Chapter 90: Personally Tear You Apart.

Edited by: Mochiusagi 

The fire blazed and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

Xu Yi said in a deep voice: “Constable Liu, you should evacuate first. Do not let anyone approach.”

“Yes!”

Constable Liu clasped his fists, then retreated with the Officials.

At this time, only Xu Yi and the group were left.

“Concentrate. Once you feel the Evil Aura, that’s when the monster appears.”

Xu Yi coldly shouted.

Hearing this, Tian Feibai and the others all pulled out their weapons, solemnly staring at the burning Zhou Family’s Ancestral Residence.

The scorching temperature made their cheeks flush red.

But no one retreated. Instead, they became more tense.

Soon, the fire completely devoured the Zhou Family’s Ancestral Residence.

Even in broad daylight, the fire could be seen rising into the sky of Jin City.

“Master, something has happened!” 

In the current Zhou Family’s residence, a housekeeper hurriedly reported.

Patriarch Zhou’s expression slightly darkened: “Speak slowly, what’s the rush?”

Facing the scolding, the housekeeper calmed down a bit, and then said, “Master, there seems to be fire at the Ancestral house—”

“What!?”

[Bang~]! 

The teacup in Patriarch Zhou’s hand broke, as he stood up from the chair.

As soon as he walked out of the lobby, he immediately saw the fire outside.

“What the hell is going on, why is the Ancestral house on fire!”

Patriarch Zhou’s expression was ugly.

""

The Ancestral house was the foundation of the Zhou Family. Even with the monster there, he never thought of giving it up.

He’ll just wait for the monster to be removed, and then move back in again. But now, that Ancestral house was on fire, this idea was undoubtedly unattainable.     

The housekeeper replied in a low voice: “According to the news, it seems that people from the Government Office did it, and it has something to do with the people who came here today.”     

If it was someone else that set fire to the Zhou Family’s Ancestral house, Patriarch Zhou could oppose it.     

But if it was the Demon Suppression Division, there was no way for him to debate the decision.     

After standing in place for a long time, Patriarch Zhou sighed deeply: “Forget it, no one meddles in this matter without my order.”     

“Yes!”     

The fire intensified, causing the Zhou Family’s Ancestral house to collapse, one part after the other.

Suddenly, cold air suddenly surged amidst the hot temperature. 

“Here it comes!”     

Xu Yi shouted. He then took a step forward and slashed his Qi-imbued sword in the direction of the Evil Aura.     

At the same time, Tian Feibai and Xiao Wen also took action.     

Jiang Yu was the only one who moved slightly slower.    

As the attack fell, the originally empty place suddenly revealed the ghostly figure of the monster.

The battle unfolded in an instant.

On the roof, Shen Changqing silently watched the four people besiege the monster, without any intention of intervening.

With his eyesight, he could naturally tell who had the upper hand.

“A Ghost Level monster must be attached to an object. Otherwise, it would dissipate and die after a certain period of time. Once the object was destroyed, its strength will also be affected to a certain extent.”

“They shouldn’t have a problem dealing with the monster now.”

Shen Changqing was calm.

The monster was already injured by Su Qin beforehand. With the fire added into the mix, it’s strength was significantly restrained.

As expected, the battle didn’t last long, and the monster was killed by Xu Yi’s sword.

At the moment when the monster was beheaded, Shen Changqing discovered a familiar feeling pouring into his body.

When he looked at the panel, he saw that his Killing Value went from 7 to 10.

“My Killing Value has increased by three points…”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

It was the first time that he had obtained Killing Value while simply watching on the side, as a monster was killed.

In the past, Shen Changqing wasn’t sure whether the Killing Value provided by the monster he killed would be any different from the ones killed by others.

But now— he could be sure.

That was, the monster he personally killed would give more Killing Value, while the latter gave very little.

Take that monster for example.

A monster at the peak of the middle stage of the Ghost Level should have given Shen Changqing at least 8 to 10 Killing Value.

However, he only got three.

That was to say, he could only get about one-third of the original Killing Value if he didn’t kill the monster himself.

“It seems that I have to do the killing myself.”

Shen Changqing sighed.

Losing two-thirds of the total Killing Value was significant.

Nonetheless, it was still a decent harvest. Considering the fact that he practically didn’t do anything.

The three Killing Value points made it so he had enough to upgrade one level of his Martial Art.

Shen Changqing then saw Xu Yi and others quietly retreat after beheading the monster.

The Government Officials also came back and began to put out the fire.

Without staying for too long, Shen Changqing also left from the roof.

Now that Xu Yi and the group had already killed the monster, their mission was completed. They just need to return to the Demon Suppression Division. But that was not his responsibility.

Currently, Shen Changqing was walking on the street. He could hear the people around him discussing matters.

Many were shocked and curious about the fire that burned the Zhou Family’s Ancestral house to ruins.

At this time, after putting out the fire, Constable Liu announced with a deep voice, “The fire was an order from the Excellencies of the Demon Suppression Division, in order to kill the monster. Now, the monster has finally been beheaded!” 

Hearing this, smiles of relief appeared on the people’s faces.

Whether the Zhou Family’s Ancestral house was burned down or not, had little to do with them.

The most important thing was that the monster inside was dead. This was the real important thing.

Now, they could be at ease.

Looking at the sky, Shen Changqing originally planned to go to the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion, but after thinking about it, he temporarily dismissed the idea.

The Heavenly Inspection Guard could check it out by themselves.

Anyway, he would only need to take action once something was found.

Therefore, Shen Changqing went straight back to Tianyi Lou.

In his room, Shen Changqing sat cross-legged. He first took out a bottle of Satiety Pills, swallowed four, and then checked the panel.

With a thought, his Killing Value was consumed and the [Impregnable Golden Body] was upgraded to Level 7.

With a huge energy consumption, the four Satiety Pills he just ate were quickly consumed.

In the end, Shen Changqing had to eat more Satiety Pills.

___________________________

After using eight Killing Value points, the [Impregnable Golden Body] had successfully broken through to Level 7.

After a successful breakthrough, Shen Changqing found that his Qi and blood became more abundant. His skin became tougher, as if some kind of transformation was slowly taking place.

“The Qi and blood generated by the Level 7 [Impregnable Golden Body] is almost enough for the upgrade of the [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi].”

“The next time I get Killing Value, I should focus on improving the [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi].”

There was not much improvement in strength by Cultivating External Martial Arts. Hence, Internal Martial Arts was the main direction of Martial Artists.

The Level 14 [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi] was considered to be at the peak of the Innate Realm.

Shen Changqing wanted to know that if he raised his [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi] to Level 15, would it be possible for him to step into the Grandmaster Realm?

If he really did enter the Grandmaster Realm, his strength will usher in a big transformation.

“Alright, as long as I kill another Ghost Level monster, I will be able to get enough Killing Value to break through. By that time, I might be able to truly reach the Grandmaster Realm.”

Shen Changqing didn’t dwell on the matter any more and resolved himself.

He didn’t carry a lot of satiety pills, or qi and blood pills. After all, there were a lot of pills, so it would be a little inconvenient to carry them all.

He could just get the resources he needs in the Demon Suppression Division.

Calming his mind, Shen Changqing re-entered the state of Cultivation.

At night, after the fire burned the Zhou Family’s Ancestral house into ruins.

At this moment, a man in black robe stood amidst the ruins of the Zhou Family’s Ancestral house. With the help of the moonlight, one could see a gloomy middle-aged face.

“[email protected] it, I came a step late. It actually got killed by that rubbish Demon Suppression Division!”

He never thought that the monster he had left in the Zhou Family’s Ancestral house would be killed by the Demon Suppression Division so quickly.

Looking at the ruins in front of him, the black-robed man’s chest brewed with Killing Intent.

“But it doesn’t matter, a thing that can be killed by a few Apprentice Slayers is considered trash. Nothing I can do if it’s gone. Anyways, it just so happens that I have a more suitable sacrifice, jie~ jie~!” 

""

A cold laughter rang in the ruins, making people shudder after hearing it.

Evil Aura swept over and the black-robed man moved violently. His dry palm went out from the black robe and captured the neck of a ghostly woman.

Being held by the neck, the woman’s face turned pale. She couldn’t do anything, but struggle.

Being held hard, the woman let out a shrill scream. Her body then spread out like smoke, and disappeared without a trace.

The man in black robe retracted his palm, and said in a sinister voice: “I have no intention of opposing the Eternal Life Alliance, so I hope you will not interfere in my affairs. Otherwise, I will personally tear you apart.” 

As soon as he said this, Evil Aura surged.

The difference was that the Evil Aura this time did not get close to the man in black, instead it gradually moved away.
