The six hundredth step, he…he hasn't slowed down…""Seven hundred steps... Why do I feel like he's not feeling any pressure at all!""Eight hundred steps...""Nine… Nine hundred!"Waves of gasps and excla...Yún Hào and Zhú Pǐn returned to the inn where they were temporarily staying.

In the guest room.

Zhu Pin whispered, "Young Master, seven reckless men, six killed and one left alive, how is that"

Yun Hao nodded.

Suddenly, Zhu Pin disappeared from the guest room in a flash.

He had already grasped the true meaning of integrating with an array, although he hadn't ascended to the higher ranks of the Earth Realm, even ordinary Dharma Appearance Realm warriors were no match for Zhu Pin.

At the foot of the Monument to Hearing the Dao, Zhu Pin made a killing move. However, his skill in concealing himself was so masterful that no one knew how truly powerful he was.

If one's abilities are exposed during the day.

The creature that appeared tonight, of course, wouldn't be so easily dealt with.

A moment later.

Zhu Pin's figure flashed, carrying a half-dead creature, back to the guest room.

"Bang!"

Zhu Pin threw the man to the ground, his powerful aura erupting as he coldly roared, "Say, who sent you here!"

The people on the ground, frightened by the might of the jade item, trembled all over and immediately reported: "It was Liu Ping..."

"Who is Liu Ping" Zhu Pin continued to ask.

"Liu Ping is the leader of a gang in Tianbao City. He approached us and asked us to kill the Red Dust Swordsman. He was very generous and straightforward, offering a large sum of benefits to anyone willing to take on the job, and promised an even more astonishing reward after its completion!"

Zhu Pin looked at Yun Hao, he saw the meaning in Yun Hao's expression, and immediately let out a cold snort, slapping the person to death!

Zhu Pin is a seasoned veteran. He frowned and said, "The gang leader and the young master have no grudge against each other. Obviously, that fellow named Liu Ping was just pushed out as a scapegoat."

"Master, I'll immediately contact my old friends in Tianbao City and ask them for help. I'll get Liu Ping out as quickly as possible so he won't be killed to silence him!"

But just then.

A special glint flashed in Yun Hao's eyes.

In his spiritual perception, a very strange and evil aura fluctuated nearby.

This fluctuation possesses extraordinary stealth. Had it not been for Yun Hao's absorption of the white light imbued with ancestral markings within the Wen Dao Pavilion today, resulting in a surge in spiritual power, it would have remained undetectable.

As a mid-level peak formation master, Zhu Pin, was completely unaware of any trace, which shows how well the sinister and eerie aura fluctuation was concealed!

"Young Master, what's wrong" Zhu captured Yun Hao's expression change with her keen senses.

Yun Hao: "The strange force of Tianbao City has arrived."

………

In a dark alley near the inn.

A figure, curled up in the corner of an alley, clutched the body of a recently slain outlaw in their hands.

"Glug glug!"

"Glug glug!"

The sound of swallowing, in this darkness, seemed eerie and terrifying.

A few breaths' time.

The corpse, just slain by Zhu Pin, instantly transformed into a withered husk!

After drinking the blood of a corpse.

The shadowy figure huddled in the corner, tossed the corpse aside, and then stood up.

There is also some bloodiness around here.

Ready to keep on feasting!

Just as the shadow in the corner rose, suddenly, two figures descended from the sky, blocking both ends of the alley.

Zhu Pin gently plucked a string.

A burst of spiritual patterns exploded, transforming into a fireball that illuminated the dark alley completely.

The flames illuminated the shadowy figure.

Even Zhu Pin, who had seen and known much, gasped in surprise at that moment.

This is a disheveled person.

But, this person's body was covered in fine scales.

Even more terrifying, tendrils shot out from multiple points on his body. Each one ended in a twisted, grotesque face, one of which was the exact likeness of the corpse he had just drained of life.

Three elements.

One, lurking in the darkness.

II. Scales.

III. Sucking fresh blood.

Evidently, all of this corresponds to the strange forces that had a detrimental effect in Tianbao City.

The eerie figure was apparently also quite shocked.

Even the Su family, who built Tianbao City, could never find him.

I didn't expect to be found today.

"Stay out of my affairs, I don't kill innocent people. Those who die at my hands are all wicked criminals who deserve their fate. Now get lost!"

He said that.

This eerie figure, in an instant, leaped into the air, trying to escape.

Zhu Pin saw this, his figure flashed, and he immediately chased up to the side of the strange figure, striking out with a palm.

In the palm of his hand, the light of the spirit veins bloomed, churning and gathering the energy of heaven and earth. With a roar, he sent that eerie figure crashing to the ground.

Then, Zhu Pin swooped down, intending to suppress the eerie figure.

"You forced my hand!"

A sinister figure let out a low growl, and then his body exploded violently.

A burst of blood light, instantly spreading out.

Although Zhu Pin reacted quickly and realized that the blood light was problematic, he was still inevitably tainted by a ray of blood light on his palm.

In his hand, the spiritual veins erupted, power surging, dispelling the blood light swirling around his grasp. Then, in a flash,

The station master arrived before Yun Hao and said, "Master, he exploded too quickly, we couldn't stop him."

Yunhao remained silent, his gaze fixed on Zhu Pin's palm, which was still stained with blood from the recent clash.

Zhu Pin also unconsciously lowered his head to look.

Suddenly, Zhu Pin panicked!

His palm, at this moment, also began to show some sparse, fine scales, exactly the same as the scales on the strange figure from before!

Although Zhu Ping just dispelled the bloodlight from his hand in the first instance, he was still inevitably tainted by the power contained within it.

These tiny scales are constantly emerging from beneath the skin.

More and more.

In a few blinks, it completely covered Zhu Pin's entire palm, and then began to spread along Zhu Pin's arm.

No matter how Zhu Pin stimulated his qi and blood, his primordial energy, or the spirit pattern formations integrated into his body, he couldn't stop the scales from growing and spreading.

Zhu Pin let out a low growl, immediately gathering his strength, about to sever his own arm.

If an arm is lost, it can be regrown through the power of transcendence.

Ke Yao's body might be covered by these strange scales. Just thinking about the eerie appearance of that figure earlier, Zhu Pin felt a shiver down his spine.

He certainly doesn't want to become that kind of spooky apparition!

Just as Zhu Pin was about to cut off his arm.

Yun Hao finally spoke: "Even if you cut off my arm, it won't help,"

The power of calamity, upon touching your palm, instantly seeps into the very essence of your life.

Zhu Pin: …

He was stunned for a moment, his panicked eyes fixed on Yun Hao, with the only glimmer of hope shining through. "Young master, the power of disaster Is this the power emanating from the Disaster Source Stone"

Yun Hao nodded and said, "Moreover, it's not an ordinary disaster force. This kind of disaster is very terrifying, belonging to the top level of disasters. Once hit by this disaster, a person's life source will become alien,"

Reason will gradually be lost.

While they were talking.

Yun Hao's eyes flashed, his sword intent transformed into sword energy, shooting out from within him. Whoosh whoosh whoosh, several strands of sword energy vanished into Zhu Pin's body.

The scales that had finally reached Zhu Pin's shoulder, stopped.

"Your problem isn't severe, it's just a secondary disaster contamination. There's still hope. Go back to the inn first, and remember, don't break through the sword energy I left in your body. I need to find the source of the contamination before I can save you!"

"Master, do you know where the source of this disaster's pollution lies"

Yun Hao: "That strange Calamity body from earlier was just a clone created by the source of pollution."

Although the avatar has self-destructed, its aura hasn't completely dissipated in a short period of time. By relying on this wisp of aura, we can locate the source of the Calamity Contamination!group of people walked away.His son, Qi Ying, stepped forward and whispered, "Father, did we...do something wrong"Qi Shi remained silent for a long time.Have I made a mistakeQi Jia only wants to prote...
