Chapter 369: Chapter 367 Thousand Shapes, Thousand Faces

After killing the Breeding Demon, the Faceless Demon had one less thing to worry about.

Next, he was going to summon all his important subordinates and prepare to withdraw.

To him, the important subordinates included only four Disaster Level Monsters, and those who had just hatched from the Human Demon Puppets as Disaster Level Monsters.

As long as he took them with him, it was foreseeable that the Faceless Demon could rise again, even to become the largest Demon Caravan in the Capital District.

He believed in his subordinates’ abilities. A brief battle like this shouldn’t present a problem. But if it went on for too long, it would really be dangerous.

"Don’t leave... I’m not dead yet!"

A torrent of Cold Qi surged from a pile of rubble, and almost instantly, a layer of frost had formed on the body of the Faceless Demon.

"He survived my blow and the power has increased by a lot. The Breeding Demon said this Fierce Spirit swallowed four Human Demon Puppets. Could it absorb the power from the Human Demon Puppets just like the Breeding Demon?"

This touch of Cold Qi was useless against the Faceless Demon. A flash of purple light on him made all the frost melt, leaving him soaking wet.

The figure of Qin Shuang emerged bit by bit among the ruins. His entire spirit body had expanded, countless Resentful Spirit shadows roamed around him. On both shoulders and on his front and back, twisted faces of demons appeared.

Just like the time he lost control after devouring a massive number of Resentful Soul Beads, Qin Shuang had now lost his sanity due to the sudden increase in power, even daring to challenge the Faceless Demon.

Qin Shuang vigorously stimulated the Cold Qi in an attempt to use Ice Binding on the Faceless Demon, and the Resentful Spirit shadows around him also tried hard to disrupt the Faceless Demon’s nerves, but these attempts were a joke to the Faceless Demon.

The Faceless Demon’s mouth curled into a smile. With one step forward, his body underwent a dramatic change, and he actually transformed into the same appearance as Qin Shuang!

Seeing his own twin, Qin Shuang couldn’t help but be dumbfounded. With his simple intelligence, he couldn’t understand what was happening.

"I am the Faceless Demon. With no face and no form, I can take on a thousand shapes and faces!"

Saying this, the Faceless Demon extended his hand towards Qin Shuang, and a purple-black Cold Qi sprayed out, directly turning Qin Shuang’s spirit body into a block of ice!

Afterward, the Faceless Demon reverted to his own appearance, approaching Qin Shuang to shatter the block of ice. But just as he was about to strike, the ice formed by Qin Shuang vanished, leaving only a purple-black shell of ice behind!

"Does this Fierce Spirit have the ability to teleport instantly? No, someone else must have taken him away!"

Realizing this, the Faceless Demon instantly retreated several yards. Nearly at the same moment, a Gatling gun spewing blue flames released a torrent of metal that riddled the place where he had just stood into a honeycomb.

"Too bad, he actually dodged it." Wen Wen regrettably put the Gatling gun into his black cloak and leapt in front of the Faceless Demon, saying, "So you are the leader of this group of demons. I’ve been looking for you for a long time."

"Disaster Intermediate Sequence..."

On the expressionless visage of the Faceless Demon, there was no sign of emotion, but his tone had obviously become grave. He questioned Wen Wen, "Who are you? I have never heard of a secret organization like yours."

Wen Wen tugged at his robe and then turned around to show him the large black cross on his back, saying, "We are called ’Black Cross’. It’s your ignorance that you haven’t heard of us."

After hearing ’Black Cross’, the Faceless Demon paused, and then his breathing became somewhat labored. It really had something to do with that mysterious Catastrophe-Level Expert. Furious, he asked Wen Wen,

"We have always kept to ourselves, only wanting to do business properly, never provoking anyone. We didn’t even provoke the Hunters Association. How did we end up offending you beasts!"

"We’ve already moved from the Kewei Building to a farmhouse outside Furong River City, and then we’ve fled even further from Furong River City. We keep retreating, why do you still come after us to kill!"

"I’m not a wild beast..."

Wen Wen’s tone inexplicably softened a bit. It sounded like the Faceless Demon thought he had been attacked several times already, but this was clearly the first time...

"Wait, Kewei Building... a farmhouse outside Furong River City... hehehe, so that’s what it is."

After thinking for a moment, Wen Wen understood. When he was using rats to release the Calamity Prison Supervisor’s power in Furong River City, these demons had been affected and had to relocate.

"If I say that this is the first time we’ve targeted you and that before it was just bad luck for you... would you believe me?"

The Faceless Demon’s angry expression paused for a moment. Was it just bad luck before?

He grew even more enraged but still managed to suppress his anger and said to Wen Wen, "Since everything before was a misunderstanding, can you stop fighting now? Continuing to fight is of no benefit to either side."

Wen Wen shook his head and then pointed his great sword at the Faceless Demon, "I just said it. This is our first time targeting you. Since we’re targeting you, there’s no reason to let you go!"

"If you want peace, it can be achieved. You just need to surrender and then accept my enslavement..."

"Then there’s no deal!"

Without another word, the Faceless Demon hurled a purple-black Energy Sphere at Wen Wen. Wen Wen swung his great sword, and a slash infused with the Power of Philosophy neutralized the Energy Sphere.

Then a Philosophical Force Field erupted behind Wen Wen, creating a huge propelling force that sent Wen Wen rocketing toward the Faceless Demon. The intense wind pressure generated by the high-speed movement destroyed everything in the vicinity.

Watching Wen Wen approach, the Faceless Demon stood tall and unafraid, creating a wall with purple-black energy in front of him.

But this wall did not stop Wen Wen, who easily broke through it, and then swept the Faceless Demon away with his sword.

The Faceless Demon jumped up from the ground unscathed and sprang toward Wen Wen with renewed vigor.

In the following minutes, the Faceless Demon was utterly outmatched by Wen Wen from all directions, yet he oddly didn’t suffer any fatal injuries.

The more Wen Wen fought, the more he felt something was odd. They were both of Disaster Intermediate Sequence strength, and even if he was stronger, it shouldn’t be this overwhelming advantage. Moreover, this guy sometimes seemed to be deliberately enduring his power.

Feeling that something was not right, Wen Wen immediately stopped and watched the Faceless Demon from a distance, trying to analyze the reason behind the Faceless Demon’s strange behavior.

Seeing Wen Wen stop, the Faceless Demon twisted his body and asked, "You stopped fighting... what a pity. But the data collected now is enough. The real battle starts next."

After speaking, the Faceless Demon’s body seemed to be covered in a layer of purple-black liquid. When he emerged from the liquid, he looked exactly like Wen Wen!

A black and red coat, a burly stature, and a massive sword as big as a door!

Wen Wen knew about the Faceless Demon’s ability, so he wasn’t surprised. He had only one thought now: what exactly did the Faceless Demon, who had transformed into his likeness, look like beneath the robe.

Was it as philosophical as his own?
