Chapter 44: Two-Headed Demonic Beasts
to help.Even the last vestiges of the Iron Sand Palm Technique, perhaps it would be better left unused.However.Even Shen Changqing couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't engage in hand-to-hand combat wit...'Hong Cheng' moved as fast as a ghost, his right arm twisted severely but it didn't seem to affect him much.
Bang—
The two figures clashed in the open space, their movements so swift that onlookers couldn't even make out what was happening.
Only a biting cold, mixed with rolling heat waves.
Boom!!
The long knife slashed out, but was dodged by 'Hong Cheng'. Seizing this opportunity, Shen Changqing struck with his other hand, using the force of an opening a tombstone or splitting stone, and pressed it onto the opponent.
Iron Sand Palm!
His palm was burning red, like a hot iron brand imprinted on 'Hong Cheng'. Immediately, the smell of burning came out.
“Oh!”
A shrill scream pierced the air as 'Hong Cheng' was sent flying through the air by a blow.

It was at that very moment.
Behind him, dark energy surged, an icy touch came upon him, accompanied by a wave of pain.
Even if the thirteen Taibao, who had trained for fifteen levels, were to be forced into a defensive position, their internal energy would erupt from within their bodies, blocking the attack.
Take this opportunity.
Shen Changqing's long blade flashed from under his armpit, the burning edge seeming like fire and ice colliding, emitting a sizzling sound.
"Ah—"
Another shrill scream rang out.
Shen Changqing drew his sword and turned back, retreating to the entrance of the prison cell before he had a chance to see clearly what had attacked him.
A grotesque figure with matted hair and a rotting face, identical to the female corpse he saw in the ruined temple's phantom realm.
But it's different.
This bizarre creature has lost its left arm, with only its right arm remaining intact.
It is obvious.
This is the original ghost monster that attacked first, but was injured by its own attack.
"They're all out!"
Shen Changqing took a deep breath, his eyes scanning back and forth between the two strange figures. Their bloody, mangled backs were slowly healing.
> Strange, equal levels of depth and severity.
Then the severed-arm phantom must have been taking orders from the vengeful spirit that had possessed Hong Cheng.
From the current situation, it seems that the Everlife Alliance has indeed only sent out two strange creatures.
“Two bizarre heads, one Ghostly level and one Wrathful level, the Eternal Alliance does indeed see me highly!”
Shen Changqing sneered, the next instant his body was like a離弦之箭, directly shooting out, attacking the ghostly monster.
Pick the soft persimmons.
>
Of the two monstrous creatures, the best to kill is the wounded Ghoulish one.
Just as Shen Changqing attacked, the female corpse seemed to sense the danger. Its body dispersed like smoke, as if it had never appeared at all.
>
This is it.
He maxed out his senses.
Here!
With a single step to the left, he lunged forward, his long blade flashing like a shadow. Where there was nothing but empty air moments before, the corpse of a woman materialized upon the impact of the blade.
Facing Shen Changqing's full-strength strike, and under the crushing weight of absolute power, the yin energy on the female corpse flickered like a candle in the wind, threatening to vanish at any moment.
At the same time.
As the female corpse was about to be executed, 'Hong Cheng' approached with a ghostly presence, attacking Shen Changqing from behind.
A vengeful and eerie ghost makes a move.
The
negative energy is overwhelming.
At that moment, a wave of coldness washed over his entire body. However, Shen Changqing's expression did not show fear but rather a sinister smile.
"I've been waiting for you!"
The blade aimed at the female corpse suddenly retracted. Shen Changqing's body shifted sideways, and the whole person fell backward, bumping into 'Hong Cheng' head-on. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even when the Thirteen Protectors were still diligently practicing their martial arts, he had already achieved the state where his chi could move freely at will.
His back hit something.
Is no weaker than the power of a straight-on inscription to split stone.
'Hong Cheng' was caught off guard and directly hit, his breastbone caved in. He stumbled backward several times.
One strike, success.
Shen Changqing turned with a twist, his long sword howling as it slashed out, aiming directly at Hong Cheng's neck.
>
The long blade flashed, and a head the size of a fighting drum flew up.
Blood spurted from the wound.
A white shadow emerged from the corpse, moving with lightning speed towards the distance.
"Don't want to leave!"
Shen Changqing roared in anger, stomping his right foot down on the ground. The bluestone bricks shattered instantly, and his body used this momentum to soar into the air, his long sword slashing fiercely towards the white figure.
>
Rip—
Oh!!
The sound of tattered cloth ripping, accompanied by a piercing, desperate scream, the white figure was cleaved in two by the long blade.

Shen Changqing landed.
When I looked back at the female corpse, she was gone.
The scene.
Suddenly, silence fell.
Only Hong Chen's dismembered corpse lay there quietly, blood staining the ground.
"Two-headed demons!"
>
Shen Changqing looked at Hong Cheng's corpse, his face turning gloomy. There was no joy in slaying the strange creature whatsoever.
The Eternal Alliance sent two demonic beasts over.
One head aims to rescue the Zhao family, while the other seeks to assassinate others within the yamen.
>
Therefore, it can be seen.
>
The other party's purpose is not simply to break out of jail, but to kill everyone in the yamen as revenge for the bizarre murders that took place in Gyuet Village.
It can be understood clearly.
That grudge-bearing monster was coming straight for him, Shen Changqing.
Standing still.
Shen Changqing silently recovered from the consumption of the just-ended battle.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly short duration of the battle, for every breath is potentially lethal, and the toll it takes is immense.
In the dantian, pure yang energy had already been consumed by half.
>
The battle was so fierce that no one from the government came to investigate. Coupled with the commotion in other parts of the yamen earlier, either everyone had been killed or the survivors were hiding somewhere else, too afraid to show themselves.
But no matter what the outcome, Shen Changqing’s heart wasn't too shaken.
For a long time.
There was a slight sound.
Shen Changqing turned his head and saw a sneaky figure.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Being far apart, he couldn't make out her features at first.
"Who's out there!"
"But, but, Shen...Shen sir!"
A trembling voice echoed through the silent night, yet the figure dared not approach.
Shi Qing-sheng
Just by hearing the voice, Shen Changqing immediately knew who it was.
"It was me!"
>Received a positive reply.
Only then did the figure dare to approach tremblingly. When it got closer, it was revealed to be Shi Qingsheng's face.
Unlike before, the other party was now panicked. Especially when they saw Hong Cheng lying on the ground, his body separated, his face turned pale with fright.
"Big, Sir, Hong, Hong the Head Hunter this is—"
Shi Qingsheng's fingers trembled, and his speech was stammered, especially when he saw Shen Changqing standing with a bloody knife in his hand. His heart pounded wildly.
The long sword returned to its scabbard.
Shen Changqing calmly spoke, "There was a demonic attack on the government office. Hong Cheng was possessed and killed by me. How is the situation in other places now"
From the moment he was possessed by a demonic entity, Hong became as good as dead.
Regardless of whether the demons will leave Hong Cheng's body later, the other party is destined to have no way out.
>
On the contrary, it was Shi Qingsheng.
A clerk who is powerless and defenseless, could actually live to this day, which also surprised him.
Upon hearing this.
Shi Qingsheng forcibly calmed himself down, but looking at Hong Cheng's corpse, he still swallowed. “Qi, report to my lord, I was originally sleeping. After hearing the commotion, I immediately rushed to the area where the yamen servants lived.”
Unfortunately, by the time I arrived, several of them had become corpses.
Later, I heard some movement here, so I rushed over to take a look. Unexpectedly, you just killed the demon.
As for this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Shen Changqing understood.
Given Shi Qingsheng's personality, he would definitely not be the first to hear the commotion and rush over. It's highly likely that he would wait until everything had completely quieted down before daring to go and check.
As for why the other party didn't die, it can only be said that he was lucky and the demon hadn't found his head yet.
After killing several yamen officers, he possessed Hong Cheng.
When the malevolent spirit learned of its failed jailbreak attempt, it immediately rushed to help and temporarily spared Shi Qingxing.
"The demons have been slain by me. There won't be any major moves in the short term. Have someone come over immediately to dispose of the bodies of Hong Cheng and the others. Don't forget to give out their due condolences."
Just leave the rest to me.
Shen Changqing issued the order.
Upon seeing this, Shi Qingsheng also nodded: "This subordinate obeys!"
Only when he had left did Shen Changqing settle his mind and glance at his own panel.
Slaying a formidable vengeful spirit would certainly yield considerable rewards.
The monsters in Gu Yue Village, even those that weren't vengeful spirits, had contributed fifteen points of killing value each. It was impossible for the monster possessing Hong Cheng to be any worse.
As expected.
The kill count on the panel, which was previously at two points, suddenly surged to thirty-two.
Apart from its own original two points, that cursed monster directly contributed thirty points of kill value.
"Thirty-two points of killing value, it can improve my strength a lot!"
Shen Changqing nodded in satisfaction, it was the only good news of the night.
“The Everlasting Alliance just sent two demonic beasts, I killed one and the other escaped. My strength must have been exposed. Although the Everlasting Alliance probably won't make any moves in the short term, anything could happen unexpectedly.”
To ensure foolproof success, improving one's abilities is crucial.

Make a decision.
Shen Changqing's thoughts had already fallen on the Heaven Martial Qi.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
With the high-level Tianwu Gang Qi, there is no need to increase the Pure Yang Gong.
A thought moved.
Killing value consumed four points, Heavenly Martial Qi was directly raised to the fourth layer.
The four layers of Heavenly Martial Qi, the true qi in the dantian has increased in quality considerably. The qi and blood have suffered some loss, but it is within an acceptable range.
Can bear —
Then keep improving!
At once.
Under Shen Changqing's thoughts, Tianwu Gangqi began to steadily increase.
Fifth Layer of Heavenly Martial Qi!
Sixth layer.
The seventh layer.
When the Heavenly Martial Energy reached the eighth level, a powerful transformation occurred in the dantian. The Heavenly Martial True Qi seemed to become solid and much stronger.

Next.
It was a sudden intense feeling of weakness that surged over Shen Changqing, causing his face to blanch.
"That's the limit!"
He was no stranger to this state.
That was an excessive increase, leading to depletion of Qi and blood.
That is to say.
Tianwu Gangqi can only be temporarily increased to the eighth level. The rest will have to wait until the body recovers before proceeding to the next round of enhancement.
But even so.

Reaching the eighth layer of Tianwu Gangqi also allows a martial artist to officially enter the innate realm.
