Chapter 291 - 291 Using Bizarre Against Bizarre (2)
291 Using Bizarre Against Bizarre (2)
Although the captain had given him a way, Xu Qing had his own method.
As long as one cultivated anomalous substances, they wouldn’t be able to escape the sharp senses of the shadow. After all, it ate anomalous substances.
Although there were many cultivators with dense anomalous substances in Purple Earth City, if the aura of the Forbidden Sea was included, the range would be reduced greatly.
Things that were difficult to do for others weren’t difficult for Xu Qing.
The only thing he needed to do was to find the real murderer among the few candidates who met the requirements.
This point was also simple.
Xu Qing didn’t believe that with his teacher’s alchemy attainments, he wouldn’t have left some marks. Even with Xu Qing’s current attainments in herbs, he could still leave some undetectable medicinal herbs marks on the other party’s body before he died.
Hence, when Xu Qing was watching from the alley, he had paid attention to the teacher’s corpse in the crystal coffin. He also sensed it through the soil in front of the grave.
He confirmed that the poison in his teacher’s body was called the Daybreak Scattered Decay Pill.
This pill had a certain level of nourishing effect on the body and needed to be consumed all year round. To mortals, the effects were still alright. The only drawback was that after death, it would speed up the rotting of the corpse. Generally speaking, it could completely turn the corpse into liquid in 24 hours.
Grandmaster Bai had refined it in his free time. It could be considered one of the unique pill formulas.
Outsider’s understanding of this pill would at most reach this extent.
Only his disciples would know that the main ingredient of the Daybreak Scattered Decay Pill was the Soul Melting Fog.
“Soul fusion fog, also known as closed heavenly eyes. It’s a high-level spirit herb born of fog. It can fuse a mark with the soul and is difficult to detect and remove. It’s the main ingredient of the Daybreak Scattered Decay Pill.”
Xu Qing mumbled. This was the clue Grandmaster Bai had left for others.
The soul of the murderer would definitely be tainted by this almost undetectable soul fusion fog. As for the method to detect it, Xu Qing naturally knew of it.
Hence, he moved very fast. In the darkness, he arrived at one of the three clues marked by the shadow. This was an inn. After Xu Qing got close, he spread out his perception and left a moment later.
“Not this one.”
He didn’t stop. Taking advantage of the darkness, he went to the second place. This was the residence of a commoner in the Purple Earth’s imperial city. There were no fluctuations of cultivation base, not even anomalous substances.
However, he couldn’t escape the shadow’s search.
The moment he got close, Xu Qing stopped in his tracks. At the next instant, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. His body suddenly swayed and he directly entered the house.
The house was simple and crude. An old man was lying there. The instant Xu Qing entered, he opened his eyes and looked at Xu Qing in surprise. Just as he was about to speak, the black iron stick buzzed and instantly neared him.
The old man’s body suddenly swayed. There were clearly no cultivation fluctuations emitted but it was as though he had entered the Mystic Brilliance Form. He actually dodged the black iron stick and appeared in front of Xu Qing.
“You actually found me? Your disguise is too fake. Let me see who you are.” The old man’s voice was low. As he spoke, he lifted his right hand and grabbed at Xu Qing’s face.
It was as though he wanted to erase the cover of his spell.
However, at the next instant, the old man’s expression suddenly changed. An intense sense of danger caused him to retreat abruptly.
However, it was still too late. Xu Qing’s body emitted an astonishing force. It was as though a continent was burning in his body. He ruthlessly kneed the old man.
The old man’s body shook violently and his chest, which was slammed into by Xu Qing’s knee, instantly caved in. His flesh and bones were badly torn and shattered. Just as he was about to struggle, Xu Qing had already stepped over and released the fiendish fire. However, the other party didn’t have a soul. Xu Qing’s expression was as calm as ever. With a wave of his hand, Golden Crow Refines All Life spread out behind him and sucked fiercely at the old man.
This time, the old man’s entire body trembled and he instantly transformed into qi and blood. After Golden Crow Refines All Life sucked him, only a piece of skin was left on the ground.
Xu Qing wasn’t surprised. The shadow under his feet quickly spread over. After enveloping the skin, it transmitted a message to Xu Qing.
“Lead the way!”
The shadow quickly guided him. Xu Qing put away the arrangements that hid the energy fluctuations in the surroundings and rushed toward the place pointed by the shadow.
He knew that the Bizarre Fiend Race was strange and difficult to kill but it didn’t matter. If he killed them a few more times, the other party would eventually be unable to escape. The only thing that made Xu Qing ponder was that the other party had died too quickly under Golden Crow Refines All Life, so he was only able to absorb an insignificant amount of the other party’s origin.
“The origin of the Bizarre Fiend Race is strange. Moreover, he died too quickly and I couldn’t absorb much. However, it’s fine… After making him afraid and anxious, I should be able to absorb more.”
At that moment, in the Zhou family of the eight great families, a handyman who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes as he hurriedly took a few breaths and quickly looked around.
“Who is that guy? Not only did he find me, but his cultivation is also astonishing enough to directly suppress my vessel that has been condensed for a long time. Its combat strength was comparable to three fires!”
“It’s a pity that due to the limitations of my talent, I can only parasitize a mortal. Every one of them needs to be slowly nurtured before I can gradually display my strength. Otherwise, it would be much simpler for me to escape. Damn it, this mission was originally very simple. Although the teleportation was sealed, it couldn’t be sealed for too long. But now, why is there such a strange cultivator!”
The handyman’s gaze flickered. As he pondered, a hint of malice appeared as he looked around.
“However, it’s fine. This person I revived as is a servant of the Zhou family. His residence is in the territory of the Zhou family’s imperial palace. Unless that person gets the Zhou family to help him, he will definitely die if he dares to sneak in!”
Just like that, under this person’s attention and vigilance, the night passed. The next morning, as the sunlight streamed in, a scar-faced burly man with Qi Condensation cultivation pushed open the door of the house where these handymen were.
When the surrounding handymen saw this scar-faced man, their expressions changed. They hurriedly stood up, not daring to stop at all. This scar-faced man could be considered a trusted aide among the Zhou family’s handymen. He would casually beat and scold them, and many of them were beaten to death by him.
The handyman’s lives were cheap. No one cared if they died.
Amidst their nervousness, the scar-faced man spat out some saliva and walked toward them. He passed by the handymen one after another until he reached the handyman who was parasitized by the Bizarre Fiend Race.
After sizing him up, the scar-faced burly dude suddenly took out a saber and stabbed into the handyman’s heart. He quickly pulled it out and ruthlessly slit the handyman’s neck!
Everything happened too quickly, so much so that the handyman only had the time to widen his eyes in disbelief and confusion.
He didn’t understand what was going on. The scar-faced burly dude laughed sinisterly. As all the handymen in the surroundings retreated in horror, the burly dude cut open his own stomach and took out his intestines. He wrapped them around the neck of the handyman and leaned over to speak softly.
“My master greets you. He asked me to tell you that the game… has just begun.”
