Chapter 42 – The Evil Yin Pearl

The Skeleton Man struck by Qin Hao fell onto the ground with a loud thud. His limbs broke apart and the bones were scattered all over the ground.

However, what shocked Qin Hao was that after the beads embedded in the Skeleton Man's eye sockets flashed a few times, the bones scattered in all directions quickly reassembled, turning into a complete Skeleton Man in the blink of an eye. The Skeleton Man charged at Qin Hao again.

He was frightened. That thing couldn’t be killed. Maybe he could kill them by destroying the beads in their eye sockets. But that was easier said than done.

The Ghost-Masked Man watched their fight indifferently, as if he was just watching a play. The end of the fight had long been doomed, which was, Qin Hao would die without a burial place and just become another Skeleton Man for him. But soon, he could no longer to stay calm.

Hardly had the Skeleton Man walked a few steps after it was reassembled did he found that the area where Qin Hao had clapped his palm was filled with black mist. It continuously turned the bones into ashes. Soon, the bones became smaller, and then started to break. After that, the black mist continued to engulf the surrounding bones.

"Crack, crack, crack." The bones of the Skeleton Man broke into pieces, and with a loud sound of “bang”, it fell to the ground and the dust rose up into the air. The Skeleton Man collapsed completely, but the beads in his eye sockets flashed again as they tried to reassemble. However, he could not stand up again for his bones had already turned to ashes. In the end, even his orbital bones were gone. Only two beads were left on the ground and they were filled with a strange glow.

"That’s impossible!" The Ghost-Masked Man shouted loudly. He was horrified.

Then Qin Hao attacked a few more Skeleton Men, and they had the same fate as the first one.

Qin Hao had already realized that although these Skeleton Men attacked very quickly and fiercely, they did not defend at all. If you could avoid all their attacks, you could easily fight back.

While attacking the Skeleton Men, he despised the control of them. How could he let them not to defend? But not letting them to defend was right. These Skeleton Men were unconscious. Teaching them how to defend was not easy. Anyhow, They could be reassembled as long as the beads were in good condition. Who would have thought that Qin Hao had such a powerful trick that could corrode the bones by just one slap?

"Bang, bang, bang …"

The sounds of striking could be heard as more Skeleton Men flew up into the air. After being hit a few times, the more Qin Hao fought, the easier it got for him. His practical experience also increased, and he finally realized that it was not enough to practice in isolation, and he had to come out and fight to increase his strength.

Seeing his treasured Skeleton Men being beaten like this by Qin Hao, the face of the Ghost-Masked Man started to twitch frantically. He could no longer stay calm, and with an ear-piercing scream, he leapt out, turning into a black shadow that struck towards Qin Hao.

This time, it was not the unconscious Skeleton Man but a living person that came over. Qin Hao was already flustered by these Skeleton Men. How could he still be able to block his attack?

“Thump.”

"Wu ~ ~ ~"

The Ghost-Masked Man kicked Qin Hao firmly. Qin Hao cried out in pain and flew out, crashing into the ground with a "Putong" sound.

"Brat, who the hell are you? Why you have such a strange palm technique?" The Ghost-Masked Man shouted at Qin Hao who felt terrible pain all over his body.

He stood up with the sharp pain, with his eyes glaring at the Ghost-Masked Man. He wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and said: "After you die, I will tell you." As soon as he had finished, the silver needles in his hand had flown out. At the same time, the Yin Wind Bone Erosion Palm also struck at the Ghost-Masked Man.

With a 'shua' sound, the Ghost-Masked Man pulled out a short knife from his waist. The knife transformed into a curtain of blades and knocked down all the silver needles. Needles could not hurt him. Then Qin Hao's palm which was surrounded by black Qi had arrived. The Ghost-Masked Man welcomed it with his palm without hesitation.

BOOM!

The two palms clapped each other and separated. The Ghost-Masked Man's palm was tainted with black Qi, which scared him so much that he quickly swung his palm and forced the black Qi away. Soon, the black Qi disappeared without a trace.

Qin Hao's expression changed greatly. No wonder that he dared to receive this palm strike, he was not afraid of it at all. This guy was too strong. Qin Hao felt powerless. His own strength was still too weak.

"What other tricks do you have? Use them all." The Ghost-Masked Man looked down on Qin Hao.

Qin Hao did not say anything. He only stared warily at the Ghost-Masked Man, using his Spirit Sense searched for an exit in his surroundings.

"What? Is there nothing you can do?" The Ghost-Masked Man's tone softened, "If you can tell me the formula of your palm technique, I can spare your life." He was very interested in Qin Hao’s Yin Wind Bone Erosion Palm. Although he was not defeated by his attack, the feeling that it consumed all his bone marrow had made him shocked. This young man's strength was still too low to fully exert the power of this palm strike. Otherwise, he would end up like those skeletons.

"Give it up. I won't tell you even if I die."

Qin Hao’s attitude surprised the Ghost-Masked Man, "What? You are not afraid of death?"

"Everyone is afraid of death, but since I've been reborn, I've vowed to never lower my head to anyone ever again. Even if I die, I'll face the death with my head held high." Qin Hao's eyes burst out some determination.

Hearing this, the Ghost-Masked Man's tone turned cold again, "You think that I can’t make you say it? I’ll have a hundred ways to make you say it if I catch you." He once again transformed into a black shadow and pounced over.

Suddenly, Qin Hao laughed strangely. Then he made a crazy move and hit his head towards the wall.

The Ghost-Masked Man's expression changed. He stopped and looked at Qin Hao in shock, thinking “Is he going to kill himself?” But what happened next overturned his thought.

"Boom!" With the explosive sound, the entire basement started to shake. The place where Qin Hao had hit started to fly up with dust, and rocks were flying everywhere.

When the dust dispersed, the Ghost-Masked Man saw a huge hole on the wall. Qin Hao had already disappeared into the hole, and the dense and strong Yin Energy rolled out from there.

At this moment, he seemed to realize something, and he rushed into the hole like a gust of wind.

There was a dark, damp room about a dozen square meters in size. A black bead was floating above his head, emitting masses of black mist.

"The Evil Yin Pearl?" The Ghost-Masked Man was so excited that he tore off his mask. His face was so pale that there was almost no blood in it. Without the mask, he could see the black bead more clearly.

"Hahaha, it really is the Evil Yin Pearl. I’ve been looking for you for so many years and you are here, hahaha." The Ghost-Masked Man laughed crazily, completely forgetting that Qin Hao was there. There was only the Evil Yin Pearl in his eyes. He was so excited that his entire body was trembling and he was out of his mind.

"Mine, it is mine." He flew up frantically, trying to catch the Evil Yin Pearl. The Evil Yin Pearl seemed to be alive, and with a "swoosh", it flew out and let him grab nothing but the long tail dragged out by the black mist.

"You're mine. Don't go." He continued to chase after the Evil Yin Pearl.

"Swish, swish, swish." The Evil Yin Pearl kept scurrying, while the Ghost-Masked Man kept jumping up and down, grabbing and catching, with his hair disheveled.

Qin Hao had already got up. Just now, when his Spirit Sense detected this place, he decided to crash the wall and get in to see if he could find a way to escape. He did not expect the wall to be so hard. Even though his head was full of Spirit Strength, it still made him dizzy for a long time. Now he was awake and sat up. If the Ghost-Masked Man wasn't attracted by the Evil Yin Pearl, he would have been trampled to death with a single kick.

"Eh, what is he doing?" Qin Hao saw the Ghost-Masked Man chasing after a black bead. His pale face was terrifying without the mask. He was howling and trying to catch the bead.

"This bead...?" Qin Hao also felt the dense Yin Energy coming from the bead, and basically, He had guessed what it was. At this moment, a wave of restlessness rose up within his body.

"That must be the Evil Yin Pearl." Qin Hao got excited. However, it wasn't easy to snatch the bead away. And he must think of a way to escape. If he could not get out of this place, there's no point in having a treasure. He could run away now, because that man didn’t notice him. But how could he run away without the bead?

Just as he hesitated, the Evil Yin Pearl came toward him with its long black tail, followed by the crazy man who jumped up and down.

"Should I catch it?" Looking at the Evil Yin Pearl that was flying over, Qin Hao's entire body shivered. He was extremely excited and hesitated if he should act. However, with a screech, the Evil Yin Pearl burrowed its head into his brain.

BOOM!

Qin Hao's body shook as if he was struck by lightning, and he retreated with a "deng deng deng" sound.

"What's going on?"

He didn't have time to figure it out. His body shook violently as if he had been electrocuted. His entire face was engulfed by the black mist. His originally white face now was completely black.

At the same time, the Evil Yin Pearl released out majestic energy which poured down from his head and went through all the bones and limbs. If this energy was absorbed and refined, he could break through to the Second Stage Martial Cultivator. Unfortunately, he did not have time to do that. When the Ghost-Masked Man saw that the Evil Yin Pearl had entered Qin Hao's brain and disappeared, his eyes turned green. He screamed strangely and charged at Qin Hao.

"Give me my Evil Yin Pearl!" Before he had finished his words, his knife had already arrived. Even the air was distorted by the glint of the blade.
