292 Nowhere to Hide

The eyes of the bizarre fiend narrowed. In an instant, his body died.

At the next instant, in the Purple Earth Bai Family’s territory, among the seven to eight homeless people lying in a cramped alley, a skinny youth covered in dirt suddenly opened his eyes.

The instant he opened his eyes, he instinctively pressed his neck, his eyes revealing horror. He quickly looked around and took a few breaths before his expression recovered.

However, there was still some panic in his eyes.

“What’s going on? That person just now…” This youth was none other than that member of the Bizarre Fiend Race. Although he was surprised when Xu Qing found his first host, he didn’t think much of it.

The second host was located in the hinterland of the Zhou family. He was originally filled with confidence that unless the other party contacted the Zhou family to make a move, it was impossible for him to barge in. Once the Zhou family was contacted, he would be able to find out the other party’s identity.

He had already thought of a way to make use of this opportunity to escape. At that time, he could even turn the tables and let the other party know how terrifying the Bizarre Fiend Race was.

In addition, although Purple Earth’s teleportation to the outside world had been sealed, he wasn’t too panicked. Such a thing clearly couldn’t last long. In his judgment, the blockade would definitely be lifted in three to five days at most.

At that time, no one would be able to find him. Even Golden Core cultivators or Nascent Soul cultivators could kill him once but he would still escape in the end.

He had experienced too many similar things. However, this was the only time this cultivator felt that something was amiss.

Not only did the other party find his second identity in an extremely fast time, but the person who arrived even gave him a bizarre feeling.

This was especially so when the other party took out his own intestines and wrapped them around his neck and leaned over to say those words. This caused the heart of this bizarre fiend to tremble again.

“My master greets you. He asked me to tell you that the game… has just begun.”

“The game has just begun…” The cultivator mumbled and his body trembled. He realized that he was in trouble. Not only was the other party powerful, but he also had some special methods.

“Should I activate that body…” The cultivator hesitated for a moment and looked around with a hint of unwillingness. He had prepared a body for himself outside the city that could be activated at any time.

However, once he used it, it meant that he had to leave the Purple Earth’s capital. This made him a little hesitant. After all, as long as he persisted in hiding here for a few more days, the blockade might end.

“Perhaps it’s just a coincidence!” The bizarre fiend took a deep breath and warily looked around. The sun had risen and the other homeless people in the alley were waking up one after another. The bizarre fiend cultivator hurriedly walked toward the entrance of the alley.

His footsteps were a little weak. Although his innate ability was strong, every time he woke up in a new host, the host was already devoured by him. To a certain extent, it was just a corpse.

After he occupied someone’s body, his strength became ordinary and needed time to recover his combat strength.

Unless he buried some innate power in the host in advance. However, this method consumed too much energy, so he put his soul only on the body outside the city.

As he quickly walked forward, his mind was still rapidly operating.

“Damn it, in the past, it was always me in the dark and others in the light. This time, it’s the other way around. Who exactly is that guy? I’ve never heard of such a strange thing.”

“He can control others? That’s not right. Any control would emit some energy, unless it’s a divine sense possession. However, only Nascent Soul cultivators can do such a thing and it can’t be done many times.”

“That person isn’t a Nascent Soul cultivator. The feeling he gives me is that he used a bizarre entity.” As the bizarre fiend cultivator kept analyzing, he walked out of the alley and walked warily along the corner of the street, quickly walking toward the teleportation array of Purple Earth.

He was going to stay near the teleportation array for the next period of time. While waiting for the teleportation array to be unsealed, he would also see if the person who was hiding in the dark and deliberately mystifying things could find him again.

However, less than an hour after he walked out, the instant he passed by another alley, a hand suddenly pressed down on his mouth from the depths of the darkness. A finger even reached in and forcefully propped up his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide.

Everything happened too quickly. Although the bizarre fiend reacted, this body was much slower. At the next instant, a huge force dragged his body into the alley.

The bizarre fiend tried to see the other party’s appearance, but he couldn’t even turn his head. Not long later, he was brought to an abandoned house and pressed to the ground.

Only then did he see the person in front of him. It was the middle-aged cultivator who had killed his first body yesterday.

The other party’s eyes were filled with endless coldness. The instant their gazes met, the mind of the bizarre fiend cultivator shook. At the next instant, his chin was forcefully broken off and the intense pain caused the veins on his forehead to bulge.

As such, he couldn’t bite his tongue and commit suicide. Moreover, with his cultivation and combat strength that hadn’t recovered, he couldn’t commit suicide in front of the other party anyway.

“Uuggh…” Just as the bizarre fiend cultivator was about to make a sound, Xu Qing coldly scattered some poison powder on him.

The toxicity of this poison powder wasn’t high. Xu Qing had mixed it in the past. As for the effects of this poison powder, after some adjustment, it could increase the sensitivity of the body to all stimuli.

As the poison powder drifted and gradually sank into the other party’s body, Xu Qing expressionlessly pinched the finger of the bizarre fiend cultivator.

Crack, crack.

He crushed it bit by bit.

The bizarre fiend cultivator’s body trembled from the pain. With the poison powder magnifying the already intense pain infinitely, the pain transformed into a storm that turned into a mournful cry.

Even though his chin was broken, the sound formed by the intense pain still couldn’t be stopped from coming from his throat.

Xu Qing’s expression didn’t change at all. Only hatred rose in his eyes as he completely crushed the other party’s hand into meat paste. After that, he fed the other party a medicinal pill to keep him awake.

He continued. This was because although this bizarre fiend cultivator was screaming miserably, his eyes didn’t reveal the fear Xu Qing was familiar with.

From the start to the end, although the other party was screaming miserably and was in pain, he wasn’t afraid!

Xu Qing’s gaze became even colder. Gradually, the other party’s entire arm turned into minced meat. After that, Xu Qing also crushed his other hand bit by bit.

He took out a dagger and began to cut the legs of the bizarre fiend cultivator even while the latter screamed and weakened. He didn’t let go of any inch of his skin.

There was blood all over the ground but the bizarre fiend wasn’t dead yet. This was because Xu Qing’s medicinal pills provided him with life force.

Blood-curdling screams rang out once again. However, amidst these blood-curdling screams, a hint of provocation slowly appeared in the eyes of the bizarre fiend.

“Do you know why I am screaming? It’s because you’re not the first to do this to me, nor will you be the last. I’ve already grasped the method to transmit the pain through my voice.” The voice came out from within the body of the bizarre fiend.

The blood-curdling screams came out along with the voice as though he had split into two persons.

“Because I know that you don’t dare to kill me so easily. You’re taking revenge for Grandmaster Bai, right? Before that old man died, he was writing a letter. I wonder who he was writing it to. It couldn’t be you, right?”

“Although I don’t know how you found me, I think you’re more concerned about the person behind me and want to find the mastermind, right? I know this. I have all the answers you want, but I… won’t tell you.”

This cultivator’s eyes were red and he screamed endlessly. Xu Qing punched and shattered his mouth. The minced meat sealed his mouth, causing him to be unable to scream.

However, the voice from his body was laughing wildly.

“Do you know how I killed that old man? Haha, I originally wanted to parasitize that chick called Tingyu, but I didn’t think it was fun enough. Guess who I parasitized in the end?”

Xu Qing stopped and looked at the bizarre fiend. His eyes gradually narrowed as a terrifying energy fluctuation slowly spread out from his body.

This scene caused the mind of the bizarre fiend cultivator to tremble. In reality, there were still some slight differences between what he had said and what he was thinking. He was indeed not afraid of death and was used to torture. However, Xu Qing’s ruthlessness still caused his heart to tremble violently.

This was especially so since the other party didn’t ask or say a word from the start.

It was as though the other party didn’t care about anything and was only immersed in the torture. His movements were proficient and he didn’t show any hesitation. He even avoided the major blood vessels.

This scene made him realize… that the other party had done this too many times in the past.

“This is a lunatic, a pervert!!”

Hence, he wanted to anger the other party and make him kill him. Although he had long set an irreversible time of death for each of his host bodies, this time, he wanted to die early.

Xu Qing looked at the cultivator from the Bizarre Fiend Race in front of him. The totemic tattoo on his back flickered and black flames rose around him. It didn’t transform into the Golden Crow’s shadow but fused into Xu Qing’s right hand. Xu Qing then pressed his right hand on the forehead of the bizarre fiend.

At the next instant, a huge suction force erupted from his hand. The eyes of the bizarre fiend cultivator suddenly widened and his body started withering rapidly. A large amount of qi and blood rose and headed straight for Xu Qing’s right hand. It was also because of the intense fluctuations in his emotions earlier that a trace of origin fog was finally revealed and extracted.

This trace of fog was the origin power of the Bizarre Fiend Race.

Back then, when Xu Qing attacked for the first time, he didn’t manage to absorb the other party’s origin. Hence, this time, he tortured him and caused his emotions to fluctuate intensely to be more convenient to absorb his origin power.

The instant before the bizarre fiend cultivator died, Xu Qing spoke softly and his only sentence since the start of the torture entered the ears of the bizarre fiend cultivator.

“It’s not over. We’ll see each other in a while.”
