The Invincible Corruption Manual

Joey also opened up his eyes, saw the dried up and old-looking corpses of the 7 elders sitting crossed legs on the ground before him.

"Ah, just what the hell is really happening outside here. Did I just go overboard in sucking their essence qi? Hmph, " Joey sighed and murmured, "May all your souls rest in peace. We don't have any enmity between us, your only mistake which links to my karma is that you join this damn Sect. What a freakish thing! I should be more careful while handling that mass of the Corruption ball from onward. I don't really like something like this to happen once again." He warned himself as he didn't really like something exactly like this to happen again. He liked everything to be perfectly under his control.

Seeing the things that were transpiring just now, a commotion started among the disciples of the Sect around there.

"Run everyone, he is a devil!" screamed someone among them. Then all of them started running disorderly in every direction.

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly the spot Joey had been right now exploded with a loud bang. Later, a huge pit was formed at that exact spot.

A youth who seemed to be in his late 20's appeared in the air just above the huge pit. He had red hair, looked lean and petite.

"Good, you can dodge that easily. Hahaha," he laughed and continued speaking, "Finally someone with skill. I am Gu Gujeng, the personal disciple of Sect master Yuwen Tai. Wow, you even kill those 7 douchebags without lifting a single finger. I have never seen or heard anything about you before in the Central continent. Brat, who really are you?"

"Oh, you seem a bit close to that bastard Yuwen Tai. Must have known where he is right now. Go, call him here right immediately. " Joey responded coldly.

"Wow, your attitudes are even more to my liking. '' Gu Gujeng continued, "To call him here. That will not be possible. Right now he is in his closed-door training and you will not be able to find his current location even if you searched all over this entire Sect. But, don't worry.  If you can defeat me, I will tell you where exactly he is right now." He coquettishly said and then affectionately smiled at Joey.

Joey felt a chill go down his spine after seeing his action. His forehead also started sweating profusely.

"Alright, let's have a duel then," Joey replied after regaining his own composer.

"Aren't you a bit rude to this lady? I have just introduced myself, but why don't you introduce yourself first? " Gu Gujeng complained while he pouted at him trying to act cute.

"Ah, this lady!" Joey exclaimed and then he shook his head, a wry helpless smile appeared on his face. He then cupped his hands and introduced himself, "Brother Gu Gujeng, ah sorry, …sister Gu Gujeng,... No wrong. Damn it. Just tell me how should I call you."

"Heehee, just Jeng Jeng will be fine." Gu Gujeng responded while giggling flirtatiously. (Calling him Jeng Jeng will be more awkward for Joey as it is usually called intimately to their girlfriends or close ones.)

"Fine, I will call you, Daoist Gujeng. " Joey responded. He again cupped toward him and introduced himself politely, "Daoist Gujing, I am called Joey. I don't know why you are trying to betray your own master and I don't really care. But, I will warn you this, never go back on your words." and he shouted,"  Alright, come. Let's start the duel. "

"That is more like it. I am coming. Hahahaha," Gu Gujeng's previous soft voice suddenly changed to a manly voice and he shouted, "Show me what you got, " He then took a step toward Joey, and the next moment he reappeared just beside him and he punched Joey at his chest.

Joey used his palm and blocked his fist.

Bang!

Joey was forced to step back 5 steps just from that punch.

"Nice, you are the first one to not receive any damage after receiving that punch of mine." Gu Gujeng praised him, he then softened his voice and continued speaking, "Heeheehee, brother Joey, you are becoming more and more attractive.  What should I do? I am totally about to fall for you." And he acted coyly toward him.

Joey sweated profusely all over his body. He then smiled wryly and responded politely, "Forgive me, Daoist Gujeng. I am not that kind of person."

"What do you mean?" Gu Gujeng asked with a slight frown.

Joey remained silent.

"Fine, I will take that as the rejection of this beautiful lady here. After this, I will never accept your feelings no matter how much you feel for me as well." Gu Gujeng snorted and she screamed angrily in her mind, " So hateful! Do you think I am a man? For heaven's sake, I really start to regret killing this Gu Gujing bastard and disguising myself as him. Fine, it is my fault anyway. Hmm, I must have disguised myself as one of those female disciples instead. "

"Daoist Gujeng, let's finish this duel quickly. Otherwise, my patience will run out soon. Come attack me with all your full-strike attacks. " Joey spoke out with a sterner voice.

Then the two started engaging in another bout of melee attacks. This time Joey was thrown back by her punch.

They began fighting in a draw with a leg for leg and a fist for a fist about 10 minutes. Then they separated into a long distance.

"Alright if you could receive this strike of mine, then I will consider this duel as my loss." She announced. Then she made various hand seals while using the essence qi inside her Dantian. After she  finally completed channeling the spell in her hands, she shouted, "My Extreme Fire Essence qi, Come Forth." And then a white color fire suddenly appeared above his hands. Just after it appeared, the surrounding temperature rapidly started falling at an instance.

Joey also exclaimed with surprise, "Ah, a tier 9 alchemist essence Fire!" An odd sensation of chilling swept through his body.
