Niu Niu finally realized that his idea of challenging Fang Yue was ridiculous. The gap in strength between the two of them was tremendous!
While Fang Yue punched the maid ceaselessly, Niu Niu got to his feet. He grabbed his fallen right arm and retreated, attempting to draw distance from the conflict.
However, before he could effectively retreat, Fang Yue’s furious punches paused for a moment.
[-15]
“Is Brother Night hurt?!”
Niu Niu looked closer and realized that the little pause was because Fang Yue performed a block with his arms to obstruct an attack, hence the damage number.
Then, Niu Niu saw a menacing grin on Fang Yue’s face.
“That’s it?” Fang Yue taunted.
The barrage of punches continued.
[-51]
[-78]
[-99]
[-42]
Fang Yue punched faster and stronger this round. He wanted to kill the Wicked quickly.
However, the Wicked was surprisingly strong. Amidst being showered with furious punches, the Wicked suddenly widened her mouth. The edge of her mouth widened to both her earlobes and disfigured her face to the point that she no longer resembled a human being.
She shrieked sharply and loudly all of a sudden. Fang Yue was stunned for a moment because she was right in front of him, so the close-range shriek made his punches pause once more.
It was during that particular window that the maid launched a sudden palm strike towards Fang Yue’s chest.
Shocked, he pulled his right arm back and managed to block the strike from reaching his chest.
Thud!
The block was successful, but Fang Yue did not feel the anticipated force. Instead, he heard a strange thud and had a strange feeling.
His arm suddenly felt as soft as a gummy bear. The maid then changed the gesture of her palm and pushed his arm with all five of her fingers.
Splat!
A square hole opened up in the middle of Fang Yue’s right forearm. The meat and bone from that square hole were frozen and had been shoved out from his arm.
[-1]
The hole in his right arm affected his bones and muscles, which further affected his strength. Henceforth, he could no longer overpower the maid under him.
Fang Yue was shocked when he thought about the Wicked’s technique. Swiftly, he bolted up and retreated.
As he retreated, he took a moment to pick up that tiny piece of his meat and bone and held it tightly.
When he retreated to a safe distance, Fang Yue stared at the Wicked maid in a cautious manner.
Niu Niu picked up the Human Soul Fire Torch that he had left behind earlier. He lit it up, shed light over the area, and shouted a warning at Fang Yue, “Be careful, Brother Night! My heart was pushed out by that technique earlier!”
It might have been embarrassing, but he had to warn Fang Yue, or else this would be the end of the two of them. They simply could not afford to be careless against a Wicked.
“Your heart?” Fang Yue was astonished.
He already knew that the Wicked’s power was unusual, but when he heard Niu Niu, he realized that he might be looking at a terrifying power.
The Wicked maid no longer had the face of a human. It had been heavily disfigured by Fang Yue’s punches. The blows disfigured not just her face but also crushed or shifted her skull altogether.
However, she was still alive!
She stared at Fang Yue begrudgingly. She then lowered her body and dashed towards Fang Yue like an arrow let loose.
In the midst of her dash, she put both her hands up and pushed forward with her palms.
She was trying to use the same technique from earlier, the technique that could turn part of the victim’s body soft and push it out of the body.
Fang Yue would not try to block her palm strikes with his body anymore.
“Don’t touch me!”
Swoosh!
Fang Yue pulled out his saber!
Rusty saber with +1 Sharpness!
He channeled his internal energy into the rusty saber.
“Starfire Cultivation Method!”
Control +5! Block +5! Increased the power of [Starfire Saber Technique]!
Sparks ignited in the dark and circulated the blade.
Bzzzt!
At the next moment, the sparks converged into an ember and ignited the blade whole.
The blinding fire stunned the Wicked maid for a moment.
Fang Yue seized the moment and lunged forward.
The fire grew stronger as it engulfed the entire saber. The rusty saber instantly turned into a blazing saber.
Control +10! Increased damage against a Wicked!
“Starfire Saber Technique!”
Without pause, Fang Yue raised the blazing saber up and swung it down at the Wicked’s head.
The blazing saber drew a fiery arc in the air as it was swung down.
Fang Yue did not feel any resistance to the slash. It felt as smooth as butter.
Together with the blazing fire, the rusty sword severed the Wicked maid diagonally from her left shoulder all the way to her stomach.
The damage numbers popped up relentlessly above her head as the blazing saber slashed downward.
[-289]
[-301]
[-351]
[-495]
[-600]
“DIE!”
“Brother Night, you are awesome!”
“Aaaaaaaaargh!”
Two players and the Wicked practically shouted in unison.
Fang Yue believed that his slash could cut the Wicked maid in half if only he could exert more strength…
Crack!
Amidst his excitement, a clear and sudden clunk sounded. It was like an inspiring BGM was cut halfway, feeling abrupt and uncomfortable.
Then, the blazing fire on the saber faded.
The damage numbers above the Wicked maid also stopped.
Everything fell into a strange silence.
Niu Niu stopped rooting for Fang Yue while the Wicked maid stopped screaming.
Fang Yue went silent.
It suddenly felt awkward for everyone. Fang Yue looked at the Wicked maid and then at the saber in his hand.
He slowly pulled it out from her body. The rusty saber had broken in half, so he was holding the lower part with the hilt.
The saber just broke!
“What the f*ck?!”
Fang Yue’s mind went blank. He could not believe what just happened.
‘Lin Ling, you piece of sh*t! You really did it this time! What nonsense is this? Chen Mu’s old saber? It’s totally bullsh*t!’ Fang Yue grumbled fiercely in his heart.
The Wicked maid swiftly reacted to the silence and wanted to bite Fang Yue.
“Oh no, you don’t!”
Fang Yue raised his leg and kicked the Wicked maid away.
[-200]!
“Wait, my kick deals this much damage?”
Fang Yue had a glance at the Wicked maid who landed more than a meter away.
She struggled for a moment and failed to get up, seeming to have fallen into a weakened state.
Fang Yue knew that the Wicked maid was just a step away from dying! He had to seize the moment to take the Wicked’s life!
He dashed forward, terrifying the Wicked maid as she screamed in panic. Her arms and legs were struggling to get up while she wriggled backward like a limbless animal and tried to retreat. The direction that she was retreating in had a beating heart.
“Brother Night! That’s my heart! She’s trying to kill me!”
Right before the Wicked maid could grab the heart, she heard a swoosh as the broken saber was stabbed into her palm, pinning her down.
[-333]
The Wicked maid screamed in pain. She tried to grab the heart with her other hand, but Fang Yue stomped it into the ground.
[-244]
He then pulled the broken saber out.
[-22]
Fang Yue stabbed the Wicked maid’s body furiously a dozen times.
[-211]
[-233]
[-255]
[-216]
[-212]
When Fang Yue stabbed the Wicked maid in the heart…
[-1,111]
The Wicked maid’s body froze and stopped moving. Black blood oozed out from her body.
