Chapter 60: Xiaobai, did you eat a person?

"Heh, you're at death's door and still spouting such big talk; you truly are clueless!"

Zhang Kuang sneered, and the ball of energy gathering in his hand smashed directly toward Luo Shuiyan and the others.

That overbearing pressure caused the expressions of the group to change, and they retreated in all directions.

"Not good! Retreat quickly!"

However, just as Zhang Kuang launched his attack, in that very instant, Lao Huang keenly sensed a life-or-death crisis! He hurriedly warned Zhang Kuang, his tone extremely urgent.

But Lao Huang was still a step too late.

Before he had even finished speaking, a small purple beast ran out from the space behind him.

Sensing the fluctuations coming from behind, Zhang Kuang also realized that things were looking bad.

He turned his head subconsciously, but just as he turned around, a massive gold brick entered his vision!

Following that, before Zhang Kuang could even react, the gold brick smashed down directly onto his head.

The moment the Kirin Seal made contact with Zhang Kuang, his highly defensive shield shattered instantly.

It turned directly into specks of starlight and dissipated into mid-air.

Zhang Kuang widened his eyes, his pupils filled with shock.

Even the spiritual power within his body stopped circulating at this instant.

He couldn't even circulate his cultivation technique to resist, and he didn't even have a chance to dodge.

Bang! A muffled grunt rang out.

The Kirin Seal flashed by like a streak of golden light, and Zhang Kuang's face, originally filled with terror, instantly exploded.

That head was like a shattered watermelon; he was dead beyond any doubt.

"Pfft!"

After killing Zhang Kuang in a second, Jiang Che did not stop.

Instead, he opened his mouth directly, and a scorching flame was spat out immediately after.

This was the Kirin True Flame; under the sweep of this flame, Zhang Kuang's frail physical body quickly vanished, turning into fly ash and dissipating into the air.

"I'm unwilling! I am so unwilling!"

In mid-air, Lao Huang's angry roar could be faintly heard.

He had already died once, and it had been difficult for him to survive as a Soul Body.

He had intended to help Zhang Kuang reach the peak so that he could recover his own physical body.

Yet he never expected this Zhang Kuang to be so brainless; knowing full well that Jiang Che and the others were not to be trifled with, he still insisted on harboring murderous intent.

Now it was all for nothing; as Zhang Kuang fell, Lao Huang's divine soul also began to dissipate.

Jiang Che even used the Kirin True Flame to accelerate his death just to be safe.

And just as Jiang Che appeared on the scene, Luo Shuiyan, on the other side, also stood in front of the group.

A spiritual power shield instantly emerged on her hands, blocking Zhang Kuang's earlier attack.

However, the yellow energy sphere exploded violently the moment it touched the shield.

Although the attack was blocked by Luo Shuiyan, the overbearing energy shockwave still sent the women behind her flying.

Fortunately, with Luo Shuiyan's obstruction, the overflowing force was all dissipated and neutralized by the women.

But even so, they still retreated all the way to the entrance of the great hall.

Only then did they fully neutralize the force and barely manage to steady themselves, though fortunately, they did not suffer any injuries.

"Where is the boss?!"

The Little Tiger, having reacted, immediately sought out Jiang Che.

And at this moment, Jiang Che had already finished dealing with the corpse and happened to fly out from the smoke and dust.

His speed was extremely fast; with just a flash, he stood on Luo Shuiyan's shoulder.

As the smoke and dust before them slowly dissipated, the previously fierce and vicious Zhang Kuang had now vanished.

"Where did Zhang Kuang go? How did he disappear?"

"That guy had a crooked heart; could he be hiding in the dark, wanting to ambush us?"

Hu Xiaoxiao and the others looked around with caution, worried that Zhang Kuang was still hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to act.

After all, both that formidable defense and the attack that had just erupted made them feel extremely wary.

They had not expected Zhang Kuang's strength to be unexpectedly powerful.

"No need to worry, that guy has already disappeared," Jiang Che said quite casually regarding this.

In his past life, during his spare time at work, Jiang Che had read his fair share of martial arts novels.

Naturally, he knew that when one is in the pugilistic world, one must never leave behind any evidence.

Killing someone and burning the corpse was standard procedure, done in one smooth motion.

If Zhang Kuang's corpse were left exposed before them,

although Lin Xueer and the others would not betray them,

it was hard to say what the academy might think if others saw it.

It was better to just burn it clean and be done with it.

"I'm hungry again!"

Jiang Che patted his stomach, then took a Spirit Fruit out of his storage space and began to eat it.

Seeing Jiang Che, the little white tiger scratched his head.

"Boss, you didn't eat that guy just now, did you?!"

"What?! Xiaobai, you even eat people?!"

Hearing the Little Tiger's words, Hu Xiaoxiao immediately looked at Jiang Che in utter shock.

It was hard for her to connect the harmless, cute little beast before her eyes with the devouring of corpses and flesh.

She could not link them together.

No matter how she thought about this image, it seemed somewhat incongruous...

"Pah, pah, pah! What are you saying!"

"That guy is so disgusting, how could I possibly eat him? Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit!"

Hearing the words of Little Tiger and Hu Xiaoxiao, Jiang Che immediately retorted excitedly.

Following that, he hurriedly ate two bites of Spirit Fruit to calm his nerves.

Just thinking of Zhang Kuang made him feel nauseated.

Luo Shuiyan naturally knew that Jiang Che would not eat people; she sensed the faint traces of flame lingering at the scene.

She guessed that just now, while the smoke and dust were filling the air, Xiaobai must have burned Zhang Kuang's corpse.

Destroying the corpse to eliminate the evidence was why everyone could not find any trace of Zhang Kuang.

"The matter of killing Zhang Kuang must absolutely not be known by others!"

Luo Shuiyan said in a low voice; this matter was of great importance and must not be leaked in the slightest.

At this moment, Hu Xiaoxiao had retreated to the entrance of the great hall.

Hearing Luo Shuiyan's words, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Qi Hai, who was trapped by the restriction in the great hall.

"Rest assured, I didn't see anything and didn't hear anything just now!"

"This Ancient Restriction is so amazing; it can actually block a person's five senses. Why can't I see anything anymore!"

Seeing the gazes of the few, Qi Hai's face turned incomparably pale, and his voice even trembled slightly.

He was terrified that Luo Shuiyan and the others would deal with him as well in order to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.

Now that he was trapped within the restriction, he could not even put up a fight.

"It's fine; based on his one-sided testimony alone, the academy won't believe him."

Luo Shuiyan glanced at Qi Hai and said indifferently.

Qi Hai was not a bad person; on the contrary, he had been extremely unlucky in both lifetimes...

As for Qi Hai, Luo Shuiyan currently had no reason to kill him.

"Hmph! Consider yourself lucky, kid." Hu Xiaoxiao glared at Qi Hai and said.

"We will walk along the back of this great hall; there is a place there that hides Spirit Weapons."

Having said that, Luo Shuiyan led the others away.

In her past life, the inheritance technique was obtained by her, and although Qi Hai was unlucky, he had also obtained a good Spirit Weapon.

Qi Hai, trapped within the Array, was feeling incomparably depressed at this moment.

How did everyone else know about the opportunities that he knew of?! Wasn't it said that there was only this one map?!
