275: Chapter 274 Xiao Wei, Dead!

"Aren't you trying to set me up for a fall by praising me so much? Are you going to lecture me on the duties of an Inspector next, give me some high praise, and ideally have me lead the way so these ordinary people don't have to scout anymore?"

Chu Xuan looked at Xiao Wei and said with a smile, "If I die here, it suits your plans perfectly. If I survive, you'll continue to admire and flatter me, hoping I'll get so carried away that I lose my head, right?"

Xiao Wei was still full of shock: "Chu Xuan, have you misunderstood something? I know you're a newcomer and might have some special methods, but your Rank shouldn't be high yet. How could we let you lead the charge?"

Xiao Wei took a deep breath, his tone extremely sincere:

"Perhaps you've experienced the darkness of human nature, which led to your distrust of me, or even the feeling that I have ulterior motives. I won't blame you.

But I must tell you, I truly see potential in young people like you, and I hope you can go further. Because only with more talented young people like you and Lin Jie will humanity's future have more hope!"

When Xiao Wei said this, the others nodded in agreement.

Some older survivors even cautiously advised Chu Xuan not to misunderstand, saying Xiao Wei was a very upright and kind official.

Chu Xuan turned a deaf ear to these words, the smile still on his face. "Since you think so highly of me, why won't you let me strip the Specter from your body? I made it quite obvious just now."

"What do you mean, a Specter in my body? That's a bit much, isn't it? This is The Capital, filled with talented people. As an Inspection Team Leader here, I undergo inspections every day. How could there be a Specter in my body..."

Xiao Wei frowned, looking displeased.

But as he spoke, he saw Chu Xuan's constant smile, looking like he was watching a fool's performance. He realized he might be over-explaining and stopped abruptly.

His gaze gradually became sharp, and a cold smile slowly appeared on his face. "I wanted to play with you a bit longer, but... you didn't cherish the opportunity yourself."

Xiao Wei's appearance remained the same, but his aura became extremely cold. The survivors who were just leaning on him as their support scrambled away.

"Truly seeking death! If I were you, even if I saw something was wrong, I would have endured it in silence instead of being so clever. It's simply foolish."

Xiao Wei's eyes were like a venomous snake's, incredibly cold. "Tell me, how did you figure it out? I'll give you a quick death."

Chu Xuan said calmly, "Why don't you tell me first: did you receive a mission, or is it just the Specter in your body making you feel malicious toward me, so you want to kill me?"

"Heh, you really know quite a lot."

Xiao Wei laughed, a very dark laugh. "I did indeed receive a mission. As long as I kill you, not only can I leave safely, but I'll also receive spirituality value rewards and... a delay in my internal Specter's loss of control!"

As he spoke, everyone clearly felt the atmosphere was wrong and instinctively moved away from the two.

Tap, tap, tap...

The sound of footsteps approached along with the beam of a flashlight, then moved away. The silhouette of a security guard flickered past the observation window at the door.

The footsteps grew distant until they finally vanished.

"Now, you should tell me exactly how you knew all this..." Xiao Wei stared straight at Chu Xuan, as if he wanted to say more.

But before the words left his mouth, Xiao Wei's cold eyes suddenly became bloodshot and crazed. His muscles bulged abruptly, and he reached Chu Xuan almost instantly.

A punch blasted out, the air booming as it smashed toward Chu Xuan's face like a cannonball!

Meanwhile, as if he had expected it, Chu Xuan raised his hand to meet it head-on.

This action immediately made Xiao Wei sneer in his heart.

He had been waiting for the security guard's second patrol to leave. Now, he unleashed his full power with Berserk combined with his physical Enhancement Talent, all to ensure total success.

It was like a lion hunting a rabbit!

In his eyes, Chu Xuan was just a newcomer after all. Though his reactions seemed fast and he had some tricks, the fact that he dared to meet the punch head-on was utterly stupid.

To his surprise, in that split second, an unimaginable force surged back. The sneer on his face froze, replaced by horror.

His entire arm shattered inch by inch!

One must know he had used his Enhancement Talent, plus the strength attribute bonus from Berserk. This punch should have been as powerful as a pile driver.

But now, under Chu Xuan's fist, it was like dry weeds before a gale; Xiao Wei's right arm instantly turned into a spray of flesh and bone.

How could this be...

An uncontrollable panic surged in his heart, which then turned into a pained howl.

The thought had just arisen when it was annihilated in the next instant.

After Chu Xuan's punch shattered Xiao Wei's arm, its momentum didn't stop. His palm opened, wreathed in Black Flame, and he slammed it onto the other's head.

A shrill scream rang out.

Xiao Wei's already hideous face changed abruptly, becoming even more distorted.

His skin split open all over, greyish-white hair grew out, and horns sprouted from the sides of his head. Covered in Black Flame, he let out a scream that didn't sound human.

[Your spirituality value +80]

Chu Xuan's expression was calm as he pulled back his arm and threw another punch.

The head burst apart like a watermelon. Red and white liquids splashed everywhere, but before they could hit the ground, they were consumed by the attached Black Flame.

As the remains burned, a System prompt appeared.

[You have killed Specter: Dou Niu. There were 1005 points of spiritual essence remaining in the flesh of this body; 402 points have been fed back to you.]

"Dou Niu... one of the Northern Constellations. As expected, he was from the Resurrection Society."

At any other time, Chu Xuan would have forced the opponent to borrow spirit money from the spirit gathering holy grail, or kept him alive to try selling him goods in a dream.

But this place wasn't safe. To prevent accidents, he had to go for the kill immediately.

Next, Chu Xuan rummaged through Xiao Wei's discarded clothes and finally found 150 spirit money, which he absorbed on the spot.

[Current spirituality value: 1400]

"The Resurrection Society is truly my lucky star..."

Chu Xuan chuckled and couldn't help but think of someone.

Xinyue Fox.

After the Dream Return, everything had gone back to the starting point.

Chu Xuan had been focused only on killing the Night Demon at the Central Plaza, so he had overlooked Xinyue Fox. When he went back, he found she had already escaped using the "Nightfall" Domain of the Night Demon.

He wondered where Xinyue Fox had fled to now.

He had gained quite a bit of spirit money from her. Thinking back, although not much time had passed, Chu Xuan couldn't help but miss her a little.
