The evil Qi is out of control!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang: \"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the mutation of the Year-Suppressors was not on the program for the Year-End Ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers of Huaigu reacted quickly, as if they had undergone relevant training; seeing the ghost messengers killed, the onlookers immediately scattered and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in front of the crowd, the villagers responsible for guarding against monster attacks immediately held their special rattan shields and gathered around with wooden spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers responsible for security were mostly hunters from the village; they all possessed martial arts skills and were familiar with the characteristics of wild beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In groups of five or six, using special shouts and potions, they quickly separated the three huddled Year-Suppressors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most eye-catching person in the field was the leader of the hunters, Liu Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Liu Wei's hand was a wide-bladed hunting knife, a full four feet long, with irregular serrations covering the blade, whistling as he swung it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scales that grew on the Year-Suppressors' bodies after their mutation were tough, making them difficult to pierce with wood-chopping knives and wooden spears, but as long as they were touched by the wide-bladed hunting knife, they would suffer shattered scales and torn flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on his superior martial arts, Liu Wei actually held off one Year-Suppressor one-on-one, not falling behind in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparing this to his own attributes, Wu Chang judged that Liu Wei's strength likely reached 30, his agility was close to 20, his health would be no lower than 20, and as a hunter who ventured into the mountains, his stamina would naturally not be poor either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps his actual attributes were lower, but through the enhancement of his martial arts, his performance was even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no wonder Liu Wei and Liu Wu could repeatedly succeed in ambushing players; although they had no means to resist the monsters' spells, they were not to be trifled with when dealing with living people or wild beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Year-Suppressors seemed to have been \"possessed\" by the Mountain-Suppressing Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the villagers surrounding them layer by layer, it reminded them of the days they were kept in captivity within the Hollow Mountain, and they pulled their mouths wide to let out roars like tigers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Negative emotions such as anxiety, unease, and panic transformed into tangible black ripples, sweeping across the entire valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a shadow clouded the eyes of the villagers, who felt their heads grow dizzy and their limbs become increasingly heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, a desire for destruction hidden deep within their souls filled their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Lin owes me three jugs of wine and hasn't paid me back after three months; I've long wanted to teach him a lesson, and now is the perfect time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That piece of trash Shunzi took more of my family's land for farming this year, why not...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kid Shi Ning, relying on his close relationship with the Liu Wei brothers, has dared to step on my head several times while hunting. So you call yourself Iron-Head Shi, do you? I want to see if your head is really as hard as stone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers affected by the ripples began to look at their teammates' backs with malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unclear who moved first, but when the first cry of \"You bastard, how dare you ambush me!\" rang out, it ignited the massive powder keg that was Huaigu Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the direction where the ordinary villagers were hiding, the sounds of fighting could be faintly heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The valley was in complete disarray; only Wu Chang and Liu Shan, who stood by the four-directional Year-Fire lamps, remained unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the chaotic valley, Liu Shan said helplessly: \"Hero Wu, I fear the evil Qi has spread into the village. Please, could you go and check the situation over there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang nodded in agreement and left along the edge of the chaotic battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arrived at the place where the villagers lived and found that although the evil Qi had reached here, the damage caused was limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had moved away from the Year-End Ritual site at the first opportunity were mostly the elderly, weak, women, and children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they were incited to evil thoughts by the evil spirits, they were merely pulling each other's hair or, at most, wrestling on the ground, far less dangerous than the real blades and guns on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the villagers were unharmed, he did not reveal himself, but turned and returned to the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he appeared now, he would surely be seen as a savior by the villagers and be surrounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a player, here to clear the dungeon, not to be a babysitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had more important things to do right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a sense, the Year-End Ritual was already over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Welcoming the Year, Suppressing the Year, and Guarding the Year segments had all been completed safely; although there were problems with the final Year-Ending, as long as the three monster-transformed Year-Suppressors were killed, it could still be considered the removal of the evil Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three monster-transformed Year-Suppressors had formidable combat power, but affected by the evil Qi, they had lost their reason and could only act on instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a situation where they were fighting individually, as long as Liu Wei didn't have any issues, resolving the three monster-transformed Year-Suppressors was only a matter of time and cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one expected that the village's main combat force, Liu Wei, had actually slipped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on his powerful suppression, Liu Wei kept forcing one Year-Suppressor toward the edge of the village, shouting that he was enough and telling others to deal with the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the people around were mostly gone, he put on a white half-face mask and summoned his ghost thralls. Several ghost thralls crawled out from the mask, hugging the Year-Suppressor's limbs, and while the Year-Suppressor was distracted and struggling, Liu Wei lunged forward and stabbed his knife into the Year-Suppressor's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade sank more than halfway into the flesh; Liu Wei twisted his wrist, churning and tearing the blade inside the Year-Suppressor's chest, shredding the organs inside, along with the heart of the Mountain-Suppressing Beast it had swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the evil Qi could dissipate from the Year-Suppressor's body, the ghost thralls swarmed up and devoured the evil Qi clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A great tonic! Feeling the surging spiritual power within the mask, Liu Wei let the mask burp in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Liu Wei was about to take off the mask, he discovered a villager in the distance staring blankly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jinfu, didn't I tell you all to go back, that I alone was enough?\" Liu Wei said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jinfu trembled and said: \"I was worried something happened to you and wanted to ask if you needed help. Brother Wei, just now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei shook his head and slowly raised his knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are all brothers of the same village, why make it hard for your brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jinfu wanted to run, but his limbs were incredibly heavy, and several ghost thralls dragged his body, preventing him from taking a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei approached quickly, his hand rising and the knife falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throwing Liu Jinfu's corpse onto the Year-Suppressor, this time there was truly no one left around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not return to the Year-End Ritual site but turned and left the village along a small path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was different from Wu Chang; he was a native of the dungeon plane. What he wanted was not just the completion of the Year-End Ritual, but to use the ritual to weaken the evil spirit's power and then find an opportunity to devour it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, the Year-End Ritual could be said to be a complete failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That the evil spirit could ignore the Year-Ending formation and Year-Fire to control the Year-Suppressors with evil Qi meant that its escape from the seal was only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they could resolve the Year-Suppressors, what would be the point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the head of the Huaigu Village hunters, Liu Wei's vision was long-term; while others were still thinking about how to deal with the Year-Suppressors, he had already begun to study his opponents after the seal was broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Liu Wu were still here, the two of them manipulating the ghost thralls together, the situation would not be so dire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was alone, it would take some effort to drive the ghost thralls to devour the evil spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more this was the case, the more he had to conserve his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With things having developed to this point, he could only hope that Hero Wu was a hot-headed fool who would fight the evil spirit to a mutual destruction, allowing him to play the role of the oriole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what would happen to the people in the village?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was never a problem he worried about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He usually acted with loyalty, but in reality, his feelings were shallow; whoever stood in his way, he would eliminate without blinking an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even toward his own wife and children, beneath the surface closeness, there was always a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only person in this world he could truly trust was his own brother, Liu Wu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the village, he headed straight for the Ghost-Wailing Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of this opportunity, he had to bring all his ghost thralls with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway there, he discovered a black shadow standing in the forest by the side of the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking closely, it was a horse tied to the side of the road, and the red reins on the horse were very familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The safety charm hanging on the reins had been personally consecrated by the abbot of Longqi Temple, the largest temple in Jingyuan Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the abbot was unwilling; even when he held all the monks in the temple hostage, the abbot would not yield, insisting that he kill a quarter of them before he would cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not possibly mistake that special safety charm; it was his brother Wu's horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, the half-mask on his face was also trembling slightly, clearly the other half of the mask was nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that his brother Wu had calmed down, not acted rashly, but had been hiding around the village waiting for a good opportunity? Liu Wei was somewhat excited; the brothers had roamed together since childhood, and the two had a tacit understanding and worked well together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the two brothers joined forces with their blades, they might not be without a chance to fight the evil spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He approached Liu Wu's horse and whispered: \"You kid, you always manage to come up with new tricks for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"New ones? Let me show you something even newer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!
