Chapter 023

Cheng Hui squeezed Lin Qingyang's hand hard, signaling him not to be distracted, as the enemy was about to arrive.

Lin Qingyang gently shook his hand back to show that he understood, and then quietly threw several red crystals around.

These crystals were exactly what he had killed that... what was that thing called? Never mind, it's not important.

Anyway, he used the red crystal to refine it after killing that man.

At that time, that person was in the late stage of foundation building. Even if he achieved this by taking drugs, his fighting ability was very weak, but his cultivation was real.

The loss of refining blood crystal using red crystal is very high, but the refined blood crystal has no side effects.

Originally, Lin Qingyang planned to feed the blood crystal to Cheng Hui to improve his strength, but later he was told that it was best not to give any elixir to his natal corpse before the first refining.

Although these blood crystals are not elixirs, Lin Qingyang kept them temporarily for safety reasons.

Unexpectedly, this time it had other effects.

The Blood Demon Sect's skills are not only brutal, but also known for their weirdness. In addition to being able to be taken orally, this blood crystal can also serve as the centerpiece of a formation.

Having been prepared in advance, Lin Qingyang was not afraid of the man in green. He was even eager to try. He originally thought that it would take some time before he could take revenge, but he didn't expect that this man would actually take the initiative to bump into him. So he would not be polite.

"Huihui, that flower is so beautiful. Can you help me pick it?" Lin Qingyang said, pointing to a wild flower on the roadside.

Cheng Hui looked at him in surprise, something moved in his mind, he nodded, and staggered towards the wild flowers.

The two refined corpses were already very close, and the faster one was lying in ambush less than ten meters ahead. The flower that Lin Qingyang pointed out was in the opposite direction of him. If Cheng Hui walked towards that side, he could just avoid the attack of the refined corpse.

The man in green saw the actions of the man and the corpse from afar through his own bronze-armored corpse, and couldn't help but sneer.

Children are children. They would actually be attracted by a flower. But it’s better this way. It will be easier to defeat them one by one if we separate them.

The goal of the man in green was to dig out the secret of increasing spiritual intelligence by refining corpses from the child's mouth. Considering how much the child valued the refined corpse, as long as he was caught, there would be no problem in prying open the child's mouth.

He controlled the zombie to approach Cheng Hui, and just when Cheng Hui bent down to pick flowers, it suddenly pounced on him.

Cheng Hui was prepared. He rolled on the ground to avoid his attack and started to attack him instead.

The man in green was a little surprised but not too shocked.

Zombies are relatively slow in movement, and the child's zombie intelligence is intact. Although his body is somewhat out of control, once he takes the initiative, he can fight back and forth with his zombies.

Of course, zombies are one level lower than wandering zombies. Cheng Hui can only hold on for a while at most. It is basically impossible for him to turn defeat into victory.

The man in green still focused on Lin Qingyang. Catching Cheng Hui would certainly save some effort, but even if he couldn't catch him, he had the confidence to get the thing out of Lin Qingyang's mouth.

He controlled the bronze-armored corpse to stand out from its hiding place and rushed towards Lin Qingyang. He expected that the child would show a frightened expression, but he only saw a weird smile on that pretty face.

The man in green was startled, and then his vision turned blood red. He felt as if he had been hit hard, and the connection between him and the bronze-armored corpse was severed.

"Impossible!" The man in green was shocked and angry. He couldn't understand how a child could have the means to forcibly sever the connection between him and the refined corpse.

He almost instinctively wanted to regain control of his refined corpse, but he only felt that the bronze-armored corpse had lost contact with him, and he could not find the location of the bronze-armored corpse at all.

"How could this happen?" The man in green quickly changed his view. Fortunately, the wandering corpse entangled with Cheng Hui was still under control.

He made a hand gesture, wanting to get rid of Cheng Hui as quickly as possible, and then he raised his hand. Suddenly, alarm bells rang in his heart. He dodged and a nimble figure flew past him.

The man in green felt a chill in his heart. As the figure flashed past, a huge cut was made between his ribs. If he had not dodged quickly, he might have been ripped open by now.

"You...!!" The man in green looked at the figure, and was then shocked to find that the person who almost took half his life was actually the eight-year-old boy.

"This is impossible!" the man in green exclaimed.

Lin Qingyang curled up the corners of his mouth strangely, his fingers were covered with a layer of blood, and the nails of his five fingers were twisted together to form a sharp dagger.

The tip of the dagger was pitch black, and just looking at it made the man in green feel dizzy... Wait, this dizziness was actually real?

He suddenly lowered his head, and sure enough, the blood at the cut had turned black, and there was a strong poison on Lin Qingyang's nails.

"How dare you!" The man in green was shocked and angry. He never expected that Lin Qingyang, whom he originally regarded as a stepping stone to advancement, would actually turn around and almost take his life.

The strength of the Puppet Faction is concentrated in their refined corpses. Once they lose their refined corpses, their strength will plummet.

Originally, the man in green shouldn't be in such a bad situation, but his most powerful bronze-armored corpse was entangled by Lin Qingyang's formation, and the other wandering corpse was still dealing with Cheng Hui. He himself was stabbed and poisoned, and was almost in a desperate situation.

"Good boy! I really underestimated you! Do you think you can kill me like this? You're dreaming!" The man in green laughed instead of getting angry, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Lin Qingyang suddenly revealed a brilliant smile, and said innocently, "Senior Brother, you'd better not move. The poison of Qibudao is very strong. If you move a few more times, you might die."

The man in green didn't dare to act rashly for a moment. He sneered, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "Boy, you'd better hand over the antidote, and I can leave you a whole body."

Lin Qingyang tilted his head and looked at him like a fool: "Since you are going to kill me whether I give you the antidote or not, why should I give it to you?"

Man in Green: ...

"You...are you crazy? We are from the same sect. Fighting against each other is a taboo. Aren't you afraid of being expelled from the sect?" The man in green was a little panicked and habitually said harsh words.

Lin Qingyang tapped his chin with his slender fingers, as if he was thinking.

The man in green thought he was scared and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, "Fool, who cares about fellow disciples at the critical moment of life and death? Wait until he takes over the poison in his body, then he will break this kid's limbs and take him back." He looked at Lin Qingyang viciously, "You made me so badly injured, I will make you pay the price!"

"Boy, you'd better hand over the antidote quickly and don't do anything that you will regret." The man in green said this, but in fact he was also using his internal energy to force out the poison.

The poison this kid used was indeed very powerful, but as long as he continued to use his power, he wouldn't die for a while. Once he could control the poison, he would go and capture the kid. I think the antidote should be with him.

"Oh, I still don't want to give you the antidote. You look so fierce. You will definitely take revenge on me in the future, right?" Lin Qingyang looked distressed.

The man in green hated her secretly, but he said, "How could that be? After all, we are from the same sect. As long as you hand over the antidote, I promise not to cause you any trouble."

Lin Qingyang looked at him steadily for a while, and just when the man in green thought he was about to agree, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha... You don't really think I will give the antidote to you? You are so old, please don't be so naive!" At the end, his face was full of disgust.

"Damn it, you're kidding me!" How could the man in green not know that he had been deceived at this time? He couldn't help but curse at him.

Lin Qingyang was not angry: "Do you think I don't know you are stalling for time? Then guess why I am so cooperative with you?"

The man in green was suddenly startled and had a bad premonition.

Lin Qingyang told him with a smile: "Because this poison is called fireworks, it is like a firework. It will only explode when it rises to the highest point. And now... the poison has penetrated deep into your internal organs. Soon we will see..."

Bang!

The man in green exploded like a firework, and the flying flesh sparkled with colorful brilliance. The venom that originally emitted a fishy smell turned into a rich floral fragrance after the firework exploded. If the ground was not covered with broken limbs, no one would have thought that someone had died miserably here.

Lin Qingyang watched the blood on the ground gradually disintegrate and disappear, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Fireworks... after the brilliance, there is nothing left."

The man in green was gone just like that. His limbs and flesh crumbled into ashes under the effect of the venom and disappeared without a trace when blown away by the wind.

Cheng Hui, who was struggling with the zombies over there, suddenly felt relieved. The zombies, which were originally very strong and difficult to deal with, began to move slowly, and even stopped moving at the end.

Cheng Hui:?

He pushed the zombie away from himself and climbed up from the ground. The zombie still did not react at all, and even its already pale face gradually became stained with a layer of death.

Cheng Hui: ...Does this count as dying again?

He looked up in the direction where the sound had come from. The woods were a bit dense and he couldn't see clearly. He wanted to use his spiritual sense, but suddenly he felt a splitting headache. He realized that this was because he had overused his spiritual sense and it was temporarily unusable.

He simply staggered over and smelled a strange fragrance before he got close. The fragrance was very strong, not bad, but Cheng Hui instinctively hated it.

Soon, the fragrance disappeared, as if it had never been there.

"How……"

Lin Qingyang understood Cheng Hui's question and smiled: "It's solved. Wait here for me, I will take care of the follow-up matters."

Cheng Hui nodded. He did not ask where the man in green had gone, nor did he blame Lin Qingyang for killing people.

He is not a child, and the world is not black and white. The other party wants your life, so do you still want to keep him for the New Year?

Kill when necessary. Killing to stop killing is also a way.

Cheng Hui pressed his forehead and felt that something seemed wrong with him.

Isn't he too open-minded about killing people?

I always feel that my changes are a bit abrupt... as if I was offline for a long time.
