Chapter 37

Fang Yue immediately glared at them all and roared loudly.

Surrounded by the six-man patrol team, he didn't retreat—he advanced, stomping forward sharply.

Boom!!

His foot hit the ground, shattering the floor, shards of stone flying everywhere.

With 34 points of Supernatural Strength, his stomp crushed the floor, leaving a small circular crater—its power astonishing.

The patrol team members froze, eyes wide, staring at Fang Yue in disbelief.

Their gazes were as if they were looking at a monster.

"What kind of Supernatural Strength is this?!"

"Xin Jue is right—the 【Detecting Ghost Talisman】 is flawed; they've definitely been Possessed!"

"This power? I wouldn't believe it's not Possession!"

"Don't be afraid—we're many, attack together!"

Words were spoken, but no one dared take a single step forward.

The terrifying stomp they'd just witnessed was still fresh in their minds; none dared risk their lives testing Fang Yue's limits.

Not just them—even Xin Jue, upon seeing Fang Yue's terrifying stomp, turned pale as paper, his face dark as water, watching Fang Yue with deep wariness.

As the patrol team's leader, he was stronger than his men—but facing Fang Yue's power, comparable to a Deputy Captain's, even he had no confidence.

But while the patrol team stood frozen, Fang Yue did not stop.

"So you won't move now? Where's your courage from just now?!"

He snorted coldly and took another step forward, closing in on the patrol team!

Step!

His foot landed with a heavy crash—the ground sank instantly, leaving a deep footprint.

This step struck not just the floor, but every heart in Xin Jue's team.

They stared at Fang Yue in terror, and as he advanced, they all stepped back two paces in unison.

"B, Black Grade Possession!"

"His eyes are clear—he might be a mid-level Black Grade Possession!"

"Could Captain Chen have died at his hands? Was everything he said before a lie?"

"Impossible! Captain Chen is definitely alive—this is just Possession bluffing!"

Xin Jue's team was in complete disarray, their voices trembling.

No one had expected Fang Yue, alone, would scare a six-man team into inaction.

But just as Fang Yue bent low, preparing to charge and beat Xin Jue into revealing the antidote, a hand suddenly gripped him tightly from behind.

"Ye Ge, don't rush!!"

Fang Yue turned—and saw it was Niu Niu holding him.

Fang Yue:???

The battle's about to break out—why are you stopping me?

I acted to save you, my boss.

For sixty thousand yuan—charge!

Fang Yue shook his arm to keep going, but Niu Niu panicked, lunging forward and clutching Fang Yue's arm with both hands.

"Ye Ge, no!!"

Niu Niu's voice nearly broke into sobs.

There are six of them over there—don't go get yourself killed! I'm counting on you to save me!

This… human baffling behavior?

"Don't you want to live?"

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, Niu Niu was terrified, his soul nearly flying out of his body.

"What?! Ye Ge, we're on the same team! You're gonna kill me too?!"

"What are you talking about?"

Fang Yue was torn between laughter and exasperation.

"I meant—don't you want to live?"

"Ah? Don't kill me! I'm your Niu Niu!"

"... My bad. I meant your poison was administered by Xin Jue—he must have an antidote. I'll kill him, get the antidote, save your life. Boss, got it?"

"Oh… oh oh oh! Oh oh oh oh oh!!"

Only then did Niu Niu finally understand, nodding frantically like a chicken pecking rice.

"Got it! Got it!"

So it's just a decapitation strike—kill one and retreat, not a direct clash? Then it's fine!

With Ye Ge's strength, he should manage it.

"If you get it, why won't you let go? Men and men must maintain propriety! Show some respect!"

"Ah, oh oh oh…"

Niu Niu immediately released him, brushing dust off Fang Yue's clothes, acting like a groveling lackey.

"Ye Ge, go! Ye Ge, awesome! Ye Ge, number one in the world! Ye Ge, charge!!"

Damn!

If you weren't my boss, I'd kill you right now.

Fang Yue scowled and ignored Niu Niu, turning his gaze to Xin Jue and the others.

At this moment, they had already taken their positions, forming a subtle formation.

Fang Yue sneered coldly: "Last chance. Xin Jue, hand over the antidote to the Lock Heart Pill. I'll let your mistake slide, as if nothing happened. Otherwise… my fist, big as a sandbag, won't let you survive!"

Seeing Fang Yue's tiny fist, Xin Jue's face darkened.

He simply couldn't figure out how he'd been exposed.

The initial effects of the Lock Heart Pill and the Poison Heart Pill were identical—both rapidly restored blood.

The difference lay in only two points.

First, after consuming the Poison Heart Pill, the sinister essence inside would devour the heart.

If the heart was eaten, how could a person possibly live?

Thus, the Poison Heart Pill required large quantities of auxiliary medicines to function.

Moreover, the Poison Heart Pill was never a healing drug—it was… a poison pill! A toxic pill designed to harm others for one's own gain.

Anyone else who took it would die without fail.

But Niu Niu's unusual condition had stirred Xin Jue's interest.

And now, it proved his idea was correct.

So now, the Poison Heart Pill enters its second stage.

That is, the second difference between the Poison Heart Pill and the Lock Heart Pill.

After its initial one-time blood restoration, the Lock Heart Pill causes temporary physical weakness, but recovery is possible with proper rest.

The Poison Heart Pill, however, transforms a person from 【human】 into 【Medicinal Human】!

Medicinal Human—literally, a person treated as medicinal material!

Using humans as medicine holds great utility!

Deceitful and vile, reviled by all!

This method is unspeakable, forbidden to everyone as a taboo.

But Xin Jue walked the razor's edge—his realm had not advanced in too long; his potential in this life was exhausted.

Fortunately, he had once received guidance from a master and learned the Medicinal Human technique, leading to this moment.

Originally, Xin Jue had felt slightly relieved, seeing the surrounding team members' confused expressions, unaware of what the Poison Heart Pill was.

But then he saw his second-in-command, A Ning—the grotesque-looking bastard—gradually frowning, as if he understood something about the Poison Heart Pill.

Bad! He couldn't let that bastard claim moral high ground!

Instantly, Xin Jue shouted sharply.

"Stop! You vile fiend, what are you talking about with Poison Heart Pills? I have no idea what you mean! Trying to sow distrust between me and my brothers? Such tricks are laughable!"

"Brothers! A fiend stands before us—don't hesitate! For the village, for your families, follow me… KILL!!"

After saying that, Xin Jue actually charged forward himself, rushing toward Fang Yue.

This action instantly eased the frown on A Ning's brow, who had been doubtful; he raised his spear high and roared: "You fools! What are you standing there for? Follow Brother Xin Jue! KILL!!"

The other team members finally reacted, gritting their teeth, suppressing their fear, and raised their spears to follow.

"Kill!"

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!!"

Shouts of slaughter echoed through the streets, their momentum soaring like a rainbow!

Yet, facing this killing formation, Fang Yue only revealed a feral grin.

"Heaven has a path, yet you refuse to walk it; Hell has no door, yet you charge right in! Fine! Today, I'll open the gates of slaughter! All of you—DIE!!"

He kicked off the ground and shot forward like a cannonball toward the six men!
