Su Xiao tapped the ghost's facial bones on the ground. They felt hard and solid; even striking them barehanded, Su Xiao couldn't break through this exoskeleton.
Dragon Slayer Flash appeared in Su Xiao's hand. A flash of blade light swept past, and three slashes appeared across the ghost's abdomen.
Su Xiao slit open the dead ghost's belly. He wanted to inspect the state of its feeding. If it hadn't been desperately hungry, then this matter was highly unusual.
Su Xiao looked toward the ghost's stomach sac. He saw no food residue, but instead found a lump of flesh.
"What is this..."
Su Xiao examined the lump of flesh. At that moment, a sudden change occurred. The lump rapidly transformed, becoming humanoid in the blink of an eye before leaping out of the ghost's abdomen and lunging straight at Su Xiao.
With a slap, Su Xiao caught the lump of flesh barehanded. A pale-blue crystalline layer wrapped around his hand, making it resemble a crystal sculpture. This was the new form of Aria he had developed. The crystalline layer, converted from Blue Steel Shadow energy, possessed powerful defensive and isolating properties.
The bright-red lump of flesh twisted in Su Xiao's hand. From his observations, this thing didn't seem like a living organism. It was more like some kind of biological mechanism prepared in advance.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...
The lump of flesh swelled in Su Xiao's hand. Although he wanted to study its composition, he could only throw it away as a precaution.
Pfft~
The lump of flesh shattered. It didn't explode, but instead sprayed out a stream of lurid green mist that corroded a nearby streetlamp with a sizzling sound.
Clearly, the ghost that had killed someone in the street hadn't acted of its own free will. Ghosts were intelligent creatures
