I Can Devour Spirits

Chapter 179: Huang Gaizu

As soon as the burly man’s wrist turned, a shadow suddenly floated down beside the Turtle Slave. The sword glimmered, and a thin sword lightly tapped on the back of his large saber.

The sword was as thin as paper, still trembling lightly after tapping the burly man’s large saber. However, the force of his wrist’s turning vanished suddenly...

The burly man was shocked, raised his eyes to look at the person, and saw a man in a brocade robe, about forty years old, with a slender figure, a thin face, and deeply set eyes shooting out a somber light, staring at him.

The burly man’s eyelid twitched, and he drew his saber to slash at the man. His right arm muscles knotted and bulged, Inner Breath fully opened, but the man remained stationary, just flashing his sword again, tapping obliquely on the face of the slashing saber with that thin sword.

The burly man’s erupting power suddenly felt like a surging wave crashing into a giant peak, power rebounded, and his breath was chaotic.

His tiger’s mouth cracked, the large saber in his hand reversed, nearly chopping on his own foot.

The burly man retreated two steps, shocked and fearfully looking at the sword-wielding man standing there, tremblingly said, "Great Success Realm!"

The burly man regretted in his heart; he had originally intended to rely on his Third Level of Inner Breath Realm to have a free meal in this Huaying Building.

He was just passing through, planning to leave the city afterward; who would come looking for him?

Unexpectedly, in such a remote brothel, there was actually a master of the Great Success Realm guarding it!

Duan Rong, watching the battle from the second-floor railing, narrowed his eyes and asked Jiang Qingyu beside him, "Who is this person?"

Jiang Qingyu replied, "The resident expert of Huaying Building, Huang Gaizu!"

At this moment, Hu Huanhuan came out from the corridor, her beautiful eyes scanning the hall calmly.

Seeing Hu Huanhuan come out, Huang Gaizu smiled grimly, "What do we do with this person?"

Hu Huanhuan turned to look at the burly man and said calmly, "He likes ears, doesn’t he? Let’s leave him a pair of ears."

As soon as Hu Huanhuan finished speaking, Huang Gaizu’s figure suddenly flickered, the sword shadow moving with him, trembling gently like a ribbon attached to his body.

The burly man couldn’t see Huang Gaizu’s sword path, but knowing they were after his ears, he swung his saber to block, the sword shadow flashed, and three of his right hand fingers were cut off, the heavy and sharp large saber falling and stabbing into the floor beside his foot.

Then, the burly man only felt a flash before his eyes, and his two ears left his body...

On the second-floor railing, Duan Rong’s pupils suddenly contracted, looking at a figure in the crowd watching the scene from the second-floor railing not far away.

It was Fan Yuanhai!

When the Xu Ruhu case first broke, Duan Rong had seen this person at the entrance of Yuan Shun Escort Agency.

He was still in Xianggu County, indicating that the Xu Ruhu case was not yet over.

And now, it’s been more than three months since the incident.

Fan Yuanhai seemed to feel someone’s gaze on him, suddenly turned his head and scanned the crowd where Duan Rong was, but by then Duan Rong was already looking back at the first-floor hall...

Fan Yuanhai found nothing unusual, so he withdrew his gaze.

After the matter downstairs was over, several people returned to Lanxiang Garden, sat in front of the table, and continued to play the drinking game. Lan Ying was unusually playful, Jiang Qingyu gladly joined in, and Ximen Kankan, who loved playing, livened up the atmosphere tremendously...

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Duan Rong sipped his drink thoughtfully, his eyes flickering.

The moment he sat before the table, Duan Rong suddenly projected his Divine Sense outward, instantly enveloping everything within a hundred meters.

All kinds of luxurious and indulgent scenes were immediately presented before Duan Rong’s "eyes".

This was also why Duan Rong hadn’t dared to project his Divine Sense outside before; he feared he wouldn’t be able to handle it, it was just too stimulating!

This was much more stimulating than the 3D erotic films shown in Xianggang from the previous life on Blue Star.

360° holographic HD stereo imaging, Duan Rong, as a former observer of a 200G hard drive, was finding it hard to keep his composure now.

However, Duan Rong’s intention in releasing his Divine Sense was not to see these things; he knew Fan Yuanhai was nearby and couldn’t help using his Divine Sense to investigate.

Fan Yuanhai, after all, was a strong person at the True Qi Realm Second Level, and usually, even with his ability to project Divine Sense, Duan Rong wouldn’t dare to follow closely to investigate.

But now, it happened to be such a coincidence; Fan Yuanhai’s room was not far from Lanxiang Garden...a rare opportunity!

Recently, Fan Yuanhai had been quite depressed, Xu Ruhu’s case had no leads, and he’d been stuck in this remote place for over three months. Most importantly, he didn’t know how long he would need to stay.

Not only was there no clue on his side, but Jie Daohan also seemed to have hit a dead end.

This case was inherently sinister; after more than three months, any remaining clues might have already vanished.

Fan Yuanhai often came to Huaying Building to relax, favoring Lian Ying among the Four Great Flower Shadows.

Each of the Four Great Flower Shadows had their expertise, Lan Ying was good at music, while Lian Ying excelled in dance!

At this moment, in Lian Ying’s Lotus Fall, a maid beat a drum while another plucked a pipa, the sound powerful and the drumbeats as dense as rain.

Lian Ying’s dance was as charming as water, full of wildness!

Her fair waist swayed with the music like a snake, her eyes, her lips all exuding allure...

Fan Yuanhai’s elbow holding the wine glass paused there, the cup trembling slightly, his lower abdomen surged with heat...

At this moment, Duan Rong suddenly frowned.

He "saw" his childhood friend, Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen followed behind Jie Daohan, already up to the second-floor corridor of Huaying Building.

As soon as Jie Daohan appeared, Duan Rong’s Divine Sense immediately enveloped him, scanning him thoroughly from head to toe, not even sparing a button on him, let alone hidden weapons concealed around his body.

Jie Daohan and Yang Zhen arrived at Lian Ying’s Lotus Fall, paused, Yang Zhen stood sideway, holding a knife guarding the door, while Jie Daohan pushed the door and entered.

For some reason, since Jie Lei’s death, Jie Daohan greatly valued Yang Zhen, often bringing him along.

As Jie Daohan pushed the door and entered, everyone inside turned their gaze towards him, but the pipa and drums didn’t cease, Lian Ying’s dance continued. Jie Daohan walked slowly to Fan Yuanhai by the table and sat down.

Jie Daohan and Fan Yuanhai originally didn’t get along well, but due to the case investigation, gradually let bygones be bygones. The two often met for a while to exchange information.

However, in the last month, Fan Yuanhai had given up, almost abandoning the investigation.

Jie Daohan came to see Fan Yunhai for something.

As soon as Jie Daohan sat down, Fan Yuanhai poured him a glass of wine, which Jie Daohan drank, then bent over and whispered in Fan Yuanhai’s ear, "Help me catch someone."

Fan Yuanhai sneered, he didn’t want to delve into Jie Daohan’s other cases. "Is there anyone in Xianggu County you can’t handle?"

"The evil doctor Shen Ping!" Jie Daohan’s voice came eerily.
