System Points Allocation! Can't Break Through My Defense At All!!

[Free Attribute Points: 10]

These Free Attribute Points were spoils of war dropped by Fan Wu after killing so many monsters.

Four of these attribute points were obtained from killing Xuan Shizi. The remaining six Free Attribute Points were dropped by the evil ghosts in the inn!

Fan Wu's current strength was completely different from when he first encountered monsters.

He discovered that the stronger his own strength became, the weaker the evil ghosts he killed...

The fewer Free Attribute Points they would drop.

In addition...

Several evil ghosts in the inn had their "killing blows" stolen by Xie Jiuyi.

Therefore, the attribute points dropped added up to six.

Which was already quite good.

And now.

Fan Wu directly added all six attribute points to the [Strength] attribute! This was precisely why his entire aura was undergoing such drastic changes!

The blood boiling within his body erupted like a volcano.

Fan Wu felt as if every muscle in his body was accumulating strength that had been deposited for a hundred years!

The bulging veins coiled like pythons beneath his skin trembled.

His heart pounded like a war drum!

With each beat of Fan Wu's heart, the strength accumulated in his muscles intensified.

His bones and tendons seemed to be shattering and splitting.

But they were healing rapidly.

The internal organs within his body also trembled slightly.

His five senses became sharper and clearer than before, so sharp that he could clearly hear... the pulse of Xie Jiuyi not far away!

He could also hear... the anxious heartbeats of the镖师 (bodyguards) outside the inn!

He could even smell the faint scent of decay emanating from the goods the bodyguards were protecting outside.

And he could see a blood vessel in one of the strange shadow's eyes, finer than a strand of hair.

At this moment.

Fan Wu's mind was as clear as a mirror!

Every cell in his body was transmitting a signal of immense pleasure.

Every cell was enjoying a unique delight, more intoxicating than the forbidden fruit of man and woman!

His muscles had not become larger.

But they had become much more solid!

Like steel that had been tempered a thousand times.

"The purity is too high!" Fan Wu tensed his muscles, feeling the strange changes coursing through his body, and a smile slowly spread across his lips, a smile that was more demonic than any evil ghost's.

He stared directly at the strange shadow ahead and said, "You are far inferior to me now!"

Although he didn't know if the strange shadow could understand human speech, it seemed to sense Fan Wu's change.

The eyes on the strange shadow's body all revealed solemn expressions.

It clearly realized that Fan Wu before it was very different!

Just then!

The strange shadow abruptly...

Attacked again!

Dozens of black tentacles spread out from its ten-foot-tall body, each tipped with a gaping maw filled with fangs!

Dozens of tentacles shot towards Fan Wu simultaneously with lightning speed.

Like dozens of arrows shot at the same time!

Facing the strange shadow's sudden attack again.

Fan Wu did not dodge or evade!

He stood firm and unmoving!

He didn't even draw his sword!

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The sounds of hard objects colliding, making one feel utterly incredulous, echoed endlessly. Dark tentacles continuously slammed into Fan Wu's upper body, attacking almost every inch of his skin.

But what made Xie Jiuyi inexplicably shocked was—the tentacles, which seemed capable of tearing apart solid boulders, could only make Fan Wu's muscles indent by less than an inch when they collided with him!

The sharp fangs on the tentacles tried to bite through Fan Wu's skin, but they were useless!

This... it couldn't even break his defense!!!

Xie Jiuyi was stunned!

The Fan Wu before him was like a thick, sturdy wall of bronze and iron, enduring the strange shadow's storm-like attacks without taking half a step back.

Suddenly!

Fan Wu moved!

With one hand, he precisely grabbed a shooting tentacle.

The tentacle seemed to sense something and tried to retract, only to find it couldn't move back even half an inch.

Two sharp spikes immediately extended from the sides of the tentacle, and without a word, they stabbed towards Fan Wu's eyes!

Fan Wu closed his eyes!

The two spikes were firmly clamped between his upper and lower eyelids. He merely tilted his head slightly, and the two sharp spikes snapped off!

He opened his eyes.

The spikes fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the Demon-Slaying Sword in his other hand swung out, and a tentacle of the strange shadow was immediately severed!

The Demon-Slaying Sword was still very effective, and there was no significant resistance when it cut the tentacle.

With one tentacle severed, the strange shadow's body seemed to tremble.

The blood vessels in its densely packed eyes became even more prominent!

As if transforming into blood-red pupils!

It was in pain!

And it was enraged!

The strange shadow emitted thousands of tiny black threads.

These thousands of tiny threads instantly burrowed into the inn's floor, beams, tables, and chairs...

At first glance, the entire inn seemed to be covered in black threads.

Like a giant spider web.

Suddenly!

The thousands of tiny black threads tightened instantly, and every corner of the inn began to emit creaking sounds of being unable to bear the strain.

Seeing this... Xie Jiuyi seemed to realize what was about to happen, and his expression changed drastically!

He immediately took out talismans of various sizes.

Then, he mobilized all the magical power in his body and gripped the talismans tightly with both hands.

While forming hand seals, he hurriedly shouted, "Fellow Daoist Fan! This fiend is using the entire inn as its weapon! I will use the most dangerous spell from the Hundred Killings Divine Path Technique to break open an exit. We'll leave through that exit!"

Xie Jiuyi chanted rapidly.

In less than half a breath, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

He stomped his right foot down hard, bit his tongue, and spat a mouthful of blood forward!

The blood stained the talismans in his hands!

Instantly—

The crumpled talismans in his hands, as if guided by an invisible hand, instantly flew onto the wall.

The obviously creased talismans stuck to the inn's walls.

They were then directly detonated!

BOOM!!!!

A large hole was blasted open in one of the inn's walls. Xie Jiuyi, exhausted, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, as a Battalion Officer of the Imperial Astronomy Bureau, Xie Jiuyi's physical techniques were not weak. After forcefully steadying himself, he immediately leaped towards the large hole.

At the same time, he didn't forget to remind Fan Wu again, "Fellow Daoist Fan, hurry and come with me!"

Xie Jiuyi successfully arrived outside.

He rolled to dissipate the force.

Then, he turned his head towards the group of nervous escorts outside the inn and shouted, "Quickly take that cargo! Get far away from the inn!!"

"Huh? Wait..." he realized, looking back towards the inn with an anxious expression, "Why didn't Fellow Daoist Fan come out?"

The next moment!

An even louder booming sound came!

The entire inn seemed to be squeezed by some strange power.

The front, back, left, and right walls of the inn, as well as the roof covered with tiles, and the ground built with bluestone...

All of it...

Collapsed inwards!!
