Inside the broken temple, the stone statues were toppled and askew, appearing rather hideous.

At dusk, crows cawed and a gloomy wind blew, making even Qin Zhiyan, a martial artist, shudder in fear.

Yet, she was a courageous and talented lady. She went to the backyard where several meditation rooms were pretty clean. On the east side stood a Bodhi tree, on which hung a human face skin. Its two pitch-black eye sockets stared right at her. This chilled Qin Zhiyan to the bone, and she shivered involuntarily.

Even as a young woman who had been through the World of Secret Realm, she couldn’t help but fear.

Underneath the tree was a well. At that moment, a large amount of hair emerged from the well and spread rapidly and silently. Simultaneously, she felt a brightness on her neck. As she turned her head, she found a stone statue appearing behind her out of nowhere.

“I was almost scared to death!” Qin Zhiyan conveyed solemnly, “Then I screamed and lashed out, killing everything in sight. But they revived almost immediately, which chilled my heart! Later, by triggering the Sword Intention and killing them again, they were finally obliterated.”

“What on earth was it?”

“It’s called Bizarre. It was truly unbelievably bizarre, possessing incredible abilities, and devoid of emotion, ruthless, bloodthirsty, and so on. To kill them, one can only rely on the power of realm, Buddha’s Light, Thunder Power, and so on.”

Qin Zhiyan shared her experiences.

Bizarre creatures were similar to ghosts but different in several ways.

They were genuinely bizarre.

“In the vast world, there really is everything!” Jiang Ming had a feeling that he would also encounter them someday.

Qin Zhiyan’s experiences were rather straightforward. After the incident in the broken temple, she found a city to settle down temporarily and began her arduous cultivation.

Because of the sword art he taught her, she gradually comprehended the Realm of Water. Later, she also luckily entered the Fire Realm.

Relatively speaking, the Fire Realm was more deadly against the Bizarre. After all, fire represented the Yang energy and it also contained light.

Of course, she also entered the Fourth Realm of Martial Arts.

With her increased cultivation level, her strength became even more solid.

“Among many achievements, there’s one that was relatively easier for me,” Qin Zhiyan spoke slowly, “That is to kill the source of the Bizarre within the Bizarre City.”

“I thought it would be very easy!”

“Really!”

“I waited till there were only three months left before departure to make my move, just to avoid any accidents.”

“But when I got to Bizarre City, my scalp tingled,” said Qin Zhiyan, still somewhat fearful, “During the daytime, there was not much difference between it and other places. But when I unintentionally released my killing intention, everyone on the street stopped and turned to look at me.”

“Do you know what that feels like!”

“It made me feel a bone-chilling cold deep in my heart.”

“At that moment, my scalp exploded.”

“I stayed in a wine shop overnight. When I heard some noise outside and opened the window to look out, 1 saw a headless man over ten meters tall walking down the street. He had no arms but numerous tentacles. He grabbed a person from a nearby house and stuffed them into the cavity of his neck.” “Enveloped in black fog, it was deathly cold!”

“Then a tentacle swiped at me. In my panic, I didn’t hesitate to fight back, using the power of the Fire Realm to kill it!”

“It was not as strong as 1 imagined!”

“After 1 killed him, all the windows on both sides of the street opened, and each window had a person staring at me. Behind them was darkness, but something seemed to squirm in that darkness. The terrifying aura almost made my heart stop, and my blood turned cold.”

“Especially their eyes, they were extremely cold, without any emotional color. They looked at me as if they were looking at a dead person, no, more like a delicious food.”

“Then, the house door opened, and a mass of people rushed out towards me. Some were holding forks, some kitchen knives, some rolling pins, some ladles and so on…”

“Coming from all eight directions, like a raging tide!”

“Jiang Ming, what should I do?”

Qin Zhiyan was still terrified.

That scene was like a nightmare, but it still affected her to this day.

“Kill!”

“Kill? Why?”

“The Bizarre you mentioned was comparable to ghosts. Would there be any normal people in the Bizarre City? And all other indications clearly show they were not normal. Even if they were not Bizarre creatures, they were probably not living people anymore. You absolutely have to kill them. The first rule after descent is self-protection.”

Jiang Ming’s voice was somewhat indifferent.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴoᴠel ꜰɪre.nᴇt

The first time, he felt extreme pity; the second time, he merely adhered to his bottom line. If he had the capability, then he would do more.

When facing danger, if you’re unable to let loose and worry too much, then you’re only digging your own grave.

“When you say it like that, I feel a bit relieved! At that time, 1 was merely defending. But the crowd was too large. They came from every direction. I eventually had to fight back. After killing one, I found their bodies rotted rapidly. Even so, 1 still felt very guilty. I kept asking myself: if I have struck an ordinary person, am I still a good person? Do 1 still have a conscience? Do 1 still have a moral bottom line? If it were a bad person, it wouldn’t matter, but those were ordinary people!” Qin Zhiyan looked a bit lost, “I’ve been contemplating.. What are we cultivating for? If the shoes were on the other foot and I was killed randomly, how would 1 feel? 1 just want to take control of my destiny by enhancing myself, but what about the ones who got killed?”
