Fang Yue frowned. Right before he could speak a word, a blurry figure appeared from further away and was approaching rapidly.
Shocked, Fang Yue bellowed, “It’s here! Let’s go!”
The Human Soul Fire Torch worked as a repellent to Wickeds, but in this situation, the torch made the bearer an easy target.
If Niu Niu had a death wish, Fang Yue would not stop him.
While Niu Niu was still shocked by the sudden appearance of the blurry figure, Fang Yue helped the guy on his knees up and carried him over his shoulder.
The other guy who had gone offline had given up hope himself, so Fang Yue had to leave him behind.
“Come on!”
Fang Yue sprinted swiftly despite having someone on his shoulder. He headed to the Chen residence without pause, leaving an astonished Niu Niu behind.
‘That’s superhuman strength…’
Niu Niu snapped out of his shock and lit the torch with his Lifespan before running after Fang Yue.
Swoosh!
Although the wind whirred in Niu Niu’s ears, he could hear the Wicked’s footsteps as well and it was quickly closing in.
As chills ran down his spine, Niu Niu could not help but turn around for a quick glance.
A group of figures appeared at the spot where they had stood before. One of the figures got closer to the players who went offline and put its hands on the player’s head.
Crack!
The player’s head was ripped off like an unearthed cabbage.
It was at that moment that the figure slowly turned to Niu Niu after sensing his glance.
Despite being in the dark, Niu Niu had a feeling that he was locking eyes with something. His heart skipped a beat.
The particular figure slightly lowered its body and jumped forward by a dozen meters!
“F**k!”
Terrified, Niu Niu turned back around and ran for his life. However, before he could run any further, a head swooshed by his left.
Niu Niu noticed that it was the head of the player who had gone offline. The neck was ripped off from the body unevenly, similar to Brother Yong’s.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Niu Niu panted heavily as the footsteps approached him rapidly. It sounded like the figure could cross a huge distance with a single step while Niu Niu had to run like the wind.
Before he knew it, he was already sweating nervously.
When the footsteps got close enough, Niu Niu suddenly turned around and raised the torch up with his left hand while throwing a right jab at the blurry figure.
He shouted, “COME GET IT!”
Time slowed down at that particular moment.
When Niu Niu furiously turned around, he saw a woman dressed as a maid, but her eyes were bleeding black blood.
Just inches away from him, her pale white hand was already in front of his chest. The palm should have hit Niu Niu’s back, but because he turned around, it was about to strike his chest instead.
However, Niu Niu managed to punch the maid’s head before she could touch him.
Bang!
The punch felt heavy, but the maid took the blow head-on, and a small number popped up above her head.
[-3]
“What?! My punch only deals 3 damage to the Wicked?!”
In the midst of Niu Niu’s astoundment, the maid’s palm landed on his chest firmly and pushed him away.
Swoosh!
Niu Niu’s heart was pushed out of his chest forcefully, leaving a hole that shaped like a palm on his chest.
“Sh*t!”
Niu Niu was utterly terrorized. Devastated, he swiftly retreated while he could. However, the anticipated huge damage did not appear. He saw a small number instead.
[-1]
“-1?! I’m equally matched? And I can’t feel pain!”
The moment of awe delighted Niu Niu, and he was overjoyed.
“There’s nothing scary about the Wicked! It blasted my heart out of my body, but I only received 1 damage! Oh, right, I’m a player. This body is just a compilation of data, so not having a heart is not a big deal!”
Even though he had no idea how he could relate himself to the concept of a digitized body, Niu Niu was ecstatic. His emotions went through a roller coaster ride.
He suppressed his fear as his battle intent rose.Then, he shouted loudly and threw another jab at the maid’s head, “Eat my superstrength punch!”
The maid stood on the spot quietly and waited for Niu Niu’s punch.
Right before the punch could touch her, her right hand blurred out for a fraction of a second.
Pak!
Before Niu Niu could react, his right cheek caved in and he was sent flying backward by a terrifying force. The torch fell from his hand.
He felt like he had been knocked by a speeding train. He zoomed across the air and tumbled a few rounds on the ground before stopping.
His head and body were in a mess and blood spurted out of his mouth violently.
A terrifying number appeared above his head.
[-88]
[You are Severely Injured]
“What the f*ck? 88 damage from a single slap?”
Niu Niu was stupefied. He remained blank on the ground and did not get up instantly.
“It shouldn’t be like this. I only lost 1 HP just now…Is this the Wicked’s true power?”
Niu Niu looked up blankly.
The maid bent over for a second and appeared before him in a swoosh.
“This is the end. My life is over!”
Niu Niu was crushed. The maid put her left hand on his left shoulder and grabbed his right arm with her right hand.
Then, she yanked.
Whoosh!
Niu Niu’s right hand was ripped off like what happened to Brother Yong’s body.
“F**k! So, this is how Brother Yong died? I don’t want to go in such a terrible way!”
Terrified, he considered going offline.
It was then that the edge of his eyesight noticed a sudden light rising behind the maid.
Whoosh!
The moment the light from the fire rose, the maid’s body paused for a moment. The light got closer rapidly during the tiny window, and someone appeared behind her.
“Brother Night!”
Niu Niu’s excitement gave him goosebumps, and while he screamed excitedly, Fang Yue’s punch had already landed at the back of the maid’s head.
“No! Don’t go for the head!” Niu Niu screamed disappointedly as the tiny glimmer of hope in his heart faded right away.
He had hit the maid in the head and only managed to deal 3 damage to it. It was obviously not her weak spot.
Nevertheless, before the thought in his mind could even fade…
Bang!
A loud explosion later, the maid’s head was punched down, and it plunged deep into the ground.
While the ground cracked upon impact, a huge damage number appeared.
[-99]
“How much?!” Niu Niu’s eyes were as wide as golf balls.
“What the f*ck!? I hit the Wicked in the same place with the same punch, but Brother NIght inflicted 99 damage and I only did 3 damage?! What’s with the gap in strength?! It’s ridiculous!”
Whilst Niu Niu was still in awe, Fang Yue continued his attack. He jumped onto the maid’s body and launched a barrage of punches at her head.
The shower of punches was quick and continuous, so the maid did not even have the window to breathe.
“Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda!”[1]
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!
[-35]
[-71]
[-83]
[-33]
[-37]
Continuous numbers appeared above the maid’s head with no signs of stopping.
At that very moment, Niu Niu deemed Fang Yue a battle maniac, a powerful and furious battle maniac.
He was totally different from his calm and steady bearing from before.
“It seems like this is Brother Night’s true nature!”
“He’s so wild!”
“I love it!”
