Four Kills Achievement, Suppressing Corpse King Blood

"Bang"--

Chu Ge advanced like a tiger descending a mountain, his spine cracking and popping like a python twisting, propelling him forward. He coiled his entire body like a rope before throwing another punch.

Crack--

The second strongman, caught off guard, had another arm broken as he tried to block. It slammed hard into his chest.

The flagstones beneath their feet shattered, exploding into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.

Seeing the opponent grunt and prepare to counter with his Qi and Blood, Chu Ge quickly exerted his strength, his Qi and Blood surging, his Qi energy erupting.

Boom!--

The sharp, powerful Qi energy struck like waves shattering rocks, penetrating the man's body.

"Pfft!--"

The strongman spat out a mouthful of green blood. A mist of blood erupted from his back, his clothes tearing and fluttering away like scraps of cloth as his body was sent flying backward.

In the blink of an eye, both Blood Change Realm Martial Cultivators were killed by Chu Ge on the spot.

At this moment, angry roars could be heard from the alley entrance not far away, and the figures of two more strongmen could be seen rushing over rapidly.

However, Chu Ge suddenly retreated like a large cat, flipping backward.

His figure instantly crossed the alley wall, flashing to the other side.

The two strongmen let out long cries and followed him over the alley wall simultaneously.

But the moment they crossed the alley wall, a figure wrapped in a cloak suddenly fled rapidly from the other side.

A Shadow Puppet.

The two figures immediately turned, about to pursue.

One of them suddenly threw a punch, his Qi energy transforming into a fierce wave that swept forward.

But just as they turned, a burly figure rushed out from the alley corner. The shadow he cast on the wall became a giant, demon-like silhouette.

"Die!--"

Chu Ge seized the moment the Shadow Puppet confused the two, advancing like a dragon. He clawed out, his five fingers splayed, striking with ruthless precision.

With a "thwack," the incredibly sharp Crimson Scale Claws plunged directly into the heart of the strongman in front of him, crushing it instantly.

However, a bizarre scene unfolded. Despite his heart being crushed, the opponent roared and turned his head.

The muscles in his chest suddenly tensed, clamping down on Chu Ge's arm.

"Beast Power!!"

At this critical juncture, the Beast Power Paper Talisman stuck to Chu Ge's back suddenly brightened.

The Qi and Blood within him surged like roaring river waves, and he instantly unleashed the Exotic Power secret technique, Blood Rage.

With a sudden heave of his arm, he threw a punch.

Boom!--

A hole burst through the strongman's body, his bones shattering. Blood mist flew everywhere as he fell backward, looking up at the sky.

At this time, the fourth strongman had also destroyed the Shadow Puppet and turned to charge at Chu Ge with murderous intent.

"Come on!"

Chu Ge's Qi and Blood surged wildly under the secret technique's effect, his eyes blazing.

He suddenly spread his arms. His originally loose clothing was instantly stretched and torn by his bulging muscles, exploding into countless shreds that flew in all directions. His body shot forward like a tiger with wings.

Rustle, rustle, rustle--

Streams of true Qi surged and flowed throughout his body. The veins beneath his skin coiled like earthworms and chains, and the muscles and bones throughout his body crackled and popped in a rapid succession of explosions.

Blood Rage!

It felt as if an incredibly powerful force was erupting within his body, eager to break free!

"Kill!"

Chu Ge's face flushed red like Guan Yu's, radiating power. He raised his arms high, and the myriad threads of Qi energy from his body blasted out like a catapult. His knotted muscles twisted like ropes as he suddenly twisted his waist and threw a punch!

"Crack!--"

The moment their fists and palms met.

An astonishing force, accompanied by surging Qi and Blood, erupted.

The strongman's body trembled violently. His hand bones shattered, his radius bone broke, and his arm folded at an unnatural angle with a "crack."

He glared at Chu Ge, struggling to speak, "Who... who exactly are you!?"

A fierce and surging Qi energy suddenly rushed directly into his body, attacking his Heart Meridian. His body instantly stiffened.

Chu Ge advanced like a dragon, delivering a follow-up punch with a cold expression, saying nothing.

"Bang"--

The strong man's skull cracked open, blood gushed from his eyes, and he died on the spot.

The dead don't need to know too much.

Whoosh—!

A surge of energy erupted from Chu Ge, pushing back the surrounding blood mist.

He walked out of the blood mist. Under the moonlight, his muscular, well-built body was revealed, its lines streamlined and explosive like a leopard's. Between his shoulder blades, which resembled a ghostly mask, a golden paper talisman dimmed and melted into a pool of golden liquid that dripped down.

"Swish, swish, swish—"

Chu Ge removed his Porter Mask, quickly calmed his Qi and Blood, and his flushed face returned to normal. He rapidly exited the Blood Rage state, immediately feeling a sense of weakness after the depletion of his Qi and Blood.

Fortunately, this use of the secret technique didn't last as long as his previous attempt.

In less than a breath, the battle was over.

At the same time, he felt the bloodline aura of the Crimson Scale Claw Fish within his arms had been completely consumed. The scales on his arms and the surging power quickly receded, and he exited the talent state on his own.

"The bloodline is gone. One less trump card. The Beast Power Paper Talisman uses are also all gone."

Chu Ge sighed, hoping he could purchase new, suitable Spirit Fish in the Prefectural City to replenish this trump card.

He quickly began to clean up the battlefield.

He sacrificed the four corpses into the Dragon Bell and quickly collected the shattered Shadow Puppets on the ground.

The battle had been extremely fierce, but from start to finish, it had actually only taken a dozen breaths.

Therefore, despite the commotion, it hadn't immediately attracted anyone nearby.

As soon as Chu Ge finished collecting the corpses, he heard movement in the distance. He immediately picked up the kite beside him and leaped away.

Dozens of breaths later.

Chu Ge observed the surrounding energy fluctuations through the Thousand Mile Kite, avoiding densely populated areas.

He removed his Porter Mask and arrived behind the Moon Xi Inn.

He leaped onto the second floor of the inn and immediately flashed through the window into his room.

"Hoo—"

Almost as soon as he entered, he felt a small shadow pounce towards him, fierce and a little seductive with its mental impact.

"Xiao Qian, it's me!"

Chu Ge immediately warned.

Xiao Qian, who had been pouncing to possess him, saw Chu Ge clearly and immediately pounced into his arms, crying nervously.

"Zhu, Zhu Zi, you're back! Let's go, let's go quickly! Xiao Qian feels something is wrong. This feeling is like... like some great villains have come, and they want to take Xiao Qian back..."

Chu Ge comforted Xiao Qian, lifting her paper doll body with his hand. "It's okay, I've already found them. I dealt with them on the way just now."

Xiao Qian froze. Her delicate little nose twitched, and she faintly smelled the faint scent of corpse energy on Chu Ge. Her pretty face immediately turned slightly pale.

"Zhu Zi, you, you really ran into them. They are very strong, you..."

"They are indeed very strong. All four were masters. The Corpse Herding Sect is truly formidable. I also paid a price, and with the element of surprise, otherwise, I might not have been able to annihilate them all."

Chu Ge shook his head with a wry smile. He still felt dizzy, as if he were anemic. The side effects of the Exotic Power secret technique were still quite significant.

Xiao Qian was touched. She buried her little head against Chu Ge, rubbing against him. In her heart, she decided that from now on, no matter what, she would do her utmost to satisfy Chu Ge's cultivation requirements.

"Alright, you're right. It might not be safe here anymore. Let's find a new place to stay. By the way, do they have any way to track your location?"

"It, it might be. Perhaps they used Corpse King Blood. Xiao Qian was revived by Corpse King Blood before. With this blood, they might be able to track Xiao Qian's whereabouts. And, you also have corpse energy on you. Your clothes need to be dealt with quickly too."

"Corpse King Blood and corpse energy? These things should also be classified as evil powers, right? Perhaps the Auspicious Ruyi Charm can suppress them."

Chu Ge pondered.

He immediately took off his clothes and boots and sacrificed them directly into the Dragon Bell to be destroyed.

Then, he tried taking out an Auspicious Ruyi Charm, infused it with Exotic Power, and had Xiao Qian approach it.

As soon as Xiao Qian approached the charm, her delicate body trembled, and her pretty face showed discomfort.

At the same time, the Exotic Power within the charm began to slowly deplete, and the corresponding yellow paper began to scorch black.

But this time, it wasn't the rapid swaying warning of the charm, but rather its function of warding off evil.

"How are you?"

Chu Ge looked at Xiao Qian's uncomfortable expression, somewhat surprised.

Xiao Qian's little face was pale, and she forced a smile. "I'm, I'm alright. I feel like the Corpse King Blood power implanted in my body is being suppressed. It might be effective..."

"That's good! Just bear with it for now. Once we confirm it's safe, I'll find a way to solve the Corpse King Blood problem for you."

Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to pack his things.

Although the Auspicious Ruyi Charm's function of warding off evil seemed capable of suppressing the Corpse King Blood.

To be safe from any accidents, he still planned to move to an inn closer to the Demon Suppressing Division in the city.

The Corpse Herding Sect was, after all, an unorthodox and evil sect.

Although it hadn't been listed among the evil sects to be cracked down upon in the Great Zhou before, its situation might become dangerous after the incident of the Flying Head Zombies attacking Linyuan City.

Even if it was the act of a renegade disciple, there was still some degree of joint responsibility.

Therefore, even if there were other powerful Corpse Herding Sect experts residing in the Prefectural City, they might not dare to cause trouble under the nose of the Demon Suppressing Division.
