Long-armed Specter!

Guan Yutian watched Zhang Qing's actions, fury rising in his chest.

"Forget that dead man!"

"Pick up your bow and fight!"

He roared.

Two members of the squad had died: Yun Qing and Bao Lie.

The remaining three were barely holding on.

Heishan was badly wounded and had little fighting strength left.

Pusan was being watched closely. Once he made a move, the Long-armed Ghoul might break loose.

Guan Yutian was gritting his teeth and holding the line.

But...

In a direct fight, he had no real advantage.

Even when his saber blocked an attack, the impact still injured him.

The key was...

His stamina was about to run out.

How could Ratfolk stamina compare to a Specter's endurance?

Zhang Qing's appearance was an unknown variable.

Maybe...

He could serve as a human shield and buy him a moment to catch his breath.

Zhang Qing heard that.

He did not run. Instead, he really picked up his bow and joined the fight.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Qing fired a Cupping Arrow.

-12!

Then...

He immediately ran toward Heishan.

At that moment, Heishan's status was:

Heishan;46/254!

That much Blood Volume showed that he was severely injured.

But he could still barely move.

"My lord, retreat from the battlefield first! I'll hold the Specter back!" Zhang Qing shouted as he ran.

Heishan froze, his eyes reddening.

I'm truly a piece of shit!

This guy...

He was a good man.

Zhang Qing rushed over, pulled Heishan to his feet, and staggered off to the side with him.

"Zhang Qing, from now on, you're my brother. I'll look after you!" Heishan said emotionally.

The moment he finished speaking—

"Watch out!"

Someone shouted from behind them.

Guan Yutian had lost control of the Long-armed Ghoul again.

In fact, when the Long-armed Ghoul saw that a little nobody who had not even reached the Glimmering Realm dared to attack it—

It immediately locked onto him.

Therefore...

Charging at him was the most logical thing to do.

Guan Yutian had also intended for Zhang Qing to provoke it and give him room to catch his breath.

He had not expected Zhang Qing to help Heishan out of the battlefield instead.

Fuck this!

Zhang Qing turned around.

The Long-armed Ghoul was already charging toward him.

He immediately raised both arms in front of his chest and thought, I have over two hundred Blood Volume, and I have the Glimmering Cultivation Technique. I refuse to believe you can one-shot me!

Bang!

The Long-armed Ghoul swung wide.

It sent Zhang Qing flying.

-132!

Zhang Qing;86/218!

Good. As expected, it could not kill him in one hit.

And...

That blow had directly exposed Heishan.

Bang.

One punch.

"Aah!!"

Heishan screamed.

But he did not die.

Zhang Qing's eyes lit up.

Heishan's current status was:

Heishan;3/254!

Sure enough, the Long-armed Ghoul's maximum damage against Heishan was 45 points.

At a critical moment like this, Heishan could force out a burst of strength and keep his Blood Volume from dropping too low.

Three Blood Volume.

In Guan Yutian's eyes, that was no different from being dead!

"Bastard!"

Guan Yutian flew into a rage.

He had been in charge of this squad for a long time.

He had also heard that the higher-ups were considering disbanding the rotation squads.

If that happened...

Every person in this squad would become part of his future foundation.

And now...

Only two were left alive.

Guan Yutian charged forward in a fury.

He unleashed a barrage of strikes against the Long-armed Ghoul.

Meanwhile, Zhang Qing used the same trick again.

It was another battlefield rescue.

As he rescued him, he shouted, "Medic, medic... hurry and save him!"

-1!

-1!

-1!

Heishan;0/254!

Congratulations, Host, for killing Heishan. Maximum Life +254!

Current Host Life;340/472!

What a huge profit!

"Zhang Qing!"

Guan Yutian exploded with rage.

"Don't fucking worry about the dead!"

"Help out!"

"Pusan, don't just stand there either!"

"Alright!"

Zhang Qing and Pusan joined the battle.

Guan Yutian had been hard-tanking the Long-armed Ghoul the whole time, and his stamina was failing.

Meanwhile, the Long-armed Ghoul was covered in wounds and did not look to be in good condition either.

In Zhang Qing's eyes:

Long-armed Ghoul;231/1380!

Then he checked the others:

Pusan;134/264!

Guan Yutian;173/475!

Zhang Qing;340/472!

Good.

I have the most Blood Volume.

Pusan began attacking.

-24!

Zhang Qing did the same, except...

He deliberately shot wide.

He had just been struck by the Long-armed Ghoul and was badly injured. Was it not perfectly normal for him to miss badly?

However...

That one huge miss made Pusan's scalp go numb.

The Long-armed Ghoul locked onto him.

Terrified, he hurriedly retreated.

Guan Yutian took advantage of that brief opening and launched several frantic attacks.

-23!

-21!

-24!

But he was careless and got sent flying by the Long-armed Ghoul.

-54!

With his stamina exhausted, even his defense had slackened.

And...

The Long-armed Ghoul seemed to see through his predicament and pursued him relentlessly.

Two more punches came crashing down.

-34!

-64!

Fuck.

Guan Yutian was down to a sliver of Blood Volume.

Guan Yutian;21/475!

He could not die.

If he died, they would not be able to kill the Long-armed Ghoul.

Worse still, even if Zhang Qing survived, he would be held accountable.

Razor's prison was no different from death.

Therefore...

He had to save him.

Pfft!

-17!

An arrow embedded itself deeply in the Long-armed Ghoul's forehead.

The Long-armed Ghoul suddenly stiffened. It slowly turned around.

Seeing Zhang Qing still alive and kicking, rage surged within it.

He was simply like a fly!

It abandoned Guan Yutian, who was on the verge of death, and chased after Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing fired another arrow.

The arrow pierced directly into the Long-armed Ghoul's eye socket.

-35!

Critical hit!

Then he started running.

Zhang Qing's burst speed was not much different from that of a Glimmer-tier martial artist.

But his stamina and endurance were lacking.

After running a few steps, he turned back and fired another arrow.

-16!

At the same time, he shouted,

"My lord!"

He was calling out to Pusan.

Pusan had no choice but to grit his teeth and fire an arrow.

-24!

Then he tossed aside his bow and drew his blade.

He still had over a hundred health left. He could still fight!

The Long-armed Ghoul had been drawn away by Zhang Qing and failed to notice Pusan's blade coming at it.

Slash, slash, slash...

-21!

-20!

-24!

Three slashes in all.

Those three slashes

had nearly shaved the Long-armed Ghoul down to a sliver of health.

Long-armed Ghoul: 74/1380!

Bang.

With a casual sweep, the Long-armed Ghoul sent Pusan flying.

-34!

Pusan: 100/264!

"Damn it, why won't you die?!"

Guan Yutian took two breaths. Seeing Pusan get swept away, his eyes turned bloodshot.

The Long-armed Ghoul was covered in wounds, with countless arrows embedded in its body.

Blood was splattered everywhere.

Yet it still was not dead.

Zhang Qing knew that it only had a sliver of health left.

But Guan Yutian did not.

"Zhang Qing, run with everything you've got!"

he shouted.

"Pusan and I will charge in one more time!"

"If you make it out alive, I'll put in a merit claim for you!"

Guan Yutian spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and swallowed several pills.

Then he prepared for one final charge.

Zhang Qing smacked his lips.

A merit claim?

Not a chance.

They only wanted to keep him steady as a meat shield.

Razor was full of ruthless bastards who ate people alive.

Still.

This was the crucial moment for controlling the enemy's health.

The Long-armed Ghoul's life was already hanging by a thread.

Whoever wanted to seize the final blow now would need skill and nerve.
