Don't Act Rashly!

Don't Act Rashly!

Filthy! Chaotic! Depraved!

The scenes before him shattered Wang Ye's understanding.

Some Devilmen were devouring monster flesh raw.

Some Devilmen were violating the corpses of refugees whose mutations had failed.

Others watched the refugees mutating after absorbing Red Creek Water as if they were monkeys being played with, laughing wildly to their hearts' content.

They could no longer be considered human.

Nothing remained but endless desire.

Wang Ye wrapped one arm around Yu Shuiqin, burying her little head against his chest. Feeling her Delicate Body tremble lightly, he whispered into her ear, "Don't act rashly."

His gaze swept the surroundings.

At the rear left of the forest clearing stood a pitch-black cave, guarded by Devilmen outside.

In the grass to the right front, two familiar figures were tied up.

It was Huang Zirui and Song Shuyi, both covered in wounds!

Wang Ye had never seen Huang Zirui like this before.

He had always carried himself like a refined young noble. It was rare to even see him injured, much less in such a miserable state.

As for Song Shuyi...

Judging by how intact her clothes were, she was fine.

As for injuries, they were commonplace to her.

"Don't look. Don't act rashly," Wang Ye told Yu Shuiqin again. "Wait for Team Leader Tong."

Yu Shuiqin nodded softly. With her little head pressed against him, he could clearly feel her desperately suppressing her emotions.

Wang Ye observed carefully.

There were twenty-five Devilmen in the forest clearing.

Judging from the vitality strength he sensed, the greatest threats were two intermediate Devilmen.

Equivalent to Intermediate Evolvers.

Fourth Order Blood Devils.

One was covered in snake scales from head to toe, with long pointed ears.

The other was a bald, burly figure nearly three meters tall, his head covered in sharp flesh thorns.

Compared to ordinary Devilmen, they were clearly a size larger, just like Nightmare-level Monsters, and their aura and oppressive presence were much stronger.

Among the remaining twenty-three ordinary Devilmen, the real threats were four Third Order Blood Devils.

The other nineteen Devilmen were just trash, no different from the two he had killed in the wilderness before.

From the looks of things, he and Yu Shuiqin could fight them.

But there was risk.

What made him most wary was the pitch-black cave, where his consciousness could not penetrate very far.

From what he had seen these past few minutes, it did not seem to be where the Devilmen lived.

Bang!

A refugee's body exploded.

"Fuck, another one who couldn't hold out. What a waste." The Serpent Scale Blood Devil looked displeased. "These bastards are too useless."

He kicked the refugee whose chest had burst open, splattering blood and gore across the ground.

The ugly Devilman who had just violated a refugee's corpse had his eyes light up. He burst into wild laughter and pounced over without even pulling up his pants.

Wang Ye frowned deeply and gritted his teeth.

They were worse than beasts!

He checked his watch. Team Leader Tong should be arriving soon.

Don't act rashly!

"Fuck, I'm bored to death. When are those bastards leaving? I can't even go down the mountain." The Serpent Scale Blood Devil stood up and twisted his neck with crackling sounds. His bones seemed soft, making for a terrifying sight.

"Stop sneaking down the mountain. If the boss finds out, you'll suffer for it." The Flesh Thorn Blood Devil's blood-red eyes were cold as he warned him.

The Serpent Scale Blood Devil spat. "So what if he finds out? They don't even bring us along for the trades. It's obvious they don't see us as one of their own. Only an idiot like you would stay so loyal."

"We're Devilmen. The world is vast, yet there is no place left for us." The Flesh Thorn Blood Devil's voice carried a trace of bleakness.

"So what? Pleasure comes first. While we're still alive, we should have as much fun as we can!" The Serpent Scale Blood Devil twisted his neck back into place. Desire seeped from his blood-red eyes as he walked toward Song Shuyi. "Enough talking. I'm going to have some fun!"

"No. The boss likes female Evolvers. Save her." The Flesh Thorn Blood Devil spoke coldly.

"I know, I know! You've fucking said it a dozen times already!" The Serpent Scale Blood Devil looked annoyed. "I caught them, but I can't have fun with them? What kind of logic is that? If I can't touch this chick, then that tender-skinned boy should be fine, right?"

"Leave me half his blood," said the Flesh Thorn Blood Devil.

"I know, I know."

The Serpent Scale Blood Devil waved a hand and walked forward.

He let out a sharp, cackling laugh.

Wang Ye's heartbeat quickened.

He checked his watch, then glanced behind him.

Not here yet!

Given Team Leader Tong's speed, he was probably around the mountainside now. It would take at least a few more minutes to sneak here safely!

By then, they would both be dead!

Watching the Serpent Scale Blood Devil swagger toward Huang Zirui and Song Shuyi, then kick Song Shuyi away and reach a snake-scaled arm toward Huang Zirui's waist and crotch...

Hold it in, hold it in, hold it in!

Hold my fucking ass!

Wang Ye cursed inwardly and shot out from behind the tree like an arrow loosed from a bow.

He couldn't hold it in!

Whoosh!

In his Soul Sea, his esper ability was swiftly mobilized.

Perfect Enhancement Technique!

Whoosh!

The Crimson Sun Battle Blade II System shone with divine brilliance, illuminating the night sky.

The Serpent Scale Blood Devil reacted swiftly. Surprise flashed in his blood-red eyes, immediately followed by delight. Then an esper arrow shot straight at his lower abdomen.

Whoosh!

The Serpent Scale Blood Devil reacted incredibly quickly.

His body twisted in an eerie way, dodging the esper arrow at an almost impossible angle.

Swoosh!

Wang Ye's blade arrived.

Rising Sun condensed into a fierce blade light, fully displaying his perfect-level blade technique.

The Serpent Scale Blood Devil raised his snake-scaled arm to block.

A vicious glint appeared in his eyes. He had tremendous confidence in his body's defenses.

Not only were his mutated snake scales as resilient as those of a Nightmare-level Monster, but they could also disperse force. An attack like this...

Clang!

The strike was heavy and sharp.

A violent pain struck.

"Ugh—" The Serpent Scale Blood Devil let out a howl of pain.

The snake scales split apart, and his arm snapped with a crack.

No matter how flexible it was, it could not withstand such a terrifying blow.

Again!

Body Enhancement, 60%!

Perfect-level Control Technique!

Wang Ye wielded his esper ability Like a Fish in Water, clearly controlling every bit of energy expenditure.

Against this Serpent Scale Blood Devil, who did not excel at offense, 60% was enough.

Radiant Hues of Myriad Paths!

His attacks were as swift as the wind, instantly heavily injuring the Serpent Scale Blood Devil.

Behind him, esper arrows flew out one after another, accurately striking every Devilman intending to attack Wang Ye.

But the strongest of them all, the burly Flesh Thorn Blood Devil, was only held back for an instant before his heavy hammer shattered the esper arrow with a boom, charging forward with unstoppable force.

That was enough!

Taking advantage of the opening, Wang Ye cut off the Serpent Scale Blood Devil's head.

Ahead, a gun-wielding Devilman sprang up. Clutched in his dark, sticky, blood-black palm was Huang Zirui's Silver White Spear.

Wang Ye immediately followed with the Limit Breaking Skill, Square Circle. He turned the square into a circle, redirecting force while switching positions, and blasted him toward the burly Flesh Thorn Blood Devil.

Boom!!

A strike that shook the earth.

The gun-wielding Devilman's brains exploded as the Flesh Thorn Blood Devil smashed him with a single hammer blow.

The Silver White Spear landed precisely beside Huang Zirui, returning to its rightful owner.

Such terrifying power!

Wang Ye's expression turned grim.

He had already heard from their conversation that the Flesh Thorn Blood Devil was stronger than the Serpent Scale Blood Devil.

The one before him was a Blood Devil who specialized in strength, far more terrifying than a Nightmare-level Monster of the same rank.

Wang Ye moved swiftly around the battlefield.

Using the Limit Breaking Skill Square Circle, he fought while retreating, redirecting every Devilman attacking him toward the Flesh Thorn Blood Devil.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Flesh Thorn Blood Devil showed no mercy. Everything his heavy hammer struck was smashed into pulp.

In the eyes of Devilmen, there were no companions.

Slaughter and blood were their only truth.

"The last one." Wang Ye raised his blade and brought it down, killing the final Third Order Blood Devil.

The remaining First and Second Order Blood Devils posed little threat to him.

Only this Fourth Order Flesh Thorn Blood Devil remained!

At this point, Wang Ye had mostly settled down.

When he attacked the Serpent Scale Blood Devil, he had been prepared to flee at any moment.

After all, with his interruption, Huang Zirui's innocence had definitely been preserved.

He and Yu Shuiqin only needed to retreat toward the mountainside. The violent battle fluctuations would point Team Leader Tong in the right direction.

But the Serpent Scale Blood Devil had been somewhat weak.

Perhaps it was because he carried no weapon and only had a soft whip.

And the cave he had been most wary of had not produced a single Devilman.

Instead, the Devilmen guarding it were on high alert, not daring to leave even one step.

There were no enemies inside.

Perhaps something was hidden there instead.

Wang Ye made his guess internally, but his movements did not slow in the slightest.

The enhanced Crimson Sun Battle Blade II System flashed with cold light as it struck at the Flesh Thorn Blood Devil.

The latter's eyes overflowed with bloodlust. He neither dodged nor evaded, bringing down his heavy hammer in a clearly mutual-destruction style of attack!

A madman...

A faint esper aura spread around him.

Wang Ye knew Yu Shuiqin was protecting him, ready to form an esper shield at any moment to block the heavy hammer.

But it could not stop it!

A Fourth Order Blood Devil specializing in strength possessed terrifying power in a single hammer strike.

Wang Ye swiftly changed tactics, shifting sideways and slashing at the thick arm holding the hammer, which was even thicker than his waist.

Body Enhancement, 80%!

Within his Soul Sea, his esper ability was mobilized even further.

Even after reaching the second rank, the amount of energy consumed was still far from enough.

Because his body was much stronger now than before!

Burst!

The strike sent blood spraying, but did not sever the arm.

A hint of surprise appeared in the burly Flesh Thorn Blood Devil's eyes, yet his attack did not pause in the slightest. The heavy hammer swung back toward him.

An invisible Esper Net wrapped around it, blocking it for an instant.

Wang Ye was incredibly fast and dodged it in a flash.

Attack!

Radiant Hues of Myriad Paths!

Wang Ye unleashed his attack speed to the limit.

Speed and agility were the Flesh Thorn Blood Devil's weaknesses.

Yu Shuiqin's restraint allowed him to move Like a Fish in Water.

Attack after attack slowly wore down his defenses.

The Flesh Thorn Blood Devil spurted blood from all over its body, suffering wound after wound.

The attacks were too fast, too dense, and the weapon's power was too great.

Even with defenses and strength comparable to a mid-tier Nightmare-level Monster, it was having trouble holding on.

"Aah!" In a furious rage, the Flesh Thorn Blood Devil's muscles tensed terrifyingly as its heavy hammer tore through the irritating Esper Net once more.

Pfft!

Behind him, Yu Shuiqin's face had gone pale.

Her esper ability was nearly depleted.

But it was enough.

Because she saw that no one could stop the unstoppable Wang Ye anymore.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Her heart raced, and Yu Shuiqin's beautiful eyes sparkled.

He was too strong!

Low-key and modest, he always gave her unexpected surprises.

Not only had he awakened an esper ability, but his Enhancement Technique had reached an extremely high level, perfectly combined with his Gene Warrior abilities!

His combat power was fully comparable to that of an Intermediate Evolver!

Wang Ye had gone on a killing spree.

The fierce blade light inflicted grave wounds on the Flesh Thorn Blood Devil, slowing its movements and greatly weakening the power of its heavy hammer.

Like a light in the darkness, the Crimson Sun Battle Blade illuminated Dragon King Mountain.

Slash!

Wang Ye viciously chopped off the Flesh Thorn Blood Devil's wrist, blood spraying wildly.

The agonizing pain left the Flesh Thorn Blood Devil dazed, drastically reducing its combat power.

Its heavy hammer smashed toward Wang Ye.

It struck empty air.

A figure appeared before its eyes, the blade in his hand dazzlingly bright.

The Flesh Thorn Blood Devil's face twisted savagely, and its entire body trembled violently.

Body, 100% enhanced!

Wang Ye erupted with all his strength, pushing his esper ability to its limit.

Dawn's First Light!

Blade force blazed like fire, its power burning to its peak!

Die!

Scenes of the refugees' misery flashed before Wang Ye's eyes as his attack erupted in full.

Like furious thunder crashing down, it struck the battered Flesh Thorn Blood Devil with savage force, slicing its massive, powerful body in two.

Bang!

The Flesh Thorn Blood Devil's bloodshot eyes flew wide open as it fell into a pool of blood.
