Chapter 146: Chapter 144 The Encirclement Begins

Since his constitution was not inherently strong, the area where the Fierce Spirit might truly excel was likely in its abilities.

After advancing to Disaster Level, Qin Shuang had two special abilities.

One of which was an ability all Fierce Spirits possessed, which did not require the use of a ring to utilize.

This ability was the Illusory Labyrinth.

It could disturb a person’s senses, causing confusion in their spatial perception, and result in them getting lost as though in a labyrinth.

This ability also had another name, Ghost Hitting Wall!

Ghost Hitting Wall can be considered standard issue for every Fierce Spirit; those with weak inspirations would almost certainly meet their demise if they fell into it.

However, Qin Shuang’s Illusory Labyrinth was stronger than that of an ordinary Fierce Spirit. He could remodel the Illusory Labyrinth, inducing some miraculous changes that could also affect regular superpower users.

After testing this ability, Wen Wen waited for a full ten minutes before switching back to the vampire state, ready to test Qin Shuang’s other ability.

This ability was the original Cold Qi emission.

The expression of the ability was almost the same as before, but the intensity was worlds apart; previously, even at full force, the Cold Qi could only freeze ordinary people stiff, otherwise, those three middle school students wouldn’t have escaped initially.

But now, the Cold Qi released by Qin Shuang was much more concentrated, even able to instantly solidify water into ice, naturally, it could also instantaneously solidify blood!

After some thought, Wen Wen snapped his fingers twice, and water formed into a sphere behind him. With a squirming motion, it solidified into a dozen water spikes.

With a wave of his hand, he sent these water spikes forward and then activated his freezing ability, turning them all into ice spikes!

The haphazard ice spikes stuck in the wall were a somewhat terrifying sight.

"Tsk, they only look intimidating, but are just mediocre in power, not even as good as firing a shotgun blast with a Pack of Wolves. However, when it comes to concealing one’s identity, this move is quite suitable."

"If I catch a few more Fierce Spirits and blend their abilities, maybe I can pose as a Demon Hunter with an extraordinary talent."

"That would be another great cover, heh heh."

...

After testing Qin Shuang’s abilities, Wen Wen began to plan his strategy. He had to deal with Yan Biqing within one day.

"I can’t just rely on the Hunters Association, I need to resolve him on my own. The Hunters Association’s target is too prominent, and I can’t disclose the existence of Gao Fang to them. With them around, there are many things I can’t conveniently do, making it difficult to overcome him."

"The helpers I can find are Gong Baoding and Zhu Qipei... but Zhu Qipei is too conspicuous, even if he agrees not to reveal any information, it could still lead people to suspect me."

"So, this is the only way forward."

After carefully planning for a while, Wen Wen set an action plan.

Then, using the authority of a Catastrophe Prison Warden within the Sanctuary, he sent a message to Gong Baoding, asking him to find time to come to the Sanctuary, as there was a mission for him to undertake.

After over an hour, Gong Baoding stood before Wen Wen.

Having witnessed the power Wen Wen displayed to the outside world, Gong Baoding acted even more humbly.

With time pressing, Wen Wen wasted no time exhibiting a strongman’s poise in front of Gong Baoding, and went straight to issuing the mission.

"Listen, I have a mission for you."

Gong Baoding’s expression turned odd, hoping it wasn’t another errand like buying things, which he did not wish to perform again.

"This time it’s a formal mission," Wen Wen added.

Only then did Gong Baoding begin to look forward to it.

"This person is your containment target. I’ll give you one day. By tomorrow, have him captured in the sanctuary,"

Wen Wen conjured a human figure out of black energy. Gong Baoding glanced at it and was immediately stunned.

"This man is very powerful; I’m no match for him. And isn’t one day a bit too rushed?"

The figure was unmistakably Yan Biqing.

Wen Wen shook his head and said, "Don’t worry, tomorrow I will have another Containment Officer assist you. After you’ve located this person, inform him of the location, and the two of you will act together."

The "another Containment Officer" he mentioned was, of course, himself, but he wouldn’t approach the task with his true identity. Instead, he would use a disguise to aid Gong Baoding in his mission.

It just so happened that Qin Shuang had successfully advanced to Disaster Level, and Wen Wen could make use of this disguise to carry out the operation.

"But..."

Gong Baoding still found it unrealistic. Their association had been pursuing him for several days without success, and now Wen Wen was casually ordering them to capture Yan Biqing within a day.

"Rest assured, I will provide some assistance. Just proceed with confidence," Wen Wen reassured him.

Gong Baoding asked doubtfully, "If you’re willing to help, why not take action personally? As long as you..."

Wen Wen pondered for two seconds then waved his sleeve, turned around, and said in a low voice, "The time isn’t right yet, the moment hasn’t come."

With that single sentence, Gong Baoding was persuaded.

In his mind, he had already conjured up many possible reasons.

Conspiracies, strategies, plans, and such—he imagined countless scenarios.

"As expected of someone with Catastrophe Level strength, he is truly inscrutable," Gong Baoding inwardly remarked.

What he didn’t know was that Wen Wen could not come up with any good reasons to fob him off, so he simply brushed it off casually.

After Gong Baoding left, Wen Wen gave Zhu Qipei a call.

He couldn’t involve him in the operation against Yan Biqing, but he could have him do some other tasks. After all, the most important aspect of the operation wasn’t the battle with Yan Biqing.

Once all plans were laid out, Wen Wen let out a sigh of relief.

The necessary preparations had been made. Now, it was time to wait for an opportunity.

...

The next day, at 4 a.m., Wen Wen received a notification from Lin Zheyuan that the operation against Yan Biqing was officially underway.

"Now, Mingguang is able to rapidly pinpoint Yan Biqing’s location; today we must resolve this once and for all," Lin Zheyuan declared before the action.

"If he runs once, we’ll capture him once. If he runs twice, we’ll capture him twice!"

The supporters spread out across the city like a net, at every node, ready to deploy at the fastest speed upon receiving news and take care of everything related to ordinary people.

Then, all the Demon Hunters of Furong River City mobilized to encircle Yan Biqing!

The first time, Yan Biqing was cornered in the sewers. After a fierce fight, he was seriously wounded.

But in the end, he was rescued by a walkie-talkie that flew in abruptly.

Although Lin Zheyuan and his team were prepared for an interception, they failed due to the unknown existence of a look-alike.

But Lin Zheyuan did not lose heart; he had already made such preparations. In about an hour, Ding Mingguang had completed the repositioning.

Today, they would not cease until Yan Biqing was captured.
