Evil Spirit Corpse Appears
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Tie Suanxian pondered for a moment and confirmed his thoughts. He approached Xu Bai and lowered his voice.
“If you have designs on the boss, I advise you to stop as soon as possible. Otherwise, the bloody calamity will fall on your head.”
Xu Bai supported his chin with his hand and said with interest, “Tell me in detail.”
The two of them spoke very softly. Coupled with the surrounding noise, nobody could hear them except for themselves.
“Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed. If you believe me, do as I say. If you don’t, there’s nothing I can do.” Tie Suanxian raised the long banner and seemed a little guilty. He looked around and left in a hurry.
Xu Bai looked at Tie Suanxian’s back, put down his hand, and gently swirled the wine glass on the table.
He came over without rhyme or reason and left behind a few random words.
But from this, Xu Bai drew out several possibilities.
If Tie Suanxian and Yun Xiang were accomplices, saying these words to him at this time would undoubtedly alert the enemy.
It was also possible that Yun Xiang had used Tie Suanxian to warn him.
If the two of them were not working together, it could only be said that Tie Suanxian was too inexperienced.
Although there were many people in the inn, he was dressed differently than ordinary people. He had attracted the attention of many people by running to Xu Bai’s place, let alone Yun Xiang.
Wasn’t this what a fool would do?
If Xu Bai was his teammate, he would have been screwed.
Of course, there was another possibility.
This fellow was using this opportunity to shift Yun Xiang’s target.
Tie Suanxian ran over towards him openly. Even if he knew that running over would attract the attention of the surrounding people, he did not care.
The goal was most likely to divert the attention and shift it to Xu Bai.
No matter what, Tie Suanxian was not a simple person.
“Sigh, how about… I think of a way to kill them all,” Xu Bai thought.
He really just wanted to develop in Sheng County and quietly use his cheat to improve himself.
Including sitting here and drinking, it was just for the progress bar.
If it wasn’t for the progress bar, he would have slipped away long ago.
But now, this matter seemed to have come knocking on his door.
“I wonder if cutting off the skin on her hand will be useful.” Xu Bai thought of another method and shook his head.
He had already persisted for so long. If cutting it was useless, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be in vain?
The progress bar was very precious and difficult to discover, or at least it was so in the Sheng County.
After drinking the wine in his glass, Xu Bai continued to stare at the maple leaf tattoo on the back of Yun Xiang’s hand.
“Let’s max out the progress bar first. If nothing happens, forget it. If something happens… don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
That was what he thought.
He was really not looking for trouble. He just wanted to maximize the progress bar. If the matter came knocking on his door, he would not be afraid.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon.
In the middle, Yun Xiang went to the second floor. It was not until noon that she came down from the second floor and left the inn.
When she went up, she was dressed in coarse cotton clothes. When she came down, she was also dressed in the same clothes.
There was no haste in her footsteps. She walked very calmly.
Xu Bai’s gaze lingered on Yun Xiang until she disappeared through the door.
Sure enough, it was exactly as the waiter had said. She left at noon every time. Last time, he did not stay in the inn until this time, nor did he see Yun Xiang leave.
Looking at the empty door, Xu Bai thought for a moment and didn’t follow him.
It was more important to accumulate the progress bar first.
Thinking of this, he called the waiter to pay the bill. After leaving the inn, he walked home.
In the next few days, he lived a two-point life.
He got up early and went to the inn. Then, he ate while staring at the maple leaf tattoo.
After Yun Xiang left the inn, he also left.
The progress bar was increasing. Although it was growing very slowly, everything was calm.
Over the past few days of drinking, he had not seen Tie Suanxian’s figure. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared.
On this day, as usual, he waited for Yun Xiang to leave before walking out of the inn and continuing to stroll around.
He went for lunch again, but he still did not see Yun Xiang.
When night fell, it was still the same. There was no one around.
Xu Bai paid the bill and went home alone.
The progress bar was already 90% full. He estimated that it would only take a day or two more to complete it.
Sitting on the bed, the oil lamp chased away the darkness.
He thought that when the progress bar was full, he would have to rely on the bookstore.
Moreover, there was still half of the county city to explore. Perhaps he could find something good then.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai felt sleepy.
He stood up from the bed and prepared to extinguish the oil lamp. He would go to bed early and continue to go to the inn tomorrow to continue his efforts.
However, before he could reach the oil lamp, he saw a figure flash past the window from the corner of his eye.
Xu Bai frowned slightly. He picked up the Ghost Head Saber beside the bed and walked to the window.
It was dark outside, so he couldn’t see anything unusual.
The figure just now seemed to be an illusion and did not appear again.
But Xu Bai didn’t think so.
There had been a lot of things going on recently, especially Yun Xiang’s problem, which made him wary.
Don’t underestimate the wind and grass. Sometimes, if you’re careless, you’ll die.
Who would come to his window in the middle of the night?
He held the Ghost Head Saber in his hand and stared fixedly at the window, motionless.
The oil lamp flickered, and the shadows on the wall swayed, giving off a creepy feeling.
At that moment, another shadow flashed past the window.
Xu Bai pushed the window open with a slap and swept his long saber toward the window.
“Clang!”
The sound of metal colliding could be heard. At the same time, there was a roar.
Xu Bai took a closer look and his pupils constricted.
In the dark night, stood a man in tattered clothes.
The man’s entire body was covered in livor mortis. His face had already rotted slightly, and there was rotten flesh all over his body.
Xu Bai’s attack was blocked by the man.
The man’s hand was like steel, and the Ghost Head Saber only went halfway through.
“Evil Spirit Corpse!”
Previously, when he came to the inn, he had chatted with the few martial world people who had already died. He roughly understood some strange things.
The thing in front of him was most likely an evil spirit corpse.
“Looks like the Jisheng Cult is really causing trouble in Sheng County.”
This familiar scene reminded him of the female corpse in red in the Raging Tiger Bandits.
The shape was similar, but stronger.
Just by being able to block the Ghost Head Saber with his bare hands proved that this evil spirit corpse was stronger than the red-robed female corpse.
However… the strength was only relative.
“How ugly.” Xu Bai thought to himself as he pulled out the Ghost Head Saber. The Bone Breaking Blade Technique followed him like a shadow.
The female corpse in red was a woman after all. He could barely go against it, but this evil spirit corpse was really difficult to go against.
The Ghost Head Saber swept across and slashed at the zombie’s neck.
The evil spirit corpse’s defense was high, but with the addition of Genuine Qi, the saber directly cut through the zombie’s neck and cut off half of its neck.
“Roar!”
With a low growl, the evil spirit corpse stretched its arms and continued to pounce on Xu Bai.
Xu Bai took two steps back, drew his Ghost Head Saber, and slashed the other half of the zombie’s neck from right to left.
With this slash, the zombie’s head fell off. It rolled on the ground a few times and its body fell to the ground without any movement.
“Very weak. Is this a test?”
Xu Bai held the Ghost Head Saber. He looked like a ghost in the dark night.
