I Can Extract Divine Power-Chapter 70: Slaying the Evil Beast, 2 Wisps of Evil Qi

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Slaying the Evil Beast, 2 Wisps of Evil Qi

Shen Bai wasn’t the only one who saw what was happening in the passage; many other Jianghu People saw it as well.

The figure slowly came into focus, and the sound of footsteps grew clearer as it approached from a distance.

When the figure stepped out of the passage, everyone instinctively tightened their grips on their weapons.

It was a tiger, over three meters long. The beast had a striped hide, but right now, its eyes were glowing with a blood-red light.

The glow was like two blood-red moons, enough to make one’s blood run cold.

What was even more bizarre was that the tiger’s chest and abdomen were devoid of striped fur and flesh. In their place was nothing but exposed bone.

One half of its torso was visible, withered bone, while the other half was normal flesh and blood, creating a terrifying and grotesque sight.

Seeing this, Qin Shuang exclaimed, "It’s an Evil Beast that’s become an aberration."

’An Evil Beast?’

Seeing that the tiger showed no sign of attacking and was just pacing nearby, Shen Bai turned and asked, "What is an Evil Beast?"

Qin Shuang stared warily at the tiger and said slowly, "The Daoist School has a concept called Auspicious Beasts. Many Daoist powers raise them to serve as guardians. Each Auspicious Beast is nurtured with various Elixirs and refined by special Daoist Skills, making them stronger than ordinary wild animals."

"Wild Daoist Techniques were used to corrupt them, creating Evil Beasts."

"They eat human flesh and drink human blood. Worse, they even mate with humans. Not only are they quite powerful, but they also have extremely violent tempers and an intense lust for slaughter."

At this, Qin Shuang fell silent.

The reason was simple: the Evil Beast was on the move.

Its red-glowing eyes seemed to have locked onto its enemies, sweeping over everyone present.

A frigid aura emanated from the Evil Beast, causing the temperature in the chamber to plummet in an instant.

"ROAR!"

The Evil Beast became a blur as it pounced on the nearest Jianghu Person.

The Jianghu Person reacted in a flash, but he wasn’t as fast as the Evil Beast. In a moment of crisis, he could only raise his weapon to block his chest.

The Evil Beast’s claws tore through the weapon, snapping it in two. Its momentum unchecked, its claws plunged straight through the man’s chest.

Blood splattered. With a look of defiance in his eyes, the Jianghu Person collapsed to the ground.

’It’s so strong,’ Shen Bai thought, his brow furrowed.

In terms of both power and Speed, among all the enemies Shen Bai had encountered, perhaps only the Five Heart Sect Leader could compare.

Moreover, the Evil Beast was a bestial aberration. Its killing instinct, combined with its unnatural state, made it a notch stronger than even the Five Heart Sect Leader.

A glint of excitement appeared in Shen Bai’s eyes.

’If that’s the case, this Evil Beast likely holds more than a single wisp of Evil Qi.’

As Shen Bai was thinking this, the Evil Beast charged toward the other Jianghu People.

The first death put the other Jianghu People on high alert.

They engaged the Evil Beast in a chaotic melee. The beast’s claws were like Divine Weapons; any Weapons that met them were instantly shattered to pieces by the force of the impact.

Having lost their Weapons, the Jianghu People were instantly at a great disadvantage, while the Evil Beast’s claws proved to be the deadliest blades of all.

"Spread out, spread out!"

Many of the Jianghu People scattered to the sides.

Chief Zheng and his men also joined the fight.

He was in the Three Treasures Realm, and he still had power to spare against this Evil Beast. He steadily gained the upper hand, even starting to overwhelm the creature.

For a moment, Chief Zheng’s intervention drastically reduced the pressure of the fight.

Shen Bai glanced from side to side, then raised his fist.

’This is an aberration, but it’s also a source of Evil Qi. If someone else kills it, that Evil Qi won’t be mine. I’m not about to let it slip away.’

A golden Fist Gang shot out from his body, bypassed Chief Zheng, and struck the Evil Beast squarely on the head.

The Evil Beast let out a pained roar and was sent flying, tumbling several times across the ground.

Chief Zheng and the others whipped their heads around, staring at Shen Bai in astonishment.

Even though he had seen Shen Bai fight before, the shock he felt was different every single time.

’Doesn’t he have his Swordsmanship, and that blood-red Sword Qi? So what’s the deal with this Fist Technique?’

Chief Zheng’s mind reeled with shock and confusion.

He felt as though Shen Bai were a living Treasure Chest, always revealing some new, incredible surprise.

Shen Bai paid them no mind. In his eyes, there was only the Evil Qi.

After taking a few steps forward, Shen Bai’s fists flew out like the wind.

Golden Buddha’s Light illuminated the chamber. The terrifying light fell upon the Evil Beast, and in less than a single breath, it was turned to black smoke by the dreadful Fist Gang, unable to even resist.

Two wisps of Evil Qi were absorbed by Shen Bai.

Added to the ten wisps he had left, he had once again accumulated twelve wisps of Evil Qi.

’This trip was definitely worth it.’

The look of excitement in Shen Bai’s eyes faded.

With the death of the Evil Beast, the frigid air in the chamber swiftly dissipated.

Soon, the temperature in the chamber returned to normal.

The surrounding Jianghu People now looked at Shen Bai with a trace of reverence.

The power he’d displayed with that instantaneous kill made them clearly understand the situation.

’Master Xuanqing ain’t shit. Compared to this guy, Master Xuanqing is a nobody.’

’A prodigy? Top expert of the younger generation? Not even a dog would believe that crap!’

Such thoughts surfaced in the minds of many of the Jianghu People.

But Shen Bai paid them no mind. Instead, he looked at Qin Shuang and asked, "This seems a bit too easy."

’The first Array was interesting,’ Shen Bai mused. ’It separated everyone and drastically reduced their numbers.’

’It was clearly well thought out.’

’The second, the glowing Talisman, was meant to provoke greed and make people fight over the Deceitful Object. It was another method for culling the numbers, one that exploited human nature.’

’That was also well done,’ Shen Bai thought.

’But this third one, the Evil Beast, was laughably simple in my opinion.’

The corner of Qin Shuang’s mouth twitched. "That’s only for you. If you weren’t here, it would have taken a great deal of effort for the rest of us to deal with that Evil Beast."

She was speaking the truth. Many of the sharp-eared Jianghu People who overheard her nodded in agreement.

This was supposed to be a great Daoist School tomb, but then a master from a whole different league showed up and completely trivialized the challenge. Who could possibly compete with that?

Qin Shuang looked toward the pitch-black corridor and said, "The appearance of an Evil Beast probably means the real tomb is just below."

Shen Bai asked, "Why? Explain."

"According to the typical layout of a Daoist School tomb, there’s usually an Evil Beast guarding the core. It’s a standard practice. I speculate that the true core of the tomb lies below us."

Shen Bai considered this for a moment, and the white light of his Bright Jade Evil Body flared to life.

Puzzled, Qin Shuang watched as Shen Bai started walking toward the corridor.

Shen Bai’s calm voice echoed through the chamber.

"I’ve had enough fun. Time to see what’s really down there."
