Chapter 182: Normal Kill (9/10, Autumn Subscription)

Fang Yue's face darkened as he spun his body mid-glide.

Under the setting sun, the blade flashed, spinning into a whirlwind.

Approaching Sheep Phantom #3, Fang Yue thrust straight at its raised right foot.

Water Sky Blade Technique!!

The blade was faster than the foot!

An inch longer means an inch stronger!

Spiraling like a drill, whirling madly, carving flesh like scattering sand, boring through its defense like a drill bit, flinging up a rain of blood and meat, and in an instant piercing straight through Sheep Phantom #3's right foot.

"Baa!!"

355!

Sheep Phantom #3 screamed out, while Fang Yue had already braced one hand on the ground and stopped his spin.

Steadying himself, he powered from his waist and slashed hard across.

The Leng Yue blade, already buried in Sheep Phantom #3, immediately went creak creak as it shattered the bone from within, and with a clang, hacked it out of the body.

Sheep Phantom #3 tilted and crashed to the ground, clutching its right leg and shrieking.

I can fight, I can fight!

Even though it's daytime now, my stats have already met the mark!

Fang Yue's heart thrilled with excitement, but he saw the other two—Sheep Phantom #1 and Sheep Phantom #2—already forming an encirclement as they rushed toward him.

But Fang Yue's choice was…

Cut Sheep Phantom #3 down first!

Water Sky Blade Technique!!

Strike while it's down. Fang Yue went wild hacking at Sheep Phantom #3's already half-severed right leg.

The pain made it bleat loudly, hooves flailing wildly, but it just couldn't hit Fang Yue.

"Can't touch this, can't touch this, that's all you've got?"

In his excitement, Fang Yue still remembered to taunt.

377!

265!

388!

151!

25!

Dammit!

The last two strikes—one missed, one didn't land on the vital wound.

And right then, the other two Sheep Phantoms had arrived. One swung a hoof at him, forcing Fang Yue to retreat.

Sheep Phantom #2 followed up, kicking a hoof straight at him. Fang Yue leaped with all his might, and when Sheep Phantom #2's kick landed, his feet stomped right down on Sheep Phantom #2's foot and pressed hard.

Thud!!

The ground trembled slightly. Fang Yue stomped hard on Sheep Phantom #2's foot and went into a frenzy of hacking with his blade.

So fast it tore afterimages, the clang clang clang clang of strikes like a blacksmith at work.

Yet the damage was… touching.

36!

25!

29!

38!

31!

Unable to break through the Sheep Phantom's outer skin, the damage couldn't truly land—it was just scraping.

Fang Yue had already noticed this. The wildly hacking Leng Yue blade began to concentrate on a single point, chopping madly at that one spot.

But Sheep Phantom #2 had already reacted.

"Baa!"

Both its hooves struck straight at Fang Yue. He dodged left and weaved right, but still took a hoof to the shoulder. With a thunderous bang, his whole body flew backward, gliding across the ground, skidding over ten meters before stopping.

25!

Still that familiar Supernatural Strength—scraping against scraping, as always.

The pity was, a phantom's HP and a human's HP were not on the same level.

With the same scraping, a human would definitely be the first to die.

That's why Fang Yue needed to avoid being hit as much as possible.

"I'll help you guys!"

The two-meter-tall bruiser from Chaoyue Village roared as he charged over, wildly swinging a big wooden club with no blade in the clearing.

"It's useless, you can't even see them, you basically…"

Before Fang Yue could finish, he saw the man get clobbered on the head by a Sheep Phantom's hoof, his head driving straight down into the ground, his body twitching twice before going still.

Fang Yue: …

Sigh, what is this guy doing!

The Guard Team members from Chaoyue Village had originally wanted to charge in and support too.

Seeing the Captain end up like that nearly made their eyeballs pop out of their sockets.

In their eyes, Fang Yue and the others looked like they were doing street dance—bouncing and leaping. Apart from the occasional thump thump thump, bang bang bang, the impact-heavy sounds, the rest of the time all they could see was them dodging and twisting.

Without seeing the Sheep Phantom Wraiths, they had no idea how to help these people fight.

"You protect my team and retreat into the village!"

"Uh, okay, okay!"

The Chaoyue Village team members, who had been hesitating, heard this and immediately responded, leading the escort team into the village.

At this moment, Fang Yue observed the battlefield.

Three Sheep Phantom Wraiths were attacking him, three were attacking Mountain Captain, one was attacking An Shenyi, and two were attacking Blood Hunter.

In truth, the most dangerous was Blood Hunter.

His strength had not even reached the Post-Heaven Martialist realm; facing attacks from two Sheep Phantom Wraiths, he was barely surviving. He had narrowly escaped death multiple times, saved only by the Giant-Head Blood Dog, which carried him around to flee.

We must end this quickly!

Fang Yue's heart sank.

Although everyone else still seemed to be holding on, defeat was inevitable—they were all barely managing to endure.

One… if I kill just one Sheep Phantom Wraith, I can turn the tide!

Fang Yue's gaze gradually sharpened.

His breathing slowed as he carefully observed the situation ahead.

Sheep Phantom Wraith #1 and #2 charged at him from both sides in a frantic encirclement.

Fang Yue bent his legs and surged forward in a wild dash.

So fast was his speed that both Sheep Phantom Wraiths froze for a moment—almost in a flash, he nearly slipped past them.

The two Sheep Phantom Wraiths snapped back to awareness and immediately changed direction, charging straight toward Fang Yue.

Here they come.

Fang Yue pushed off again, leaned forward, and with a half-gliding posture, twisted the Cold Moon Blade with all his strength.

Hu hu hu!

The Cold Moon Blade spun at high speed as Fang Yue slammed it with his right hand.

The spiraling Cold Moon Blade shot straight toward Sheep Phantom Wraith #3, the one with the broken leg.

At that moment, Sheep Phantom Wraith #1 had already arrived.

In mid-movement, its goat hoof kicked out—Fang Yue seized it with both hands, kicked it away, then planted his hands on the ground and performed a series of backward somersaults to absorb the momentum.

At this moment, Sheep Phantom Wraith #2 had also arrived.

"Baa!!"

A goat hoof kicked directly at Fang Yue's waist.

If that kick landed, his waist would break.

During his next backward somersault, Fang Yue pushed hard against the ground with both hands, springing high into the air and narrowly avoiding the hoof.

Amidst Sheep Phantom Wraith #2's stunned expression, Fang Yue, soaring high, suddenly extended his right hand and spread his fingers.

"Blade, come!"

Ding!!!

Fang Yue's shout and the sound of metal blocking rang out almost simultaneously.

The Cold Moon Blade, which had been flung earlier, had been deflected upward by Sheep Phantom Wraith #1—and now landed precisely along the trajectory of his rebound.

As the Cold Moon Blade whistled past him, Fang Yue's open right hand seized the flying blade.

Amidst Sheep Phantom Wraith #1's stunned expression, Fang Yue descended like a war god cleaving Mount Hua!

"Water Sky Blade Technique!!"

Die!!

The Cold Moon Blade slammed down, striking directly atop Sheep Phantom Wraith #1's skull.

Ding!!

A momentary violent jolt in his palms—but with Fang Yue firmly gripping the hilt, the blade instantly sliced downward.

The sharp Cold Moon Blade cleaved through the Sheep Phantom Wraith's head like slicing a watermelon!

This slash split the skull from crown to neck, stopping only at the base of the neck.

459!

890!

2872!

4821!

5821!
