Starting as The Young Master of A Pharmacy, He Trained Swordsmanship in Seclusion For Twenty Years - Chapter 133

A deathly, sinister cold energy surged from the fingernails into Zhang Qi’s body.

Just as Zhang Qi had closed his eyes, resigned to his fate, a large hand landed on his shoulder.

Following it, a wave of scorching, high-temperature power swiftly annihilated the cold energy inside Zhang Qi.

Then, the eerie arm pierced into Zhang Qi’s abdomen began to emit a sizzling white smoke.

As if scorched by a blazing fire, that bizarre arm, under Zhang Qi’s terrified gaze, vanished into nothingness in an instant.

A shrill cry, utterly inhuman, rang out; it came from the terrifying green-faced apparition.

The burly man standing behind Zhang Qi was none other than Lu Xuan, who had rushed over from nearby.

Lu Xuan had originally been patrolling the area at night.

Sensing the overwhelming Yin energy here, he immediately used his Flowing Light Step technique, swiftly darting towards the location.

At this moment, Lu Xuan’s eyes were fixed intently on this supernatural apparition.

“It can actually make sound. The Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend has indeed mutated!”

After hearing the scream, a strange expression appeared on Lu Xuan’s face.

This Yin energy was far stronger than that of the phantom at the Fengyue Pavilion, equivalent to the strength of someone with one foot already in the Qi Condensation realm.

Furthermore, this Yin energy from the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend could actually solidify outside its body.

Am I saved?

Zhang Qi opened his eyes. He felt that the terrifying cold energy inside his body had completely disappeared.

Now, he only felt his body filled with a scorching power, warming every inch of his flesh and blood.

Of course, the five bloody holes in his abdomen, pierced through by the nails of that eerie arm, were still bleeding fresh red blood.

Whoosh!

In the room, the terrifying green face instantly opened its bloodthirsty maw, and a thin, concentrated stream of green Yin energy shot rapidly towards Lu Xuan’s face.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan remained completely unmoved. A protective shield of crimson, magma-like Gang Yuan materialized in front of him.

The moment the stream of green gas touched the crimson Gang Yuan shield,

the green gas instantly ignited into crimson flames and was completely burned away in a short time.

As soon as the intensely hot Gang Yuan from Lu Xuan’s body emerged,

the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend immediately shot deep into the room, smashed through the wall, and fled towards the distant horizon.

“Trying to escape?”

Before the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend could get far,

a massive, blazing crimson hand formed in the void and grabbed hold of the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend.

The forceful, scorching giant hand radiated terrifying high temperatures.

Trapped within the giant hand, the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend let out agonized, piercing screams.

Wisps of visible white smoke rose from its body.

“Hmph!”

Lu Xuan snorted coldly. The crimson giant hand in the void suddenly contracted, squeezing the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend into a mass of Yin energy.

Then, a fiercely burning fireball appeared in the sky, emitting a dazzling red light that illuminated everything around brightly.

The Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend lasted only a few seconds before being burned into nothingness by the high-temperature flames.

After sensing the disappearance of the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend’s Yin energy, Lu Xuan immediately called up his system panel without hesitation!

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: External Gang Grandmaster (Minor Achievement)

Cultivation Methods: Crimson Flame Blade Art 9/9, Flowing Light Step 1/9 (Can Deduce), Diamond Indestructibility 3/9 (Can Deduce).

Points: 2500

Please confirm, Host, whether to consume 400 points to deduce Flowing Light Step!

Please confirm, Host, whether to consume 90 points to deduce Diamond Indestructibility!

Eliminating the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend earned a total of 650 system points.

That’s a full 150 points more than the phantom at the Fengyue Pavilion last time.

Excellent!

Seeing the sharp increase in points, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth.

However, even with the system points reaching 2500, it still wasn’t enough to meet the conditions for deducing the next level.

Thinking this, Lu Xuan’s eyelid twitched involuntarily.

This rate of consuming system points truly made Lu Xuan’s heart race with alarm.

Nearby, Zhang Qi, having witnessed Lu Xuan’s mythical methods,

and Lu Xuan’s young, handsome face, which left a deep impression on him,

stood frozen in place, his thoughts stagnant, as if time had lost all meaning starting from this moment.

This earth-shattering scene left Zhang Qi with nothing but endless confusion, bewilderment, and doubt about life itself.

Is this something a human can actually do?

Before long, the sound of chaotic footsteps approached the area.

It was the servants and guards of the Zhang residence. They had seen the colossal hand appear over the courtyard, followed by a giant fireball.

Terrified, they all thought a deity had descended and promptly knelt down to worship.

It was only after the large fireball in the sky gradually disappeared that they remembered their master’s safety!

A group of servants and guards rushed into the courtyard.

They saw Zhang Qi standing there, looking distraught, with five clear bloody holes in his abdomen.

Blood from his abdomen flowed down his legs straight onto the ground.

“Master, are you alright!”

“How dare you! Who are you? How dare you assault our Master!”

“Our Master is the County Magistrate of Lanshan County, an official appointed by the court! You have some nerve!”

Zhang Qi, who had been in a state of shock, snapped back to reality upon hearing this, his expression changing dramatically.

Ignoring the severe pain in his body, Zhang Qi, his face ashen, strode over and delivered a heavy slap to the man who had spoken.

“Idiots! All of you, get out now! If any of you dare speak nonsense again,”

“I will definitely not let you off easily!”

The servants and guards had never seen Zhang Qi so enraged; they were all scared witless, their legs turning to jelly.

“Yes, Master!”

Then, responding meekly, they dragged the man who had been slapped unconscious away with them, scurrying off in a disorderly crowd.

No sooner had the servants and guards left than Zhang Qi immediately put on a fawning, ingratiating smile and approached Lu Xuan.

“Se—Senior….”

Lu Xuan had initially intended to leave directly, but the words of that man just moments ago made him pause.

“You are the County Magistrate of Lanshan County?”

Lu Xuan’s sudden question caught Zhang Qi off guard.

Why is the senior concerned about my identity?

But Zhang Qi didn’t dare delay too long and hurriedly replied, “Yes, Senior.”

“Who leaked the news about the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend in Lanshan County?”

“This Emissary remembers that the Black Tortoise Guard personnel back then must have warned you all that the common people must never know about the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend.”

This line of questioning from Lu Xuan filled Zhang Qi with immense fear.

“You….”

“You are an Emissary of the Black Tortoise Guard!”

Seeing that Lu Xuan didn’t answer his question, Zhang Qi already confirmed the answer in his heart.

Thump!

Upon realizing this young man was the Black Tortoise Guard Emissary from the prefectural city,

Zhang Qi decisively dropped to his knees, pressing his forehead tightly against the ground, cold sweat pouring incessantly from his brow.

“Emissary, please have mercy!”

“This truly wasn’t this lowly official’s fault! It was all Su Quanchuan’s deliberate negligence that led to this outcome.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Zhang Qi recounted all of Su Quanchuan’s actions to Lu Xuan.

Better the priest perish than the parishioner!
That damned old fool, don’t think you can make me share the blame for your crimes!
