"Palm Thunder!"

Following Zhang Feng's voice, which sounded like a profound reverberation from the universe.

Electric sparks flashed instantly in the palm of his hand!

"Crackling!"

This sound was not from the skeletons grinding against each other.

It was a thunderbolt as thick as an arm, shooting out instantly!

It landed squarely on the skeleton lunging at Hu Huixin.

A series of teeth-gritting sounds filled the air.

The skeleton was immobilized on the spot.

The thunder continuously danced through the hollow bones.

Instantly, it engulfed the red flames in the skeleton's empty eye sockets.

Encased in Zhang Feng's Palm Thunder, the flames burned even more fiercely.

Of course, this did not mean the flames were growing stronger.

That frantically flickering form clearly indicated a struggle!

No matter how vigorously the flames burned, they couldn't withstand Zhang Feng's Palm Thunder!

After flickering for just a few breaths of time.

With a light "puff," all the flames extinguished and disappeared instantly.

At the same time.

A mass of black gas, visible only to Zhang Feng, drifted out of the skeleton and slowly dissipated into the air.

But during this dissipation, it gradually formed a ferocious human face.

This face, with a gaping mouth, seemed to use all its strength to emit a hoarse cry:

"Sea... City..."

Afterward, the world returned to tranquility.

All the black gas vanished completely.

Hu Huixin couldn't see or hear any of this scene or sound.

Zhang Feng knew that the black gas was the last wisp of the skeleton owner's lingering soul.

Before dissolving, it tried to convey all the information it possessed through soul vibrations.

"Sea City?"

Zhang Feng pondered slightly.

"Could it be the whereabouts of that Evil Cultivator?"

However, at this moment, Zhang Feng looked a bit pale.

His body swayed slightly.

Fortunately, a significant amount of spiritual energy instantly filled Zhang Feng's Dantian.

This spiritual energy seemed to be feedback from helping the souls of the homeless find release.

But Zhang Feng still shook his head helplessly and said:

"Am I really this weak now? Even Palm Thunder takes such a toll on me?"

Indeed...

This Palm Thunder is not the same as the Qimen Zheng Technique Zhang Feng used before to destroy the electric box.

One-tenth...

Right now, his cultivation has only recovered to one-tenth of what it was.

At this level, he couldn't even learn Palm Thunder in his previous life!

Basic Thunder Skills might be possible, but the Palm Thunder that can communicate with the Five Mountains Thunder requires Zhang Feng's power to recover to at least one-and-a-half times its former strength.

Therefore, Zhang Feng was using it prematurely, resulting in high consumption.

This strengthened Zhang Feng's resolve:

"No way, I must solve more cases, or else I'd really become a weakling..."

A light "plop" sound came.

The skeleton, having lost all its power, tumbled down lightly.

Reasonably speaking, the Five Mountains Thunder should have shattered this skeleton into bits.

However, this was another reason for Zhang Feng's enormous energy consumption.

He adjusted the primary focus of the thunder attack!

Because this skeleton belonged to the D City Branch's morgue.

If he shattered it, the officers might think the body was stolen, causing an uproar.

That wouldn't do.

So, Zhang Feng forcibly controlled the Palm Thunder to attack only the soul.

This even caused some backlash on himself!

Fortunately, the seamless replenishment of spiritual energy offset the backlash damage.

Zhang Feng was not harmed.

But Hu Huixin was certainly going to be shocked!

Because the skeleton had initially lunged at Hu Huixin with the intent to attack.

Therefore.

With a "clap!" the skeleton unexpectedly sprawled onto Hu Huixin.

"Ahh!!"

Hu Huixin screamed again.

Panicked, she pushed the skeleton and stood up, face pale and tear-streaked with terror.

Trying to distance herself from the grisly object, she attempted to push it away.

But who would have thought at this moment, the door of the morgue suddenly opened from the outside.

A flashlight beam shone directly in.

The nervous voice of the colleague on duty rang out at once:

"What's going on?! What happened?!"

The worst fear is sudden silence!

Lin Rui's rapid footsteps were still a step too late.

She now stood behind the colleague, covering her face, unable to bear seeing the scene or imagining the awkward situation to come.

Zhang Feng was also stunned in place.

Hu Huixin still held the skeleton by the shoulders in her hands!

From the overwhelming fear, her action of trying to throw the skeleton stopped abruptly.

Her eyes had even become asymmetrically sized, staring at the duty officer entering.

The duty colleague was dumbfounded!

Hearing strange noises, collisions, and a woman not knowing if she was delighting or screaming, he thought it haunted, so he rushed to open the door and check.

And then he saw Hu Huixin embracing a skeleton, standing there awkwardly?!

This...

The duty officer's expression turned odd, interpreting the scene and questioned:

"Officer Hu... are you... dancing with a skeleton?"

Dancing?

As soon as the word slipped out.

Zhang Feng and Lin Rui both paused!

Wouldn't you say, wouldn't you just say!

The way Hu Huixin grabbed the skeleton's shoulders really did resemble a ballroom dance move!

Lin Rui was quick to respond!

With an impulsive clap, she exclaimed:

"Indeed! Officer Hu loves to dance!"

"Gosh! Forensic Doctor Lin, you startled me! How did you manage to be right behind me?!"

Lin Rui's clapping startled the duty colleague, making him jump three feet in place!

Nearly turned to run.

Yet Lin Rui ignored this, darting into the morgue, reaching Zhang Feng's side.

Prodding Zhang Feng with her shoulder, she said:

"Forensic Doctor Zhang and I are just here to watch Officer Hu's dance!"

"I just went to the bathroom; did I miss Officer Hu's dance moves, Zhang Feng?"

Meaning she was signaling Zhang Feng to speak up quickly.

"Oh~"

Zhang Feng quickly played along:

"Yes, Officer Hu dances beautifully!"

"I just don't understand why Officer Hu has such a hobby, enjoying dancing with skeletons! She begged me to show her to her dance partner, honestly..."

After speaking, Zhang Feng turned to the increasingly dark-faced Hu Huixin, encouraging:

"Officer Hu, dance, don't just stand there, give our colleague a performance!"

But Hu Huixin still stiffened, hiding her face behind the skeleton, gesturing angrily in the direction of Zhang Feng and Lin Rui.

Her mouth shape said all, definitely not any pleasant words.

The duty officer at the door looked at the trio, listened to their voices, eye twitching continuously.

At last, swallowing, he finally said:

"Umm... um... I'm still on duty, I better not disturb Officer Hu's enjoyment, Officer Hu, please, continue..."

With that, awkwardly backing out of the morgue, carefully closing the door behind.

Turning away, shaking his head in bewilderment:

"These days, people sure are varied, huh?"

"Officer Xiao Hu seemed so refined, refreshing, pure and lovely, yet who knew she'd have such hobbies?"

"Honestly..."

Meanwhile, leaving the morgue, he didn't hear the wail emerging from within:

"Zhang Feng!"

"You bastard!!!"
