Refining Oneself Into A Corpse

Qi Town.

Ferry.

A man stood on a high platform, arms crossed. He wore a black spiritualist robe that accentuated his slender figure. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he attracted the secret admiration of many young women.

He was none other than Gao Feiji, the chief constable of Qi Town.

Suddenly, he widened his eyes. A white willow boat was speeding towards them on the river surface in the distance.

"Three li…"

"Two li…"

The white willow boat was getting closer and closer, showing no signs of slowing down.

"There's only one person on board. It seems the others have already met with misfortune. This person should be the culprit," Gao Feiji speculated.

Then, he looked at the crowd below and instructed, "Prepare for battle. Our opponent is here."

Gao Feiji didn't underestimate Chen Xing in the slightest. After all, anyone who could cause such a big disturbance and escape unscathed was definitely not simple.

"One li…"

"One hundred zhang…"

The distance was getting closer and closer, but Chen Xing still showed no signs of stopping.

At this moment, Chen Xing took out a few more spirit stones and threw them into the spirit gathering array.

The instant the spirit stones entered the spirit gathering array, they were devoured completely. The spirit gathering array shook violently, as if it was on the verge of collapse.

At the same time, Chen Xing continuously injected corpse energy into it to stabilize the spirit gathering array, and the spirit gathering array became more and more tainted.

"Fifty zhang…"

"Twenty zhang…"

Just when he was about twenty zhang away from the shore, Chen Xing suddenly moved. He jumped to the stern of the boat, and his body sank abruptly, causing the bow of the boat to rise high.

At the moment the bow rose, the spirit stones that Chen Xing had just thrown in had already been converted into spiritual energy, dispersing throughout the hull and then reaching the stern.

An extremely strong thrust came from behind. Chen Xing quickly adjusted the angle, and the entire hull actually flew up.

Sensing the boat taking off, Chen Xing took out all the remaining spirit stones and threw them into the spirit gathering array.

The white willow boat suddenly soared into the sky.

The white willow boat was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived above the ferry. Chen Xing stood at the bow, looking at the dumbfounded crowd below, and couldn't help but feel cheerful.

"Hahaha, hahaha, come and chase me if you have the guts!" Chen Xing looked at the crowd below and laughed loudly.

Chen Xing's unrestrained laughter echoed in the air, lingering for a long time.

Gao Feiji stared blankly as the white willow boat flew over his head, not knowing what to do for a moment.

He roared inwardly, "What the hell is going on!?????"

"No one told me the white willow boat could fly!!!!!"

In the end, the white willow boat flew over the ferry.

At this moment, Gao Feiji came back to his senses and ordered the constables below, "Chase!"

After speaking, he leaped off the high platform, spiritual energy surged under his feet, and he took the lead in rushing towards the direction Chen Xing left.

A group of constables followed closely behind.

After flying two or three li past the ferry, the white willow boat gradually slowed down and then fell towards the ground.

Chen Xing lay on the bow, controlling the direction of the white willow boat. When he was about three zhang away from the ground, he suddenly stood up, stomped on the white willow boat, and his whole person shot forward like a roc spreading its wings, flying a long distance before landing on the ground.

Chen Xing landed in a residential area. Without stopping, he charged straight through it, and some civilians who blocked his way were knocked flying, twitching twice on the ground before falling silent.

Based on his speculation, Gao Feiji should have transferred most of the Qi Town constables to the ferry to surround him. The city gate defense should only be at its usual level now. He had to leave here in a short time.

This way, after he left, no matter which direction he went, the risk of exposure would be greatly reduced.

Chen Xing stomped on the ground, instantly covering a distance of about six zhang. He charged straight down a main road in Qi Town and had already seen the city gate not far away.

At this moment, the city gate constables, seeing this scene, were all frightened out of their wits. They warned Chen Xing while trying to close the city gate.

"Get out of the way!" Seeing this, Chen Xing suddenly shouted, and the corpse pearl instantly flew out of his mouth.

The corpse pearl was extremely fast, and after a few breaths, it arrived in front of the city gate. Then, a corpse energy poisonous mist suddenly erupted from it, shrouding the city gate.

"Ah, ah, ah!!!!!"

Cries of agony immediately came from inside, and at this moment, Chen Xing also arrived at the city gate.

He looked back and saw that there were no pursuers chasing him.

"Hehe, you can all enjoy the gift I prepared for you." After Chen Xing finished speaking, he walked into the corpse energy poisonous mist, opened his mouth and sucked the corpse pearl back in, and then opened the city gate and left.

After Chen Xing had walked for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the corpse energy gradually dissipated, and zombies covered in white fluff rushed out from inside, rushing into the crowd watching the commotion.

At this moment, at the place where the white willow boat had fallen, a group of constables had already surrounded the white willow boat.

Gao Feiji stood at the front of the constables. He pinched a hand seal, and a ball of flame slowly floated above him. A hiltless flying knife was quietly suspended in the flame, a spiritual treasure—the Flame Knife.

Then, he changed the hand seal again, and a brown hilt slowly appeared on the flying knife. A ring tail lightly swayed behind the hilt, a spiritual treasure—the Brown Wood Fan.

Then, he changed the hand seal again, and rings appeared on the back of the knife. Counting them, there were six in total. The flame on the knife became even more intense, a spiritual treasure—the Golden Iron Rings.

The three spiritual treasures formed a killer move—the Flame Great Ring Knife.

"You few, go turn the boat over," Gao Feiji instructed the constables next to him.

"Yes!" The constables replied upon hearing this.

Then, they came to the white willow boat, exchanged glances, and then put their hands under the hull.

"Lift!" A constable shouted loudly.

The constables worked together to overturn the white willow boat.

At the moment the white willow boat was overturned, the constables suddenly retreated violently and came to Gao Feiji's side.

Gao Feiji looked at the few crooked corpses under the boat and did not find Chen Xing's trail.

"Has he already escaped?" For some reason, Gao Feiji actually felt a little relieved.

At this moment, the few corpses under the white willow boat suddenly grew white hair all over their bodies and then stood up straight.

"Zombies! They're zombies!" A constable shouted loudly.

"Everyone, be careful!" The constables had already prepared for battle.

Seeing this, Gao Feiji snorted coldly, then took a step forward and shouted loudly, "Hmph! Just a few white-haired zombies, and you're all scared like this. You're really disgracing the constables of my Qi Town."

Immediately, he pointed a finger, and the Flame Great Ring Knife instantly shot towards the zombies.

The Flame Great Ring Knife slashed down, instantly cutting the zombies in half. The raging flames burned on their bodies, turning them into charred corpses in an instant.

"That person must have fled towards the city gate, go! Continue the pursuit with me," Gao Feiji had just finished speaking when a constable came to report.

"Report, Chief Constable, the city gate was suddenly attacked and has already been suppressed."

"But…"

The constable looked at Gao Feiji's unsightly expression, not knowing whether he should continue speaking.

"But what? Speak!" Gao Feiji said angrily.

"Many civilians have died as a result, and several constables have also been lost."

"Several constables have turned into zombies and have already been suppressed."

The more the constable spoke, the more unsightly Gao Feiji's expression became.

He, a dignified third-stage peak spiritualist, and also mastered the killer move—the Flame Great Ring Knife, and was also the chief constable of Qi Town, had actually been made to look like this by a corpse path spiritualist whose face he had never even seen and whose strength was inferior to his own.

In his own territory, he had suffered heavy losses without even fighting. The more he thought about it, the more unsightly Gao Feiji's face became.

After the constable finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Gao Feiji's expression.

After a moment, Gao Feiji took a heavy breath.

"Huff—"

Then he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Strengthen the defenses in the town. Anyone who encounters a corpse path spiritualist should be detained first."

"Yes." The constables replied.

"Chief Constable, are we still chasing?" A young constable looked at Gao Feiji and asked.

As soon as he said this, the old constable next to him tugged at his sleeve.

Gao Feiji glanced at the constable, then glanced at the old constable next to him, and did not answer him, but turned and left, leaving a group of constables to clean up the battlefield.

"You, ah, you." The old constable pointed at the young constable, but in the end, he didn't say much.

"If we're not chasing, then we're not chasing. This time, that corpse path spiritualist got away. If I encounter him next time, I'll definitely make him kneel down and beg for mercy." The young constable fantasized, and couldn't help but chuckle.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

During this time, Chen Xing tried to avoid traveling during the day. He always traveled at night, relying on his eyes that could see in the dark as if it were daylight, he could always avoid capture in time.

This night, Chen Xing hid in a large tree. Not far in front of him, a team of people passed by.

"These days, I've seen a lot of corpse path spiritualists being arrested. It seems that the Great Wu Dynasty has already learned about what happened in Black Stone Town." Chen Xing thought to himself. Only after the team of people disappeared did he gently jump down from the tree and continue rushing forward.

The sky gradually brightened, and Chen Xing walked on a road. There were many people of all kinds on the road who had the same destination as him, the last town in the Northern River County—Shoubian Town.

"After passing this town, it will be considered a complete departure from the Great Wu Dynasty. At that time, those pursuers will not dare to be too presumptuous." Chen Xing wore a tattered black robe and a tattered bamboo hat on his head, barely covering his face, and followed behind a group of people.

There were quite a few people dressed like him. This was the exclusive attire of a demon hunter.
