A Killing Spree

On the top of the wall, he saw a human head staring intently at him.

If it were a normal human head, that would be one thing, but it was an incredibly large human head, as big as a millstone!

He looked like a boy of about five years old, with only a few strands of long white hair on his head, which made him look somewhat comical.

The boy's skin was deathly pale, his eyes were just white pupils, he had no nose, only a huge mouth that revealed a mouthful of serrated steel teeth when opened, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

At this moment, it was staring intently at Ye Wei, its head gradually rising into the air.

An overwhelming sense of fear quickly enveloped Ye Wei.

"Ghost... ghost!! Senior Brother Qin, help me! Help me!"

Ye Wei's voice was trembling, his face was pale with fright, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't move his feet.

Big Head chuckled repeatedly, then flew directly towards Ye Wei.

It opened its mouth wide, revealing a set of steel teeth. In Ye Wei's horrified gaze, its mouth opened wider and wider until it was as big as a black hole, and it bit down on Ye Wei's head.

No, no!

Ye Wei was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud. Faced with such a terrifying Ghost Monster, the little bit of martial arts he had learned was completely useless.

Just as Ye Wei was about to be swallowed by the Big-Head Evil Ghost, at the critical moment, a blade of light suddenly struck, and with a "plop," it accurately pierced the Big-Head Evil Ghost's head.

Black Sha Qi and scorching Fire Poison Power erupted from the Butcher's Knife, and the Big-Head Ghost Entity let out a miserable scream as its entire head deflated rapidly like a punctured balloon.

As the Big-Head Evil Ghost suddenly shrank in size, the Butcher's Knife also fell to the ground. Upon seeing this, the Big-Head Evil Ghost immediately darted away, only to be met with a Black Sha Palm.

Xiong San slapped the Big-Head Evil Ghost back with one palm, while Qin Ming's palms were wreathed in Fire Poison, and he struck the Big-Head Evil Ghost squarely between the eyebrows.

With a "bang," the Big-Head Evil Ghost turned into ashes and scattered.

"This Ghost Entity must have been attracted by the corpse. I'll go check it out. You wait here."

Xiong San jumped over the wall and glanced around. The place where the corpses used to be piled up was now an empty space. The dried bloodstains on the ground vaguely indicated that this place had been used before. Then, he flashed a few times and quickly disappeared.

"Ye Wei, are you alright?"

Qin Ming helped Ye Wei up from the ground.

"I'm fine."

Ye Wei took a few deep breaths and gradually recovered.

"It's not safe here, you should go back."

Ye Wei nodded.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea after Ye Wei left, Xiong San climbed back over the wall. "Qin Ming, I think what you said is probably true now."

Qin Ming quickly noticed that Xiong San's sleeves were stained with a lot of blood.

Why do you say that?

"I've run into the bandits of Clearwind Stronghold again!"

Qin Ming's face instantly darkened. "Perfect timing! Let's have a good fight!"

We absolutely cannot let the bandits of Clearwind Stronghold succeed!

If we allow them to slaughter indiscriminately, the Ghost Monsters will soon achieve their goal!

We must not let those Ghost Entity get their way, or they will only face certain death!

"Martial Uncle, I'm going out for a bit."

"Don't worry, I've thought of a good place to settle them down."

After saying that, Xiong San began to make arrangements.

He hadn't been the Chief Constable for nothing all these years; he had some ability, and arranging a safe seclusion room wouldn't be a problem for him.

As for Qin Ming, he took advantage of the time and used his Butcher's Knife to kill his way out.

"Kill! Kill all the Ghost Entity! Kill all the bandits of Clearwind Stronghold! Leave no one alive!!"

A voice seemed to be screaming wildly in Qin Ming's mind.

Qin Ming suppressed his anger. Soon after, he heard faint cries and sounds of fighting coming from ahead.

Qin Ming immediately quickened his pace, and soon stopped. Ahead lay a grand mansion with a large sign hanging above the gate.

Plum.

It turned out to be the Li Lineage.

The Li Lineage of Qingshan Town was once the dominant family in Qingyang City. Later, Qin Ming even escorted goods to Qingyang City. After arriving, Li Lineage was suspected by the Li family of embezzling the goods. Until recently, the Li Lineage suffered a great loss at Qin Ming's hands and spent a large sum of money to buy the "Wandering Dragon Step".

Qin Ming quickened his pace and swiftly crossed the gate.

Upon closer inspection, the ground was littered with the corpses of maids and servants.

Most of the maids had their robes torn and were covered in wounds. They died with their eyes wide open, clearly having suffered inhuman torture before their deaths. As for the servants, their faces were all contorted and their bodies were covered in wounds, clearly having suffered great torment before their deaths.

Wailing and screams came from the inner room.

The Li Lineage family was still putting up a fight, but Li Lineage were no match for the forces of Clearwind Stronghold. Even their only Bone Refining Realm expert was beaten to the ground and could no longer stand up.

When Qin Ming arrived, very few people were still alive.

Seeing the once-grand Li Lineage reduced to this state, Qin Ming felt a pang of emotion.

Even with immense wealth, one cannot protect it without absolute power. At this moment, Qin Ming's determination to become stronger became even more resolute.

Who goes there!

The sudden appearance of Qin Ming startled everyone slightly. Upon seeing that it was a young boy walking by, they all cursed him as a little beast.

"I'll take this one, boss. This kid's got soft skin and looks young; this kind of guy is my favorite."

A muscular, burly man stepped forward, a hint of shyness on his face, while the other bandits wore knowing smiles.

Qin Ming was disgusted by the scene, and the moment the big man charged at him, he cleaved the man right between the eyebrows with the Butcher's Knife in his hand.

With a "plop," the burly man was split in two, his intestines spilling out onto the ground in a gruesome sight.

Today, I'm sending you on your way!

Qin Ming transformed into a butcher, imbuing his Butcher's Knife -Butcher's Knife with Fire Poison, turning it into a flaming blade. He moved with the Wandering Dragon Step, sweeping across the entire arena like a fiery whirlwind, killing all the Martial Artists present in just a few breaths.

Seeing the corpses scattered all over the ground, Qin Ming searched the bodies and then rushed to the Li Lineage's warehouse without stopping.

The Li Lineage was practically wiped out, and the place was unattended. Qin Ming kicked the door open and went inside.

There weren't many Spirit Medicine left in the storeroom. Qin Ming stuffed all the remaining old Spirit Medicine into his mouth, eating and refining them as he went, turning them into his own power. Qin Ming also picked up Qi-Blood Pill like candy and poured them into his mouth.

The Qi-Blood Pill is extremely valuable; if outsiders saw Qin Ming consuming it like this, they would definitely scold him for being wasteful.

But with the Ghost Entity causing trouble right now, Qin Ming couldn't care less about that.

In the corner were several large boxes. When they were opened, they were found to be filled with gold and Silver, and another box contained martial arts manuals.

However, most of them are copies, and incomplete ones at that; there are only five or six complete copies in total.

Qin Ming picked it up and looked at it once, then casually shoved it into his pocket. Afterward, he found dozens of silver notes, totaling over ten thousand taels of silver.

These are most of the Li Lineage's silver notes, and now they've all benefited Qin Ming.

After doing all this, Qin Ming left the Li Lineage.

He couldn't take those silver and gold with him, so he had to give them up.

Qin Ming arrived on the street and charged towards the direction from which the sound came.

If you encounter the bandits of Clearwind Stronghold, kill them without mercy, leave no one alive.

They spared no one who caused trouble.

Slay all Demon spirits you encounter.

Only once did Qin Ming encounter the Silver-Haired Evil Ghost after slaying several Wraith.

Qin Ming never expected that the Silver-Haired Evil Ghost had already entered the city.

The city gate tower is now shrouded in Ghost Fog. No one knows whether the city gate is open or not, and no one dares to go and check.

After a brief exchange of blows with the Silver-Haired Evil Ghost, Qin Ming Qin Ming sensed the Ghost Fog gradually enveloping him. Deep within the Ghost Fog, terrifying fluctuations arose, causing him to flee in terror.

After a night of killing, his strength skyrocketed, and he successfully reached the Perfected Flesh-Refining Realm. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Bone Refining Realm, but this was usually extremely difficult. Generally speaking, only one out of ten Flesh Refining Realm could break through to the Bone Refining Realm, and even that wasn't enough.

Qin Ming did a quick calculation and realized that he had killed five groups of bandits from Clearwind Stronghold, totaling at least two hundred people, or even more.

In addition, he killed twenty people who wanted to profit from the chaos and committed numerous evil deeds.

Overnight, Qin Ming looked at the massive amount of Free Attribute Points and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The next step is to find new martial arts techniques. Qin Ming already has a plan in mind.

After daybreak, the Ghost Entity stopped appearing, giving him a chance to rest.

However, he believed that after his disruption last night, Clearwind Stronghold's killing efficiency would definitely decrease significantly.

Qin Ming spoke to Xiong San.

"I did notice something was wrong this morning; the Ghost Fog had actually thinned out."

Xiong San was puzzled.

"Qin Ming, could it be related to you?"

I don't know either.

Qin Ming shook his head.

"Martial Uncle, where is the County Yamen's Sutra Pavilion? I want to go in and take a look."

Xiong San slapped his forehead. "That's right, I almost forgot if you hadn't reminded me. Although the Sutra Pavilion in the County Yamen doesn't have the high-level martial arts techniques that can kill Ghost Monsters like in Wangjing Prefecture, it still has quite a few ordinary martial arts techniques."

Xiong San led Qin Ming to the secret room to make his selection.

"This key was always in that corrupt official's hands. I took it after he died, and I never thought it would come in handy now."

Xiong San chuckled.

He walked ahead, lighting a candle, and the two of them walked through a secret passage beneath the County Yamen, soon arriving at a secret room.

The secret room had two rows of bookshelves, filled with many books, their pages covered in a thick layer of dust, clearly indicating that no one had been here for a long time.

"They're all here, choose whichever you like."

Xiong San casually found a place to sit down.

Qin Ming then began browsing through the martial arts books on the bookshelf one by one.

"Vajra Leg", "Mantis Leg", "Mountain-Splitting Palm", "Stone-Shattering Palm"...

Qin Ming was dazzled by the variety of martial arts techniques, but he didn't find one that satisfied him.

What he lacks now is Horizontal Training Martial Arts and special techniques.

Just then, Qin Ming's gaze was firmly drawn to a secret manual.
