Holy Fist!-Chapter 774 - 355 Hunting Ghost General (6k)

"Hmm?"

Bai Xiao’s eyes narrowed, and his entire attention instantly focused.

During the three-day martial test, he felt something was amiss, as if someone was specifically targeting him. Especially on the first day, Bai Xiao had swept through several senior sect leaders in quick succession, ultimately defeating Beichen Sword Wei Zhenghong. Logically speaking, even if someone wanted to continue challenging him, they should have weighed their own strength first. Yet, on the second day, seven more challenge posts were delivered in succession.

Among the first five were even newly appointed sect leaders of that level.

It was simply absurd.

It was clear to anyone that it was a carousel tactic meant to deplete Bai Xiao’s spirit, qi and mind.

And then, the last two.

Demon Clothes Flow Gao Hong, Blood Saber Yu Feng, both were experts of the Transformation Realm.

Clearly, someone or some force had been scheming, indirectly manipulating everything. He had a premonition, and there were some suspects in his mind. But he never expected it to be the doing of the Evil Ghost Court’s people.

"Purple Demon Woman?"

Bai Xiao furrowed his brows and looked at Ying Ming.

"That’s right, the cultivation technique practiced by this person is extremely strange, capable of extracting spirit, qi and mind from other Secret Martial Cultivators to replenish herself. However, the side effect is that she must consume it at regular intervals. Just recently, the Martial Arts Association in East Sea City discovered some martial artists suddenly disappearing. After multiple investigations, the whereabouts of this person were basically confirmed..."

Ying Ming went on to discuss many things with Bai Xiao.

For instance, the dangerous organizations faced by the Town Martial Bureau, in the Martial Arts Association Headquarters there is a wanted bounty list, and the Evil Ghost Court is at the top of that list! Each significant figure from the Evil Ghost Court known to have appeared has been given separate bounty tasks. For Ying Ming and Bai Xiao, Flag Masters of Town Martial, the twelve Ghost Generals are naturally the most worth noting.

The twelve Ghost Generals of the Evil Ghost Court are all strong at the Transformation Realm level.

Some are Martial Arts Sect Leaders, others are Rakshasa Killing Ghosts, ranked in order from low to high based on strength. Like the Purple Demon Woman, ranked tenth, she possesses early-stage Transformation Realm combat power, already close to mid-stage Transformation Realm. Coupled with various bizarre methods, perhaps her combat skills aren’t strong in direct confrontation, but her self-preservation ability is excessively exaggerated.

And she is only ranked tenth.

The first Ghost General of the Evil Ghost Court, Holy Armor Golden Floss, has even reached the peak of Transformation Realm, half-step Perfection. Two Flag Masters of Town Martial had fallen to his hands, discovered as shattered remains.

Ying Ming, possessing mid-stage Transformation Realm battle power, came to the Eastern region to arrest the Purple Demon Woman. While he should gain the upper hand and even defeat her, capturing or killing her would be quite challenging. Moreover, it’s possible that the Purple Demon Woman isn’t acting alone, what if there are other Ghost Generals with her?

At that time, Ying Ming would be the one at a disadvantage.

Therefore, he invited Bai Xiao to act together upon arriving in the Eastern region.

After the plane landed, Ying Ming had already heard from others.

The Dragon Elephant Hall Master, during the three-day martial test, had swept through a dozen sect leaders in succession! Among them, many were senior sect leaders, and there were three masters of the Transformation Realm! Including Blood Saber Yu Feng, who was the Direct Disciple of the Sword Demon from Po Suo’s Hidden Blade Pavilion, mid-stage Transformation Realm, yet still defeated by Bai Xiao’s brute Horizontal Training.

Evidently, this new Flag Master of Town Martial, Bai Xiao, is far from ordinary. His combat power far exceeds normal levels, at least possessing mid-stage Transformation Realm battle power.

The two acting together would definitely be safer than acting alone.

"The reward for capturing the tenth Ghost General, the Purple Demon Woman, has four aspects at the Martial Arts Association Headquarters. First, one tael of ten-year-old leaves from the Enlightenment Tea Tree. Second, at the Spring Spirit Pivot Pavilion, three types of Elixirs of choice, five of each, some can cause a Qi-Blood burst, others can increase comprehension temporarily, some can assist in breakthroughs, and others stabilize the realm. A wide variety of options to choose from. Third, one portion of Jade Mine Marrow, its value to sect leaders needs no explanation. Fourth, a chance to enter the Langya Martial Collection. Choose one First-class Secret Martial and one Second-class Secret Martial..."

In the meeting room, seated.

Ying Ming was candid as he recounted the entire reward. Of course, it was the reward for capturing; they had to capture the Purple Demon Woman alive. If only killed, and the corpse brought back, all rewards would be reduced by a small half.

"Is the reward for this task so generous?"

Bai Xiao’s eyes flickered slightly.

"Of course, it’s a Transformation Realm opponent after all."

"Even with both of us at mid-stage Transformation Realm capability, hunting down the Purple Demon Woman alone would be exceedingly difficult. After all, this Ghost General is best at diverse survival tactics. Carelessness might result in a scenario where you damage the enemy by a thousand but harm yourself by eight hundred. In my opinion, the reward for this task still isn’t generous enough. We’re risking our lives to catch a criminal..."

"The death rate for Flag Masters of Town Martial isn’t low."

Ying Ming shook his head, sighing.

Then, the two started discussing the distribution of rewards, the simplest being a fifty-fifty split, but dividing the Jade Mine Marrow and Langya Martial Collection’s rewards wasn’t easy.

In the end, after a round of discussion.

Ying Ming received the Jade Mine Marrow and Elixir rewards from the Spring Spirit Pivot Pavilion.

While Bai Xiao received one tael of Enlightenment Tea leaves and Langya Martial Collection’s cultivation technique.

Neither had objections to this, and both felt they got a good deal. In Ying Ming’s mind, the Jade Mine Marrow was the most precious of all rewards, and having received it, he was naturally delighted. In Bai Xiao’s mind, the Jade Mine Marrow was mediocre at best, considering he had already learned that the Ancient Loulan Secret Realm’s Divine Treasure contained a large amount of Void Marrow, making the relatively meager portion of Jade Mine Marrow unappealing in comparison. Bai Xiao was more interested in the Langya Martial Collection’s cultivation technique.
