So Full of Stamina, Darling!

All 4 Attribute Points were instantly used up;

Congratulations, your Cultivation Technique Chuan Shattering Steps had advanced in grade; Mid-grade Glimmer Chuan Shattering Steps Beginner (1/1000 Proficiency!)

Congratulations, your Cultivation Technique Sky-Opening Slash had advanced in grade; Mid-grade Glimmer Sky-Opening Slash Mastery (1/1000 Proficiency!)

Zhang Qing made his choice.

He spent one point each to break through the Low-grade Glimmer limit.

Then he spent 2 more points to raise Sky-Opening Slash by one level.

After his Cultivation Techniques improved.

Zhang Qing instantly felt a more exquisite blade technique and more mysterious footwork.

And in the eyes of the three Specters.

Zhang Qing had not weakened in combat strength due to excessive stamina consumption.

Instead.

He seemed even more agile.

And his blade techniques became even sharper!

-55!

-53!

-54!

The Makeup-Face Ghoul howled as it was struck.

Obviously.

Zhang Qing had begun targeting it!

The Red Skin Ghoul realized something was wrong.

This human's stamina seemed endless.

So.

"Kill him with everything you've got! He's picking us off one by one!" it roared.

The Bone-Melting Ghoul let out a roar.

It recklessly tangled itself around him.

Zhang Qing knew.

The enemy was about to start playing dirty.

They would first have the Bone-Melting Ghoul entangle him, preferably rolling into a heap with him.

Then the Red-Face Ghoul and Makeup-Face Ghoul could attack freely.

Zhang Qing naturally refused to allow that.

He dodged repeatedly.

And crazily attacked the Bone-Melting Ghoul.

With this lump of flesh in the way.

He would fall into a disadvantage.

-32!

-31!

-29!

This guy was really tough.

And.

As the Bone-Melting Ghoul went mad.

Wounds began appearing on his body.

And his Blood Volume began dropping;

-12!

-7!

-32!

Damn it.

The Red-Face Ghoul had even grazed his chest once.

This guy had high attack power!

Now.

Makeup-Face Ghoul; 1824/3550!

Bone-Melting Ghoul; 2731/3560!

The Makeup-Face Ghoul was nearly half-dead.

The Bone-Melting Ghoul's Blood Volume was still healthy.

As for the Red-Face Ghoul, it had barely lost any Blood Volume.

And with the Bone-Melting Ghoul biting onto him, it was difficult for him to harm the Makeup-Face Ghoul.

It was really irritating.

Then he glanced at his own Blood Volume;

Zhang Qing; 3321/3562!

Not bad. That healing martial artist was unlike Yang Man—he had directly restored Zhang Qing's Blood Volume to full.

Now.

With over 3300 Blood Volume left, he had plenty of room for error.

The Bone-Melting Ghoul's attack power isn't high. I'll trade damage head-on and take out the Makeup-Face Ghoul!

Zhang Qing thought to himself.

As long as he took out the Makeup-Face Ghoul, he would gain another 4 Attribute Points.

Then, if he applied them to Chuan Shattering Steps, wouldn't dealing with the remaining two be like a fish in water?

Having settled on his strategy, Zhang Qing began.

Against the Bone-Melting Ghoul's attacks, he only barely dodged;

-13!

-9!

-15!

Heh, even with its exclusive enhancement, the Bone-Melting Ghoul's attack was nothing to speak of.

Zhang Qing only needed to watch out for the Red-Face Ghoul and Makeup-Face Ghoul.

This greatly reduced the pressure of dodging.

At the same time.

The cleaver in his hand slashed at the Makeup-Face Ghoul's major arteries with every strike;

-53!

-54!

-52!

-88!

Critical Hit!

One slash after another.

Without the slightest mercy.

The Red-Face Ghoul's expression darkened.

It had never seen such a difficult Candlelight Realm First Stage opponent.

The key was that his stamina was too strong.

If he were Ratfolk.

Dodging at such intensity would have exhausted his stamina long ago.

But what about him?

This guy was like one of the Horse Clan, with terrifying endurance and no sign of running out of strength.

"There's something strange about this guy!"

"Everyone pile on him and kill him!"

The Red-Face Ghoul shouted.

It had to be said.

This Red-Face Ghoul was the clearest-headed Specter Zhang Qing had ever encountered.

Most other Specters were practically just brutes.

But this one even knew strategy.

However.

It was already too late to say that now.

Ever since the Flower-Skin Ghoul died, the balance of battle had begun to tilt.

With four Specters surrounding him.

Zhang Qing had been somewhat overwhelmed.

But now, with three.

Tsk tsk...

"I'll slash, I'll slash, I'll slash!"

Zhang Qing unleashed a barrage of attacks on the Makeup-Face Ghoul.

He chopped it into something like a tattered burlap sack.

Its entire body was covered in wounds.

Blood flowed all over the ground.

At the same time.

Its health bar rapidly fell.

"Makeup-Face, fall back!"

The Red-Face Ghoul shouted.

"Yes!"

The Makeup-Face Ghoul began retreating.

The Red-Face Ghoul and Bone-Melting Ghoul held the front.

While it opened a hidden door.

It dragged out a Ratfolk corpse from inside and began eating it.

Then;

+30!

Huh?

Healing?

In your dreams!

Zhang Qing would rather take a hit from the Red-Face Ghoul.

Than let it happen.

With one Sky-Opening Slash.

He sent the Makeup-Face Ghoul flying!

Bang!

-163!

-7!

The Makeup-Face Ghoul suffered terribly from that blow.

Its entire body slammed into a pillar, and it could not get back up for a long time.

Specters also had physical structures.

The impact had been so violent that it had nearly lost its ability to move.

A good opportunity!

Zhang Qing used Chuan Shattering Steps and pressed forward directly.

This time.

He even left his back exposed.

Using Ox-Barbarian Strength to take the attacks head-on!

-53!

-56!

-51!

-5!

The Makeup-Face Ghoul died!

Makeup-Face Ghoul; 0/3550!

Congratulations, you killed the Makeup-Face Ghoul and gained Attribute Points +4!

It was finally dead!

Zhang Qing's health bar had also dropped by a chunk.

Those final few hits had hurt like hell.

Still.

He had over 2,000 left.

His margin for error was enormous!

The Red-Face Ghoul was dumbfounded.

That made no sense!

This guy's back was covered in wounds, blood pouring down in streams.

Yet.

It seemed to have no effect on him at all.

Was this a joke?

No human could take hits like this!

Could this guy be a Specter too?!

Zhang Qing turned around.

With one slash, he forced back the Red-Face Ghoul, then kicked the Bone-Melting Ghoul away.

Now.

It was one against two!

Allocate points!

Zhang Qing directly allocated the 4 Attribute Points he had gained.

Congratulations, your Cultivation Technique Chuan Shattering Steps has advanced; Chuan Shattering Steps Mid-grade Glimmer Mastery (Proficiency: 1/1000)!

The more he fought, the more Zhang Qing realized how useful movement techniques were. That was why he chose to upgrade Chuan Shattering Steps this time.

A flood of new insights appeared in his mind.

But Zhang Qing's Intelligence could support it now.

So.

He instantly made them his own.

"You enjoyed chasing me around, didn't you?!"

"Now, I'll show you what cruelty really means!"

An improvement in a Cultivation Technique was often more effective than an improvement in physique!

Charging forward with Chuan Shattering Steps, Zhang Qing evaded the Bone-Melting Ghoul's entanglement and the Red-Face Ghoul's attacks.

Then he slashed them both in return.

-30!

-43!

Heh heh.

This Red-Face Ghoul had even weaker defense than the Bone-Melting Ghoul!

The Red-Face Ghoul.

Stared at the wound on its body in shock.

This guy's movement speed had increased again.

And with his nearly limitless stamina.

His movements had become even faster.

"Damn it!" the Red-Face Ghoul roared.

"I refuse to believe your stamina is endless!"

"Once I kill you, I'll wear your skin and go make a name for myself among the Razors!"

Keep dreaming!

Zhang Qing charged straight into battle with them.

Either dodging or trading blows.

He remained calm as hell!

Meanwhile, the health bars above the Red-Face Ghoul and Bone-Melting Ghoul kept dropping.

Kill them?

It was only a matter of time!
