Nie Ying almost cried; had she known, she wouldn’t have provoked Wen Wen continuously.
What should she do now? Her body was parasitized by a ghost kind, and she couldn’t even surrender!
"Handsome my ass, ugly guys with small eyes, they all need plastic surgery!"
Nie Ying gave in to desperation and recklessly threw her hand behind her, slinging out three short swords. Each short sword flew in a different direction, and Nie Ying’s body vanished instantly.
Nie Ying had ten of these similar short swords, constituting a set of superpower items.
Her ability was to create a shadow environment, so even if Wen Wen dispersed all the shadows nearby, she had her ways to exhibit her powers.
Wen Wen, in mid-air, flicked his fingers lightly twice, and several energy light swords flew out, striking down the three daggers entirely. The shadows formed by the daggers were absolutely visible to Wen Wen.
Nie Ying jumped out from beside one of the short swords with a scream, flinging two more short swords at Wen Wen. If she couldn’t escape, she might as well try to take down Wen Wen!
The two short swords, one high and one low, left two shadows on the ground.
Nie Ying should be within these two shadows. Wen Wen, with a calm demeanor, fired two energy swords, pinning them onto the two shadows. The anticipated scream didn’t surface.
Then Wen Wen saw Nie Ying leap out from the lower short sword, holding the short sword fiercely and stabbing towards Wen Wen’s neck.
At this point, the two were already very close, and Wen Wen hadn’t expected Nie Ying to emerge from there.
But the imagined beheading didn’t occur; Wen Wen directly caught her hand and kicked her in the chest, sending her flying to the ground.
Anyway, this woman was flat, so there was no worry about flattening her with the kick.
Although after Nie Ying appeared, Wen Wen had been using ranged attacks, Wen Wen’s true strength lay in his close-combat abilities, and attempting to defeat him was simply a fool’s errand.
Then, Wen Wen extended his right hand to the side, half his forearm disappeared into the air, and he slowly drew forth a longsword entwined with crimson energy.
The longsword was pitch black throughout with red veins like blood vessels running through it, and the illusory red gas hovered around Wen Wen like a blood-red river.
Once the longsword was completely drawn, the sky above Nie Ying seemed to be dyed red by the bloody sword, and the snow on the ground turned a uniform red. The sharp sword’s hum quickly melted the surrounding snow, making it flow on the ground like blood.
The aura of the Blood River Sword was massive and eerie, even Tao Qingqing, who was observing, felt a chill on her scalp and a racing heart, wanting to flee from there.
The original Blood River Sword was fierce, but had never been like now, where its mere aura felt heavy and oppressive, like a fierce demonic figure descending upon the world.
Wen Wen slowly walked to Nie Ying’s side, dragging the longsword on the ground, turning everything its tip swept over scarlet red.
Nie Ying clutched her chest, her legs seemingly losing all feeling, utterly suppressed by the aura of the Blood River Sword, unable to even flee.
Wen Wen raised the longsword with a vicious grin, swinging it towards Nie Ying’s head. As the sword blade closed in, Nie Ying rolled her eyes and fainted, a faint pungent smell lingering in the air.
She actually fainted from fright at the sight of the Blood River Sword!
Wen Wen disdainfully collected Nie Ying into the Sanctuary, then glanced at Tao Qingqing standing nearby with a slight tremble, and intriguingly focused his gaze on the Blood River Sword.
The transformation of this longsword was indeed too vast.
Just a few drops of Divine Blood had brought about a monumental change in the Blood River Sword’s might. Originally, its power was already strong, and now it had actually scared an Upper Sequence Level superpower user into fainting with its mere fierce aura!
The Blood River Sword, after merging with Divine Blood, seemed reborn!
This gave Wen Wen a few unsettling thoughts that he swiftly erased.
If it had been a member of another evil secret organization realizing that Divine Blood could provide such immense changes to their weapon, they would definitely try to kill Xiaochan, then take over Pygmy Canyon...
In terms of dangerous thoughts, Wen Wen was no less than any villain.
But unlike them, Wen Wen could suppress those crazy ideas and stick to his principles.
Wen Wen caressed the blade of the Blood River Sword, his expression turning peculiar. He realized that while the power of the Blood River Sword had increased, it had not enhanced as exaggeratedly as it seemed.
In terms of sheer destructive power, the Blood River Sword was only about sixty to seventy percent more powerful than before, but in terms of aura, it had multiplied several times, with an added terrorizing potency.
But aura is also a form of power, so Wen Wen was very satisfied, conceding he had gotten a great deal.
Then Wen Wen sheathed the Blood River Sword and stretched lazily, saying to Tao Qingqing, "Now that the bothersome person is gone, we should prepare to go into the water."
"Go... into the water?" Tao Qingqing was taken aback.
"Yes, otherwise why would I come near the dock? We will probably need to travel a long distance underwater, at least an hour."
Wen Wen stated matter-of-factly; although his destination was near the Arctic Circle, there was no way to enter via conventional means—only underwater was there an entrance.
"But... but we didn’t bring diving suits or swimwear."
Wen Wen retorted, "Why carry swimwear? Is there a difference between that and underwear?"
Tao Qingqing rubbed her head, from a purely covering perspective, there seemed indeed to be no difference...
Tao Qingqing looked helplessly at the surrounding environment, not expecting that she’d end up winter swimming with Wen Wen in such a place, which was pure madness.
Winter swimming in the Arctic Circle posed no difficulty for Tao Qingqing; she actually preferred the cold over the heat.
But swimming for an hour in her clothes would be too cumbersome; it was better to proceed wearing only close-fitting attire.
Watching Tao Qingqing put her outer clothing into a bag and shivering in the cold wind, Wen Wen curiously asked, "What are you doing?"
"Didn’t you say we were going to swim?" Tao Qingqing asked frantically.
Wen Wen tapped twice on a badge on his chest, and two transparent shields enveloped them: "Isn’t this perfect? We won’t even touch the water."
Then Wen Wen tossed an oxygen tank to Tao Qingqing: "Although we can hold our breath for an hour, there’s no need to torture ourselves."
Wen Wen moved to an ice surface, placed his hand on the ground, and with a slight tremor, the more than a meter thick ice layer instantly shattered. Then Wen Wen snapped his fingers, pulling out two rickshaws from the Sanctuary and releasing two monsters.
The two monsters both had fish heads, namely Ben Bo’er and Bapoer.
"Get on, you didn’t think we were going to swim over, did you?"
Tao Qingqing looked at her clothes now packed in a bag, then at the shield on her body, sighed, and directly sat on the rickshaw.
This guy Wen Wen, his humanity was terrible.
