Chapter 658: Chapter 648: Mysterious Sword Technique

Ais released the bone plates on his shoulders, looked at Feng Rao’s flourishing countenance, and said, "Haven’t you been boasting about your plant virus this whole time? Call them out now; I want to unleash a killing spree."

Feng Rao was stunned for a moment and said, "There should have been a virus point here... but it was destroyed by that move just now. But don’t worry, there are fifteen more virus points in this city, enough to turn this place into a hell on earth."

Ais shook his head secretly, thinking that with the current number of superpower users in Tongling City, Feng Rao’s virus would definitely not be able to spread. It seemed that if he wanted to force Feng Bei into compliance, he would have to personally take lives himself.

If killing commoners wouldn’t make Feng Bei comply, then he would kill his friends and family. In short, there were many ways to coerce someone like Feng Bei, and he would eventually compromise.

Ais Wakaz floated in mid-air with his arms spread, and green energy diffused from his body, causing huge plants to grow out of thin air around him, turning the steel city around him rapidly into a forest of towering trees, like a forest of giants.

But every tree in this forest could easily claim a person’s life!

Feng Bei’s complexion changed; he had thought Ais would withdraw first to find a solution, but he hadn’t expected Ais’s obsession with becoming Catastrophe Level to be so strong, insisting on reaching Catastrophe Level in the shortest time.

"It seems I can’t wait any longer; it’s time to start acting... I can definitely succeed!"

Within a building that had already been destroyed by plants, Wen Wen’s figure quietly emerged, eerily staring at Ais Wakaz’s figure. Now was his time to act.

A blood-colored river quietly appeared on the charred wound that had been caused by Monkey Jaw Thunder in front of Ais, beginning to drain energy from Ais’s body. This was the effect of the Blood River Sword, which was actually a minor annoyance to Ais, but as long as there was a slight weakening, Wen Wen’s objective was already achieved.

"Be careful, this is..."

Feng Rao wanted to warn Ais, but the chains inside him prohibited him from saying anything unfavorable to Wen Wen.

Ais didn’t pay attention to Feng Rao’s unusual reaction but was slightly shocked as he looked at Wen Wen. He remembered that he had personally killed Wen Wen last time; why had this man appeared again?

"If I could kill you once, I can kill you a second time. This time, I’ll crush you to dust and scatter your ashes so that you have no chance of coming back to life."

The countless plants surrounding Wen Wen began to attack him of their own accord. The attacks were strong, but they posed no threat to Wen Wen. After all, it was an area-of-effect move; the attacking power of a single tree would be barely Disaster Level at best.

Two pairs of shiny steel wings danced around Wen Wen nimbly, keeping the assaulting plants from getting close to his body. The strength of the X Iron Wings was equivalent to that of a complete High-Tier Powerhouse, more than enough to deal with such attacks.

Ais scoffed. It seemed that a simple manipulation of plants to attack was no match for Wen Wen. However, if he took action personally, the other party would absolutely be unable to defend themselves. A High Sequence superpower user daring to act alone against him was outright suicidal.

"Those wings are made of iron; they must be very afraid of electricity."

Ais’s skin became slick, then blinding currents of electricity circulated around his arms, and a huge column of lightning, thicker than a millstone, erupted from his body and struck Wen Wen squarely.

This was a lightning attack that Ais initiated using the characteristics of an electric eel. When used by him, the common ability of an electric eel became True Order Realm lightning, and indeed, as Ais had anticipated, Wen Wen’s iron wings did not possess much defense against lightning.

As Ais Wakaz was looking forward to seeing Wen Wen’s charred corpse, a massive, pitch-black lycanthrope stealthily appeared from behind the plants at his back—it was the Ghostly Blood Wolf King Specter!

By virtue of its ability to turn insubstantial, it had stealthily burrowed its way into the giant plants and arrived right behind Ais Wakaz.

However, Ais Wakaz instantly detected the Ghostly Blood Wolf King’s sneak attack. For Ais, who could freely manipulate his body, there were no blind spots in his vision. Under what seemed like normal skin, there might be an undetectable eye.

Ais immediately halted the lightning and erected a huge shield behind him. The strength of this shield was such that it could even defend against his own attacks, let alone those of this sudden, unfamiliar Upper Sequence Monster.

But to his surprise, the claw simply shot through his shield without any resistance, then left behind three deep gashes on his back.

Ais stumbled, spun around to survey the towering lycanthrope, and revealed an astonished expression.

"This ability... such a look... you’re the Ghostly Blood Wolf King! You’re actually still alive!"

"No, that’s wrong, you’re already dead, now you’re merely a puppet... But if it’s just a puppet, although the ability is troublesome, with my current power, it wouldn’t be difficult to figure out a way to counter it!"

For Ais Wakaz of the True Order Realm, catching the Ghostly Blood Wolf King off guard and exploiting the gap in its ability to launch an attack was not tough, and certainly there was no need to trade blow for blow as Wen Wen had done before.

But before he could act against the Ghostly Blood Wolf King, a bright flash of lightning enveloped him. His body was instantly charred by the electric shock—a shock of True Order Rank!

The one who launched the attack was naturally Wen Wen. Using the Catastrophe Gloves’ special characteristic of absorbing energy, he had absorbed Ais Wakaz’s lightning and then struck back with the glove on his left hand.

Assimilating an attack of the True Order Realm was not an easy feat, but Wen Wen had studied the Book of Thunder and his tolerance to lightning was far greater than other abilities, enabling him to pull off this feat.

After the lightning had dissipated, the once more charred Ais was enraged to the extreme. He had not anticipated that he, having advanced to the True Order Rank, would be pushed to such a predicament by a High Order Demon Hunter.

Unfortunately, combat between superpower users is a fight to the death. Higher or lower realms do not completely dictate the outcome; otherwise, before a battle, one could simply check the opponent’s realm, and the one with the lesser realm would have to commit suicide.

The real battle hinges on who can find the other’s weakness first, on who can kill the opponent first. Wen Wen excelled at this kind of combat.

Thus, Wen Wen didn’t give Ais the chance to unleash his fury. Facing a True Order Realm powerhouse, Wen Wen would only get one chance to defeat him. If Ais had the opportunity to recover and regroup, Wen Wen would have no chance to defeat him on his own.

In the blink of an eye, Wen Wen reached Ais’s front, his four wings and black longsword began rhythmically striking, with Pentagram-shaped sword Qi waves constantly bombarding Ais, relentlessly slashing at his body.

This was a sword technique devised by Wen Wen after obtaining the Blood River Sword, tailored to his current abilities and named in keeping with his simple approach to naming—Mysterious Sword Technique.Five Stars!

It was called Mysterious Sword Technique because Wen Wen’s codename was Mystic Detective, while Five Stars referenced the pentagram shape formed by the sword Qi...
