A Demon Emerges!

It's her!

Qin Ming's heart sank.

The Red-Clad Female Ghost was his old adversary. The first two times, she had suffered greatly at Qin Ming's hands. Her appearance now was definitely well-prepared!

Fortunately, Qin Ming's strength has greatly improved compared to before. Not only has his internal energy been changed to the "Fire Poison Art", but he has also gained several martial arts techniques at the Perfection Realm.

"Qin Ming, we meet again."

The Red-Clad Female Ghost had an ethereal voice and a faint melancholy on her face. Her large eyes were fixed on Qin Ming, and she couldn't help but bite her lip. "Your Qi and Blood has become stronger than before. I really want to eat you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the female ghost suddenly vanished from the spot. Qin Ming was startled and a chill ran down his spine. When he turned around, he saw that the female ghost was now perched on his back.

Qin Ming was taken aback; the female ghost was incredibly fast. Before he could even shake her off, half of her body had already entered Qin Ming's body.

An indescribable chill made Qin Ming shiver involuntarily.

This is Yin Qi!

"Get out of here!"

Qin Ming roared, pushing the Fire Poison Art to its limit, and all the Fire Poison in his Dantian instantly erupted!

In an instant, a shocked scream came from inside Qin Ming's body.

"What is this? You've broken through?"

Last night, Qin Ming refined all the venom and successfully broke through to the Flesh Refining Realm. He had been hiding his strength, waiting for this moment!

After breaking through to the Flesh Refining Realm, Qin Ming not only gained immense strength, but his skin and flesh also became firmer, and his Qi and Blood became more vigorous.

The Skin Refining Realm refines the skin membrane, Flesh Refining Realm refines the flesh and blood.

At this moment, under Qin Ming's full power, the "Fire Poison Art" circulated Greater Celestial Circuit throughout his body, unleashing countless Fire Poisons in his meridians, which annihilated the Yin Qi. The female ghost was burned and in unbearable pain, so she had no choice but to crawl out of Qin Ming's body.

She quickly stepped back, staring at Qin Ming from a distance, her eyes filled with even greater shock.

What kind of cultivation technique do you practice?

Last time, when she possessed Qin Ming's body, Qin Ming had no choice but to stab Butcher's Knife into her body, forcing her to leave through self-harm. This time, however, Qin Ming's mere circulation of his cultivation technique was unbearable for her, indicating that Qin Ming had cultivated a special technique specifically designed to counter her during this period!

"The martial arts techniques of Wangjing Prefecture!"

The Red-Clad Female Ghost reacted instantly, her eyes blazing with fury. "Everyone in Wangjing Prefecture deserves to die!"

"Laugh!"

The Headless Knight swept his lance horizontally, the terrifying force creating a gale that dispersed the surrounding Ghost Fog.

Qin Ming quickly drew his Butcher's Knife.

The next moment, the Enchanting Attribute the Butcher's Knife was activated, with 50% force reduction and 40% base strength stacked up. Qin Ming only felt a slight numbness in his palm as he blocked the attack.

"It's done!"

A hint of joy flashed in Qin Ming's eyes.

The fact that I could withstand the Ghost Knight's charge attack and charged strike shows that my current strength is in no way weaker than his, and may even be stronger!

"Kill!"

Qin Ming wielded the Butcher's Knife with lightning speed, slashing out dozens of times, each strike at an extremely tricky angle, specifically targeting the Ghost Knight's vital points.

The Cook Ding Dissects the Ox's Skill "Dissecting an Ox" is activated!

With a flick of his wrist, Qin Ming severed one of the Ghost Knight's arms, causing the spear to fall to the ground. Qin Ming then lunged forward, his Butcher's Knife piercing straight into the Headless Knight's neck.

But to Qin Ming's utter surprise, the Headless Knight was still alive despite such a heavy blow!

Not only that, but an unimaginable devouring power erupted from its body, firmly fixing the Butcher's Knife inside. Qin Ming pulled hard, but the Butcher's Knife did not budge!

"Court death!"

Enraged, Qin Ming released the Butcher's Knife and raised his hands, striking the headless Ghost Knight dozens of times in succession.

The Ghost Knight's tattered black armor immediately emitted billowing white smoke when Qin Ming's scorching Fire Poison was activated.

Even so, it did not let go of the Butcher's Knife; instead, it gradually swallowed the Butcher's Knife.

The Butcher's Knife erupted with Sha Qi, relentlessly ravaging the Ghost Knight's body. The Ghost Knight seemed oblivious to the pain, as death energy and Yin Qi within him enveloped Butcher's Knife layer by layer, attempting to corrode it.

Once corrupted by Yin Qi, the Butcher's Knife will be damaged and its power will be greatly reduced.

It wanted to perish together with the Butcher's Knife.

Qin Ming was completely enraged, Xingyi Tiger Fist rained down on the headless Ghost Knight like a storm.

The female ghost tried to attack from behind, but Qin Ming forced her back with a powerful Tiger Fist.

"Roar!"

A phantom tiger shadow faintly appeared behind Qin Ming, gradually solidifying as Qin Ming frantically threw punches. Even Qin Ming himself didn't notice that his Qi and Blood were becoming increasingly concentrated, and faint flames appeared above his head.

This is clearly the initial sign of the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, the Blood Qi Furnace!

Boom--

With the final punch, all the Qi and Blood and the power of the furnace converged into this one punch, like rivers flowing into the sea.

The headless Ghost Knight trembled, and with a gust of wind, his entire body turned to ashes and vanished into thin air.

[Add 500 Free Attribute Points]

Qin Ming took a deep breath and added all 500 points to the "Bedrock Skill".

[Ninth-Rank Martial Arts: Bedrock Skill (300/500) Minor Mastery]

Qin Ming felt his skin and flesh become firmer, and his Qi and Blood increased significantly.

This "Bedrock Skill" tightens the skin and flesh, which coincides with the Flesh Refining Realm.

In the blink of an eye, only a dozen breaths had passed between Qin Ming's outburst and his destruction of the Headless Knight.

Qin Ming was panting heavily; the extreme burst of energy he had just unleashed had taken a heavy toll on him. Watching the retreating Red-Clad Female Ghost, Qin Ming did not rashly pursue her. Instead, he turned and charged towards the Dry Corpses and Wraith.

There are still countless Ghost Entity lurking in the Ghost Fog; he needs to push the "Bedrock Skill" to its Perfect Mastery as soon as possible.

Killing a Wraith earns 100 points, and killing a Dry Corpse earns 10 points.

Qin Ming was like a tiger among sheep, his Free Attribute Points increasing wildly.

"Add points! Max them all out!"

Qin Ming pushed the newly acquired "Bedrock Skill" to its Perfection Realm.

Qin Ming's body was filled with flowing energy and surging Qi and Blood, and crackling sounds emanated from within him.

"Drink!"

Qin Ming slammed his palm down on the head of one of the Dry Corpses. With a surge of immense force, the Dry Corpse trembled and was blasted into a bloody mist with a loud "bang".

"Good!"

Qin Ming laughed loudly.

This "Bedrock Skill" not only made his flesh and blood as firm as a rock, but also greatly increased his strength, making it comparable to the "Savage Bull Strength," Horizontal Training Martial Arts that specifically increases physical strength.

After a sweeping attack, Qin Ming eliminated all the surrounding Dry Corpse and gained a large number of attribute points.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A series of muffled sounds suddenly came from the depths of the Ghost Fog, and the rubble on the ground trembled slightly, as if a colossal creature was approaching.

"Qin... Qin Ming!"

Yang Zhi's face turned deathly pale as he pointed behind Qin Ming. Wang Wei and the others were also terrified, their faces turning ashen and their pupils shrinking sharply.

Qin Ming turned around and saw a huge ghostly figure rapidly approaching.

Soon, a gigantic Demon, seven or eight zhang tall and wielding a long fork, strode over.

The Demon had long, flowing silver hair, a blood-red vertical eye in the center of its forehead, no nose, only a terrifyingly large mouth that stretched down to its ears, making it look extremely ferocious.

His body was covered in terrifying grayish-white muscles, like piles of grayish-white rocks, which could make people tremble at just one glance.

Upon seeing Qin Ming and his companions, the Demon grinned and suddenly let out a roar.

"Roar!"

In an instant, the Ghost Fog reversed, shattered rocks filled the sky, and an unimaginable force sent Qin Ming and his companions flying.

Yang Zhi and the others were unable to control their bodies and were thrown into the air.

The Demon let out a grotesque laugh, grabbed Yang Zhi, threw him directly into its mouth, chewed him a few times, and blood immediately flowed down the corner of its mouth.

They could even clearly hear the sound of Yang Zhi's bones being chewed.

Yang Zhi let out a single scream and then fell silent.

At that moment, everyone froze, and even Qin Ming was deeply shaken.

He had thought that Perfect Mastery more martial arts techniques would increase his chances of survival, but now it seems that he was just daydreaming!

"Quack!"

The Demon let out a terrifying laugh, and its blood-red vertical eyes immediately swept towards Qin Ming and his companions.

Qin Ming suddenly had a bad feeling. His heart sank and he quickly dodged to the side to avoid the Demon's gaze.

But the others weren't so lucky. Wang Wei and two others were unfortunately struck by the Demon's one-eyed gaze, their bodies instantly turning to stone, and then with a "bang," they turned into pieces of flesh on the ground.

Seeing this horrifying scene, the remaining people felt their scalps tingle, and Qin Ming didn't hesitate to run back.

This Demon spirit is too powerful. With his current strength, going there would be suicide. The only chance of survival is to return to the city!

"Ah!!"

The mournful wails behind him abruptly ceased. Qin Ming's heart sank. Just a moment ago everything was fine, but in the blink of an eye, he was the only one left. The danger of this Ghost Fog had far exceeded his expectations.

Fortunately, the distance wasn't far, Qin Ming used the Wandering Dragon Step to quickly return to the city gate.

"Open the door!"

Qin Ming shouted.

"It's Qin Ming! He's still alive!"

Xiong San's eyes lit up.

They knew the Demon-Hunting Team was in grave danger when they heard screams coming from the Ghost Fog, but they never expected Qin Ming to come back alive.

"Open the door!"

Xiong San immediately gave the order.

"Let's see who dares to drive it!"

Yu Qing stepped forward, "No one is allowed to open fire without my order!"
