Chapter Six Hundred Sixty-Seven: Three Marks

The Bandit Ranking Leader knew full well that he couldn't beat Fang Yue, and he couldn't outrun him either. He was all but certain to die.

But the bandit leader truly couldn't understand.

Ye Niu Niu and the anomaly had worked together in a way that looked just like a human Martial Artist and an anomaly teaming up to hunt. They coordinated with incredible precision.

Thinking back, everything had started to turn around when that [Sticky Cotton Anomaly] appeared.

The five of them had been working together head-on, gradually gaining the upper hand against Fang Yue. Then the anomaly appeared, and the ensuing chaos had brought them to this point.

Wasn't it as if... Fang Yue had been the anomaly's inside man all along?

But before he could ask, Fang Yue's figure flashed. He had already leaped down from the horse's back and stabbed toward the bandit leader's chest.

"Wait..."

Shhk—

A sharp pain pierced his chest. The blade had gone straight through his heart.

The bandit leader's eyes widened. He opened his mouth to say something, but blood clogged his throat. Blood poured out as his breathing weakened, until he fell silent.

[ Mouthy Little Hands ] emerged from the ground just in time. Like rows of fangs sprouting from the earth, they swallowed the bandit leader's corpse.

Fang Yue watched the [Sticky Cotton Anomaly] consume the bandit leader. Blood occasionally spurted from the cluster of little hands, making his expression darken.

Although the [Sticky Cotton Anomaly] had pointed him in the right direction before, he had never believed it was acting out of kindness.

An anomaly was an anomaly. How could one possibly help humans out of kindness?
