Zhang Qing had guessed.
The Tie Family might have joined forces with Specters to kill the Chuan Family patriarch.
He had not 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 was actually brazenly joining the Tie Family patriarch and Yu Family patriarch in besieging the Chuan Family patriarch.
Just how much did this old man inspire hatred?
Still.
The Chuan Family patriarch was truly tough.
Especially when his maximum Blood Volume broke through 6,000.
He was ferocious beyond belief.
One against three, beating them senseless.
But once his maximum Blood Volume dropped back down, it became the three of them beating him senseless.
Back and forth.
Their Blood Volumes began to plummet.
But no matter how much they fell.
The Chuan Family patriarch's Blood Volume fell faster.
After all, he was fighting one against three.
"Does the Chuan Family still have any trump cards?" Zhang Qing asked.
"It's meaningless," Yang Man said.
"Even if the Chuan Family has trump cards left, the other two families have them too!"
"His ending is already decided!"
All right.
Zhang Qing's mind began spinning wildly.
"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 a direction—the Chuan Family's direction.
A large number of Specters were attacking there.
"You mean that after the Chuan Family patriarch dies, the Yu and Tie Families 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 is that the Chuan Family raised Specters. If they raised Specters, they had to capture Specters!"
Yang Man continued.
"They captured a special Specter, one special enough for that Great Ghoul to 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 and Tie Families took one look. Raising Specters? A taboo!
On top of that, the Chuan Family had plotted for the Blood Transformation Pill and wanted to lay hands on Zi City.
Thus.
They joined forces with the Specters and launched an all-out war against the Chuan Family at this critical juncture.
Of course, Yang Man had played an extraordinary role in all this.
She was like a chess player!
A single Blood Transformation Pill had stirred the entire situation.
Zhang Qing's thoughts cleared.
Now that he understood the entire chain of logic, he should seek some benefits for himself.
First was the security of his identity.
For now, he had Yang Man at his back.
The chances of Yang Man being purged were very small.
As one of the chess players in this game, her importance could not possibly amount to merely one Blood Transformation Pill.
Therefore, wearing Ghoul Blood Hall attire and a mask.
He would basically not be caught up in the purge.
Then...
There was the point of entry into the battle.
Once the Chuan Family patriarch died, Razor would move out to sweep through the place.
That was common sense. Zhang Qing did not believe the Yu Family would sit around and wait for the Tie Family to devour the Chuan Family's inheritance.
Razor was clearly a fine means for the Yu Family to seize that inheritance.
That way, he could slip in with them.
The point of entry...
The Chuan Family was best.
The Chuan Family raised Specters, and the existence of the Ghoul Blood Flower showed that the Specters they kept definitely would not be at full Blood Volume.
They might even have only a sliver of Blood Volume left.
That meant Attribute Points.
Besides, even if he could not finish them off himself.
He could still get a share in the battle!
The natives had no concept of Attribute Points.
Just by getting a share, he could earn Attribute Points until he got rich!
Lastly, there were the 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.
He had only a sliver of Blood Volume left.
Then...
That sliver vanished in an instant.
Dead!
A patriarch of a generation had died just like that.
Yet the battle atop the high 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 wave after wave of shrieks from it.
But.
The curtain had already fallen!
Zhang Qing instantly leaped down 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, charging toward the Chuan Family.
The Chuan Family was not without reserves.
At the very least.
The Chuan Family's First-grade Hall fought to the death.
When countless Specters crashed into 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.
Large numbers of wounded Specters, large numbers of wounded Chuan Family members.
Everywhere he looked, that was all there was!
Zhang Qing grew excited.
He was currently Candlelight Level.
Though it was somewhat shaky, he was still Candlelight Level.
His movement speed and everything else were not weak.
After seeing the health bars clearly.
He immediately locked onto a Specter.
Kuta Ghoul; 123/2964!
You!
You only had a sliver of Blood Volume left and still dared to wander around?
Sky-Opening Slash!
Zhang Qing used Chuan Shattering Steps, his speed like an afterimage.
He charged straight over and fiercely slashed at the Kuta Ghoul!
-123!
Dead!
Congratulations on killing Kuta Ghoul. Attribute Point +3!
Three Attribute Points from one slash.
Awesome!
Zhang Qing steadied himself.
He began using his bow to shoot at every Specter he could see nearby.
He made sure to get a share from nearly every one of them.
-34!
-24!
-42!
-33!
Getting a share—madly getting a share.
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 slashed across.
Zhang Qing bent backward in an iron bridge to dodge it.
He turned to look.
Chuan Ming; 342/1342!
Hmm?
A blood pack had delivered itself to his door?
"You Razor scum, die!"
Chuan Ming had over a thousand health and was at the third tier of the Candleflame Realm.
Though injured, his strength was still astonishing.
Zhang Qing was a pseudo-Candleflame.
If they really 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.
Pfft!
Chuan Ming's longsword pierced through Zhang Qing's abdomen.
-322! Zhang Qing; 1848/2170!
But Zhang Qing's longsword 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 longsword.
-2!
Chuan Ming died!
Congratulations on killing Chuan Ming; gained Health; 1342! Current Health; 3190/3512!
He had gotten the full haul this round!
