"Boom!"

The black shovel of justice fell, the dead body lay on the ground, and Ke Shi’s sinful life was over.

It was visible to the naked eye that wrinkles quickly appeared on Keshi's face, and the skin became loose and dry, with many dark spots appearing. What was even more shocking was that her overall skin color was pale, which was obviously due to excessive use of arsenic for whitening.

The "beauty" maintained by evil methods revealed her true appearance after death.

This is a very ordinary woman who doesn’t even meet the standard of being “good-looking” and exhibits extremely unhealthy drug residues.

If you take a sip, your mouth will be full of arsenic. Not only a human but even a cow can't stand it.

This old witch not only has a vicious heart, but also an even more vicious face.

No wonder the man in the palace only reigned for seven years and left no children until his death.

He put the things in a yellow cloth bag and hung it around his waist. He casually threw an Ermahun token on the spot, picked up the big iron shovel, and left leisurely.

……

Outside Kyoto, the snow was already above the ankles.

The Jade King stumbled forward in the snow. The severe pain from his back almost made him faint, and blood kept flowing from his mouth.

Three corpse-suppressing nails pierced him through. If he hadn't had a few life-saving cards, he would have died on the spot.

At this time, he was already at the end of his strength, and escaping from the capital was almost his limit.

The assassin's strength was unfathomable. With just a wave of his hand, he suppressed the ghost that he had fed with countless human faces. The remaining ghost could not hold on for a while.

The three Dragon Guard eunuchs were defeated miserably, and he himself could not last more than three rounds. Prince Jade really couldn't figure out who this assassin was.

Ke Shi must be dead. Now that her backer has fallen, even if she is not killed by assassins if she stays in the capital, Feiyu King Shen Lian will never let her go, and the emperor will not forgive her either.

The good situation turned into a dead end overnight, and ten years of painstaking efforts were destroyed.

Right now, the only way for him to survive is to escape from the capital in time.

"Wow~"

After walking for a while, the Jade King could no longer hold on and stumbled and fell on the snow. Blood gushed out, staining the area red.

After struggling for a moment, he slowly sat up, tremblingly took out a black pill from his pocket, gritted his teeth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Soul-devouring Pill.

This is a kind of pill made by sacrificing and refining the soul ghost. It is a special pill for the ghost-swallowing sect. After taking it, it can devour and dissolve the seven souls of the human body, turning them into powerful ghost energy, which can temporarily double the strength of the soul ghost practitioner.

But... the price is also very high.

The seven souls are the main body. If the seven souls are devoured, the person will become a monster that is neither human nor corpse. The good skin will no longer be left. The living person will emit the stench of a corpse. No matter how much money is spent later, it cannot be compensated.

Therefore, this pill must not be taken unless it is a life-saving opportunity.

But the current situation does not allow the Jade King to hesitate.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Only if you survive will you have the opportunity to talk about other things.

His intuition told him that the assassin would not let him go easily.

The Soul-Devouring Pill slid into his stomach, transforming into an extremely cold current that surged through his body. Immediately afterwards, a stream of extremely pure ghostly energy emanated from every part of his body. Jade King instantly felt much better. He stood up and gave a powerful shake, knocking the three corpse-suppressing nails from his back out of his body before rapidly departing.

The Soul-Devouring Pill can only last for one stick of incense. After one stick of incense, he will be weaker than before he swallowed it.

The Jade King was flying at lightning speed, almost walking on the air, without leaving any mark on the snow.

This short stick of incense will determine whether he can escape the assassin's pursuit.

As for the goal, it is very clear.

There is an abandoned ancient temple thirty miles away from the capital, which is where his "herb-collecting minions" often stay when they come to Beijing.

The herbal medicine collectors are not only in the capital, but also spread across several northern provinces.

If you can encounter a few herbalist minions, the probability of escape will undoubtedly increase greatly.

After one stick of incense, the Jade King saw the ancient temple from afar.

The effect of the Soul-Devouring Pill rapidly faded, and the Jade King staggered closer and closer.

When he arrived at the entrance of the ancient temple, he almost fell to the ground, but to his surprise, there was fire inside the temple.

There is clearly someone there!

This ancient temple was abandoned due to a road diversion. No one would come here except for those who came to collect herbs. It is also very secluded as it is surrounded by dense forests.

The hope of escape made the Jade King muster up his last bit of strength, rush into the brake gate, and almost rolled in.

In the ancient temple hall, two people sat around a campfire, one fat and one thin. Judging from their breath, they were indeed herbalists from the sect of Swallowing Thief and Ghost Cultivator.

When the two men suddenly saw the Jade King rush in, their faces changed drastically, and ghostly aura lingered around them, ready to take action.

If Qin He were here, he would definitely recognize him.

It was the two minions under the "Barbarian Ghost" Xu Huaiqing who took the opportunity to escape during the confrontation between Qin He and Xu Huaiqing.

"Who are you?" the fat man shouted.

"Hurry up and tell me!" the thin man also shouted.

The Jade King lay on the ground, his mind racing.

These were obviously two of the lowest-level minions, whose subordinates were unknown. They were seriously injured, and if they rashly exposed their identities, it would be dangerous if the other party became covetous.

And there is no chance that such a little minion would get to know me.

So, he could only vaguely say: "Two big brothers, we are one family."

When the fat man and the thin man heard this, they were both stunned and looked at each other.

Then they all roared.

"Death to the traitor!"

"Again!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two men waved their hands, and two handkerchiefs with fang-shaped ghost faces rushed towards the Jade King.

The Jade King was so frightened that he was scared to death. He had no idea why the two of them suddenly attacked each other as if they had been provoked.

They are one of us, so shouldn't we at least identify them before taking action?

This was the Jade King's last thought. At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to turn over. He was completely exhausted.

The next moment, a fang-shaped handkerchief suddenly covered his face.

All that was heard was a dense sound like the sound of spring silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves, and the Jade King couldn't even scream.

After a few breaths, when the handkerchief flew back, the Jade King's eyes widened, and his faceless corpse fell to the ground, dead.

When the thin man and the fat man saw it, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since they lost their organization due to a sinister villain who claimed to be "one of us", the two have become very sensitive to the word "one of us".
