Fantasy: I can equip everything

Wu Lao Er grew up on the streets and had been stabbed countless times.

But this cut was completely different.

The wound was less than a finger's length long, and not even a few drops of blood flowed out.

But a sharp, intense pain swept through my entire body in an instant.

In that instant, under the intense pain, he even forgot to breathe, his face turning purple and blue.

It took him four or five breaths before he began to breathe heavily.

His body trembled incessantly, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Suppressing the pain, he raised his head and looked at the figure in front of him, so different from the one he used to see.

"You're asking for it!!!"

"I'm already a member of the Canal Gang, how can you treat me like this... Ah!!!!"

Before the threatening words could be uttered, a flash of light appeared, and Wu Lao Er had a new wound on his body.

Chen Chuang toyed with the boning knife in his hand, a sinister glint in his eyes.

Holding a boning knife, Wu Lao Er in his eyes was covered with various colored spots.

In some places, penetrating even an inch into the flesh can cause fatal damage.

In some places, even if you pierce through it, it won't cause any major problems.

In other places, there are countless tiny nerves; a single cut won't kill you.

But it can cause unbearable pain.

"The canal gang can't save you now!"

Chen Chuang shook his head and swung the knife in his hand again.

This time, a piece of flesh was chopped off Wu Lao Er's shoulder.

"Hmm..."

Wu Lao Er was like a fish that was being cut up before it was even dead, his eyes rolled back and his body trembling.

A moment later, he caught his breath and looked up, his eyes filled with resentment.

He grinned and squeezed out a sentence from his blood-stained teeth.

"You dog... Ah!!!"

With a single slash, Chen Chuang shook his head slightly.

"I ask! You answer!"

"I don't have much time."

Wu Lao Er roared and struggled.

But no matter what, they couldn't escape the terrifying boning knife.

His body was slashed open repeatedly.

Gradually, his roar turned into a wail.

The wailing turned into pleading.

"Master Chuang! I beg you, spare my life, I'll give you anything!"

"Please, what do you want to know?"

"Go ahead and ask, you fucking idiot!!!"

Wu Lao Er's clothes were soaked with blood as he wailed and begged for mercy.

Chen Chuang then stopped.

He was silent for a moment, then asked, "What is the origin of this curse I bear?"

Seeing that Chen Chuang had stopped, Wu Lao Er breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly afraid that the other party would continue to torture him, and quickly said:

"A few days ago, after I joined the Canal Gang, I was given a blood jade bracelet and told to use it to deal with someone."

"They say this bracelet contains terrifying power; any unmarried man who touches it, no matter who he is, will be led to the underworld by the ghost bride."

"I kept it at home, intending to deal with you before taking care of other matters."

"I never expected that you would take it."

"An unmarried man who touches the Blood Jade Bracelet will surely die! That's why I wasn't in a hurry to find you; I planned to retrieve the Blood Jade Bracelet after you died..."

Chen Chuang frowned upon hearing this.

There was indeed such a period in the original owner's memories.

Not long ago, Wu Lao Er discovered that the original owner of the body had cheated on him, and he has been chasing after him ever since.

The original owner was incredibly audacious; instead of hiding in the shadows, he...

Instead, taking advantage of Wu Lao Er's absence, he went to find Jinlian again.

Before leaving, he saw the blood jade bracelet on the table and took it without hesitation.

He had intended to sell it to vent his anger, but to his surprise, the blood jade bracelet disappeared as soon as he stepped out of Wu Lao Er's house.

The original owner didn't pay much attention, patted his butt, and left.

But now that I think about it, the blood jade bracelet had clearly merged into my body and become the curse of the ghost bride.

Thinking of this, Chen Chuang sighed helplessly.

The original owner brought this huge trouble upon himself.

He shook his head and asked directly, "Then how do we lift this curse?"

Wu Lao Er opened his mouth, then lowered his head somewhat guiltily.

Swish!

The next moment, the boning knife slashed across, ripping a chunk of flesh off his shoulder.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

"Damn it! Chen Chuang, you son of a bitch... Stop! Stop! I'll talk!!!"

Wu Lao Er's face was deathly pale, and his teeth trembled as he said, "This curse cannot be broken!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chuang stopped talking and swiftly brought down his knife.

Blood pooled on the ground.

After wailing a few times, Wu Lao Er fell silent.

Chen Chuang finally stopped, looked at the other person, and said, "Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Wu Lao Er slowly raised his head and grinned.

Blood streamed from between his teeth, and his tongue was bitten raw. He slurred, "Heh heh, that big shot from the Canal Gang said that no one can break the curse of the Ghost Bride!"

"From the previous dynasty to the present, over thousands of years, those who died tragically due to the curse of the Blood Jade Bracelet include prodigies from major martial arts sects, generals guarding a region, powerful governors, and princes of noble blood..."

"These important figures, being targeted by the ghost bride, can only rely on rare and precious herbs and elixirs to buy time."

"Even so, the longest they survived was only a year!"

"They all didn't survive, so what makes you think you, a nobody from a muddy alley, have the right to?"

Chen Chuang remained silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "What kind of rare and precious medicinal herbs and elixirs?"

Wu Lao Er spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Spiritual herbs that are at least a hundred years old, and Qi and Blood Pills refined by alchemists of the fourth rank or above. There may not be many of these things in the entire Qinghe County."

"But among those big shots, there are many who are very wealthy. These things that we cherish so much, they can eat as food."

"However, even the best elixirs and precious pills will lose their effectiveness if consumed in excess!"

At this point, a glint of madness flashed in Wu Lao Er's eyes, and he laughed maniacally:

"Hahaha, Chen Chuang! I'll be waiting for you on the road to the underworld!"

After saying that, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit off his own tongue.

He then coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.

Chen Chuang did not stop him.

She simply watched quietly as the light in the other person's eyes slowly faded.

Wu Lao Er had already told him everything he wanted to know.

He, as the lowest-ranking clerk, probably didn't know any more information.

Perhaps we need to find that important figure in the Grand Canal Gang to learn more.

At least Chen Chuang now knows the direction for the next step.

Get some rare herbs, and rely on their medicinal properties to replenish your blood and prolong your life.

I don't know if I can equip those spiritual herbs and pills in this equipment slot.

If possible, the effect should be better than swallowing it directly, and it might even last longer than others.

The way to completely break the curse...

Chen Chuang looked at the boning knife in his hand and gripped it tightly.

A small knife can increase his strength so much.

Other things certainly play a greater role.

As long as he finds something stronger and keeps equipping himself.

Continuously improve our strength.

Stand at the pinnacle of this world!

With enough power, he refused to believe that the curse of a ghost bride couldn't be broken!

But now, he has to go and receive Wu Lao Er's inheritance.

Just as Chen Chuang reached the entrance of the courtyard, he suddenly heard a shout.

"Chuang...Brother Chuang??"

Turning my head, I saw two dark figures appear in the darkness on the other side of the street.

A man with a limp was giving directions.

Another person helped him move forward.

The two also brought their own "weapons".

The blind mouse was holding a stone.

I wonder if his gaze is even capable of hitting anyone.

The lame monkey was more ruthless, and he brought along a rusty little sickle.

However, in his hands, this thing seemed to serve more as a crutch.

The scene was somewhat comical.

But Chen Chuang did not laugh.

"Brother Chuang! Wait for us, let's go in and find Wu Lao Er together!"

When they reached Chen Chuang, Blind Mouse and Lame Monkey saw the corpse lying in a pool of blood and trembled.

Even so, she gritted her teeth and wanted to follow Chen inside.

Chen Chuang remained silent for a moment, then sighed.

"No!"

"It's almost dawn, you guys need to deal with these two corpses."

After saying that, he turned to go inside.

But then, as if remembering something, she paused and said:

"And don't forget about Wu Lao Er's body on the street behind!"

The blind mouse and the lame monkey were stunned.

That Wu Lao Er, is he dead?

The two looked at each other, somewhat bewildered, standing in the darkness.

Is it because of the pressure of a life-or-death crisis?

The Chuang Ge before me is completely different from before.

Decisive, composed, and remarkably calm even after committing murder.

The old Chen Chuang would tremble for half a day even if he got into a fight.

However, their doubts were immediately overwhelmed by a surge of joy.

Wu Lao Er is dead.

He died at the hands of Chen Chuang.

Does that mean that the muddy alley is now their territory?

Maybe in the future, we'll be able to eat white flour steamed buns every day!

The two men felt a surge of excitement when they recalled how arrogant Wu Lao Er had been.

Full of enthusiasm, they immediately began cleaning up the corpses on the ground.

If it's placed elsewhere, it will be difficult to handle if someone dies.

But in this muddy alley, it's not much harder than throwing away trash.

As the two began to get busy, Chen Chuang entered the courtyard.

squeak~

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, Chen Chuang bumped into Jinlian, who was carrying a large bundle.

"Brother Chuang..."

Jinlian smiled awkwardly and subconsciously began to back away.

Chen Chuang, expressionless, sat down at the round wooden table and gestured to the person opposite him, saying, "Sit!"

Jinlian swallowed hard and sat down shakily opposite Chen Chuang.

"Open!"

Chen Chuang's voice was calm, even somewhat gentle.

However, Jinlian dared not delay at all and quickly placed the package on the table and opened it.

Chen Chuang casually rummaged through the items and found that, apart from some changes of clothes, there was only a leather money pouch.

He took the money pouch, weighed it in his hand, and opened it for a glance.

He frowned immediately.

"Is this all of Wu Lao Er's possessions?"

Jinlian nodded: "Yes!"

"Why is there so little?"

There were less than ten taels of silver in the purse.

Ten taels of silver is a lot for the average person in Lanni Alley; it's enough to live on for four or five years.

But for Wu Lao Er, it was clearly too little.

Jinlian lowered her head, nervously saying, "Wu Lao Er just gave a hundred taels of silver to the Canal Gang a few days ago to become a core member and obtain the cultivation technique..."

Chen Chuang suddenly looked up and asked, "Where is the cultivation technique?"

Jinlian then seemed to remember something, and hurriedly ran to the bedroom next door, rummaged under the bed, and took out a book.

The moment Chen Chuang got his hands on the book, a notification sounded in his mind.
