Wen Wen hovered thousands of meters in the air, countless black light swords forming and condensing, chains with sharp hooked spikes connecting these swords, creating a giant net in the sky, shrouding the nearby sky.
Then, Wen Wen dived down with countless long swords.
With a sinister grin, Houqing bent his knees, leaping up and swinging his fist at Wen Wen, the two colliding fiercely in mid-air, causing black energy to rain around them.
Under Houqing's deliberate hardening, his body was unimaginably strong, even Wen Wen's major attack left only some insignificant small wounds on him.
However, Wen Wen's grandiose attack was merely a feint, his true killing move hidden behind.
Amidst the tumultuous black energy rain, a black long blade extended from Wen Wen's palm, this blade was slender and sharp, its design simple yet uncompromisingly incisive.
Grasping the hilt, Wen Wen watched as dim patterns spread from the hilt to the entire blade, with black shadows appearing on its surface.
With a fierce expression, Houqing thrust his sharp black claws at Wen Wen, whose eyes flashed, as he single-handedly thrust the black blade forward, with the tip meeting Houqing's claw tip like needle against wheat awn.
In Houqing's expectation, Wen Wen's blade would be deflected off, and his hand would pierce into Wen Wen's chest.
Unexpectedly, the black long blade ignored his formidable claws, piercing directly into his palm, slicing upwards all the way to his shoulder, the residual power of the blade extending dozens of meters behind Houqing, leaving clear traces in the air.
Detaching from the long blade, Houqing fell to the ground, with dark green blood splattering on the ground, causing the bloodstained ground to swiftly decay and deteriorate, as if heavily polluted.
"What on earth is that blade!"
Staring at the long blade in Wen Wen's hand, Houqing was utterly astounded, today had too many things upending his understanding.
Why would such a level of weapon appear in the hands of this world's natives?
Wen Wen gently shook the long blade to fling away the filthy blood, the blade then retracted back into Wen Wen's body.
This black blade, after all, was the Man in Black Robe's weapon, it was only logical it could break Houqing's defense, yet its effect far exceeded Wen Wen's expectations, with the Catastrophe Level Blood River Sword only slightly piercing through his resilient skin, while the black blade cut through as if slicing tofu.
Each powerful cut by the black blade consumed the energy within its black shadow, energy which needed to be nurtured in the Sanctuary to slowly restore.
But simply using it against Houqing should be sufficient.
"Brother, you've had enough fun, let me take over next."
A familiar voice arrived, as a guy in black ninja cosplay outfit charged from Houqing's side, placing his palm atop Houqing's head.
Then, crack-like traces appeared in the air, and Houqing's whole body was forcefully blown hundreds of meters away, before encountering the same cracks mid-air, deeply impacting him underground.
Standing in Houqing's original position was that small-eyed guy with shared interests with Wen Wen.
He lifted off the headscarf and face mask, revealing a slightly youthful yet somewhat arrogant face.
With long, thick black hair tied with a strip below his nape, he appeared both carefree and tidy.
"I initially just thought you seemed agreeable, Brother, didn't expect you to be so unfathomable, indeed strong ones do attract each other."
"After this wraps up, how about a drink with me? I'm Kyogoku Kura."
Wen Wen's pupils contracted slightly, then stepped back two steps, cutting a large tree in half with a blade, signaling he was handing the battlefield to the young man before him by sitting on the tree. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelꞁire.net
Kyogoku Kura, the extraordinary newcomer of the last two decades.
More renowned than Qiao Feiya, Ha Erman, and even Wen Wen.
Upon awakening, he possessed the Assimilation Realm, easily climbing to True Order Rank strength, and not just with high Realm, but possessing extremely formidable combat abilities as well.
The last time Wen Wen heard news of Kyogoku Kura, he single-handedly defeated two veteran True Order Rank superpower users.
Unexpectedly, he had now transcended the boundary between human and divine, becoming a Catastrophe Level superpower user!
Wen Wen silently looked at this youth, although he thought himself fortunate, the promotion speed was astonishingly faster than this guy.
Kyogoku Kura's ability, manipulating a kind of exotic energy resembling shockwaves, allowed him to easily break small sections of space, causing tremendous destructive power.
Knowing who he was, Wen Wen suddenly understood how Kyogoku could suddenly move from a streetlamp to himself while cosplaying as a ninja earlier.
He shattered the space between himself and Wen Wen, and when space auto-repaired, he appeared before Wen Wen.
Clearly, this involved exceedingly fine energy control; otherwise, Wen Wen wouldn't have sensed any anomaly.
Now that Kyogoku Kura had appeared, Wen Wen no longer insisted on fighting Houqing himself; he released his Catastrophe State, sitting on a tree trunk watching the two fight.
The Catastrophe State could only be maintained for a dozen or so minutes a day, Wen Wen wasn't foolish enough to maintain it while spectating.
Anyway, as long as the black robe was draped on him, outsiders would perceive him as having Catastrophe Level strength, so there was no concern about being exposed.
With his head pounding, Houqing crawled out of the mud, grimacing at Kyogoku Kura, the sudden ambush an intense headache to him.
"What on earth is happening to this world, has it become this dangerous... Am I not a Star Realm God!"
Houqing felt utterly aggrieved at that moment. A Star Realm God should be atop this world, shouldn't they? Why hadn't his life been peaceful for a single day since awakening from the seal?
Targeting the Beast God then being slapped by the Moon Goddess, tasked with fulfilling Ensook's task, then being humiliated by a mere small superpower user, ambushed by a lunatic, and finally this guy named Kyogoku disrupting everything...
He somewhat regretted accepting Ensook's task, not out of unwillingness to alleviate Ensook's burdens, but because he genuinely couldn't do it!
Kyogoku Kura, undeterred by whether Houqing was ready, struck, cracks surfacing in the air again. With a burst, Kyogoku's legs kicked Houqing's abdomen.
Houqing was sent flying again, though this time, not as pathetically as before; while he didn't understand Kyogoku's abilities, he wasn't one to easily lose in close combat.
"Arrogant and ignorant brat, you'll pay for your actions!"
Sharp bone spurs continuously sprouted from Houqing's body, each wound around with vile energy, making him appear several times fiercer than before, yet the previously slashed palm by Wen Wen remained unrecovered.
Kyogoku chuckled, the cosplay outfit on him bursting open, revealing a snug combat suit underneath.
Just now, he was merely warming up!
