Chapter 662: Thieves' Ranking Battle (4/10, Autumn Subscription)

The unloading value was getting closer and closer to full, which gave Fang Yue comfort.

However, the 【Ghost Domain】 was indeed rising slowly; he wondered if there was some shortcut he didn't know about.

"Name: Yese Liming."

"Ghost Domain: Blood-tier advanced 【9.2%】."

"Status: Ghost Curse 【Black Rain】, ——."

"Lifespan: 11 years, 5 months."

Confirming his attributes, Fang Yue looked toward the firelight drawing closer from afar.

The loss-of-control matter could only be studied slowly after returning; now was not the time.

Find the Rat Constellation, learn the Phoenix Organization's base, rescue An Dong'er—that was what he should be doing now.

Suddenly, the firelight approaching from afar became erratic, as if receiving some interference.

Just as he was wondering, a Nuo Mian Mian suddenly burrowed out from his chest.

Its expression blank, a tiny hand suddenly aimed at his face, the arm abruptly stretching out and shooting forward.

His face changed, black blade flashed—Fang Yue severed this Nuo Mian Mian's blue tendril, and like shaving, scraped the remaining root clean too; Fang Yue's expression was ugly.

Ghostly creature? Of all times, it had to pop out now.

Glancing at the system prompt, thankfully it wasn't some ghost curse—just deliberately emerging from the mist-shrouded black robe.

He didn't know what level of ghostly creature had come; he hadn't sensed it at all.

Just as Fang Yue was thinking, an explosive shout suddenly rang out from the mountain path.

"Night! Ox! Ox!"

Good lord, he hadn't even announced himself—how did everyone on Dongliu Mountain know it was him?

Fang Yue narrowed his eyes, guessing the Rat Constellation likely had some long-range method of contacting the Phoenix Organization, exchanging intel in real time.

Only that could explain such a swift reaction and calling in people to deal with him.

The strength Fang Yue had revealed to the outside world was estimated at around human-tier beginner, so the people daring to come cause him trouble wouldn't be too far off in strength assessment.

The people hadn't arrived yet, but their voices had.

The first thing to fly over was a flying dagger.

The flying dagger pierced the air, stabbing toward his brow at high speed.

Clang!!

He raised his blade to parry—bang—the flying dagger shattered directly, turning into a sky-filling mist that enveloped Fang Yue.

His heart skipped a beat, and Fang Yue violently retreated to escape the mist's range.

Just as he burst out of the mist's range, a greatblade came chopping toward Fang Yue's head.

"Got him!"

The one who struck looked excited, expression thrilled.

But he was happy too soon.

Shadow Step!

Speed suddenly surged, dodging the attack, Fang Yue reversed his hand and clamped onto the man's neck, slamming him onto the ground with a thud.

In his shock, the greatblade man's head slammed heavily into the ground.

After a moment's hesitation, Fang Yue didn't slash toward the man's head, but chopped at his right arm instead.

Clang!!

Before the blade could fall, a longsword had already intercepted his attack at the lower body. At the same time, on the other side, besides the longsword's owner, a new black shadow also kicked over.

"Want to kill Lao Qi? You'll have to get past me, Zei Lao Liu, first."

In the longsword owner's lazy voice.

Fang Yue dispersed his black blade, tilted his head back to dodge the black shadow's lethal kick, but saw that kick, like a split, miss Fang Yue's skull and then suddenly smash straight downward.

His expression shifted slightly, Fang Yue continued tilting his head back, hands bracing the ground as his body leaned back, tumbling several somersaults to put distance between them.

"Chance!"

Two blade gleams, as if abruptly appearing from the darkness, crossed past Fang Yue's body left and right in an instant.

Squelch—

Blood sprayed from both of Fang Yue's left arms; losing strength to support himself, he fell directly, tumbling and crashing into a nearby house wall.

With a thud, the house collapsed, kicking up dust.

When the dust settled, Fang Yue was seen pinned into the ground by a foot, a long spike pressed against his chest.

That person had long hair draped to the side, turning their profile to look at the five people who had just made their moves and were now walking over.

This person, nicknamed Long-Haired Lao Ba, was shockingly the eighth on the Thieves' Ranking's top!

And the people walking over were respectively Greatblade Lao Qi, Longsword Lao Liu, Iron Foot Lao Jiu, and the strongest attackers among them, the 【Twin-Blade】 twins Lao Si and Lao Wu.

As for those truly occupying the top three of the ranking, they stood atop distant houses, looking down at everyone, still not having made a move.

"Isn't Lord Rat Constellation making too big a fuss over this? For this guy, I'm afraid one person acting would already be enough."

Long-Haired Lao Ba, the spike pressing slightly into Fang Yue's chest, blood welling up, revealed a savage grin.

"You want to hog the quota?" Iron Foot Lao Jiu rolled his shoulders, body swaying, extremely agile.

"Hack off his hands and feet—Lord Rat Constellation only said capture alive, no other limits." Zei Lao Liu and Zei Lao Qi had also arrived by now, looking coldly at Fang Yue pinned to the ground.

"Be careful—we two ambushed him at the same time just now, and it seemed like he sensed it…… something's off, look quickly, he's smiling!"

The strongest, the twins 【Twin-Blade】 Zei Lao Si and Zei Lao Wu who had just arrived, suddenly changed expression.

They faintly sensed something was wrong, their figures violently retreating at the same time.

But…… it was already too late!

"Hey!"

A greeting rang out abruptly from behind them. The two turned their heads to look, and their pupils instantly contracted.

They saw Fang Yue, who had just been pinned to the ground, had somehow appeared behind them. Those eyes, as if under some strange Possession, had taken on a pitch-black color, with black fresh blood seeping out, and the corners of his mouth still bore a savage grin.

"Li—"

Hum!!

A streak of black light, like a line, sliced open the chests of the two of them.

Sizzle—

Fresh blood spurted out as if in slow motion. Amid the two men's stunned expressions, their bodies were sent flying by a violent force.

The blast of air exploded, their figures hurtled backward, and pain spread from their chests throughout their entire bodies.

And while they were sent flying, Fang Yue, like a black shadow, darted back and forth among the other bandit leaders.

Every time he brushed past a bandit leader, that leader would inevitably spurt a tall spray of fresh blood and collapse heavily wounded.

In just a short while, only the long-sword-wielding Lao Liu was left, who managed to block two strikes with a clang-clang, and then was beheaded with a single slash, the first to truly fall dead.

Only at this moment did the twin saber-wielders, the two mid-grade Human-Rank fighters, feel as if the flow of time had returned to normal—everything had suddenly accelerated, and then…

Boom!!

With a thunderous crash, their bodies slammed into the mountain wall, kicking up a skyful of dust.

At this moment, Lao Si and Lao Wu's bodies were both trembling and shaking.

That guy—was he really only early-grade Human-Rank?!

That frenzied style of attack, that mad killing intent, that gaze, and that bizarre, inexplicable slow flow of time…

A chill rose up from the hearts of the two men.

By the time they burst out of the dust-shrouded area, they saw Fang Yue had already been tightly surrounded by the three strongest on the bandit leaderboard, arrayed in a triangular formation. The clang-clang-clang of combat rang on without end, and the stray bursts of air sent any of the lesser Night Thief underlings who tried to approach flying backward, leaving them no room to intervene!

Hiss—

Lao Si and Lao Wu drew in a sharp cold breath.

Only now did they truly realize just how terrifying Ye Niuniu's strength was!
