CHAPTER 20: THANK YOU FOR QUEUING UP TO MEET YOUR DEMISE

At this moment, Fang Li's gaze was focused on one thing.

That thing was none other than the glowing hearts exposed in front of his Mystic Eyes.

No.

To be more precise, it should be the Death Lines that resembled cracks on those glowing hearts.

Facing those Death Lines, the dagger in Fang Li's hand transformed into a lethal weapon.

"The first one!"

The first Kabane didn't even have a chance to turn around as the dagger, radiating with a cold light, effortlessly severed the Death Line on its heart.

"The second one!"

The second Kabane had already turned its head, but it only met the dagger plunging into its heart.

"The third one!"

The third Kabane roared and pounced toward Fang Li, but as Fang Li dodged to the side, its vulnerable vital point was exposed to Fang Li's dagger. It was as if the Kabane had crashed into the blade, getting impaled on it.

"Killed a Kabane, gaining 100 Exchange Points."

"Killed a Kabane, gaining 100 Exchange Points."

"Killed a Kabane, gaining 100 Exchange Points."

Three consecutive system notifications not only declared Fang Li's victory but also pushed his Exchange Points close to 6000.

This number was almost double the requirement of the Third Main Quest.

Soon after, the three Kabane that had their hearts pierced fell down in succession, losing their aura.

"Mission accomplished!"

After striking down the three Kabane, Fang Li didn't hesitate for a moment as he rushed towards a nearby narrow path, disappearing without a trace.

It was only at this moment that the Kabane engrossed in their meal noticed the scene, unleashing furious roars and forcefully stepping into the path, chasing after Fang Li.

None of the Kabane pursued the ordinary civilians anymore.

Thus, Fang Li's plan was successfully executed.

However, the real test was yet to come.

Because this time, the Kabane attacking Fang Li were not just a few, but a dozen or more.

It was a number that Fang Li couldn't possibly defeat in a direct confrontation.

Therefore, the real test was coming up.

Fang Li was well aware of this.

Thus, without the slightest hesitation, Fang Li chose to flee instead of engaging the Kabane directly.

Within the narrow alley, the howls of the Kabane echoed continuously as they chased after their prey.

As Fang Li ran, listening to the roars behind him, he focused on adjusting his breathing, while tightly gripping the dagger in his hand, as the ice blue gleam of his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception became even more intense.

"Now, what should I do next?" Fang Li pondered this question calmly while sprinting ahead, unaware of something.

Not far from the alley, a young girl stood on top of a building, watching Fang Li being pursued by a group of Kabane. Her expression showed a mix of surprise and curiosity.

Shortly afterward, the girl leaped, her figure resembling that of a civet, and jumped onto another building, continuously leaping from one rooftop to another, chasing after Fang Li.

…

"AaahAaah————!"

The monsters' howls continued to echo out in the surrounding.

Fang Li did not stop his figure, he kept running while occasionally turning his head to look behind him.

One by one, the terrifying Kabane chased after him relentlessly, getting closer and closer as time went by.

"So, it seems that if it's only about speed, the Kabane are still superior to me," Fang Li thought.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be called monsters.

"Moreover, these guys are relentless, tireless, and they are fast," Fang Li realized, feeling his breath becoming slightly heavy from the continuous sprint.

However, the Kabane showed no signs of fatigue as they desperately pursued Fang Li, closing the distance between them.

With their naturally faster speed combined with their tireless chase, there was only one inevitable outcome for anyone who gets chased by them.

And that same outcome also waited for Fang Li, he would soon be caught up to.

But Fang Li didn't feel anxious about it. On the contrary, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Come on!"

"Come at me!"

"Let's see who will devour whom first, you or me!"

Muttering to himself in this way, Fang Li finally saw his destination.

A corner of a narrower alley.

"That's it!" Fang Li's eyes brightened as he saw this and with a forceful step, he turned and entered the narrow alley.

Seeing this, the Kabane, with their terrifying faces, chased after Fang Li without any hesitation.

However, a problem arose during this pursuit.

Due to the narrowness of the alley, the chasing Kabane became stuck at the entrance.

"AaahAaah——!"

The Kabane let out a roar and desperately squeezed their bodies to squeeze into the alley.

But even after they managed to squeeze in, the narrowness of the alley only allowed one Kabane to pass at a time.

As a result, the Kabane lined up, one after another, rushing into the narrow alley and charging forward.

"Huh?!"

At that moment, the Kabane at the forefront let out a bizarre cry.

Because that Kabane saw something that its instinct couldn't underatnd.

Their target, Fang Li, wasn't running away anymore. He was waiting just ahead in the alley.

A smile of satisfaction appeared on Fang Li's face.

"Thank you all for lining up to die!"

As soon as he spoke, Fang Li rushed forward.

"Pū chī——!"

It was the sound of the dagger swiftly tearing through the physical body.

The sharp dagger, guided by Fang Li's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, pierced through the Kabane's heart once again.

The Kabane howled in pain before collapsing slowly as its heart shattered.

Fang Li then used the corpse of the fallen Kabane as an obstacle, blocking the narrow passage in the alley that only allowed one person to pass through.

"AaahAaah——!"

All the Kabane were now trapped behind the fallen Kabane, only able to make threatening moves through the gaps toward Fang Li.

However, these Kabane had no idea how foolish it was to expose their arms so defenselessly to someone with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

And so, a glint of cold light flashed.

"Pū chī—Pū chī—Pū chī—Pū chī—!"

The sound of tearing flesh echoed once again.

Following the Death Lines, Fang Li effortlessly sliced through the outstretched arms like cutting through fragile paper.

Crimson blood showered continuously.

That hue gradually dyed Fang Li's body red.

But it was also a symbol of honor.

Because it wasn't Fang Li's blood; it was the blood of his enemies.

Then, the armless monsters faced the inevitable as lethal weapons pierced their hearts one by one.
