Chapter 50

Immediately following, Ma Le, relying on his strength advantage, quickly dragged Guirenwan into the pitch-black bridge tunnel. Guirenwan raised his blade to counterattack, but Ma Le blocked it with his iron fist. The monster's long sword was sharp enough to cut through Ma Le's iron fist armor, but with its momentum spent, it caused little damage. Ma Le grabbed Guirenwan's wrist with one hand and pulled out a fully loaded harpoon gun with the other, pressing it against Guirenwan's head, which was unprotected by armor, and fired. He then activated the electric shock!

The two were entangled, and the electric shock also affected Ma Le, but he endured the pain with his high physical strength and strong resistance, using his teeth to pull the trigger again, pressing the gun against the monster's head and firing once more! Second shot, electric shock, reload... Third shot, electric shock, reload...

After being hit three times, Guirenwan's head could no longer withstand the assault and was shattered and fell off. However, as a magic-based undead creature, it had no vital points, and even with its head destroyed, it was not dead! Ma Le simply pressed the harpoon gun against Guirenwan's neck, and the fourth shot penetrated its body, followed by another electric shock...

Finally, Guirenwan died. Ma Le received a notification from the Miracle Badge: "Congratulations on killing a high-level enemy. The current world difficulty is Beginner, and the enemy's strength is rated as Lord-level. Your level is Beginner, so you receive the full reward: 3000 credit points, 10 skill points, and 5 honor points." In addition, Guirenwan dropped a small blue box. Ma Le didn't have time to examine it carefully, so he picked it up and put it into his storage space, then transformed his appearance to Anderson and ran out of the bridge tunnel with the crowd.

All of this seems long, but in reality, from the moment Ma Le dragged Guirenwan into the cave to successfully killing him, it only took a dozen seconds. Including the time to escape, it didn't exceed twenty seconds. Therefore, when the adventurers from Hurricane City arrived, they only saw Guirenwan's headless corpse, still smoking.

Medea's shoulders trembled. She had already received the signal of Guirenwan's death, but seeing it with her own eyes was far more shocking than any system notification. Guirenwan had a strength of 45 points and nearly 1000 health points, a powerful creature that Medea had barely managed to subdue. Now, it had fallen in a Beginner-level world, how could she not be heartbroken?

Max placed his large hand on her small shoulder and comforted her in a deep voice, "Don't be sad. After this mission, we'll help you get an even stronger one..." Medea didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

"Where is Brad?" the old man suddenly frowned and asked. Max looked around, "I remember he was the first to rush in, where did he go?"

The old man's expression changed, and he quickly called through the Miracle Badge, "Brad, where are you!" A hoarse voice, characteristic of a vampire, came from the other end of the Miracle Badge, "Captain, I found the guy who injured me last time. I'm going to make him pay in blood! Don't worry, this time I'll succeed!" With that, Brad unilaterally ended the communication.

The old man's face turned angry, and he cursed, "This kid is too impulsive!" He slammed his cane into the ground, creating a small hole in the asphalt. Max consoled him, "The other side is only one person, and Brad is very strong. He'll be fine!" Before the old man could respond, Medea shook her head, "It's not that simple. The other side is a powerful expert who can instantly kill my Guirenwan. If that vampire underestimates him, he might suffer..."

The old man picked up the marker gun that Ma Le had left behind, examined it for a moment, and said, "A harpoon gun... no, it's a black-quality modified version. The other side is a powerful ranged attacker, and from the traces at the scene, he can suppress Guirenwan in close combat, so his strength should be comparable to Max... He's a tough opponent, maybe a hidden ordinary-level one?" As he spoke, the old man looked into the distance and muttered, "It might not be just a tough time..."

When the police arrived, the three adventurers from Hurricane City had already cleaned up and left, leaving only the bodies scattered in the street. The police were completely stunned by the hellish scene before them. They had initially thought the person who reported the ghost killing on the street was mentally unstable, but after multiple reports, the police finally responded, only to find the situation far more severe than they imagined!

The police chief was a black man in his fifties wearing glasses, known for his arrogance. But seeing this scene, he was speechless, his cigarette falling to the ground.

"Chief, what... what do we do?" a young police officer asked nervously.

"Do I need to say?" the chief shouted, "Call the fire department and the emergency center to assist in handling this... Damn it, we haven't even resolved the madman biting people, and now this kind of strange thing happens!"

As he was complaining, the chief suddenly noticed a body nearby move and slowly get up. "Go check it out!" he ordered a nearby officer, "Someone over there needs help!" Two officers hurried over and helped the "survivor" up. One officer asked with concern, "Sir, are you okay... ah!" In response, he received a mouth full of blood, and the "survivor" pounced on the officer, biting into his neck like a madman.

"How could this be..." the chief ordered, "Get a few people to pull that madman away!" But then he realized that it wasn't just this madman; the bodies on the entire street were gradually standing up, their eyes vacant, moving slowly, just like the biting madmen...

"Is this the truth behind the outbreak of the disease?" the chief muttered, thinking of the ghosts reported by the witnesses, "Is this the work of devils from hell coming to the human world..."

Medea's undead army, for the most part, had been modified with the T-virus, giving them the ability to infect...

On Ma Le's side, he fled all the way to the commercial district, confirming that no one was following him. He found a secluded alley and took out the small box dropped by Guirenwan. A homeless man lived in the alley, his home made of a few pieces of cardboard, and his bedding was a few old newspapers. Seeing Ma Le, who had just been in a fight and was covered in blood and dirt, the old beggar thought he was a rival coming to claim his territory and glared at him warily.

Ma Le paid no attention, opened the blue box, and reached inside, feeling a long, hard object. When he pulled it out, he couldn't help but exclaim in excitement, as it was the long sword used by Guirenwan!

The Miracle Badge scanned the sword, revealing its attributes:

Name: Ghost Blade

Quality: Famous

Type: Long Sword

Damage: 112 points

Sharpness: 8

Strength: 7

Power: 2

Length: 155 cm

Weight: 3.6 kg

Basic Effect 1: Sharp Weapon: This weapon has high sharpness, suitable for cutting flesh. It ignores 50% of the target's defense when attacking, with a priority level of 3. (This effect is a basic effect and does not require ownership to function.)

Basic Effect 2: Piercing: This weapon is long and thin, suitable for piercing attacks. When using a piercing attack, the sharpness is increased by 3. (This effect is a basic effect and does not require ownership to function.)

Effect 1: Ghost Blade: This weapon was used by a demon, and the countless killings have formed boundless resentment, which clings to the blade. When attacking, there is a 5% chance to release a demon that binds the target, preventing movement for up to three seconds, depending on the target's resistance and strength. This effect can be activated actively, releasing all the demons to bind the target for up to five seconds. After activation, the Ghost Blade effect and Soul Drain effect are temporarily disabled, with sharpness reduced by 3 and strength reduced by 2 for 24 hours.

Effect 2: Soul Drain: This weapon has the power to directly damage the spirit. When attacking, it drains 5 points of the target's spirit (not the spirit attribute), and this effect triggers once every two minutes.

Description: This sword was forged by a knife maker who was obsessed with making knives, using his life's work. Unfortunately, the knife maker's skills were mediocre, and the sword was not recognized by people. In a fit of anger, the knife maker committed suicide with the sword, and his resentment clung to the blade, making it exceptionally sharp, and it became known as the Ghost Blade.

Years later, the Ghost Blade was obtained by a master knife maker, who loved it and improved it with high-quality materials. However, just as the sword was completed, a group of bandits broke into the master's home, took the Ghost Blade, and killed the master. Since then, the resentment on the Ghost Blade has grown stronger, and its killing power has increased.

After many changes, the sword eventually came into the hands of a general. Later, the general died in battle, and the resentment on the sword transformed him into an undead zombie, forever wandering in the chaotic world. People gave this zombie general an apt nickname, calling him Guirenwan...

...

"Another black weapon, I'm rich! Hahaha..." Ma Le shouted excitedly. With such a powerful weapon, the small box's mission was complete, and the blue light disappeared, turning it into an ordinary wooden box. Ma Le casually threw it, and it rolled to the homeless man's feet.

The homeless man had watched Ma Le open the box and was amazed that such a small box could produce such a large sword. Now, with the box right in front of him, he quickly picked it up to search, but as soon as he touched it, the box turned to dust and blew away in the wind. The homeless man rubbed his eyes, suspecting he was hallucinating. But when he looked at Ma Le, he was still admiring and handling the long sword...

At that moment, a bone-chilling cold wind blew, making the homeless man shiver. He bent down to grab some old newspapers for warmth and suddenly found his newspapers pinned down by a shoe. The homeless man looked up to argue with the shoe's owner but couldn't even say a word before his jaw started trembling uncontrollably...

"Mon... monster... aaaaah..." The homeless man fled the alley in terror, wetting his pants. Ma Le had long sensed the enemy's arrival and knew he couldn't outrun someone with wings, so he calmly turned around.

Standing before him was a monster over two meters tall, with a fierce face, long pointed ears, sharp outward-curving fangs, and golden, fierce eyes. With its long limbs and large, fleshy wings, it was none other than the vampire Brad!
