Refining Oneself Into A Corpse

Chen Xing had already arrived outside Black Stone Town.

He looked at the heavily guarded city gate, then at the collapsed back, and ultimately chose not to enter.

"Now, I'm forced to avoid exposure."

"That person's strength is considerable. I'm definitely not a match for him, and the Black Stone Town's various passages are heavily guarded, making it difficult to leave. I need to think of a plan."

"However, before that, I need to heal the injury on my back first."

Chen Xing thought to himself, then turned and climbed up a desolate mountain.

This mountain had just been cleared and the Black Stone Flowers hadn't been planted yet, so no one was guarding it.

Chen Xing came to a protruding rock and sat down there.

In his Qi Sea, the Corpse Pearl spun around, and streams of Corpse Qi burst out from it, surging towards Chen Xing's back and repairing his injuries.

If this kind of injury were to happen to an ordinary person, even if they didn't die, they would be crippled. Even a Spirit Master would risk death, but for Chen Xing, it was far from that serious.

One reason was that Chen Xing's zombie body had extremely weak pain receptors, so he hardly felt any pain from the injury. Another reason was that Chen Xing's physical body was strong, and this kind of injury could be healed overnight with the nourishment of Corpse Qi.

"Damn it, this time was really too coincidental. I didn't expect to be found there."

"They must have some means of locking onto targets. I wonder if I've already been locked onto by them. I'll stay here and see. If not, then prepare to welcome my revenge."

His current position allowed him to see the south gate entrance of Black Stone Town.

Chen Xing's blue-faced, fanged face, coupled with his current ferocious expression, made him look even more terrifying.

Not long after, a large group of people entered Black Stone Town from the south gate entrance.

County Deputy Li and Lu Chuan returned to the central government office, and then County Deputy Li immediately contacted the other towns around Black Stone Town, describing Chen Xing's general characteristics and asking them to help capture him.

Several figures left Black Stone Town on horseback. Chen Xing had a rough guess about their purpose.

"These people should be going to report the news, to have other places block and capture me, but they probably don't realize that I haven't left Black Stone Town." Chen Xing revealed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at Black Stone Town below, considering how to take revenge on them.

"I definitely can't show myself actively. The person from the county city has at least a Third-Rank Peak cultivation base. I'm not a match for him right now." The more Chen Xing thought, the calmer his expression became.

Chen Xing's body was covered in a layer of white snow. He moved his body, shaking off the snow.

As a zombie, he was no longer afraid of extreme weather conditions like severe cold and heat, and with his strong physique to support him, this kind of weather posed even less of a threat to him.

Chen Xing stood at the top of the mountain, looking towards Black Stone Town.

He saw wisps of smoke rising from it, and some people walking through the streets, a beautiful scene.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind struck, causing Chen Xing's black robe to flutter loudly. At the same time, the sky became even darker.

"Heavy snow is coming, this is an opportunity." Chen Xing raised his head, looking at the dark sky, and slowly spoke.

Then, he went down the mountain and found a place to hide.

He didn't know how long had passed, but the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

"Ah... Ooh..." The city gate guard yawned and wrapped his robe tighter around himself.

"How could anyone come in this kind of weather?" The man said unhappily.

"Well... there's no way around it. I heard that Captain Feng isn't in town right now. County Deputy Li from the county city has been investigating this matter recently, and he's also issued an order prohibiting Corpse Dao Spirit Masters from entering. From what I see, Nanhe County is probably going to be arresting a lot of Corpse Dao Spirit Masters recently." Another person said.

"Corpse Dao Spirit Masters are not righteous in the first place. Arresting them is for the sake of the people of Nanhe County," the man said.

"In my opinion, these Spirit Masters who practice evil ways should all be put on the arrest list. They are all unstable elements," the man continued.

"Hehe, we can't control this kind of thing. Let's just honestly guard the city gate," another guard laughed.

Hearing this, the man stopped talking about it and changed the subject.

They were in the passage of the city wall, and they had to hide here to avoid the sudden strong wind and snow.

Chen Xing stuck to the base of the wall, listening to their words clearly.

"It seems that the impact of Old Ghost Wen Shi's matter is not small, and coupled with the fact that I exposed my identity when I left, I'm afraid that the situation of Corpse Dao Spirit Masters in Nanhe County will be very bad for a while," Chen Xing thought.

"But what does this have to do with me? The ultimate beneficiary is still me. Not only has my cultivation base made a qualitative leap, but I've also obtained the Yin-Nether Three-Colored Lotus, such a top-tier Corpse Dao treasure, and I've also derived the Corpse Pearl, this natal spiritual treasure, in my body when I advanced to the Third Rank."

"Even if I don't have talent, so what? I still embarked on the path of cultivation."

"Since you want to arrest Corpse Dao Spirit Masters, then let me add fuel to the fire."

"Let it be chaotic, the more chaotic the better, the easier it will be for me to leave Nanhe County."

The more Chen Xing thought, the more excited he became.

The wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and the visibility was less than three meters.

Relying on the obstruction of the wind and snow, Chen Xing quietly sneaked into Black Stone Town without attracting anyone's attention.

He was quite familiar with Black Stone Town, after all, he had lived here for quite some time.

He came to the place in the southern city area where residents gathered to fetch water, spat out the Corpse Pearl, and put it into the water.

The Corpse Qi in the Corpse Pearl instantly overflowed, dyeing the water of the entire well pitch black. After a moment, the water returned to normal, but it did have a strange smell, which could only be smelled if you sniffed carefully.

Then, the Corpse Pearl slowly floated to the surface of the water. The original jujube-sized Corpse Pearl had become as small as a mung bean, and all the Corpse Qi in it had been integrated into the water.

Seeing this, Chen Xing fished out the Corpse Pearl and swallowed it into his Qi Sea.

The Corpse Pearl fell into the Qi Sea and slowly landed above the Yin-Nether Three-Colored Lotus. The Yin-Nether Three-Colored Lotus continuously released Yin Qi. At this moment, Chen Xing's Qi Sea was already filled with Yin Qi.

The Corpse Pearl spun around, devouring these Yin Qi and transforming it into Corpse Qi, making up for its consumption.

The Yin-Nether Three-Colored Lotus was constantly emitting Yin Qi, and this Yin Qi was almost solidified in Chen Xing's Qi Sea.

Under the traction of the Corpse Pearl, streams of Yin Qi surged towards the Corpse Pearl, like streams of water appearing in the Qi Sea.

While replenishing the Corpse Pearl's consumption, Chen Xing had already left the water source in the southern city area. He walked along the street, and the sparse pedestrians on the road were only curious as to whether this person was not cold wearing so little? No one came to ask.

They were in a hurry, eager to avoid the sudden blizzard.

Chen Xing came to the residential area of ordinary people in the southern city area, and followed his memory to a courtyard.

Looking at the low courtyard wall, Chen Xing jumped over it and headed towards the tightly closed house.

There were noises coming from inside, obviously there were people inside, and there were quite a few of them.

Chen Xing came to the door and gently pushed it.

"Creak..."

The door was pushed open, and a cold air poured into the house, instantly making the atmosphere in the house quiet.

"Damn it, hurry up and come in and close the door," one person cursed angrily.

"What are you standing there for? The heat in the house is running away in this cold weather," one person turned his head to look at Chen Xing's location.

One person did not speak, quietly watching this scene. His face was flushed, his eyes blurred, obviously he had drunk a lot of wine and was already drunk.

There were three people in the house, all with flushed faces and full of alcohol, they looked at Chen Xing with a trace of doubt.

"Wang Laowu, did you invite someone else? Why are they so late?" One person asked.

"No, it's just the three of us," Wang Laowu said.

"I," Liu Laowu drunkenly pointed at himself.

"Liu Longgang," Wang Laowu drunkenly pointed at the middle-aged man beside him.

"Li Xiaohu," Wang Laowu drunkenly pointed at another middle-aged man.

Then, Wang Laowu drunkenly pointed at Chen Xing and asked, "Then... then... who are you?"

As he spoke, he wanted to stand up, but he couldn't stand up and instead fell to the ground.

Chen Xing closed the door and slowly came closer to the three people.

"Wang Laowu, you should die too." Chen Xing came to Wang Laowu and stepped on his face, slowly applying force under his feet.

"Hey, are you blind? Can't you see me here? Do you know who I am? I'm from the Black Tiger Gang. If you want to seek revenge here, you have to ask me, Liu Longgang, if I agree." Liu Longgang said, stood up, pushed Chen Xing, but instead staggered and sat on the ground.

This made him lose face. After all, Wang Laowu invited him to drink to curry favor with him. He was the protagonist today, but he didn't expect to be upstaged by this suddenly appearing unknown person. This was simply unbearable, and he had to show him some color.

Liu Longgang thought so, cursing in his mouth, while struggling to get up.

"He spit... Crap! You're looking for death, kid."

He staggered towards Chen Xing again.

Seeing this, Li Xiaohu, who was on the side, just wanted to go forward to help him, but he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

They had drunk too much.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..." Wang Laowu shouted.

Chen Xing used more and more force under his feet.

With a "squish" sound, Wang Laowu's head exploded like a broken watermelon, and blood splattered, splashing in front of Liu Longgang.

"You... you... you actually dare to kill someone here, you're done for, I tell you, you're done for." Liu Longgang said, shivering and slumped on a chair.

Chen Xing came to Li Xiaohu and kicked him in the heart. Li Xiaohu's eyes widened and he died.
