Chapter 265: Chapter 205: Curse Outbreak, Law Enforcers Confront Shang Jia_3

Just as Chen Qing was struggling to restrain his desire, Shang Jia and the Law Enforcer moved simultaneously.

Shang Jia’s physique was incredibly formidable, both in strength and speed, she was among the elite.

Her figure was like a beam of light, instantly closing in on the Law Enforcer, with a fist enveloped in the howling wind, fiercely smashing into the Law Enforcer’s chest.

However, the Law Enforcer was not a mechanical creation made of ordinary metal.

Its chest suddenly turned into a pool of liquid, tightly wrapping around Shang Jia’s fist.

The terrifying force squeezed Shang Jia’s bones, and she could clearly hear the sound of them shattering.

Intense pain excited Shang Jia, realizing that Chen Qing had quite a few valuable things on hand.

She violently yanked her hand from the chest cavity of the Law Enforcer, the immense force causing both her fist and wrist to tear.

Blood dripped down onto the deck, instantly absorbed by the mechanical ship.

Dark energy swirled around Shang Jia’s wound, the originally gruesome and terrifying wound instantly healed.

Chen Qing’s ship was large, providing plenty of space for them to demonstrate their skills.

The commotion on the ship was loud, but all the noise was sealed off by the Mechanical Heart.

Thus, nobody knew about the battle occurring here.

Even if Chen Qing killed Shang Jia, the Demon Dragon Pirates would have no evidence.

However, killing Shang Jia was not an easy task.

She had more to hold back on weighing down her decisions with each mysterious Black Beast, which was the cause of Chen Qing’s headache.

Previously standing behind Shang Jia, the Black Beast now appeared in front of Chen Qing.

Facing this beast he had never seen before, Chen Qing felt an unusually intense craving to eat it.

Moreover, this craving was many times greater than when he had faced Shang Jia.

Perhaps if Chen Qing ate it, the Half-Skeleton curse would forever follow him.

Chen Qing stepped back, and the Scavenger appeared opposite the Black Beast.

He couldn’t be sure that he could always restrain his craving while facing this beast, so the best approach was to let the mechanicals handle these "food items."

On the other side, the Law Enforcer and Shang Jia had clashed countless times already, with the Law Enforcer’s sword flashing like silver water flowing in the night.

The sharp blade cut through the air, each swing could strip some liquid metal from the Law enforcer’s body.

But soon, the stripped liquid metal would rapidly return to the Law Enforcer, restoring it to its original form.

Their fight was hard fought and neither seemed inclined to back down.

Nevertheless, both Chen Qing and Shang Jia knew this battle well, neither of them were putting in their full effort.

[Congratulations Survivor Chen Qing, you’ve gained 40 Extraordinary Points.]

[Detected Survivor engaging in eating behavior, Half-Skeleton curse extended by 24 hours.]

[Congratulations Survivor Chen Qing, you’ve gained 80 Extraordinary Points.]

[Detected Survivor engaging in eating behavior, Half-Skeleton curse extended by 48 hours.]

...

...

The System’s cold mechanical voice continued to echo in Chen Qing’s ears.

Gaining Extraordinary Points equated to eating behavior.

Chen Qing’s gaze shifted to the Black Beast entangled with the Scavenger.

Shang Jia also noticed the life force flowing out of the Black Beast and frowned involuntarily.

Her distraction was captured in the moment by the Law Enforcer, and his sharp sword pierced her chest.

[Congratulations Survivor Chen Qing, you’ve gained 100 Extraordinary Points.]

[Detected Survivor engaging in eating behavior, Half-Skeleton curse extended by 384 hours.]

[Congratulations Survivor Chen Qing, you’ve gained 100 Extraordinary Points.]

[Detected Survivor engaging in eating behavior, Half-Skeleton curse extended by 768 hours.]

...

As the sword pierced Shang Jia’s chest, the system prompt sounded again, continuously flashing.

Shang Jia, this person, was unusual.

Chen Qing, this person, was unusual.

This thought simultaneously appeared in the minds of Chen Qing and Shang Jia.

Chen Qing had never encountered a situation where he could gain Extraordinary Points from someone without killing them.

Except for the Blood Spirit, an unknown entity.

Shang Jia too, she had never encountered such a situation where it could draw life force from her and her cursed objects.

The initially fierce battle suddenly paused as both Chen Qing and Shang Jia fell silent.

The system’s alerts continued to flash relentlessly.

"..."

"..."

"Well, Xue Po and the others are probably waiting for me to come back for supper."

Shang Jia calmly pulled out the Law Enforcer’s sword, wiping the blood from her lips.

"Hmm, take care."

Chen Qing nodded, responding calmly.

The two acted as if the previous events had never happened, conversing normally.

Since both parties had their own issues, it was best to pretend to be unaware, after all, neither was clean.

Curiosity should not weigh too heavily.

Besides, Chen Qing had more important matters to resolve.

The substantial amount of Extraordinary Points extracted from both Shang Jia and the Black Beast led to a slight change in something.
