The Weirdness, watching the raging wind surge towards it, felt a sense of despair. It tried to dodge with its speed again, but ultimately, it couldn't outrun the wind before it.
The Weirdness was once again blown to the ground by the gale, letting out cries that grew more and more shrill. Blood flowed ceaselessly from its body until, finally, its throat seemed to grow hoarse, its roars diminishing.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi immediately recalled the gale.
After the gale receded, the Weirdness remained on the ground for a long time, not getting up. The recovery speed of its wounds was also significantly slower than before, its complexion so pale that even the onlookers noticed something was amiss.
"So its complexion turns white when it recovers from wounds!"
The leading martial artist exclaimed in surprise to his subordinate. He wanted to tell Zhou Yi about this discovery, but then he thought about Zhou Yi's previous actions. Perhaps the master already knew. Still, to be safe, he decided to inform Zhou Yi.
Within Zhou Yi's perception, the Weirdness's chilling aura had diminished by nearly half. By all rights, it shouldn't be this fragile.
"Master, its wound recovery consumes vitality!"
The leading martial artist reminded Zhou Yi.
"I already knew that." Zhou Yi still turned his head and thanked the leading martial artist.
Just then, the wounds on the Weirdness, which was still lying on the ground, instantly healed. Its eyes turned blood-red, and it slammed a palm on the ground, rising to pounce on Zhou Yi.
The leading martial artist beside them was looking behind Zhou Yi, his pupils instantly dilating. He opened his mouth and shouted loudly at Zhou Yi, "Master! Be careful!"
As soon as the leading martial artist finished speaking, he saw Zhou Yi's height begin to surge. Muscles bulged across his body, and his black clothes were on the verge of tearing. Veins appeared on Zhou Yi's neck.
Clang~
The Weirdness's claws struck Zhou Yi's back, making a sound like metal hitting stone, even emitting sparks.
"What kind of monster is this?" the thought appeared in the Weirdness's mind.
At this moment, Zhou Yi suddenly turned around, grabbed the Weirdness by the neck, lifted it, and taunted, "I knew what you were going to do. You're so stupid, why be a Weirdness! Be a pig in your next life!"
Zhou Yi paused, scratched his head with his free hand, and then said to the Weirdness, "No, if you fall into my hands, you won't even be able to be a pig!"
The Weirdness struggled in Zhou Yi's grasp, its claws raking at Zhou Yi's body. Its claws, which could normally cleave metal and shatter stone, felt like mere tickles against Zhou Yi's body.
Upon hearing Zhou Yi's words, the Weirdness became even more enraged. It opened its mouth to roar at Zhou Yi, but before it could utter a sound, Zhou Yi's palm tightened instantly, pulling the roar back into its throat.
Zhou Yi's expression grew colder, and his grip tightened. Just as the Weirdness seemed on the verge of suffocation, Zhou Yi loosened his grip slightly and said in a chilling tone, "I will make you suffer ten, a hundred, a thousand times more than the people you devoured!"
Hearing Zhou Yi's cold words, a look of fear appeared on the Weirdness's face.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi chuckled, "So you Weirdnesses know fear too! Then why do you still eat people?"
The Weirdness tried to speak through its throat, but Zhou Yi's grip on its neck was too tight, denying it any opportunity.
"I saw you in a book!"
Zhou Yi continued, reciting a passage.
"Ghost Abusers, they take pleasure in watching others suffer. When the victim's spirit is numb, they gradually devour them, seeking final amusement from the victim. After devouring them, they seek out the next person..."
"See? Am I right?"
Zhou Yi shook the Ghost Abuser in his hand. Without giving it a chance to speak, he tightened his grip again, as if intending to crush it. The Ghost Abuser's eyes bulged, and its tongue lolled out.
"Don't worry, you won't die that quickly!"
With that, Zhou Yi loosened his grip. The Ghost Abuser once again gasped for air, breathing deeply.
Zhou Yi sensed the chilling aura emanating from the Ghost Abuser. Compared to when they first met, only a third remained, but for Zhou Yi, it was enough.
Zhou Yi pressed the Ghost Abuser to the ground, retrieved the New Moon, and plunged it into the Ghost Abuser's spine. The Ghost Abuser thrashed wildly on the ground, but it was utterly unable to break free from Zhou Yi's grasp.
"This is just the beginning!"
Zhou Yi said calmly to the Weirdness beneath his feet.
The onlookers were terrified by such brutal methods, breaking out in a cold sweat. But then they remembered that this Ghost Abuser showed no mercy to humans and employed even more cruel tactics. Thinking of this, they felt that Zhou Yi's actions weren't harsh enough. Soon, Zhou Yi made them reconsider.
The blade of the New Moon trembled slightly, gathering small gusts of wind. This time, Zhou Yi did not unleash the Seven Great Limits: Wind with full force, fearing he might kill the Weirdness instantly.
When the sound of the wind stopped, the blade trembled again. This time, the sound of wind came from the Ghost Abuser's belly. The Ghost Abuser wanted to roar to alleviate its pain, but its neck was still held tightly by Zhou Yi.
Black blood began to seep from the Ghost Abuser's eyes, its eyeballs seeming to bulge out of their sockets. Its entire body trembled uncontrollably.
When Zhou Yi sensed that the Ghost Abuser's chilling aura was almost gone, he stopped. He kept the Ghost Abuser alive, flipped it over with his foot, and saw that its eyes were filled with numbness.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi pulled out the blade. Before the Ghost Abuser could cry out, he decapitated it with a single stroke.
"Yin Energy +2000"
Black blood stained the blade, obscuring its original luster. The blood dripped from the tip of the sword onto the ground, drop by drop, shattering the silence of the night.
After gazing at the corpse for a moment, Zhou Yi came back to his senses. He tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and wiped the blade clean until its silver gleam was revealed before sheathing it.
Zhou Yi then turned to face the crowd. He saw a little girl, her mouth slightly agape, her eyes fixed on the wooden house behind Zhou Yi. Tears streamed down her face as she walked step by step towards the collapsed wooden house.
Her vision blurred from constant crying, the little beggar dug at the ruined wooden house with her hands. Soon, her hands were covered in blood from the sharp splinters. The people around her watched in silence. After a while, a young patrol member silently walked to the little girl's side and began to help her dig.
Then came a second patrol member, a third, a fourth
