Chapter 28: Hunting

Pitter! Patter!

At that time, there was still a thunderstorm outside, and the sound of lightning was deafening.

Gu Qing’an wore a black raincoat with a hood and walked out of the station.

Her face was expressionless, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

Just now, she tried to find Shang Luoyun’s aura, but found no traces in her room.

It was as if her entire existence had disappeared in an instant.

Even her Xiantian disappeared silently…

Gu Qing’an only felt that a huge rock was pressing heavily on her heart.

‘No, maybe in their eyes I disappeared.’ Her thoughts quickly spun to a different conclusion.

‘Forget it, it’s useless to think too much. I do have Retribution Skill in hand, I’ll get through it.’

Her eyes showed determination.

The sound of rain obscured Gu Qing’an’s footsteps as she walked alone in the street.

“Cough, cough…”

Gu Qing’an’s ears trembled slightly. She stopped instantly, her eyes turning sharp. She moved her head to look at the source of the sound.

It was a deserted hut.

“Is there anyone else here?” Gu Qing’an was stunned.

She then smiled once more. How could there possibly be people in this location? The majority of them were demons.

The system’s radar map flashed.

Sure enough, a red dot appeared there.

‘Let’s go over and see if I can find an opportunity to kill.’

With such a thought, Gu Qing’an walked over.

It had to be said that the combination of Floating cloud silk and rainy night was amazing.

Gu Qing’an felt her infiltration ability to completely explode certain literary works of female investigators.

“Cough, cough…”

The coughing in the room was extremely unpleasant.

Gu Qing’an thought for a moment, kicked the door, and shouted.

“Open the door and pay your taxes!”

Then she jumped back and landed several metres away.

As soon as the cough in the room stopped, a weak old voice echoed.

“I’m sick, please help.”

“All right, old man, come out first.”

“I have trouble with my legs.”

“It’s okay, you crawl out with your hands.”

“…”

The voice inside became silent.

Gu Qing’an smiled, but it was impossible for her to go in anyway.

“Young man, can you go to the Zhenbei Medicine Hall, and get me some medicine.?”

“Certainly.”

Gu Qing’an replied without much thought, and then she had an idea.

“Hold on a second, old man. I’ll return in a moment.”

“Don’t move.”

No matter what the person in the room said in response, Gu Qing’an rushed to the camp.

She suddenly remembered that there was a lot of kerosene there.

Soon after, Gu Qing’an came back carrying two bags.

With a smile on her face, she shook the kerosene bottle in her hand. The kerosene bottle was half filled, and there was a small cloth on the mouth of the bottle, stained with flammable liquid.

This was simple and easy to use.

She then lit the rag at the bottle’s mouth and got the kerosene bottle ready to toss.

“Old man, the medicine is here! Take it.”

Inside the house, it heard what she had said.

Creak.

The door revealed small gap.

Gu Qing’an threw a lit-up bottle of kerosene into it.

Then she hurried back.

Boom!

There was a loud noise in the house, and the fire could be seen outside the window.

Gu Qing’an looked at the fire and felt uneasy.

“Does it count as I killed it if it’s burned to death?”

“I might not be able to get a Demon Hunting Point.”

She stared inside the room with an unhappy expression and couldn’t help but inquire out loud.

“Old man, are you all right?”

However, there was only a roar of pain and the faint sound of oil sizzling in the room.

The fire from the kerosene bomb became stronger and stronger, and smoke began to rise throughout the hut.

At that time, a deep voice of bitterness came out of the room.

“Human! I will kill you!”

A demon with a rotting body that faintly appeared to be of an old man rushed out.

His body was burned red, and his entire face was covered in black spots, which were still burning.

“Come here!”

How could Gu Qing’an be afraid of it? She was just waiting for it to come out!

Peng!

A sword imbued with True Qi swept by, and the terrifying impact smacked the partially burned corpse to the ground.

‘This demon has very little power.‘ Gu Qing’an felt the power of the sword and thought.

With the completion of the body tempering and attribute enchantment, Gu Qing’an could crush other demons in terms of physical quality.

The hand did not stop.

Gu Qing’an generally didn’t speak harsh words unless it was confirmed that the opponent was completely dead or completely non-threatening.

Another sword slash, easily beheaded.

[Killed the rotten corpse of higher level demon and obtained one Demon Hunting Point]

Gu Qing’an’s lips rose, and she felt some emotion in her heart.

Once upon a time, the higher level demons who could kill her easily had become trash that could be killed with a little effort.

She didn’t even need to use the Retribution Skill.

True Qi Realm martial artists were not afraid of higher level demons. Gu Qingan’s strength was significantly more than that of an ordinary True-Qi martial artist due to the cheat system.

[Name: Gu Qing’an

Cultivation: True Qi Realm (Qi State)

Strength: 2

Agility: 2

Physique: 5

Defence: 2

Skill: Retribution LV.2 (3/5)

Demon Hunting Points: 2]

After accumulating two Demon Hunting Points, I am eligible to bid on any upgrade.

Gu Qing’an pondered for a moment. “A little bit of strength and agility.”

[Strength: 3]

[Agility: 3]

When attributes were levelled up, Gu Qingan was shocked.

But, at that time, she was already a senior martial artist who had practised hard for a whole month, and was no longer a novice who did not understand martial arts.

After a little period of use, she would become accustomed to the additional inner quality.

Moreover, after the increase in strength attributes, it seemed that there had been some changes.

Gu Qing’an felt that the True Qi in her body seemed to be sharper.

Condensing the True Qi in her palms, she knelt, picked a rock, and pinched it.

Burst

Under True Qi compression, the stone rapidly transformed into stone powder.

She had done something similar before, but at that time she had to use her own power to turn the stone into powder.

At that time, only True Qi was used.

The strength attribute could affect the lethality of True Qi.

“Sure enough, the four attributes are not as simple as the name.”

“Agility should also have mysteries, but there is no time for detailed experiments.”

“This place is really a treasure.” She smiled.

Demon = Demon Hunting Point = Stronger

Looking at [Retribution LV.2 (3/5)] on the attribute panel, she was full of energy.

After counting the remaining kerosene, Gu Qingan walked into the distance.

“Does anyone need help?”

“”Provide free cross-border services for those who are stuck here, come quickly.”

Yes, the one which existed between the worlds of life and death.

Crack.

Gu Qing’an took off the hood of her raincoat and let the rain fall on her face to calm herself down.

The flames caused the temperature in the air to climb several degrees.

She looked at the fire burning in front of her and couldn’t help but admire it.

‘Good fellow, I used five bottles of kerosene, and it didn’t even make much noise!”

Gu Qing’an was also confused.

On the street just now, she found two more demons in the house.

One of them had been transformed into her Demon Hunting Point, which contributed to the defence attribute.

But, this one was embarrassing.

The kerosene was used so much that she couldn’t even get in.

She shouted outside, “Brother, stop resisting, the fire is so big, come out quickly.”

“Hurry up and die, so I can increase my Retribution Skill”

At that moment, the swamp suddenly occurred.

Boom!

The wall on the side collapsed, a blue-black arm stretched out from the wall, and a terrifying and hideous muscle troll emerged.

Cao Honghua said in a deep voice, “Little bug, I found you!
