Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 436: Dead or Not?

Yang Qian was now full of energy. This was his third round of attack, from the ground to the underground. He had suffered a great loss in the first two rounds. Now only two-thirds of his neck was left, and his arms looked horrible. Now he was finally proud and it was his turn to attack.

He was extremely thankful that he did not flee after suffering two losses on the ground, but went the other way and killed them. Now it seemed that his bet was right.

Now Zhou Zhong's real body has been found, and this real body cannot easily turn into blood mist or allow Yang Qian to chop it like the fake body. After all, the fake body is not afraid of being chopped because it has no soul, but the real body dare not expose its soul to the outside.

This is equivalent to finding the weak spot, and the previous "invincibility" has become a pipe dream.

At the same time, after Yang Qian's body-protecting energy was strengthened, he had the possibility of competing with the opponent. The final bare-handed Danhuo Carving Array became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

From then on, Zhou Zhong stopped talking, and just passively used his evil thoughts to raise space ripples to resist Yang Qian's air-cutting technique.

Even in this state, Zhou Zhong couldn't determine Yang Qian's exact location. Melting into the wind, the space blocked all the breath and soul fluctuations, and couldn't lock with the energy, just like having his head covered, and could only passively take the beating.

Suddenly, without any warning, Zhou Zhong seemed to be exhausted. The space ripples that had been persisting suddenly stopped, and a very obvious window period appeared.

Yang Qian didn't even need to think, his body reacted immediately. He raised his hand and used three air-cutting techniques to chop over, instantly penetrating the gap left by Zhou Zhong, and almost at the same time, cutting through Zhou Zhong's air shield and body.

No matter how magical your body is, whether it turns into blood mist or reshapes a fake body, Yang Qian's goal has always been to smash the body and then crush the soul inside.

The soul is the key to killing!
Sure enough, Zhou Zhong's body turned into blood mist, as dense as a wall. Together with the fake bodies that rushed over frantically, they were ready to block Yang Qian's attack and give his soul a chance to escape.

At this point, the body has turned into blood mist and naturally can no longer create ripples in space. Who can still escape from Yang Qian's soul-slashing force?

There was a sound of "pop" and a burnt smell, and the fake body was completely crushed into pieces. At the same time, Yang Qian's giant blade cut into the abdominal cavity of Zhou Zhong's real body, and the sword intent exploded.

Zhou Zhong's soul was crushed to pieces just as he was about to rush out.

【Killed Zhou Zhong, a wanted criminal of the Hongwu Dynasty*1】

【Gain 50000 experience】

The moment the prompt popped up on the experience panel, all the fake bodies and blood mist around Yang Qian stopped and fell like sand, sinking into the ground and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

From the moment of life and death to the silence all around, it only took a moment.

Only then did Yang Qian's strength relax. He knelt down on one knee, leaning on the huge blade in his hand with a tired look on his face.

Finally killed him.

But his divine consciousness still firmly covered the bottom of the cave, keeping alert.

He took out a jade bottle from the storage bag, poured out a few pills and swallowed them. They were all pills for regenerating flesh and healing wounds.

However, this place is not a suitable place for healing. Yang Qian used a large area of ​​​​illumination magic to carefully look at the bottom of the cave, and found that now there was only the big stone where Zhou Zhong sat cross-legged just now, and the pit of the dried blood pool, and only the thick yin energy visible to the naked eye.

After confirming this several times, he left the place. He had to go to the surface to heal his wounds, otherwise he would not be able to heal his wounds at ease under the constant interference of the Yin Qi at the bottom of the cave. Yang Qian returned to the surface, set up a magic plate for defense, and meditated on the spot for two days. He stabilized his injuries and was ready to leave after he had recovered from them. But before leaving, he went down to the bottom of the cave again and carefully explored it.

Why so cautious? Because Yang Qian always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Zhou Zhong died, and the experience panel also gave a prompt and popped up a lot of experience. This is absolutely true.

But for some reason, every time Yang Qian thought of Zhou Zhong's dull expression before his death, as if he didn't care about life or death at all, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Is there anyone who is not afraid of death? Unless he is a fool. Anyway, Yang Qian has never seen such a person.

No matter how vicious a person is, he or she will not be able to withstand the imminent death. Even if they hold on, you can see subtle changes in their expressions, such as fear, regret, and unwillingness.
Even evil spirits will scream and scream in fear before they die.

Zhou Zhong's previous performance showed that he was a talkative and arrogant person. He shouldn't be so calm when facing death. Cursing or yelling would be much more reasonable than having a blank expression and a dull and numb look.

This means that objectively the experience panel says "it's over", but Yang Qian's cognitive judgment feels that there is something wrong with this ending.

It's just awkward.

But no matter what, the experience panel has confirmed that the person who died is Zhou Zhong, a wanted criminal of the Hongwu Dynasty. Judging from the experience gained, it is also the experience of the late Out-of-Body Realm. Even if Yang Qian has a knot in his heart, he can't keep guarding this underground cave after searching it carefully several times without success.

But before leaving, he still arranged several formations to cover this extremely dark place. Firstly, to be on the safe side; secondly, he was worried that ghosts or evil spirits would find this place and gather to cause disaster.

When Yang Qian flew away from the hill and returned to the city on a cloud, the place returned to peace under the hidden magic circle.

However, Yang Qian didn't know that his cognitive judgment was not wrong. At the same time, the hint given by the experience panel was also correct. The mistake was that he missed a piece of information.

Zhou Zhong is not just Zhou Zhong.

At the bottom of the cave, where Yang Qian had searched carefully several times without any results, wisps of blood mist began to seep out from the ground after he left. The blood mist then gathered towards the originally dry pit. After more than ten breaths, the pit was once again filled with clear blood-red liquid, returning to its previous appearance as a blood pool.

Then the scarlet liquid in the blood pool began to bubble, and then a red crystal-like entity rose from the blood pool. Every time it rose a little, the liquid in the blood pool would decrease a little.

After about a cup of tea, a half-foot-tall human-shaped monster emerged from the pool of blood, and the scarlet liquid in the pool disappeared completely.

It has a humanoid figure with wings on its back, an animal head, a single horn, and three eyes on its head!
If Yang Qian could see this scene, he would definitely shout in horror: Evil god statue!

This evil god statue was not as rigid as the one that had appeared in Jizhou Prefecture before, nor was it as superficial as the one Xiao Cangyu had used to transform it. Instead, it had a unique aura and a vivid expression, flapping its wings and flying into the air, indistinguishable from a real living creature.

"Although it was not smooth, I have survived a disaster. It seems that the next disaster will fall on Yang Qian. Is it that I have to overcome this disaster in this life to succeed?"

After muttering something, the evil god statue landed on the big rock and sat cross-legged, closing its eyes and meditating.
