No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Although they can still accumulate evolution points, the difference between them and other evolved beings who have completed their ascension is like heaven and earth, not to mention those even more powerful evolved beings who can undergo a second ascension after level twelve.

Below level six, he could still act arrogantly and domineeringly; above level six, he was destined to be nothing more than a nobody.

Is it really worth it for a level three enemy?

Besides, if we give up now, wouldn't our wife and daughter have been taken advantage of for nothing?

"Damn it... damn it all..."

Under the influence of the huge sunk cost effect, the abbot was stuck and hesitant.

Just then, the beacon he had left at the main gate of Yunfu Temple suddenly sounded an alarm.

Evolvers of level six or above have entered his territory, their strength far exceeding that of himself before he set up the beacon in seclusion!

"We can't delay any longer..."

Despite the immense heartache, the abbot finally made a decision.

He's sacrificing the pawn to save the king!

The moment he made his decision, the progress bar for sublimation began to recede like a receding tide.

All the effort and resources he poured into it were destroyed in an instant.

In return, he has regained his mobility, and now that he is just one step away from achieving ascension, the strength he can unleash has reached the pinnacle that a level 6 un-ascended evolver can achieve.

Despite feeling this unprecedentedly powerful force, the abbot felt no joy whatsoever.

All that remained in his heart was an overwhelming hatred for Jiang Shu.

"You villain, you ruined my future, ruined my business, ruined my family..."

Amidst the ruins, Jiang Shu, oblivious to the slightest danger, was still wondering why the abbot had suddenly become silent.

While remaining vigilant against the abbot's counterattack, he glanced at the unconscious, half-dead human-faced weasel.

After thinking for a moment, he tossed the hammer handle to the hammer puppet.

The hammer puppet did not catch it, letting the hammer handle fall to the ground.

He actually didn't intend to keep it anymore.

"Bring me the spindle." Jiang Shu reached out to the spindle puppet.

"Master..."

The spindle puppet was extremely unwilling.

"Put on the thick thread!" Jiang Shu's voice was unquestionable, and his words sent chills down the spines of the four puppets: "Did you think this was the end of it? Once this thing gets wet, the friction is much greater than that of the hammer handle. I'd like to see if he can still calm down."

Just as Jiang Shu, like a sniper, closed one eye and aimed with the spindle.

suddenly.

"careful!"

A loud shout came from afar.

The next moment, the Four Heavenly Kings were instantly shattered.

A large hand covered in yellow hair emerged from the ground, pointing directly at Jiang Shu's chest...

"It's not far now; we can already sense that aura."

Even while running at top speed, the office worker still managed to hold his glasses steady to prevent them from slipping off, clearly indicating that this speed was not his limit.

The man in sunglasses had already taken them off and stuffed them into his pocket.

"Do you really have to hold it up? Can't you just take it off and put it away properly like I do?"

"Nonsense, how can I see the road if I take it off?"

"It's hard to imagine your signature move being called 'Hawk Eye'..."

"Shut up!"

The two bickered as they avoided the crowds and headed straight through the dense forest along the more difficult but still straight mountain path.

The Overlord had long since disappeared, leaving them far behind.

"How long has it been?" the man in sunglasses asked.

"It has been one minute and forty seconds since we received the order. Including the time it took for the fluctuation to be detected and the mission to be issued to us, about five minutes have passed since the fluctuation occurred."

“Five minutes...anything can happen.” The man in sunglasses pondered, “Forget it, let’s not wait for him. Let him clean up the mess after we’re done, that will be considered as him having been involved.”

"Ah."

The two figures, already blurry, accelerated again, moving like the wind through the mountains.

Half a minute later, the two finally stepped into Yunfu Temple.

Everywhere you look, there are weasel carcasses.

Some were headless, some were left with only half a body, none of them were left with a complete corpse.

The male clerk adjusted his glasses and said expressionlessly, "It's obviously the work of someone with a courage-type spiritual root; it's crude and violent."

"You're discriminating against people with spiritual roots again." The man in sunglasses rolled up his sleeves. "If you keep doing this, I'm really going to have to take control of you."

Clearly, the man in sunglasses is also an evolved being with the courage-type spiritual root.

The office worker ignored him, looked around, and immediately confirmed the direction: "Over there."

When they arrived at the scene, their expressions immediately turned strange.

From afar, they saw a young man holding a spindle, gesturing at a weasel that was inexplicably suspended in mid-air.

Not far away, a young woman in tattered clothes lay on the ground, unconscious.

what's the situation?

This kind of scene easily makes people feel that this is the person they are looking for.

Fortunately, when Xue Wang reported the case, she gave the person on the other end of the line a detailed description of the situation, including her and Jiang Shu's physical characteristics.

Furthermore, it's clear from the sunglasses-wearing man and the office worker that although Jiang Shu is an evolved being, he's incredibly weak.

For evolved beings like them, who are capable of leading an execution team and carrying out dangerous missions alone, judging the strength of a low-level evolved being is as simple as an old woman recognizing at a glance which of the people who came to the bar today are genuine and which are just there to join in the fun.

However, Jiang Shu's bizarre behavior was enough to leave even those who were used to big scenes speechless.

"The person who reported the crime?" the man in sunglasses asked, somewhat surprised.

"It should be." The clerk replied while activating his skill.

His eyes suddenly turned blue as he searched for the so-called Ascended One.

"careful!"

He suddenly roared.

Just as he loudly reminded Jiang Shu, the man in sunglasses had already disappeared from the spot.

Almost simultaneously, a long-haired, monstrous hand suddenly burst from the ground and reached for Jiang Shu's heart.

Too late!

The man in sunglasses, who was rushing to rescue Jiang Shu, and the office worker, who was constantly analyzing and judging everything that changed in his field of vision, both made the same judgment at the same time.

The man in sunglasses was able to subdue Jiang Shu after the Ascended attacked him, but he definitely wouldn't have had time to save Jiang Shu before that.

Damn it, I shouldn't have stopped because of curiosity...

The man in sunglasses thought with annoyance, almost able to foresee the miserable state the other person would be in next.

Why do you do performance art for no reason?

It seems all I can do is help you get revenge...

Just then, a withered yellow leaf fell from the branch.

But after the root broke off, it did not fall; instead, it mysteriously paused in mid-air for a moment.

The man in sunglasses vaguely sensed something.

It was as if, for some unknown reason, the world in his eyes suddenly went blank for a moment.

Did I just zone out?

At a time like this... I actually spaced out?!

He was utterly astonished.

Wasn't that weasel right in front of that man?

Was it because I was looking at it from the wrong angle?

Why is it stuck to his chest now?

Then he saw that behind the hairy, monstrous hand, a giant, humanoid weasel emerged halfway out of the ground and snatched the unconscious weasel from Jiang Shu's hand.

He stared at Jiang Shu with resentment, as if trying to memorize his appearance.

"Where do you think you're going?" the man in sunglasses shouted. Sensing the other's intention to retreat, he didn't have time to think and reached out to grab him.

But just then, a fear from the depths of his soul suddenly enveloped him.

Immediately afterwards, his speed decreased for a moment.

Even if it's just a little bit, it's enough to be fatal for the sunglasses-wearing man who has pushed his speed to the limit, enough to cause a slight discordant stagnation in his rhythm.

The disruption of rhythm triggered a brief period of weakness, ultimately causing his movements to slow down by half a beat.

Although he quickly recovered and performed normally under the pressure of fear, his movements seemed to be completely unaffected.

But the office worker had already realized that the final result would be off by a hair's breadth.

Sure enough, before the man in sunglasses could even touch the abbot's clothes, the abbot, who had just snatched his wife back from Jiang Shu, had no intention of lingering and was already fleeing in the opposite direction.

One step behind leads to another. Although the man in sunglasses can temporarily suppress the weakened influence, given the ebb and flow of power, he probably has no chance of catching up with the abbot.

Just then.

"Marks!"

Jiang Shu drew his right hand into a blade and thrust it viciously into the abbot's throat.

He had been waiting for this opportunity.

The one second of time stop that the dead man's pocket watch could create was not used to escape. Instead, he moved the human-faced weasel to his chest, placing it between the abbot's claws and his own heart, forcing the abbot to choose between the two.

In the end, the abbot chose his wife and did not pierce Jiang Shu along with her.

Forcibly withdrawing his strength caused a crack in the abbot's rhythm.

So, while the abbot was distracted by the man in sunglasses and focused on escaping, he completely ignored Jiang Shu, whom he believed was utterly incapable of breaking through his defenses.

Jiang Shu seized this opportunity and made his move.

After adding all the remaining 12 evolution points to Strength, and having already allocated two points to Strength in order to control the human-faced weasel, his Strength value reached an astonishing 58 points, pushing it to 10.

The abbot actually felt threatened at that moment.

He looked at Jiang Shu in horror, wondering why he had suddenly unleashed such power.

This is almost comparable to some level 5 evolvers who specifically allocate all their evolution points to strength and physical power!

If I were to be hit squarely by this blow, although I wouldn't be seriously injured, it would definitely slow down my escape speed!

In a moment of desperation, the abbot used his wife, whom he had just rescued, to shield him.

The poor weasel with a human face was thus used as a human shield by Jiang Shu and the abbot.

Unfortunately, Jiang Shu was not the abbot and would not care about her safety.

Furthermore, Jiang Shu, whose speed is only 2, didn't have time to change his move at all.

Jiang Shu's spear pierced the human-faced weasel's body hard.

Bang!

The human-faced weasel exploded in mid-air, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

After this initial obstruction, by the time Jiang Shu's finger reached the abbot, he had already dodged it using his superior speed, and the finger only struck the abbot's shoulder.
