Chapter 370: Chapter 368: Evolution Again

Looking at Wen Wen, who was more curious than surprised, the Faceless Demon asked in confusion, "You don’t seem to be shocked at all that I’ve become just like you."

Wen Wen waved his hand and said, "The first time you encounter another self, you are utterly panicked and incredibly shocked. The second time, it feels a bit better, and by the third time... I’m just curious if you really are exactly like me.""Whether I’m exactly like you or not, you’ll find out soon!"

The Faceless Demon, brandishing his great sword, charged towards Wen Wen. A dark purple stream of energy pushed him forward from behind, his stance and posture an exact replica of Wen Wen’s earlier!

Wen Wen’s pupils shrank slightly, and he took a step to the side, using his claymore to block the Faceless Demon’s sword, then struck down with a sword of his own, only to be skillfully parried by the Faceless Demon.

Then, the Faceless Demon pressed forward, his great sword dancing continuously–his swordsmanship was identical to Wen Wen’s!

"So it can copy my abilities as well as my appearance... No, it’s just a semblance."

"Its strength must be a highly versatile energy, capable of imitating a variety of attacks, but the essence of its power is still that dark purple energy..."

"But to think you can beat me with imitation alone... You’re dreaming!"

In the midst of speaking, Wen Wen had already retreated dozens of meters, with everything in his path being destroyed by the collision of the great swords.

Wen Wen’s gaze hardened, he gripped his claymore with both hands, and fiercely chopped down. The great sword in the hands of the Faceless Demon was immediately cut in half, and a deep wound appeared on its chest, followed by Wen Wen kicking it and sending it flying.

That was the Nameless Swordsmanship--Iron-Cutting Style!

"Even if you can imitate my appearance and the strengths I’ve displayed before, there are some things you can’t copy. You surely didn’t believe you could win against me just by imitation."

The Faceless Demon chuckled bitterly. The wound on his body and the great sword quickly returned to normal. Of course, he knew it was difficult to win against Wen Wen merely by imitation, as his ability was not meant for frontal combat.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been thinking about how to retreat upon encountering Wen Wen before.

He could transform into the appearance of his opponent in battle and use his opponent’s abilities to fight, but he could only hold on to one such imitation at a time.

Once he reverted to his original form or imitated a new opponent, although the imitated appearances would remain, the imitated abilities would vanish. In the real world, he had never met an opponent worth preserving for the long term, which is why he always maintained the appearance of a boiled egg.

The opponents he usually imitated would become panicked by the identical appearance and abilities, making it easier for him to find their weaknesses. However, Wen Wen was exceptionally calm, leaving him with no angle to exploit.

"You think imitation is all I’m capable of, do you? I haven’t even used my full strength because I don’t want to offend the Catastrophe-Level Expert behind you. Let’s just go our separate ways. We’ve both paid a big enough price already—once the Hunter Association arrives, neither of us..." the Faceless Demon said with serious exterior but inner trepidation to Wen Wen.

"Hey... heh heh, you’re scared!" Wen Wen sneered, lifting his great sword and thrusting at the Faceless Demon.

The Faceless Demon dodged the thrust and, grinding his teeth, lunged at Wen Wen. He wasn’t unwilling to fight—he was perfectly capable!

This time his fighting style was different; each stroke of his sword was peculiar, making it very difficult for Wen Wen to adapt, and only after a few exchanges, a small section of his red cloak was severed.

Then the Faceless Demon went on the offensive, each of his sword strikes targeted Wen Wen’s weaknesses. He could even predict the direction in which Wen Wen would dodge.

"This guy, he’s used imitation to familiarize himself with my fighting style, then applied his own familiar tactics to break through my moves... He’s not as weak as he seems!"

Having found Wen Wen’s weakness, the Faceless Demon quickly bridged the gap in strength between them and engaged in a fierce battle with Wen Wen.

Although Wen Wen had many hidden moves, his opponent’s abilities were extremely similar to his own, so they were fairly evenly matched.

A smirk appeared on the corner of Wen Wen’s mouth, as if such a battle of equal strength was exactly what he had been searching for all along.

Thus, he fought more and more excitedly, while the Faceless Demon could only stiffen up and fend off Wen Wen’s attacks.

...

While Wen Wen’s side was embroiled in heated combat, the battles among many other monsters in the Demon Residential District were drawing to a close.

The Blood Demon was surrounded by bats in mid-air, blood charged with powerful energy incessantly dripping down, while Tao Qingqing lay in a chair with her mouth open, waiting for the blood to drop into her mouth by itself.

Drinking and drinking, Tao Qingqing soon felt something was wrong.

Her body suddenly became very hot, as if something was surging up from deep within.

Then her consciousness began to blur, and she completely fell into a deep sleep.

She was evolving again; Wen Wen would always save a bit of blood from each powerful monster he captured, specifically for Tao Qingqing to enjoy, like the Ice Blood Cake she licked before, which was made from the Ice Queen’s blood.

Monsters at the Disaster Level, including Little Red Riding Hood, naturally did not escape Wen Wen’s cruel hand, resulting in a large accumulation of Blood Energy in Tao Qingqing’s body, far exceeding the limit that a vampire of her level would normally possess.

Today, after absorbing all the Blood Energy from the Blood Demon, a creature similar to vampires, that energy finally began to erupt, setting the stage for her imminent evolution!

Above the ruins of the assembly hall, the Angel of Universal Light floated a meter above the ground, extending a finger downward at an angle.

A pure white beam of light shot out from his finger, piercing through the forehead of a demon.

This demon was the Devouring Demon!

The Devouring Demon had died at the hands of the Angel of Universal Light; wounded and at a disadvantage, lacking the ability to retaliate when facing the Angel of Universal Light alone, it could only despair as the light incinerated its brain.

Wen Wen’s orders were to defeat and capture these monsters, but the Angel of Universal Light had no intention of sparing them a path to life. Even after the chain gave it a final warning, it still shot and killed the Devouring Demon.

Given the complex situation of the battlefield, Wen Wen’s settings were for the chain to record and warn of rule violations, with punishment to be meted out by Wen Wen himself, so the Angel of Universal Light was not punished by Wen Wen.

On another side of the battlefield, the Terror Claw Demon’s arms had been twisted into a screw shape, and it was barely alive as Yan Biqing held it in his hand.

The Terror Claw Demon was not weak, and under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t have been easy for Yan Biqing to win. However, the Terror Claw Demon had been the most severely injured in the assault of Little Red Riding Hood’s Cloud Bomb, so Yan Biqing managed to defeat it without even getting hurt!

Among all the Disaster Level monsters, the highly intelligent Yan Biqing was also the one who most faithfully executed Wen Wen’s commands.

Because he was the one who most profoundly understood his own plight.
