"It's Captain Fang!"
"Captain Fang, you've finally appeared!"
Upon seeing Fang Xiu, everyone immediately began kowtowing without saying a word.
Fang Xiu raised an eyebrow at the sight. He hadn't expected that these people would change their minds so quickly in just a few days.
This is actually the norm in burial grounds. The people here don't have any contact with the outside world every day. They do everything they can to survive. So-called dignity and face are the least valuable things in burial grounds.
In particular, they discovered that by following a powerful figure like Fang Xiu, they could seemingly escape the burial ground quickly, and with the Taotie harvesting the strange creatures, earning a hundred million underworld coins would be a piece of cake.
"Captain Fang, we are willing to submit and apologize, as long as you don't kill us!"
“That’s right, Captain Fang. We are useful. We fourth and fifth tiers can all become your helpers and be at your disposal.”
Looking at the fawning crowd, Fang Xiu couldn't help but recall their arrogant demeanor back then, a stark contrast to their former selves.
He knew these people very well; they were talking about submission now, but if given the chance, they would definitely betray him.
However, he never intended to take these people in. What were fifth-tier experts? Could they compare to the Taotie army?
He silently calculated: seven fourth-tier and three fifth-tier creatures—what excellent food! Once he devoured them, he would definitely be able to break through to the fourth tier.
But he doesn’t intend to devour everyone now, because he has another guess that needs to be verified.
Suddenly, the black fire wings behind him flapped violently, flames rose all over his body, and he leaped off the Taotie and flew into White Stone Town, standing calmly in front of everyone.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately lowered their heads, their attitude filled with fear.
Before they could even speak, Fang Xiu's words stunned everyone.
“The Taotie cannot enter White Stone Town during the day, so now is the best time for you to kill me.”
These words immediately evoked various thoughts among the crowd.
Fang Xiu continued to drop a bombshell: "Moreover, there are no strange occurrences in White Stone Town during the day, which means I cannot maintain my immortality by devouring strange occurrences."
Lu Ziming and the others immediately became unnatural.
But still no one dared to make a move; they remained kneeling on the ground.
Nobody's a fool. Anyone who's survived so many years in a burial ground must be a smart person, and the smarter they are, the more they'll think.
In their view, how could Fang Xiu possibly expose all his weaknesses?
In fact, they had realized this problem long ago and had planned that if Fang Xiu did not agree to their pleas for mercy, they would lure him into Baishi Town and then attack him together.
Before he could even reveal his true intentions, Fang Xiu directly exposed his weakness, causing everyone to hesitate and dare not act rashly.
"I gave you a chance, but you were useless." Fang Xiu shook his head slightly in disappointment, then kicked Lu Ziming in the head, sending him flying.
Lu Ziming's face was covered in blood and foam, and he was in excruciating pain, but he still dared not resist in the slightest. He quickly got up from the ground and knelt down.
This kick completely stunned everyone who had harbored their own schemes.
They guessed that Fang Xiu must have some trump cards up his sleeve, otherwise he wouldn't be so arrogant, not only venturing into the lion's den but also daring to injure people.
In fact, Fang Xiu was telling the truth from beginning to end. The Taotie could not get in, and he had no strange creatures to devour. This was the best time to kill him.
The main focus is sincerity.
It's just a pity that no one dared to make a move.
Lu Ziming forced a smile, revealing his teeth covered in blood and foam: "Captain Fang, I truly submit. I admit I was wrong before, but this world is all about the victor and the vanquished. I used to think you were weak, so I tried to take advantage of you to bully you."
But as it turns out, I'm nothing in front of you. I want to live, so I'm willing to pay any price just to beg you to spare my life.
I'm sure someone as intelligent as you understands that the value of a living fifth-tier expert is definitely higher than that of a dead one.
Bang!
Lu Ziming was kicked away again, losing two of his teeth in the process.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Fang Xiu's calm voice rang out.
"I wouldn't dare!"
Lu Ziming got up from the ground again, knelt down, and kept his head down, afraid that Fang Xiu would see the uncontrollable expression on his face.
Fang Xiu calmly observed the crowd and said indifferently, "Five million per person, and they can live."
"Five million!?" A fourth-tier cultivator exclaimed in shock, "That's too...too much."
Whoosh!
Black flames erupted from Fang Xiu's body, and he vanished instantly.
The next moment, a ball of black flame suddenly burst into flames beside the fourth-tier spirit master, and Fang Xiu's figure emerged from the flames.
A streak of silver light sliced through the air and pierced the hand of the fourth-tier Spirit Master.
The fourth-tier spirit master initially wanted to resist, but seeing that the scalpel was about to strike his own arm, he gritted his teeth and ultimately chose to give up.
Since it's not fatal, let him be. If he resists, he might face even harsher punishment.
However, the moment the scalpel fell...
"ah!!!"
A piercing scream echoed throughout the venue, a sound that seemed to tear vocal cords apart, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, the fourth-tier Spirit Master convulsed uncontrollably, his veins bulging, his eyes nearly bursting open, before finally dying in extreme agony.
In that brief moment, he experienced unimaginable suffering.
Seeing his contorted death, everyone was even more terrified. No one expected that Fang Xiu could kill a fourth-level opponent with a single blow.
What seemed shocking was actually only known to Fang Xiu himself. A fourth-tier opponent was not so easy to kill. Once the opponent unleashed their domain, it would be difficult to get close.
The same applies to the fifth tier; once the Light of the Mind is unleashed, the scalpel is utterly unable to penetrate its defenses.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have to rely on summoning his wife and the evil god to fight all day long.
The main reason is that my current strength is too weak to fully utilize the advantages of the power of pain, so I have to settle for second best and choose to rely on my wife and the God of Terror.
After killing the fourth-tier Spirit Master, Fang Xiu devoured all of the opponent's spirituality.
The way everyone looked at Fang Xiu changed; it was the look of someone looking at a monster—fear, terror, and trembling.
They never expected that Fang Xiu would be even more bizarre than the bizarre!
Lu Ziming was even cursing inwardly.
How does this headquarters select its personnel? Can't they even tell if their own captain is human or a monster?
"Captain Fang, this is six million ghost money, my entire fortune. Please take a look!" Tong Yang hurriedly held up the ghost money, and even took out an extra million to please Fang Xiu.
