Chapter 4 Martial Arts
Liu Mansion, in the study.

Liu Chengfeng looked gloomy. He looked at the man in front of him who was dressed in the style of Southern Xinjiang and questioned:

"Are you saying that the Dark Shadow Viper you controlled is missing? Could it be that there is something wrong with the way you control the monsters?"

"Impossible. That method was developed by our Southern Xinjiang team after spending countless resources. How could something go wrong so easily? It must have been done to someone." The skinny old man said firmly.

"But I can be sure that there has been no movement from the Demon Extermination Bureau these days." Liu Chengfeng frowned.

Some time ago, he started to cooperate with this visitor from southern Xinjiang who called himself the Old Man of a Hundred Poisons. The other party relied on the power of the Liu family to send monsters into the city, and the Liu family was able to control one of the other party's monsters.

Liu Chengfeng originally firmly believed that as long as some time passed, he would be able to use the power of the monsters under his control to raise the Liu family's status to a higher level.

However, they didn't expect that just a few days later, something unexpected happened to their plan.

In this regard, Baidu Elder proposed another possibility: "That is, an extraordinary person has come to Qinghe County."

Throughout Qinghe County, the only one who can kill that monster is the Monster Extermination Bureau.

Apart from this, the only possible option is a strong outsider.

"Outsider?" Liu Chengfeng tapped the desk with his fingers and was silent for a while before saying:

"In that case, then lie dormant for a while. When I get some good news, you can send another demon out to hunt for food."

The old man Baidu grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Don't worry, I know my limits."

"There is one more thing. I don't know why I haven't heard from Chen Xingzhi recently. Even the people I sent to deal with him haven't come back."

Liu Chengfeng looked at the old man, and the meaning was self-evident.

"According to the contract I signed with you, I will help you deal with this matter."

In order to continue to get the help of the Liu family, the old man Bai Du reluctantly agreed, "But I really don't understand, your Liu family is so big and powerful, why do you want to seize a small clinic?"

"This is my business. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Liu Chengfeng had a blank expression on his face and didn't explain anything.

Old Man Baidu saw that he wanted to see the guest off, so he planned to leave the study.

Just as he turned around, a shadow emerged from under the door, instantly expanded to a height of a person, and pounced straight towards him.

"What?" Old Man Baidu was shocked, but his years of combat training still allowed him to react subconsciously.

He took several steps back and narrowly avoided the shadow's attack. At the same time, his hands kept moving, grabbing a handful of gray powder from his pocket and throwing it at the shadow.

There was a hissing sound, and the shadow began to twist as if in pain.

"What is this thing?" Liu Chengfeng on the side also reacted and asked in a cold voice.

After sprinkling a handful of gray powder on the shadow and completely erasing it, the old man Bai Du replied, "It should be a shadow demon that split from a shadow demon."

"A shadow-type monster," Liu Chengfeng's face darkened, "Could it be the missing Dark Scale Shadow Viper?"

"It's not this one. I'm very familiar with its scent and I would definitely recognize it." The old man Bai Du shook his head.

Now neither of them dared to act rashly, let alone walk out of the study.

After all, no one dares to fight a shadow-like monster hiding in the dark at night.

"What should we do now?"

Liu Chengfeng said in a serious voice, "It's still a long time before dawn, but we may not be able to delay any longer."

"The only plan now is..." Before the old man Bai Du finished his words, he suddenly caught a glimpse of some strange movements in the shadows beside the wall, and then ice knives came out of it.

The ice knife flashed with a sharp cold light and was about to pierce into his body.

"Be careful!" At the critical moment, Liu Chengfeng pulled him away from the spot, so that the ice knives only scraped his body but did not hit the vital points.

"What kind of trick is this?" The old man Bai Du had just brushed past death, and before he could rejoice, he saw several shadows begin to move.

Then, ice knives and wind blades whizzed out from the shadows everywhere.

"It's over." This thought occurred to the old man Baidu.

Even if they reacted quickly, it would be impossible for them to dodge so many attacks.

"Damn it, this is the method of a Qi Refiner, it's Chen..." Liu Chengfeng suddenly thought of something and yelled.

But before he could finish the last few words, the surging attacks overwhelmed the two of them. In just a moment, the two were torn into two pieces of rotten meat.

Until their death, neither Liu Chengfeng nor Old Man Baidu saw the true face of the murderer.

[Kill the first-level Liu Chengfeng and the old man Bai Du, and gain 150 reincarnation points. ]

In a shadow somewhere, Chen Xingzhi walked out and looked at Liu Chengfeng's corpse, which looked like a monster, with a puzzled look on his face.

"That's what Liu Chengfeng said before he died. Could it be me?"

Before his death, Liu Chengfeng seemed to want to pass on some information, but unfortunately due to his interference, the sound in the study could not be transmitted.

Therefore, no one knew what he said except Chen Xingzhi.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Xingzhi suddenly thought of the possible reason why the Liu family wanted to acquire his clinic.

They may know that the clinic has a tradition of Qigong, namely "The Theory of Six Qi to Nourish the Spirit".

"Unfortunately, they don't know that even if they find it, they may get nothing."

If I didn't have a talent like mine, I would only read normal medical content in that book.

Just as he was thinking this, a prompt popped up in the reincarnation space:
[Complete the hidden mission: Find out the reason why the Liu family acquired the clinic, and get 500 reincarnation points.]

"Can this be considered as finding out the cause?" Chen Xingzhi was just guessing, but he didn't expect that he guessed it right and directly passed the judgment of the reincarnation space.

But it’s also good this way, I earned 500 reincarnation points for free.

Then he turned his gaze to another corpse and could tell at a glance that he was from southern Xinjiang.

"Nanjiang and Daqian don't get along. How did the Liu family get involved with him?"

Unable to figure it out, he simply started searching the two people.

No treasure chest dropped from Liu Chengfeng's body, nor was anything valuable found.

After all, as the head of the Liu family, he couldn't carry certain valuables at home.

As for the other one, Chen Xingzhi not only found a treasure chest on him, but also found many things with southern Xinjiang characteristics.

For example, poisonous insects, and some herbs and powders whose uses were unknown.

After putting these things away, Chen Xingzhi rubbed his hands and opened the treasure chest with some excitement.

[You opened the scarlet treasure chest and obtained the "Black Book of Witchcraft".]

The black book of witchcraft?

Chen Xingzhi raised his eyebrows and flipped through a few pages, only to discover that this book recorded all kinds of witchcraft techniques in southern Xinjiang, from raising witchcraft to sorcery.

"This trip is worth it." This thought came to his mind. This "Black Book of Witchcraft" alone was enough to make his trip pay for itself.

After putting away the "Black Book of Witchcraft", Chen Xingzhi turned his attention to the study and took out all the valuable things in it.

Before leaving, he set a fire in the study.

After all, when it comes to murder and arson, if you only kill people but don't set fire to them, it always feels like something is missing.

After summoning a strong wind to fan the flames, he merged into the shadows again, wandering around every corner of Liu's home, taking away whatever valuables he saw.

"This is the last one."

Chen Xingzhi glanced at the bulging sack and for the first time felt the joy of being a hamster.

It's a pity that he has no storage space, otherwise he could move more things.

Looking back at the Liu Mansion where flames were rising to the sky, Chen Xingzhi blended into the shadows, brushed past the people who had hurried over to put out the fire, and walked towards his own clinic.

After sneaking into the clinic through the gap in the window, he couldn't wait to take out the things in the sack one by one.

He planned to learn some martial arts techniques first to see if he could improve his weak body.

"Martial arts technique, let me see what's going on."

[You have triggered the talent "Elaborate and Well-informed".]
