I Can See Experience Points

"You really think I’m afraid of you?" Having dealt with the reinforcement issue by calling in other Cleaner squads to share the burden, He Xiaotian could now free up his hands to deal with the monstrous Liang Kun.

’So what if he looks a little disgusting?’

’Come on, come on! Let your grandpa here give you some plastic surgery with these hammers and save you, a poor lamb who has strayed onto the Demon Path.’

Bending his knees, He Xiaotian shot forward like a spring, launching himself at the charging Liang Kun.

He gripped the iron hammers in each hand and, with all his might, brought them crashing down from above.

A brutal, vicious aura radiated from the massive hammerheads.

Liang Kun was furious, but he wasn’t an idiot.

He knew this was the kind of force that could total a specially modified SUV with just two strikes; there was no way he would take the hit head-on.

One had to admit, a man with eight legs was incredibly agile.

He actually managed to pull off a slick sideways dodge while charging at high speed.

BOOM!

The ground trembled and cracked, sending rubble flying.

Cyan flames crisscrossed, erupting outward in all directions like a fiery tornado.

Liang Kun shielded his side with his arms, but the violent shockwave sent him flying back more than ten meters.

He left eight deep gashes in the ground, like marks from sharp blades.

Meanwhile, He Xiaotian retrieved the hammer he had just thrown.

With both hammers in hand, he instantly felt like something he had lost was returned to him.

SCHLICK!

!?

He Xiaotian stared, completely dumbfounded, as Liang Kun gouged out his own eyeball.

’What are you doing?’

’You don’t have to resort to self-mutilation just because you can’t beat me!’

"Go. Gather all the Mirror Spirits for the final carnival. Slaughter the remaining villagers of Zhou family Village and the strange adepts you’ve captured. Let them be the sacrifice to welcome the supreme king of the Gourmet Kitchen."

WHOOSH!

Numerous tentacles abruptly sprouted from the eyeball. It nodded at Liang Kun, then shot straight up into the sky.

...

’I call foul! That’s blatant cheating!’

’Even though Laozi here has practiced Qinggong, I sure as hell can’t fly!’

"Come on. I just need to hold you here for half an hour. Even if the other Cleaners find us, it’ll be too late. By then, the Gluttonous King will descend upon Shanghai, and all of you will be turned into delicacies to reward his most loyal subjects."

Liang Kun’s face was fanatical, looking every bit the brainwashed cultist.

He Xiaotian wanted to facepalm. ’How fucking old are you?’

’Still acting like some edgy teenager!’

BOOM!

He Xiaotian stomped his foot, unleashing his power.

He shot forward like a bolt of lightning, appearing before Liang Kun in an instant.

"Die!"

His twin hammers, carrying unstoppable power, descended, aimed for a killing blow.

SWISH!

The eight sharp spider legs suddenly moved to block.

BOOM!

He had once again dodged the death-dealing hammers.

...

’So what if you have eight legs?’

’Okay, fine, having eight legs really does let you do whatever you want.’

’As long as you can’t catch me, you can’t kill me.’

"Again!"

He Xiaotian swung his left arm, and the massive hammer flew out, heading straight for the smug-looking Liang Kun standing off to the side.

Before he could even begin to dodge, the hammer in He Xiaotian’s right hand was sent flying right after it.

SWISH!

CRASH!

The smug expression on Liang Kun’s face froze.

He looked down at the hole that had appeared in his abdomen, momentarily lost in confusion.

’My speed is so fast... how did you hit me?’

He Xiaotian was very gratified. His +5 Insight from the *Secret Dream Observation Achievement Method - Dharma Eye Section* had not been in vain.

He had used his extreme vision to observe his opponent’s movements, predict the direction of his next dodge, and launch a second attack accordingly.

"You damn bastard, go to hell with your previous accomplice!"

He crossed his palms, and one hundred and thirty years of Inner Strength surged like a mighty river.

The cyan flames on his body grew even hotter.

They even illuminated half of Zhou family Village.

Iron Sand Palm—Iron Ox Pushes the Mountain!

BOOM!

He Xiaotian charged at Liang Kun like a speeding train, like a rhinoceros in heat, pushing forward with unparalleled ferocity.

In his wake, the earth was instantly scorched black.

The sheer force of his aura scraped away the top layer of the soil.

BANG!

A pair of palms, as if forged from fine steel, slammed violently into his chest.

The force was immense, the power as sharp as an ox’s horn, capable of shattering earth and stone, utterly unstoppable.

CRACK!

A century’s worth of Inner Strength erupted forth.

The monstrous Liang Kun, like a shattered mirror, instantly broke apart, turning into chunks of flesh and gore.

[Ding! Killed specially modified adept Liang Kun. Gained 9000 Experience Points.]

’Is it because he lost his Dream Eye, causing his rating to drop drastically?’

"Ptui!"

He Xiaotian picked up his hammers from amidst the chunks of flesh and spat on the ground.

’Eating people is unforgivable.’

’Giving so few Experience Points is even more unforgivable.’

"I have no idea who gave you the confidence to think you could tie me up for half an hour."

You shouldn’t make such bold declarations. Less than a minute after saying his piece, Liang Kun was reduced to a pile of gore.

From inside the Kui Family Inn, Lei Yang and the others emerged with grim expressions.

With the death of the person who cast the barrier, the black membrane restricting them naturally couldn’t be maintained.

Similarly, Zheng Peng’s solid ice couldn’t hold these guys.

’You Cleaners are a damn jinx!!’

’The first time, at the Z County slaughterhouse, I met Zhao Lei and Zhou Yun, and those two slacked off.’

’The second time, at the abandoned factory in Z County, I met Zheng Peng’s group of three, and they all slacked off.’

’The third time, at Villa A01 in Shanghai’s Imperial Palace Garden, you guys continued to slack off.’

’Now, at Zhou family Village on the G02X Expressway, four of you are slacking, one is a traitor, and one fell for an Illusion Technique and became an accomplice.’

’So, did I, He Xiaotian, do something to offend you guys in a past life or what?’

Zhou Yun held a portable detector in her hands. Her face was pale, and sweat dripped from the tip of her nose.

"Captain Lei, they’re... they’re all..."

On the tablet-sized detector, countless red dots were blinking.

If someone with trypophobia were to see this, it would surely cause a personal tragedy.

He Xiaotian’s expression wasn’t looking good either. There were so, so many evil spirits. He could foresee a huge wave of Experience Points beckoning to him.

But he pitied the villagers inside and the innocent people Liang Kun had mentioned were captured.

In that instant, a hundred thoughts flashed through his mind.

’I absolutely cannot let my family encounter something like this.’

’After this is all over, I’ll pay a visit to the Taoist Alliance.’

’I’ll get a Protective Talisman and a deity statue to guard the house!’

’They won’t give them to me?’

’Sorry, but I’ll just have to take them by force!’

’As for the villagers... there’s nothing I can do.’

’I can only do my best to rescue them. After all, who would have thought there was a mole in the Cleaner organization?’

He, He Xiaotian, was no savior. He was just a lucky guy who got an Experience Points system.

"The three of you, get in the car, drive out of Zhou family Village, and wait for backup from the organization."

"Captain Lei?"

Lei Yang waved his hand, stopping Zhao Lei, who was supporting Zheng Peng and about to speak.

"You haven’t taken the Spiritual Power potion, so your resistance to the Dream Eye Illusion Skill is practically zero. Staying here won’t help us; it will only cause trouble."

The atmosphere at this moment was indeed a bit depressing.

Regardless of whether the "Gourmet Kitchen" Liang Kun spoke of had successfully completed its sacrifice and summoned the so-called Gluttonous King...

The only difference would be the number of casualties.

"This is the new era. We’re in the middle of a tidal wave, and all we can do is our best to protect the people. We can’t make grand promises that not a single person will be harmed."

"I don’t want to discuss the great tidal wave of the new era. I just want to know if you guys are going to slack off again," He Xiaotian retorted mercilessly. ’Every single time, I’m the one doing all the work while you guys stand by and watch the show.’

"Don’t worry. Absolutely not this time."

As his voice fell, flickers of lightning appeared around Lei Yang’s body.

Captain Su, standing beside him, dissolved into a pitch-black shadow and vanished into the darkness.

Just as he had said, they would give their all to save the villagers and the innocent.

At the very least, when the people were suffering, they had stepped forward. Their consciences were clear.
