Chapter 103 Gugu Gugu!

[Nuo Mian Gui] (Glutinous Cotton Ghoul) and Tian Wangchuan were hit almost simultaneously. Raising his hand to block, dense small hands emerged from his arm, combining into a small round shield.

Clang!!

When the long blade touched the 'small round shield', black blood splattered amidst a metallic clang. [Nuo Mian Gui] likewise staggered back several steps before steadying himself.

Compared to the [Dongliu Mountain] incident, he could barely cut [Nuo Mian Gui]’s true form.

The improvement in his strength was visible to the naked eye.

The power of a single strike forced both man and ghoul back, but the extension of the blade also destabilized its structure. That collision caused the blade to vibrate, with cracks appearing all over, on the verge of shattering.

However, this was just Fang Yue's initial test. After this attempt, he already had many ideas for adjusting the ice blade's structural arrangement, which he could slowly experiment with.

The initial success of the fifty-meter ice blade filled Fang Yue with excitement.

The effect of the Frozen Heart Skill was to freeze enemies.

According to the theory of relativity, weakening the enemy was equivalent to strengthening oneself. In a sense, as the battle dragged on, the frost intent of the Frozen Heart Skill gradually accumulated, and Fang Yue would only become braver and more powerful.

Just as Fang Yue was preparing to press his advantage, he was surprised to discover that... [Nuo Mian Gui], after pausing, turned around and chased after Tian Wangchuan again.

"Is this [Nuo Mian Gui] sick in the head! It was Ye Se Liming (Night Twilight) who attacked you just now, and I'm already so far away from you. Yet you're still chasing after me?!"

Tian Wangchuan, with a severed arm and a transparent cross-shaped wound on his chest, was already nearing his limit.

That sword block had almost exhausted all his strength.

Fortunately, he wasn't far from Fang Yue at this moment.

Seeing [Nuo Mian Gui] charging over, his expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth, closing the distance to Fang Yue once more.

This time, the distance between the three was already very close. In the blink of an eye, Tian Wangchuan had rushed in front of Fang Yue.

A weapon is more effective the longer it is.

But at this close range, a five-meter ice blade was more of a hindrance.

Retracting the ice blade to two meters in length, Fang Yue actively engaged, slashing at Tian Wangchuan's head.

Unexpectedly, Tian Wangchuan showed no intention of dodging, seemingly betting that Fang Yue wouldn't dare to kill him, his lips moving rapidly.

"I know where An Dong'er is!"

With a slight frown, Fang Yue indeed changed the direction of the fatal strike aimed at his chest, mid-way.

Clang!

Because after him, Fang Yue had to deal with the oncoming [Nuo Mian Gui]!

Tian Wangchuan didn't know which of the two was stronger, but to him, they were both monster-level.

As long as the two fought, he would have a chance to escape and survive!

However, the next moment, the smile that had just bloomed on Tian Wangchuan's face suddenly froze.

Because he saw... Fang Yue did attack [Nuo Mian Gui], but [Nuo Mian Gui] dodged and passed right by Fang Yue, not even glancing at him, charging straight toward him.

How could this be?!

Tian Wangchuan's eyes widened.

When he fought [Nuo Mian Gui] before, [Nuo Mian Gui] showed no mercy to the people around him, eating and killing as it pleased.

How could it suddenly become timid when it came to Fang Yue??

As if fixated on him, it had to kill him first before even considering attacking anyone else.

"This guy!"

Tian Wangchuan's face was ashen, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

He was already badly wounded after fighting Fang Yue.

He had barely managed to withstand the injuries and exchanged two more blows with Fang Yue, reaching his limit.

Now, not to mention the cross-shaped wound on his chest, his right leg was broken, leaving him unable to fight!

Faced with the charging [Nuo Mian Gui], Tian Wangchuan trembled with fear.

Death was always fair. Even someone as strong as Tian Wangchuan was no different from ordinary people in the face of death.

As the feeling of fear surged into his heart, he suddenly realized how lovable Fang Yue, who could communicate normally, was compared to [Nuo Mian Gui].

After all, Fang Yue wouldn't easily kill him before getting the information he wanted, but ghouls didn't operate that way!

"Ye Se Liming (Night Twilight), save me! If you save me, I'll tell you everything about the Phoenix Organization!"

In the face of life and death, integrity didn't matter. Survival was the most important thing!

Almost as soon as Tian Wangchuan finished speaking, Fang Yue's figure suddenly erupted with speed.

As if merging into the darkness, he transformed into a black shadow and moved rapidly.

That explosive speed was something he had never displayed in the previous battles.

With that speed, Fang Yue unexpectedly arrived before [Nuo Mian Gui], grabbing Tian Wangchuan and rushing forward.

"Tell me the information, or I'll let go of you immediately!"

Looking at [Nuo Mian Gui] chasing after them, Tian Wangchuan nodded with a troubled expression.

"The person in charge of the Phoenix Organization in Chu Nuan City is the head of the Twelve Zodiacs, the Ox..."

Tian Wangchuan slowed down his speech, carefully revealing information. But as soon as he revealed the location of the Phoenix Organization's base, he said, "You must ensure my safety before I tell you the rest of the information!"

Fang Yue glanced at him. "Okay."

"Then go down and kill [Nuo Mian Gui], and then we'll discuss this issue."

"Okay."

Tian Wangchuan's face lit up with joy. Once the two started fighting, he would immediately escape without hesitation.

However, the next moment...

Fang Yue suddenly stopped. Before Tian Wangchuan could react, the ice blade pierced through his heart, adding a fatal penetrating wound to the transparent cross-shaped wound.

Tian Wangchuan's eyes widened as he stared blankly at the ice blade in his chest, then slowly raised his head, looking at Fang Yue in disbelief.

He couldn't understand why Fang Yue would attack him. He had only revealed a little information, and he still held key information...

"Because, I'm still short on [Ghoul Realm] progress."

In the final moments of his life, Tian Wangchuan heard incomprehensible words.

'Thump', the corpse fell on the frosty ground, while [Nuo Mian Gui] was rapidly approaching.

Fang Yue glanced at the system notification.
