One Move!

Fang Yue's brow furrowed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a blurry figure in the distance rapidly approaching them, flickering in and out of sight.

His expression changed, and Fang Yue let out a low shout.

"It's here, let's go!"

While Soul Fire torches did have some effect against Anomalies, in this situation, whoever held a torch was likely to become a target.

Niu Niu wanted to die, but he couldn't stop him.

To Niu Niu's surprised expression, Fang Yue grabbed the guy slumped on the ground and slung him over his shoulder.

The Player who had gone offline had clearly given up hope, and Fang Yue couldn't be bothered to manage him.

"Go!"

Carrying the Player, Fang Yue moved with incredible speed, leading the charge towards the Chen Manor without a moment's hesitation, leaving a stunned Niu Niu behind.

Superhuman strength...

Snapping back to reality, Niu Niu lit his Soul Fire torch and followed closely behind.

Whoosh!

The wind whistled past Niu Niu's ears, but mixed with the wind were the sounds of footsteps, growing closer and closer!

A chill crawled up his spine, and Niu Niu couldn't help but look back.

Where they had just been standing, there was now a figure, holding the head of the Player who had gone offline.

With a pop, the Player's head was pulled off as easily as pulling a carrot from the ground.

At that moment, as if sensing Niu Niu's gaze, the figure slowly turned its head.

In the darkness, Niu Niu suddenly had the illusion that their eyes met.

His heart skipped a beat. The figure suddenly lurched, covering over ten meters in a single stride!

Holy crap!

Niu Niu was so terrified that his soul nearly flew out of his body. He turned and ran for his life.

But before he could run far, a head suddenly flew past his left side with a whoosh.

Niu Niu saw it clearly – it was the head of the Player who had gone offline, the flesh around the neck mangled, similar to Brother Yong's gruesome fate.

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Niu Niu's breathing grew rapid, while the footsteps behind him became more urgent, as if each step could cover a great distance, while he had to run with both feet firmly on the ground.

Unknowingly, cold sweat had already covered his forehead.

When the footsteps were almost right behind him, Niu Niu abruptly stopped and turned. He raised the Soul Fire torch in his left hand and clenched his right fist, smashing it down as he roared, "I'll fight you to the death!!"

At this moment, time seemed to slow down.

As Niu Niu spun around in a rage, he saw a woman dressed as a maid, with black blood flowing from her eyes, incredibly close. Her fair right hand was already about to touch his chest.

This palm strike, which should have hit Niu Niu's back, was now hitting his chest head-on due to his turn.

However, before the maid could touch him, his fist landed squarely on her head.

Bang.

A soft sound. The maid's head took the full force of the punch, and a number floated out lightly.

-3.

What?!

His punch only dealt 3 damage?!

As Niu Niu stared in shock and disbelief, the maid's palm made contact with his chest, pushing forward.

With a pop, his heart was expelled from his chest, leaving a palm-shaped void.

Holy hell!

Niu Niu was terrified to his core, his face ashen, and he frantically retreated.

But the massive damage he expected didn't come. Instead, a faint number popped out...

-1.

-1?!

We're evenly matched?!

And I don't even feel any pain!

In that split second of stunned silence, Niu Niu was filled with overwhelming joy.

Anomalies are nothing more than this!

Even after ripping out my heart, it only deals this much damage.

Right, I'm a Player, my body is digitized, so what if I don't have a heart!

Although I don't know where the concept of a digitized body came from, Niu Niu was indeed excited. His emotions changed extremely quickly, and he immediately suppressed his fear, his fighting spirit soaring.

He roared again and charged forward, punching towards the maid Anomaly's head.

"Eat my Innate Divine Strength Fist!!"

Facing Niu Niu's punch, the maid Anomaly stood still.

Only when Niu Niu's fist was about to reach her face... did her right hand move with a blur of motion too fast for the eye to see.

Slap!!

In the next instant, before Niu Niu could even react, his right cheek instantly caved in. He was sent flying by a terrifying force, the torch flying from his grasp.

It felt like being hit head-on by a train. He flew high into the air, rolling several times on the ground before stopping.

Dizzy and disoriented, he vomited a pool of blood with a "wah."

A horrifying number slowly appeared above his head.

-88!

"System Notification: You have fallen into a Severely Wounded state."

What the hell?!

One slap, 88 HP!

Niu Niu was stunned on the spot, frozen and unable to get up.

It shouldn't be like this. I only lost 1 HP just now...

Could this be the Anomaly's true strength?

Niu Niu dazedly looked up and saw the maid Anomaly, with a slight sway of her body, suddenly appear before him with a swish.

"It's over! My life is forfeit!"

Niu Niu despaired, but saw the maid Anomaly place her left hand on his left shoulder and grab his right hand with her right. With a gentle pull.

Pop.

His right arm was instantly dislocated, just like Brother Yong's severed limb!

What the hell! So that's how Brother Yong was killed!

I don't want to die such a brutal death!

Niu Niu, filled with fear, was contemplating whether to log off and escape when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a fiery light flashing behind the maid Anomaly out of the corner of his eye.

Hiss!

The moment the firelight appeared, the maid Anomaly's body paused slightly.

It was in this brief moment that the torchlight rapidly closed in, revealing a human face, which was none other than...

"Brother Ye!!"

Niu Niu was so excited he got goosebumps all over. Amidst his shouts, Fang Yue's fist slammed into the maid Anomaly's forehead.

No! Don't hit that spot!!

Niu Niu, who had just regained hope, let out a desperate wail in his heart.

He had just hit this maid Anomaly's forehead, and only lost 3 HP. It was clearly not a weak spot!

But before his thought could even finish...

Bang!!

With an explosive sound, the maid Anomaly's head was smashed directly downwards into the ground, falling to the earth.

Amidst the cracking floor, a large number appeared.

-99!

How much?!

Niu Niu's eyes immediately widened.

Damn! The same spot, the same punch, why did Brother Ye's punch do 99 damage while mine did -3?

The difference is too huge!

However, while Niu Niu was bewildered, Fang Yue didn't stop. He immediately mounted the maid Anomaly and, with a roar, repeatedly smashed his fists into the Anomaly's head, giving it no chance.

"Muda muda muda muda!"

Dong dong dong dong!!

-35!

-71!

-83!

-33!

-37!

A string of numbers frantically popped out from the maid's Anomaly head without any pause.

At this moment, Niu Niu felt Fang Yue was brimming with dominance and wildness, transforming into a battle maniac, completely different from his usual steady demeanor.

So this was Brother Ye's true personality!

His fighting style is too wild!

I love it!
