In a narrow alley, five young people, three men and two women, were leaning against the wall, smoking.
These five had dropped out of junior high to get involved in society. Fearless and defiant, they wore revealing and unconventional clothes, baring their teeth at passersby to flaunt their uniqueness and "strength."
However, the price of living this way was high. They often worried about empty pockets, and any money they managed to get was quickly squandered.
Now, these five delinquents were smoking, discussing where to get money.
Suddenly, they noticed someone standing in the alley.
It was a dead end. The five stood at the entrance. They hadn't seen anyone enter just now.
But after a brief moment of confusion, the leader with the spiked hair exchanged a look with the other four. One person was left to guard the alley entrance, while the rest walked into the alley with ill intentions.
From afar, the spiked-haired leader pulled out a butterfly knife and, with a flourish he considered cool, shouted at the figure in the alley:
"Hey, we guys are short on cash lately. How much money do you have on you? Lend it to us!"
Robbers demanding money were much more direct than petty criminals asking for it. Petty criminals, on the other hand, preferred to use "borrow" to mask their criminal acts.
After all, they were underage. Even if caught, nothing much would happen.
The figure remained motionless, seemingly resting, and did not respond to the spiked-haired leader.
The spiked-haired leader became annoyed and picked up an empty beer bottle from the corner, throwing it at the figure.
The figure did not dodge. The bottle hit him squarely, but he still remained motionless.
"Damn, is he dead?"
One of the girls, with red hair, wearing hot pants and a black choker, swore loudly and then walked forward to push the figure.
The figure finally moved.
He turned around, his blood-red eyes fixed on the four of them.
"Holy crap!"
The spiked-haired leader jumped back several steps in fright. Then, recovering, he laughed:
"Dude, your colored contacts are pretty cool. Where'd you get them? Damn, I should have brought my Sharingan contacts today!"
The spiked-haired leader hadn't realized who he was dealing with, even mistaking him for one of his own kind.
He never expected to find someone in this city with taste similar to his!
He suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie with this stranger, a feeling of mutual appreciation.
So, the spiked-haired leader waved his hand to his subordinates, signaling them not to attack this "kindred spirit."
He chuckled and took out a cigarette, "Want one?"
Wu Tianfeng glanced at the cigarette, then at the spiked-haired leader, and suddenly kicked him flying!
The spiked-haired leader was sent flying back more than ten meters, nearly out of the alley.
Seeing this, the others were terrified.
Wu Tianfeng also revealed his segmented limbs and tail, preparing to hunt a few more prey to replenish his vital essence.
These five young people, despite their rough appearance, were full of youthful vigor and had the most potent vital essence!
"A monster! A monster!"
The youths shrieked and scrambled backward. Wu Tianfeng poked at them with his segmented limbs.
Just as the alley descended into chaos, Yan Shouyi descended from the sky and severed one of Wu Tianfeng's limbs with a single strike, blocking his escape.
"Wu Tianfeng, you can't escape!" Yan Shouyi shouted.
The severed limb dripped with green blood, looking disgusting, but it quickly regenerated.
"You ghost! Always haunting me!"
Wu Tianfeng cursed furiously. He dared not confront Yan Shouyi directly and turned to flee.
The reason he was killing people on his escape route was to replenish his vital essence and enhance his strength. Otherwise, with his current power, he might not be able to escape from Yan Shouyi and Lin Zhitong.
As Wu Tianfeng turned, the wall behind him was suddenly smashed open!
Zhu Shanzao burst through the wall, his momentum undiminished, and slammed into Wu Tianfeng's abdomen!
Caught off guard, Wu Tianfeng was sent reeling, disoriented.
"Hahaha! How's the power of my old Pig's Charge, eh?!"
Zhu Shanzao proudly raised his pig's head, smug.
"Well done!"
Lin Zhitong descended from the sky, her Red God Umbrella thrust unhesitatingly towards Wu Tianfeng's forehead.
Wu Tianfeng regained his senses and used all eight of his segmented limbs to block, catching the Red God Umbrella. However, the tip of the umbrella was only a hair's breadth away from his forehead, causing Wu Tianfeng to break out in a cold sweat.
These two damned lovebirds are so troublesome! Wu Tianfeng cursed inwardly.
With a twist, he flung Lin Zhitong aside. His eight segmented limbs dug into the walls on both sides, and he climbed upwards at spider-like speed.
Yan Shouyi was about to pursue when Wu Tianfeng suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out countless small black insects!
These small insects were all hatched from the insect eggs that Jue Gu had laid inside Wu Tianfeng's body. They had been hidden within Wu Tianfeng's stomach all along and were only spat out as a last resort to aid him.
However, the spectacle was truly astonishing.
The punks witnessing this scene could not hold back and doubled over to vomit.
"Be careful, that girl! These Gu worms are the same as the ones we encountered in Qin Shi Huang's tomb!" Yan Shouyi warned.
In Qin Shi Huang's tomb, Yan Shouyi had encountered a powerful Gu master.
At that time, the Gu master also harbored countless Gu worms within his body. The only difference was that those Gu worms were golden, while the ones Wu Tianfeng spat out were black.
The black Gu worms swarmed like a locust plague, forming a black cloud that flew towards Lin Zhitong.
Lin Zhitong raised her Red God Umbrella and heard a series of impact sounds from the front.
It was the suicidal Gu worms colliding with the Red God Umbrella.
They were fearless, like bullets, shattering themselves but relentlessly pressing forward.
Lin Zhitong was pushed back several meters by the impact, the force so strong that she could barely hold the Red God Umbrella.
"By Yuqing's command, I summon you gods. Supreme Saint of Thunder, destroy their souls and spirits. Cut off a thousand heads, sever ten thousand forms. Disobey, and be ground to dust!"
In the critical moment, Yan Shouyi released a palm lightning strike.
The palm lightning transformed into an electric serpent, burrowing into the swarm of black Gu worms. A chain reaction ensued, the electric serpent weaving through countless Gu worms. In an instant, the alley was illuminated by the electrical discharge, and the Gu worms rained down in batches.
In the blink of an eye, all the Gu worms were charred and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
"Immortals! Immortals!"
The spiked-haired leader slumped to the ground. Seeing this, he couldn't help but pinch his thigh, trying to confirm if he was dreaming.
The other punks did the same, some even wetting themselves in fear.
After dealing with the Gu worms, Lin Zhitong retracted her Red God Umbrella. Wu Tianfeng was nowhere to be seen in the alley.
"He went towards the bustling downtown area!"
Yan Shouyi grabbed Lin Zhitong's arm and threw her onto the roof of a nearby civilian house.
Lin Zhitong landed steadily on the rooftop and looked up, her expression immediately turning extremely grim.
Before her was a large amusement park. Today was the weekend, and it was also during the summer vacation. The park was teeming with children!
