As Fang Yue moved, he immediately brought the sound of wind whistling around him, his momentum terrifying.
The first to bear the brunt was Xin Jue.
With a few bursts of speed, Fang Yue charged in front of Xin Jue. However, due to the advantage of the long weapon, Xin Jue launched his attack first.
"Flowing Stab!"
Xin Jue's long spear thrust forward fiercely, plain and unadorned.
There were no fancy tricks, only extreme speed and power.
At the same time, no Internal Energy airflow could be felt coiling around the spear.
After all, Xin Jue was not Captain-level in strength.
He was merely a squad leader within the Patrol Team, not possessing advanced skills like Internal Energy cultivation. He only learned crude martial arts.
What are crude martial arts? They are martial skills that rely purely on physical strength and technique, without the support of Internal Energy.
Therefore, this stab was very direct, so direct that...
Fang Yue raised a hand, his palms facing outwards, and slammed them heavily onto the spearhead.
Bare palms striking iron spear!
BANG!
With a heavy thud, the spearhead tilted, the shaft vibrated and twisted, and it slanted past the flesh of his palms.
-15!
Fang Yue, with his Force Dissipation reaching 34 points, still took high damage from this block, and his health was immediately replenished by [Night's Breath].
And at this moment, after blocking the attack, Fang Yue immediately counter-attacked, grabbing the spear shaft and pulling hard.
Xin Jue's expression instantly turned to one of utter horror.
Because he felt a terrifying, monstrous force coming from the spear.
He had practiced with his spear for ten years, achieving a unity of man and weapon; his spear had never slipped from his grasp!
The spear was an extension of his hands, a part of his body, obeying his every command.
But this time, the spear became the enemy's tool.
He was suddenly yanked off the ground by twenty to thirty centimeters, pulled towards Fang Yue along with the spear by that monstrous force.
Seeing Fang Yue just inches away, Xin Jue wanted to use the spear to defend himself, but Fang Yue held it with both hands, unmoving! It was as if it had become Fang Yue's possession.
With no other choice, Xin Jue let go of the spear, formed his hands into fists, and, cooperating with the momentum, unleashed a straight punch.
"Good move!"
As the fist came forward, Fang Yue let go of the spear and raised his hand to block it at his chest.
BANG!
BANG!
-1!
-1!
Xin Jue's fists were clearly not impressive. Two punches landed on Fang Yue's block, only to generate two -1 notifications.
He didn't budge at all?!
How much Force Dissipation did that take?
Xin Jue panicked and instinctively tried to retreat, but a large hand grabbed his clothes.
"Did I permit you to retreat?!"
With a heavy slam, Xin Jue was smashed into the ground by the monstrous force. The floor immediately cracked and splintered, and he himself let out a cry, spitting blood from his mouth, with terrifying numbers appearing above his head.
-81!
Xin Jue's head was spinning, his body aching.
He had not cultivated Martial Path, his blood and qi were weak; Fang Yue's punch had nearly killed him.
If another punch came, wouldn't that mean...
Looking at Fang Yue's raised, massive fist, Xin Jue was almost scared to urinate.
"I, I, I'll give up..."
BANG!!
The fist smashed fiercely into Xin Jue's forehead.
The fist compressed his skin, squeezed his flesh, sinking into his skull, accompanied by cracking sounds. His skull fractured, leaving an imprint of the fist.
THUD!!
With a loud explosion, Xin Jue's eyeballs bulged out. His hands and feet reflexively sprang up, then fell silently. His gaze gradually became vacant, and he stopped moving. A bloody number slowly appeared above his head.
-73!
In Martial Path, regardless of whether they are an NPC or a Player, their HP is 100 points; the only difference is attribute points.
Two punches, over 100 HP, Xin Jue had no chance of survival.
As Fang Yue retracted his fists, the system notification suddenly sounded.
"System Notification: Player has killed [Ancient Moon Village Patrol Leader] Xin Jue. Ancient Moon Village Disfavor +3."
Ancient Moon Village Disfavor? What does that mean?
Fang Yue was slightly stunned.
Analysis Pupil immediately provided an explanation.
"Ancient Moon Village Disfavor: Villagers of Ancient Moon Village will feel aversion towards you. If aversion is too high, you will be driven out of the village."
"Note: Do more good deeds! Be a good villager!"
Alright, looks like I can't just go around killing people randomly...
Without rushing to loot the body, Fang Yue turned and stared intently at the five approaching patrol team members.
This series of actions by Fang Yue, though complex to describe, actually happened in the blink of an eye during his encounter with Xin Jue, ending the battle.
However, what surprised him was that the five charging individuals had already stopped.
They were staring blankly at Xin Jue's corpse, then their gazes shifted in terror towards Fang Yue, scaring them half to death.
Their formation hadn't even been set up, and they hadn't coordinated their attacks, yet their leader had been killed!
What kind of efficiency is this?
What kind of power gap is this?
The five members of the team were dumbfounded, bewildered.
Finally snapping back to reality, they began to retreat one after another.
"Xin, Brother Xin Jue is dead!"
"This Anomaly killed Brother Xin Jue!"
"Retreat! We're no match for him! Let's go get Captain Lin and the others to help!"
"Scatter and flee! Save whoever we can! We must get the message out!"
The last person to speak was the scarred second-in-command, A Ning.
After speaking, he chose a small path and fled for his life.
The others also chose directions and fled in all directions.
"Brother Ye! Brother Ye! You're my idol! So cool, so awesome, so cool!"
As the five-person team fled, Niu Niu immediately came over, looting Xin Jue's body while showering Fang Yue with praise.
Not to mention, all this praise made Fang Yue feel quite pleased with himself.
However, as soon as he got serious, he immediately pressed down on Niu Niu's hand.
"The loot is mine!"
Niu Niu immediately cried out in distress: "Brother Ye, you're too domineering! I paid money!"
"You'll get your antidote. I won't shortchange you."
Though he said that, after Fang Yue took out the items from Xin Jue, he still gave Niu Niu 100 coins.
As for his own gains...
1000 copper coins X1.
Flowing Stab Manual X1.
Standard Iron Spear X1.
A medicine box containing the Heart-Devouring Pill X1.
With his net worth soaring to 1050 coins, Fang Yue stood a little straighter, and thinking of the broken saber lying in his backpack, he had a new idea.
Perhaps he could find a blacksmith's shop and see if it could be repaired?
As for crude martial arts like the Flowing Stab Manual, Fang Yue planned to keep it to exchange with others for manuals, or sell it for money.
The spear was truly useless. After discussing it with Niu Niu, Fang Yue ended up selling it to him for 10,000 coins.
Only the medicine box containing the Heart-Devouring Pill was kept by Fang Yue himself.
In this way, Fang Yue earned over 70,000 from Niu Niu that night.
He had become rich overnight!
Fang Yue rejoiced inwardly, once again feeling that entering this game to farm gold was the right choice.
In his excitement, for some reason, Fang Yue's mind recalled the words written on the parchment—he would become a millionaire.
Could it be that this was really going to come true in this game?
Fang Yue felt a little excited.
A millionaire, he never dared to dream of it before, even a million yuan felt out of reach.
But this overnight fortune made him feel like he saw a glimmer of hope, and he became much more confident.
As for Niu Niu, he had already taken the antidote for the Heart-Devouring Pill and was currently detoxifying with a constipated look on his face.
One by one, milky white worms crawled out of his pores with difficulty, falling to the ground and becoming still.
It was as if Niu Niu's body had suddenly become a furnace, forcing the strange worms to leave.
This antidote was hidden among several Heart-Devouring Pills in the medicine box, and they all looked identical on the outside.
If Fang Yue hadn't noticed with his Analysis Pupil, Niu Niu would have had to swallow them one by one to try. He probably couldn't have guessed the correct answer even after dying a few times. It would have been good enough if Fang Yue hadn't charged extra for this service, and yet he still wanted to share my spoils.
As Fang Yue thought this, in the distance, a ball of flame suddenly rose from the silent, dark night sky, shooting straight up before finally exploding into brilliant fireworks in the night sky.
Fang Yue's expression froze, and he immediately reacted.
Damn it!
"Focus Fire Order!"
