The Martial Saint begins by collecting corpses.

Seeing Lu Ming suddenly leap towards her, the female ghost's face immediately returned to normal, her large mouth shrank back to its original size, her eyes behind her messy hair widened, and then she retreated rapidly.

With a wave of her hand, the window slammed shut.

The next moment, a loud bang was heard, the window shattered, wood chips scattered everywhere, and Lu Ming rushed out, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Whoever wants to kill him will pay the price.

He saw that the white-clad female ghost's feet didn't touch the ground; she was flying, and when she reached the wall, she disappeared into it.

Lu Ming's blood and qi surged. After this period of training, his third move of the Canglang Fist, Wave Overlap Thousand Layers, could now stack two layers of waves!

With the surge of energy and blood within his body, his speed increased dramatically. He pushed off the ground, leaped into the air, grabbed the wall, and flipped over.

At this moment, the experts from the Night Guard who had been secretly watching him jumped out, looking at him warily, and demanded:

"What happened?"

Before Lu Ming could answer, someone nearby shouted, "There's a female ghost here!"

Lu Ming looked up and saw that the ghost was being chased by a master of the Night Guard.

However, that ghost was elusive and difficult to catch by himself.

"I want to see who is so audacious as to try to manipulate the assessment in this way."

A fierce aura appeared on the face of the Night Guard expert beside Lu Ming, and they immediately gave chase.

Lu Ming's heart stirred. Instead of joining the chase, he turned around and ran wildly towards the east side of the guest area. He knew that Qin Xiaoyi was being held in a secret room there.

The room was dimly lit. Shen Mo, who was guarding the entrance to the secret chamber, was startled when he saw Lu Ming chasing after him.

"Lu Ming, what's wrong with you? Why are you running around outside in the middle of the night?"

Just then, Lu Ming looked around and sure enough, he saw a white figure flash by the left wall.

He had brushed past Qin Xiaoyi during the day and felt the chill emanating from her, which was exactly the same feeling this female ghost gave him.

So he went directly to this place to wait, and sure enough, he encountered the female ghost.

When the female ghost saw him, her eyes widened and her eyeballs swelled rapidly.

In an instant, only one eyeball remained on his entire face. The eyeball, as large as his face, was filled with bloodshot veins and hidden among his messy long hair, staring intently at Lu Ming.

"It must be painful, right? I'll dig it out for you!" A sinister smile appeared on Lu Ming's face.

Just as he was about to make his move, Shen Mo had already seen the female ghost and immediately shouted:

"Stop being so insolent!"

He lunged forward and threw a punch.

With a loud bang, he punched the wall, leaving a deep fist mark, but the female ghost had vanished without a trace.

Lu Ming sneered, strode forward, and kicked open the door to the secret room.

The lights were on inside, and Qin Xiaoyi was reading a book.

Apart from his somewhat cold expression, the scene looked perfectly normal; the room was dimly lit and the atmosphere was harmonious, with nothing out of the ordinary.

Hearing the sound of the door being kicked, he looked up and said expressionlessly, "Are you looking for death?"

Lu Ming looked at Qin Xiaoyi with a playful expression.

Even if the female ghost had disappeared into the wall and entered the secret room, he couldn't possibly have failed to notice the anomaly.

Even if he was too weak to detect the female ghost, Shen Mo's punch almost shook the entire secret room. How could this guy still be reading peacefully here?

This guy overdid it!

Qin Xiaoyi seemed to realize the problem as well, and immediately said, "Just now outside..."

"There's a ghost outside trying to kill me. Did you release it?" Lu Ming said as he walked closer to him.

Seeing the murderous intent in Lu Ming's eyes, Qin Xiaoyi slowly stood up: "What makes you say I released it? Do you have any evidence?"

"Killing you will tell us whether there's any evidence or not."

A sinister smile appeared on Lu Ming's face. Suddenly, he flicked his hands together, sending out four throwing knives in an instant.

Qin Xiaoyi's gaze sharpened, and he quickly retreated to the side, his expression changing slightly as he said, "You dare to kill me?"

Clang! He dodged the four throwing knives, which struck the wall behind him and fell to the ground.

"Lu Ming, stop! The matter hasn't been investigated yet..." Shen Mo's voice came from behind.

However, a fierce glint flashed in Lu Ming's eyes, and he flicked his hands again, this time launching eight throwing knives at once!

The ghost in the small mountain temple had already mastered the Flying Waterfall Blade technique during his lifetime.

Upon gaining this experience, he immediately achieved a minor level of mastery, and with continued practice, he quickly reached the level he had reached in his lifetime.

After throwing eight knives, he wiped his hands on his body and threw eight more knives!

Sixteen throwing knives flashed coldly in the room, their sharp light like a waterfall, completely engulfing Qin Xiaoyi, who had nowhere left to retreat.

Just as Qin Xiaoyi was about to be riddled with holes by the waterfall of blades, a look of shock and anger appeared in his eyes the next moment.

A white shadow suddenly appeared on his body, flashed in front of him, and the sixteen throwing knives fell to the ground with a clatter, as if they had been hit by cotton.

"Finally, they've given themselves away," Lu Ming sneered.

"If you hadn't moved and I had stabbed you to death with my throwing knife, using your death to frame me, I might have thought more highly of you. Now... you can die."

"You're the one who deserves to die for exposing me!" Qin Xiaoyi said through gritted teeth, his face changing drastically for the first time, turning red with anger.

He originally killed one person first, and after becoming a suspect, he was locked in a secret room, where he was prepared to kill another person to clear his name.

After all, if he killed someone in the secret room, it wouldn't concern him anymore. He never expected that Lu Ming would completely ruin his plan.

He immediately pointed at Lu Ming and said, "This man is trying to harm me. Kill him."

The female ghost let out a shrill cry and charged towards Lu Ming.

"Qin Xiaoyi, stop! Lu Ming... watch out!!" Shen Mo had also seen the truth of the matter at this moment, and he shouted as he rushed over.

But then the female ghost rushed in front of Lu Ming, baring her teeth and claws, about to attack, when suddenly her body trembled, and her entire body shattered into several wisps of yin energy, which vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"What?" Qin Xiaoyi's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Lu Ming as if he had seen a ghost.

Shen Mo, who had just rushed over, first narrowed his eyes, then looked at Lu Ming with some awe.

This person's cultivation level is only at the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement, but he seems to have a unique ability to kill ghosts and monsters, just like the last time at the small mountain temple.

In reality, apart from Lu Ming, no one could see a green light fly out from the female ghost and be swallowed by him.

"Huh?" Lu Ming frowned slightly.

He had seen a green light and felt that he was about to reap a great reward.

Surprisingly, this harvest was basically the same as that of an average person.

Based on the information that came to mind, this so-called acupuncture technique was nothing more than ordinary acupuncture.

What's going on? Could it be that the gray, white, and green light are actually unrelated to his harvest?

Lu Ming quickly realized that this was probably the case; the gray, white, and green lights simply represented the level of the ghosts.

However, the level of a ghost is not entirely determined by its abilities in life, which is why this situation occurs.

In other words, regardless of the ghost's level, he can only gain the abilities it possessed in its previous life.

Since that's the case, Qin Xiaoyi must be killed, otherwise it will be difficult to quell the hatred in his heart.

In a flash, Lu Ming strode forward, unleashing a wave of energy that surged towards the still-astonished Qin Xiaoyi.

"Stop!" A loud shout suddenly came from outside the secret room.

Lu Ming did not stop, and punched Qin Xiaoyi hard in the chest.

Without the help of the ghosts, Qin Xiaoyi's strength was only about the same as that of an ordinary skin-training martial artist. In addition, there was no way to avoid it. After being punched, his body trembled, and he spat out blood. His eyes were fixed on Lu Ming, showing a variety of emotions such as fear, shock, and disbelief.
