A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Without any specific reason, Zoie felt a chill in her heart, so she whispered, “Be careful. Then, she and Bradley led a few trembling students down the stairs,

There was quite a distance between William and the middle–aged man. They stared at each other without moving.

“I was just wondering why that young man wants to harm people, so it turns out someone is manipulating him in secret. William expressed his opinion. “What was your goal in killing innocent students?”

“I didn’t expect that someone would come to investigate when it’s been six years since the incident happened,” the middle–aged man responded in a magnetic baritone voice with cadence.

“Why did you suddenly appear here? So that you can keep me here?” William asked.

“Yes,” the man replied calmly. “That vengeful spirit was the result of my seven–year planning. Yet, you sent it to the afterlife. Do you think I can spare you?”

William nodded. “I’m not really a part of the martial world, but I happen to know some witchcraft. If you. want to fight me, come on quick. Don’t waste my time.”

Suddenly, the man burst out laughing. “Do you know that I have placed restrictions on this entire building? None of the people who came with you can leave.”

“Is that so?” William remained calm. Even in the darkness, he could clearly see that the man had a piece of talisman stuck to his back, which meant that he was not a real person but a corpse controlled by someone else.

He then secretly observed the entire building with his third eye and found a skinny older man right below him, muttering incantations while staring upward.

“You’re cursing me?!” shouted the furious William. “It’s still not too late to give up now.”

The moment he said that, he stomped on the concrete ground, and a large piece of concrete, along with some dust, fell.

Underneath him, the skinny older man was chanting a spell, so he was caught off guard. Immediately, he rolled aside.

As William descended from the sky, he landed with a foot on the man’s back.

With a crack, the skinny old man’s spine was broken, and he collapsed on the spot, defecating and urinating himself.

Although the man knew witchcraft, his skills were really ordinary, only at the level of the Strength Realm. William easily defeated him.

Then, William stepped forward and inserted several needles into the older man’s head. The light in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his face was filled with fear. “How did you know I was hiding down there?”

William didn’t bother to explain at all; he slapped the old man in the face and asked, “Old man, were you cursing me just now?”

man said with a resentful expression.

With another slap, William shattered all of his teeth and caused blood to flow from his mouth. “You said you placed a restriction here?”

There’s no restriction. I lied. The old man’s arrogance significantly diminished after being hit twice.

Then, William demanded, “Tell me. Why did you kill those girls?”

“I cultivated the ‘Ghost Path, and that boy had a natural soul that was perfect for refining vengeful spirits. To make the vengeful spirit stronger, I needed to kill more people and absorb their souls to strengthen the vengeful spirit,” the old man explained.
