Got It! Yang Man!

"Then let's go for broke!"

Zhang Qing let out a furious roar.

He turned and charged straight at the Long-armed Ghoul.

He still had over three hundred Blood Volume left, enough to withstand two hits.

But.

The first to reach the Long-armed Ghoul were Guan Yutian and Pusan.

Their realms were higher, and they were faster.

"Die!"

Guan Yutian roared.

His saber slashed down.

It instantly left a massive wound on the Long-armed Ghoul's body.

-34!

Pusan had gone mad as well. The bandages around his head came loose, revealing his Rabbitfolk ears.

His eyes were bloodshot, and blood surged to his head.

He brought his saber down viciously.

-31!

The Long-armed Ghoul was practically at death's door.

Yet it still swung its long arms, sending Pusan and Guan Yutian flying.

Pusan crashed into Guan Yutian, and the two immediately went tumbling across the ground.

-72!

-12!

Luckily, Guan Yutian had been knocked away by Pusan.

Otherwise, that sweep would have killed Guan Yutian outright.

However.

Guan Yutian truly could not get back up now.

At present, his Blood Volume was:

Guan Yutian; 9/475!

With so little Blood Volume, if Zhang Qing dragged him around a few times, he might bleed to death.

Hmm... wait!

All of a sudden.

+7!

A number popped up above Guan Yutian's head.

His Blood Volume had recovered.

He had probably taken medicine.

But even with medicine, he would not be able to stand up anytime soon.

Pusan was not doing much better either.

That one slap had taken seventy-two points of Blood Volume from him.

It had nearly smashed every bone in his body apart.

His Blood Volume was:

Pusan; 28/264!

As for the Long-armed Ghoul, its Blood Volume had reached a level that nearly drove Zhang Qing mad:

Long-armed Ghoul; 9/1380!

Nine Blood Volume. It only had nine Blood Volume left!

Charge!

Could his own 340 Blood Volume not be worth its nine?

"Kill!"

Zhang Qing's blood boiled, and his eyes reddened.

He charged straight at the Long-armed Ghoul.

Bang...

The Long-armed Ghoul still had strength left.

It threw a punch, sending Zhang Qing flying.

-117!

Damn it, he could not get close.

He had thrown away his bow when he turned to charge earlier.

Now...

Huff...

In a flash of inspiration, Zhang Qing hurled the saber in his hand.

Pfft!

The saber embedded itself in the Long-armed Ghoul's head!

-9!

Long-armed Ghoul; 0/1380!

Dead!

Congratulations, player, for killing the Long-armed Ghoul. Attribute Point +1.5! (Completion principle.)

After receiving the prompt.

Zhang Qing lay on the ground without moving.

He looked exactly like a warrior who had charged to the very end.

The Long-armed Ghoul's body fell to the ground.

It did not move in the slightest.

Guan Yutian and Pusan exchanged looks, then slowly approached.

"It's... it's dead!"

"It really is dead!"

"Damn!"

Joy appeared on Guan Yutian's face.

He pulled Zhang Qing's saber free and tossed it aside.

Then he stuck his own saber into the ghoul.

Pusan, meanwhile, approached Zhang Qing with an odd expression.

However.

Zhang Qing knew exactly what kind of people the Razor Squad were.

When he noticed someone approaching, he pretended to wake up unsteadily.

He looked at the approaching Pusan and Guan Yutian beside the Long-armed Ghoul.

"Captain... the Specter..."

Then delight appeared on his face.

"Captain, you killed the Specter!"

Upon hearing that.

Both Pusan and Guan Yutian froze.

Then Guan Yutian laughed.

"Mm, not bad. You're a sharp kid. I didn't expect you to still be alive!"

At that moment, the number above his head read:

Guan Yutian; 41/475!

With that little Blood Volume, he sure talked big.

"You contributed this time too. You've got guts, so come back to my squad tomorrow," Guan Yutian said.

"I'll give you your reward then."

"All right, thank you, Captain. As for the reward, forget it. It was all Captain's credit," Zhang Qing said obediently.

"Mm. You're badly injured, so I'll permit you to return early and rest. Don't forget to come again tomorrow."

"Yes, goodbye, Captain."

Zhang Qing said.

Then he got to his feet with a limp.

He picked up his saber and bow and headed toward the Chuan Family.

"Wait..."

Guan Yutian suddenly said. Seeing that Zhang Qing was badly hurt and so sensible, he was probably planning to offer him a little sweetness.

"A physician will be coming shortly. Let them treat you too!"

"Ah, thank you, Captain."

Zhang Qing said happily.

Heh, an unexpected gain.

Physicians.

They were martial artists with specialized healing attributes.

It was related to their core Cultivation Technique.

In his previous life, not a single person on Blue Star had managed to learn a healing-attribute Cultivation Technique.

Because they were never passed on to outsiders.

Those Cultivation Techniques were exceptionally precious.

Zhang Qing secretly rejoiced.

This guy probably wants me to keep working for free tomorrow!

After fighting Specters, healing-attribute martial artists would administer treatment on the spot.

I heard that when a player received treatment from a healing-attribute martial artist for the first time, it would trigger a special effect and increase their physique.

I made a profit this time. Buttering him up wasn't for nothing.

The King of Hell was easy to deal with, but his underlings were hard to handle.

Zhang Qing understood the situation clearly when working with the Razor Squad.

He would not fight them over petty benefits.

He had not expected those petty benefits to bring such an unexpected gain.

Of course, he also had to keep them from using him as a disposable blade.

It all depended on how he handled things.

A short while later.

The people from the Razor Squad finally arrived one after another.

Yes.

They were even slower than cops in TV dramas.

The reason was simple.

Martial artists with healing attributes were generally protected.

Their combat ability was very low, and they were fragile.

So they were extremely valuable.

They would only appear after the battle had completely settled.

Otherwise, if one died in the fighting, would that not be a joke?

Zhang Qing noticed the unusual person in the group.

She was a Sheepfolk woman.

Yet she was highly humanoid, with fair skin. Only the two small sheep horns on her forehead and her two short sheep ears revealed her identity. She even looked rather cute.

Other than that, she was no different from a human.

Her figure was even more graceful than that of ordinary human women.

Zhang Qing immediately became wary.

In the Dark Realm, humans held a low status.

But among other races, the more human-like one looked, the higher their status and position!

This Sheepfolk woman was definitely no ordinary person.

She was the first to walk up to Guan Yutian.

She extended her small hand and began treating him.

A cluster of faint green light flickered softly.

Numbers restoring Blood Volume began appearing above Guan Yutian's head.

+45!

+45!

+45!

...

A few seconds later, his Blood Volume had recovered to around eighty percent.

Then she began treating Pusan's injuries.

Finally, it was Zhang Qing's turn.

There were degrees of closeness, after all.

Normal!

"Thank you for your hard work." The Sheepfolk woman came to Zhang Qing's side and spoke softly, her voice gentle.

Then she began treating him.

At that moment, Zhang Qing saw the Blood Volume bar above the woman's head;

Yang Man; 1540/1540!

Over a thousand Blood Volume?

A Specter?

No.

She was Candlelight Tier Five.

More importantly, her surname was Yang!

Among the Sheepfolk, Yang was the imperial surname.

This woman definitely came from Sheep Emperor City!

That was the Sheepfolk's Imperial City. Nearly every Sheepfolk member with the surname Yang came from Sheep Emperor City!

"Th-thank you!"

Zhang Qing replied quietly.

His Blood Volume rose rapidly.

It soon reached Zhang Qing; 390/472!

As his Blood Volume increased.

Zhang Qing also clearly heard the system's background notification;

First contact with Ghoulification Power. Constitution +5!

Zhang Qing; 440/522!

Ghoulification Power!

Zhang Qing neither made a fuss nor showed any other expression.

He merely silently committed those words to memory.

In his previous life, much information had been made public.

But just as much information remained secret.

Having been reborn and come into contact with it ahead of time, he should be able to learn these secrets.

After the woman left, Zhang Qing counted his gains.

A huge profit!
