The old man's voice was cold and contained a hint of killing intent.
There was also a baleful aura that instinctively emitted from him, which was further enhanced by his serious expression that concealed malevolence.
Xu Qing could sense that this old man was also at the Nascent Soul realm but his aura felt stronger than Sick Ghost's. He nodded in acknowledgment.
"Very good." The old man looked at Xu Qing and laughed a cold laugh.
"Sick Ghost relied on the characteristic of coexisting with the Holy Wave Race's poison to always release poison. However, he has limited knowledge when it comes to the Dao of Poison. This batch of Sword Holders is quite impressive!"
"Your name is Xu Qing, isn't it? Come over here. As a reward for poisoning Sick Ghost, I'll allow you to assist me in explaining the myriad races."
Xu Qing stood up and walked toward the old man, and stood by his side.
The old man's gaze moved away from Xu Qing and looked at everyone in the hall.
"You can call me Ghost Hand. I'm in charge of explaining some common characteristics and fatal points of the myriad races to you."
Qing Qiu instinctively glanced at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing focused. He could sense a strong smell of blood from the old man. At the same time, he also noticed that the reverence in Kong Xianglong's expression surpassed the latter's reverence for Sick Ghost.
Just as Xu Qing was in deep thought, Kong Xianglong's voice transmission rang out in his ears.
'Pawn.'
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. He knew the meaning of Pawn. This meant that this old man in front of him was from the Prison Department.
His interest in the content the other party was about to explain increased greatly.
Previously, when he was in the Seven Blood Eyes' Homicide Department, he had interacted with some nonhuman races and knew that the body structures of many races were extremely different from the human race. This also made their fatal points different.
For example, the Bizarre Fiend Race and the Starfish Race had different fatal points.
"Smoke Race, this race was born under the sun and lives within the breath of the heavens. They don't seem to have any fatal points, but in reality, their bodies are riddled with them. You need to use wind spells to stimulate…"
"Xu Qing, catch."
The old man spoke calmly, then waved his right hand. Immediately, a piece of ice appeared in front of him and floated in front of Xu Qing.
Xu Qing immediately caught it.
Being at such a close distance, he could sense it more clearly than others.
This ice was transparent and he could faintly see a wisp of smoke sealed inside.
"You can even make it more simple. For example, you can seal them in ice."
After introducing the Smoke Race, the old man flicked his sleeve and kept the ice before continuing to introduce the other races.
"The Cloth Hair Race can turn their enemies into puppets using their innate talent. Their fatal area is their third finger. That's where their lifeline is."
The old man waved his hand again, and a small, skinny corpse appeared in front of him. It also floated in front of Xu Qing and was controlled by Xu Qing with a spell. He then moved the corpse around according to the old man's request.
This corpse was green and there was a horn on its head. Its entire body was naked and wrinkled.
"Xu Qing, find his third finger."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing immediately lifted the right hand of the corpse and showed the half-broken third finger to all the Sword Holders.
"There's also the Two Faces Race, a close relative branch of the Holy Demon Race."
"Due to the alliance agreement, the Holy Demon Race can't kill wantonly, but the Two Faces Race can. Like the Holy Demon Race, they have powerful physical prowess. The moment their two faces rotate, strike their glabellas."
The old man waved his hand again and took out a Two Faces Race's corpse that was more than 20 feet tall. Blood was dripping from his glabella.
Xu Qing's perception was even clearer. He could tell that the injury on the Two Faces was a sword mark. The sword had penetrated through the entire head and the two glabellas.
The expressions of the Sword Holders in the surroundings turned solemn. All of them became fully engrossed in what was being said.
The old man continued to speak, describing a hundred nonhuman races in great detail. With each explanation, he would take out a specimen of that race. Every specimen looked like they had died not long ago.
There were also some who were still alive and were directly killed by the old man in front of everyone.
Gradually, the stench of blood in the hall became denser.
During this process, Xu Qing gained a lot.
Not only could he see clearly, but his perception was also thorough. He could also sense many details.
"The last one is a Quasi-Immortal." At this point, the old man grinned as though his mood became better from killing earlier. He took out a wine gourd and took a big gulp.
"The ones you saw earlier were all hunted down and killed by me to use in this presentation. Every one of them has cruelly killed human cultivators which includes Sword Holders as well. All of them are wanted by the Sword Holding Palace."
"I'm very happy that there aren't any pedantic people in your batch who feel sympathy for the foreign races. There were occasionally such idiots in the early years."
"It's not easy to get close to the Quasi-Immortals. I brought this one out of the Prison Department. Unfortunately, it's the same as the Holy Demon Race, it can't be killed." As the old man spoke, he waved his hand and the Quasi-Immortal appeared in front of everyone.
This Quasi-Immortal cultivator was unconscious and was floating in the air.
"Look carefully. The Quasi-Immortal Race is similar to the human race but they have five hearts. This is their strength and their regenerative ability is very strong. They have few fatal points. Compared to the hearts, I personally feel that their kidneys are more fatal."
"Of course, if you encounter it in the future, you can try to dismember it. That way, nothing will go wrong."
"What I'm talking about is the fatal points of the physical bodies of the various races. There are differences because of different arts and techniques, so you'll have to assess these on the spot."
