What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

The black bone needle on his chest disappeared instantly.

next second.

A black streak of light, accompanied by a whooshing sound, bypassed Zhao Tie's shield and dodged the countless red lines, heading straight for the record player behind Hong Gu with an extremely tricky arc.

Controlling Qi!

Since it's the core of the formation, let's destroy it first!

Hong Gu clearly hadn't expected that my target wasn't her, but the record player.

Her expression changed drastically, and she tried to turn around to stop him, but it was too late.

The black bone needles were moving too fast.

"Bang!"

A crisp sound.

The old-fashioned record player, which was singing opera, was instantly pierced by the bone needle and exploded into pieces.

The opera music stopped abruptly.

At the same time, the cheongsams hanging in mid-air, like puppets without strings, instantly lost their vitality and drooped limply.

The overwhelming red line offensive also came to a halt.

"Ah—! My darling!"

Hong Gu let out a scream, turned her head sharply, and stared at me with her murky eyes, filled with resentment.

"I'm going to skin you and make you into insoles!"

She was completely enraged.

A terrifying black aura erupted from her body, and the half of her once charming face withered rapidly, becoming hideous and terrifying.

"Zhao Tie, Zhou Ming, step back."

I slowly walked into the hall, and with a wave of my right hand, the black bone needle drew an arc in the air and floated back to my fingertip.

Looking at that old hag who had gone mad, my expression remained calm.

But deep in his eyes, the murderous aura that had been suppressed for so long was finally no longer concealed.

"Leave the rest to me."

Zhao Tie and Zhou Ming exchanged a glance and tactfully took a few steps back.

Zhao Tie slammed the large alloy shield to the ground with a dull thud, securing the exit of the hall and guarding against Hong Gu's desperate act.

Zhou Ming held several suppressive talismans in his hand, watching the swaying cheongsams around him warily.

Hong Gu let out a piercing scream, her withered face contorted with extreme rage.

She suddenly waved her hand, and the hanging red threads shot wildly towards me.

These lines are thinner and faster than those used when attacking Zhao Tie earlier.

Instead of retreating, I took a step forward.

With a flick of his right hand, the scalpel was already in his palm.

After being reforged, the blade was imbued with an indelible aura of malevolence.

My arm jerked, and the blade drew a crescent-shaped black line in the air.

"Ding ding ding ding!"

A series of metallic clanging sounds echoed through the hall.

Those soul-guiding lines, strong enough to pierce steel plates, were deflected the moment they hit the willow-leaf dagger.

Since my meridians were widened, my explosive power has far exceeded what it used to be.

Every time I swing the sword, I can feel the recoil from the blade being easily neutralized by my internal energy.

At the same time, I felt a slight warmth between my eyebrows.

The black bone needle drew an eerie arc in the air. Instead of confronting the enemy head-on, it circled around to Hong Gu's side and rear.

To do two things at once.

While I was using my willow-leaf scalpel to defend against the frontal line of defenses, I was also using my mind to control the bone needles to find Hong Gu's weaknesses.

Hong Gu clearly didn't expect me to be able to withstand her deadly move so easily.

She flicked her fingers repeatedly, constantly shooting out new fine threads, trying to overwhelm me with sheer numbers.

But I could sense that because the phonograph at the core of the array was destroyed, the flow of yin energy within her body had become sluggish, and the power of those threads was diminishing.

"Too slow."

I spoke softly, pushed off with my feet, and like a black lightning bolt, I charged forward against the swirling rain.

Hong Gu's face changed drastically. She screamed and backed away, while pulling at the cheongsams on the ceiling, trying to block my view with those resentful clothes.

With a thought, the black bone needles suspended in mid-air suddenly accelerated.

It pierced precisely through the three flowing cheongsams, bringing with it a trail of black, sinister energy.

The bone needle was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye. Before Hong Gu could make her next move, it pierced her left scapula.

"ah--!"

Hong Gu let out a scream, and half of her body swayed violently.

The malevolent energy attached to the bone needles erupted instantly within her body; the power specifically designed to suppress evil caused her movements to freeze fatally.

This is the moment I've been waiting for.

The five-meter distance was covered in an instant.

When I appeared before Hong Gu, fear finally showed in her bloodshot eyes.

She opened her mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp black teeth, as if trying to bite my neck.

I suddenly reached out with my left hand and grabbed her throat.

With my left hand strengthened by the self-sewing technique, my fingers dug deep into her flesh with just a little force.

At this moment, the Yin energy within Hong Gu's body launched a frenzied counterattack, attempting to erode my arm, but it was all suppressed by the malevolent energy gushing from my palm.

"Is it fun to borrow someone else's life?"

I looked at her, my tone calm, but my right hand gripped the scalpel without mercy, the tip pressed against her dantian.

"Don't move. This knife has killed a lot of things; it has a bad temper."

I lifted Honggu up in mid-air with one hand, her legs kicking futilely.

At this moment, the red silk threads in the hall lost their owner's control and fell to the ground.

"Mr. Chen, you're awesome!"

Zhao Tie ran over carrying his shield, and seeing Hong Gu being carried like a chick by me, he couldn't help but swear.

He saw it all clearly from the side. My movements were so fluid and seamless; from breaking through the formation to capturing the enemy, it didn't even take a minute.

Zhou Ming also came over. He looked at Hong Gu's terrifying face and frowned in disgust: "This old hag carries too much karma. This kind of life-borrowing technique is the most insidious."

"Mr. Chen, it would be best to cripple her cultivation first, lest she develop any more self-harming techniques."

I nodded, and with a gentle thrust of my right hand, the tip of the willow-leaf scalpel pierced into Hong Gu's dantian.

The malevolent energy flowed in along the blade, directly shattering the foundation of her Yin energy cultivation that she had painstakingly built over many years.

Hong Gu shuddered violently, her whole body limp like a deflated balloon.

I casually tossed her to the ground and turned to Zhao Tie, saying, "Tell the people outside to come in."

This place is unusual; there should be more to it.

Zhao Tie immediately pulled out his walkie-talkie and shouted, "Team One, Team One! Target secured, move in immediately! Bring search equipment, and get moving!"

Less than two minutes later, a series of orderly footsteps echoed in Rouge Alley.

More than a dozen fully armed action team members stormed into Jinxiufang.

They had a clear division of labor: some quickly locked up Red Girl with specially made anti-magic handcuffs, some began to put up seals in various parts of the hall, and others used professional equipment to scan the walls and the floor.

I stepped aside, asked Zhou Ming for a piece of yellow paper without any talismans drawn on it, and carefully wiped the bloodstains off the scalpel.
