Pfft—
Pfft—
In no time, everyone on the battlefield who had been ganging up on Guo Duan was slaughtered on the spot by him.
Guo Duan could have easily used his divine abilities to turn them into a bloody mist.
However, these corpses still had great uses.
"This one's legs are good. They're mine now."
"Wow, such well-defined abs. Mine now."
"Damn, such full chest muscles. I'll take them and use them later."
Guo Duan rummaged through the pile of corpses, attaching useful organs to his own body.
Soon, he had assembled an optimal combination.
"Hehehe, next, it's time to deal with that troublemaker!"
Guo Duan chuckled sinisterly, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
Although he didn’t know where Ye Wangchuan had gone, the barrier was still up.
He didn’t believe someone at the third level could break through a fourth-level barrier.
After all, he had spent a whole month preparing this barrier for this very moment.
Guo Duan began searching.
……
……
Behind a hidden rocky slope.
Ye Wangchuan squatted with Li Luo on his left and a loli-form puppet on his right.
"Li Luo, how much longer until your body refinement is complete?"
"Hmm... about ten minutes?"
"Alright."
Ye Wangchuan nodded, waiting patiently.
At the same time, he took out an Ice Bone Sword from his spatial ring and handed it to Li Luo.
"Remember to use this sword for defense later."
"Ye Wangchuan, what about your weapon?"
Li Luo, holding the Ice Bone Sword, asked with confusion.
Ye Wangchuan sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"The Heavy Steel Ink Spear is for second-level combat. It’s not strong enough for battles at the third and fourth levels."
"Then why don’t you use a stick with the Ice Bone Sword tied to one end as a spear?"
"..."
As the two were discussing, the puppet tugged at Ye Wangchuan’s sleeve.
Ye Wangchuan turned his head in confusion and saw the puppet raising its hands high.
Then, the puppet shouted:
"Transform—"
"?"
Under Ye Wangchuan’s astonished gaze, the puppet began to glow and gradually changed shape.
The next second...
It turned into a spear!
"Uh..."
Ye Wangchuan stared in surprise at the puppet spear—dubbed the "Loli Spear."
He reached out, grabbed the Loli Spear, and swung it a few times.
It was surprisingly comfortable to wield!
Moreover, the Loli Spear was incredibly heavy, weighing several thousand tons.
Yet, in its puppet form, it only weighed a few dozen pounds.
Ye Wangchuan immediately took out a Heavy Steel Ink Spear from his spatial ring and placed it on the ground.
Then, he slammed the Loli Spear’s tip onto the Heavy Steel Ink Spear.
Boom—!
The Heavy Steel Ink Spear immediately cracked.
"How is it?"
The puppet’s voice came from the spear tip.
Ye Wangchuan nodded, quite satisfied.
"Not bad. It’s just a shame it can’t be thrown."
"While I can’t be thrown, I can extend."
As the puppet spoke, the spear’s length suddenly increased.
It went from two meters to a full four meters long.
Ye Wangchuan grew more and more pleased, smiling as he said,
"Can you also transform into a longbow, shield, dagger, or even chopsticks?"
"Sure."
In the next moment, the puppet transformed into everything Ye Wangchuan had mentioned, including chopsticks.
Ye Wangchuan was thoroughly impressed.
This was truly a fantastic tool!
It could transform into all kinds of weapons, serve as chopsticks for daily use, and even function as a cup for drinking water!
Just as Ye Wangchuan was about to explore more uses for the puppet, a voice interrupted him.
"Found you, hehehe!"
Guo Duan crouched on the slope, his eyes fixed on Ye Wangchuan.
Boom—!
Without giving any time to react, he stomped the ground and swung his axe toward Ye Wangchuan with full force.
Ye Wangchuan quickly raised the Loli Spear, switching it to Loli Shield mode.
Clang—!
A heavy collision sound rang out.
Although Guo Duan had previously been able to easily split the puppet’s giant shield, the puppet had now compressed its size while maintaining its weight, making it even sturdier!
Even though the axe left marks, the shield could repair itself.
"Spear."
Ye Wangchuan pointed the shield at Guo Duan and commanded.
In the next second, the Loli Shield transformed back into the Loli Spear.
Boom—!
The spear thrust toward Guo Duan’s chest, and Ye Wangchuan channeled cold, malevolent energy into the spear.
Puppet: "Uwee!"
Ye Wangchuan: "Stop making weird noises..."
Whoosh—!
As the cold energy surged into the spear, a wave of frost and malice rushed toward Guo Duan.
"Damn you!"
Guo Duan grabbed his chest and tore himself in half!
After dodging the spear’s attack, he quickly reattached himself.
Boom—!
He charged forward again, swinging his axe at Ye Wangchuan.
Ye Wangchuan immediately transformed the spear back into a shield.
"Kid! Your weapon’s transformation has a flaw!"
Guo Duan seized the moment when Ye Wangchuan’s weapon was changing forms and unleashed his divine ability!
He tore off his right arm and crushed it toward Ye Wangchuan!
The arm turned into a bloody pulp!
Guo Duan’s right arm was composed of fifteen people’s body parts!
As it exploded, fifteen streams of black smoke filled with resentment shot toward Ye Wangchuan!
Ye Wangchuan frowned and quickly retreated!
But the fifteen streams of smoke, like vengeful spirits, chased after him relentlessly!
Everything the smoke touched was instantly destroyed!
Meanwhile, Guo Duan watched the smoke chase Ye Wangchuan with satisfaction.
He turned his head, ready to attach a new arm to himself.
Then...
He spotted Li Luo sneaking away.
"..."
"This brat’s still alive?"
"Wait, that spear guy protected this kid earlier. Maybe I can use him as leverage against that guy?"
"Hehehe!"
With that thought, Guo Duan grabbed his axe with his left hand and leaped toward Li Luo.
"Oh no, oh no!"
Seeing Guo Duan charging at him, Li Luo panicked and instantly bought three explosion talismans from the system shop, hurling them at Guo Duan.
Boom!
The deafening explosion forced Guo Duan to dodge slightly.
After all, he had been hit by three explosion talismans before.
These fire-based talismans still posed a significant threat to him.
Though he could always heal himself by using corpses to replace his injuries.
Meanwhile, Li Luo was freaking out.
"Oh no! Oh no! This guy’s targeting me!"
"System! System! System! Help!"
"Your host is about to die!!!!"
[...]
[Ding, the system has granted you access to purchase mid-grade fire talismans.]
[Mid-grade Fire Talisman]: 1500 villain points each.
"Buy it!"
Li Luo didn’t care about the cost anymore.
Once the explosion’s aftermath cleared, that fourth-level monster would come charging at him.
1500 points? He could always harass Ye Wangchuan a few more times to earn it back!
[Ding, 1500 villain points deducted. Current balance: 1100 points.]
As the system’s voice faded, a fire talisman appeared in Li Luo’s hand.
