Grievance Level Monstrosity, A Stronger Being Above the Divine Strength Realm!

"What do we do now?" Shi Meng asked, clearly already treating Wei Fan as the leader.

"Wait!" Wei Fan said calmly.

From his previous encounters with monstrosities, Wei Fan knew not to act rashly when facing a strange one. He needed to calmly think of a way to counter it first.

Otherwise, he'd end up like Zhao Long, who had brute strength but whose fate was now unknown.

Wei Fan, on the other hand, had severed the hidden controlling threads with little effort, resolving the crisis.

In the darkness, Shi Meng and Wei Fan stood ready, vigilant of their surroundings.

A few breaths later, a bare-chested, well-built man appeared on the city wall.

Upon seeing him, Shi Meng's expression relaxed, and he said with some excitement, "Captain, you're finally here!"

Wei Fan also sized up the man, realizing this was the Captain of the Night Watch Team, Lu Qingshan! The expert who was said to be beyond the Divine Strength Realm, as Shi Meng had mentioned.

A flicker of fighting spirit flashed in Wei Fan's eyes. He also wanted to know what kind of strength an expert beyond the Divine Strength Realm possessed.

Lu Qingshan glanced at Shi Meng and Wei Fan and said sternly, "You two retreat. Grievance Level battles are not something you can interfere with."

"Grievance Level?" Shi Meng's pupils contracted, and he pulled Wei Fan back a hundred paces.

Martial artists in the Divine Strength Realm could only deal with Black Ghost Level monstrosities. Blood Ghost Level ones posed a risk of death, let alone the terrifying Grievance Level.

Knowing this monstrosity was Grievance Level, Shi Meng felt a wave of lingering fear.

At this moment, a tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

"Zhao Long?" Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes, his face filled with caution.

"Chirp chirp!" Zhao Long suddenly looked up, revealing a sinister smile. Then, with a flash of his blade, he slashed towards Lu Qingshan.

"Seeking death!" Lu Qingshan's muscles bulged, and a red dot lit up on his chest, indicating he had activated the burst secret technique of the Three Yuan Battle Art.

What surprised Wei Fan was that while the Three Yuan Battle Art, when cultivated to perfection, manifested three burst nodes on the body, Lu Qingshan currently had a full five burst nodes.

This meant Lu Qingshan could achieve a fivefold amplification. His strength multiplied five times! Terrifying indeed.

Facing Zhao Long's sudden attack, Lu Qingshan didn't dodge. He met the blow head-on with a punch, sending Zhao Long flying and embedding him into the city wall.

"With this kind of strength, I wonder how many tens of thousands of catties it is!" A bright light flashed in Wei Fan's eyes, and he felt a trace of apprehension towards Lu Qingshan. Perhaps after this, he could ask Shi Meng about cultivation techniques beyond the Divine Strength Realm.

Boom!

Zhao Long, who had been sent flying, acted as if unharmed. Like a cannonball, he shot forward again.

Zhao Long's mutated body moved with his joints bending in extremely strange and uncoordinated ways, yet every slash was filled with deadly intent.

Lu Qingshan, caught off guard, could only dodge repeatedly.

Just then, Zhao Hu, whose controlling threads had been severed, also emerged from the darkness, forming a pincer attack with Zhao Long.

Their fearless approach to pain and death made it difficult for Lu Qingshan to handle them for a time.

"Cut the controlling threads above their heads!" Wei Fan reminded him.

"Hm?" A sharp glint flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes. With his fivefold amplification, he punched Zhao Hu away, then drew his saber and slashed horizontally, severing the controlling threads on Zhao Hu's body.

He then followed suit, severing the controlling threads on Zhao Long's back.

After resolving the immediate threat, Lu Qingshan looked at Wei Fan with admiration in his eyes. "Young man, thank you for the reminder!"

"It was nothing," Wei Fan replied with a calm smile.

"We haven't found the source of the monstrosity yet, so we can't act rashly. But since its weakness has been discovered, things will be much simpler!" Lu Qingshan observed Wei Fan. He had initially thought Wei Fan was just an unknown nobody, but he hadn't expected such sharp insight, finding the monstrosity's weakness in such a short time.

Wei Fan was unaware of Lu Qingshan's thoughts. As an observer, with his enhanced senses and the strange movements of these Night Watchers, it was simple to deduce they were being controlled by threads.

"Since this monstrosity can control the corpses of the Night Watchers, let's clear out the bodies first!" Wei Fan suggested. Based on the previous situation, even if these transparent threads were cut, they would reconnect quickly. Therefore, to solve the problem at its root, they needed to eliminate the corpses so the monstrosity would have no puppets to control.

"Makes sense!" Lu Qingshan nodded. He took out a green porcelain bottle from his bosom. "I have special Corpse Dissolving Water. I'll handle it!"

Neither Shi Meng nor Wei Fan objected. After all, Lu Qingshan had the highest cultivation level, and his strength was sufficient to face any sudden crisis.

Lu Qingshan found Zhao Long's corpse, tilted the bottle, and a drop of black, viscous liquid slowly fell.

Hiss!

Zhao Long's corpse emitted a puff of white smoke and was completely corroded into a pool of liquid in half a breath's time.

Wei Fan secretly clicked his tongue. This small bottle was practically a divine artifact for murder, robbery, and disposing of evidence!

But just then, an unexpected change occurred.

Zhao Hu's uncontrolled corpse bizarrely slid sideways at that instant, as if trying to dodge something.

"It's trying to escape, chase!"
