Chapter 324: Secret Weapon

"Roar!"

The monster saw Chen Hao.

Because its fresh blood had been sucked by the fishnet stockings, the monster's skin was now wrinkled and shriveled, much like an old woman's.

Upon seeing Chen Hao, it let out a hiss.

It opened its blood-red maw and lunged toward Chen Hao.

It intended to swallow Chen Hao in one gulp.

Seeing this, Chen Hao flipped his hand, and the Purple Lightning Frost Sword appeared in his grasp.

Chen Hao swung the longsword fiercely.

A sharp sword Qi tore through the air.

Swish!

The sharp sword Qi sliced through the monster's body without the slightest resistance, finally striking a house behind it.

The house was cut clean in two.

Boom!

The house collapsed, instantly kicking up a cloud of dust.

Thud!

The monster's body fell to the ground.

Its head and body were separated, and blood instantly pooled everywhere.

Seeing this, Chen Hao condensed a fireball in his right hand and threw it at the blood.

Boom!

The scorching fireball landed on the monster's body, instantly setting it ablaze.

Crackle, crackle!

The flames burned violently, emitting a harsh, piercing sound.

Before long, the entire monster had been burned to charcoal by Chen Hao.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew, and the charcoal instantly scattered into the sky.

"Ding-dong!"

"Congratulations to the host, corpse collection successful!"

"Obtained SS-rank ability — [Diamond Iron Bones]!"

Hearing the system's notification, Chen Hao felt a surge of joy.

"So it can be done this way."

"Not bad, not bad!"

Chen Hao discovered that after obtaining this ability, his body had undergone a noticeable change.

He subconsciously knocked his hands together.

Clang! Clang!

Two metallic clashing sounds rang out.

"With this body of mine, anyone who didn't know better would think I'd cultivated the Indestructible Diamond Art."

After dealing with the monster, Chen Hao headed toward the Scorpion Brigade's base.

By this time, the battle had already ended.

Members of the Ability Bureau were cleaning up the battlefield.

They needed to rescue the wounded while moving the enemy corpses to the side.

Many people had died this time, and the air nearby was filled with piles of corpses.

With those mountain-like piles of bodies, someone unaware might think they were building a monument of skulls.

"Sister Bai Jie."

Chen Hao found Bai Jie, who was directing the crowd.

"Xiao Hao, you're back."

Bai Jie had learned that Chen Hao was being pursued by the monster.

However, she hadn't gone to provide support because she knew Chen Hao would definitely be able to handle it.

For no other reason than that he was Chen Hao.

Chen Hao's arrival surprised everyone on the scene.

"My god, Chen Hao actually came back."

"Looking at him, he doesn't seem to be injured."

"His strength is just too terrifying; I saw that monster from far away."

"That terrifying pressure made it impossible for me to even think of resisting."

"He actually solved that guy and returned safely."

"Sigh, this is our Chen Hao!"

One guy let out a bitter smile.

His partner, hearing this, couldn't help but smack him on the back of the head.

"You guy, what are you sighing for!"

"Chen Hao has returned, we should be happy."

"Besides, he's strong, so we have face when we go out."

"In the future, we can tell others: 'Do you know Chen Hao? That's my buddy, we worked together.'"

"Right, right, right, you're the thoughtful one."

Hearing this, the way everyone looked at Chen Hao changed.

They were proud of Chen Hao.

Chen Hao and Bai Jie did not leave.

They waited right there on the spot.

From time to time, Chen Hao and Bai Jie would go to treat those who were seriously injured.

Minor injuries were sent directly to the hospital, while the seriously injured were treated until they were out of danger.

Finally, the last corpse was thrown onto the pile.

Chen Hao condensed a fireball in his right hand and threw it toward the corpses.

Boom!

The scorching flames instantly ignited the bodies.

The entire square erupted in roaring flames, and the surrounding temperature began to climb steadily as the fire burned.

Thick black smoke from the burning corpses rose toward the sky.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of scorched protein.

The corpse oil in the flames ignited, emitting a crackling sound.

Everyone who smelled this foul odor subconsciously covered their mouths and noses with their hands.

Bai Jie covered her mouth and nose, her brows furrowed as she looked at Chen Hao.

Seeing Chen Hao looking so calm and composed, Bai Jie muttered to herself.

"Can you not smell the stench?"

Hearing this, Chen Hao smiled slightly.

"I can't."

"Why?"

"Because I have olfactory shielding."

"Olfactory shielding? If you've shielded your sense of smell, can you still breathe?"

"Forgot to tell you, I have another skill: skin breathing."

Hearing Chen Hao's words, Bai Jie felt nothing but envy.

"I can't take it, I can't stay here anymore."

"Ugh!"

Bai Jie made a retching motion and turned to flee.

As for Chen Hao, with the corpses burning here, the air was filled with thick corpse Qi.

For him, this was a legendary place for cultivation.

He stood there and began to cultivate.

Not until the flames died out did Chen Hao slowly open his eyes.

By this time, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Chen Hao walked slowly toward the Ability Bureau.

Bai Jie walked out of her room, yawning.

She saw Chen Hao walking back from outside.

"You just got back?"

Bai Jie found it somewhat incredible.

"Yeah."

"Don't tell me you stayed in that place all night?"

"Yeah, something like that."

Bai Jie was a bit shocked.

"That place smells so bad, why did you stay there so long?"

"Don't tell me you have a fetish for smelling that kind of thing?"

Hearing this, Chen Hao shook his head.

He made up an excuse: "The fire was so big, and there was wind last night."

"To prevent the fire from spreading elsewhere, I had to stay there."

Bai Jie was naturally skeptical of Chen Hao's explanation.

But she couldn't be bothered to expose him.

"Since you're back, go take a shower."

"The smell on you is almost marinated into your skin."

"Is it?"

Chen Hao subconsciously sniffed his left and right sleeves.

"Doesn't seem as bad as you say."

Hearing this, Bai Jie said: "You've adapted to it, of course you can't smell it."

Hearing this, Chen Hao darted to Bai Jie's side.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you think?"

"Since you say I smell, then help me wash up."

"Use your secret weapon."

Hearing the words "secret weapon," Bai Jie's face turned bright red in an instant.

Chen Hao didn't care; he picked her up directly.

"Ah~!"

Bai Jie let out a cry.

She couldn't help but say: "Chen Hao, you're crazy, this is the Ability Bureau."

Hearing this, Chen Hao just looked indifferent.

In this world, there are no walls that don't leak.
