Chapter 27: Explosion

  Everyone was silently and quickly crossing the streets, using the winding residential buildings to kill off the vanguard of evil spirits that were charging forward. After annihilating three teams of evil spirits in a row, Zhou Yue still hadn't had a chance to make a move. At this point, even Liang Xiaoxue noticed something was off.

  But Zhou Yue remained expressionless, following in the team, just like air. When everyone was ambushing again in a residential building under Tang Kun's leadership, waiting for the evil spirits vanguard to pass by and launch a surprise attack, a swooshing sound, as if something was brushing against tiles, suddenly approached quickly from afar!

  Before Tang Kun and the others could react, Zhou Yue patted Liang Xiaoxue's shoulder, pointed to a blind spot in the courtyard that was blocked by a water tank, and then he suddenly jumped up from where he stood, leaping onto the nearly two-meter-high wall of the courtyard. With his feet borrowing force, he bounced off again, still in mid-air, and with a swift stroke, the Evil Ghost Tooth in his right hand drew a trajectory through the air, just grazing the abdomen of a level 3 evil ghost that was jumping towards him!

  The refined Evil Ghost Tooth did not disappoint Zhou Yue, and with this forward momentum, it directly split the body of that 3rd-level evil ghost from the chest down, and by the time it crashed into the brick wall, it was already dead beyond death!

  At this time, Zhou Yue also fell to the ground at the same time. In the instant he quickly picked up the small bag that had fallen, his whole body rushed forward rapidly. After stepping on the brick wall with one foot, his whole body was in mid-air and did a backflip. He was no longer the same as before when he was on the bridge head! Especially since he now has 20 points of agility, which is 3 more than those 3rd-level evil spirits, enough to suppress them!

  It was just this sudden flip, and he dodged the sneak attack of a level 3 evil spirit. Then, Zhou Yue was behind, and the evil spirit was in front. Such a good opportunity, how could he let it go? While in mid-air, the Evil Spirit's Tooth in his hand swept across again. After landing, without any pause, like a whirlwind, he floated past the left side of the level 3 evil spirit, along with the sharp blade edge of the Evil Spirit's Tooth!

  Just these two quick attacks took down 12 points of the evil spirit's life, and then Zhou Yue seized the opportunity to stab the evil spirit's back with the Evil Spirit Tooth again, without even needing to activate the paralysis effect. This evil spirit once again contributed precious experience points for him!

  The whole process, from Zhou Yue's sudden jump to the killing of the second evil spirit, was actually less than five seconds. It wasn't until then that Tang Kun and others on the other side of the courtyard wall reacted, rushing over and breaking through the brick wall, but Zhou Yue had already charged towards the third 3-level evil spirit again!

  At this moment, Zhou Yue's heart was truly exhilarated, and he almost wanted to throw his head back and laugh loudly. Tang Kun and the others had deliberately suppressed his upgrade speed, but what did that matter? The three teams of 2nd-level evil spirits they had killed before couldn't be compared to two 3rd-level evil spirits! That was equivalent to twenty 2nd-level evil spirits!

  At this time, Tang Kun and others did not have the mind to suppress Zhou Yue, because 3rd-level evil spirits were originally more difficult to deal with than 2nd-level evil spirits. Fortunately, there was only one team, with a total of ten heads. Two were killed by Zhou Yue earlier, and three were blocked by Zhou Yue just now. The remaining nine people only needed to deal with five heads, but even so, it was still somewhat difficult.

  But for Zhou Yue, when he was familiar with the routines of these 3rd-level evil spirits and could suppress them in terms of speed, his hands held even sharper fangs of evil spirits. Even if he faced three 3rd-level evil spirits alone, it would be easy and effortless!

  After Tang Kun and others killed the five 3rd-level evil spirits, Zhou Yue had already killed two 3rd-level evil spirits and successfully leveled up to level 4. His life value reached 18 points, and the two free points rewarded were still added to his agility attribute, thoroughly becoming 22 points, tied with Tang Kun who had the highest attributes among everyone.

  As for the last 3rd-level evil spirit, Zhou Yue did not kill it, but instead used the Evil Spirit's Tooth to sever its four limbs, leaving only five points of life value. Then he picked up the evil spirit's head and returned to the courtyard, handing the Evil Spirit's Tooth to Liang Xiaoxue who was hiding very cleverly behind a water tank.

  "Kill it! Don't make me say it twice, you won't get a second chance!"

  Liang Xiaoxue had already shrunk into a ball, her whole body trembling. However, she still managed to take the Evil Ghost's Tooth from Zhou Yue's hand, her teeth chattering as she hesitated for a few seconds before suddenly letting out a sharp cry and stabbing the now harmless evil ghost with her eyes closed. Almost in two moves, she killed the evil ghost and directly leveled up to 2nd level. Since this was a 3rd-level evil ghost, from now on, she only needed to kill one more 2nd-level evil ghost to immediately level up to 3rd level again.

  However, Liang Xiaoxue seemed to be completely unaware of all this, and she frantically stabbed the evil spirit's corpse dozens of times before finally throwing away the Evil Spirit Tooth and vomiting again on one side.

  But at this moment, Tang Kun and others were just looking at each other with a complex expression. Just now, they had indeed joined forces to suppress Zhou Yue's upgrade, but the strength that Zhou Yue showed in the previous moment was really shocking. They couldn't imagine why Zhou Yue's change was so great in less than an hour. The five-headed 3rd-level evil spirit was actually killed by him in a flash, and it was even more powerful than their nine-person joint attack! Especially Zhou Yue's calm attitude made people feel cold in their hearts.

  "Get up and follow!"

  Zhou Yue didn't comfort Liang Xiaoxue, but instead picked up the evil spirit's fang and the small pouch that had fallen off, and resumed his calm demeanor, waiting for Tang Kun to give orders.

  After a few seconds of silence, Tang Kun finally said with a serious face: "Withdraw!"

  Following the team, Zhou Yue first let Liang Xiaoxue add all 4 free points given by the upgrade to agility, so her agility became 18 points, tied with Qin Lang. As for combat, it's still impossible for her to try at present, Zhou Yue just hopes she can get used to various bloody scenes in a short time, so as to overcome the fear in her heart.

  Zhou Yue also took a look at the five small bags he had previously obtained. The first one still contained twenty copper coins, the second was a rice cake, and the third and fourth were two coarse iron sands that had dropped very fortunately. The fifth was still twenty copper coins. He was very satisfied with this harvest, as long as another coarse iron sand fell, he would be able to synthesize a refined iron sand.

  Next, everyone continued to implement the plan of fighting and retreating at the same time. It has to be said that this kind of alley fight is really beneficial for everyone, not only are they not afraid of being surrounded, but they can also quickly take down their opponents. Before long, another four teams of 2nd-level evil spirits were killed by everyone, while Zhou Yue still didn't make a move, because now killing 2nd-level evil spirits no longer gave him much experience points, even for 3rd-level evil spirits, he needed to kill a hundred before it was worth it!

  So he eagerly hopes to meet that team of 3rd-level evil spirits again, not for leveling up, but for the coarse iron sand drop!

  Unfortunately, all the way to the edge of the town, with everyone fighting and retreating, not a single 3rd-level evil spirit caught up.

  In fact, Zhou Yue really wanted to go back and kill a few more, in his opinion Tang Kun was too cautious, with their current strength, even if they encountered fifty 2nd-level evil spirits, they could still retreat unscathed.

  After some thought, Zhou Yue decided to take action himself. At this time, if he didn't take a risk, once he left the town and there was no civilian cover, he would have no chance again. By then, what he would encounter again would be hundreds or thousands of evil spirits, which wouldn't be fun at all. So, taking advantage of the transfer gap, he whispered a sentence to Liang Xiaoxue, and then flashed his body, bypassing a corner of the wall, and swooped towards the direction he came from!

  It turns out that Tang Kun's command ability and battlefield vision are indeed professional, and Zhou Yuecai ran less than twenty meters back, he encountered two teams of 2nd-level evil spirits head-on in a narrow alley!

  But at this time, Zhou Yue's heart was not surprised but delighted. His body suddenly accelerated and stuck to the left wall, passing through it instantly. The evil ghost tooth in his right hand also swept across the throat of the three-headed level 2 evil ghost at an extremely fast speed. With his current 22 agility points, facing these big guys with only 11 agility points was truly effortless!

  By the time Zhou Yue had quickly dodged and weaved through to the rear of these two teams of evil spirits, at least six or seven 2nd-level evil spirits' health values were less than half. After all, the Evil Spirit's Fang was now too sharp, and Zhou Yue's speed was extremely fast!

  In the instant he slipped into their rear, many of the 2nd-level evil spirits hadn't even discovered Zhou Yue's position. With that, he launched a one-sided massacre. The sharpness of the Evil Spirit Tooth, combined with attacking from behind, allowed him to kill off one 2nd-level evil spirit almost every second!

  In less than twenty seconds, the two teams of 20 second-level evil spirits were completely killed by Zhou Yue. At this speed, if Tang Kun and others saw it, they would not know what to think!

  However, this rapid attack also greatly reduced Zhou Yue's physical strength. The previous intense battles, plus the consumption of 3 points of energy value, had already left him very tired. If he hadn't slept beautifully for half an hour before, he wouldn't have been able to hold on even now.

  He let out a quiet sigh, and Zhou Yue quickly picked up the twenty small bags on the ground before turning around to escape along the original path. Now that he had killed two teams of 2nd-level evil spirits again, it was no problem for him at all. However, afterwards, he didn't have any extra strength left to run away either, let alone face his teammates with ulterior motives.
