The Blood-Clad Ghost died for good.
Strangely, its flesh and blood did not rot and turn black.
Jiang Chen seemed to have expected this. First, he blasted it two or three times with the Thunder Method, then used his Soul-Seizing Golden Pupils to drain every last wisp of Yin Qi squeezed out of it.
Then he carefully sealed the charred flesh inside a specially made airtight bag covered in inscribed talismanic characters.
This was a Spirit-Locking Bag.
Experts of B-Rank and above could collect them from the Netherworld for free to contain cursed objects, corpses, and the like at the Blood-Clad Ghost Level or higher.
Once a ghost reached the Blood-Clad Ghost Level,
its body became extremely contaminating.
If its corpse was left untreated after it was killed, the lingering curse might latch onto a living person or another ghost after some time, spawning another terrifying monster.
This alone showed how difficult a Blood-Clad Ghost was to deal with.
Simply killing one was already incredibly difficult.
Even someone as ridiculously overpowered as Jiang Chen had gone to considerable trouble.
For an ordinary B-Rank Grandmaster facing one alone at equal strength, it would practically require staking their life on the fight.
Even if they managed to kill the Blood-Clad Ghost in the end,
they would be left half-crippled themselves.
That was why many missions above B-Rank were handled either by ganging up on the target or by overwhelming it with superior strength.
For instance, a B+ expert might only take B- missions.

Then he searched the tunnel for anything useful.
After that, he called Lin Youwei over and prepared
