The Martial Competition Begins

Some anomalies could distinguish the bonds between people and wouldn't easily harm someone who had become their host.

Of course, that didn't apply to Fang Yue. He wasn't close to the head of the guards.

Fang Yue charged over and struck with his blade, cleaving the head guard's belly wide open. A mass of White Worms poured out, and Fang Yue crushed them into bloody pulp with his inner force before they hit the ground.

The remaining worms burrowed underground, leaving several small holes in the ground. That was the end of it.

Seeing Fang Yue covered in blood, everyone trembled with fear.

Fortunately, Fang Yue didn't actually kill everyone he saw. After using his inner force to resonate with the others, he confirmed that their organs hadn't been replaced by the symbiotic anomalies and that they could still be saved. Then, after killing the Symbiotic Worm Anomaly, he tossed them onto the rooftops.

As for those whose organs had been removed, leaving them beyond help, they naturally died of organ failure after the anomaly was killed.

It was soon discovered and surrounded by the strengthened Patrol Team, then killed.
