"Wu... journalist sir! What are you doing!?" Ah Yimu covered his mouth and asked in disbelief, eyes wide open.

Everyone present did not expect that the first thing Wu Liang would do after getting out of the car was to kill Hazati!

Clearly, he smiled when he saw the other party open the door to greet him, so how did it suddenly become like this?

Why? What happened?

"Hehe, Ah Yimu, it seems you underestimated the skills of the [Pioneer]. This No. 2 Village is not the same as when I last came," Wu Liang said, flicking the blood off the Mist Sword casually.

Before Ah Yimu could react, and while the nearby sentries were still at a loss about what to do, the first to take action was Hazati, who had already been pierced in the throat!

With blood-red eyes, he pulled out an extremely dark and bizarre-looking steel needle from his pocket.

He fiercely stabbed it into his thigh, causing an immediate sensation of piercing pain just from the sight.

"Ah... Lord Pioneer... did not deceive me... I feel wonderful now!" Hazati's voice gradually changed from a whimper to clear articulation.

As his voice recovered, an intimidating aura emanated from his body. His entire person inexplicably grew significantly taller. Originally about 1.8 meters, Hazati suddenly reached about 2.5 meters.

Not only that, but his skin began to gradually turn into the same dark black as that steel needle, with the color seemingly flowing like it was alive on the surface of his skin.

"Ah! Hazati..."

The sentry next to him was so frightened that he sat paralyzed on the ground, not knowing what to do.

As a member of Utopia, he had never truly been threatened by a supernatural event.

Under the curse cast by Yao Qingxue's Obsidian, even if supernatural events occasionally descended here, the fierce ghosts would leave because they sensed their surroundings were full of "their kind" with no living human presence.

So, to Utopian members, supernatural events were just things that scared them briefly and then disappeared.

Now, seeing his companion turn into something neither human nor ghost with his own eyes, the sentry even forgot to raise the gun in his hand.

"Is this... a Supernatural Object?"

Ah Yimu frowned, immediately getting out of the car, ready to retreat a distance.

Now, even a fool could see that there was something wrong with Hazati, and combined with what Wu Liang had just said, her greatest worry had come true—

The [Pioneer] had long extended his hand into Utopia No. 2 Village!

It seemed that after the Utopian members' shells had disconnected from their main bodies on the prairie, this guy did not immediately abandon this place.

Instead, taking advantage of Ah Yimu not being in the village, or perhaps while Wu Liang was still outside the cave, he started preparing the members lurking in the Utopian Village mentally ahead of time.

If Wu Liang hadn't acted first just now, perhaps Hazati would have brought them into the village, and then notified all the hidden members of the [Promised Land] to besiege them together!

"It's alright, no need to hide, he's not up to the mark." Wu Liang's voice wasn't loud, but it immediately put Ah Yimu at ease.

After all, she had already witnessed this young man's suffocating strength inside Bogda Peak.

"Hahaha, I haven't avenged you from last time yet! Lord Pioneer was right! You guys indeed came back to No. 2 Village! My two-night vigil on the watchtower wasn't wasted!" Hazati laughed wantonly.

He raised his hand, swollen enough to cover Wu Liang's entire head with a single palm, grinning as he imagined the scene of grabbing the opponent and making him struggle.

This is power! Praise Lord [Pioneer]!

"Oh, it seems like you're just a newly recruited fool of the [Promised Land], the [Pioneer] wouldn't be foolish enough to ambush me, would he?" Wu Liang said mildly.

Before Hazati could react to what this meant, waves of unbearable pain surged from his wrist, rapidly spreading throughout his body.

Thud——

Two severed arms fell to the ground, and Hazati looked at his hands in disbelief.

Then his entire field of vision, from that height of two meters or more, saw Wu Liang's shoes.

Eh? What happened?

This familiar scene made Ah Yimu couldn't help but hold her forehead and sigh, questioning whether Saintess Yao's son had some psychological disorder.

Why does he enjoy turning people into stumps so much?

Looking at the limbless Hazati before him, Wu Liang stepped on him and pondered, "Could it be that the [Pioneer] has turned you all into [Mental Cages]?"

That's the only reason he could think of for the [Pioneer] to send this group of weaklings to stop him.

Or is there something wrong with the Supernatural Objects on them?

After all, with the previous lesson from the [Desire Monkey Claw], he still wasn't entirely confident in certain special Supernatural Objects.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang couldn't help but take out the [Ghost Compendium] to see what Supernatural Object was on Hazati.

However, no matter how he looked, he couldn't find any information on the [Ghost Compendium].

"Heh, interesting."

Wu Liang picked up the severed arm nearby and began to examine it closely, the whole scene resembling a Demon King appreciating his enemies' pain and agony after a massacre.

After falling, the severed arm reverted to the appearance of a normal arm, showing none of its previous ferocity.

It seemed that the Supernatural Object only affected the parts of Hazati that were still attached to him, which meant that its main body should still be within him!

And beneath Wu Liang's foot, Hazati continued to struggle, the hatred and despair on his face almost unconcealable.

Why! Why can't I break free from this person!?

No! No!

Lord [Pioneer] wouldn't lie to me! He said I could kill this person who once humiliated me!

"Ah... Ah!"

Hazati suddenly began to scream, and turning to look it was the gray-white mist starting to form in Wu Liang's hand, wriggling like worms through the severed area into his blood vessels.

As if searching for something inside his veins, this excruciating pain continuously amplified the hatred in his mind.

"Found it, as expected, it's in the blood!"

As Wu Liang chuckled softly, he swiftly solidified the part of the mist that penetrated the other's blood vessels into a tangible form, yanking out the discovered item.

At the same moment, a bizarre blue flame ignited in Hazati's eyes.

The thing that was about to be pulled out by Wu Liang abruptly disappeared... no! It should be said it completely fused with Hazati!

At the same time, the [Ghost Compendium] lit up—[Hate Fuel]
