This World Has Gone Mad!

Shui Meng had no idea what had happened.

All she knew was that a black shadow had come crashing straight at her.

Pfft!

-8

Shui Meng; 0/1950!

Congratulations, you have killed Shui Meng. Maximum Health +1950!

Current Maximum Health; 3631/5950!

Woohoo.

I'm taking off!

Zhang Qing was absolutely ecstatic.

He had taken care of Shui Meng, that weak point.

And he had even gobbled up that health pack.

He was almost at 6,000 HP now.

That was fucking awesome!

But...

He couldn't laugh out loud right now.

So...

It was time to wrap things up.

"Bastard!!"

With an angry roar, Zhang Qing charged straight at the Blood Fox Ghoul.

And he used a reckless, life-for-life trading style.

The Blood Fox Ghoul was instantly dumbfounded.

What was going on?

It didn't understand, but that was fine.

The Shui Family members understood!

Several people appeared beside Shui Meng. They stared blankly at her corpse for a moment.

Then...

They turned toward the Blood Fox Ghoul, the hatred in their eyes practically overflowing.

"Die!"

Several Shui Family members immediately rushed forward.

Together with Zhang Qing, they surrounded and slaughtered the Blood Fox Ghoul.

One minute!

It did not even last a full minute.

The Blood Fox Ghoul died on the spot!

Its health bar of over ten thousand vanished before their combined assault as though it had been erased!

Zhang Qing had even gone all out at the end.

Unfortunately, he had failed to land the final blow.

Congratulations, you participated in killing the Blood Fox Ghoul. Attribute Points +6!

Still, he had dealt a fair amount of damage, so he received half the Attribute Points.

After dealing with the Blood Fox Ghoul...

Zhang Qing did not turn back to look at Shui Meng.

Instead, he put on a devastated expression and charged back into the battlefield.

Throughout the process...

Zhang Qing did not look at anyone's health bar.

These people were very likely in the Starflash Realm, with exceptionally sharp senses.

"Hey, that person..."

"Forget it. Shui Meng probably once helped him. Death is commonplace when fighting ghouls."

"Ah..."

Several people sighed.

Then they left.

Zhang Qing had been acting all along.

He had to stay in character. He could not let everything fall apart at this point.

He joined the battle against the ghouls as well.

However.

He was already maxed out.

His combat strength was considerable.

Time and again, he narrowly escaped death.

In truth, his health bar was high enough.

He could withstand a great deal of damage.

And.

In battle, it was even easier for him to get hits in on other ghouls.

After all.

He had entered the fray too.

The chaotic battle continued.

One group died, and another took their place.

The ghouls were the same.

Both sides had truly begun fighting in earnest here.

As a result.

The Shui Family members inside the wooden shed had to make a decision.

What were they going to do with Chuan Hao?

"Since it has already failed, kill him!"

"In this state, he is practically no different from a ghoul. If the ghouls were to corrupt him further, would we not be aiding the enemy?"

Ghoulification was a dangerous plan.

While it could create a perfect warrior, it could also produce powerful creations that spiraled out of control.

Ghoulified mutants had been involved in the Phoenix Imperial City extermination incident of that year.

And now, with matters having come to this.

The Shui Family had no choice.

They could only kill Chuan Hao.

"Then do it!"

"Fine!"

The moment the words fell.

Before the Shui Family could make a move.

The ground began to shake, and the entire wooden shed was instantly overturned by pagoda tree branches!

"Everyone, could you return my kin to me?" The Pagoda Tree Ghoul walked over with a grin.

Then it pointed at Chuan Hao and said, "Look, he obviously isn't one of your people, is he?"

"So consider it a good deed! Hehe!"

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort.

A Moon-Shattering Realm expert from the Shui Family suddenly appeared and charged straight at Chuan Hao, intending to kill him.

However...

Bang!

The Pagoda Tree Ghoul directly tore through its Human Skin.

Its true form burst forth.

A treant!

That was right—the Pagoda Tree Ghoul's true form looked remarkably like a treant.

Its withered bark was covered in deep grooves. A fresh branch sprouted from its forehead, its few tender leaves swaying in the wind.

Though the Pagoda Tree Ghoul looked somewhat foolish.

But its aura was extremely dangerous.

It stomped lightly.

A vine instantly burst from the ground, blocking the Moon-Shattering Realm warrior who had tried to ambush Chuan Hao.

"Courting death!"

The man flew into a rage.

He immediately launched an attack on the Pagoda Tree Ghoul.

Like a fuse being lit.

In an instant.

A fierce battle erupted inside the wooden shed.

One Great Ghoul after another tore open their human skin and joined the fight.

Meanwhile, Chuan Hao, the central figure of it all, had somehow become completely ignored.

However.

The guy was not right in the head.

His massive body curled up in a corner as he continued shouting things like, "Don't kill me!"

As the experts clashed, the battle immediately grew even more brutal.

Zhang Qing sensed that something was wrong.

He broke away from the melee and began circling around.

With a sweep of his gaze—

Shui Gao; 274/2450!

Heh.

Wasn't this the guy who had fought alongside him and helped Shui Meng avenge herself?

Starflash Realm. Pretty damn impressive.

And now...

Smack!

Suddenly.

A massive fist came flying over.

Shui Gao's head instantly exploded.

He died on the spot.

Zhang Qing smacked his lips.

That loot bag was gone.

Even so, Zhang Qing would not dare loot it.

The Starflash Realm fighters were all in the heart of the battle.

Terrifying stuff.

With his small frame, he might get instantly killed!

It was safer to scavenge around the edges.

When he looked back.

More and more of Razor's people were still joining the fight.

He even.

Spotted healing warriors providing support.

Huh?

Had Razor gone insane?

Healing warriors were incredibly precious.

They had come here for a war of attrition?

If even one of them died, it would be a massive loss!

Suddenly.

Zhang Qing spotted someone he knew.

Yang Man.

Holy shit, what was this young miss doing here?

Huh.

Wait.

Yang Man, one of the chess players, had actually come here.

Did that mean...

the battle was about to be rewritten?

Retreat!

Zhang Qing made the decision without hesitation.

The Specters had no faction capable of facing the Razor family of Zi City head-on.

Otherwise, what else would they be hiding for?

They would have opened an all-you-can-eat buffet in Zi City long ago.

With Razor's healing martial artists entering the battlefield, Zhang Qing keenly sensed that the battle was about to undergo a massive change.

So...

he slipped away early.

Besides.

He had already mooched off enough.

As long as all the Specters on this battlefield died, Zhang Qing would soar from then on!

"Why are you here?" Yang Man asked as she looked at the bedraggled Zhang Qing.

Her brows furrowed, making her look a little cute.

Zhang Qing pursed his lips. He truly felt hungry...

"I was on patrol. I saw a big battle over here, so I joined in," Zhang Qing said.

He was just making it up on the spot anyway.

Shui Meng, the only person who knew the truth, was already lying dead.

"Stay with me. Don't die!" Yang Man said.

Then she continued forward.

Razor's overwhelming advance began to take control of the battle.

The Specters were retreating step by step.

But...

in the core area, those Waning Moon Realm combatants were far too terrifying.

They were completely unaffected.

Then...

under Zhang Qing's watch.

Yang Man directed several healing martial artists to surround the area, while she took a box from her sleeve.

Then she slowly opened it.

Zhang Qing froze.

This was...

a technological creation!

Damn it, this world had gone insane!

His entire worldview shattered on the spot!
