The battle raged from midnight until dawn. Xu Feng fell, Xu Lian fell, and Ning Yanlan also fell.
The only one who fought to the death was Jiang Yuan!
"call!"
As the final punch landed, the entire arena fell into a deathly silence.
The morning breeze carried a strong stench of blood, and the once dry ground had become muddy, its color changing from pale yellow to dark yellow.
Jiang Yuan leaned against the lifeless monster beside him, the mechanical voice of the Heavenly Eye echoing in his mind.
"Host has broken through the limit; power has increased!"
"Bloodlust level is decreasing, blood can repair the body, and strength is beginning to decline!"
Jiang Yuan couldn't pay attention to those sounds anymore; he was so sleepy that he couldn't think of anything else but wanting to sleep.
"Jiang Yuan!" Ning Yanlan walked over slowly.
Jiang Yuan looked up and saw Ning Yanlan smiling. The two of them just stood there, grinning at each other amidst the pile of corpses.
Ning Yanlan moved to Jiang Yuan's side, then sat down next to the monster just like him. She took Jiang Yuan's hand and said, "It's alright now!"
"You don't need to treat me anymore!" Jiang Yuan withdrew his hand and said in a low voice, "You're already in this state, yet you still pity me!"
Ning Yanlan wanted to use the Light of Nature, but she was exhausted of spiritual energy and had to risk her life to do it!
"Stop being so vain, I just wanted to check your injuries!" Ning Yanlan's eyes darted around slightly before she added, "Is your hand alright?"
"Something really is wrong!" Jiang Yuan said with a wry smile. "Why don't you go and pick up the core and the Holy Spirit Stone for me?"
His hands were a bloody mess; without a knife, he relied entirely on his hands to fight, his pale finger bones exposed. Not only his hands, but he had injuries of varying degrees all over his body. He hadn't noticed them when he was in a bloodthirsty state, but now that the bloodlust had subsided, the aftereffects were starting to show.
Fortunately, he had cultivated the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique; otherwise, with this injury, he would have had to go directly to meet his ancestors.
"Thank you!" Xu Feng also walked over at this moment, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Jiang Yuan.
If it weren't for Jiang Yuan that night, they would all have perished here. This debt of gratitude is immense.
"Just remember to give us 80% of the spoils!" Jiang Yuan wasn't embarrassed at all; he had to say what needed to be said.
They're already doing very well to get 20%. He killed half of the monsters here, and with his bizarre drop rate, giving them 10% isn't unreasonable.
Xu Feng simply nodded, but then Xu Lian walked over without saying a word. Jiang Yuan thought Xu Lian had something to say, but when he saw the wood-chopping knife in Xu Lian's hand, he felt a sense of crisis.
"Get out of the way!"
Jiang Yuan saw a flash of light on the wood-chopping knife and shouted angrily. Ning Yanlan, trusting Jiang Yuan unconditionally, rolled away to the side.
The machete landed where Ning Yanlan had been leaning; yes, it was Xu Lian who had chopped it.
"You guys!" Jiang Yuan never expected such a turn of events; the other party had actually betrayed him.
"Xiao Lian, what are you doing!" Xu Feng was also shocked. Even he didn't expect Xu Lian to want to kill him.
Ignoring everything else, Xu Lian grabbed a wood-chopping knife and slashed at Ning Yanlan's neck.
"Spirit Shield!"
Ning Yanlan had just dodged an attack and no longer had the strength to dodge. She could only raise her shield, but the shield was very dim and faintly visible.
"Die!" Xu Lian uttered only one word before furiously slashing down.
The shield of light failed to stop it. The swift cleaver was about to sever Ning Yanlan's neck when Jiang Yuan charged forward and shoved Xu Lian aside with his body.
"You have actually betrayed us!" Jiang Yuan's trembling hand gripped Xu Lian tightly as he glared at her and said angrily, "I even gave you my bloodline, and you still come to kill us!"
Xu Lian remained silent, her blank gaze fixed on Ning Yanlan. The power within her surged forth, and Xu Lian, who had been rested and ready, was simply no match for Jiang Yuan, who had been fighting all night.
"Xiao Lian, what are you doing!" Xu Feng also came up to stop her.
But Xu Lian swept his machete horizontally, and if Xu Feng hadn't dodged quickly, he would probably have been decapitated by now.
Xu Feng and Jiang Yuan were the most seriously injured of the four, and naturally could not withstand Xu Lian's exertion of more than ten points of strength.
However, when Xu Feng fell to the ground, Xu Lian's expression showed a trace of pain, but her killing intent was still directed at Ning Yanlan.
"Xiao Lian, do you really want to kill me?" Ning Yanlan lay on the ground and kept backing away. An ice ball had already emerged in her palm, but there was a trace of blood mixed in with the ice ball. It was a killing move that she had condensed with her blood and sweat.
Xu Lian's expression was contorted, but she still raised the knife.
Jiang Yuan had already sensed something was wrong; Xu Lian was behaving too strangely. "Heavenly Eye!"
"Human, second-tier strength type (possessed), physical strength: seven, spiritual strength: four."
"This isn't Xu Lian!" Jiang Yuan realized that Xu Lian didn't have any spiritual power, and he detected that she was possessed. "Xu Lian has been possessed by the Holy Spirit in the Holy Spirit Fortress!"
"Jiang Yuan!" Ning Yanlan heard it too. Her eyes were filled with fear, but the ice ball in her hand did not reassemble.
Jiang Yuan's face darkened, and he shouted at Xu Feng, "Xu Feng, you deal with Xu Lian. If you can't control her, then we'll have no choice but to kill her!"
Xu Feng fell silent. He had seen what had just happened; in this state, Xu Lian was completely ruthless and unrecognizable to anyone, not even her own family.
"Xu Lian is innocent, but Yan Lan is innocent too!" Jiang Yuan said, then rushed into the house. "I'll deal with the Holy Spirit Fortress, you deal with Xu Lian!"
"Ah!" Xu Feng gritted his teeth and activated his talent to charge at Xu Lian.
Although his talent was shield, his shield bash was still incredibly powerful. With a bang, Xu Lian was already knocked three meters away. "Sister Yanlan, I apologize to you on Xu Lian's behalf!"
