Black Ghost Level Monstrosity · Marrow-Eating Lizard!

"Why?"

Wang La didn't understand why Wei Fan would kill so decisively. He had almost succeeded in his sneak attack!

What was even more bizarre at this moment was that after Wang La was beheaded, no blood spurted from the severed neck.

Under the torchlight on the city wall, one could vaguely see that instead of flesh and blood, there were clumps of viscous gelatinous matter inside.

"What the hell are you?" Wei Fan spat.

"Chirp chirp chirp..." At this moment, the bizarre head actually started to speak, "When did you realize I wasn't right?"

"I don't trust anyone, and you were acting strange from the start!" Wei Fan said calmly.

"How was I acting strange?" the head continued.

"You were talking just to get my attention so you could sneak attack me from behind?" Wei Fan sneered.

His powerful senses had already detected that Wang La's headless corpse was swinging a saber to attack him.

Wei Fan swept his Wild Goose Wing Saber horizontally, blocking the attack.

Clang!

Wei Fan's arm went numb. The power of Wang La's headless corpse had actually reached a level comparable to his own.

Late stage Strength Training Realm only had about three thousand jin of strength. Now Wang La's strength had surged, clearly a result of this Monstrosity's possession.

"Your strength is decent, but your saber technique is terrible!" Wei Fan attacked again, his saber technique as fast as lightning.

A silver line erupted from Wang La's headless corpse's waist, and then its entire upper body slid off.

"Hehehe, you can't kill me!" a strange voice came.

The corpse of Wang La on the ground turned into a pool of liquid, quickly gathering and then forming a complete human shape.

At this moment, Wei Fan was not idle. He took out a yellow signal flare and fired it into the night sky.

"Calling for backup? You don't have a chance anymore. You'll die here tonight!" the possessed Wang La let out a strange laugh.

"Noisy!" Wei Fan lunged, cutting Wang La in half again with his saber.

Whoosh~ Bang!

At this moment, the yellow signal flare exploded in the air, its brilliant light dispelling the darkness and illuminating a small area.

Wei Fan looked to the left of the city wall, where there was a mass of shadow. He immediately charged with a cold laugh, "You bastard, I finally found you!"

"Damn it, so you fired the signal flare to find my true form!" The shadow monster opened its mouth and spat out an incredibly thick vine. As it flew, the vine split, two becoming four, and lashed fiercely at Wei Fan.

"True Intent State, activate!" Tiger stripes appeared on Wei Fan's forehead, and his physique and speed increased again.

Riiip!

Wei Fan was unstoppable. The four vines were cut down by a silver light, and the shadow Monstrosity was also split in two.

"This... Ah!!!" After a scream, the Monstrosity completely died, revealing its original form.

It was a chameleon-like monster with vine-like tongues, its appearance bizarre and ferocious.

Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a Black Ghost Level Monstrosity, gaining 12 energy points!

The system's voice sounded.

"This harvest is quite substantial!" Wei Fan's eyes lit up.

Twelve energy points were enough for him to upgrade his cultivation techniques several times!

The dense darkness gradually receded, revealing a crescent moon hanging in the night sky.

Wei Fan looked at the Wild Goose Wing Saber in his hand. The Little Flame Talisman had been used up, but the blade was undamaged.

Strangely, a black pattern had appeared on the blade.

Wei Fan withdrew from the True Intent State, and the black pattern disappeared.

"Could this be the effect of the Tiger's Breath Art reaching the True Intent Level?" Wei Fan muttered to himself.

He had suspected this when he killed Bai You a few days ago. He hadn't expected that cultivation techniques that broke through to the True Intent Level could actually have such an effect.

After about half an incense stick's worth of time, Wei Fan encountered no other dangers, but he also didn't get any rescue.

He had fired a signal flare earlier, so Shi Meng should have arrived quickly.

Thinking of this, Wei Fan looked at Wang La's corpse. After the Black Ghost Level Monstrosity was killed, Wang La was no longer controlled. The man had lost all life and turned into a humanoid mass of gelatinous substance.

Wei Fan collected the relatively intact Little Flame Talisman from his steel saber and waited again.

Another half an incense stick's worth of time passed, and a tall figure appeared, carrying a steel saber.

"Xiao Fan, are you alright?" Shi Meng walked out of the darkness, his face flickering in the firelight.

"I'm fine, Wang La is dead!" Wei Fan answered calmly, quietly attaching the Little Flame Talisman he had just scavenged to the hilt of his saber.

At this moment, both of them maintained a distance of ten paces with great tacit understanding.

This distance was the safest. Even if one of them suddenly attacked, the other could react.

"Not bad, you're very cautious!" Shi Meng smiled, taking out a Monstrosity Detection Talisman and sticking it on himself. Nothing happened.

"Prove yourself," Shi Meng tossed the Monstrosity Detection Talisman over.

Wei Fan caught it and slapped it onto his body. It also showed no reaction.

"Alright, looks like neither of us has a problem!" Shi Meng's expression relaxed. He immediately asked, "How did Wang La die?"

"We..." Wei Fan briefly recounted the battle, naturally hiding some of his strength.

Wei Fan pointed at the chameleon-like Monstrosity. Shi Meng looked over and was immediately greatly shocked.

"Marrow-Eating Lizard!"
