Are You Human or Ghost?!

With the chaos erupting, Jiang Yuan's entire aura surged.

His Qi and Blood stopped burning, instead turning the color of flames, becoming more restrained yet more aggressive.

The Acquired Savage Physique was completely unleashed, and Jiang Yuan transformed into a small giant.

Jiang Yuan's pupils were no longer black but crimson, with a hint of azure blue at the center.

The faint black qi coiling around the Hua Jin Martial Artist before him was something Jiang Yuan had never seen before.

Jiang Yuan silently recorded the anomaly on the Hua Jin Martial Artist in his mind.

His hand shot forward.

His other palm moved towards the Hua Jin Martial Artist's head.

The Hua Jin Martial Artist's face changed drastically, his pupils shrinking. He immediately reached for his waist, intending to draw his weapon.

The next second, his outstretched hand drooped, losing all strength.

Looking up again, Jiang Yuan's hand was already gripping the Hua Jin Martial Artist's head. His palm tightened, the muscles on his arm bulging like granite, his arm swelling by a circumference. His five fingers had forcefully crushed the Hua Jin Martial Artist's skull, splattering red and white everywhere.

Jiang Yuan's expression was blank. He activated his Exotic Bone power, burning away the liquid splashed on his body.

He then looked towards the faceless person on the other side, who had already lost the ability to speak.

"You, you, you! Are you human or ghost?" The faceless person's featureless face was contorted into an expression of extreme shock.

Jiang Yuan clenched his fist and walked in front of him. Just as he was about to say something, he shook his head.

"Forget it. No matter what I say, you won't tell the truth. Just die!"

"Wait..." The faceless person's forehead was covered in sweat. He heard Jiang Yuan's words and panicked instantly. Just as he was about to say something, the next second...

"Bang." Red and white splattered.

Jiang Yuan burned away the liquid on his hands.

He didn't understand this person. Even if this person wanted to say something, it might not be true, and they might even try to play tricks later, causing bigger trouble.

So, he killed them.

Jiang Yuan didn't want to leave any trouble behind.

As for the people behind them, he was here now, and they would eventually come looking for him.

And the reason for their disappearance? Didn't he have a powerful uncle?

Could a mere kid in the Late Qi and Blood Stage really kill a Hua Jin expert?

Jiang Yuan conjured a spark in his hand. The spark fell onto the corpse on the ground. The body burned and soon turned to ash.

[Points +80]

[Points +80]

[Points +100]

These were the points gained from killing these three people.

The number of points was neither too high nor too low, but what was strange was that the Hua Jin expert was considered an Abnormality?

Moreover, a Hua Jin expert with such strength only yielded twenty more points than the two faceless people.

It was truly strange.

Jiang Yuan patted his clothes, tidied himself, and let out a whistle. His dark red steed emerged from the grass by the roadside and ran to Jiang Yuan's side.

Jiang Yuan stroked the horse, mounted it, and headed towards Quhe Town, where he had another task to complete.

"Father! What are you talking about!" The young girl's cute face was tinged with shy anger.

She was a delicate young girl with piled-up, snow-like black hair styled into a cloud bun, adorned with a light jade hairpin. She wore an ice-blue, cross-collared, chest-high ruqun.

Her appearance was lovely, her eyes like shining pearls, her beauty like exquisite jade, and her delicate brows held a faint scholarly aura.

However, the girl's shy anger disrupted this aura.

"Wan'er, this is an agreement between your father and Uncle Wen..." A middle-aged man, dressed in luxurious robes but built stoutly like a bear, exuding an imposing presence, sat on a seat. He took a sip of tea with a helpless expression and said.

"Father! How can there be a random marriage contract! Besides, Wan'er's partner must be the one she loves, how can it be like this..." The girl named Wan'er stomped her foot, saying indignantly.

"Enough! Your father is one of the Head Escorts of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Promises cannot be broken without reason! Although Jiang Yuan only reached the Mid Qi and Blood Stage at sixteen, he accumulated strength and broke through to the Late Qi and Blood Stage within a year. He has also mastered two minor-level ultimate skills. He is not bad."

This middle-aged man was none other than Beichuan Qingtian, one of the three Head Escorts of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

The young girl before the middle-aged man was Beichuan Qingtian's only daughter, Beichuan Wan.

Beichuan Wan bit her lip lightly, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of moisture.

Beichuan Qingtian sighed when he saw this and continued, "The marriage contract I made with your Uncle Wen was that if Jiang Yuan proved to be promising, the contract would be valid. If he were just a good-for-nothing, I wouldn't feel at ease entrusting you to him. He hadn't shown any progress before, but unexpectedly, he didn't cry out until he did, shining brightly in the exchange match with the Fengxing Family..."

Beichuan Qingtian paused and continued, "The decree of parents and the words of a matchmaker. Unless you can make Jiang Yuan personally agree to break the engagement, or defeat him head-on! Then your father can speak to your Uncle Wen."

Hearing this, Beichuan Wan's eyes lit up. She clenched her small fists and said through gritted teeth, "I'm about to break through to the Late Qi and Blood stage too. Jiang Yuan, you just wait!"

"But that kid Jiang Yuan is truly remarkable. Feng Xiaoyao of the Fengxing Family isn't his match either. I've watched him grow up. Although he was a bit lazy before, he has a good nature. Now that he's achieved something, I can..."

Beichuan Qingtian trailed off as Beichuan Wan snorted and left, heading in the direction of the training grounds.

Seeing this, Beichuan Qingtian gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and finished his unfinished sentence in a low voice.

"I can also rest assured leaving you to him..."

"Damn it! A day ago, Pan Qi and Pan Jiu's Sin Qi Bottles shattered, and Shi Wu's Sin Qi Bottle shattered too! Has Wenzhao sensed something?"

In the pitch-black room, a figure shrouded in a black robe stood before the main seat. Darkness enveloped his entire body, making his face beneath the hood impossible to discern.

Before the figure, two people knelt, dressed differently.

One of them was Yin He from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

"Yin He!"

"Here."

"Go and test Jiang Yuan. A mere Late Qi and Blood stage cultivator shouldn't be able to withstand Shi Wu's pursuit. Wenzhao must have given him some powerful means or is protecting him. Go and investigate what's really going on."

"Yes!"

"Be careful. There are few moles within the escort agency, and your role is the most crucial."

"Understood."

"And you, since you've arrived in Haiyuan City, the next phase of the plan can also be carried out simultaneously. Hmm, the more chaotic Haiyuan City becomes, the better."

"Yes, my lord!"

After giving his instructions, the black-robed figure dissolved into black water and merged with the ground.

"He'er, have you thought about what you're going to do?"

"Get lost! Is 'He'er' something you can call me? As for what I'm going to do, do I need to tell you?" Yin He rose from the ground, her demeanor completely different from the pure, innocent girl who stayed by Jiang Yuan's side.

At this moment, Yin He was as alluring as a rose with thorns, a hint of ferocity on her face.

Yin He snorted and left the room, leaving behind the solitary figure within.
