Strange Female Corpse

The Monster's speed was terrifying. Su Ye knew he had to end the fight quickly. Ideally, he'd kill it in one blow, but at the very least, he needed to incapacitate it.

As if sensing Su Ye's intent, the Monster shifted its four arms, merging them into one. A strange green light suddenly erupted.

"Wuwuwu..."

A fierce wind raged in the courtyard, kicking up debris and shattered tiles. Where the two powers met, an eye of the storm instantly formed.

"Boom—"

A thunderous roar, like mountains collapsing and seas surging, shook the entirety of Hedong County. The once-quiet county town seemed to come alive.

Countless houses lit up. The continuous tremors from the ground sent people who didn't know what was happening fleeing their homes in panic, shouting.

"Run! The earth is moving!"

Even the watchmen, beating their gongs, continued their rhythmic clang.

"Clang... clang."

"The earth is moving! The earth is moving! Everyone, flee for your lives!"

On the city walls, the runners all looked towards the Jia Mansion. The man dressed as the Constable immediately gave an order: "Hurry to the county yamen and report this matter to the County Lord."

In the back courtyard, Su Ye bisected the Monster with a single slash. A system notification appeared in real-time.

[Killed [Early Aperture Opening Realm · Ghoul] and gained 115 Assistance Points] [Killed [Early Aperture Opening Realm · Ghoul] and gained 112 Assistance Points] [Available Assistance Points: 8653]

This was the most Assistance Points he had ever accumulated. Su Ye decided not to use them immediately. He'd wait until he returned to the Demon Suppression Division and received the cultivation techniques as a reward.

After searching the corpse for a long time, he finally found two booklets on a tattered red wedding dress.

"A movement technique, and not even a breath-concealing method," Su Ye muttered, flipping them open.

[Shadow Concealment Breath Swallowing Technique - Yellow Grade High Rank] has been recorded. [Treading Snow Without a Trace - Yellow Tier Mid-grade] has been recorded.

"What an unexpected gain."

The core of the Shadow Concealment Breath Swallowing Technique lay in its dual concealment abilities. It could hide one's cultivation realm and suppress one's living aura. Once mastered, even opponents a major realm higher would struggle to discern one's true strength.

As for the breath-concealing method, it would merge one's aura with the surrounding environment, even simulating the effects of corpse qi or malevolent energy to achieve a seamless integration.

"When the sleepy arrive, a pillow is provided," he thought. He had originally intended to use contribution points at the Demon Suppression Division to exchange for such Martial Arts, but now they had come to him.

His apparent cultivation was Early Meridian Opening. If he were to drastically increase his strength using the system, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. Now, with a breath-concealing method as cover, it would save him some trouble.

"The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." He understood this principle. With his abundant Assistance Points, Su Ye spent two hundred and eighty points to directly upgrade the Shadow Concealment Breath Swallowing Technique to the perfected stage.

As his True Qi circulated within him, he felt his aura retract. His previously sharp and imposing presence suddenly became ordinary, the kind that would blend into any crowd unnoticed.

"Crack."

A faint sound emerged. From a pile of collapsed rubble, a hand reached out. Su Ye shifted his focus from the skill panel.

He darted to the rubble and pushed aside the mountain of stones.

Revealed was a young man in the uniform of a Demon Suppression Division Captain. The youth was covered in blood. Upon seeing Su Ye, he exclaimed with joy, "Brother, did you receive my distress signal?"

"Indeed."

"I am Yang Tao. Thank you for your timely assistance, brother." Yang Tao glanced around, seemingly searching for others.

"Did your companions go after the Demonic Beasts?"

"Captain Yang, you misunderstand. I came alone; I have no companions."

Su Ye knew the man had made a mistake, but he had no intention of explaining. After all, dozens of Demonic Beasts and two Early Aperture Opening Realm ghouls...

Compared to his current strength, his achievements were too remarkable, making it difficult not to arouse suspicion.

"Those ghouls were in the Aperture Opening Realm. Lord Su, how did you manage that?" Yang Tao looked at the face before him, which was younger than his own. Both wore the same Captain's attire, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"When I arrived, the place was already like this. Perhaps some senior passed by."

Upon hearing this, Yang Tao quickly got up and bowed towards the sky, solemnly kowtowing three times. "It seems today was not my destined day to die. Thank you for your life-saving grace, senior."

"Thank you for your help, Captain Su. I will surely repay you in the future."

"You are too kind, Captain Yang. We both serve the Demon Suppression Division. Besides, the division has regulations against standing idly by." Su Ye replied calmly.

Yang Tao's face showed the joy of escaping death. He slapped his forehead and hurried back to break open the rubble, explaining, "Below are the family members of the local magistrate and people from the major influential families of the city."

The pavilion's floor tiles had long since shattered. Yang Tao quickly cleared away the stone slabs, revealing the bluestone steps beneath.

As Su Ye slowly entered, he saw dozens of figures lying unconscious under the dim candlelight. The youngest was no more than seven or eight years old.

He woke them one by one. Just then, Su Ye's body suddenly stiffened. He turned sharply and saw a strange figure appear at the entrance of the bluestone steps. Alarmed, he unleashed his full strength and shot upwards.

The figure at the entrance retreated rapidly as Su Ye approached. Outside the secret chamber, Su Ye finally got a clear look at the strange figure.

This isn't right.

The figure was clearly a woman's body, with a tall, well-endowed physique. She was facing him directly.

The neck area only showed a pitch-black back of the head. As gusts of chilling wind blew, the Strange Female Corpse quickly floated high into the sky.

At this moment, Su Ye dared not act rashly. As soon as he chased out of the secret room, he sensed a cold gaze sweep over his entire body, causing cold sweat to stream down his back, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

His whole body stiffened, unable to move even slightly. Only after the cold gaze disappeared did he suddenly realize that he had subconsciously held his breath just now.

"Hoo..."

As the female corpse's figure gradually disappeared, Su Ye let out a heavy sigh of stale air. What kind of ghastly thing was that? Just a single glance at him had made him so nervous.

Su Ye was, after all, a Meridian Opening realm Martial Artist. Yet he had behaved so miserably. The confidence he had gained from his strength completely vanished at this moment.

"Captain Su, did you discover anything unusual?" Yang Tao, leading the recently awakened group, walked out of the underground secret room and asked doubtfully.

Hearing this, Su Ye frowned slightly and pretended, "I saw movement at the entrance of the secret room just now, so I came out to chase.

Did you all see it?" As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the crowd behind him.

Yang Tao said, "We didn't see anything. Captain Su, did you discover anything after chasing out?"

"I didn't find anything unusual. Perhaps I was just momentarily disoriented. I apologize for making you all laugh." Su Ye gave a wry smile and said no more.

Yang Tao harbored doubts. Although he couldn't sense Su Ye's specific strength, as a Captain of the Demon Suppression Division, he should at least be in the Late Body Tempering stage. Those in the Late Body Tempering stage were all vigorous and strong, and wouldn't easily become mentally disoriented.
