Wei Fan, still reeling from his transmigration and the world's brutal realities, finds himself cornered by Yang Jun, the very scoundrel whose assault on Old Man Zhang's granddaughter led to his predecessor's death. Yang Jun, protected by Captain Li and the Fierce Tiger Gang, has escalated his cruelty, murdering Old Man Zhang and re-abducting the girl, all while openly taunting Wei Fan. The ultimate humiliation comes when Yang Jun forces Wei Fan to lick Old Man Zhang's blood from the murder weapon. This face-slapping moment, however, becomes the catalyst for Wei Fan's awakening. His internal system, the "golden finger," flashes to life, revealing Yang Jun as a "red-named mob" worth three years of cultivation power. Fueled by inherited justice and a newfound cheat, Wei Fan snaps. He seizes the blood-stained saber, activating the Blood Evil Saber Technique by burning his own Blood Qi, and ruthlessly skewers Yang Jun. With supernatural speed, he decapitates Yang Jun's two thugs, freeing the terrified girl. The raw power of his sudden, decisive violence leaves his partner Zhou Qi trembling in shock, but also forces him to cover for Wei Fan. Weakened but resolute, Wei Fan checks his system, now boasting four years of accumulated power. He immediately channels all of it into his uninitiated Golden Bell Shield, pushing it to the Sixth Layer, knowing this brutal act has marked him for further, inevitable conflict with the Fierce Tiger Gang.

The consequences of Wei Fan's actions are swift. Captain Li, the corrupt official who released Yang Jun, attempts to eliminate Wei Fan by sending him on a "disappearance case" to Five Miles Village. Wei Fan is accompanied by two constables, Wang Gui and Hu Qingyun, who are clearly complicit in the setup. Upon reaching the desolate, stench-filled village, Wei Fan is directed to investigate a specific courtyard alone, a blatant trap. Inside, he discovers a First Grade Initial Realm Tiger Demon, Master Hu Jiu, surrounded by human remains. The demon smugly reveals Captain Li's scheme: Wei Fan was meant to be its meal. However, the conspirators gravely underestimated Wei Fan's newfound strength. With his Golden Bell Shield now at the Sixth Layer and generating True Qi, Wei Fan no longer needs to burn his Blood Qi. He instantly decapitates the surprised Tiger Demon, reaping five more years of power. Emerging from the courtyard, he confronts Wang Gui and Hu Qingyun, who, shocked he's alive, attack him. Wei Fan, now even more capable, effortlessly slays them, harvesting additional power and confirming their collusion with demons. This spectacular reversal of the ambush allows Wei Fan to consolidate his power further, pushing his Golden Bell Shield to the Ninth Layer and perfecting his Blood Evil Saber Technique and Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Step. The death of Master Hu Jiu, however, signals an even greater threat: the wrath of the Tiger King.

Armed with perfected martial arts and a growing understanding of his power-harvesting cheat, Wei Fan takes the fight directly to the Tiger King. He leverages Hu Liu, another of the Tiger King's sons, whom he captures and intimidates into serving as his mount, riding him straight to the Tiger King's opulent mansion. There, he finds two Acupoint Realm martial artists, Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong, struggling against the formidable Tiger King, a Fourth Grade True Realm Demon. With audacious confidence, Wei Fan dismounts, openly taunts the Tiger King about his slain sons, and then, in a chilling display of ruthlessness, casually decapitates Hu Liu directly in front of his father. The Tiger King, enraged, unleashes his full demonic power. Wei Fan, however, meets the challenge head-on. He deploys his perfected Celestial Spirit Burning Blood Saber, a true demon-slaying art, and combines it with his increasingly robust physical defenses, honed by horizontal martial arts training. He systematically dismantles the Tiger King, tearing off limbs with his Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger, shocking Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong with his overwhelming power. The battle culminates in Wei Fan's decisive victory, ending the reign of Yun City's most feared demon. The sheer audacity and raw strength displayed by Wei Fan leave the two Acupoint Masters stunned, not only by his victory but by the mystery of his seemingly limitless martial prowess.

Having eliminated the primary demon threat, Wei Fan turns his attention to Yun City's pervasive human corruption. He immediately targets the newly emerged E Shen Bang, a gang now backed by the Clerk's nephew, Lu Mingjie, and a lurking Crocodile Demon. After expanding his Dantian to hold five times more True Qi, Wei Fan leads a raid on the gang's headquarters. He swiftly dispatches Lu Mingjie, a True Qi Seventh Layer martial artist, and then confronts the Crocodile Demon, a Ninth Grade Initial Realm fiend. With a single, devastating strike from his perfected Celestial Spirit Burning Blood Saber, Wei Fan butchers the demon, exposing the Lu Family's deep-seated collusion. He then forces a terrified Luo Wen to publicly declare the Lu Family's crimes and leads a raid on their Inner City mansion. There, he faces Zuoqiu, a True Qi Ninth Layer demonic martial artist and Lu Mingjie's teacher. Wei Fan's perfected Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger makes quick work of Zuoqiu, leaving no male members of the Lu Family alive. He openly provokes Clerk Wei Qingyuan, the Lu Family's powerful patron, humiliating him and exposing his complicity. This relentless campaign of justice, backed by overwhelming force, cleanses the East District of its entrenched corruption.
