Chapter 23: Angry in the Heart

The speed of the headless evil spirit was beyond Li Ye's imagination, and it arrived in front of Li Ye in just a flash.

It was wearing shabby linen clothes, with dry arms and long black nails.

Li Ye didn't react at all to this grab, and was caught on the chest by the headless evil spirit.

With a "buzz" sound, the energy and blood in Li Ye's body suddenly began to vibrate, blocking Xie Sui's claws from outside his body.

However, Li Ye's clothes were instantly shattered, stained with frost, and there were five green and black claw marks on his chest.

A sudden fear surged in Li Ye's heart. He felt that if his martial arts hadn't transformed, this claw would have directly penetrated into his body, freezing all the body's functions in an instant.

He suddenly jumped back and swung the hammer in Li Ye's hand directly at the opponent.

Unfortunately, the hammer was useless. The headless evil spirit passed through the hammer body as if it had no entity, and pounced on Li Ye again.

"Clang, clang, clang." The two sides fought ten times in the blink of an eye, but Li Ye was beaten unilaterally.

No matter what moves he uses, he can't touch the opponent, but every attack from the headless evil spirit can fall on him.

Although the headless evil spirit could not break through Li Ye's body's instinctive defense for the time being, as more and more green and black marks appeared on Li Ye's body, Li Ye suddenly felt that he was getting colder and colder, and the surging energy and blood in his body seemed to begin to slow down.

It became silent.

At this moment, Li Ye suddenly felt a huge fear in his heart.

Can't fight! Can't run! Can only wait to die!

However, Li Ye suppressed this fear in an instant, and instead felt a little more courageous.

He had anticipated this possibility before, but so what.

Even if he dies, he will still stand till the end.

Even if you can't encounter the headless evil spirit, you should still try your best.

As long as you still have breath, you can never give up!

The hammer hit the headless evil spirit again, but it still passed through him.

But this time, his arm hit the broken spot on Wutou Xiexiu's neck hard.

At this time, Li Ye didn't notice at all that a weak flame was burning in his heart.

His courage, his determination to fight against the inevitable, all turned into fuel for the fire, and the fire burned stronger and stronger.

Li Ye didn't expect that he would actually hit Wutou Xixui this time.

However, he did not think about such insignificant things. He threw down the hammer and started fighting the evil spirit with both fists.

Every time Xie Sui's sharp claws grabbed his body, it would leave several blue and black marks, but his fist would also leave a burnt black fist mark when it landed on Xie Sui's body.

Li Ye suddenly realized that even if he could defeat Wutou Xie Sui, the outcome of this battle would still be uncertain.

Because Xie Sui's physique seemed to be stronger than his, his fists could not penetrate Xie Sui's body either.

But so what, compared to being beaten unilaterally, now at least there is a possibility of winning.

The desire for life ignited in Li Ye's eyes, and he began to concentrate, concentrating on avoiding the attacks of the headless evil spirit. If he couldn't avoid it, he would not let the evil spirit catch him in the same place.

Every time he dodges the headless evil spirit's attack, he will take advantage of the situation and punch him at the broken spot on the evil spirit's neck.

Time passed, and when Li Ye punched the fractured spot on Wutou Xiexiu's neck dozens of times, Wutou Xiexiu's body suddenly staggered, and a pool of dark, fishy blood gushed out from the fractured neck.

A sharp light flashed in Li Ye's eyes. Wutou Xie Sui was injured, which meant that he might be killed.

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Li Ye attacked the injured area one after another.

Wutou Xiexiu seemed to be unconscious and didn't know how to avoid deliberately. Li Ye's punches all landed in the same position.

Gradually, more and more black blood gushes out of Headless Xiexiu's wound, and his movements become slower and slower.

Li Ye persisted from being beaten unilaterally at the beginning, and finally started to gain the upper hand.

Once again, after forcibly bearing a claw from the headless evil spirit, Li Ye gathered strength and hit the wound heavily with a punch.

This punch actually hit Wutou Xiexiu's chest directly.

With a "boom" sound, a transparent flame ignited on the headless evil body.

It struggled hard in the flames, but could not move forward at all.

After a while, the flames gradually extinguished, and a sharp howl seemed to come from the headless evil belly, which turned into a line of blue smoke and dispersed.

At the same time, the Yin Qi in the yard seemed to have turned into sourceless water, going from strong to sparse, and finally disappeared completely.

"Huh..." Li Ye sat down on the ground, and for a while he didn't have the energy to get up at all.

"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!" Li Ye began to laugh, from a low laugh at the beginning, to a loud laugh, and in the end he was laughing so much that he couldn't even breathe.

In the silent night, I don’t know how far this laughter spread.

Fortunately, no one lived nearby, otherwise there would have been countless more people having nightmares that night.

After a long time, Li Ye stopped laughing and coughed hard.

Every time he coughed, a stream of cold air would come out of his mouth.

The cold air fell on the ground, and patches of frost began to form on the ground.

Li Ye was injured, seriously.

It's not an injury in the physical sense. The claw marks on his body are constantly exuding cold air.

The cold air surged from his skin into his body, attacking his internal organs, as if it was freezing him from the inside out.

Except for the burning fire in his heart, which was not affected, his other internal organs had varying degrees of cold injuries.

Fortunately, his physique has reached the level of metamorphosis, otherwise he would not be able to survive this kind of injury.

However, Li Ye only briefly observed and then ignored his injuries for the time being.

With his physique, he could survive such an injury for a long time.

He still has two more important things to do now, which are more important than healing his injuries.

Holding his feet to lift the hammer, Li Ye straightened up, closed his eyes and felt it silently.

At first, his eyes were dark. But gradually, he began to see a little red light emerging in the distance.

The red light was beating constantly, just like his heart.

As his attention continued to focus, gradually, the red light got closer and closer to him, and he saw it.

I saw a red flame burning in his heart!

Opening his eyes suddenly, he suddenly realized that it was the fire in his heart! He was burning with his courage as firewood!

Courage never fades, and the fire in the heart never goes out.

It was this inner fire that allowed his body to touch the headless evil spirit.

Tonight's inevitable death ending was changed precisely because of this inner fire.

"Master, thank you..."

After a long moment of silence, Li Ye came back to his senses. Then he called up the panel and looked at the new prompt that had just appeared suddenly.

[Kill the mortal-level evil spirit*1, gain Yin power*100]
