Chen Yan turned and ran, kicking over the wooden wall of the yard, jumping through the gap.
Several monsters rushed in through the gate behind him...
But quickly, a huge sound!
To the left of the yard, right where Chen Yan had been hiding, it exploded again!
In the violent explosion, the leader monster’s residence, the tallest two-story wooden building in the village, was lifted halfway into the air with a loud boom, shattering into pieces!
Closest to the explosion, the three monsters that rushed into the yard were blasted to bits, leaving no trace!
The shockwave from the explosion scattered the shattered limbs everywhere, and even the two monsters outside the yard who hadn’t made it in were thrown out by the shockwave, landing on the ground, bloodied all over...
Even though Chen Yan had ran far enough, the shockwave still pushed him forward several meters. He rolled on the ground, got back up, and ran towards the south of the village.
The explosion at the leader’s residence threw the village into chaos. Chen Yan took the opportunity to dash forward, splashing gasoline from the cola bottle in his hand everywhere along the way. As he ran, Chen Yan also pulled out talisman paper from his tactical vest pocket, slapping one on each wooden house he passed!
With a flash of light on the talisman paper, several ferocious tongues of fire shot out instantly!
The tongues of fire sprayed everywhere, like a powerful flamethrower. The flames were orange, licking everywhere...
This was one of the three offensive spells Chen Yan traded from the little girl: the Fiery Fire Spell.
The fire was fueled by primordial Qi. Before the Qi was exhausted, it couldn’t be extinguished, not even with water!
Soon, most of the village was engulfed in flames where Chen Yan passed. But Chen Yan had already sprinted to the southeast of the village in one breath...
This was the place he was most familiar with, the wooden house originally belonging to the Wooden Bowl.
As soon as Chen Yan rushed here, he was met with a towering figure—Supervisor Black Stone!
This guy had actually come rushing out of the Wooden Bowl’s wooden house.
Chen Yan saw Black Stone, and Black Stone saw him.
The monster roared, holding an axe and charged at Chen Yan.
Their distance closed rapidly, and Chen Yan only had time to fire one shot. The bullet pierced through Black Stone’s chest, but Black Stone roared and slammed down with the axe.
Chen Yan could only raise his rifle to block.
With a crunching sound, the rifle bent directly, and Chen Yan was smashed backward several steps, falling to the ground.
Seeing Black Stone raise the axe again, Chen Yan quickly ripped out a talisman from his tactical vest with his finger, pointing it at Black Stone!
With a booming sound, dozens of sharp blades shot out like a storm, piercing through Black Stone’s body!
Black Stone’s body stiffened, stumbled, and suddenly shattered into pieces!
Blood sprayed everywhere, and his entire body turned into dozens of pieces, scattered on the ground!
"Ten Thousand Sword Technique"!
This was the most powerful of the three spells Chen Yan learned from the little girl—yet the most difficult to seal onto a talisman paper. Based on Chen Yan’s current mastery of the Sealing Spirit Technique, he only managed to seal three talismans of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique.
And for these three successful talismans, he used up more than forty sheets of talisman paper.
Chen Yan wanted to make more, but although he could keep up with the talisman paper supply, his primordial Qi could not.
Chen Yan got up from the ground, glanced at the shattered pieces of Black Stone’s body, especially his head, severed at the neck, rolling onto the snow at Chen Yan’s feet.
Chen Yan squinted at this Supervisor Black Stone, who almost killed him once—also the one who had him whipped ten times.
He shook his head, kicked the head aside, and quickly slapped a "Fiery Fire Talisman" on this wooden house, then turned and ran away.
A few seconds later, the Fiery Fire Talisman ignited, flames leaping out, and the wooden house that once belonged to the Wooden Bowl was completely engulfed in fire...
The Wooden Bowl’s wooden house was already at the farthest edge of the village’s southeast. By the time Chen Yan arrived here, the contents of the three backpacks he carried were nearly depleted.
All the gasoline had been spilled in the village, and with the effect of the Fiery Fire Talismans, looking back now, the entire village was engulfed in flames. Screams and cries echoed everywhere, and the silhouettes of monsters scampered in the blaze like headless flies.
Some monsters tried to extinguish the fire, but in such cold weather, there was little liquid water in the village... The monsters didn’t have much drinking water themselves, and they had to break ice from the frozen river daily to melt on a stove.
Watching their houses burn in the fire, some monsters desperately threw their meager drinking water over, all in vain. Some even started shoveling snow from the ground to throw onto the fire pile...
Others took hammers to smash the houses...
Chen Yan had already reached the village outskirts, swiftly running across the frozen river outside the village.
At this moment, he had already discarded two of his three backpacks.
Chen Yan calmly watched the chaos in the village, sitting coldly on a stump by the river, making his final preparations.
He took out his last evacuation gear from the only remaining backpack, and calmly switched his equipment.
Occasionally, a monster from the village would run in panic, spotting Chen Yan sitting there and charging with frenzied roars. Chen Yan just calmly held his pistol and pulled the trigger...
Bam... Bam bam bam...
After several shots, four monster bodies lay on the ground in front of Chen Yan.
Chen Yan coolly reloaded the pistol with his last magazine, then stood up.
Even at this moment, Chen Yan’s expression remained indifferent, not a hint of anxiety or tension in his eyes, like a predatory wolf, coldly watching the direction of the village.
He awaited his biggest target of the night!
A furious roar echoed, and from the west side of the frozen river, the leader monster and several of the village’s elite monster warriors charged towards Chen Yan!
The leader monster had gone to inspect the explosion at the west hillside with his warriors, but midway, the village had plunged into chaos. The flames and explosions in the village drove the leader monster into a frenzy!
The sound of gunfire and screams over here made a big enough noise to grab his attention, leading the warriors over, and finally spotting Chen Yan!
However, there weren’t as many monster warriors with the leader monster as Chen Yan had observed before...
There were only seven or eight.
Likely some monster warriors saw the chaos in the village and ran back themselves.
Chen Yan sneered as he watched the leader monster charging from afar.
This was all part of his plan!
The leader monster was the number one target on Chen Yan’s kill list!
Whether or not the leader monster could understand, Chen Yan raised his middle finger at him, deliberately revealing a smile!
Then, Chen Yan turned and ran, swiftly gliding out on the frozen river surface...
On his feet, he wore the final set of equipment he had just changed into.
A pair of ice skates!
Watching Chen Yan whiz away at an incredible speed on the slippery ice surface, the leader monster roared, "Catch him!!"
He, towering and with long legs, took giant strides in pursuit, followed closely by several elite monster warriors...
