The two fighters weren't very strong, and after Chu Linfeng used Earth Transformation to stealthily approach, he wasn't discovered. With his power, he could kill these two instantly, but he couldn't do that; he needed to get so useful information from them.
It wasn't easy to encounter the Ghost Race in this Land of the Dead, so naturally, he wouldn't miss this opportunity. Although the strengths of the two were similar, their fight seed quite thrilling.
"Why should we fight to the death here? It's better for us to team up and attack others; this way, the chances of winning are greater. If we fight to the death here and suddenly soone else arrives, wouldn't we beco soone else's spoils?" one of the Ghost Race mbers said.
The other Ghost Race mber also stopped, cautiously looking at the other as if to prevent a surprise attack. "You're right, it is indeed difficult in this Land of the Dead. We can't fly, and there are many monsters. If we unite, even if we can't complete the mission, at least our chances of survival are greater."
"I agree. Let's do this: we'll slowly organize so people to specifically target and attack lone individuals, and in the end, we'll evenly distribute the Wooden Tokens. How about that?" the first person said.
"That's a good plan. Let's go then. Fighting here for half a day won't get us anywhere, and might even attract others, causing us trouble," the other person said.
Chu Linfeng, hearing the two planning to leave from within the soil, imdiately erged and said, "Leaving already? Without leaving a Wooden Token, I can't let you leave."
Chu Linfeng's sudden appearance startled the two, who were on guard against him, with one asking, "Friend, who are you, and how did you erge from the soil like that? Did you hear what we just said?"
"Of course I heard, otherwise why would I appear? I initially intended to wait until you both were exhausted and then swoop in to reap the rewards, but it seems that's not possible now," Chu Linfeng laughed.
"You've calculated well, but unfortunately, you'll be disappointed. Since you know our plan, you have two choices: join us to strengthen our team, or surrender the Wooden Token and we'll spare your life," one person said.
"I would like to join your team, but your strength is too weak, and I can't afford such a disgrace; besides, I'm used to acting alone, so I won't agree to your first condition.
As for the second one, I do want to oblige, but there's only one Wooden Token. Who should I give it to? If you're not careful, you might fight over it again, which is not good. So I have a better solution to this problem," Chu Linfeng laughed.
"What solution? Tell us," one person asked, not paying much attention to Chu Linfeng's answer.
"The solution is actually simple: give the Wooden Token to , and there will be no further fighting. I'm doing it for your own good," Chu Linfeng said seriously, although he was laughing so hard inside that his stomach hurt.
"You brat, you're courting death by tricking us!" One of the Ghost Race mbers could no longer bear it, feeling as if he and his companion were being toyed with.
The longsword in his hand swiftly struck towards Chu Linfeng. As for this Ghost Race's strength, Chu Linfeng was utterly disdainful, as his defense power was just that heaven-defying. Even if the opponent struck with full force, they might not be able to break through his defense.
"Bang!" The longsword directly struck Chu Linfeng, and that Ghost Race mber thought this strike could take Chu Linfeng's life, while in his mind he thought about how soone with such low strength dared to covet their Wooden Token.
But just when this thought erged, reality shocked him. He knew exactly how powerful his strike was since even a large rock would be shattered by it. Yet, the person before him wasn't hurt at all.
What shocked him the most was that this strike had an enormous rebound force, instantly breaking his wrist. The whole person flew backward quickly, and the longsword in his hand fell to the ground. A mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth, and he couldn't get up for a long ti.
All of this happened in a flash. The other Ghost Race mber didn't react before seeing that the one who had been equally matched with him was now severely injured. This could only an the boy before him was even stronger, so strong that he had no choice but to escape.
Thinking of this, he turned and ran. Not being able to fly at this mont was a most frustrating thing for him, though he ran with all his might at a very fast speed. However, Chu Linfeng was not bothered, as even if he let the opponent run for half an hour, it'd be fine.
At this mont, he walked up to the Ghost Race mber and laughed: "How does it feel? Now, shouldn't you hand over the Wooden Token?"
The Ghost Race mber kept retreating, full of fear while looking at Chu Linfeng, asking, "Who exactly are you? There's no one like you in the Ghost Race."
"Who I am doesn't matter. What's important is that you're as good as dead now. I gave you a chance, but you failed to seize it, leaving only the option of compensating with your life." After saying this, Chu Linfeng's Cyan Frost Sword appeared in his hand, and an Earth Slash was imdiately sent out.
The powerful Sword Qi struck the opponent's body, and this blow left him half-dead. Chu Linfeng didn't rush to kill him but began using the Star Absorption Technique to absorb his Ghost Qi. This guy's Ghost Qi wasn't bad, better than many Ghost Race mbers he'd absorbed before.
Painful cries echoed from the Ghost Race mber's mouth, and shortly after, the Ghost Qi was absorbed completely by Chu Linfeng, turning the individual into a creature with half its body devoid of muscle, resembling a skeleton fra but not yet dead.
Chu Linfeng felt very satisfied with his work. "Ti to finish you off!" The Cyan Frost Sword in his hand swung again, instantly shattering the skeleton fra into pieces scattered all over the ground.
After finding the Ghost Race mber's Storage Ring, Chu Linfeng took out the Wooden Token and so Nether Stones. As for the other Elixirs, he didn't need any of them given his strength.
After finishing all this, his figure flickered and used Instant Teleportation to leave the spot, needing to deal with another survivor for another Wooden Token.
From a distance, Chu Linfeng saw the fleeing Ghost Race mber, but the guy wasn't running at the mont and was slowly walking on the road. He might have thought Chu Linfeng wouldn't pursue him anymore and thus didn't flee.
Chu Linfeng, however, waited quietly in front of him about a mile away. A large rock blocked his figure completely, making it hard to be discovered.
Very soon, the Ghost Race mber arrived in front of the rock. Chu Linfeng's figure flashed and stopped him, smiling, "Why so slow? I've been waiting for you for quite a while."
Chu Linfeng's appearance startled the Ghost Race mber into a stagger, nearly falling to the ground, looking at Chu Linfeng full of horror, asking, "How, how can you appear here?" (To be continued)
