56: Mysterious Man

After the five of them, including Wang Luo, dealt with the evil spirit at the village entrance, their gaze shifted to the desolate village ahead.

"Shall we continue, Luo-ge?"

Everyone looked at Wang Luo.

"Continue!"

Wang Luo’s eyes sparkled.

"Although this operation carries some danger, it’s also an opportunity to earn a large amount of Contribution Points!"

"Evil spirits are strong, but their intelligence isn't high. As long as we use this to our advantage, killing them won't be difficult."

Everyone nodded.

The three-mark evil spirit they had just killed was worth five hundred Contribution Points.

After their internal distribution,

Wang Luo, as the strongest in their team, would receive more Contribution Points than the others, and they would also give some to Xiao Shi, who was on alert.

The remaining four people’s Contribution Points were distributed equally.

Although after this distribution, apart from Wang Luo, everyone else received less than a hundred Contribution Points,

but if they killed enough, the accumulated amount would be a huge gain.

After all, opportunities like this to earn Contribution Points were rare.

And Contribution Points, besides determining whether they could be promoted to Inner Sect Disciple, were also an important way for them to exchange for powerful cultivation techniques, weapons, elixirs, and other resources.

They all valued it highly.

Taking this risk was worth it.

Thinking of this,

the five of them didn't hesitate and decisively walked into the desolate village.

They prepared to go inside and kill more evil spirits.

This desolate village was extremely old and dilapidated.

Rows of stone houses, some tall, some short, stretched to the horizon, with weathered tiles covering their single-pitched roofs.

The path from the village entrance into the village was a compacted dirt road, which would become muddy in the rain, and the village itself was overgrown with weeds.

Under the cover of night,

the entire village appeared somewhat eerie.

The five of them, including Wang Luo, moved cautiously through the village.

"Look quickly!"

Wang Changhuan suddenly pointed ahead.

There, an evil spirit was indeed wandering.

Judging by the vertical mark on its forehead, this was a two-mark evil spirit, equivalent to a human’s Entering Martial Realm Sixth Level.

However, its combat power was definitely capable of contending with a martial artist at the Entering Martial Realm Seventh Level.

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

They had been able to kill the previous three-mark evil spirit.

This two-mark evil spirit naturally posed no pressure.

One could say this was almost a freebie!

But even so,

they did not underestimate it.

They all attacked with full force.

Compared to the previous three-mark evil spirit, this two-mark evil spirit was clearly much weaker.

It was no match for Wang Luo at all.

It didn't even have time to let out a cry.

It was jointly killed by Wang Luo and the others.

Another sum of Contribution Points was in hand!

Everyone felt very excited.

They felt that evil spirits weren't that difficult to deal with.

After they had successively killed three two-mark evil spirits in the village,

the Contribution Points they had currently harvested alone,

were comparable to the Contribution Points for completing a Level 4 mission.

This also made their courage gradually grow.

When they encountered a three-mark evil spirit in the village,

they decisively attacked.

With their previous experience in killing a three-mark evil spirit, they still used Wang Luo as the main attacker, allowing this three-mark evil spirit to focus its target on Wang Luo, while the others were responsible for attacking from the side.

This three-mark evil spirit was like the one at the village entrance earlier.

Once it locked onto Wang Luo, it completely ignored the attacks from the others.

However... they had overlooked their current location, which was no longer the village entrance, but in the middle of the village.

Boom!

When this three-mark evil spirit, during the battle, crashed into a stone house in the village, causing the entire house to collapse instantly,

the evil spirits distributed in various parts of the village,

all looked up.

It was like sharks in the sea smelling blood.

They rushed over at an astonishing speed.

In just a few short seconds,

six or seven evil spirits appeared near Wang Luo and his companions.

In the distance, even more evil spirits were gathering and approaching.

"This is bad!"

Everyone’s expressions instantly changed drastically.

They subconsciously wanted to retreat.

But it was already too late.

More and more evil spirits arrived rapidly, surrounding them completely.

Among them, there even appeared evil spirits with four vertical marks on their foreheads.

This was equivalent to a human’s Entering Martial Realm Eighth Level!

However, its combat power far exceeded that of a human’s Entering Martial Realm Eighth Level.

The faces of the five of them, including Wang Luo, turned pale.

This situation for them... was completely a death trap!

Although evil spirits were not highly intelligent, their combat power was extremely terrifying. Surrounded by so many evil spirits, there was simply no chance of survival.

Annoyance, regret, and various other emotions intertwined within the minds of the five of them, including Wang Luo.

Because things had gone too smoothly... they had let down their guard.

This single mistake directly plunged them into a place of eternal damnation.

Despair appeared in their eyes.

As more and more evil spirits gathered,

soon, the evil spirits surrounding them had already reached twenty.

The weakest among them were two-mark evil spirits.

There were even two powerful four-mark evil spirits.

Just these two four-mark evil spirits were already beyond their ability to deal with.

Let alone the numerous other evil spirits.

Fear and despair constantly erupted within their minds.

Being stared at by so many pairs of white, pupil-less eyes, they all felt a chill run down their spines and their scalps tingle.

Just as these evil spirits were about to attack,

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud bang,

a figure suddenly rushed from behind these evil spirits, directly sending four or five evil spirits in front of him flying.

The evil spirits that were hit included two-mark evil spirits and three-mark evil spirits.

The three-mark evil spirit, after being hit, immediately had a large area of cracks appear on its body surface.

The two-mark evil spirit, on the other hand, directly collapsed with a crash while being thrown into the air.

The entire encirclement was subsequently breached, creating a gap.

This allowed the figure to successfully smash its way from the outside into the encirclement.

The five of them, including Wang Luo, stared blankly at this appearing figure.

This was a tall and burly figure, at least two meters tall.

He wore a black robe, a hood, and a black scarf covering his face, making his appearance indistinct.

He was like a towering mountain.

Standing in front of the five people.

Causing all the evil spirits' gazes to converge on his tall figure.

Boom!

The tall, mysterious figure said nothing. After rushing into the encirclement, he immediately attacked!

An astonishing aura of vital energy emanated from him. With a single step forward, he appeared in front of one of the four-mark evil spirits.

He raised his hand and unleashed a punch.

It fiercely collided with the four-mark evil spirit’s enlarged black giant claw.

Boom!

With a loud bang,

the five of them, including Wang Luo, watched in horror... that even with the four-mark evil spirit’s might, its entire black giant claw instantly shattered and exploded under the mysterious person’s punch.

The four-mark evil spirit was even sent flying by the punch’s violent force, and while flying, unable to withstand the power of the punch, it directly disintegrated in mid-air!
