Ashen Requiem - Chapter 18: The Gamble Lady

Shen Yi’s mortal body only has a lifespan of less than a hundred years. Fortunately, he can gain his remaining lifespan by killing demons.

In the troubled times where evil spirits are everywhere, the long sword is revealed, causing the liver and gallbladder of these creatures who have lived for thousands of years to burst!

This time I came to heaven just to borrow a million years from the immortals to prove my path to immortality.
