Chapter 768: The Black Shadow Is Not a Black Shadow (7/10, please subscribe)

If there is anything in the world that understands Transcendence-level Weird especially well, it should only be others of the same kind — fellow Transcendence-level Weird!

So, Gu Yue Cun... no! Rather, the Transcendence-level Weird within Heiqing Shanmai, the living legend itself — should know something about the 【System】?

Fang Yue wasn't entirely sure, just felt that if he really wanted to find someone to ask about this matter, Heiqing Gui was clearly a possible person in the know.

But for such a thing, at the very least he'd need to have the strength to face a Transcendence-level Weird before he'd have the capital to investigate a bit.

The current him simply didn't have that kind of strength; thinking more about it was useless.

Suppressing his thoughts, Fang Yue opened the attribute list.

"Name: Yese Liming."

"Realm: Mid Human-level."

"Weird Realm: Mid Calamity-level 【0%】."

"Spirit Root: Weird Spirit Root."

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

"HP: 20000/20000."

"Inner Force: 25000/25000."

"Weird Value: 25000/25000."

"Control Force: 26020 【Base: 26000】 【Status/Boost: +20】."

"Discharge Force: 26020 【Base: 26000】 【Status/Boost: +20】."

"Comprehension: 75. 【Special Attribute】"

"Talent: Night Breath 【Upper Human-level】."

"Weird Talent: Still World, Weird Ring."

"Rain-level: Frozen Heart Method 【First Layer】."

"Human-level Martial Art: Analysis Pupil 【Lower Human-level】."

"Innate Martial Art: Innate Qi Shield 【Initial Human-level】, Aura 【Initial Human-level】, Shadow-Treading Steps 【Xiantian Third-Rate】, Dark Moon Blade Technique 【Xiantian Third-Rate】, Night Flow Mental Method 【Xiantian Third-Rate】, Coiling Tree Heart Method 【Xiantian Third-Rate】."

"Acquired Martial Art:......"

"Lifespan: 175 years 5 months."

The rest was still within the range of comprehension, but the soaring Comprehension and the exaggerated Lifespan directly shocked Fang Yue.

A hundred years! It takes a hundred years to grow a person... ah no, a hundred-year-old-monster-level powerhouse, arriving uninvited!

Over a hundred years of Lifespan — Fang Yue's mouth was practically drooling, and the soaring Comprehension was simply invincible!

At this moment, Fang Yue formally wished to announce one thing — Daddy is a genius! A one-in-ten-thousand absolute genius!!

"Ye Ge?!"

Fang Yue was just feeling excited and thrilled when, from afar, the simultaneous startled shouts of Qingchen and Jing Yan suddenly rang out.

Only then did Fang Yue notice that, he knew not since when, four massive black-shadow Weirds had come charging at him from front, back, left, and right all at once.

"Perfect timing!"

At the thought, the black ring continuously cycling behind him shot out four black silks toward the four directions with a series of whooshing sounds.

Four consecutive booming explosions rang out — the black silks had already pierced through the four great black shadows, running straight through the middle of their bodies and punching out hollows; the black shadows instantly collapsed like scattered skeletons, falling to the ground.

Fang Yue smiled slightly, about to deliver a "that's all?" — but suddenly, as if realizing something, he hurriedly looked at the attribute list.

"Weird Value: 25000/25000."

Weird Value... hadn't changed!

He had clearly employed the power of 【Weird Ring】, yet no Weird Value had been consumed.

He looked at the Weird Ring's description.

【Weird Ring: Weird Qi mutates, leaves the body surface, condenses on the back, cycles endlessly, forming its own loop. Only after being broken and re-condensed will Weird Qi be consumed.】

So that was how it was!

Fang Yue's face showed delight — the Weird Ring was not only more powerful, but easier to control, and even the major drawback of huge Weird Value consumption had vanished.

This round of mutation-strengthening was truly powerful.

But without 【Weird Membrane】, wasn't he back to relying entirely on his own Discharge Force value to tank damage?

Just as Fang Yue was thinking this, suddenly as if moved by some impulse, the black ring cycling on its own behind him slowly flew onto Fang Yue's body, wrapping him like black silk, forming 【Weird Garment】!

"Follows my thoughts, changes at will!"

Fang Yue's heart was thrilled — he could feel that the defensive capability of 【Weird Garment】 far surpassed that of 【Weird Membrane】.

Probably only by truly shattering 【Weird Garment】 could his main body be harmed.

Moreover, 【Weird Ring】 had no Weird Value consumption, meaning he could normally transform it into 【Weird Garment】 and wear it close to his body, providing all-around protection 24 hours a day!

This freaking thing is visibly turning into a tank!

But this look of black blood streaming from both eyes really isn't fit to be seen by people... as expected, he still needed a Weird artifact like the Mist Black Robe to cooperate.

For now, though, there was no such concern — many people in Chunuan City had personally witnessed how he had killed Ox-Mansion and the others.

"Ye Ge! Wait! They're not Weirds!"

Fang Yue was carefully feeling the changes in his body, practicing the use of his power, when Jing Yan suddenly shouted loudly.

Following the sound, he saw Jing Yan and Qingchen standing not far away, studying something on the ground.

Fang Yue thought carefully — it seemed that among the four massive black-shadow Weirds earlier, one had died at that very spot.

After killing them, Fang Yue hadn't looked closely, but now a quick glance at the system notifications confirmed — there was indeed no kill notification.

What was going on?

His figure moved, and Fang Yue quickly arrived at the two's side.

The two only felt a gust of black wind sweep past, and Fang Yue was suddenly right beside them.

Stunned for a moment, the two exchanged a glance, their faces breaking into bitter smiles — the two of them were already the diligent, hardworking type, and among the players still in the game, they were solidly mid-tier.

But compared to Fang Yue, there was simply no comparison at all; the gap was visible to the naked eye, utterly beyond dispute.

And Fang Yue, at this moment, had already gotten a clear look at the corpse on the ground.

"Tree branches??"

That's right, the 'corpse' on the ground was nothing but fragments of tree branches.

Doesn't that mean…

Fang Yue raised his head and looked into the distance.

Under the yin-yang moonlight of 【Heaven Devour】, the rising and falling black shadows surged against the citizens of Chunuan City like a tide, their numbers beyond counting.

"They're all branches! We have to find the main body to deal with this anomaly! Where is Tian Ruichi now? You said this anomaly was drawn by him? What exactly happened?"

As he spoke, the 【Ghost Garment】 on Fang Yue's body whooshed out, transforming into dozens of black silk ribbons that shot forth.

Black silk ribbons filled the sky, spreading out like a peacock fanning its tail, blotting out the sun as they attacked the shadowy branches all around.

The moment the black shadows were touched by the black silk ribbons, every single one shattered and fell to the ground in sections of tree branches.

With just that one move, Fang Yue cleared out an open patch of ground — an efficiency simply unmatched.

Most importantly, no stamina cost — use it as many times as you want!

The people around still fighting the shadowy anomaly saw the black silk ribbons instantly kill their opponents and all froze, only now collectively noticing that Fang Yue had awakened.

"Lord Ye! Lord Ye is awake!"

"That's wonderful! Lord Ye is finally awake, we're saved!"

"Chunuan City still has hope, everyone hold on!!"

Although Fang Yue wasn't holding a torch, the Fluorescent Bead at his waist glowed automatically, illuminating his face clearly enough to make people freeze for a moment.

The crowd all pressed toward Fang Yue's side.

The people who had already lost hope now had their eyes suddenly filled with the light of hope — as if with Fang Yue there, no problem was a problem.
