Chapter 10 Slaying Corpses

Xu Yan withdrew his gaze, returned to the bedside and sat down, gently stroking the rusty longsword.

Magistrate Zhang ordered Constable Chen to come and wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump, but Constable Chen left the back door wide open, and it's easy to guess why.

"The Wang family's influence has indeed spread throughout Anping County."

Xu Yan pondered for a moment, closed his eyes, concentrated, and waited patiently.

He originally thought that nothing bad would happen tonight, but with Constable Chen's arrangements, something bad is definitely going to happen tonight.

Outside the door, the constables' movements were intermittent.

A gust of wind came through the window, making the window paper rustle.

As the night grew darker, accompanied by the sound of a night watchman's drum, Xu Yan suddenly opened his eyes and drew his long sword.

"They're here."

"Whoosh!"

The sound of a sword being drawn was exceptionally clear in the darkness.

Xu Yan's gaze swept across the front and landed on the window behind him, a chill running down his back.

A figure appeared behind the window, seemingly looking inside.

Behind the figure was a large, blurry black shadow.

"More than one came."

Xu Yan took a deep breath, quietly disappeared into the shadows, and kept a close eye on the movement at the window.

"puff!"

With a muffled thud, the paper window was torn open by a withered hand.

The hand was bloodless, as pale as paper, but the fingernails were as black as mud.

Immediately afterwards, the window paper was completely torn to shreds, and the carved window frame also shattered, scattering all over the ground.

Under the moonlight, five withered figures gradually appeared.

Their faces were pale and contorted, their eyes were bloodshot, and they emitted low growls from their throats.

The moment Xu Yan saw these five figures, a wisp of smoke appeared before his eyes, condensing into words.

[A blood corpse created using secret methods]

[Hidden Information: Qi and Blood Power (After consumption, it can slightly increase Qi and Blood, and also slightly enhance True Qi)]

[Extraction condition: Slay the Blood Corpse]

The conditions are very simple, so simple that no analysis is needed.

Xu Yan hid in the shadows, staring at the five blood-soaked corpses, but felt no fear.

On the contrary, he was also somewhat excited.

Having first gained supernatural powers and then acquired a cheat code, he is now truly experiencing the extraordinary aspects of this world and yearns to see more.

The danger he faces now is that it becomes a stepping stone for him to reach a higher level.

"Hehe..."

The blood-red corpse stepped into the house, growling as it searched the room with its blood-red eyes.

Suddenly, one of the blood-soaked corpses abruptly turned towards where Xu Yan was hiding, transforming into a blur as it pounced forward.

It's so fast that ordinary people can't even react.

If an ordinary person encountered this, they would have no power to resist.

Ke Xuyan is no ordinary person.

Xu Yan took a deep breath and swung his sword.

The glint of the blade flashed in the darkness, meeting the cold moonlight, exuding a chilling and murderous intent.

The mysterious female energy transformed into a sharp blade aura, bursting forth from the blade's edge and aimed directly at the blood corpse's neck.

"laugh!"

The sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out, and the blood-covered corpse's head fell to the ground, motionless.

A wisp of crimson aura emanated from the corpse and entered Xu Yan's body.

[Reward Received: A Wisp of Blood Energy]

"Four bodies remain."

Xu Yan did not stop and swung his long sword again.

Four blood-soaked corpses pounced on him, but Xu Yan was not afraid at all and instead faced them head-on.

The three strikes that break through the barrier are each stronger than the last.

That was only the first cut; there will be two more cuts to come.

When the second strike was unleashed, Xu Yan manipulated the sword energy to leave his body, transforming it into a long-range slash that struck the blood corpse's chest.

The blood corpse at the front was struck as if by a heavy blow, flying backward and knocking over the blood corpses behind it.

[Reward Received: A Wisp of Blood Energy]

"The third cut."

Xu Yan's sword strikes continued unabated, followed by a third strike.

This is the most powerful of the three sword strikes that break through the barrier.

Amidst the crisscrossing blade energy, the two blood-soaked corpses that lunged at him were struck by the blade energy and split in two at the chest.

[Reward Received: Two strands of Qi and Blood Power]

At that moment, the blood corpse that had been knocked away staggered to its feet.

Xu Yan felt an emptiness within his body, as half of his Xuanpin Qi had vanished.

"Ultimately, the mental techniques are still lacking."

Xu Yan sighed inwardly and swung his final blade.

The lunging blood-soaked corpse was struck by the blade's light, cut in two from head to toe by Xu Yan's single stroke.

[Reward Received: A Wisp of Blood Energy]

Within the body, five blood-red auras emerged from the space created by the golden finger.

Xu Yan stood holding the knife, his face slightly pale.

Fighting five blood corpses alone was quite taxing, even for him.

But Xu Yan was even more excited.

Because that's what he wanted.

To come into contact with another side of the world, and then gradually move upwards until you stand at the pinnacle of the world.

"The commotion has stopped. Come inside with me and protect Coroner Xu."

Outside the door came the voice of Constable Chen.

"Snapped!"

The door was kicked open by Constable Chen.

Officer Chen had already prepared to collect the body, but when he saw the situation inside the house, he froze on the spot.

Not only him, but also the constables who followed all had expressions of disbelief.

The room was dimly lit, and Xu Yan stood alone, holding a knife.

In front of Xu Yan were five mangled corpses.

Black blood snaked across the ground, and a silent wind swept by, making the constables shiver as they looked at Xu Yan's back as he held a knife.

Is this... is this still the same coroner who took bribes?

When did he acquire such skills?

The constables were horrified, and a hint of fear crept into their eyes as they looked at Xu Yan.

If one had known Xu Yan's abilities beforehand, then everything would have been normal.

The fact that Xu Yan only revealed his talent now proves that he had been hiding his abilities before.

This level of strength, coupled with such a patient and restrained nature, is truly terrifying.

"Coroner Xu, are you alright?"

Officer Chen approached, feigning concern: "We rushed over as soon as we heard the commotion, but we were still a step too late."

"However, the fact that Coroner Xu fought the blood corpse alone truly surprised this constable. It turns out that Coroner Xu is a highly skilled person who has been hiding his abilities."

Arriving?

What a load of crap!

Xu Yan sneered inwardly, but calmly sheathed his sword: "Five mere blood corpses, killing them is a piece of cake, how could anything happen?"

Officer Chen blurted out instinctively, "Really?"

Xu Yan calmly sat down on the edge of the bed: "If Officer Chen doesn't believe me, why don't you try it yourself?"

A cold glint flashed in Constable Chen's eyes.

He did indeed have murderous intent just now.

If Xu Yan were to show signs of weakness at this moment, he might take the opportunity to strike.

But Xu Yan in front of him seemed to be breathing steadily, showing no signs of exhaustion, and he couldn't figure out his strength.

The person who had killed five blood corpses in a short period of time must have used some extraordinary methods, and he dared not take the risk.

Otherwise, being exposed is a minor matter compared to losing one's life.

"Coroner Xu is joking. Why would I go and try?"

Constable Chen concealed his expression: "Men, clean this up. Coroner Xu, let's go back to the yamen together and report this to Lord Zhang, shall we?"

Several constables rushed forward to clear the area.

Xu Yan raised his hand to signal, "Let's go."

As Constable Chen watched Xu Yan's retreating figure, his eyes grew even colder, while inwardly cursing Master Wang.

That damned Master Wang, what kind of monster did he make him deal with?!
