Chapter 414: 412

Of course, Wen Wen’s greatest achievement was that the Faceless Demon had successfully imitated the Corrupt Blood.

Now, the strongest being that Wen Wen could find was the Corrupt Blood. Although the previous Faceless Demon Physique was of the Disaster Intermediate Sequence, the abilities of the Faceless Demon were not actually suited for combat.

However, after imitating the Corrupt Blood, the abilities of the Faceless Demon Physique skyrocketed.

It was just a pity that the Faceless Demon could only retain one imitation at a time; otherwise, Wen Wen really wanted to find more powerful beings for the Faceless Demon to imitate by bumping into them.

Once again switching back to the Faceless Demon Physique and feeling the abilities of the Corrupt Blood he had imitated, every cell in Wen Wen’s body was jumping for joy. This was the kind of power truly suited for battle.

The main abilities of the Corrupt Blood consisted of two aspects—one was the manipulation of hair. Now, Wen Wen could freely grow his hair, and each strand could launch independent attacks. The tips of his hair were sharper than needles, and the strands were tougher than steel wires. Now, Wen Wen needed only a single hair strand to decapitate someone!

The other ability was to imbue various attacks with a destructive force, allowing every strike of Wen Wen’s to gain explosive increases in power.

These abilities were somewhat similar to the Fear Hand Demon’s Terrifying Claw Strike, but the power was even greater.

The combat power of the Faceless Demon after imitating the Corrupt Blood satisfied Wen Wen greatly. These two abilities were enough for him to establish himself among those of the Assimilation Mid-Sequence.

...

In Shannan Province, Jibei City, Xinfu Residential Area.

A coarse black cross soared into the sky, breaking the tranquility of the residential area as people slowly emerged from their homes, only to discover that, unbeknownst to them, a bizarre building made of three combined towers had sprouted up next to their community.

This strange building hadn’t just suddenly appeared; it had always been there beside the residential area, yet people never took notice of it.

At this moment, huge holes blasted open on every side of the building, and black energy residues remained on these cavities, but of course, ordinary people couldn’t see this energy.

Only fifteen minutes later, countless men in black rushed into the residential area, erasing the memories of all the ordinary people who had witnessed the incident.

The local Hunters Association immediately reported the situation to their superiors, and in just two hours, a great number of Demon Hunters arrived at the scene.

The last to arrive was a muscle-bound man in a white tank top surrounded by a group of Demon Hunters, approaching the building.

The man’s skin glowed with a golden hue as he looked at the ruined wreckage with an indifferent expression.

A short Demon Hunter reported at his side, "Mr. Jin, we have confirmed that this is a new branch of the Profane Blood, and the ones who destroyed it like this were the recently active Secret Organization, ’Black Cross’..."

"Black Cross, huh..."

Mr. Jin sighed, then said, "They have been too active recently, so eager to engage in conflicts with other secret organizations. What exactly is their goal..."

"Perhaps these rats in the sewer simply don’t get along..." the short Demon Hunter chimed in.

Mr. Jin shook his head, "You can’t take such a superficial view. Except for Glory Church, all the secret organizations that have appeared are our enemies, and this ’Black Cross’ is focusing on striking at these secret organizations. It looks like they might be helping us."

The short Demon Hunter sneered, "Maybe they’re aiming for some goal, or maybe they have some scheme. In any case, we can’t let our guard down with them."

"I knew you would say that," Mr. Jin said with a light sigh. Though this short individual was his supporter, he was also a hardliner, believing that all secret organizations harbored conspiracies.

Suddenly, a supporter came to report, "Mr. Jin, someone from the Black Cross wishes to meet you!"

Mr. Jin raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised. It seemed that this Black Cross really had quite the nerve to leave someone behind to meet with them.

"Bring him over."

After giving permission, a supporter led a figure in a black and red robe to Mr. Jin. That figure was Yan Biqing.

"I come representing my lord ’Black Cross’ to deliver some data to you."

Yan Biqing placed a large bag in front of Mr. Jin, which contained all the data he had collected before.

Before the main force of the Hunter Association arrived, he had already checked these materials. Those useful to the Sanctuary had been taken away; the rest were all here.

Mr. Jin started to flip through the data, not in the least worried that Yan Biqing might have set something up within to harm him. After a brief look, he asked Yan Biqing,

"If this information is genuine, it will be greatly beneficial to us in our pursuit of the remnants of Profane Blood. However, I am very curious about your purposes."

Yan Biqing bowed and smiled, saying, "Our goal is the same as the Hunters Association, to protect ordinary humans and maintain the balance between the two worlds. This data is meant as a gesture of goodwill to the Association."

Mr. Jin set the data aside and said, "These alone are not enough to convince me of your intentions."

"You will believe in time," Yan Biqing calmly replied.

Even though the negotiations were under the name of Black Cross, there was no doubt that this handover of data was the first communication between the Catastrophe Containment Facility and the Hunter Association. Therefore Wen Wen closely monitored the entire process of Yan Biqing’s interface with the Hunter Association.

Even the lines spoken by Yan Biqing were instructed by Wen Wen. Wen Wen was in Qingchuan City, watching over this meeting, so Yan Biqing didn’t dare to change his script on his own.

Seeing the conversation between Yan Biqing and Mr. Jin go smoothly, Wen Wen suddenly had a strange notion and had Yan Biqing ask an unplanned question.

"May I be so bold as to ask, is your ability ’Vajra Indestructible’?"

Mr. Jin was taken aback for a moment but didn’t reply.

But Wen Wen had already gotten his answer—the guy’s ability was indeed Vajra Indestructible!

There were many True-order Masters in the Hunters Association, but not necessarily many superpower users with Vajra Indestructible. Hence, Wen Wen’s Blade of Contamination must have appeared for solving issues with this individual.

Who would have thought that this burly fellow would have such troubles...

After the negotiations concluded, Yan Biqing said to the others, "I have delivered the message I was meant to. Now, please excuse my departure."

He then walked straight out of the Hunter Association’s encirclement.

"Shall we capture him?" a short Demon Hunter asked with narrowed eyes.

Mr. Jin refused, saying, "No need, let him go. How we regard this ’Black Cross’ will depend on the headquarters’ decision..."

...

In Qingchuan City, at the former site of the Mystery Museum, a makeshift prefabricated house had sprung up.

The location still held a substantial amount of the qi left behind from the collision of two Catastrophe Level beings. It would not open to the public until the research was completed.

Two superpower users in white uniforms sat facing each other, contemplating a set of data.

The younger one in a white uniform said, "Latest news—the Black Cross attacked a new branch of Profane Blood in Shoumin Province and gave all the important data they collected from there to the Association."

The older superpower user asked, "Any movement on the target Wen Wen?"

"The target spent the entire night capturing monsters. He does this in every city he visits. His behavior is normal. Should we remove him from the suspect list?"

The older superpower user hesitated for a good while, then said to the younger one, "...Let it be for now, temporarily cease surveillance on him, but still bring all his movements to me."

"Yes!" The young man in the white uniform saluted as he spoke.
