"I know, continuing to resist has no meaning."
"I know, I can't change anything on my own..."
"But I will continue to fight!"
Wu Kai faced a dozen powerful Corpse People alone, fiercely resisting.
In this resistance where victory was unseen, his senses were rapidly sharpening, allowing him to discern the combat situation from the sounds of battle outside.
Which roar represented someone's inability to hold on, and which sigh signified someone's surrender.
That anguished roar was the final battle cry of his master, Gui Wushang, who had dominated the Jianghu for decades, dying at the hands of Shi Buniao.
Then he heard some piercing screams, the wails of the women in their sect.
His sickly master's wife, her few maidservants, the fourth uncle's concubine...
The voices of these women were different from the female disciples of the sect, the Corpse People showed no mercy towards them, launching indiscriminate slaughter instead.
The women hiding on the back mountain were ordinary people without Inner Strength, indicating that the purpose of these Corpse People was to capture more Martial Artists.
After persisting for over ten minutes, Wu Kai was the only one left fighting in the entire Defense Path Sect, his skin radiating a golden hue, as if his entire being was cast from gold. The attacks of the Corpse People only left white marks on his skin.
Wu Kai was originally the most talented disciple of the Defense Path Sect, and endless slaughter in despair pushed him to reach a legendary Realm of the Defense Path martial arts. Google seaʀᴄh n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Vajra Indestructible Body!
No, this cannot be called merely a martial art, but rather an awakening of a powerful Supernatural Power, granting him a perverse level of physical strength.
Wu Kai sensed his transformation but felt little joy.
What use was being Vajra Indestructible when he had no means to effectively kill these Corpse People? He would still die once he exhausted his strength.
Yet, in this hopeless situation, Wu Kai suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.
A loud crash suddenly sounded beside him, as a massive man clad in spiked armor fell from the sky.
The enormous impact tore apart all the Corpse People surrounding Wu Kai, but due to his Vajra Indestructible ability, he felt only skin pain, with no substantive injury.
A few Corpse People lunged at them, but the burly man casually swatted them, turning them into blood mist. The terrifying regenerative powers of the Corpse People were useless against such absolute violence.
This burly man was Zhu Pengpei, Wen Wen's Right Protector, sent by Wen Wen to protect this lone resistor.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Wen Wen floated in mid-air, with countless black Light Swords hovering around him.
Wen Wen waved his hand lightly, and the black Light Swords shot downwards towards the Defense Path Sect like raindrops.
Due to the numerous targets, Wen Wen's aim was slightly off, but each Corpse Person was allocated at least a few Light Swords.
With the physique of these Corpse People, even being pierced by thousands of arrows might not harm them, but the places they were wounded by the Light Swords began to rot rapidly, dissolving into pools of blood within minutes.
The only survivor of the entire Defense Path Sect was Shi Buniao, who led the attack.
Wen Wen landed in front of him, unemotionally asking, "Where is Egger?"
With just a glance, he could tell these Corpse People were Egger's creations.
Egger's ability twisted people into monsters, and these Corpse People were products of that distortion.
"Who's Egger? I don't know him..."
Shi Buniao replied in confusion, not as a pretext but because he truly didn't know who Egger was.
"Let me ask it another way, who turned you into this state, and where are they?"
Shi Buniao's face lit up with understanding, and he prepared to reveal Egger's information to Wen Wen. In their deviant sects, strength dictated submission, and principles weren't upheld.
But before he could speak, his body swelled up like an inflating water balloon and exploded, the toxic flesh flew towards Wen Wen, who deflected it with ease using the Qi Force surrounding him.
"It seems unrealistic to gather information from these small monsters. To find Egger, we must charge directly. After dark, let's take the Black Night Knight for a visit to Corpse Manor."
Wen Wen searched through the heaps of Shi Buniao's remains and found an identity emblem.
"Diaper... Oh, read it wrong, it's Shi Buniao."
After contemplating, Wen Wen casually summoned some water to retrieve the badge. It might prove useful in the future, and if not, it's at least made of pure silver.
Subsequently, Wen Wen flew to Wu Kai's side, who had already withdrawn from his Vajra Indestructible state, though his skin still looked unusual.
Gazing at him, Wen Wen felt that he had seen him somewhere before, after a moment of scrutiny, he snapped his fingers in realization.
He had encountered a superpower user in the Federation who bore an aura identical to Wu Kai's, though Wu Kai was much weaker. Clearly, Wu Kai's ability was inherited from that lineage—all possessing Vajra Indestructible.
In other words, Wu Kai might need a Shit-Cutter Blade in the future...
Wen Wen didn't articulate his inner thoughts, considering that Wu Kai had just lost his entire sect, joking now felt too insensitive.
Just as he was about to offer some comforting remarks, Wen Wen suddenly paused and then smiled: "Things seem to have gotten interesting."
He snapped his fingers, draping a Black Robe over himself, with bubbles appearing around him.
The closest bubble to Wen Wen contained Wu Kai's image.
This indicated that Wu Kai had met the recruitment requirements of the Sanctuary, but usually, Wen Wen used this ability inside the Sanctuary, entering the recruitment interface externally for the first time.
Wen Wen tapped on the bubble and a contract floated out, landing in Wen Wen's hand. This process was invisible to others, they only saw a paper suddenly appear in Wen Wen's hand.
"Huh, it's not the Sanctuary... it's the Detention Institute? Now that's even more interesting."
Wen Wen placed the contract in front of Wu Kai: "If you want to avenge those who died in this tragedy, if you don't want to feel such powerlessness again, sign this."
Kneeling on the ground with vacant eyes, Wu Kai looked at the content of the contract, renewed a glimmer of light in his eyes, and signed his name without hesitation.
At the moment he signed, Wen Wen felt a connection to something, his smile growing increasingly exaggerated.
He placed his hand on Wu Kai and snapped his fingers, and the two vanished into thin air together.
With Wen Wen's sudden disappearance, Zhu Pengpei's gaze towards Chun Ling turned dangerous; he was inherently a ferocious Wild Beast, prone to committing extremely cruel acts when unsupervised.
Yet, as soon as a vile intention arose, the chains restraining him tightened again, and he too vanished from sight.
