Chapter 1 Tiger-Slaying Hero
Chapter 1 Tiger-Slaying Hero
Yang Song is a well-known tiger-fighting hero in Anping County.
Half a month ago, he shot and killed a tiger that had devoured several people in Laobiegou. As a result, he caught the eye of the county magistrate and became a constable in the county magistrate's office.
But the world is corrupt and cannot tolerate a good person like him.
This afternoon, Liu Changsheng, the young master of the Cangying Martial Arts School, harassed a woman in broad daylight. Yang Song intervened and stopped him, incurring Yang Song's wrath.
That night, the Wang family father and daughter, under the pretext of expressing their gratitude for saving their lives, brought them wine and food laced with deadly poison.
After consuming the food and wine, Yang Song soon succumbed to the poison and died.
The tiger-fighting hero, revered by countless people in Anning County, has become a corpse about to be buried.
Arsenic may be poisonous, but it is not as poisonous as the wickedness of the human heart.
You thought you were doomed, but you never expected to possess an immune system to all poisons. Even if you swallowed a basin of arsenic, it wouldn't harm a single hair on your head.

As the system's voice rang in his ears, a surge of heat swept over Yang Song's entire body, tempering his flesh and bones while countless impurities were expelled from his pores.
Yang Song suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with shock.
As a combat coach, he was teaching his students how to use the guillotine when he ended up severing himself in a martial arts world overrun by monsters.
"Father, Constable Yang was a good man. He saved me, but we killed him."
"Girl, what can I do?"
If I don't do as Liu Changsheng says, he'll kill me and sell me into a brothel.
Since Officer Yang is a good person, let's go all the way and save my daughter and me one more time!
Upon hearing this, Yang Song, who was lying on the ground, looked over and saw the Wang family father and daughter digging a hole in the yard with shovels.
"We'll leave Anping first thing tomorrow morning."
The money Liu Changsheng gave us is enough to open a small general store in town, and we won't have to work so hard singing for money anymore.
Thinking about the good days to come, Wang Youxi's voice became cheerful.
After shoveling the last shovelful of soil, he walked towards Yang Song.
When he saw Yang Song staring straight at him, he was terrified and instinctively swung his shovel at him.
Yang Song immediately rolled on the spot and jumped up from the ground.
You have a million ways to dodge, but you chose the most embarrassing one.
However, this doesn't diminish your charm; you rolled away with style, with extraordinary flair, and with an air of calm and composure!

Another surge of heat spread through Yang Song's body, his bones crackled and popped, his muscles became firmer and more resilient, and power surged continuously from within him.
"Officer Yang, you...you're not dead?"
Wang Youxi panicked, dropped the shovel in his hand, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
Without saying a word, Yang Song leaped forward, crouching low as he delivered a powerful left punch to Wang Youxi's upper right abdomen.
The punch went straight to his liver, and Wang Youxi immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but he was in so much pain that he couldn't utter a single word. Yang Song was too lazy to listen to any nonsense, so he stepped forward and kicked him straight away.
This kick, imbued with all of Yang Song's strength, instantly shattered Wang Youxi's facial bones. He flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the newly dug pit and instantly losing all life.
This house is nothing special, but ever since you moved in, it has become a gathering place for spiritual energy, bathed in rosy light, and surrounded by ethereal beauty.
Wang Youxi was buried in this place with excellent feng shui, and his descendants will surely be very wealthy and famous.
He was intent on harming you, yet you treated him with such kindness; such compassion is truly rare in this world.

Listening to the system's heartfelt words, Yang Song turned his gaze to Wang Rong.
The girl was so frightened that she stared at him blankly, looking like a complete idiot.
"Yang... Constable Yang."
Wang Rong knelt down on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down her face.
"Your father and I didn't want to harm you; it was Liu Changsheng..."
Yang Song raised his hand, interrupting Wang Rong's incessant chatter.
"You had countless opportunities to repent before I ate the snacks, yet you still watched me get poisoned. Don't you find it ridiculous to say this now?"
"I……"
Yang Song sneered: "You actually think you can leave Anping County first thing tomorrow morning? You're being far too naive."
If we wait a little longer, the night patrol officers will probably come and say that we are afraid of being retaliated against by Liu Changsheng, so we took it upon ourselves to poison the wine and try to kill me.
"At that time, your father will be locked up in jail, and you will be treated like a dog by Liu Changsheng."
Wang Rong's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
Her expression revealed a foolish naiveté; she never imagined that people could be so treacherous.
Yang Song looked at her with pity and said, "I rescued you from the fire pit, but you jumped back in willingly and even poisoned me to death. You're both stupid and wicked."
"Officer Yang, I...I was wrong."
Wang Rong wept bitterly and buried her head in the ground.
Yang Song silently observed the man and said calmly, "Raise your head."
Wang Rong slowly raised her head, tears streaming down her face.
Her face was delicate and rosy, and her eyes were timid and pitiful, making her very endearing.
"Die!"
Yang Song stepped forward and kicked Wang Rong hard in the face, sending her flying several meters away.
Her beautiful face was instantly mangled beyond recognition, her body convulsed a few times, and then she fell silent.
This world is a cannibalistic hell. The fate of a weak woman who loses her father's protection is unimaginable.
Although Wang Rong is vicious, you ultimately can't bear to see her fall into such a miserable state.
Now that she and her father are reunited in the afterlife, this cruel world can no longer harm her in the slightest!
[Reward: Ten days of cultivation points]
Feeling the pure energy tempering his flesh and bones, Yang Song narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is this his cheat code?
A system that constantly utters flattering words and rewards power?
[Misunderstanding! Huge misunderstanding!]
How could words spoken from the bottom of one's heart be flattery?
You must face your own talents squarely and never underestimate yourself or consider yourself an ordinary person!
[Reward: Six days of cultivation points]
"...I will try my best. Humility has become part of my being, an instinct."
Yang Song muttered to himself and turned his gaze to the two corpses.
Just as he was thinking about how to dispose of the body, he heard footsteps outside the door.
Yang Song's eyes flickered slightly. Just as he had thought, the night patrol constables had come to his door.
He listened intently, and heard two people talking on the street.
"Yang Song is incredibly stupid. He has no relation to the Wang family father and daughter, so why is he getting involved?"
"The tiger-fighting hero is all about passion and courage. I heard that when he patrols the streets during the day, he helps people everywhere and is deeply loved by the people."
"Fool! These days, doing good deeds only brings trouble. He deserves his fate. Let's see if he dares to be a good person in his next life!"
"Speaking of which, isn't our county magistrate just like that too?"
He's been in Anping County for half a year, repairing roads, repairing river embankments, running a martial arts academy—he's done all sorts of good deeds. I think he's not far from death…”
"Are you crazy? How dare we discuss the county magistrate?"
"We just need to do what Young Master Liu asked us to do, what nonsense are you spouting?!"
