Chapter 57 Zhi Gui

The raging flames instantly engulfed Gui Zhi.

"Aaaaaah!"

It screamed miserably. This attack was far more intense than before, and… it struck the core!

-9206!

Nine seconds. The black mass of Yangxu Gui army rushed towards him.

-9741!

Five seconds. The Yangxu Gui army completely surrounded the bonfire battlefield.

-9552!

Three seconds. The Yangxu Gui army was almost upon Fang Yue.

-11128!

-10092!

-10328!

-10007!

Fang Yue swung his blade, frantically.

To say he killed Gui Zhi in one strike, the number of times Fang Yue swung his blade was actually countless.

This wasn't one strike at all; it was clearly countless strikes.

It was just that Fang Yue's strength, enhanced by the Fierce Yuan Pill, had soared, and the damage was skyrocketing.

"Meh meh meh!"

"Meh meh meh!"

The sounds of "meh meh meh" were endless, the surroundings a dense, black mass, blocking out everything.

Gui Zhi tried several times to retreat into the cover of the Yangxu Gui army, but Fang Yue forcibly intercepted it.

Faced with Fang Yue's attacks, it immediately thrust out black sheep hooves from its body to counterattack and block.

However, Fang Yue's strength was superior!

He directly suppressed all its resistance!

Fang Yue's eyes, as black as ink, seemed like the eyes of a netherworld emissary, causing the panicked Gui Zhi to momentarily lose focus.

-38228!

It was in this instant of vulnerability that Fang Yue unleashed a critical hit with his final strike!

The blade severed flesh, and the fire burned the soul!

The power of the single strike directly split Gui Zhi's body in two and incinerated it to ashes with flames!

Amidst Gui Zhi's wails, Fang Yue heard the system notification.

"System Notification: Congratulations to player [Ye Se Li Ming] for killing the aberrant [Yangxu Gui Zhi]. Reward: Control +10, Force Dissipation +50, Lifespan +1 month."

The time had just reached the last second predicted by the sheepskin scroll.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

And in the next second, endless Yangxu Gui roared and drowned Fang Yue in a sea of Yangxu Gui!

At the same time, the last of the Fierce Yuan Pill's medicinal effects was rapidly fading.

Although Gui Zhi was killed, the Yangxu Gui swarm did not retreat as Ni Dongmei had said!

That! Woman!

The rage in Fang Yue's heart surged.

He didn't understand the aberrant, so he believed Ni Dongmei's words.

But now it seemed he had been deceived by that woman!

Gui Zhi was dead, but the Yangxu Gui army not only didn't retreat or become leaderless, but instead went berserk, attacking Fang Yue like madmen.

"Meh!"

"Meh!"

"Meh meh!"

"Meh meh!"

The sounds of "meh" were endless, and all around were black masses of Yangxu Gui.

Fang Yue's body was tossed around like a ball, and the damage values above his head jumped wildly.

-11!

-25!

-26!

-12!

-39!

-12!

The attribute bonuses he had just obtained allowed Fang Yue to briefly withstand the attacks of the Yangxu Gui army.

But this was based on the strong medicinal effects of the Fierce Yuan Pill.

Fang Yue frantically ignited flames, wielding the Cold Moon Blade, and frantically slashing at the Yangxu Gui.

But in the face of endless numbers, Fang Yue's attacks were like a drop in the ocean. After killing only a dozen Yangxu Gui, he could only passively defend.

The self-immolating flames became weaker and weaker, and the medicinal effects of the Fierce Yuan Pill gradually faded.

"System Notification: Fierce Yuan Pill duration has ended. Entering the side effect phase."

"System Notification: You have entered the [Physical Weakness: Five Organs Damaged] state."

"System Notification: You have entered the [Physical Weakness: Brain Damage] state."

"System Notification: You have entered the [Meridian Damage: Chong Meridian] state."

"System Notification: You have entered the [Meridian Damage: Dai Meridian] state."

"System Notification: You have entered the [Meridian Damage: Du Meridian] state."

"System Notification: You have entered..."

Fang Yue felt the strength leaving his body rapidly, barely maintaining even with the help of Night Breathing.

In normal times, that little bit of recovered strength would have been enough for Fang Yue to protect himself.

But surrounded by the vast Yangxu Gui army, having so little stamina that he could barely swing his sword was almost the same as waiting for death!

-57!

-75!

-91!

-152!

-101!

-205!

-106!

-159!

The damage values from the Yangxu Gui army, which had originally fluctuated in the double digits, now plummeted Fang Yue's health, filled with various negative buffs, at an alarming rate.

If it weren't for Night Breathing's consistently amazing performance, Fang Yue would have been done for long ago.

But even so, with the increase in damage values, the occasional critical hit almost scared Fang Yue into a heart attack. He frantically poured those blood-restoring medicines into his mouth, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

At the same time, among the vast number of negative statuses, Pill Poison was instantly pushed to the first row and first column, making the corners of Fang Yue's mouth twitch.

Damn it, I don't even dare to look at how much lifespan is left, don't let it be used up...

But compared to lifespan, the desperate situation before him was the most terrifying.

Before, Fang Yue could withstand Gui Zhi's sudden attacks of hundreds of sheep hooves.

First, he relied on Night Breathing's healing ability.

Second, he relied on the amplification forcibly raised by the Fierce Yuan Pill. Although it wasn't reflected in stats like Control, the vast internal energy covering his body brought about real improvements in attack and defense, so he could survive those attacks.

If he hadn't taken the Fierce Yuan Pill, let alone several Bai Yangxu Gui attacking at the same time, Fang Yue wouldn't have been able to withstand even dozens of Yangxu Gui attacking together.

Now that he had killed Gui Zhi and the attribute bonuses had arrived, the negative status of the Fierce Yuan Pill had also caused his attributes to drop to a very low level.

Danger, the current situation is very dangerous!

Beaten to the ground by the endless Yangxu Gui, Fang Yue tried his best to protect his vital areas to avoid further critical damage. As for the Cold Moon Blade, he threw it to the ground beside him.

Watching his health fluctuate wildly, like a roller coaster, and begin to plummet toward the 100 health mark, Fang Yue's heart was in his throat.

Fang Yue's series of actions and mental activity seemed complicated, but in reality, all of this happened only about ten seconds after Gui Zhi's death!

In ten seconds, Fang Yue was about to be beaten to death by the Yangxu Gui army!

The number was too dense, and the damage was too exaggerated.

Even if Fang Yue was at his peak, he would only retreat in the face of such a large number of Yangxu Gui, and there was no possibility of fighting head-on.

As predicted before, the biggest difficulty in killing the Yangxu Gui's Gui Zhi was the Yangxu Gui army, not how strong Gui Zhi was!

And the reward for killing it was only mediocre, really a thankless task!

If he had known that Gui Zhi's target was the Wu Yu tribe, not himself, Fang Yue wouldn't have gone out!

But if he didn't go out, Gui Zhi would have lost its leads and would still have camped outside Ink Village waiting for Fang Yue.

"Sheepskin scroll!!"
