Chapter 157 Dead

Qingchen didn't dare say anything, seeing Fang Yue in such a rage in the morning.

He just muttered to himself, if they continued to follow the boss, they'd be sending themselves to their deaths.

No, no, he had to find a way to escape.

In Qingchen's view, no matter how harsh Fang Yue's words were, they were useless. Those two were not on the same level as Lord Liao.

Lord Liao was just the supervisor of their group.

But whether it was Lord Ma or Lord Niu, their status was above Lord Liao.

This could be seen from their titles.

The Phoenix Twelve Seats: Ma Seat, Niu Seat, Tu Seat, Hu Seat, Yang Seat...

How could anyone called one of the Twelve Seats be easy to deal with!

As for Lord Liao, he wasn't qualified to be ranked among the Twelve Seats!

The difference in strength couldn't be explained by a simple superior-subordinate relationship.

Qingchen, carrying Lin Ling on his back, was very anxious. But when he followed Fang Yue out of the secret room and back to Lord Liao's room, he noticed Fang Yue suddenly stop.

"Boss? What's wrong?"

"They're gone."

"Gone?"

Qingchen followed Fang Yue's gaze and saw that the prisoners who had been crowding at the door, wanting Fang Yue to continue protecting them and escaping the Phoenix stronghold, were nowhere to be seen.

"Maybe..."

Qingchen took a step forward...

Buzz!!

A flash of blinding white light suddenly appeared before him.

Before he could understand what had happened, a strange smell of burning flesh wafted from the ground.

Looking down, he saw a pool of black blood slowly spreading on the bare floor.

It was as if something had been cut off by Fang Yue's blade and fallen to the ground, spilling black blood.

Then Fang Yue stepped down.

Stomp!!

Black blood splattered high into the air, like ink, splattering forward.

In that instant, Qingchen's pupils constricted violently.

He saw that in the direction of the splatter, a swarm of insect-like, head-sized grotesque creatures with long, sharp spikes on their heads, seemingly semi-transparent, were silently floating at the door, densely packed into a wall.

"Step back."

With that instruction, the flames on Fang Yue's body erupted.

In an instant, the fiery red flames transformed into a hotter, blinding white.

In the Blazing Fire Self-immolation state, Fang Yue charged to the door, relentlessly throwing punches into the swarm of Big-Headed Insect Ghouls!

Punch! Punch! Punch! Punch!!

Kill kill kill kill!!!

Fang Yue's rage accompanied his fists, thrown out in circles.

Each punch accurately burst a Big-Headed Insect Ghoul, and with a sizzling sound, black blood exploded in mid-air, staining the surrounding Big-Headed Insect Ghouls.

But Fang Yue didn't stop, continuing to punch, continuing to swing his fists, one ghoul with each punch. Amidst the layers of fist shadows, the Big-Headed Insect Ghouls surrounding Fang Yue burst one after another like firecrackers, popping incessantly.

By the time Fang Yue stopped, the white clothes he was wearing were stained black.

"B-Boss?"

Qingchen asked cautiously, seeing Fang Yue turn to look at him calmly.

"I'm fine. How's Lin Ling?"

"He's still unconscious. Boss, listen to me, your friend definitely can't hold on like this. He needs to see a doctor quickly. You're going back to the surface now to fight those two lords. What about me and your friend? Neither of us can beat anyone. We're dead if we run into guards."

Of course, Fang Yue knew that.

It was just that the rage in his heart had made him lose his mind.

Now that he had unleashed that flurry of punches, the burning anger in his chest had finally eased a little.

"Don't worry, I'll settle the score with the Phoenix Organization later. Right now, the priority is to get Lin Ling out of here safely."

After a pause, Fang Yue pointed to the pool of black blood on the ground. "Also, are these ghouls raised by your Phoenix Organization?"

"No, I've never seen them before. We have requirements for the ghouls we capture alive. They must be tightly controlled, otherwise if there's an internal riot, most of us ordinary people, except for the stronger ones, would be finished."

"Oh..." Fang Yue's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Where do you keep the ghouls you capture alive?"

For a moment, Qingchen was stunned, then he immediately understood Fang Yue's meaning.

He immediately became excited. "Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Boss, you wouldn't be thinking of doing that, would you?"

"What do you think?" Fang Yue sneered, "The Phoenix Organization owes me so much. They should at least pay some interest first!"

Qingchen became excited because he guessed what Fang Yue was going to do. It was something he had always wanted to do but didn't dare to!

That was to go to the Living Ghoul Room where the living ghouls were imprisoned, and then kill all those ghouls who were still alive but had been tightly controlled by the Phoenix Organization and were on their last breath!

What a huge amount of resources that would be, so many ghouls! Even if they were just stacked up in numbers, it would be enough to increase their strength!

Qingchen had only dared to think about such things before, after all, he was a member of the Phoenix Organization. If he dared to do such a thing, he would have his head chopped off and be punished before he even left the stronghold.

If he lost his life, there was no point in killing any more ghouls!

As they approached their destination, he saw several people wearing the uniforms of the Ning Manor servants suddenly fleeing from the side.

The two groups met, and both were slightly stunned.

The next moment, the Ning Manor servants turned their heads in terror and ran.

Before they could run far, there was a whooshing sound, and everyone's body was suddenly split in half vertically from the bottom up. The two halves of the corpses fell straight to the ground.

Qingchen immediately became nervous. He hadn't seen anything, but he felt like he was being targeted by some high-level predator. His heart pounded, and his breathing became rapid.

Then, he saw Fang Yue move.

In one advance and one retreat, he was quick. Before Qingchen could recover, he was back with a snap.

The next instant, a white light rose straight up from the direction Fang Yue had just rushed out, its speed reaching the limit.

However, as if stunned, the rising white light, something like a wall, froze in place.

Because this White Light Wall Ghoul saw Fang Yue's crazy, cold smile.

"You think you're worthy of ambushing me?"

Before it could react, a monstrous wave of white flames had already swept over, engulfing it and burning it to ashes.

With a few clanging sounds, only a pile of black stones remained, proving that it had been there.
