While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

Yang Ding looked at the floor tiles he had smashed, dusted himself off, and stretched his limbs, only to find that he hadn't suffered any real damage, just some scrapes.

"You're such a bullshit!"

Several shouts of "Catch-22, Main Road Rescue!" and sounds of fierce fighting could be heard from the main road.

Mao Jian's voice came through the earphones, "Brother Ding, those two parasites have disappeared."

"Never mind, everyone come down and provide support."

"Okay, we only have 30 floors left before we come down."

Yang Ding was worried about everyone's safety and was just about to go to their aid when he was attacked by a barrage of hidden weapons raining down from the sky.

With a single sweeping sword strike, he knocked down all the hidden weapons, only to discover that they were just a jumble of miscellaneous iron objects.

Nails, scissors, knives and forks may not seem very lethal, but if they hit a vital spot, it can be fatal or seriously injured.

A man wearing iron shoes floated down, and a woman was still standing on the treetop that had been almost bald by Yang Ding.

"Were you the one who fell from the sky and almost hit me?"

The man was very displeased; he had thought the guy was dead, but he had gotten up again.

"Just the two of you? Where's the other one?"

Why did you launch the attack tonight?

As Yang Ding spoke, he retreated to the wall while quickly tightening the belt of his leather jacket.

The strength of the metal-type parasite is unclear, but the leather jacket should be able to block most of the attacks from the wood-type ability user.

Wood itself isn't very hard, which is a disadvantage for wood-type ability users.

Only S-rank individuals can use their mental power to enhance trees, creating an attack force as hard as iron.

Metal-based superpowers are quite disgusting; metal objects can appear from anywhere to attack, making them impossible to defend against.

Mao Jian got a nail stuck in his buttock because the nail was in his heel.

"I only found out today that the people sweeping the building weren't some law enforcement team, but rather freshmen who caused us a huge commotion. You damned Earthlings' patrons."

The wood-type parasite looked upstairs and said, "Honey, his teammates are catching up. Don't waste time talking to him, just kill them and get out of the city."

These two got married sometime during the day.

Parasites are just as intelligent as humans, but simpler. They have no gender and therefore no desires. They form couples purely for cooperation.

They have only two missions: first, to find a planet with life; second, to frantically absorb spiritual energy.

"Attack together!"

The female parasite simply raised her hands, and the broken branches transformed into more than a dozen sharp wooden spears.

The male parasite then summoned all the ironware that Yang Ding had knocked to the ground, including the black gold sword in Yang Ding's hand.

Given Yang Ding's style, he should have attacked quickly to disrupt their rhythm, since the distance was within his capabilities.

But he did not do that.

The greatest advantage of concealing your strength is that it makes your opponent careless, and carelessness can be fatal.

"kill!"

As the male parasite released a hundred iron weapons, the female parasite released a dozen wooden spears.

"The sword sweeps across the wilderness, stars hang low."

With a roar, Yang Ding unleashed a sword-sweeping technique with 130% experience points and over 4 jin of force at the mid-stage of the third rank.

First, swing the wooden spear at the male parasite, then sweep a hundred iron weapons at the female parasite.

"Holy crap, those cunning humans!"

They couldn't control the materials attacking them and could only frantically try to help their teammates out of the predicament.

This naturally gave Yang Ding an opportunity to attack.

With a sweeping sword strike, Yang Ding cleaved all the wooden spears in two, and his black gold sword pierced straight for the male parasitic beast's neck.

The male parasite immediately focused all its mental energy, controlling the black gold sword at a distance of twenty centimeters from its neck.

"Honey, I'm going to hold him off, you quickly attack the back of his head."

"Hmph, you dare to challenge me!"

Yang Ding let out a cold laugh, suddenly withdrew the black gold sword, and lunged forward, pointing his left finger at the gun and aiming it at Yang Ding's brow.

The male parasite sneered, "Foolish human, with your meager cultivation, you think you can kill me with just two fingers?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a burst of true energy blasted a large hole in his head, and a golden beast crystal popped out from the back of his head.

Yang Ding swept aside the wooden spears attacking from behind, picked up the beast crystal, and pounced on the female parasitic beast.

Knowing she was no match for Yang Ding, the female parasite tried to fly away on her wooden clogs.

But the treetop was only about ten meters high. Yang Ding lightly leaped up and swept his sword towards the female parasitic beast's two legs.

"The sword sweeps through the forest like a whirlwind!"

The female parasite had clearly flown away, and the sword tip hadn't even touched her skin, but her feet were neatly severed, separated from her body, and fell to the ground along with her wooden clogs.

The female parasite's mental energy instantly dissipated, causing her to lose her balance and fall downwards.

"Sword energy?"

This was the first time Yang Ding had unleashed his sword energy.

He thrust the sword downwards into her mouth and out from the back of her head.

When the black gold sword was pulled out, the corpse of the parasitic beast was also brought out.

Only after getting the two gold beans did Mao Jian and the others run down.

Upon seeing the two corpses, everyone exclaimed in disbelief.

"Brother Ding, what did your wife feed you? How come your cultivation is progressing so fast?"

"Yeah, Captain Yang, this gold-type parasite is at least C+ rank, maybe even B rank. It's really strong, okay?"

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me."

Yang Ding led more than a dozen team members and rushed toward the sound of fighting.

"Big Dragon, Big Dragon, are you still alive?"

"Brother-in-law, how can you curse your brother-in-law like that? How can you face my sister?"

"I want to inherit your father's estate."

"With my father's status, how could he only have two children? They have two more children in Donghai City. Do you think it's up to you, this scheming son-in-law?"

Which building?

"I was in the corner of the lobby of Building 72 when my calf was pierced by an ice arrow from a water-type parasite."

Yang Ding stopped and glanced at the building number before sprinting toward Building 72.

Shouts could be heard incessantly on the main road of the community.

Fireballs rained down everywhere, ice spikes and arrows aimed at your head at any moment, and every piece of metal falling from the ground could strike your lower body.

Mao Jian gripped his shield, growing increasingly uneasy as he ran. "Brother Ding, why are all these guys out here tonight?"

"It must be because we intensified our search efforts that they knew they would be discovered sooner or later, and they prepared to leave the city to hide."

"There are law enforcement teams patrolling the city walls; it can't be that easy."

"So they'll fight back fiercely, so be careful."

The battle at the entrance of Building 72 was extremely fierce, with seven or eight law enforcement officers injured or killed.

A fire-type parasite, a metal-type parasite, and an earth-type parasite employed an air-based tactic.

They flew fifty meters in the air, stepping on protective plates of their respective elements, constantly throwing fireballs, steel bars, and large bricks down.

The exterior wall of the 76th floor has been demolished by earth-type parasitic beasts, covering hundreds of square meters. If this continues, the building will collapse.

They bullied the students and law enforcement team in this community because they were of low caliber and couldn't jump 50 meters high.

"Fang Dalong, are you inside?"

"I'm here, brother-in-law, be careful."

Upon hearing Yang Ding's voice, the three parasitic beasts began to attack him.

Three substances rained down from the sky, bombarding us relentlessly, creating a truly unpleasant experience.

Mao Jian and his teammates, carrying shields, protected Yang Ding and retreated step by step.

"Holy crap, Ding-ge, you must be a big star in the Parasite world."
