Chapter 192: Chapter 190 Double the Joy

Wen Wen crawled out from the rubble, his eyes wide as he stared at the dark stream of energy.

He also took a glance at the expressions of others, and as expected, they all wore looks of shock.

Some Demon Hunters, seeing the black energy slowly spreading, even thought about turning tail and running.

But upon seeing the energy halt at the edge of the villa, they eased their minds.

Wen Wen’s expression was in sync with everyone else’s. As long as he remained with the Demon Hunters when the energy burst occurred, no one would suspect him of releasing that black energy.

Though even if Wen Wen didn’t do this, no one would suspect him, he still sought to distance himself from any suspicion as much as possible.

Oversights arise from repeated unwarranted confidence, so no matter the situation, Wen Wen needed to do his best.

After the Catastrophe-Level energy outburst, the corruption completely stalled, and the green mist in the sky visibly dimmed to the naked eye.

The eerie substances within the district stopped growing, showing signs of slight shrinkage, still looking very odd, but at least they no longer resembled things from Another World.

This meant that the source of the corruption had been utterly destroyed by that Catastrophe-Level attack!

The ones who felt this the most were Bing He and Lin Zheyuan, who had been struggling hard to prevent the corruption.

Bing He, standing on an ice disk mid-air, was full of emotions:

"He truly did take action to protect Furong River City. It’s a pity he doesn’t want to show himself, otherwise I could ask him to communicate with the Judicator from the Capital District. The Association might gain another Judicator."

Then, an ice slide appeared beneath his feet, swiftly carrying him toward the center of the battlefield.

With the constraints gone, he could now unleash his power as an Upper Sequence Assimilator.

After sharing a moment’s shock with everyone else, Wen Wen charged at the Female Demon Hunter once again.

This time he advanced much faster, and with the source of her power gone, the Female Demon Hunter’s reaction speed was much slower than before.

Wen Wen easily reached her side, and she kicked out at him again.

But this time Wen Wen didn’t get hit. He grabbed her slender ankle firmly, then with a violent upward flip, he caused her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.

He then pinned one of her legs with one hand and grabbed her throat with the other, repeatedly slamming her head against the ground. After a few strikes, she lost consciousness.

Though the lady was attractive, Wen Wen didn’t know her, and sparing her life was a courtesy to the Demon Hunter Association. As for being gentle, that was out of the question.

Not just the Female Demon Hunter, but all the Monsters’ vitality was reduced, making them easier for everyone to handle.

Just as Wen Wen was about to pick another unlucky target, a stream of icy river fell from the sky, landing in the thickest cluster of Monsters, freezing them all solid.

Unlike Wen Wen’s freezing which only controlled their actions without killing them,

those Monsters were dead the moment they were encased in Bing He’s ice.

Then, as Bing He touched down, the crystalline river formed from the ice inexorably swept through all the surrounding Monsters.

The might of a single person was terrifying like this.

This was the full strength of the High Order Demon Hunter ’Bing He,’ who had practically blocked the corruption single-handedly!

With the arrival of such a powerhouse, Wen Wen relaxed, sitting on the ground to watch Bing He’s one-man show.

It couldn’t be denied, Bing He’s abilities were not just lethally powerful, but also quite a sight to behold.

If it were summer, Wen Wen thought, to have Bing He by his side performing this trick while he chilled watermelons with his power, that would be utterly refreshing.

Lin Zheyuan also joined the battle, and under their combined efforts, the remaining monsters were quickly eradicated, with Bing He himself taking out more than half of them.

After stopping, Bing He made a phone call; he was notifying the special operations team that they were no longer needed.

As the emergency squad specially tasked with handling large-scale superpower events, every incident the special operations team dealt with was hardly less strenuous than this time in the Corrupted District.

They were constantly putting out fires throughout the Capital District, running ragged from the effort, too worn out to be called in unless absolutely necessary.

For they had more pressing matters to attend to.

After all the monsters were destroyed, a large number of Supporters flooded into the Corrupted District to handle the aftermath.

Now that the source was gone, the Corrupted District no longer possessed a strong infectious nature, and ordinary people could enter provided they wore protective gear.

The superpower users who had fought earlier, including Wen Wen, were all exhausted, so they exited first, leaving only Lin Zheyuan and Bing He at the scene.

"It’s finally over..."

Lin Zheyuan, not minding the dirt, sat down on the ground with a thump. He had expended a great deal of energy assisting Bing He in containing the corruption.

He was truly exhausted at this point, what with the Paradise incident, the pursuit of Yan Biqing, and now a major event related to the Evil God. Things that a regular city might not encounter in ten or eight years, he had encountered three times in a row.

Bing He stood in front of Lin Zheyuan, his back to him, and said, "The source has been completely destroyed, nothing was left behind, and there’s no need for me to investigate further."

"I will report to the higher-ups that this Catastrophe Level superpower user bears no ill will towards the Association, at least, not at the moment."

Lin Zheyuan felt somewhat sentimental; at first, he had been extremely wary of this Catastrophe Level being, but now, indeed, it was because of him that a crisis had been averted.

"My authority isn’t as high as yours, but I can sense that in recent years, whether it’s the secret organizations or those monsters, they’ve become much more active. What’s going on?"

Bing He sighed and said, "I can’t say much, but I can tell you not to let your guard down, the situation will only get worse, and you have to be prepared for a prolonged battle."

Lin Zheyuan lay on the ground and said loudly, "That’s a preparation every Demon Hunter made right from the start..."

...

When he got home, Wen Wen’s wounds began to heal.

In front of others, he didn’t want to show his abnormally fast self-healing abilities because being injured was a good excuse. Once he displayed his strong self-healing abilities, he couldn’t use that excuse anymore.

After recovery, the first thing Wen Wen wanted to do was to take a bath.

Upon leaving the Corrupted District, Wen Wen had actually already bathed and gone through thorough disinfection to prevent bringing anything from the district outside.

But he still felt a shadow in his heart because the place had been too filthy.

Lying in the bathtub, Wen Wen took out that pink cat-ear cup and poured in one by one liquids into the bathtub – shower gel, dish detergent, bleach, ginger water, and other strange substances.

Anyway, Wen Wen’s bathing water was extremely complicated. An ordinary person soaking in it might lose a layer of skin, but it was just right for Wen Wen to cleanse the filth from his body.

After soaking in the bath comfortably, Wen Wen stepped out of the tub and stood in front of the mirror, the black Catastrophe Gloves now visible.

He wanted to see what the Catastrophe Gloves looked like now.

The blackness spread, and both arms turned pitch-black, but the blackness didn’t stop there. After reaching his shoulders, it branched into black lines, spreading out and meeting at the front of his chest, guarding his heart.

Wen Wen circled the mirror twice, his complexion turning as black as iron, not because the Catastrophe Gloves had spread to his face, but due to a mixture of embarrassment and indignation.

"The range of the gloves getting bigger makes me happy, and having one less weak spot on my chest makes me happy, put together they should add up to double the happiness..."

"But why, no matter how I look at it, does it resemble a bikini?"
