Chapter 377: The Jiao
Roar! Roar!
A deafening tiger’s roar shook the heavens.
The Tiger-Winged Eagles had detected the disturbance. Dozens of them soared into the sky, their thunderous cries echoing as they surged forward like a rolling mass of black clouds. Their demonic qi billowed upward, exuding a menacing aura.
Qin Sang sensed the incoming threat and his expression shifted slightly. He swiftly retracted the Yellow Sand Banner and hurriedly gathered the corpses of Kong Xin and the black-robed man.
He had originally intended to capture Kong Xin alive and refine him into a malevolent corpse. However, with Wandering Man present, he could not openly perform corpse refinement. That was why he had deployed the Yellow Sand Banner—to obscure his actions and seek an opportunity to do so unnoticed.
Unfortunately, the Tiger-Winged Eagles were far too perceptive, and Kong Xin had activated an unknown secret art that even made Qin Sang feel a faint sense of danger. Left with no choice, he had to directly use his ebony sword to execute Kong Xin.
Wandering Man reacted just as swiftly as Qin Sang. He had already summoned the Spiritual Bamboo Flying Boat, and the two of them boarded it, fleeing into the distance. Taking turns controlling the boat, they finally managed to shake off the Tiger-Winged Eagles and landed in a concealed location.
Qin Sang flung the corpses of Kong Xin and the black-robed man onto the ground. The black-robed man had been crushed by the Black Dragon Stone, his spine shattered, his upper body mangled beyond recognition. Kong Xin, on the other hand, had used some kind of secret art that left his body a bloodied mess, with his Qihai severely damaged. His corpse was now incapable of withstanding the infusion of malevolent qi, making him unsuitable for corpse refinement.
Qin Sang felt a twinge of disappointment. He searched the bodies and opened their Mustard Seed Pouches, spilling out their contents.
Wandering Man took the Blue Light Sword, while Qin Sang claimed the Crimson Core, the Cold Gold's mother lode, and a few other valuable materials. The rest were unremarkable.
However, two jade slips caught Qin Sang’s attention.
