Chapter 1472: Chapter 658: Here It Comes
"Ahhhh!!"
The head of the Zhang Family let out a wretched scream, while Zhang Baomian retreated slowly, his face as dark as water.
As he is now, he’s probably no match for that kid!
But what confounds me is, why doesn’t the Sky-reaching Pillar attack this human snatching food from the tiger’s mouth?
With the Zhang Family head being restrained by the Sky-reaching Pillar, his strength diminished, he was quickly bitten to death by a child who pounced and gnawed upon him!
Zhang Baomian is fleeing.
He has already escaped the Zhang Family.
Even though he didn’t kill the Zhang Family head with his own hands, seeing him die miserably before his eyes still filled him with endless pleasure!
"Wonderful! Wonderful! All of you die! Every single Zhang dies!!!"
As he continued fleeing, he couldn’t help but burst into maniacal laughter.
To have avenged such great hatred is no different than this!
Just when he was feeling incredibly delighted...
Snap!
His wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
What?!
Zhang Baomian’s expression changed, without even turning his head, he tried to break free immediately, only to find that the thing grasping his wrist was as immovable as iron!
Without thinking, he punched backward.
Slam!!
His swung fist was directly bitten by something.
He couldn’t even react.
Crunch!
Flesh was torn, bones were bitten through, his hand was bitten off on the spot, with blood gushing out, causing Zhang Baomian to cry out in agonizing pain.
"Ahhhh!"
At this moment, he finally saw who had intercepted him.
It was a seemingly handsome boy, apart from the blood all over his mouth and face from biting Zhang Baomian’s hand, there was almost nothing special about him, even... unfamiliar!
"Who are you!"
Zhang Baomian shouted, and rammed his head forward as a headbutt.
Bam!!
With the headbutt, instead of causing harm, Zhang Baomian’s eyes starred, and his head throbbed with pain.
While the young boy remained utterly calm.
"Pain."
His voice was very unclear.
Like a child who just learned to talk, his words were indistinct.
But Zhang Baomian understood, or rather, he recognized it.
"It’s you?!"
The bloodthirsty child! The one who was just eating the Zhang Family’s old monster!
Why did he suddenly grow up so fast?? Moreover, his power seemed... to have increased substantially!!
Zhang Baomian couldn’t believe it, couldn’t understand it, but the next instant... his vision went black all of a sudden.
Crunch.
He distinctly heard the sound of his neck being bitten through.
That was the last sound he heard in his life.
Chewing, swallowing, and then absorbing.
The boy’s body grew, his facial contours gradually unfolded, transforming into the form of a young man.
Using his agile hands, he pulled clothes off Zhang Baomian’s corpse and draped them on himself, albeit not fitting well.
"Hungry."
Still feeling a great hunger, an insatiable void of hunger, and... the more he ate, the more he felt his body changing.
He vaguely sensed that if he continued to eat, he might die.
But the hunger still drove him, searching for his next target.
Suddenly!
He sensed it.
Like a flawed gene sensing the presence of something that could fix this flaw.
That special aroma, that scent impossible to ignore, it was... coming from that direction!
Swish!
The white-clad young man left, heading straight into the distance.
That was the direction of the West City Gate!
That was... where Fang Yu was located.
"..."
The Sky-reaching Pillar looked in confusion at the ’human’ with a Buddha Demon aura, heading into the distance.
Suddenly, as if receiving some message, it dazedly followed a few steps in the direction the white-clad young man was going.
Then, as if breaking away from this enchanting influence, it regained its senses.
Dazed and bewildered, it idled at its spot, until it remembered what it needed to do.
After the Zhang Family head’s death, it had become the full master of the Sky-reaching Pillar.
Striding forward with its Buddha-like body, it needed to meet with the other Sky-reaching Pillars, to help the clan seize control of the Sky-reaching Pillar.
...
"That is the Defiled Blood Clone Demon! Don’t kill it!"
Ding Hui hurriedly shouted, but it was too late.
Fang Yu’s Bone Blade had already struck down, slicing the Defiled Blood Clone Demon in half on the spot.
[System Prompt: Congratulations player for slaying...]
The system prompt sounded, attribute points increased slightly.
Accompanying this escape journey, slaying every demon blocking the way, Fang Yu’s attribute points had increased by more than a dozen.
It’s fair to say, if it weren’t for Thunder City’s massive crisis right now, the demons emerging on this path alone would make it an absolute monster farming paradise.
Fang Yu previously wanted to kill demons in the city, having to rely on Rebel Army intelligence to find them one by one, but now the demons all came out, heading for the few Sky-reaching Pillars, or committing street killings en masse, making it much easier to kill them.
Unfortunately, now everything had to prioritize ensuring Ding Hui and their escape from Thunder City.
"I can control the Defiled Blood Clone Demon..."
Ding Hui muttered, but judging by the earlier reaction, such control at least requires considerable preparation, making it unusable in sudden encounters.
Jumping onto a horse, pulling the reins, she glanced at the few people on the cart behind.
Monk Quan Heng and Song Zhenrong were still unconscious, while Lu Qiaochun’s head was bandaged with several layers, hurriedly treated by Ding Hui, looking in fairly good shape.
However, Lu Qiaochun’s expression now appeared slightly hesitant, seemingly contemplating something.
As if feeling Fang Yu’s gaze, she suddenly looked up at Fang Yu.
"Mr. Diao, after you all leave the city... I will not be going with you."
Fang Yu paused, the city gate was right ahead, as long as they broke through the Thunder Pillars sprouting from the ground, they could successfully escape Thunder City.
