Iron Body Shirt Reaches Greater Mastery, Ghost Entities Smashed to Death!

Eight Trigrams Martial Arts Academy.

Swords flashed.

Qin Ming was radiating heat, panting heavily, and with each breath, long white streams of steam shot from his nostrils.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Ming had already fought the two ghosts for dozens of rounds.

Iron Body Shirt truly lived up to its reputation as Ninth-Rank Martial Art. It was indeed extraordinary. After breaking through to the Minor Mastery completion stage, it greatly enhanced Qin Ming's Qi and Blood. His skin became more resilient, and his Qi and Blood were as strong as an ox. The blade of the Butcher's Knife even faintly shimmered with a blood- Qi and Blood aura. Combined with the Sha Qi and Fire Poison, every strike it made left a deep gash on the Corpse King.

However, what Qin Ming feared most was Huo Lan.

The female ghost possessed Huo Lan and brought him back to life, causing Huo Lan's strength to become extremely terrifying. The Tiger Fist he originally practiced now became eerie and sinister, with each punch being powerful and heavy, making Qin Ming's arms go numb.

"What exactly happened in Qingshan Town? Why are the ghost woman and the Dry Corpse here?"

He had a vague feeling that the Ghost Fog in Qingshan Town was not so simple, and that there was something even more terrifying hidden deep within.

This battle also made Qin Ming realize his weakness: he lacked a powerful sword technique. Fortunately, he had mastered the "Wandering Dragon Steps " Greater Mastery, and he was only slightly at a disadvantage when facing the combined attack of the two Ghost Entity.

Thud--

Qin Ming was defeated by the two Ghost Entity working together. He had claw marks left by the Corpse King on his shoulder, abdomen, and arm. He took out Glutinous Rice from his pocket and pressed it on the wounds. Then, he surging his Qi and Blood, forcibly forcing the Corpse Poison to one place, and then used a knife to cut out the flesh.

Upon closer inspection, Qin Ming's body was almost entirely unscathed, and Huo Lan's ghost claws had left dozens of scratches on Qin Ming. This made Qin Ming even more aware of his lack of strength, and his sense of urgency grew stronger.

Not enough, not enough, his strength is still insufficient!

He needs to become stronger!!

Boom!!

With another blow, Qin Ming's massive body crashed through the courtyard gate, slamming heavily onto the street with a deafening roar, shattering even the blue bricks.

Just then, several figures passed by and, hearing the commotion, paused slightly.

Yan Yue-Ren was among them.

"It's Qin Ming! Perfect opportunity, let's kill him together!"

Yan Yue-Ren laughed loudly, and was just about to make a move when he suddenly noticed the Corpse King and the female ghost chasing after him, which scared him so much that his legs went numb.

"Quick, those two tough guys are here!"

The group was so frightened that they covered their heads and ran away, disappearing without a trace.

Having fought their way out of the horde of zombies, they dared not linger.

After running a distance, the group slowed down, still shaken.

"That kid is covered in wounds and is being held back by two powerful Ghost Entity. He's definitely dead. We need to get out of here quickly; this place is beyond our capabilities."

The group took a deep breath and rushed out of town without stopping.

With Qin Ming sharing the firepower, they escaped Qingshan Town without serious injury.

"They're out! They're out!"

Someone has spotted Yan Yue-Ren and his group.

They were all wounded, and the Buddhist artifact in Yan Yue-Ren's hand was reduced to only half.

The others weren't much better off; some had their entire right arm withered away, and others were infected with Corpse Poison, their faces turning purplish-black.

"Qin Ming..."

Seeing that Qin Ming wasn't among them, Xiong San's heart sank.

Soon, when they learned what had happened in Qingshan Town, everyone was shocked.

The resurrection of the dead is no ordinary method; it's far more terrifying than Wraith, not to mention the presence of a Red-Clad Female Ghost and a Corpse King.

Based on what the group said, they quickly assessed the Corpse King's strength.

There's a high probability he was at the Bone Refining Realm during his lifetime.

"The resurrection of a corpse is not something a Bone Refining Realm Dry Corpse can accomplish; there must be an even more terrifying monster behind it!"

Yang Zhi analyzed the situation calmly.

"Then let's retreat!"

Yu Qing Qingdao.

Qin Ming hasn't returned yet!

Xiong San said in a low voice.

"Don't mention that good-for-nothing!"

Yan Yue-Ren jumped out and started smearing Qin Ming, "It was all because of him that those Ghost Entity were attracted. We were all fine at first, but Qin Ming insisted on his own way, which is why those Ghost Entity were brought here. That kid killed them!"

The others chimed in agreement.

They had all been bribed by Yu Qing and naturally sided with Yan Yue-Ren.

"Did you hear that, Xiong San?"

A cold smile flashed across Yu Qing's eyes, "What did I say before? That kid's no good, but you insisted on protecting him. Let's see how you explain that now!"

Xiong San's face was cold as he mumbled, "We can't just believe their one-sided story. I suggest we send someone to rescue Qin Ming so we can find out the truth."

"Xiong San, are you out of your mind? It's so dangerous in there, do you want my men to go in and die?"

Without any restraint, Yu Qing immediately launched into a tirade, "Xiong San, from this moment on you are dismissed from your post. Go back and pack your bags and get out of the County Yamen!"

"Let's go!"

Yu Qing led everyone away, and in the blink of an eye, only Xiong San remained.

Xiong San's face was cold as he stared intently at the departing figures of Yu Qing and the others.

He turned to look at the Ghost Fog, and with a swift movement, rushed inside.

Qin Ming was his senior brother's prized student, and he had brought the man with him, so he couldn't just leave him there no matter what.

"Sir, Xiong San has gone inside!"

Yang Zhi immediately reported to Yu Qing.

"Let him go, it's better if he's dead!"

Yu Qing sneered; it would save him the trouble of doing anything if the man died.

"Boom!"

A figure crashed heavily into the ruins.

It's the Corpse King!

Qin Ming lowered his head slightly, and the panel in front of him slowly appeared.

[Ninth-Rank Martial Arts (Incomplete): Iron Body Shirt (30/1000) Greater Mastery]

Just now, Qin Ming killed two Wraith, gained two hundred Free Attribute Points, and forcibly pushed Iron Body Shirt to the Greater Mastery Perfection realm, greatly increasing his strength. Only then did he manage to send the Corpse King flying with a single strike.

Upon closer inspection, his skin began to vibrate rhythmically, like a stone hitting a calm surface of water, creating ripples. A thick callus quickly formed on his skin, as if he were wearing an iron shirt.

"Ha!"

Huo Lan used the same trick again, letting out a Ghost Howl, the piercing sound waves forcibly penetrating Qin Ming's ears.

While Qin Ming was distracted, Huo Lan's ghostly claws continued to attack Qin Ming's body, and the pale white armor suddenly pierced into Qin Ming's chest, trying to rip out Qin Ming's heart.

Since Qin Ming Greater Mastery the Iron Body Shirt technique, his skin had become as tight as iron. Although the ghost claw pierced through, it did not damage any vital organs.

As his internal Qi and Blood surged, Qin Ming quickly regained consciousness, but the sharp pain in his chest drove Qin Ming into a frenzy.

He immediately reached out to grab Huo Lan, but she was getting faster and faster, almost turning into a blur. Although Qin Ming was strong, he couldn't even touch the hem of Huo Lan's clothes for a while. Instead, he ended up with more bloody holes all over his body.

Qin Ming's eyes grew increasingly crazed. When Huo Lan attacked again, he actually went to meet her head-on, letting Huo Lan's claws pierce through his flesh. Then he activated his Iron Body Shirt, tightened his skin, and clamped Huo Lan's ten fingers tightly.

"Finally... I caught you..."

Qin Ming suddenly looked up, a slow smile playing on his lips, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. He gripped Huo Lan's arm tightly with both hands, his blood-covered face looking extremely ferocious.

"You..."

Huo Lan was startled by Qin Ming's expression and instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but failed.

A strong, stench of decaying corpses swept in from behind— the Corpse King was coming!

Qin Ming's arms bulged with veins, and he simultaneously pushed his Savage Bull Strength and Iron Body Shirt to their limits.

"Ah!!"

Qin Ming let out a loud roar, forcibly pulling Huo Lan's ten fingers out of his body, then suddenly swung them up and slammed them hard onto the lunging Corpse King.

Boom!

The Corpse King was struck hard and sent flying again.

Qin Ming used Huo Lan as a human-shaped hammer, smashing him down on the Corpse King again and again, creating a series of loud booming sounds.

Huo Lan fought back fiercely, her ghostly aura surging, attempting to erode Qin Ming's body, but she was blocked by Qin Ming's boiling Qi and Blood. Under the constant heavy blows, Huo Lan let out a shrill ghostly scream, her ghostly aura dissipating continuously, and her breath growing weaker and weaker.

The Corpse King was slammed into the ground, and Huo Lan was completely deformed from the impact.

"It seems you can't get your revenge."

Qin Ming's face was cold. He raised Huo Lan high with both arms and slammed her heavily to the ground with a "thud," then stepped on Huo Lan's head.

"Pfft!"

Huo Lan's head exploded on the spot, only to find it completely empty, with a wisp of Yin Qi slowly dissipating.

"Roar!"

The Corpse King burst out of the pit, pounced on Qin Ming, and forcibly pinned him to the ground, knocking the Butcher's Knife from his hand.

Qin Ming activated his Fire Sand Palm, turning his two palms crimson red, and frantically slapped at the Corpse King's forehead.

The Corpse King's entire body was as hard as iron, especially its bones. Under Qin Ming's relentless attacks, the flesh on the Corpse King's face was completely shattered, leaving only an empty skull.

After dozens of blows, a crack appeared in the middle of the Corpse King's skull.

"No..."

He actually begged for mercy.

"Too late."

Qin Ming grinned, gathering all his Qi and Blood in his right fist, a tiger's roar faintly echoing around him, "Xingyi Fist - Tiger Fist!"

Bang!

The Corpse King's skull was shattered by Qin Ming's punch, and its struggling body instantly returned to calm.

At the same time, a strong surge of Yin Qi entered Qin Ming's body.

[Free Attribute Points: 300]

The Corpse King provided Qin Ming with three hundred Free Attribute Points.

"Wait, where's the female ghost?"

Huo Lan's body lay there motionless. She was clearly dead, but she didn't receive any Free Attribute Points.

Qin Ming had a bad feeling. There was only one possibility in this situation: the female ghost was not dead!

He just killed Huo Lan's vengeful spirit!

"What's this?"

After Huo Lan died, a bead appeared next to her body without her knowledge.

The beads are about the size of a longan, resembling jade but not quite. The material is somewhat cloudy and carries a Yin Qi of extremely difficult-to-detect yin energy.

As soon as Qin Ming touched it with his fingertips, a chilling, icy Yin Qi surged from the bead, seeping into Qin Ming's body and startling him so much that he quickly retreated.

This Yin Qi came quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

Just as Qin Ming was wondering what was going on, he suddenly noticed that his Free Attribute Points had increased from three hundred to five hundred!

"Two hundred more! It's this bead!"

Qin Ming picked up the bead, but the yin Yin Qi did not reappear.

With a gust of wind, the bead turned to ashes in Qin Ming's hand.

"What exactly is this thing?"

Qin Ming frowned slightly, stopped thinking about it, picked up the Butcher's Knife, and cleaned up all the Dry Corpses around him.

Those Wraith had vanished without a trace, and the Ghost Fog had receded as well.

Qin Ming knew in his heart that the Red-Clad Female Ghost was not so easy to kill; what he had just killed were at most the vengeful spirits of Huo Lan.

As Qin Ming slew dozens of Dry Corpse, the surroundings finally quieted down, and his Free Attribute Points reached one thousand.

"Wrong!"

Looking at the empty streets, Qin Ming felt a sense of unease.

There were tons of mummified Dry Corpses before, how could there only be this many?

Where did the rest of the Dry Corpse go?

There are Ghost Entity too!

Qin Ming felt a sudden chill run through his body, which even his Greater Mastery of the Iron Body Shirt technique couldn't withstand. He immediately set off for the outskirts of the town.

As soon as he turned around, a figure appeared twenty feet ahead, standing there without him noticing.

The man had long hair and a handsome face, and was staring at Qin Ming with a sly smile.

"Junior Brother, it's been a long time."
