“Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal…”
Li Che’s eyes were ice-cold. If not for that Corpse God Envoy’s mention, he wouldn’t have known that the quality of this Corpse Curse Seal was so high.
Clearly, the strong figure from the Corpse God Cult that Cao Guang had connected within Mansion City also held a significant status.
Being able to use the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal as a connecting link, Cao Guang intended to court favor, and the strong figure from the Corpse God Cult certainly possessed the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal.
Initially, Li Che had been puzzled as to why one of the three major gangs, the Fishing Gang, had targeted him.
Now, it seems that it had a great deal to do with this Corpse Curse Seal; clearly, it wasn’t because they sensed the Corpse Curse Seal, for Li Che had always used the Heaven and Earth Chessboard to block it, making it undetectable to others.
The adversaries had probably guessed that Cao Guang intended to impose the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal on Xi Xi.
So, they were focusing on Xi Xi.
They wanted to find out who had taken the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal…
“Corpse God Cult, Corpse Curse Seal…”
Li Che’s eyes were indifferent, filled with unreserved murderous intent.
“You are searching for me… but I am also searching for you…”
He raised his hand and touched the Corpse Curse Seal.
In an instant, it was as if black ink-like Corpse Qi was unleashed, releasing waves of Corpse Qi that spread in concentric circles across the entire chessboard.
After several expansions, two black chess pieces emitting Corpse Qi appeared on the chessboard.
Li Che looked up, gazing beyond the courtyard.
“Black Snake Gang…”
The two Martial Artists marked with the Corpse Curse Seal came from outside the small workshop courtyard; they were from the Black Snake Gang here to shadow him.
“As long as they are within ten feet of me, the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal can reveal those bearing the Corpse Curse Seal…”
“People of the Corpse God Cult, you cannot hide from my sight.”
Li Che’s eyes were ice-cold.
Towards the Corpse God Cult, he harbored no goodwill, only murderous intent.
After all, they coveted his daughter and initiated the horrifyingly inhumane Thousand Infants Sacrifice, utterly sinful…
They deserved to die!
They must die!
He would show no mercy.
The Temple Control Bureau and the Divine Guard Army might play the long game, but Li Che had no patience for that.
The one devoid of martial ethics was the Corpse God Cult, attempting to use the Corpse Curse Seal implanted in Li Zhengran’s body, planning to infect Xi Xi with such despicable means.
Then he, Li Che…
Needed to uphold what sort of martial ethics?
“It’s you who forced me first…”
Madness and ferocity surged in Li Che’s eyes.
With a casual sweep of his hand, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard expanded, enveloping the surroundings, shielding the small courtyard.
Li Che stood up, his blood suddenly boiling, black hair wildly fluttering, his bones cracking loudly!
“Huff—!”
“Inhale—!”
Li Che opened his mouth and, with every inhalation and exhalation, he stirred the airflow within the courtyard, accompanied by a whining roar, resembling a long dragon sweeping through!
Rustle rustle…
By his ears, the sound of blood surging flowed endlessly!
Li Che now possessed tremendous vitality, his mysterious veins had reached their peak, and his breath connected heaven and soles, making him seem completely linked with the universe!
Li Che seemed to enter a state of self-forgetfulness, as his inner Qi coursed and circulated within his body, forming the Circulation of the Heavens Count and seemingly opening up one acupoint after another on his body.
His mind seemed to float out, sensing every inch of change upon his body, the contraction and blooming of pores on his skin, and the process of his internal organs wriggling and trembling.
Each scene was reflected in his mind!
As if aided by a deity!
Boom—!
Suddenly, Li Che took a step forward, his fingers hooking like claws, gathered five streams of energy into a fist, and fiercely struck out, with a colorful ferocious tiger roaring out behind him.
It was the White Tiger Chaotic Wind Fist, which he had refined into a Superior Martial Art!
The White Tiger seemed lifelike, formed by the external eruption of inner Qi!
Roar!
The White Tiger roared to the heavens, instantly vivid, as if it had been endowed with essence, Qi, and spirit, becoming like a real creature!
This was the conceptual state of the Divine Pulse Martial Artist to refine a martial art into the Transformation Realm, integrating it with their own essence, Qi, and spirit.
And this step, for Li Che, who had talents like Dragon Elephant Vajra for cross-training, was not an issue at all!
Within his flesh, it seemed as if a tiger roared; his sinews and bones simultaneously burst forth noise, the speed at which his inner Qi operated increased rapidly, and the power emitted was greatly enhanced.
All his senses and perceptions were wholly elevated, and it felt as if he was about to burst his physical body, forming a perception power similar to Divine Sense.
In the middle of the courtyard, Li Che ended his practice and stood, his entire being like a fearsome, crouching tiger. As his eyes opened, his vitality exploded around him, almost turning substantial, blooming like a lotus.
Prison Lotus!
Great Scenery Temple Prison Lotus Divine Vein Technique!
This was the Divine Vein cultivation technique Li Che obtained from Cao Guang!
Now, he firmly stepped forward, his martial path entering the Divine Veins, and he could look forward to the realm of Grandmaster!
But Li Che did not stop.
His sword fingers tore through the air, Shocking Spear spewing out as he grasped it, and in its dance, the spear shadows seemed like streaks of light!
A mountain-collapsing, sea-inverting surge suddenly rose within the courtyard!
The Three-Eyed Wrathful True Lord’s Triple-Bladed Knife, this Divine Martial Art, was mastered by Li Che more and more adeptly, fully stabilizing his Major Accomplishment!
Withdrawing the knife, countless streaks of blade light slowly dissipated around him, cutting the wood shavings on the ground into pieces.
“Divine Pulse, achieved!”

As one of the three major gangs in Golden Light Prefecture City, the Fishing Gang had an immense sphere of influence, covering almost the entire area along the Nine Dragons River.
The Mansion City was vast, with many people, including many who came from towns and lower-tier cities outside the Prefecture to seek work at the Fishing Gang by the Nine Dragons River Bank.
Because it was close to the river where the river fish are abundant, handling and transporting the fish and aquatic products was abundant. Therefore, there were many labor-intense jobs available, attracting a large number of workers to the area.
