Chuan Family Patriarch! Dead!

Zhang Qing had guessed.

The Tie Family might have joined forces with Specters to set a trap and kill the Chuan Family Patriarch.

He hadn't expected it.

It was true!

Insect Spirit Ghoul!

56,000 Blood Volume.

The Pagoda Tree Ghoul would have to kneel the moment it saw it!

Such a Great Ghoul had actually joined the Tie Family Patriarch and Yu Family Patriarch in openly besieging the Chuan Family Patriarch.

Just how hated was that old man?

Still.

The Chuan Family Patriarch really could take a beating.

Especially when his maximum Blood Volume broke through 6,000.

He was ridiculously fierce.

One against three, beating them senseless.

But once his maximum Blood Volume fell, it became his turn to be pinned down and beaten by the three of them.

Back and forth.

Their Blood Volumes began to plummet.

Yet no matter how much they dropped.

The Chuan Family Patriarch's Blood Volume fell even faster.

After all, it was one against three.

"Does the Chuan Family have any trump cards left?" Zhang Qing asked.

"It doesn't matter," Yang Man said.

"Even if the Chuan Family still has trump cards, the other two families will have them too!"

"His outcome is already decided!"

Fine.

Zhang Qing's mind began racing.

"Once the Chuan Family Patriarch dies, the Chuan Family will be purged, right?"

"Mm, not just the Chuan Family. The Specters too!"

Yang Man said.

"Look over there."

She pointed in the direction of the Chuan Family.

A large number of Specters were attacking there.

"You mean that after the Chuan Family Patriarch dies, the Yu Family and Tie Family will turn around and deal with the Specters?"

Zhang Qing's eyes lit up.

"What else?" Yang Man said.

"You don't actually think Specters can truly cooperate, do you?"

"Hm?"

"The reason the Specters got involved was because the Chuan Family raised Specters. If they raised Specters, they must have captured Specters!"

Yang Man continued.

"They captured a special Specter, one special enough that this Great Ghoul would cooperate with those two families."

"The purpose was to rescue that Specter!"

"That was why the Specters were attacking the Chuan Family!"

So that was it.

Then...

The entire chain of logic made sense.

The Chuan Family had captured a special Specter, and then the Specters exposed the Chuan Family.

The Yu Family and Tie Family saw it—raising Specters? A taboo!

On top of that, the Chuan Family had plotted to obtain the Blood Transformation Pill and wanted to lay their hands on Zi City.

Thus.

They joined forces with the Specters and launched an all-out war against the Chuan Family at this critical moment.

Of course.

Yang Man had played an extraordinary role in all this.

She was like a chess player!

One Blood Transformation Pill had stirred up the entire situation.

Zhang Qing's mind cleared.

Now that he understood the entire chain of logic, it was time to seek some benefits for himself.

First was the safety of his identity.

For now, he had Yang Man at his back.

The chance of Yang Man being purged was very small.

As one of the chess players in this game, her importance could not possibly be limited to a single Blood Transformation Pill.

Therefore, wearing Ghoul Blood Hall attire and a mask.

He basically wouldn't be caught up in the purge.

Then...

There was the point where he could enter the battle.

Once the Chuan Family Patriarch died, Razor would move out and sweep through the place.

That was only natural. Zhang Qing didn't believe the Yu Family would sit by and wait for the Tie Family to devour the Chuan Family's inheritance.

Razor was clearly the Yu Family's best means of seizing that inheritance.

That way, he could slip in among them.

The best point of entry...

Would be the Chuan Family.

The Chuan Family raised Specters, and the Ghoul Blood Flower indicated that the Specters they kept definitely wouldn't be at full Blood Volume.

They might even be left with only a sliver of health.

Those were Attribute Points.

Besides, even if he couldn't finish them off himself.

He could still get in on the action during the battle!

The natives had no concept of Attribute Points.

Just by getting in on the action, he could earn Attribute Points until he got rich!

Lastly, there were blood packs.

In a melee, blood packs were the easiest things to obtain.

Therefore.

It was worth making a move!

Zhang Qing began to wait.

Wait for the Chuan Family Patriarch to die.

In fact, many people were waiting.

Once the Chuan Family Patriarch died.

The entire Chuan Family would be carved up!

Time passed bit by bit.

Zhang Qing kept his eyes on the Chuan Family Patriarch's health bar.

Very soon.

Only a sliver remained.

Then...

That sliver vanished in an instant.

Dead!

A patriarch of one generation had died just like that.

Yet the battle atop the platform did not end with the Chuan Family Patriarch's death.

The Yu Family Patriarch and Tie Family Patriarch immediately turned and attacked the Insect Spirit Ghoul.

Drawing waves of shrieks from it.

But.

This was already the curtain call!

Zhang Qing instantly leaped from the tall building. After landing, he sprinted madly toward the Chuan Family!

In an instant.

The entire street moved.

Countless people appeared.

They were all Razor's people, rushing toward the Chuan Family.

The Chuan Family was not without reserves.

At the very least.

The Chuan Family's First-grade Hall fought back desperately.

When countless Specter creatures attacked the Chuan Family, the Chuan Family held them off.

But once Razor's people entered the fray.

The Chuan Family could no longer hold on!

Zhang Qing swept his gaze around.

Chuan Li; 342/1342!

Chuan Ming; 1432/2432!

Chuan Te; 1644/2514!

Iron Blade Ghoul; 1453/4720!

Tang Feng Ghoul; 3521/4233!

Tree Ghoul; 532/3127!

Kuta Ghoul; 123/2964!

This...

Was simply heaven!

Yes.

A huge number of injured Specters, a huge number of injured Chuan Family members.

Everywhere he looked, they were all there!

Zhang Qing grew excited.

He was currently Candlelight Level.

Though it was a bit shaky, he was still Candlelight Level.

His movement speed and everything else were not weak.

After seeing their health bars clearly.

He immediately locked onto one Specter.

Kuta Ghoul; 123/2964!

You!

You only had a sliver of health left and still dared to wander around?

Sky-Opening Slash!

Zhang Qing used Chuan Shattering Steps, moving like an afterimage.

He charged straight over and viciously slashed at the Kuta Ghoul!

-123!

Dead!

Congratulations on killing Kuta Ghoul. Attribute Point +3!

One slash, and he directly gained 3 Attribute Points.

Awesome!

Zhang Qing steadied himself.

He began using his bow to shoot at every Specter he could see nearby.

He made sure to get in on nearly every one of them.

-34!

-24!

-42!

-33!

Getting in on them, getting in on them like crazy.

Secure the guaranteed reward first, then go for the big prize!

He put away his bow and began locking onto his next target.

Tree Ghoul; 532/3127!

You're next!

Zhang Qing charged over.

Suddenly.

A blade swept across.

Zhang Qing bent backward in an iron bridge to evade it.

He turned to look.

Chuan Ming; 342/1342!

Hmm?

A blood pack had delivered itself right to his door?

"Razor's trash, die!"

With over a thousand health, Chuan Ming was at the third Candlelight tier.

Though injured, he was still incredibly strong.

Zhang Qing was a pseudo-Candlelight.

If they truly fought, he might not lose, but it would waste a great deal of time.

What Zhang Qing needed most right now was time.

So.

Zhang Qing charged straight at him.

Splat!

Chuan Ming's long blade pierced through Zhang Qing's abdomen.

-322!

Zhang Qing; 1848/2170!

But Zhang Qing's long blade directly shattered Chuan Ming's heart.

-340!

Chuan Ming; 2/1342!

"Sorry, but it seems I can take a hit better than you!"

Zhang Qing pulled out his long blade.

-2!

Chuan Ming died!

Congratulations, you have killed Chuan Ming; gained health; 1342!

Current health; 3190/3512!

He got the full haul from this round!
