Chapter 29: Chapter 29: New Extraordinary Bullet
Tang Qi's vision was suddenly assaulted by two ferocious dark shadows, who, despite appearing as beautiful won, emitted a nauseating stench of rot mixed with blood, instinctively repelling anyone who slled it.
Their sharp claws lunged toward Tang Qi's head and chest, but with his powerful eyesight, Tang Qi could still make out the red and black nail polish coated on their nails.
It was patchy and cheap, mostly chipped away.
"Terrible taste, just as the books described."
"Bang"
"Hiss~"
As he spoke, Tang Qi didn't make any grand gestures, rely stepping back slightly and sidestepping, dodging the attacks of the two corpse-eating nightingales.
As the pale white of his fists slowly clenched, and the nightingales hissed amid their rotting stench, Tang Qi's fist found its way to one's face, while his whip-like kick delivered its full force to the other.
"Bang~Crack"
"Boom"
Their approach was fast; their retreat, blown back, was just as brisk.
If they had any wisdom left, this exchange would reveal to them that Tang Qi was no ordinary human youth, at least not in close combat where they had no advantage.
However, they didn't flee but instead roared in anger and, driven by beastly instinct, charged at Tang Qi again.
Shaking his head, Tang Qi stepped deeper into the alley, swiftly approaching the corpse of the unlucky middle-aged office worker. With a poised hand, he grabbed the head of the first charging corpse-eating nightingale and smashed it against the nearby wall.
Another kick followed, an explosive sound in the air, as his fierce strength struck the chin of the second nightingale.
A crisp "snap" was heard, and the nightingale's head, along with its jaw, shattered under Tang Qi's kick.
Three seconds?
No, not even three seconds.
A battle that should have been grueso was declared over, the disparity in power too great.
Tang Qi then turned his attention to the two dying corpse-eating nightingales, and the special interface indeed popped up.
[Extraordinary Creatures: Corpse-eating Nightingales.]
[State: Dying.]
[Information Fragnt One: Once-thriving ghouls, after being eradicated, left behind viruses of decent infectiousness around the world. They might not reproduce the ghoul species, but creating disgusting creatures took no effort.]
[Information Fragnt Two: Corpse-eating Nightingales, are one such creation.]
As always, Tang Qi saw the information fragnts.
However, this ti, the information provided by his special ability wasn't much more than what he learned from books.
Tang Qi recalled a Chapter from "Federation Hundred Years of Strange, Absurd, and Real" that described in detail the so-called corpse-eating nightingales.
Of course, disregarding the tales of unknown veracity.
To sum it up briefly, these were streetwalkers infected by the ghoul virus, turning into extraordinary creatures.
They stayed normal until the ghoul state triggered, transforming them into man-eating monsters with significantly enhanced physical abilities, or else they wouldn't be able to eat those clients, right?
Sadly, no matter how much they were enhanced, they were no match for Tang Qi.
As a beginner in Chaga Fighting Technique and enhancing various attributes daily, a re move from Tang Qi was comparable to a top Fighting Master.
And they, rely driven by instinctive beastly hunger.
Tang Qi ca back to his senses, looking at the corpse of the office worker on the ground and the slowly recovering two corpse-eating nightingales. With clenched fists, a warm surge of power flowed into his palms, and with two "bangs," released it all.
Simultaneously, two "crack" sounds ca from the wall and from the ground.
With their skulls shattered to pieces, even ghouls couldn't survive.
Upon their death, two grey resentful souls drifted out, and before they could attempt to flee, a pair of hands surrounded by golden light flas clasped them.
"Whoo"
A breeze blew through, and calm returned to the alley.
In Tang Qi's mind's grey mist space, two small clusters of golden light points appeared.
He then looked at himself, as the interface popped up.
Indeed, the ditation thod and Molten Furnace Eye made progress, each rising by 0.02%, while Chaga Fighting Technique only by 0.01%.
"It seems that after devouring the resentful souls of extraordinary creatures, the most significant increase is in ditation thods and derivative skills. This kill was completely done using fighting skills, yet the increase was the smallest. However, compared to painstaking cultivation, this path is much faster."
"Perhaps we could develop a bit more; it doesn't seem very difficult."
"Bait? Oh no, it should be considered so sort of inducent."
"However, I cannot be completely sure yet, shall I verify it tomorrow?"
Tang Qi muttered to himself as he turned to grab a book-filled bag from the corner and headed ho.
Behind him, three corpses gradually beca rigid.
Although it's incredible, the Blank District is indeed chaotic like this.
If it weren't for this chaos, there wouldn't be things like Corpse Collection Vehicles and professions like Corpse Collectors.
With the intensifying mutation, Tang Qi could almost predict that areas like the Blank District might beco a real no-go zone of horror.
Before that, Tang Qi planned to do everything possible to strengthen his own power.
Especially after discovering that "shortcut
