Chapter 1549: Chapter 1544: Thank You for the Opportunity You Gave Me

Roar~

An elongated roar reverberated through the sky in an instant, as deep and resonant as a bell. Following the roar, his skin began to change color, transforming from a human complexion into a coat of shimmering silver, drastically enhancing his defense!

The black glows rushing toward him could no longer pierce "Ah Fu’s" skin in a single strike, only managing to leave dents upon his silver armor.

Though he wasn’t the real Ah Fu, he had inherited some of Ah Fu’s traits—a tremendous strength and astonishingly high defense. Like a walking iron fortress, he charged forward step by step, directly into the downpour of black glows!

Tang Ye glanced behind "Ah Fu." "Xu Haishui" was still standing idle, as though waiting for something. Narrowing his eyes in thought, Tang Ye seemed to realize something, nodding in sudden understanding, only to shake his head a moment later.

"Should I call you smart, or just plain dumb?"

Seeing that his black glows couldn’t breach "Ah Fu’s" defenses, Tang Ye ceased the futile assault. Raising his hand, his flesh twisted and morphed into a blood-red blade nearly two meters long. But after a moment of thought, he dissolved the blade back into his palm with a flow of blood, allowing it to vanish. His gaze swept over the black mist swirling around him. With a thought, dozens of black mist tendrils sprouted from his back, moving in sync with his arm movements.

"Come on, if he’s waiting till the end, I’ll take care of you first!"

Muttering quietly, Tang Ye crouched low, steadying his body. The tendrils of black mist on his back tensed, ready to strike!

The air around Tang Ye’s feet compressed under his force, and the ground cracked!

Two seconds later, a massive explosion erupted beneath Tang Ye’s feet!

BOOM!

The ground shattered into a large crater, dust surging hundreds of meters into the air. The spot where Tang Ye had been standing was now empty. In the blink of an eye, Tang Ye appeared in front of "Ah Fu"!

As Tang Ye approached, a glint of excitement flashed in "Ah Fu’s" eyes. He immediately raised his hand and swung a fist, but his attack was far slower than Su Sigui’s. Tang Ye dodged it with ease!

Roar!

Before "Ah Fu" could pull back his arm, a black mist tendril slammed into his neck with a resounding "thud." Though the intent was to pierce through, "Ah Fu’s" thick, tough skin thwarted the attempt. Tang Ye quickly adapted, wrapping the tendril around "Ah Fu’s" neck. With a sudden pull, Tang Ye leaped into the air, and two other tendrils sprouted spikes, striking "Ah Fu’s" back with a sharp "snap"!

The spikes made contact with his skin, embedding slightly but failing to fully penetrate. Still, the pain caused "Ah Fu" to roar in agony. He turned, attempting to grab Tang Ye’s black mist tendrils and pull him down, but as soon as his hand touched them, the tendrils dissipated into mist, leaving him grasping at nothing!

In that brief instant, Tang Ye positioned himself behind "Ah Fu," standing atop his broad shoulders. Controlling the remaining tendrils, he coiled them tightly around "Ah Fu’s" neck, then threw his weight backward!

BOOM!

With all his strength, Tang Ye succeeded in toppling "Ah Fu" to the ground! The impact created a human-shaped crater. Not giving him a chance to rise, Tang Ye dragged "Ah Fu" forward with the tendrils and began running!

The enormous body of "Ah Fu" was hauled along behind him, sliding rapidly across the ground!

After covering some distance, Tang Ye exerted more force, causing the tendrils to throw "Ah Fu" into the air!

"Too slow!"

Mocking him, Tang Ye leapt up, slamming a heavy kick into "Ah Fu’s" abdomen and sending him plummeting back down. Finally, from midair, Tang Ye stomped down hard onto "Ah Fu’s" head!

BANG!

Dust flew up once again as "Ah Fu’s" head smashed into the ground, creating another crater!

Roar!

"Ah Fu" let out a muffled roar, attempting to lift his head. But in the next second, Tang Ye’s hand clamped around his throat. Before he could resist, Tang Ye hoisted him into the air with one hand and slammed his head directly into the ground like uprooting a tree!

"Stay down!"

With a low growl, Tang Ye clasped his hands together, while the ten tendrils on his back intertwined, merging into one massive and robust tendril!

With a thrust of his hands, the enormous tendril lashed out toward the battered "Ah Fu" with a deafening "whoosh"!

In an instant, a distinct ripple formed in the air behind "Ah Fu." The cracked and ash-covered ground beneath him was instantly cleared, and "Ah Fu" himself was launched into the distance. After tumbling several times, he was buried beneath the debris of a collapsed building.

Having temporarily dealt with "Ah Fu," Tang Ye didn’t attack Xu Haishui immediately but turned his attention to Su Sigui. If the fake Xu Haishui refused to act, Tang Ye would save him for last. The first to die would be this fake Su Sigui, as she would be easiest to kill. On the contrary, defeating "Ah Fu" would take considerable time and effort.

Among those of the same level, although Su Sigui’s combat ability was significantly higher than "Ah Fu’s," breaking through his defenses was not something achievable by someone of their tier. Tang Ye knew "Ah Fu’s" defensive capabilities well—killing him would require the full strength of a Level 9 Zombie King. Otherwise, at Level 8, even ten opponents wouldn’t be able to do more than make "Ah Fu" look slightly pathetic. Breaching his defenses and killing him was practically impossible.

Besides, there was no need for Tang Ye to entangle himself with "Ah Fu." With his speed, it was delusional to think "Ah Fu" could catch him.

Quickly, Tang Ye approached the spot where Su Sigui was buried. Having struck with sufficient force earlier, she still hadn’t managed to rise. As Tang Ye drew closer, the figure beneath the rubble seemed to sense the approaching danger. The pile of debris began to move rhythmically, like the breathing of a living creature.

"Rest in peace!"

Without giving Su Sigui any chance, Tang Ye pinpointed the location and drove a tendril down with ruthless precision!

"Uh..."

A faint voice came from within the rubble, which soon fell silent. The pile of debris burying Su Sigui became her grave.

"Next..."

Turning his head, Tang Ye’s gaze locked onto "Xu Haishui." Their eyes met!

He saw a frown crease the other’s brow. Soon, Xu Haishui’s footsteps began retreating. Suddenly, he broke into a full sprint—fleeing backward!

"Too late. If you’d attacked me together with the other two, you might’ve had a chance. But you let your fear of death guide you. And now, thank you for the opportunity you’ve given me."

These words were laced with cold mockery, spoken to Xu Haishui’s retreating figure. As the last word fell, Tang Ye transformed into a bolt of lightning, streaking toward Xu Haishui in rapid pursuit!
