The Uncanny Spirit Medium

"The River God's messenger?"

Everyone was shocked.

That terrifying, hairy monster was actually a messenger of the River God?

"Please take a look, everyone."

The old woman held up a small, palm-sized black stone sculpture.

The stone sculpture is a Ghost-Faced Monkey, sculpted so lifelike that it looks exactly like the hairy monster from before.

"What... what's going on? Could that really be the River God's messenger? But why would the messenger eat human brains?"

Most of the people believed the old woman's words.

"The day of the River God Sacrifice is approaching, yet you have failed to gather a suitable candidate. The River God is angered and has sent an envoy to teach you a small lesson. And you, you dared to drive the envoy away!"

The old woman pointed at Qin Ming and yelled, "Don't you know that angering the River God will bring utter destruction to the people of my Desolate City?"

"What are you waiting for? Kill him, throw his body into the river, and appease the River God's wrath!"

If he doesn't die, we will!

The Spirit Medium's voice was shrill and terrifying.

In a short time, many people were persuaded.

They believed in the River God and the Spirit Medium's words, but Qin Ming was not someone to be trifled with either. Even the River God's messenger fled in panic, let alone them.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

A group of fanatical believers and priests surrounded Qin Ming.

"Looks like that kid's in trouble."

Yang Ye stood at the back of the crowd, a cold smile playing on his lips.

He was very curious about how Qin Ming would handle it.

Should they hesitate and avoid these bewitched and fanatical believers, or should they treat them all equally and unleash a massacre?

Seeing this, Xiong San silently shook his head.

His senior brother, Pei Heng, was transformed into a ghost by Ghost Monster and tried to use it to threaten Qin Ming, but in the end, Qin Ming cleaved him in two without hesitation.

If even his Master met such an end, what hope is there for these completely unrelated ordinary people?

Xiong San prided himself on being ruthless, especially after practicing the "Black Sha Skill." In order to improve his skills, he had countless lives on his hands. However, compared to Qin Ming, Xiong San still felt inferior.

He killed people to cultivate his martial arts, but Qin Ming was different. He would not hesitate to kill anyone who threatened him.

These people dared to talk back to Qin Ming; they were practically asking for death!

Sure enough, even knowing that these believers were being misled, Qin Ming showed no mercy and smashed the head of the person in front of him with a single palm strike.

With a loud bang, the man's head exploded, splattering white brain matter all over the ground. Qin Ming didn't use any martial arts techniques; all his movements were completely unpretentious.

A punch, a kick, a claw.

Swords and sabers could only leave a white mark on him when they struck him. Qin Ming suddenly opened his claws, and a terrifying suction force burst forth from his palms, pulling all the swords and sabers into his hands. With a gentle effort, the swords and sabers were easily broken like pieces of paper.

One Martial Artist, defiant of evil, swung his double hammers at Qin Ming's head, only to have his own tiger's mouth split open, bleeding profusely. Qin Ming unleashed both claws, easily tearing the opponent's prized physique to shreds.

In a short period of time, no fewer than dozens of people died at Qin Ming's hands. Their deaths were gruesome, and no one was left with a complete corpse under Qin Ming's control.

"Roar!"

Qin Ming let out a tiger's roar, picked up a long sword, and unleashed the Gale Saber Technique, sweeping away the remaining men like autumn leaves in the wind. Dozens of heads flew into the air at the same time, blood splattering everywhere!

Yang Ye was dumbfounded; the scene before him had a tremendous impact on him.

Qin Ming's counterattack was decisive and bloody, without the slightest hesitation, which made Yang Ye feel a sense of admiration.

If it were him, he would have found it extremely difficult to do that. If he had been as ruthless as Qin Ming back then, he wouldn't have ended up being imprisoned in the Water Prison.

"This man must be possessed by that Ghost Entity. Kill him!"

The old woman showed no fear at all upon seeing this scene; instead, she continued to incite the crowd.

You're the one who deserves to die!

Qin Ming rushed forward, taking seven steps in mid-air before hurling his longsword.

With Qin Ming's immense strength amplifying the blade, it moved with lightning speed, emitting a piercing whistling sound as it hurtled straight towards the old woman's chest.

With a "thud," the long knife pierced the old woman's chest, sending her flying dozens of meters.

The old woman rolled onto the ground, looked at the long knife in her chest, her face expressionless, and actually grabbed the blade herself and quickly pulled the long knife out of her body.

After the knife was pulled out, the wound healed quickly, without even a drop of blood flowing out.

This scene shocked everyone.

Qin Ming's expression became even more solemn.

That last strike used seventy percent of his strength, yet it still couldn't harm this old woman!

I initially thought this old woman was just a Spirit Medium, but now it seems she's far from simple; her body doesn't even look like flesh and blood.

"Ling'er, Wan'er, can you tell what this old woman is? Is she some kind of Ghost Entity?"

Qin Ming asked the two female ghosts in a low voice.

Since being captured, the two female ghosts have been able to drain the life essence of Martial Artists, and have gradually become accustomed to following Qin Ming around.

"She has no ghostly aura whatsoever, so she doesn't seem like Ghost Entity, but she also lacks the vitality of a living person. It's really strange," Wan'er whispered in Qin Ming's ear.

She's a monster!

Ling'er's voice rang out.

What is "strange"?

"A 'strange' is an anomaly, a strange existence that is neither Ghost Entity nor human. Anything that is beyond reason and inexplicable is a 'strange'. Some terrifying strange creatures can be resurrected even after being killed, while some ordinary strange creatures can regenerate limbs. It's not surprising that she was unharmed after you stabbed her; even if you cut off her head, she wouldn't die."

"Then how can we kill her completely?"

"They need a certain energy to recover. If you can deplete that energy within her, you can kill her completely."

How did you know?

Qin Ming suddenly asked.

"Well... I don't know either, it just suddenly popped into my head after you asked."

Ling'er's voice carried a hint of confusion and doubt.

Qin Ming recalled the scene earlier when Li Qingfeng drew his sword at him when Ling'er was in trouble. It seemed that Ling'er had a secret that he didn't know.

Just then, Lu Ming and his group emerged from the crowd.

Upon seeing Lu Ming appear, the old woman actually walked up to him, pointed at Qin Ming Lu Ming her finger, and whispered something.

Seeing this, Qin Ming was certain that the River God Sacrifice was orchestrated by Wangjing Prefecture. Even if it wasn't Wangjing Prefecture, they were definitely aware of it and had a pre-arranged attitude.

What puzzled Qin Ming even more was that this strange creature seemed to know Li Qingfeng very well. How could the Demon Hunters of Wangjing Prefecture, who specialized in hunting Ghost Monster and monsters, have any connection with this strange creature?

First the Li River monster, then this strange old woman— Qin Ming increasingly felt that the water in the Wangjing Prefecture pond was unusually deep.

"Take him down!"

Lu Ming stared at Qin Ming with a cold gaze and decisively gave the order.

He was surrounded by experts at the Blood Refining Realm. At his command, more than a dozen Blood Refining Realm Martial Artist attacked simultaneously, and dozens of constables took out the extremely powerful Zhuge Divine Crossbows, aiming them at Qin Ming from afar.

The Zhuge Divine Crossbow is the most lethal short weapon in the imperial dynasty. It can easily penetrate a three-inch iron board within a hundred meters. The arrow shaft is quenched with Cockscomb Cinnabar Blood's comb. It is a weapon specifically designed to deal with Ghost Monster and demons. The arrowhead is filled with gunpowder made by the Divine Weapon Battalion. After hitting the target, it explodes with a bang. Even Greater Mastery of Horizontal Training Martial Arts will be blown to pieces.

"Release the arrows!"

At Lu Ming's command, hundreds of crossbow bolts rained down on Qin Ming.

This Zhuge Divine Crossbow can fire in rapid succession!

Qin Ming didn't take the hit head-on. He suddenly exerted force with his feet, stomped on the spot, and used the recoil to quickly rise into the air, but another volley of arrows came whistling in.

A succession of twelve Blood Refining Realm experts followed closely behind, arriving in unison with their surging Qi and Blood like a turbulent river, blocking all of Qin Ming's escape routes.

Seeing this, the strange old woman revealed a sinister smile.
