A heretical cultivator in Bureau 749, I'm the fiercest at pulling out tendons and skinning peop

The four Qi cultivators behind them were terrified when they saw their comrade in front of them instantly turn into dried corpses, human skin, and food for hungry ghosts. They dared not have any hope left.

Almost simultaneously, the four of them turned and ran without hesitation!

Even the one at the Spirit Palace Realm was no exception.

This is unbelievable!

When did Bureau 749 hide such a sinister thing?!

That ruthless, skinning, tendon-pulling, and devouring-people behavior—isn't that the work of an evil cultivator?

Are the people in Bureau 749 blind, or has Bureau 749 in Jinghai already colluded with evil cultivators?!

This is even more despairing than being bombarded by artillery fire!

They would rather be blown up by artillery fire than become someone else's prey.

"Hey? Don't run away! You're already here, you should leave something behind, right?"

Ji Zuodao stomped his foot, causing the ground to crack slightly, and the large tendons under his thigh skin twitched violently like powerful springs!

"Whoosh—!"

His figure left a faint afterimage, and in the blink of an eye, he had caught up with the last Spirit Sea Realm cultivator like a ghost.

"I'll fight you to the death!!"

Wang Yun sensed the suffocating, eerie aura approaching from behind and knew he couldn't escape. Despair and ferocity erupted simultaneously!

He twisted his body abruptly, channeling all his spiritual power into his longsword, and slashed fiercely at Ji Zuodao's neck in mid-air!

This sword strike was hasty and decisive.

He didn't have high hopes; he just wanted to be able to stop it.

however--

"Sizzle!"

The sharp, teeth-grinding sound of a blade slicing through flesh was so clear.

Hot, foul-smelling blood splattered all over Wang Yun's head and face.

The resistance from the blade was negligible, as if it were cutting through a slightly firm piece of tofu rather than a tough cultivator's body.

Did...you succeed?!

The despair on Wang Yun's face was instantly replaced by unbelievable ecstasy!

He actually slit this evil cultivator's throat with a single sword strike?!

Two other Qi cultivators who were also fleeing nearby caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of their eye and were also shocked.

Their steps slowed slightly, and a look of joy, as if they had survived a disaster, welled up on their faces!

Only Wang Lin, who was at the very front and never looked back, not only didn't stop, but actually sped up by three points.

He mentally cursed the three idiots behind him a hundred times over:

A bunch of idiots!

He had once dealt with a real heretical cultivator and barely escaped with his life, so he knew all too well how cunning and difficult these kinds of people could be!

What you consider a fatal injury might be nothing more than a scrape on their skin!

Those madmen who practice evil arts and modify themselves cannot be understood by ordinary reasoning!

That heretical cultivator was clearly deliberately creating a flaw!

However, this is for the best.

If those idiots can create some chaos, it will buy him a little more time to escape.

really--

The ecstasy on Wang Yun's face had not yet fully blossomed.

A searing pain, as if a branding iron had been pressed directly onto his skin, suddenly shot through the spot on his cheek where the blood had come into contact!

"Aaaaaahh ...

A piercing, inhuman scream suddenly erupted!

Under the horrified gazes of the other two Qi cultivators, Wang Yun's face, splattered with blood, began to melt and deform rapidly, like a candle under the blazing sun!

The skin and muscles sizzled and emitted eerie blue smoke. The facial features were distorted and blurred, and the eyeballs seemed about to drool out!

"Help... hehe..."

Wang Yun's screams lasted for less than two seconds before being forcibly cut off.

Ji Zuodao was already standing beside him at some point, and countless tiny buds of flesh were intertwining and healing on the wound on his neck.

He calmly reached out and grabbed the limp body, his arms seemingly casually folding, twisting, and then kneading it—

Click, click, splat...

Amidst the teeth-grinding sounds of bones shattering and flesh being crushed, Wang Yun was forcibly folded into three folds and screamed as he was thrust into the mouth of a "hungry ghost" that was already starving and its sharp teeth were snapping shut.

"Gulp."

A sickening swallowing sound.

"Burp~"

The hungry ghost even let out a satisfied burp, exhaling a small wisp of foul air tinged with the smell of blood.

All of this happened too fast.

The joy on the faces of the other two Qi cultivators froze completely, replaced by boundless fear and regret; they were filled with remorse.

I should have never looked back! I shouldn't have stopped!

However, there is no longer the option of "if only I had known".

Before they could even turn around again, their feet suddenly tightened!

Several large, wet, cold, black tendons, like venomous snakes that have been lurking for a long time, have silently wrapped around their ankles.

Immediately afterwards, an irresistible force came!

"No--!!"

"Spare me..."

The screams and pleas for mercy abruptly ceased.

Like fish caught on a hook, the two were flung into the air by the giant tendon, tracing two desperate arcs before precisely plunging into the terrifying maw that seemed to connect to an endless abyss.

"Hehehe..."

After dealing with the three, Ji Zuodao slowly raised his head and looked at the last target who had already escaped nearly a hundred meters away.

Spirit Palace Realm!

A smile of almost innocent, yet chilling pleasure spread across his face.

"Don't run away, my little darling, I'm coming~"

"Please let me refine it, okay? Once it's made into pills, it'll be enough for me to eat for several days...hehehe~"

Ji Zuodao smiled as he walked slowly and steadily.

Nearly a hundred black veins around his body, like wildly dancing serpents, bared their fangs and claws behind him, casting swaying and ferocious shadows.

The spine sword in his hand, its white surface tinged with blood, gleamed with a chilling light.

On its belly, the "Hungry Ghost's Mouth," which had just devoured three people, was still open, its sharp teeth constantly opening and closing.

That look was truly sinister.

Even Deputy Director Liu, who was on a tank in the distance and had been watching the battle unfold, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids a few times.

He cleared his throat and spoke over the internal communication channel in a complex tone:

"Ahem! Xiao Ji... well, tone it down! You're a government employee with a stable job, so watch your image! This is a legitimate law enforcement operation, look how scared our allies are."

Upon hearing this, Ji Zuodao quickly glanced at the flank out of the corner of his eye.

The investigators from Bureau 749 were alright; most of them had already witnessed Ji Zuodao's strangeness.

But the ordinary soldiers who were cooperating with the operation looked at him strangely.

Many people's gun barrels would involuntarily drift slightly toward the direction where Ji Zuodao was located.

Their lips were pressed tightly together, their eyes darting back and forth between Ji Zuodao and Deputy Director Liu, clearly unsure of what to do.

What the hell is this weird stuff made of?!

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"cough!"

Upon seeing this, Deputy Director Liu coughed loudly, his voice booming like a bell, instantly drawing the attention of many soldiers back to the present.

He glared at the soldiers and laughed and cursed:

"What the hell are you all looking at?! That's my precious darling, specially recruited, a legitimate employee with a permanent position!"

"Stop brandishing your guns! Get back to what you were doing! If you keep looking around, you won't get any of the roast lamb and beer from logistics tonight!"

His shout made the soldiers straighten their backs instinctively, and their guns quickly returned to their original positions. However, the surprise and doubt in their eyes did not completely disappear, but instead turned into a deeper curiosity and a trace of awe.

As expected of 749, that's awesome.
