Dust slowly settled.
It covered Chen Yu entirely, turning him gray.
About half a minute later, he finally regained the ability to move, shaking his body like a "dog."
"Swish—"
Dust flew around.
The four arms extending from his back vanished.
The flames burning around his body and the green light clinging to him also disappeared.
"Plop."
Chen Yu collapsed, falling to the ground.
The pain from his groin and severed arm caused cold sweat to form on his forehead and his complexion turned pale.
"Cough..."
With a violent cough, he spat out a mouthful of pus and blood.
Chen Yu didn't care about the pain in his body. He immediately seized the body of the one-eyed man in the pit, shook off the dust, and looked at the man's head—[Dead Corpse]
"Good."
He let out a long sigh of relief, staggered to his feet, and, carrying the corpse of the one-eyed man, hurriedly ran out of the north city gate.
And midway, he changed direction, sprinting at breakneck speed toward West Mountain!
Even before returning to Hecheng, he knew that the Transcendent sent to guard it were two people, a married couple.
Therefore, taking down one one-eyed man wasn't enough to let his guard down.
If he continued to stay in the same place, that "confined" Transcendent might also come to kill him!
Moreover...
He had stirred up such a big commotion today; if it attracted the attention of the masters from the capital, he would be done for.
"Splash!"
Passing by a turbulent river, Chen Yu did not hesitate to jump in and swam upstream, relying purely on his robust physique.
He sought to use the waterway to hide his tracks.
While running, he did not forget to clean the wound on his severed arm.
"Hiss—"
An unimaginably intense pain stimulated his sensitive nerves, causing him to inhale sharply with pain.
After cleaning the wound, Chen Yu's complexion grew even paler. He untied the wires binding his face and head, pulled down the face towel, and tied it tightly around his right wrist to stop the bleeding.
Then, he sped up his pace again, carrying the corpse of the one-eyed man and rushing through the water.
About fifteen minutes later.
He used tactics like diving underwater, climbing trees, and changing direction. He arrived at the mound where he had buried the "vest man" yesterday. He set down the body and sat on the ground, panting heavily.
Even for a Transcendent whose physical fitness far exceeded that of an ordinary person.
Excessive blood loss also caused his stamina to drop, and white spots began to flicker before his eyes.
Without time to delay, he caught his breath and immediately got up to begin working on the "one-eyed man's" corpse.
"Splat..."
"Crack..."
Quickly.
After some dismantling.
The man's title changed from [Dead Corpse] to [Look! This dead body is called Handsome]
Chen Yu: "???"
He didn't understand why the man's title hadn't changed to [Scatter Blossoms from Heaven] and was instead all over the place. But he didn't have the energy to ponder it. He immediately checked the text appearing on various parts of the one-eyed man's body.
[(F grade) Pure White Hair: No one refuses white hair. Same goes for white-haired men.]
[(F grade) Viscous Blood: It is not recommended to consume this drink.]
[(F- grade) Rotting Lungs: For some unknown reason, this person's lungs have turned into a puddle of mush.]
[(F- grade) Extremely Low Vitality: The tadpoles are inherently deficient and too lazy to move. They lost the ability to impregnate.]
[(F grade) Right foot with well-developed sweat glands: Legend has it that if you gather together the left foot, right foot, left hand, right hand, and torso, you can summon a dark sorcerer with infinite attack and defensive power. But clearly, this man's foot didn't possess such an ability. It could only summon flies.]
"..."
He scanned from top to bottom several times.
Realizing that he had only acquired five useless skills, Chen Yu's expression turned very ugly.
"Shit!"
"Not one of them is useful!"
"Even the fat guy was better! Not even an E grade."
Glancing at his still bleeding left wrist, he quickly dug up the corpse of the vest man from the mound, saw that its title was still [Scatter Blossoms from Heaven's Corpse], and with a gloomy face, buried both corpses back into the ground.
Afterward, he turned and ran toward the chaotic burial mound in Hecheng's West Park.
...
"Plop."
At the same time.
In Hecheng, at the North City Gate Plaza.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The Transcendent servant fell from the sky, landing with no expression, and looked around the entire scene.
He quickly found the big hole and walked over step by step. Bending over, he stretched out his hand and pinched a bit of bloody mud from the hole, examining it closely.
"..."
"Cold."
"It took me at most twenty-three minutes to fly here from the capital." He flicked away the bloody mud, and the Transcendent servant frowned slightly, "Such a quick battle."
After a moment of silence, he tilted his head and pressed the comm device in his ear: "I have an important matter and need to contact the manager."
"Please hold, operators are busy."
Transcendent Servant: "..."
Half a minute later.
The music in the earpiece ceased, replaced by a female voice: "Hello, operator 0323 at your service. Please indicate the degree of urgency of your matter. From one to five, low to high."
"Four."
"Understood, I will transfer you immediately."
Then, the voice in the Transcendent servant's ear changed to that of a middle-aged man: "Speak."
"Manager, sir!" The Transcendent servant bowed respectfully toward the capital, "The Transcendent involved in the Hecheng incident appeared again in Hecheng. I've arrived at the destination, but... the one stationed here may have been killed by him."
"The one stationed is dead?"
"Most likely." The Transcendent servant looked around and walked to a corner of the wall. He picked up a lifeless but intact wild cat, observing it while saying, "The one stationed used his ability—Banshee's Wail—extensively, but he is missing."
"I'll have someone check his lifeline."
The call paused.
