Chapter 160

Qing Jian swallowed another restorative consumable to recover HP.

Her injuries were very heavy; although Blood Eagle was not as good as her, there was the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven not only buffed Blood Eagle but also constantly applied negative states and various controls to her.

If not for the fact that she had prepared sufficiently this time and brought many restorative items.

While circulating the sword Qi in her body to expel the Son of Heaven's residual mana, she was also constantly healing herself.

By now, she had recovered seven or eight-tenths, but her body was not suitable for battle.

At the current recovery efficiency, she could return to her peak before dawn.

But she was worried that the enemy wouldn't give her that time.

She had seen the thing Blood Eagle handed to the Son of Heaven before he died.

The reason she didn't snatch it back was that she was already severely injured at the time; facing the Son of Heaven, whose attributes were all question marks, at this time, she had no chance of winning.

At that time, she didn't even have time to run, let alone have such thoughts.

She suspected that the thing Blood Eagle handed to the Son of Heaven was a revenge item that locked onto her.

Suddenly, she sensed several gazes watching her.

As a melee-type apostle, her perception was very sharp, and her intuition was also extremely powerful.

Through her own sword Qi, she locked onto the source of the gazes at the first moment.

Looking up, she saw ghost objects like infants crawling in along the eaves.

Qing Jian decisively drew her sword and slashed; biting sword Qi dispersed and headed toward those ghost objects.

"What do you want... to do to my children?" A hoarse, resentful voice emerged from Qing Jian's ear.

Pitch-black ghost claws pierced through her heart; Qing Jian reacted faster, turning to slash with her sword, and after struggling to shatter the ghost claws, her whole person retreated several steps.

When she was suppressed by the Son of Heaven in the courtroom earlier, she knew that Chu Danqing's comprehensive strength could definitely rank in the top three among the Reserve Rank.

However, she never expected that Chu Danqing not only had the Son of Heaven but also another such powerful summoned object.

She now regretted it too; if she had known, she shouldn't have pursued so relentlessly today, giving Blood Eagle and Chu Danqing a chance to make contact.

"Wait a moment." Qing Jian hurriedly said: "I have a revenge mark left by the Long Hu Alliance on me."

"The Long Hu Alliance has invested a large amount of resources in me; if I die at your hands, the master behind you will also be marked."

"Once he enters the Rank 1 area, he will be hunted down if he encounters people from the Long Hu Alliance."

"I can compensate according to the price." Qing Jian said immediately.

First, she brought out her background to deter him, and then she expressed her willingness to pay money.

However, her words did not cause the Ghost Resentment Mother to pause, and the Ghost Resentment Infants also took the opportunity to enter and join the siege.

This situation made Qing Jian immediately understand that Blood Eagle's revenge item had the effect of exempting life-taking.

She couldn't help but curse inwardly that the Tiance Prefecture was truly wealthy to go to such lengths to erase her.

Competition between major powers certainly existed.

On the surface, it was healthy competition, but when an opportunity arose, they certainly wouldn't let it go.

She couldn't block the Ghost Resentment Mother's second attack; her right arm holding the sword, along with her shoulder blade, shattered instantly.

At the same time, grim ghost Qi surged into her body along the wound.

Already injured, she was now injured on top of injuries.

The Ghost Resentment Infants also rushed over at this time, pouncing like mad dogs.

Their bodies were covered with a layer of eerie ghost fire, causing not physical damage, but double damage of Yin attribute and mental attribute.

Every attack could make Qing Jian's consciousness lose focus for an instant.

"Heavenly Demon Disintegration!"

Things having reached this point, Qing Jian directly used her trump card.

A very famous cultivation art in martial arts and immortal arts, there were many versions, and the effects were also different.

But without exception, they were all about self-mutilation, burning lifespan, overdrawing aptitude, etc., to exchange for short-lived powerful combat strength.

The version Qing Jian used was the sword path version, a powerful effect that came at the cost of overdrawing her own sword path aptitude.

Her attributes directly soared by 10 points, and just as she was preparing to counterattack, the Ghost Resentment Mother's ghost claws pierced her heart and dragged it out.

"This... this shouldn't be..." Qing Jian murmured, and the Ghost Resentment Infants pounced over, tearing her to pieces.

A blood-colored Taiji pattern of a dragon coiling and a tiger crouching appeared on the corpse and landed on the Ghost Resentment Mother, and along the connection between her and Chu Danqing, it quickly transferred to Chu Danqing's body.

Chu Danqing, who was waiting outside, naturally sensed the blood-colored Taiji mark appearing on the back of his hand.

He had just seen it clearly when the Life-Taking Doll took effect, and the mark was instantly transferred to the doll's body, with the mark appearing on the doll's forehead.

【Proxy revenge complete; you can choose one piece of loot from the revenge target's storage space】

【Revenge mark has been transferred; please discard the Life-Taking Doll as soon as possible, do not carry it】

Hearing this, Chu Danqing let a Ghost Resentment Infant take the Life-Taking Doll and leave quickly, instructing it to find a place to dig a hole and bury it.

Then he began to choose the loot in the storage space.

"Not a brother, why is everything black?" Chu Danqing looked at the listed items and couldn't see the attribute panels at all, only black shadows of various shapes.

The Life-Taking Doll's revenge fruit effect did indeed allow him to choose at will, but it didn't say it would show him the attribute panels.

Chu Danqing rubbed his temples: "Blood Eagle probably didn't know this was the situation either."

"Otherwise, he would have been the second one to die."

After some observation, Chu Danqing first excluded things that might be daily necessities.

"The safest one should be this sword." Chu Danqing looked at a sword-shaped black shadow; Qing Jian used a sword, so this sword was highly likely her weapon.

Unless the apostle was killed in an instant, otherwise, as long as they had one breath left, they would have a specialty.

That was to put all equipment into the storage space, so the enemy wouldn't even think about getting a single good thing.

Previously, the mechanical-type apostle's hand holding the energy equipment was severed, which was why he couldn't put it away in time.

The things that could be stripped from the other party's body were all scrap metal, not even having panels.

"Forget it, no more gambling, I'll just choose the sword." Chu Danqing directly determined his target.

As for selling this sword and being known by the Long Hu Alliance? So what?

To get the highest value, one must bear the greatest risk.

After seeing this, Chu Danqing understood why Qing Jian could get such large resource inclination; it turned out she had a growth-type weapon equipment.

Coupled with the fact that she was on the melee sword-type path, it could be said to be very compatible.

"The value of this piece of equipment is not inferior to basic skills."

"I wonder when I'll be able to have a growth-type equipment for the summoning-type." Chu Danqing was so envious.

"It seems I can't sell it." Chu Danqing's tone was slightly regretful; such good equipment must definitely be arranged for Guo Ming.

As for it being limited to females? This was not a problem at all.

Did you really think the Guo clan was some soft persimmon, and couldn't handle a piece of Fine-tier equipment?

The Flesh Scholar's spellbook fell into the hands of the Guo clan and had now become a well-behaved cub, although the production of life-extending pills was low and the effect was poor.

However, the Guo clan didn't care; having fixed production and being able to re-refine it, the most important thing was not having to worry about heavenly punishment.

The resources needed to re-refine a hundred pills could be recouped by selling just one; what was there to complain about? Instead, it was treasured to no end.

And a growth-type longsword falling into Guo Ming's hands meant his future prospects would be limitless.

"However, the growth requirements for growth-type equipment are so harsh, it must definitely drag people to death." Chu Danqing felt that he was so poor, and at the current stage, the cost-effectiveness of growth-type weapons was not high; it was better to choose to keep upgrading.

Of course, if he really had a growth-type equipment, just pretend he never said that.

Because he didn't have one, he was sour enough to say the cost-effectiveness wasn't high; once he had one, he would smash pots and sell iron to raise it.

Chu Danqing put it away, and after the Ghost Resentment Mother and Ghost Resentment Infants returned, he returned to the house he rented without a shred of hesitation.

There was no need to hide or clean up; with such a big commotion tonight, it was already a nail in the coffin that it would be investigated that he was the one who did it.

What he had to consider now was how to deal with the upcoming trouble after dawn.

The upper echelons of Linyuan City would indeed be wary and not dare to tear off their masks, but that didn't mean they wouldn't take any action.

Chu Danqing was on someone else's turf, so there would always be some movement, whether it was probing or a showdown.

"Wait until dawn, let's go to the prison to see Yang Wenju first." Chu Danqing muttered.

He didn't know what methods the enemy would have, but if he could get his hands on the so-called Sea-Suppressing Diagram, then he would have another advantage and initiative in his hands.

As for why he didn't go now, that was also very simple.

It was 4:30 in the morning; who visits a prison at this hour?

Hijacking someone would be more like it.

But to complete the side mission, Chu Danqing couldn't hijack; after hijacking, how could he open the court?

Before the news spread, there was no need to worry about Yang Wenju's personal safety.

On the contrary, if he went to see him now, the danger coefficient would directly increase.

The upper echelons of Linyuan City would use the fact that Yang Wenju was useful to Chu Danqing as a breakthrough point.

He wouldn't die, but torture would be unavoidable.

Open and aboveboard versus sneakily were two different results.
