Chapter 23
[Baobao, don't move, don't be impulsive!]
Even Bao Fu sensed the dangerous atmosphere emanating from the thatched house, and An Rou could only try her best to comfort him.
Of course, she understood what "raising Gu" meant, feeding the player's soul to the ghoul to increase the ghoul's level.
Chizen Ichimura's intention was clearly to raise Liu Qingsong's level, thereby increasing the overall mission level. He could then kill the ghoul and earn more mission rewards.
An Rou did this not only to gain the power of the ghouls to protect herself, but also to build the farm. Ultimately, it was all about money.
There is no essential difference between it and the one before the ruler.
She accepted it calmly and quickly, but from the player's perspective, she was terrified.
The two vagrants screamed desperately, wishing they could log off and escape for a while. However, the game design required players to log off by manipulating the game panel and confirming their choice on the screen. With their tendons severed, they were powerless.
A wanderer suddenly remembered a method of death that had been passed down through the ages. He resolved to bite off his tongue. In excruciating pain, his tongue severed, and he nearly choked to death on the gushing blood.
Chiqian Yiming kicked him once, and he came back to life, but he felt an extra layer of pain.
Damn it, who said biting your tongue can commit suicide!
On the other side, Liu Qingsong, who had also lost his tongue, stared at Chiqian Yiming with a murderous look.
In the face of such overwhelming strength, no matter how much he longed for the other's soul, it was just wishful thinking. Furthermore, at this moment, his limbs were all broken, leaving him like a living pig.
Liu Qingsong had no choice but to bite Ye Ke's neck.
After all, it was the soul of a destined person. Before it met Chizen Ichimura, it was also fragrant.
After struggling desperately, the wild guest calmed down, his mouth open, his eyes empty. A moment later, he silently exploded into a ball of light.
Liu Qingsong licked his bloodstained teeth and looked at Chiqian Yiming with a sinister smile: "Next."
In such a short period of time, his tongue actually grew back and his limbs recovered visibly.
Chiqian Yiming didn't care and kicked the other wild guest with blood on his face to him. At the same time, his indifferent eyes fell on Qin Wudi.
Qin Wudi's hands finally began to tremble.
The soft punishment knife magnified his fear, and the water reflected like waves on the bloodstained wall.
Next, it's his turn.
The soul was devoured by the ghoul, and he was completely offline and lost the qualification to play the game.
It's just a game. He couldn't help but think, it's just a game, dying here won't affect reality.
No, it would. Soul-calling songs were his way of making money, his livelihood. The money he earned from soul-calling songs was countless times more than what he could earn from any other job!
The conflicting voices made him panic about facing death.
Qin Wudi took a step back, but a clear, emotionless gaze in front of him froze his steps.
At that moment, he suddenly discovered that there was an eye hidden in the gap between the back door and the wall. The other party also realized it and suddenly moved away. A few seconds later, half of An Rou's face peeked out from behind the door.
It’s that NPC!
No, not that NPC. To be precise, she is not an NPC at all!
Cowardice and fear disappeared from her face, and dark emotions settled in her black and white eyes.
——Murderous intent.
In a flash, Qin Wudi seemed to have figured everything out.
A farm far away from town, in the middle of nowhere.
A young woman who lives alone and has no male children.
Liu Qingsong inexplicably turned into a ghoul. Before he formed a temporary team, Liu Qingsong was clearly still a player! No matter how good a ghoul is at disguise, he can't create a game panel and join a game team!
It must be her, she is the one who did all this!
She is not an NPC at all. In all likelihood, she is a player in disguise - no, there is no such thing as favorability between players. How can she control the system notifications?
Is it some hidden game bug?
The situation was urgent, and Qin Wudi couldn't figure out what was going on. He saw An Rou gently shake her head at him, then looked at Chi Qian Yiming, who had his back to the back door.
She also wants to kill Chiqian Yiming?
Qin Wudi's eyelids twitched.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
But even if they formed an alliance, how could they kill Chi Qian Yi Ming?
I was only at the Beginning Gold Level. While I wouldn't say I was completely defenseless against Chiqian Yiming, I was certainly doomed. And the other party, hiding outside the door and not daring to show himself, how high could their level be?
While Qin Wudi was hesitating, An Rou took out the Seven Souls Sword and silently drew a word in the air.
Qin Wudi was shocked.
He'd been playing games for a few years, so he naturally recognized the various cold weapons in Cold Weapon City. Although the sword was only palm-length, it was shaped like a long sword, not a dagger. Looking at the material, even from this distance, he could tell it was definitely not a low-level weapon.
And the word An Rou wrote was "blue".
This is a blue weapon, a second-tier weapon!
Qin Wudi finally saw hope!
He suppressed his frantic heartbeat, tried to breathe more slowly, and after reading An Rou's handwriting, he blinked.
Hold the penalty knife tightly in your hand.
The reason why he didn't use the penalty knife as his first weapon was, firstly, because he was afraid of arousing jealousy, so he kept it as a trump card. Secondly, based on his current level, his energy value could not support the frequent use of the penalty knife skill.
Green Weapon had five skill levels, and the lowest energy consumption level for the Punishing Blade, "Ink Punishment," required 200 energy points. He used two of these skills against Liu Qingsong in quick succession, leaving him with only a little over 1,000 energy points.
There are energy potions in the item bar, but they cannot be taken out to replenish in front of Chi Qianyi Ming.
Besides, since it was a sneak attack, he didn't have much of a chance. 1000 energy points was just enough to unleash the most powerful fifth stage of the Punishing Blade technique.
Success or failure depends on this one move.
Qin Wudi exhaled slowly, and after An Rou nodded, he withdrew his gaze.
This secret communication took a very short time. Liu Qingsong had just devoured the soul of the second wild guest. The body, which had lost its vital signs, exploded silently into a point of light.
Now is the time!
Qin Wudi silently muttered in his heart: Punishment knife, five-level skills, death penalty!
His figure suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the scene in front of him suddenly changed and fell into endless darkness.
Countless rays of light and shadows emerged from an unknown source, whistling and slashing towards him!
Sword flash!
The omnipresent blades, layer upon layer, seemed to be made up of thousands of blades, densely filling the entire space. No matter whether he jumped or leaned forward, the sharp blades were always swinging towards his neck.
Chizen Ichimura smiled coldly and uttered two words in a cold tone: "Traitor."
Since you have actively invited darkness, I will let you see what true darkness is.
He gripped the slender hilt with both hands.
Taidao Wuming!
At that moment, a deeper, denser darkness erupted from him. Like a living being, the inky black mass proactively faced the blade of the Great Execution, instantly dissolving the blade's immense power.
He closed his eyes, and Qin Wudi's breath condensed into a white ball in the ink-black color and projected into his mind.
Chizen Ichimura's smile froze on his face.
No, there's another person nearby!
Another white shadow rushed out from behind, forming a pincer attack with Qin Wudi in front and behind!
As soon as Chi Qianming had an idea, the thick ink emanating from his body turned into two long snakes, heading towards the two people respectively.
However, at this moment, the ghoul's unique roar exploded!
Liu easily seized the opportunity and pounced on his soul.
The thick ink suddenly shrank, the light became bright, a bright leg bent in front of the ruler, and the sword slid across a semicircle.
With a clang, the penalty sword broke into countless pieces in front of the sharp blade of the katana, like flowers scattered by a fairy, dazzling the eyes.
The sword continued to move forward, cutting off Liu Qingsong's hands, and the tip of the sword also cut off half of Liu Qingsong's neck.
The katana is also a blue weapon. With the blessing of skills, its attack power increases several times. It is also a fatal injury. Liu Qingsong's body died instantly and began to change wildly!
His severed neck fell backward, revealing a neatly cut wound. Countless fangs jutted out from the wound, as if that were his soul-devouring mouth. Bloody spikes sprouted from his two severed hands, and together with his bloody mouth, he lunged at Chi Qian Yiming!
In the nick of time, Chizen Ichimura didn't forget he was at a disadvantage, being attacked from three sides. Without panicking, he activated his katana's skill again, and black flames erupted from the blade. With a powerful swing of the blade, he swung it towards Liu Qingsong like a whip.
The sharp blade of the sword once again slashed towards Qin Wudi who was rushing towards him!
However, something strange happened!
Qin Wudi, who had urgently taken out his giant axe, stumbled for some reason, just avoiding the sword and slamming his head against the wall. The earthen wall was then cut open from the outside, and the sharp bone blade instantly pierced his skull!
The second attacker actually gave up targeting him and pushed Qin Wudi instead!
In the last moments of his life, Qin Wudi only left behind a look of indescribable astonishment.
A thunderous roar erupted outside the wall!
With a loud bang, the earth wall was completely knocked down, and the dense bone blades rushed towards Chi Qian Yiming like a cluster of fangs. Liu Qingsong's attack also arrived at the right time, one in front and one behind, once again sandwiching Chi Qian Yiming in the middle.
And this time, the distance is extremely close!
In the chaos, Chiqian Yiming caught a glimpse of the light screen that popped up in front of him.
[Ghoul Level: A (Highest)]!
Not only that, the entire mission level was raised to A.
It turns out that the highest-level ghoul was not in this house from the beginning to the end!
The massive bodies of the two ghouls obscured his vision, shrouding him in a jumble of light and shadow. As a top 100 expert on the Fate Ranking, even though soloing double S-rank missions was commonplace, Chizen Ichimura still ignored them.
He instantly activated the armor within his clothes, and the pure white fluorescence expanded, blocking the bone blades and blood thorns. At the same time, the sword flipped over, activating a skill.
He even closed his eyes to detect the location of the second attacker.
The result is - the attacker is right next to you!
The sword's energy was like a hurricane, slicing through the bone blades and bloody thorns bit by bit. Liu Qingsong let out a roar, which then abruptly stopped.
A slender arm suddenly emerged from the big mouth that was formed by the rapid change of his neck, with a cold silver light at the tip.
An inconspicuous flash of cold light actually pierced through the sword energy that was immediately in front of him, causing the hurricane to stop.
I felt a chill on the back of my neck as soon as I saw the light in front of me.
Impossible, what kind of weapons and skills can break his armor defense?
His armor is a green weapon with a defense value of thousands!
In disbelief, he swung his sword, splitting Liu Qingsong's distorted body in two. However, there was no one behind him.
An Rou succeeded in her attack and retreated.
By doing this, she created this opportunity—not for herself, but for getting rich!
The limbs that were deliberately stretched out suddenly contracted, and the bone knives that were sharper than the bone blades on his body seemed to form an X and embedded themselves into the back of Chi Qianyiming.
If the defense had not been broken, if Chi Qianming had not been distracted, if the sudden wealth had not devoured Qin Wudi's soul and greatly increased his strength, it would not have been possible.
But at this moment, all three conditions are met at the same time.
The mask of indifference that Chi Qianyiming wore was finally broken. In shock, he pulled out the weapon from behind.
His eyes widened again.
"My... Lan Wu..."
Surprisingly, it was his lost Lan Wu, the Seven Souls Sword.
His gradually drying eyeballs turned with difficulty to An Rou who was a few meters away.
“…Yes, you.”
Those were the last words he could utter. With a clang, the Seven Souls Sword fell to the ground. At the same moment, the completely dead Liu Qingsong finally dropped his quest reward. Gold coins rained down like a sandstorm.
The moment the bone knife entered the body, the soul that was about to be enlightened was already on the table of wealth.
