"How… How is this even possible? All my blood and sweat are wasted!"

Xiangxi Phantom Lord's voice sounded terrified and astonished. He just could not believe what he just witnessed. Seconds ago, he was mocking Chen Xiaobei for being foolhardy. With Carcass Horde Formation boosting the combat power of Bull-Headed Demon, he truly believed that it was more than enough to kill everyone here. He could never imagine that the Bull-Headed Demon would be killed by a single slash! This cruel ending left Xiangxi Phantom Lord traumatized. He even started to wonder whether he was dreaming.

Though he sounded afraid, his body did not even move an inch, which was unusual. Only Chen Xiaobei noticed this small detail as the others were gloating happily.

"We won! Mr. Chen won! He just killed that demon with a single slash! This is truly unbelievable!"

"This is so cool! Seven colored divine light! It's invincible! Mr. Chen, you are truly powerful and cool!"

"I said something wrong earlier. We thought Mr. Chen came here to be killed by the demon! I didn't think that he would be the one to save us in the end!"

"That's right! We have to thank Mr. Chen for saving our lives once again!"

"Thank you so much for saving our lives… Thank you so much…"

.....

The crowd was left in a state of euphoria. Aside from shock, they actually felt grateful that Chen Xiaobei saved their lives over and over again throughout this whole journey.

"Xiaobei…"

Luo Puti turned around and stared at Chen Xiaobei with her alluring and soulful eyes. Looking at the man in front of her, she felt like she was drowning in nectar – turning her into a shy little girl.

"Don't say a word. Just kiss me!"

With a grim smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei stared right back the woman that stood in front of him anticipatedly.

"No way in this world that I will kiss you now! I-I have to go and capture that villain!"

Immediately, Luo Puti's face flushed and she had to make up an excuse to walk away. At the same time, the rest of them had calmed themselves down to carry on with their assignments. Slowly, they approached Xiangxi Phantom Lord.

"Everyone! Be careful!"

Chen Xiaobei reminded everyone loudly. He could sense that there was something wrong with Xiangxi Phantom Lord but he could not put his finger on it. After learning it the hard way, the crowd did not dare to disobey Chen Xiaobei anymore. With caution, all of them surrounded Xiangxi Phantom Lord.

Upon confirming there was no danger several times, Wang Poqiong ran to Xiangxi Phantom Lord immediately. He then grabbed on to Xiangxi Phantom Lord's right hand and brought it to his back. Following that, he landed a kick on the joint of his leg to force him to kneel on the ground!

"Got it! Finally, I capture Xiangxi Phantom Lord! From today onwards, I'm the chief inspector of Six Doors! Hahaha…"

Not only he did not receive any praises from anyone, instead, he was greeted with stares of contempt.

"Vice chief inspector Wang! Don't you feel embarrassing for saying something like this? Mr. Chen and Shijie Luo are the ones that brought him down! You have no right to claim this glory!"

"That's right! Without Mr. Chen and Shijie Luo, you'd be on your way to heaven! Also, do you really think you can stay alive and talk shit here if they did not save your life?"

"Six Doors is responsible for maintaining the order of Jianghu! We have to act accordingly and be reasonable! The chief inspector position belongs to Shijie Luo! Do not expect our service if the chief inspector isn't her!"

"That's right! Support Shijie Luo! Support Shijie Luo!"

...

The truth was clearly shown and the crowd was not blind either. Without waiting for Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti to say a single word, all of them took turns to land a slap on Wang Poqiong's face. Taken aback, he was drowning in embarrassment. As the saying goes, capture one's heart and you can have the whole world!

Initially, Ouyang Jingxin and Lin Nutao wanted to pull the same thing as well. However, they chose to shut their mouths and they saw things had gone sideways. Neither of them wanted to be enemies of the public. Unfortunately, they were still adamant about carrying out their evil plan. The two of them tried to approach Chen Xiaobei slowly and silently.

'As long as we capture Chen Xiaobei, we can force Luo Puti to drop all her defenses! By that time, we just need to kill all of them and claim all the glory!"

"Remove his mask!"

Luo Puti strode towards Xiangxi Phantom Lord and gave on a stern order.

"Yes…"

Rendered in frustration, Wang Poqiong had to obey her order.

Everyone shifted their attention to Xiangxi Phantom Lord. They were curious about this extremely evil man's look.

*Pow!*

Without warning, Xiangxi Phantom Lord' stomach exploded! Like a bomb, its explosive power was powerful! Dozens of black Qi flew towards the crowd at lightning speed. No one among the crowd managed to dodge the black Qi because they were standing too close to him.

"Shit… What the hell just happened?"

Within a split second, everyone including Chen Xiaobei was marked by the black Qi.

"Shit! This is poisonous gas… I can't come up with any strength at all…"

"It's a trap! This Xiangxi Phantom Lord is vicious!"

"We will all be dead if he shows up right now!"

...….

Screaming in despair, they collapsed to the ground one by one. Earlier, they had suffered some really serious injuries when they fought the Bull-Headed Demon. Upon being poisoned by the black Qi, none of them possessed the strength to stand up anymore.

"Xiaobei! Are you okay?!"

The first thing that Luo Puti did was to show her concern to Chen Xiaobei.

"I'm poisoned as well…"

"Where is your fragrant pouch? I thought you possess a fragrant pouch that serves as an antidote?"

The fragrant pouch that she mentioned was Seven Treasury Fragrant Pouch – the one that he used to alleviate her pain.

"This poisonous gas is rather special. It's not an ordinary poison! I wouldn't have been poisoned if the fragrant pouch is working as it should! If I'm not mistaken, this should be the poison that comes from voodoo that carries a curse!"

Curse?

Voodoo?

Everyone fell into a deeper despair when they heard these two words. They had no idea how these two things work together but they could sense that imminent danger was about to befall them.

"Eheheh… I have never expected that a kid like you to know about stuff like this! I would love to spend time talking about voodoo and magical items with you! However, I will not! You destroyed my ten years' worth of blood and sweat! I'm going to cut your flesh piece by piece! Then, I will suck your blood dry and place a curse on your clothes when you die, to make sure that you will be trapped in hell and never get reincarnated!"

A creepy voice could be heard from the end of the Carcass Horde Formation. Seemingly, his real body was not there. The one that exploded earlier was his scapegoat! At the same time, heavy footsteps were approaching them from the shadows.
