After Favorability Is Maxed

It had a pair of hollow black eyes, and its facial features were similar to holes that caved in. Its body was covered in snow-white fur. It had rotten wounds on its body, but it was in a much better condition than the human-faced Howling Moonwolf. Only its dry and cracked skin was black and oozing pus.

“Roar!”

The human-shaped monster opened its mouth and let out a long roar. It raised its two forearms and lowered them.

Bang! Bang!

The huge palm was hairless like a human’s palm, and there were even rough palm lines. When it was pressed on the ground, the thin bricks covered in dust immediately shattered, and the surrounding walls immediately cracked like a spider web.

Boom!

In the floating smoke and dust, the pale body of the behemoth whistled through the dark and gray space, and with the help of the reaction force from the press, it suddenly leaped up.

Coupled with its long and thin limbs, it was like a giant white spider. It was extremely swift and violent, leaving only an afterimage in their line of sight. It pressed down on the crowd with a threatening momentum and a strong sense of oppression.

This series of actions only took an instant.

Although the humanoid monster was tall, its movements were unusually agile, and it didn’t look clumsy at all.

When it started to move, everyone saw that it had a tail behind it. The slender tail was like a long whip, whipping to both sides with a strong wind, making a short sound of breaking the air. It scraped deep marks on the White jade walls on both sides, which were as sharp as a blade.

Liu Yuan did not even have the time to withdraw his sword. The pitch-black sword in its scabbard blocked He Qingmeng’s path.

Beside him was Pang Ying, who had a stiff expression on her face. The malicious smile on her face had yet to completely turn into panic when Liu Yuan simply twisted his wrist, and Evil Heart cut across and heavily struck her chest and abdomen, the softest and weakest part of her body.

Everyone’s spiritual power had been suppressed, but their basic physical qualities were still at the level of seasoned martial artists, which was Fu Huan’s level. In addition, Liu Yuan had almost used all his strength, so this blow was not to be underestimated.

Pang Ying was caught off guard. She let out a blood-curdling scream and slammed into the wall. Her face was pale as she clutched her abdomen and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“What are you doing?” she screamed.

At the same time, Chuichui suddenly transformed back to her original form. However, she obviously forgot that they were in a tunnel. With a loud bang, the demon dragon and the human-shaped monster collided. Although the latter was blocked, everything from the ceiling to the ground was supported by the enlarged demon dragon’s original body. Everything collapsed as it shook, as if there was an earthquake.

The demon dragon stretched out her claws and tried to slam the human-shaped monster into the ground. However, she did not expect that the monster’s agility was far beyond her imagination. It immediately sensed the killing intent and broke free from the distance. Then, it bared its teeth and rushed over again.

Although Chuichui’s skin was thick and her body was covered in flames, giving her extremely strong defense, this human-shaped monster was not afraid of pain and flames. It was also fast and extremely difficult to deal with. It was like a cat and a mouse. For a moment, there was no way to deal with it.

Swish!

A ball of golden Sword Light cut through the dim line of sight and suddenly attacked.

The girl in white was as agile as a crane. The tip of her foot lightly touched the demon dragon’s scales, and she dodged and moved around. Her gorgeous long sword drew a beautiful arc, and from a tricky angle, it instantly pierced into the wound on the human-shaped monster’s shoulder.

The sharp blade cut into the monster’s bones. The girl jumped into the air, and the blade turned in a semi-circle, cutting off the monster’s shoulder with great precision.

Thud.

The arm fell to the ground.

The monster roared and reached out to grab the white-robed girl.

However, Zhiying was extremely agile. Like a swallow returning to its nest, she suddenly disappeared and appeared next to Liu Yuan in the next moment.

Liu Yuan’s eyes were filled with amazement. He had just thought of how a butcher could dispel an ox. Now, he had really put the illusory swordsmanship into practice. Zhiying simply and clearly demonstrated what was called steady, accurate, and ruthless.

However, the figure behind him was not relaxed either. Her breathing was much heavier than before.

The monster was even worse off. It had lost an arm and was immediately caught by Chuichui. Its body was suddenly pierced by the sharp claws, and it let out a series of shrill cries.

Liu Yuan’s eyes twitched when he heard that. He thought to himself that it was over. In this case, the other monsters in the palace will have heard the ruckus.

Seeing that it was beyond saving, the monster immediately pounded the ground with its palms again, creating another hole.

There was still a pitch-black hole under the ground. They didn’t know if the entrance they came in from was actually the second floor or if there was a basement below.

The human-shaped monster raised its head and gave a long roar, then jumped into the hole.

It was as if it knew that it was no match for them, so it chose to escape.

It was not like the human-faced Howling Moonwolf from before. Even though it felt an instinctive fear, it still went on a rampage and lost its life.

Looking at this monster’s characteristics, Liu Yuan guessed that it was some kind of ape, which was both agile and smarter than the average demon beast.

As for why it looked so terrifying, it was probably due to the Howling Moonwolf’s mutation. Perhaps it had something to do with the Martial Emperor He Junhao, or perhaps it didn’t. They still needed to find out more.

Tang Yuanhua and the others were dumbfounded as they watched the obedient and cute kitten suddenly turn into a huge demon dragon and fight with the monster.

In the blink of an eye, the battle was over.

However, the loud sounds that were produced during this period of time, whether it was the destruction of the wall or the screams and howls, were all so loud that they were difficult to ignore.

Basically, if there were similar monsters nearby, they would definitely be on their way.

Not to mention that the human-shaped monster had escaped.

According to Liu Yuan’s experience of dealing with the monkeys on the mountain, it was very likely that this monster went to get help.

“He wants to kill me!” Pang Ying suddenly cried out and pointed at Liu Yuan, “He’s trying to monopolize the Martial Emperor’s inheritance! Don’t trust him!”

This woman had turned the tables on him and accused him first. Then, she changed her motive to the Martial Emperor’s inheritance. She was truly vicious.

Tang Yuanhua’s expression changed a few times and he said with a dark face, “Fellow Daoist, what’s going on?”

Chuichui turned around and lowered her dragon head to stare at Tang Yuanhua and the others with a threatening look.

The atmosphere was tense.

Liu Yuan originally wanted to find the Yarrow, but he immediately realized that it was gone. He understood that Pang Ying must have done something to it. This item was common in the game and was used to curse.

The sect that specializes in curses, the Yarrow, Pang Ying...

Liu Yuan thought for a moment and finally recalled the impression of this sect from his memory. So it was the plot at the Netherworld Cliff!

He raised his head and saw Pang Ying’s smug and ferocious expression.

“I do want to kill her.”

Liu Yuan nodded in acknowledgment. Tang Yuanhua and the others’ expressions changed, but Liu Yuan continued, “However, it’s not for the Martial Emperor’s inheritance, but for personal grudges. There’s no harm in telling you. I don’t think Pang Ying told you that she’s a traitorous disciple from the Netherworld Cliff.”

Pang Ying’s expression contorted instantly, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

“The disciple of the Netherworld Cliff’s Sect Master, Chu Jianglian, was blinded by her curse, so that she can’t see for the rest of her life.” Liu Yuan’s expression did not change as he continued, “Jianglian asked me to help clean up the filth from the sect.”
