"I'm a living corpse. Your Inner Strength can't hurt me!"
Enchantress looked slightly smug as she slashed with her blade. Wang Jie dodged, drew a longsword from his waist, and began fighting her.
The Eyebrowless Ghoul charged in like a black shadow. Wang Jie split him apart with a single slash, sending him flying, but he did not die. He re-formed, though he was injured.
The longer they fought, the more Wang Jie realized how powerful these ghouls were. For the moment, he could do nothing against them.

Another punch smashed into the Bald Man's head, blowing it apart. But one punch clearly was not enough to kill these Great Ghouls.
Something was wrong!
Wang Jie's gaze sharpened. By rights, his strength should have been enough to kill an eighth-level ghoul with one punch, yet it had not died.
