Chapter 161

Fang Yue's face changed, he gritted his teeth against the pain, rolling over a dozen times before escaping the falling tree's range.

Boom.

The century-old tree fell, dust swirling everywhere.

Fang Yue gasped for breath, feeling as if dozens of bones in his body had shattered, leaving him utterly powerless to struggle.

Fang Yue had always thought his escort team was fairly strong.

But now, he knew he was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, this escort team faced a real risk of being overturned by a Black-Grade Initial Weird!

Although the Sheep-Empty Gui Yi was among the most unusual and formidable of Black-Grade Initial Stage Gui Yi,

it was undeniably, truly, a Black-Grade Initial Stage entity!

Tap-tap-tap-tap!

Through the swirling dust ahead, something was rapidly approaching.

It was the sound of sheep hooves on the village path!

"Yeye!"

"Deputy Captain Ye!"

"Ye Ge!"

Three voices erupted nearly simultaneously.

Amid the three shouts, a dark shadow shot through the dust, leaping into the air and appearing before Fang Yue.

It looked down at Fang Yue on the ground, its goat hoof aimed at his skull, plunging straight down!

Fierce, precise, cold — like a perfect killing machine!

This Sheep-Empty Gui Yi carried such heavy malice!

"No!!"

An Shenyi's face turned pale.

"Don't!"

The Blood Hunter roared, ordering the newly revived 【Giant-Head Blood Dog】 to charge forward — but the distance was already too far.

"Aba aba!"

Niu Niu drooled stupidly, frantic and forgetting to send a message.

In this life-or-death moment, Fang Yue, like a user hitting his daily depression quota, tilted his head up at a forty-five-degree angle and calmly spoke four words.

"The night is beautiful."

Night, Advent!

Thud!!

The goat hoof slammed onto Fang Yue's skull, sinking the ground several millimeters and shaking violently.

But amid the swirling dust, a number floated up, light as air.

1.

What!?

The Sheep-Empty Gui Yi's expression seemed to say those two words — disbelievingly looking down at its foot.

There, beneath it, the human had somehow seized its goat hoof with his right hand!

Face-to-attack, nearly unharmed?!

Through the gaps of the goat hoof, it seemed the human was smiling — baring his teeth, laughing loudly!

"Now, it's my turn!"

Crack!

The Sheep-Empty Gui Yi's right foot, just moments ago so mighty, was snapped clean off.

315!

What?!

The Sheep-Empty Gui Yi immediately knelt halfway, unable to believe what had just happened.

Its foot… its invincible right foot… had been broken by a human?!

The Sheep-Empty Gui Yi strained to turn its head, lifting it to stare at the now-standing human, utterly stunned.

At that moment, Fang Yue sneered, raised his blade, and slashed down at its neck!

Bang!!

Hssss—

Black blood sprayed out!

"Baa!!!"

721!

The Cold Moon Blade, which a moment ago couldn't even pierce its skin, now sank three inches into bone, making the Sheep-Empty Gui Yi scream in agony — its raised head was smashed downward by Supernatural Strength — what an humiliation! A mere human! A mere human!!

Staring at the ground, the Sheep-Empty Gui Yi trembled all over, its rage surging straight to the heavens.

"Huh? Didn't cut off the head?"

Fang Yue's mocking voice rang out, and immediately his blade began sparking with crackling stars.

A brief pause…

Boom!!

Fire, ignited!

"Baa baa baa baa baa?!!"

The burning flames, the agonizing Sheep Ghost's HP plummeting wildly, a pain sensation he hadn't felt in a long time, nearly made it pass out.

It smelled death for the first time in its life.

"Baa baa baa baa baa baa!"

"Baa baa baa baa baa baa!!"

It struggled in panic, begging for mercy, but no one understood, and no one intended to understand! -

255!

281!

271!

Every second the blade burned, it took away a massive chunk of the Sheep Ghost's HP.

And Fang Yue did not stop there!

Spark Internal Skill!

Level-3 Spark Blade Technique, directly Control +20, Deflection +20! Spark Blade Technique's power multiplier increased!

Spark Blade Technique!

Control +10 points, combined with the pure Spark Heart Method, the raging flames nearly blazed sky-high!

"Die!!"

Control: 86.2 【Base: 36.2】 【Status/Buff: +50】.

【Spark Package】 + Night Breathing, at this moment Fang Yue was at his Xian!

With full power unleashed, the Leng Yue blade that had been stuck on the Sheep Ghost's neck, burning with flames, came down in a single slash!!

This slash was incomparably smooth, almost encountering no resistance at all.

It cut straight through half the Sheep Ghost's neck, severing its head on the spot, and burned the severed neck stump, directly forming a bowl-sized scar.

8521!

A vital-point hit, double critical strike, plus the Spark Package and weapon buffs, this slash's damage was nearly Fang Yue's Xian value under normal circumstances.

It was only the Sheep Ghost's terrifying defense that made this slash's damage look less frightening.

An Shenyi and the others in the distance were utterly stunned.

They never imagined that Fang Yue, who had just nearly been beaten to death by the Sheep Ghost with no power to fight back, had suddenly risen!

Not only did he turn the tables and grind the Sheep Ghost's head back and forth, but a casual slash carried such terrifying power!

"He, how is he like a different person? I actually feel a little afraid."

"M-me too. Deputy Captain Ye hid it so well, his strength was actually this terrifying!"

"Aba aba! Aba!"

Fang Yue paid no attention to those three; his focus was entirely on the battle.

After chopping off the Sheep Ghost's head, Fang Yue didn't stop, reversed the blade edge, and like a returning spear, slashed directly at the Sheep Ghost's waist.

Bang!!

The blade edge struck the Sheep Ghost's waist, pausing for an instant.

Sizzle!!!

The next moment, accompanied by raging flames, the Leng Yue blade smoothly sliced straight through the Sheep Ghost's waist, cutting it clean in half horizontally, separating the upper and lower body!

But no number popped up; instead, a system prompt appeared.

It turned out the Sheep Ghost had already been dead as a doornail when its head hit the ground.

"System Prompt: Congratulations to player 【Yese Liming】 for killing the anomaly 【Sheep Ghost】. Reward: Control +10, Deflection +20, Lifespan +5 days."

Ah, this...

The stats given really are quite high, just given to the wrong ones!

Fang Yue was a bit depressed. Compared to Deflection, a defensive stat, he obviously still preferred Control, that violent offensive stat—fist hitting flesh feels satisfying, defense just doesn't hit the spot.

But... as long as it gives stats, who cares what it is.

Open stats.
