Free Attribute Points

No!

Absolutely impossible!

The old man denied his own thought almost as soon as it left his mouth.

Blade Qi and Sword Qi were attack methods that only cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage could use with their profound true essence.

If Kong Wu before him was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he could have finished him off with a single strike.

So how did he do it?

Let alone the old man, even Kong Wu himself didn't know how he did it.

Don't mind Wang Erhu and the others calling it "Blood Cloak" over and over, as if it were some kind of martial arts secret.

In reality, what Kong Wu did was very simple.

Swing the saber with all his might.

Swing it like a madman!

As the zhanmadao's swing speed increased, the wind pressure it generated also grew stronger. Once it reached a certain level, it could produce this effect.

This was Kong Wu's own judgment.

Thanks to his [Strength] attribute of 7 points, he could sustain this intensity of continuous slashes for a quarter of an hour.

Although the old man didn't know how long Kong Wu could last, he knew he definitely wouldn't be able to hold out until then.

He looked at Kong Wu with sinister eyes, a flicker of reluctance flashing across his face.

Then, as the next slash approached, the old man gritted his teeth and reached out with his left hand.

Screech~

A piercing sound rang out, and the pale red wind mass dispersed.

Kong Wu's zhanmadao was embedded in the black palm, almost slicing it open, leaving only a sliver of flesh connecting it.

The old man, at the cost of losing an arm, stopped Kong Wu's slash.

Then, the old man's right hand swiftly reached into his chest and pulled out a black talisman paper.

Seeing this, Kong Wu's heart grew wary, and he immediately lifted his foot and stomped hard on the old man's chest, widening the distance between them.

In a world where cultivation was possible, who knew what effects those talismans had? It was always good to be cautious.

Kong Wu watched the old man warily, but after the old man took out the black talisman paper, it had no offensive effect.

Instead, the black talisman paper turned into black light and merged into the old man's legs.

Then, the old man slowly ascended, actually floating up.

"A ghost... a ghost!"

Seeing this, Skinny Monkey's legs went weak, and he fell to the ground, instinctively shouting.

The surrounding civilians who were watching the commotion immediately scattered in all directions.

However, Kong Wu showed no sign of panic at all.

For a believer of an Evil God, it would be strange if they didn't have some trump card up their sleeve.

He just didn't know what kind of attack would come next.

He gripped the zhanmadao in his hand, focusing all his attention on the old man.

The old man looked down from above at everyone, dark light flowing around him, making him appear terrifying.

Then, he cast a deep look at Kong Wu and said in a low voice, "I've got your number!"

With that, he turned and left.

His figure swayed unsteadily in the sky as he flew into the distance. After flying less than a hundred meters, he suddenly fell.

"Zhu Yin Sheng! You sold me fake goods!"

After an enraged curse, a faint "plop" sound came from where the old man fell.

It seemed he had fallen into the river.

Skinny Monkey watched this scene, his fear subsiding considerably.

Even these monsters could fall.

Just as his thoughts shifted, a figure rushed past him.

Kong Wu, carrying his saber, ran straight towards where the old man had fallen.

Damn it! This was a valuable attribute point he had finally encountered, he couldn't let him escape!

He took a direct path, jumping onto rooftops to cross over civilian houses, and when he encountered walls, he either smashed through dirt walls or leaped over stone walls, not wanting to waste any time.

Before long, he reached his destination.

It was just a pity that by the time he arrived, the river was calm, and even the ripples had subsided.

Kong Wu surveyed the riverbed. His keen eyesight, enhanced by his 7 points of [Strength], yielded no clues. In the river for a hundred meters in either direction, there were no people to be seen, only some small fish and shrimp.

Across the river, a lone woman sat on the ground, her clothes scattered around her.

She looked panicked, muttering something continuously.

It seemed she had been greatly frightened while coming out to wash clothes.

Kong Wu took a few steps forward, then used a running start to leap across the four to five meter wide river, landing before the woman.

Seeing the burly figure, with disheveled hair like a demon, the woman was initially terrified.

But the next moment, perhaps seeing Kong Wu's official uniform, she patted her chest to calm herself.

Kong Wu helped the woman up and asked, "Did you see an old Taoist priest just now?"

"Ah, I saw him, I saw him... That person ran into that forest!"

The woman, seemingly quite scared, stammered and pointed to the forest behind her.

Kong Wu nodded as he looked at the forest, sheathed his Zhanmadao and slung it onto his back. He then bent down to pick up the scattered clothes and handed them over.

The woman looked grateful and was about to thank him when she suddenly found her vision blocked by various clothes, with no sign of Kong Wu.

Kong Wu's thick arm reached through the clothes and plunged directly into the woman's chest, grabbing her heart.

The woman's black arm gradually faded, her eyes filled with confusion.

"How did you... cough!"

Before she could finish speaking, Kong Wu crushed her heart.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the woman fell backward.

Congratulations on defeating "Evil God Follower", you have gained 4 Free Attribute Points and 1 Special Point! (Special Points can be used on items to randomly grant them special attributes)

As the mechanical voice sounded in his mind, Kong Wu confirmed that he had completely killed this Evil God Follower.

The Evil God Follower likely never understood how Kong Wu could so brazenly attack an innocent woman.

In his mind, even if Kong Wu suspected him, he wouldn't resort to lethal force.

What if he was wrong?

But he didn't know that under Kong Wu's golden finger, everyone's attribute panel was clearly visible.

No matter how skilled his disguise technique was, in Kong Wu's eyes, the glaring attribute panel couldn't lie.

At this moment, looking at his own attribute points in his mind, Kong Wu trembled with excitement.

[Kong Wu][Vitality: 102][Strength: 7][Skill: None][Free Attribute Points: 4][Special Attribute Points: 1]

His current 7 points in Strength already made his physique inhuman.

So, with 4 Free Attribute Points, if he added them to Strength, how much stronger would he become?

Just as Kong Wu was about to add the 4 Free Attribute Points to his Strength attribute, he heard shouts from not far away.

"Constable Kong! We... we've come to help you."

Skinny Monkey led the way, followed by many constables, all of them panting.

Seeing this, Kong Wu had to stop his actions for now.

"Constable Kong! We... Huh? What's this?"

Skinny Monkey ran up to Kong Wu and only then noticed the woman lying on the ground.
