We’re no match for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast Hunter Guards in the camp were all shocked to hear of the deputy captain’s death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cai Feng Squad exchanged bewildered glances. Could the deputy captain have encountered the creature they had faced before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deputy captain and his entourage were dead, leaving the camp without official authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast Hunting Camp was now in a state of lawlessness, without order or supervision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dangerous aura instantly permeated the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast Hunter Guards unconsciously distanced themselves from one another, their eyes full of caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peace in the Beast Hunting Guard Camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First relies on long-established conventions, second on the official forces’ supervision and management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who dares to fight in the camp would be hunted by the City Lord’s Mansion and added to the Beast Hunting Bureau’s blacklist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with the death of the camp’s colonel, all these concerns clearly no longer existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone needs to keep watch at night.\" Back in the tent, Shi Caifeng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, I suspect tonight won’t be peaceful.\" Jiang Chenyu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squad discussed among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Caifeng and Jiang Chenyu would take the first watch, while Lou Yi and Yan Ze would take the second half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi lay on the wooden bed at the back of the tent, unable to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the other beds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed Yan Ze, Gu Yu, Wang Long, and others were tossing and turning, also unable to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a major change in the camp, everyone was on edge, and anyone who could sleep peacefully was certainly carefree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lou Yi thought this, he heard the sound of snoring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a time like this, only Shi Qingde could sleep in the squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s hard to tell if he should be praised for his resolve or scolded for his nerves of steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bang bang bang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Clap clap clap!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Lou Yi was beginning to feel a bit sleepy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hundred meters outside the tent, intense fighting noises suddenly erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, an angry voice sounded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Poison Snake, are you crazy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the commotion, everyone jumped out of bed and dashed outside the tent with a ’whoosh’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A considerable crowd had already gathered to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conflict was between two Great Circulation Martial Artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One wore a green robe, hair half-gray, looking in his fifties or sixties, with a hint of an ethereal aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other wore a black robe, around thirty, with blood-red eyes, a sinister gaze, resembling a Poison Snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the black robe said in a sinister voice, \"Li Laotou, last time on Tiandu Mountain, you left us to die, causing two of my squad to perish. Today, I’m settling scores and avenging my people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit! Your people were chased by a Python Spirit. That Python Spirit is as strong as a Full Cycle. Wouldn’t I be walking into a trap too?\" The old man in green retorted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Couldn’t you have interfered from afar? You just wanted to watch my guys die!\" The man in the black robe sneered, refusing to listen to any justification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink, their Blood Qi surged, and they were at it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither used weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man in green’s hand technique was exquisite, stable and seamless, almost without flaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the black robe seemed to have mastered a Poison Technique, with long, sharp nails of a purplish-black hue, glimmering ominously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bang bang bang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sand and dust flew all around, with two wooden huts collapsing in the wake of their battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Great Circulation Martial Artist commands a strength of four to five thousand pounds, destructive like a giant bear in human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding crowd hurriedly backed away, fearing collateral damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s Poison Snake from the Vengeance Squad, vindictive and petty, I don’t like him much.\" Little Braids Yan Ze informed Lou Yi, \"The other older one is Li Changqing from the Evergreen Squad, who has a good reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Li Changqing had a good reputation, no one dared to step into this chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Changqing, being older and more experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appeared to be gradually overpowering Poison Snake, forcing him to retreat step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear to the perceptive that Poison Snake’s defeat was only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Swish!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mysterious black hidden weapon suddenly pierced the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its speed far surpassed that of normal arrows, hitting the unprepared Li Changqing squarely in the chest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Changqing let out a scream, his stance faltering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Poison Snake’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands turned into claws, rapidly slashing forward, gouging a bloody hole in the opponent’s throat, blood spurting out like a fountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor Li Changqing, who had roamed the martial world for decades, was tragically struck down today, dying on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poison Snake laughed heartily, his bloodthirsty gaze fixed on the rest of the Evergreen Squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill them all for me!\" he commanded his subordinates, determined to eradicate the threat completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Poison Snake, this matter has nothing to do with us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of the Evergreen Squad fled or pleaded for their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Poison Snake was resolute, cold-blooded, and ruthless, determined to wipe out the entire squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his leadership, the remaining members of the Evergreen Squad were swiftly slaughtered, with no one escaping alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poison Snake brazenly fired the first shot in the camp’s massacre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the spectators couldn’t help but feel a surge of inexplicable savagery within themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos, it seems, is contagious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, imitators appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Han Zhen, you ambushed me last time, today I’ll settle the score!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screw you, don’t twist the truth, it was you who ambushed me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shen Jing, this time next year will be your death anniversary!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill, kill, kill, today it’s either you or me who dies!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of blades clashing, fists colliding, hard objects shattering, and men and women screaming filled the air above the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast Hunter Guards, who had lived amidst slaughter for years, were full of pent-up aggression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, they were forcibly suppressed by the imperial court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, with the deputy captain overseeing the camp dead, their aggression was like a flood let loose, with no restraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Affected by this, even those who didn’t wish to harm others could only strike first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Caifeng and Lou Yi guarded the others in their squad, slowly retreating back to their tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At dawn, we’ll retreat,\" Shi Caifeng said, \"We’ll regroup after the beast horde ends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one objected to her decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night, Shi Caifeng and Lou Yi, the two strongest, kept watch in front of the tent, preventing any troublemakers from approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Cai Feng Squad usually acted with principles, rarely making enemies, and Shi Caifeng’s overt strength was formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, they remained undisturbed for half the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the screams echoing around, Lou Yi felt a stirring within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going for a walk,\" he told Shi Caifeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Caifeng was stunned: \"Don’t go too far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Lou Yi’s exceptional strength, so she wasn’t worried about his safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just afraid that if he left, their squad might encounter danger they couldn’t handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, I won’t leave the camp,\" Lou Yi said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash, he disappeared from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first arrived at Li Changqing’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the disarray of his clothes, it was clear someone had searched him, but Lou Yi didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bending down, he closed the unseeing eyes of the dead, and clasped his hands together: \"In your next life, be an ordinary person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, energy +4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then moved to the corpses of Li Changqing’s teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their deaths were horrific, bodies incomplete, with entrails, flesh, and yellow-and-white matter scattered everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi closed their eyes one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The notifications of ’energy +2’, ’energy +3’ kept ringing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary martial artist corpses could provide Lou Yi with two points of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minor Circulation martial artists could offer three points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a matter of moments, Lou Yi gathered twenty energy points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While within the camp, the slaughter had only just begun, with people dying constantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi approached a newly deceased male corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to move closer, he noticed a Minor Circulation martial artist had also set sights on the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scavenging corpses was low risk and high reward, who wouldn’t want to do it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Lou Yi, the person grew wary, drawing his sword in a standoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi frowned, he had no time to waste here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he unleashed his aura, rapidly circulating his Secret Blood, and shouted, \"Scram!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mere Two Blood dares to be so arrogant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person sneered, swinging his sword furiously at Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a ’puff puff’ sound, he quickly fell as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi tucked the axe back into his coat, a contemplative look in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1531,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.887Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","fe23f7891ed34292fa6826f210f02e980c21d0853b14c6690495070dd418220b","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-140","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-138",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
