Night Patrol!

Soon.

With Yazi's help.

Zhang Qing used a piece of gold to buy a residential compound in Wuyu Alley, near Razor.

It was roughly over two hundred square meters.

A few rooms and a small courtyard.

Then he bought some necessities.

This place was close to Razor.

There would be fewer Specters around.

What, the most dangerous place was the safest place?

Bullshit.

If Specters were really hiding here, that would just be suicide.

Because.

Most Razor members lived in this area.

Once everything was settled.

Zhang Qing locked the door.

He logged off to eat and take care of other things.

Then logged back in.

"After being busy all day, I didn't get anything done."

"Tonight, I can finally go all out!"

Zhang Qing thought.

He looked at his stockpile of Attribute Points.

Without hesitation, he dumped them into his rank!

18 Attribute Points became 9!

Congratulations, you have met the requirements to break through. Would you like to break through?

"Break through!"

Breakthrough successful. You have advanced to the fourth tier of the Glimmering Realm!

Reward obtained: Constitution +1!

He opened the panel.

Zhang Qing!

Martial Path: Fourth Tier of the Glimmering Realm!

Blood Volume: 1240/1295!

Constitution: 41!

Intelligence: 1!

Cultivation Techniques: Kaiyuan Art (Low-grade Glimmer, Great Perfection!) Sky-Opening Slash (Low-grade Glimmer, Great Perfection!) Chuan Shattering Steps (Low-grade Glimmer, Great Perfection!) Ox-Barbarian Strength (Low-grade Glimmer, Great Perfection!)

Attribute Points: 9!

All he could say was, beautiful.

Getting out of bed, Zhang Qing could feel the power within his body.

Fourth tier of the Glimmering Realm.

In terms of rank, he had already reached Guan Yutian's level.

Tsk, tsk.

That guy had spent years climbing to this level.

Players.

Once they had resources, they really advanced fast!

As for combat power.

It was no exaggeration to say.

He could stomp Guan Yutian.

He could even do it with one hand behind his back.

If his Blood Volume was included.

Then...

He should be able to fight Specters with under 2,000 Blood Volume!

Walking out of the courtyard.

Zhang Qing appeared in the alley.

At night, Zi City was under curfew.

Ordinary people were forbidden from entering or leaving.

And Razor members patrolled the streets.

As for Zhang Qing.

He was now qualified to patrol Zi City as well.

He was the captain of a Ghoul Blood Hall squad.

Though he was the only member, his authority was the same.

Walking down the streets.

Zhang Qing looked at this different side of Zi City.

During the day, Zi City was prosperous.

But behind that prosperity, there were countless refugees in every alley and street corner.

After sneaking in, they could only beg for food.

Though there was also some dirty work they could do.

They could barely survive.

But when night came.

They would huddle in places far from the central district.

And they stayed in groups.

First, to keep Specters from treating them like an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Second, to keep Razor from killing them for amusement.

That was the life of refugees.

As Zhang Qing wandered around, he discovered several refugee hideouts.

He glanced at their health bars.

They all only had a dozen or so points of Blood Volume. He could not be bothered to kill them.

He would need to find better blood packs later.

The diminishing-return rule had not been triggered yet, but Zhang Qing worried that there was a limit to how much Blood Volume he could seize, with diminishing returns after that limit.

Those blood packs with only a dozen or so points of Blood Volume would be a huge loss.

He had not cared before, but now that things were on track, he had to start taking it into consideration.

Suddenly.

The sound of bones being crushed came from the darkness.

Zhang Qing immediately perked up.

That was the sound of a Specter feeding!

And mixed in with it were low, miserable screams and groans.

Zhang Qing hurried over.

It was a small courtyard.

He climbed over the wall, entered, and pushed open the door.

Zhang Teng: 2950/2950!

Zhang Hui: 2870/2870!

Zhang Zhong: 2840/2840!

Li Qi: 3/24!

Gana: 1/19!

For a moment.

Three Chickenfolk with mouths full of blood turned to look at Zhang Qing.

And on the ground were mangled corpses.

Those three had not transformed at all, choosing to hide their identities while consuming blood food.

That way, they could keep using their Human Skin.

Seeing them stare at him.

"Sorry to interrupt!" Zhang Qing said.

Bang!

Then he shut the door.

Three Specters with nearly 3,000 Blood Volume each.

He might not be able to handle them!

Then he took off running.

Boom!!

Three figures smashed through the door and chased after him.

They still had not transformed.

Those with high Blood Volume really were a little smarter.

As long as they acted fast enough.

After taking care of Zhang Qing, it would merely be an extra late-night snack.

Once they transformed.

If they got worked up in battle and let out a roar, they would be finished.

However.

Just because they would not shout did not mean Zhang Qing would not!

"Help!"

"Specters!"

His loud voice rang through the night.

Very soon, rustling sounds came from all around.

Razor members were rushing over.

It was a squad.

Tie Du: 675/675! (Ratfolk)

Tie Ku: 555/555! (Ratfolk)

Dala: 263/263! (Oxenfolk)

Teya: 275/275! (Oxenfolk)

Bai Ta: 245/245! (Oxenfolk)

Ratfolk with the surname Tie?

Members of the Tie Family?

And their ranks were not bad either, sixth tier and fifth tier of the Glimmering Realm.

Paired with three Oxenfolk.

Oxenfolk had good defense and strong endurance.

It was obviously a Glimmering Realm elite squad configuration.

Far stronger than Guan Yutian's useless squad.

Zhang Qing immediately took out his token.

"I'm the captain of Ghoul Blood Hall. The three behind me are Specters. I caught them eating people!"

Tie Du saw the token in Zhang Qing's hand.

Then he looked at the three people behind him with mouths full of blood, and immediately nodded.

The next second.

That squad charged straight at the three.

Seeing that this would not work, the three had to transform.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Blood mist spread through the air.

The three figures rapidly grew taller.

Blade-Tooth Ghoul: 2950/2950!

Vine Ghoul: 2870/2870!

Red-Tail Ghoul: 2840/2840!

They had only just finished transforming.

Tie Du's squad paused slightly.

Three of them, and their auras were pretty strong.

Damn.

This idiot really knew how to cause trouble.

But there was no helping it. They had already charged in.

"Dala, Teya, hold them off. Tie Ku and I will work with Bai Ta to kill one first!"

"Then we'll come help you!"

Tie Du said.

The others nodded.

Then he turned to Zhang Qing.

"Captain, please join me. It'll go faster that way!"

"No problem!"

Zhang Qing readily agreed.

There were six massive blood bags here, as well as nine Attribute Points.

Zhang Qing was not about to run!

"Kill!"

The elite Glimmer Squad made its move.

Zhang Qing, Tie Du, Tie Ku, and Bai Ta faced the Blade-Tooth Ghoul.

It was practically a one-sided slaughter.

The two Tie brothers used swords.

They thrust, stabbed, and skewered!

Their blades struck in a frenzied barrage!

Bai Ta wielded a broad saber, its blade wide enough to serve as a shield.

He acted as the defender.

Zhang Qing used a saber.

He hacked down strike after strike.

His movements flowed like water, exceptionally smooth, and nearly every slash dealt damage to the Blade-Tooth Ghoul.

-23!

-21!

-8!

-48!

Bai Ta dealt the lowest damage.

Zhang Qing dealt the highest.

The perfected Sky-Opening Slash was far more exquisite than the attack martial arts the others used.

The two Tie brothers could not help nodding.

As expected of a Ghoul Blood Hall captain. With saber skills like that, they could not compare even if they chased after him on horseback.
