Refining Oneself Into A Corpse

County Deputy Li was also enveloped in corpse energy, but he retreated immediately and didn't get contaminated. However, the constables weren't so lucky. They were all invaded by corpse energy, and they collapsed to the ground one after another. Some even turned into half-human, half-corpse creatures in a short time due to the corpse poison attacking their hearts, and they began attacking their companions.

Seeing the scene, County Deputy Li pointed his finger, and the Town Suppression Rod flew out again, shooting towards the direction Chen Xing was fleeing.

The Town Suppression Rod was extremely fast, catching up with Chen Xing almost instantly. It slammed heavily into Chen Xing's back, causing his back to cave in immediately. He was sent flying and crashed to the ground, sliding a good distance across the snow.

Seeing this, County Deputy Li breathed a sigh of relief, because in his opinion, Chen Xing would likely die from this blow.

However, before he could react, Chen Xing stood up without hesitation and fled into the distance again.

County Deputy Li's expression immediately turned ugly when he saw this. He really didn't expect that his attack wouldn't subdue a newly advanced Third-Stage Corpse Dao Spiritualist.

Yes, in his opinion, Chen Xing was just a newly advanced Third-Stage Corpse Dao Spiritualist.

The corpse energy he spewed was a method of using Corpse Dao spiritual treasures.

He looked at the direction Chen Xing was fleeing, and then at the constables who had become inhuman and were tearing each other apart. County Deputy Li decided to solve the problem here first.

Moreover, he felt that Corpse Old Ghost was probably still in that passage and hadn't come out. This person must have been bait released by Corpse Old Ghost.

County Deputy Li formed a hand seal, and a ball of red flames appeared above his head. The flames burned fiercely, and a sharp blade seemed to be hidden inside.

"Go!" County Deputy Li pointed his finger, and the ball of red flames shot out instantly, weaving through the crowd, bringing up splashes of blood.

A moment later, a raging fire broke out here, engulfing the corpses.

"Ah!!!"

"Ah!! Ah ah!!!"

Screams rang out incessantly, but County Deputy Li turned a deaf ear. He looked at the direction Chen Xing had fled, which was towards Black Rock Town.

"Someone is also guarding Black Rock Town. That person is seriously injured and shouldn't choose to flee elsewhere."

"Even if he doesn't go to Black Rock Town, there are other spiritualists searching for traces of Corpse Old Ghost in other places, and they will check any Corpse Dao cultivators they encounter."

"I'll spread the news when I get back. He won't be able to escape."

County Deputy Li's eyes flickered as he thought this.

He believed that Chen Xing was an accomplice of Corpse Old Ghost, pushed out to attract their attention.

Their search for Corpse Old Ghost's traces wouldn't only involve sending County Deputy Li's team. Some people had already crossed Black Rock Town and gone to White Willow Town to intercept Corpse Old Ghost.

The reason County Deputy Li stayed here was because he was more familiar with Black Rock Town, which made it easier to act.

Moreover, because of the Corpse Old Ghost incident, South River County had also begun to suppress Corpse Dao Spiritualists.

"County Deputy Li, he's seriously injured and has also been infected with corpse poison. He's already taken the antidote pill, but it hasn't stopped the spread of the corpse poison. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid..." Lu Chuan didn't finish, and instead set the person down so County Deputy Li could see and confirm what he said was true.

Seeing this, County Deputy Li's expression became extremely heavy. Then, a wisp of red spiritual energy appeared on his fingertip and he touched it to the man's chest.

After a few breaths, County Deputy Li said, "The corpse energy has already penetrated the heart meridian. He's beyond saving."

Then, County Deputy Li continued to channel spiritual power, and the man slowly woke up.

"County Deputy Li..." the man said weakly.

"You probably know your situation. Give me the Trace Flower to help me refine it. I will avenge you," County Deputy Li said expressionlessly.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of tears appeared in the corner of his eyes. He slowly opened his mouth and made a sound: "Okay..."

Then, the man opened his palm, and the Trace Flower slowly emerged in his palm. As if sensing its master's thoughts, the Trace Flower swayed, caressing the spiritualist's fingers.

Then, the spiritualist severed his connection with the Trace Flower. Seeing this, County Deputy Li injected spiritual power into the Trace Flower and began to refine it.

With the help of its former master, the Trace Flower was easily refined by County Deputy Li and stored in his Qi Sea to nurture.

The Trace Flower was specially obtained from the South River County City Treasury to track down Corpse Old Ghost. After his death, it should naturally be returned. As for the other spiritual treasures on his body, the man didn't mention them, obviously wanting to take them with him.

Seeing this, the man sighed slowly: "County Deputy Li, give me a quick death..."

After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing this, County Deputy Li's expression changed, and he slowly raised his trembling palm, with flames burning on it, and slowly imprinted it on the spiritualist's body.

Seeing this, a trace of crystal light also appeared in the corner of Lu Chuan's eyes, but he quickly wiped it away.

In an instant, raging flames erupted on the spiritualist's body, and a foul odor spread from him.

County Deputy Li and Lu Chuan silently moved away from that spot.

Quietly watching the spiritualist struggle in the flames.

"Head Constable Lu, stay here. I'll go take a look inside that cave entrance. That person just now wasn't Corpse Old Ghost," County Deputy Li said.

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly turned ugly: "What?! That wasn't Corpse Old Ghost."

"Then the real Corpse Old Ghost is still in there? Now that there's no one there, wouldn't he have escaped?"

They had put in so much effort to surround and capture the half-crippled Corpse Old Ghost. If he were to escape, they really didn't know what others would say about them.

"Don't worry, he can't escape. The Trace Flower is still here," County Deputy Li said, opening his palm, and a small flower slowly bloomed in his palm.

On one of the flower's petals, a black and red gas slowly floated, indicating the direction.

The direction indicated by the petal was the direction they had come from.

"Could it be that Corpse Old Ghost is still there and hasn't left? What is he doing?" County Deputy Li was a little puzzled, and then he went in that direction without the slightest hesitation.

He came to the front of the grave again, and to the entrance of the passage again.

The petals guided him downward.

"Is he really still inside?" County Deputy Li looked at the dark cave entrance, with some corpse energy that hadn't dissipated around it.

"Go down and take a look." Thinking of this, County Deputy Li no longer hesitated.

He formed a hand seal with one hand, and a ball of flames appeared above his head again, with a blade vaguely visible in the flames.

"Go!" County Deputy Li pointed towards the cave, and the flames shot down instantly.

County Deputy Li followed closely behind.

A moment later, County Deputy Li landed safely, and the flame floated above his head again.

Looking at the Trace Flower in his palm, the petal continued to guide him.

Following the guidance of the Trace Flower, County Deputy Li arrived at the place where Chen Xing had buried Corpse Old Ghost.

Looking at the traces on the ground, County Deputy Li had a faint feeling in his heart that what the Corpse Dao Spiritualist said seemed to be true.

He put away the Trace Flower, waved his hand, and a surge of vast spiritual power gushed out, unearthing a bloody corpse from inside.

County Deputy Li endured his discomfort and stepped forward to check.

After carefully confirming it, and then using the Trace Flower to confirm it again, it was undoubtedly Corpse Old Ghost's corpse.

"Corpse Old Ghost is really dead!"

County Deputy Li couldn't say whether he was happy or not, he felt a little dreamy.

He had been chasing Corpse Old Ghost for so long, but had failed to kill him. Now he had died in this place, which was somewhat ironic for County Deputy Li.

He thought of Chen Xing and thought to himself: "I must catch him."

"This shouldn't be the main battlefield." County Deputy Li looked around.

Then, he investigated here again and finally found the cave, where a fierce battle had obviously taken place.

A moment later, Lu Chuan also came with a group of constables.

"County Deputy Li, what's the situation?" Lu Chuan asked.

"Corpse Old Ghost is dead, but he shouldn't have been the one who killed him. He should have had a helper, and this helper's strength is not bad, at least his cultivation is comparable to mine," County Deputy Li said, stating the results of his analysis.

"I didn't see anyone coming out. Could it be that they left along here?" Lu Chuan looked at the underground dark river, gazing into the distance.

"I don't know," County Deputy Li said.

Lu Chuan came to the front of the cave, looking at the traces of battle inside, and couldn't help but feel a little familiar.

"This, it seems to be the traces left by Chief Constable's Hundred Herb Flying Knives!" Lu Chuan exclaimed.

"What?" County Deputy Li said, coming to Lu Chuan's side.

"These traces are very similar to the traces left by Chief Constable's Hundred Herb Flying Knives," Lu Chuan explained.

"By the way, where exactly did your Chief Constable go? Why haven't we seen him yet?" County Deputy Li asked, looking at Lu Chuan.

"Chief Constable explained before leaving that he expected to be gone for about half a month, he should be back soon," Lu Chuan replied.

"I hope the matter here has nothing to do with Chief Constable Feng, otherwise, he's probably in grave danger," County Deputy Li said.

Then, he left.

Hearing this, Lu Chuan also felt a sense of pressure.

Afterward, they carried Corpse Old Ghost's body out.

There was still corpse energy remaining at the cave entrance, but it was already extremely weak. County Deputy Li hesitated for a moment, and then used the Trace Flower to collect the Yin energy.

Although these traces could only be effective over a very short distance, County Deputy Li felt that he would eventually encounter that Corpse Dao Spiritualist.

After all, South River County was now vigorously suppressing Corpse Dao Spiritualists, and this Corpse Dao Spiritualist might also be related to the disappearance of the Chief Constable of Black Rock Town, which made him have to pay attention.

Then, they left.

Leaving with Corpse Old Ghost's body.
