Chen Fei searched the two of them and only found some copper coins. A light drizzle began to fall from the sky. Chen Fei looked at his surroundings and ran toward the southeast.

As night fell, the fragrance of meat filled the air in a dilapidated temple, occasionally accompanied by voices of conversation.

It was rumored that there was once an omnipotent immortal on Mount Pingyin who could overturn rivers and seas, and a temple was built on Mount Pingyin. However, this temple wasn’t very effective.

After only a few years, it was completely abandoned and became a place for people to stay overnight on Mount Pingyin temporarily.

Chen Fei carefully flipped the rabbit meat on the branch. His luck was not bad, and he managed to get a rabbit. At this moment, a few workers in the medical hall were chatting while glancing at the rabbit meat from time to time. Their eyes were filled with desire.

There was no fish or meat in the medical hall. If they wanted to eat meat, they had to go out and buy it themselves. However, with their wages, they couldn’t even afford to eat meat once a month.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

A knock sounded on the door, and one of the workers went forward to open the door. As the cold wind blew in, Chen Fei subconsciously looked outside the door. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he retracted his gaze.

“Great. There’s rabbit meat. I’m starving.” Qi Chun saw the roasted rabbit and couldn’t help but rejoice.

“Just you? I thought the others were with you.” The worker who opened the door looked outside and could not help but ask curiously.

“I don’t know either.” Qi Chun shook his head and sat on the ground, looking at the almost-cooked rabbit meat.

“Crackle!”

There was still water vapor in the firewood, and at this moment, it emitted a slight explosive sound.

Qi Chun seemed to feel that it was a little too quiet, so he said, “Guess what happened to me today? After you hear this, I guarantee that you’ll say that I’m good!”

“What is it? Tell us.” The other workers were intrigued.

“There’s no rush. I just happen to have something to say as well,” Chen Fei suddenly said, “Do you know how I managed to catch this rabbit today? ”

Everyone couldn’t help but turn to look at Chen Fei. The tempting fragrance of meat wafted into their noses, making them feel more and more restless.

Chen Fei stood up and looked at everyone. “Rabbits are quick-witted. They will immediately run away at the slightest sign of trouble. Therefore, when you see the rabbit, don’t make a sound and slowly approach it. Then…”

“Tsk!”

A bright light flashed in the ruined temple. Qi Chun looked at Chen Fei in a daze. In the next moment, Qi Chun’s head rolled off his shoulders and onto the ground.

“Ah!”

The other workers cried out in shock and looked at Chen Fei in disbelief. Chen Fei had killed someone right in front of them.

Most importantly, they had no idea why Chen Fei wanted to kill Qi Chun. This was the most terrifying thing.

Chen Fei didn’t say anything. He looked at Qi Chun’s neck, and it didn’t look like how a normal decapitated body should look like.

“Everyone, run!”

Chen Fei shouted loudly. Before he left, he used a chopper to pick up the money bag at Qi Chun’s waist and rushed out of the dilapidated temple without looking back.

“Kekeke!”

A peal of dark laughter echoed in the ruined temple. The other workers seemed to have woken up from a dream. When they saw the headless body standing up on its own, they immediately understood something was amiss and ran out of the ruined temple with fear on their faces.

Chen Fei’s expression was solemn. He didn’t expect that he would really run into a monster on Mount Pingyin. Fortunately, he had broken through to the Skin Toughening Realm during the day, which allowed him to sense this kind of evil aura to some extent.

Otherwise, if he had continued to stay in the dilapidated temple, he had no idea what would’ve happened later.

The most important thing now was to return to Pingyin County overnight. In Pingyin County, strange things rarely happened, and it was rumored that there was a treasure suppressed in the county government office.

Chen Fei didn’t know if it was true or not. Now, he only wanted to hurry back so that it would be safer.

“Chen Fei, my neck hurts. That slash of yours hurt me so much!”

A faint voice came from behind, and Chen Fei’s expression changed. Wasn’t it said that after practicing martial arts, one’s vitality would be exuberant, and the evil things would chase after others with weaker vitality first?

How did it come to him so quickly! Unless all the other workers were dead?

Chen Fei ran with all his might. After reaching the Skin Toughening realm, his physical strength and speed had greatly increased. If it were an ordinary person chasing after him, he would’ve shaken them off by now. However, no matter how Chen Fei ran, the cold aura behind him kept pulling at him.

“The Extreme Mountain Fist Hall said that a warrior’s Qi and blood can fight against the evil entity. But now that I have reached a certain cultivation level, I know very little about how to mobilize my blood and energy..”

Chen Fei looked at the interface, which showed that he had yet to learn the Extreme Mountain Fist. At the same time, he took out Qi Chun’s money bag. There were actually more than two taels of silver inside, which was really beyond Chen Fei’s expectations.

“Interface, simplify Extreme Mountain Fist!”

“Simplifying Extreme Mountain Fist… Simplification successful… Extreme Mountain Fist, Waving Hands!”

Waving his hand?

Before Chen Fei could understand what he meant by waving his hand, the comprehension of the Extreme Mountain Fist suddenly appeared in Chen Fei’s mind. Moreover, all kinds of insights came at an extremely fast speed.

Chen Fei instinctively looked at the interface.

[Cultivation Technique: Extreme Mountain Fist (Beginner 23/100)]

In the blink of an eye, the number 23 became 24 and continued to jump up. Chen Fei looked at his arms, which were swinging vigorously as he ran, realizing that the simplification was as effective as the breathing technique.

“Chen Fei, do you know where my head went?”

Qi Chun’s voice sounded directly behind Chen Fei’s ear. It was as if he was right next to Chen Fei’s back. He could even feel the air that exhaled as he spoke.

Chen Fei’s expression changed, and he threw a punch backward. The various mysteries of the Extreme Mountain Fist circulated in his mind, and the temperature of Chen Fei’s fist rose rapidly.

“Bang!”

A muffled sound rang out as Qi Chun screamed. The place where his chest had been hit was now charred black.

“I stand a chance against it!”

Chen Fei’s eyes lit up slightly. He didn’t run away. Instead, he held a chopper and charged at Qi Chun.

After learning the basics of the Extreme Mountain Fist, Chen Fei already roughly understood the usage of Qi and blood. At this moment, he injected it into the chopper in his hand. With a few slashes, Qi Chun’s limbs were cleanly severed.

“How can you be so strong!”

Qi Chun screamed miserably, but Chen Fei’s expression remained unchanged as he continued to swing his chopper.

“Don’t kill me. If you kill me, you won’t be able to survive either!”

Chen Fei’s movements paused slightly. Qi Chun was definitely just a small fry. There might really be something evil behind it. However, if he did not kill Qi Chun now, would Qi Chun spare him?

“Stop! I’ll tell you how to survive!”

Qi Chun shouted, but what greeted him was Chen Fei’s blade.

At first, Qi Chun could still shout, but as his flesh melted, he could no longer say anything. At a certain moment, Chen Fei, who was swinging his blade mechanically, discovered that Qi Chun had already turned into a pile of ashes.

“So this is how we kill the evil things!”

Chen Fei muttered to himself. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his wrist. Chen Fei raised his wrist, and a thin black line appeared there.

Chen Fei did not have time to think about the sudden appearance of this thin line as he ran toward Pingyin County.

It was an hour later before Chen Fei finally saw the city walls of Pingyin County.
