AHH!” I will make you wish you were dead! ” ”Lan Mingchen let out a shrill howl as he cut off his right arm, which had invaded the aura of death.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Qing's hand seals changed. The ghost head on the ground suddenly opened its blood-red eyes and turned into a ray of black light as it charged towards Lan Mingchen.

Lan Mingchen never thought that there would be someone who could even control a ghost head. This was just too shocking.

”Puchi.”

The sharp sword pierced through a ghost head. Before Lan Mingchen could catch his breath, another ghost head bit the back of Lan Mingchen's neck. It tore off a large chunk of flesh and started devouring it with kacha kacha.

Lan Mingchen howled miserably as his entire body trembled in pain. With a slash of his sword, he crushed the ghost's head. The flesh on his neck had turned black, and an aura of death directly spread out from his neck and corroded his body.

”You will die a horrible death … He would die a horrible death … ”Ahhh …”

Lan Mingchen rolled over on the ground, his fair skin quickly turning a grayish black. Black blood oozed out of his mouth as he gradually lost consciousness.

Suddenly, Lan Mingchen's closed eyes opened, and his eyeballs turned blood-red. They were spinning so fast that they almost jumped out of his eye sockets. The whites of his eyes had also turned incomparably dark. This was the sign of infecting the corpse poison and turning into a corpse ghost.

Lan Mingchen's death didn't matter, but how could Zhou Qing allow such a powerful corpse ghost to appear in front of him? He immediately took a step forward and pressed his palm against Lan Mingchen's head, trying to absorb the death aura and prevent Lan Mingchen's corpse from continuing to mutate.

The Million Wraith Book circulated rapidly, and in the next moment, the Aura of Condensation that had been assimilated by Lan Mingchen's Death Qi also started to flow endlessly into Zhou Qing's body.

Only by cultivating the ”Ten Thousand Spirit Curse” would one be able to reach the intermediate stage of the Spirit Opening Realm. Only by cultivating the ”Ten Thousand Spirit Curse” would one be able to reach the advanced stage of the Spirit Opening Realm and the three hundred and sixty spirit point whirlpools break through the peak of the Spirit Opening Realm.

As the boundless spirit energy and death energy poured into Lan Mingchen's body, Zhou Qing felt his meridians expanding. The pain in his meridians became more and more excruciating, and even more so, the pain became more and more intense as droplets of blood seeped out from his pores.

Zhou Qing clenched his teeth, perspiring profusely. However, the 'Incantation of Myriad Spirits' was far too domineering and unstoppable. He could only rely on his strong willpower to persevere and guide this force to continuously break through his meridians.

Every time a meridian point was broken open, the force seemed to find an outlet.

Finally, his heavy body suddenly lightened up. His cultivation had broken through to the late stage of the Spirit Opening Realm in one go, and the whirlpool of his spirit acupoints had reached one hundred and thirty-one whirlpools.

Zhou Qing fell to the ground, his heart filled with amazement. The 'Ten Thousand Spirit Codex' was far more tyrannical than he had imagined. Whether it was the aura of death or contaminated spiritual energy, both could be absorbed and converted into the purest spiritual energy.

The injuries from before did not recover at all, instead, they became even more severe. Zhou Qing was extremely surprised, but he did not have enough time to inspect it closely, and could only carefully circulate his spirit energy, barely sealing the bleeding wound as he stood up.

”The commotion is too big, and it will attract the other cultivators. We must leave immediately.”

With a thought from Zhou Qing, he retrieved Song Fugui's corpse into the stone space. Grabbing the scared Song Zixuan, he quickly ran into the forest.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, two figures dressed in white appeared in front of Song Fugui's thatched cottage.

If Zhou Qing was here, he would have definitely recognized that these two were on the Demon Hunt Squad Rankings, the third young master of the Lan family, Lan Ningdao, and the eldest senior sister of the second generation disciple of the Celestial Sect of Red Dust, Chu Tianyu.

”Lan Mingyu is at the early stage of Soul Formation, Lan Mingchen is at the middle stage. According to the battle analysis, the other party should be a Corpse Refiner at the early stage of Soul Formation, but even if they use Corpse Spirits, they shouldn't be able to kill him. At least one of them can escape …” I suspect that the Spirit Realm Corpse King has appeared here. ”

Chu Tianyu carefully examined the two corpses and discovered that Lan Mingchen had died in a strange way. He had been poisoned by the corpse poison, and the spiritual energy in his body had been corroded by the aura of death, but he felt as if something had sucked out his dantian.

When she saw the sword marks on Lan Mingchen's corpse, she was slightly stunned. The Zhou Family's Thunderclap Sword Technique was a powerful sword technique that could injure the internal organs. Zhou Qing had once used it to perfection! Although these sword stances were somewhat similar, the difference in power was simply too great.

Chu Tianyu's heart ached at the thought of Zhou Qing. She did not believe that Zhou Qing would treat Junior Bai so highly, or that Junior Bai would be willing to be his Dao-companion.

However, the three disciples of the Mysterious Sky Sect had died under the final move of the Thunderclap Sword Technique, the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique. She had even recklessly barged into the morgue and personally examined the corpses.

Why did you do that?

She really wanted to ask Zhou Qing face to face, but when she arrived at the Zhou Mansion, she found out that Zhou Qing had died.
