the military’s style, they certainly won’t leave this matter alone."
"No problem, this person acted without brains and sought revenge privately, which is a fact. The most important thing is that he concealed mist gold, such a crime cannot be ignored by the military. They are most likely to distance themselves from him.
As the victim, I will have merit by handing over this mist gold and the Fog Beast, so this matter won’t be blamed on me." Song Changming analyzed, showing little concern about the consequences of killing Gao Qiu.
Unless the military truly can cover the sky with one hand and act arbitrarily, ignoring the law, otherwise there is absolutely no issue with his forced self-defense.
The first to arrive was the night-shift Patrol Guard from the Houli Street Patrol Armor Bureau.
"Song, greetings to Song Weizhang!" Several Patrol Guards still recognized Song Changming and instinctively saluted respectfully.
"There’s no need to call me Weizhang, that’s all in the past." Song Changming shook his head and said.
The Patrol Guards looked at each other, feeling somewhat at a loss.
They had heard that Song Changming seemed to have been dismissed from his position as Patrol Captain in the General Department, but even so, given Song Changming’s relationship with their Director Liang Chuan Mountain, they dared not treat Song Changming as an ordinary civilian.
"Who’s the Patrol Captain on duty at the Patrol Armor Bureau tonight?" Song Changming asked.
Although he no longer held an official position, after many years as a Patrol Captain, he naturally carried a sense of authority over his subordinates, preventing these Patrol Guards from being careless.
"It’s Zhao Dezhi, Captain Zhao." One Patrol Guard replied honestly.
"Call him over, tonight’s matter is no small issue." Song Changming said.
He didn’t show the Fog Beast to these few Patrol Guards, as the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
The Patrol Guards immediately complied, not daring to disobey Song Changming’s orders, even if they knew he was no longer the Patrol Captain of the General Department.
Song Changming then considered for a moment and sent Liang Zhao Long to the nearby Liang Residence to also find Liang Chuan Mountain.
Soon, Zhao Dezhi hurried to the alley entrance.
Upon seeing Song Changming again, even though Zhao Dezhi knew that Song Changming had lost his official position, he dared not show any disrespect toward Song Changming in his attitude.
Who knows, with Song Changming’s capabilities, he might rise to prominence again someday.
At that time, Zhao Dezhi didn’t want to be held accountable by this nominal uncle of his.
Before long, Liang Chuan Mountain also arrived hurriedly.
Song Changming then informed Liang Chuan Mountain of what had happened and asked him to arrange for the disposal of the military officers’ corpses in the alley.
As for the Fog Beast and the mist gold, he also entrusted them to Liang Chuan Mountain for safekeeping.
Only by entrusting this matter to Liang Chuan Mountain did he feel at ease.
For Liang Chuan Mountain, this was also an achievement.
Upon witnessing the black horse Fog Beast himself, Liang Chuan Mountain immediately understood the gravity of the matter and quickly took it away under the cover of night.
The next day, he reported the matter to Zhuang Ren at the General Department.
As Song Changming predicted, the aftermath of this incident unfolded accordingly.
Upon learning that Gao Qiu had concealed mist gold and used it to commit crimes in the city, the military promptly cut ties with him, with no one willing to take responsibility for this minor general.
As for Song Changming, with the military disassociating themselves and not interfering, after explaining everything, he was left in peace, and the Public Security Bureau wouldn’t trouble him further.
