Hosta was originally mentally disturbed; when Wen Wen sliced his mouth, he went completely mad. Without this hysterical madness, he couldn't withstand the power of the Nameless King.
At this moment, Hosta is a lunatic more terrifying than before.
The powers of Cicada Ancestor, the devoured Pope, and the Hosta who accepted the Nameless King's power all fuse together to become the current Hosta.
Although his strength cannot compare to the peak of Cicada Ancestor, it's not something ordinary Catastrophe-Level experts can handle. Moreover, even such experts face spiritual contamination when confronted with Hosta.
Wen Wen shook his head and said, "You better worry about yourself first. You just advanced and lack experience, while your opponent is a seasoned expert. As for me..."
"I will definitely win!"
Qiao Feiya said nothing and directly charged towards Sha Xie Tulam. All she could do was quickly defeat her opponent.
Without Qiao Feiya by his side, Wen Wen started to exude a red aura, the crimson frenzy like a towering pillar of fire, making Wen Wen extremely terrifying.
Wen Wen held the Blood River Sword in his right hand, the Black Blade in his left hand, the Staff of Frenzy swirling by his side, and the Black Moon hovering behind him, black chains rising from the earth.
"Come on, come and become my fruit, I will…" Hosta gazed intoxicatedly at Wen Wen, ready to enjoy the upcoming battle and repay Wen Wen for what he once did to him a thousand-fold.
A thick red power gathered at his chest; its nature is special—the more pain around it, the stronger his power becomes.
In front of this 'giant tree' formed from the life of the entire city, Wen Wen is decidedly no match for him.
The center of the red power that Hosta condensed suddenly had a massive hole, and a bowl-sized cavity appeared in his chest.
It was the rapidly advancing Staff of Frenzy that pierced him!
The Staff of Frenzy flew hundreds of meters behind Hosta, turned direction, and flew towards him again.
As it was about to stab Hosta, his huge cicada wings unfolded, attempting to deflect the Staff of Frenzy. But just as it was about to hit, the Staff quickly turned, creating a large wound in Hosta's lower abdomen. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Nove1Fire.net
Hosta's smile suddenly stopped: "What's going on, this is not right."
He didn't understand how Wen Wen's attack hit him just now!
Hosta saw the trajectory of the Staff of Frenzy very clearly, knowing how much strength was needed to intercept it. When Wen Wen attacked him with it, he was somewhat disdainful, yet he failed to block it.
When that attack approached, his strength seemed to automatically disperse, the defensive capabilities of his hard shell disappearing completely.
He thought he had defended against it, but in fact, he was injured by Wen Wen's attack, which was completely unreasonable.
This was far from the battle Hosta envisioned. Is Wen Wen's attack very mysterious? No... Hosta saw all of Wen Wen's moves very clearly.
Except for Wen Wen's ability to ignore his spiritual contamination, Wen Wen had no advantage against him; he could completely crush Wen Wen.
But what is this bizarre situation?
Wen Wen walked toward Hosta, with each step leaving a crimson step in the void, disappearing into thin air after Wen Wen passed.
Hosta attacked Wen Wen twice; before figuring out this strange situation, he didn't want Wen Wen to approach him.
But those two attacks both missed Wen Wen, flying past his side, while Wen Wen didn't even dodge.
"What's going on, why, why?" Hosta lost all his arrogance, left only with fear.
His confidence in his strength had vanished, and this bizarre scene reminiscent of the past fear when Wen Wen dominated him.
As he walked, Wen Wen said to Hosta: "You are indeed strong and only someone like you can bear the power of the Nameless King."
"So I'm fortunate that your first opponent is me."
"Because only I can completely slay you!"
"Regarding what you did after I sliced your lips, I am fully aware. It was simply appalling, and I wanted to kill you immediately, but I held back."
"I believed keeping you would have a significant purpose one day, and now I see I was not wrong. If someone other than you was guarding here, my trouble might have been far greater."
Hosta couldn't answer Wen Wen's words; instead, he continually attacked Wen Wen, but all of these attacks were easily blocked by Wen Wen or simply missed him.
Meanwhile, the Staff of Frenzy continued attacking Hosta, persistently eroding his combat capabilities like a scraping massage.
Listening to Wen Wen's words, the sound of ringing metal clashes echoed in Hosta's ears, sounding like the collision of chains.
He didn't know where the sound was coming from, but the louder it got, the more terrified he felt.
As Wen Wen advanced, the pressure on him became more terrifying; the Blood River Sword emitted a bloody hue, with a bloody river flowing through the sky—a spectacle visible to half of the Golden Eagle District.
"The Great Sage is a formidable opponent; he knows me well. He knew I would definitely come to attack here."
"Because taking the third Sanctuary would tilt the balance of victory in my favor."
"So he sent you and Sha Xie Tulam, with your boosted powers, to guard this place. Considering your combined strength, it's not just a matter of stopping me; you could even keep me here permanently!"
"But he underestimated one thing—that I had prepared on your body long ago!"
Hosta's eyes nearly bulged out; he didn't comprehend what Wen Wen's setup meant.
Was it the sound of chain collisions? Is that why he can't stop Wen Wen's attacks?
Wen Wen shook his head: "Can't figure it out? That's right; just die in confusion, I won't give you the answer!"
He had already reached within a few meters of Hosta, gripping the Blood River Sword high, its pressure peaking, with the blade slightly vibrating and blood-red ripples appearing in the surrounding space.
"True Mysterious Sword Technique... Bloodfall Catastrophe!"
Wen Wen swung the sword, the pressure on the Blood River Sword disappearing completely. But Hosta did not feel a particularly strong slash; rather, the chain collision sound in his ears vanished, replaced by the sound of a waterfall flowing.
Accompanied by the waterfall-esque sound, Hosta's blood boiled, causing the surrounding flesh to dissolve rapidly, revealing the bones.
Like a block of ice washed by a hot spring waterfall, eventually melting into water...
