At the beginning, my sloppy master gave me three marriage certificates.

The long sword glowed with a cold white light under the illumination of the few stars that occasionally appeared in the sky.

Jiang Han's guess was correct. These people were obviously not going to waste time talking to him and were ready to kill him with their weapons drawn.

Whoosh whoosh!

The four of them have a great understanding of each other.

He swung his sword and slashed towards Jiang Han.

Looking at the looming white blade beams, they were like poisonous snakes hiding in the night and coming towards him.

Jiang Han made a casual move.

The sword at his waist drew a U-shaped black shadow in the sky and fell into his hand.

Jiang Han slashed out with his sword.

Only four clicking sounds were heard.

The long swords in the hands of the four people who were rushing towards Jiang Han were instantly cut off by Jiang Han.

The four of them stopped in their tracks in shock.

They never expected that this time they would encounter a powerful enemy.

Before the four could react, Jiang Han swung out another knife.

Puff puff puff!

The heads of the four people were thrown out instantly.

They all had expressions of shock on their faces until they died.

The four men often committed murder and robbery in this area.

However, he didn't expect that Jiang Han would kill him with just two moves.

At this time, a translucent panel appeared in front of Jiang Han's forehead.

On that panel, a big plus sign and the number 120 appeared, and the balance became 340.

Jiang Han now basically understood that his balance would increase after he killed someone, but what exactly was this increase? He still had no idea.

After killing four people, Jiang Han did not stop and prepared to rush towards the location where the Soul-Breaking Sword was stored.

He was well aware that speed was of the essence in war.

To snatch such a national treasure, he had to catch the enemy off guard and could not delay. Once the enemy discovered his whereabouts and intentions, they would most likely take precautions in advance and even directly transfer the "Soul-Breaking Sword" sword manual. In that case, he would face the risk of mission failure.

This is not the result he wants.

Just as Jiang Han took two or three steps forward.

A woman's voice came from behind.

"Please stay, my friend."

Jiang Han turned around and saw a young woman in a blue dress and two young men walking towards him.

He looked at the three people in confusion, not understanding what they wanted from him.

"Is there a problem?"

Jiang Han asked.

"Friend, are you interested in joining our team?"

The woman in the blue dress extended an invitation to him.

"Join your team, why?"

Jiang Han was very confused and didn't understand why the other party would say such a thing.

He came here to seize the "Soul-Breaking Sword" sword manual, not to team up with others.

"You are an outsider, so it is understandable that you don't know the rules here."

The woman in the blue skirt looked at Jiang Han with sudden realization.

"Rules? What rules?"

"This Xuyou City is full of endless dangers, don't you know?"

The woman in the blue skirt stared at Jiang Han and asked.

"I don't know. As you said, I just entered this Xuyou City."

Jiang Han shook his head.

"Okay, let me explain it to you."

"Everything is peaceful in Xuyou City during the day, but at night, time passes quickly at a speed of 20 years per night. Generally, old people can't survive one night, middle-aged people can survive one night, young people can't survive the second night, and children can survive two nights."

"So in this Xuyou City, if you want to survive, you must have enough life value to support it. Therefore, everyone in this city will regard each other as the continuation of his life."

"Life continuation, what is a life continuation?"

Jiang Han interrupted the woman in blue skirt and asked.

"Let's put it this way. Killing others will prolong their lives, increasing your own health points, thus offsetting the rapid loss of life at night."

"You mean, these people who are killing each other are trying to gain each other's health points, so that their own lives can be extended to offset the loss of 20 years of vitality every night."

"Yes, that's what I mean. It's because of this that people are killing each other in Xuyou City. You should have seen it all along the way."

When Jiang Han heard what the other party said, he suddenly remembered that he had killed the sturdy middle-aged man.

A plus sign and an increase value of 20 inexplicably appeared on his forehead.

Is that what they call an increase in health points?

Soon another doubt arose in his mind.

Because he found that the health points increased by different people depending on who he killed. He remembered that after killing the old man, his health points only increased by 10, but after killing the child, his health points increased by 40.

"I have a question. Does killing people of different ages increase the health points differently?"

"Yes, killing a child adds 40 years of life; killing a young person, regardless of gender, adds 30 years of life; killing a middle-aged person adds 20 years of life; killing an old person adds 10 years of life."

The woman in the blue dress explained.

"I see!"

Only then did Jiang Han understand why every time he killed someone, a panel would appear on his forehead with a plus sign and an increased value displayed on it, with the accumulated balance at the back?

He could now understand why the people here wanted to kill anyone they saw. It turned out that it was to gain health points!

He felt that this Xuyu City was extremely strange.

He had never heard of such a place before.

"Do you know why the speed of time in Xuyu City is different during the day and at night? And the difference is so huge."

"We don't know for sure, but we heard from some local aborigines that in the earliest times, there was a Buddha named Xuyu who had an instant enlightenment in this city. He was originally the son of an ordinary family in this city. He had nothing to do all day and liked to travel around. He was good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He was a complete playboy. He lived a muddle-headed life in the first half of his life!"

"Until he was 30 years old, he suddenly met an old monk. The old monk enlightened him, and the Buddha suddenly became enlightened. He was covered with a thousand-foot-long radiance, and finally disappeared into the air, going to the Western Paradise."

"Ever since Suyu Buddha attained enlightenment here, this space has become what it is now. Some say that it takes a normal person several decades or even a lifetime to attain enlightenment, but it only took Suyu Buddha a moment to attain enlightenment. In a moment, he accomplished what other people would have to practice for decades or even a lifetime to achieve."

"This caused him to completely absorb all the time energy in this space, which led to a huge difference in the speed of time flow between day and night in this space."

"You mean, when Suyu Buddha had his enlightenment, it was at night?"

Jiang Han suddenly had an idea and asked.

"That's right, so the speed of time will suddenly speed up this evening."

Jiang Han did not comment on this explanation.

He guessed that this space must have been distorted, which caused the different speeds of time flowing during the day and at night.

"I have another question. I would like to ask this girl."

"Young man, please speak."

"On my way just now, I encountered a strange bird with black wings. It seemed to be able to suck the life out of people. Those who were sucked by it became old and eventually died. Can you tell me what kind of bird this is?"
