In this bizarre world, I can extract supernatural powers.

As soon as these words were spoken, a figure gradually appeared.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, sizing up the newcomer, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "A child is also a demon hunter?"

At the doorway, a boy who looked about seven or eight years old was leaning against the door frame.

When the boy heard what Xu Bai said, his face suddenly darkened.

"Can't you speak properly?!"

Xu Bai turned his gaze to Ding Huan and said, "Brother Ding, you two seem to know each other. Why don't you introduce us?"

Ding Huan nodded slightly and said, "Wang Yuan entered the Dao through cooking. His knife skills are exquisite and unparalleled. He is a fourth-level Transcendent Realm cultivator and is quite famous even among the monster hunters in Feng County."

"As for his physical form, it's because he was poisoned by a poison master during a mission. If the poison cannot be cured, he will be forced to live as a child forever."

Xu Bai suddenly realized, "I see. Brother Wang, why don't we go inside and discuss this in detail?"

Wang Yuan sneered, "I have no intention of forming an alliance with you. I'm just here to see who's really on this mission."

Xu Bai said "Oh," and then added, "Then get lost."

After he finished speaking, the place fell silent.

Wang Yuan's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and he asked, "What did you just say?"

"I said... get lost," Xu Bai said calmly. "From the moment you showed up, you started causing trouble, your words laced with mockery. If you don't leave, how long can you survive with the two of us working together?"

Ding Huan laughed heartily and said, "Brother Xu's character has truly impressed me. Wang Yuan, your character is quite infamous among the Ghost Hunters. I have no intention of arguing with you, but if you insist on stirring up trouble, you should consider the situation first."

Wang Yuan's gaze swept over Xu Bai and Ding Huan, then he snorted coldly and turned to leave the room.

Then, the room fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Ding Huan stepped forward, closed the door, and after making sure no one was outside, said, "Brother Xu, wasn't that a bit impulsive?"

Xu Bai toyed with the teacup on the table and asked, "What impulse?"

Ding Huan sat opposite Xu Bai and pondered, "He is at least a fourth-level Transcendent Realm cultivator. You offended him with your words and even told him to get lost. This is not a good thing. What I mean is, why not actually keep him here?"

He couldn't understand why Xu Bai was acting this way.

Since we've already offended them, we might as well keep them here.

It's better to let them go and then let them hold a grudge.

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "I can tell what kind of person he is just by meeting him once. If I try to make him an ally, he will stab me in the back."

"As for why he didn't stay, he was also the one who accepted this mission. Perhaps we can find a way to deal with the strange creature from him."

Upon hearing this, Ding Huan pondered carefully, then clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Brother Xu, brilliant!"

The strangeness of Qianyun Village is at least at the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm, and should not be underestimated.

By keeping Wang Yuan but not recruiting him as an ally, one can have an extra helper without worrying about being betrayed.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's rest first. I have a feeling that tonight won't be over so easily."

Ding Huan nodded and said, "By the way, may I ask what level Brother Xu is at? I'm not trying to find out Brother Xu's background, but as allies, we should be able to understand each other."

"I am at the fourth stage of the Transcendent Realm, and I am skilled in swordsmanship. I entered this realm through swordsmanship."

Xu Bai thought for a moment and said, "The third realm of mortal transformation, thunder magic."

He didn't say much.

Although they are allies, the most important thing to do in order to survive in this world is to leave yourself some room for maneuver.

After introducing themselves, the two said no more and then went to find a place to rest.

The night grew darker and darker, like a black curtain enveloping everything around it.

In the pitch-black night, the villagers' breathing could be heard clearly.

A dark cloud covered the sky, obscuring the full moon.

Xu Bai suddenly opened his eyes and turned his gaze to Ding Huan.

"Brother Ding, did you hear that?"

Ding Huan snapped out of his daze and nodded, saying, "I heard you."

The sound carried on the breeze, carrying a hint of sensuality, as if someone were engaging in pleasurable acts.

Connecting this to the bizarre method of the previous murders, the two realized that the mysterious entity had already taken action.

At that moment, lights came on in the houses, and the woman's loud cursing could be heard.

"It's happening again, it's starting again!"

"When will this finally end?"

"You lecherous scoundrel, why did you have to get involved in all this mess in the first place!"

……

Ding Huan arrived at the door, peeked through the crack, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Brother Xu, this is truly spectacular! Won't you come and see?"

The two of them were unaffected and therefore in no danger.

Xu Bai went to the window and pushed it open a crack.

Several doors were open, and several men were lying on the beds. After a moment of twitching, they fell silent.

Then, the women screamed in terror.

Someone's dead!

"Help! Someone's dead!"

A scream pierced the darkness.

Then, an old man, supported by a woman, walked out of the house.

He directed the women to search the various rooms, and soon they found several corpses.

The corpse lay on the ground, its face contorted in a grimace, bearing an expression of both pleasure and agony, making it look utterly terrifying.

Xu Bai whispered, "A bizarre dream-based murder, not easy to deal with."

If it were a physical entity, then the two could join forces to kill the other.

Even if you can't beat them, at least you have an opponent.

But now he's killing people in his dreams.

Moreover, according to a strange rule, the village will not attack the two of them unless everyone in the village is dead.

Ding Huan shook his head and said, "There is no other way."

As the two were talking, another exclamation rang out.

The exclamation carried a hint of panic.

"Village chief, something terrible has happened! An outsider has died!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately parted to make way.

Then, several villagers carried a body and quickly walked into the crowd.

When the body appeared, the villagers present stared wide-eyed.

There was a boy who looked about seven or eight years old lying on the ground, his eyes tightly closed, and the expression on his face was exactly the same as that of the corpses.

Ding Huan saw the boy's face and exclaimed in astonishment, "Wang Yuan, dead?"

Xu Bai stroked his chin and said, "Brother Ding, it seems the strange target of the attack has changed, or perhaps Wang Yuan has something special about him."

Ding Huan turned around and asked, "Brother Xu, what are your thoughts? Will you show yourself?"

He was well aware of Wang Yuan's strength. Although the other party was arrogant and domineering and had a bad personality, he was still a genuine fourth-level Transcendent Realm cultivator.

But now he has died silently.

Xu Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Let's not rush. I have a feeling there's something wrong with these villagers."

If the uncanny could change the rules of attack, news of it would have spread long ago.

Even a seasoned veteran like Ding Huan was surprised, and Xu Bai felt there was more to the story.

This village might not be as simple as he imagined.

As he was thinking this, the old village chief, who had been standing in the crowd, spoke up.
