**Boom!!**
The heavy spear slammed into the wall, causing it to crumble instantly.
Cracks, like spiderwebs, spread rapidly across the ground.
Su Fugui was drenched in sweat, gasping for breath.
If that spear had struck him, he would have been dead on the spot.
"Who's there?!"
Night Shadow frowned, her gaze sharp as she looked in the direction the spear had come from.
At the end of the road, a man wearing a black mask approached leisurely, fanning himself with a folding fan.
"Who is this?"
Su Fugui was utterly confused.
After all, Ye Wangchuan was not only wearing a mask but had also padded his clothes to slightly alter his figure.
Under normal circumstances, someone with a low cultivation level wouldn’t recognize him as Ye Wangchuan.
Ye Wangchuan chuckled softly, closing his fan.
In the next moment—
**Clang! Clang!**
Ye Wangchuan swiftly drew his spear.
Night Shadow appeared in front of him in an instant, her dagger slashing toward him without hesitation.
But Ye Wangchuan stepped back, sweeping his spear forward to block her attack.
Night Shadow had intended to close the distance quickly, as she had done before.
But the spear's long reach gave Ye Wangchuan a significant advantage.
No matter how Night Shadow tried to reposition herself, Ye Wangchuan only needed to shift his spear slightly to keep its tip aimed at her.
This left her unable to find an opening.
Night Shadow had no choice but to change tactics. She slammed her dagger against the spear with all her might!
Her plan was to use her immense strength to knock the spear out of Ye Wangchuan's hands.
Ye Wangchuan, in turn, swung his spear toward the dagger.
**Clang!**
The dagger struck the spear.
But the outcome was not what Night Shadow had expected.
Instead of the spear trembling from the impact...
The dagger shattered.
"What kind of spear is this? How is it so tough?!"
Night Shadow was genuinely shocked. Her trusty dagger, which she had always relied on, had been shattered so easily!
This meant the spear was likely forged from some rare and precious material.
**Whoosh!**
Before she could think further, Ye Wangchuan seized the opportunity.
Seeing her mistake, he pushed the spear forward and swept it sideways!
The distance was too close, and Night Shadow had no choice but to block the blow with her other dagger, holding it against her waist to absorb the impact.
**Boom!**
The spear sent Night Shadow flying several meters.
Ye Wangchuan pressed his advantage, thrusting the spear's tip toward her.
However, Night Shadow was, after all, at the second level of cultivation. Being struck by the spear wasn’t enough to incapacitate her.
She rolled to dissipate the force, quickly got up, and drew a spare dagger from her thigh holster, continuing to engage Ye Wangchuan.
Despite Ye Wangchuan being only at the peak of the first level, while Night Shadow was at the second, it was clear after several exchanges that Ye Wangchuan had the upper hand.
Meanwhile...
To Su Fugui, the entire scene had unfolded in the blink of an eye.
All he saw were the afterimages of Night Shadow and the mysterious man clashing for three seconds, the sound of metal clashing ringing out continuously.
And then, Night Shadow was sent flying by the spear!
Su Fugui gulped nervously.
At his peak, he had nearly been killed by Night Shadow in two seconds. Yet, this mysterious man had not only held his ground for three seconds but had also sent Night Shadow flying.
Now, injured as he was, Su Fugui knew he couldn’t intervene in this battle.
Just as Su Fugui was lost in thought...
"Big brother, what’s going on here?"
A childlike voice called out.
"A kid?"
Su Fugui turned around, puzzled as to why a child would be here.
In the next moment—
**Thud!**
As soon as Su Fugui turned, Li Luo, wearing a mask, thrust her spear right between his legs!
The excruciating pain of being struck there overwhelmed him.
No matter how strong his willpower, Su Fugui couldn’t withstand this kind of agony.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Su Fugui let out a piercing scream.
He collapsed to the ground, his body twitching uncontrollably from the pain.
It hurt! It hurt so much!
"Heave-ho~"
Li Luo struggled a bit to lift the spear, preparing to drive it into the back of Su Fugui’s head.
Night Shadow, who was still locked in combat with Ye Wangchuan, saw this and panicked.
Memories of her time with Su Fugui flashed through her mind...
Though, admittedly, they hadn’t known each other for long.
After the brief flashback, Night Shadow kicked Ye Wangchuan’s spear away and sprinted toward Li Luo, screaming.
"STOP!!!!!"
Hearing Night Shadow’s scream, Su Fugui’s eyes lit up.
That’s right! I can’t die! Back at my mansion, there’s a pair of stunning twin maids waiting for me!
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Su Fugui roared in his heart, shouting,
"System! Give me a boost—"
**Thud!**
Before he could finish his thought, the spear pierced through the back of his skull, and everything went dark.
Su Fugui collapsed with a thud.
Night Shadow, who had been screaming, suddenly froze.
Huh?
Just like that... he’s dead?
On the other side, Ye Wangchuan smiled.
Good thing I brought Li Luo along.
Otherwise, Su Fugui might have really pulled off some last-minute power-up.
Li Luo is so useful.
**[Ding, host has completed mission option two.]**
**[Rewards: Low-grade Cultivation Pills +6, Low-grade Foundation Building Pills +2, Villain Points +100.]**
**[Current Villain Points: 480]**
Seeing that her mission was complete and the rewards had been received, Li Luo’s face lit up with joy.
She then prepared to follow Ye Wangchuan’s instructions and take the body away to burn it.
This was to prevent Su Fugui from coming back to life.
But in the next moment—
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH! SU FUGUI! NO!!!!!"
Night Shadow let out a deafening roar and charged at Li Luo.
Though she had only known Su Fugui for ten minutes, they had already formed a deep bond!
At the very least... she had to recover his body!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Seeing a second-level cultivator charging at her, Li Luo panicked. She immediately dropped the body and ran.
After all, she was only at the initial stage of the first level and didn’t know any spear techniques.
Unless she used an explosive talisman, Li Luo didn’t think she stood a chance.
But she wasn’t about to waste 200 Villain Points on a corpse.
Li Luo didn’t care about the body, and Night Shadow didn’t care about Li Luo.
Night Shadow grabbed Su Fugui’s body and took off at an astonishing speed.
Within seconds, she was out of sight.
Li Luo shrugged helplessly at Ye Wangchuan.
"Couldn’t catch her. Oh well, that’s that."
"Honestly, you’re so paranoid. Killing someone isn’t enough for you—you have to burn the body too."
Li Luo spoke nonchalantly.
She had gotten her mission rewards and even saved a week’s rent.
All it cost was killing one person.
Easy!
"Mm."
Ye Wangchuan nodded, smiling as he patted Li Luo’s head in praise.
"You did well this time. You killed without hesitation, not a hint of doubt."
"Uh... thanks, I guess. But maybe don’t compliment people like that next time."
Li Luo’s mouth twitched.
Then, she looked at Ye Wangchuan with a puzzled expression and asked,
"Ye Wangchuan, your family has plenty of powerful people, right? Why don’t you get them to do the killing instead of relying on me?"
"Well... it’s simple, really. I want to see you grow stronger step by step. I don’t want you to stay weak."
Ye Wangchuan casually made up an excuse.
He couldn’t very well tell Li Luo that he was using her as a tool to break through plot armor.
Besides...
Ye Wangchuan had actually arranged for someone from the Ye family to keep watch nearby.
Just in case something unexpected happened.
...
In the distance, on a dimly lit street.
Ye Bai wiped the blood from his hands.
In front of him lay Night Shadow, her body covered in wounds.
"Though I don’t know why the young master is so obsessed with burning corpses, if he says to do it, I’ll do it."
"Sorry about this, miss."
Ye Bai said with a cheeky grin.
"Ugh... ah..."
Night Shadow tried to speak, but her throat had already been slit.
**Thud!**
In the next moment, Ye Bai stomped down, crushing Night Shadow’s neck.
Then, he dragged Su Fugui’s body away, disappearing into the night.
