The feeling of being targeted by a predator made Jumo very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
If he felt uncomfortable, Zhao Dajie and Mai Xiaodou felt even worse, their bodies beginning to tremble.
Jumo looked at the performance of the three of them and knew that if they continued like this, they were doomed to fail without even fighting.
So he shouted, "No matter what fear we encounter, we must not be afraid. Face it with a smile. The best way to overcome fear is to face fear."
After saying this, he revealed an exaggerated smile, and a flame-like red energy surged around him, his aura momentarily overwhelming Zhi Qin.
His ability was called 'Positive Energy Quotes'. By using uplifting words full of positive energy before a battle, he could gain immense power.
If he firmly believed in this positive energy quote, his strength could even increase to a level close to the intermediate stage of Calamity.
After roaring, he transformed into a red meteor and charged at Zhi Qin.
As he rushed, he also shouted, "Ao, ao, ao, O le ge!!!"
Zhi Qin snorted coldly, closed his wings, and wrapped Jumo into a giant metal sphere, standing still to await Jumo's attack.
The red meteor collided with the metal sphere with a bang. The metal sphere was violently thrown back, but it spread its wings in mid-air, dissipating the force and allowing Zhi Qin to land steadily.
Meanwhile, Jumo remained in place, and the part of his body that touched the metal sphere was covered in countless tiny cuts, bleeding profusely.
"Every feather on my wings is a sharp blade that can easily slice through steel. Ramming me with your body is the most foolish thing to do."
Zhao Dajie lifted her hood, revealing a pale and ugly face. Her skin was uneven, her mouth was large, and her lips were of unequal thickness.
What was most terrifying were her eyes. Both of her eyelids were made of eight small fleshy buds. When she opened her eyes, the buds opened; when she closed them, they closed.
White liquid was spewed from her eyes. The liquid turned into a large white net in mid-air, enveloping Zhi Qin.
At the same time, Mai Xiaodou raised his weapon, a concrete pipe about five to six meters long and tens of centimeters wide.
Holding the concrete pipe, he charged like a tank towards the enveloped Zhi Qin and forcefully smashed the concrete pipe down.
However, this attack had little effect on Zhi Qin. His body rotated rapidly, and his wing-like blades shredded the white net, also slicing the giant concrete pipe into countless concrete fragments.
Then, his two wings suddenly stretched out, extending tens of meters and piercing both Mai Xiaodou and Zhao Dajie.
After retracting his wings, Zhi Qin shook them, flicking off the blood, and contemptuously looked at the heavily injured trio.
Wen Wen was observing from twenty meters away. He concealed his aura, had the three cubs curl up in a circle, and used their camouflage ability to hide their figures.
"Is this wild chicken the leader of the 'Wild Talkers'?"
"His strength is upper-intermediate... but compared to that tiger, he is far weaker."
"However, those wings..." Wen Wen's eyes lit up as he stared at the metal wings, "they look so similar to my Steel Wings!"
Although Zhi Qin's steel wings exuded a powerful aura and were more ferocious and larger in appearance, both the design of the blade-like feathers and the way the feathers were attached to the wings were extremely similar to Steel Wings!
"Interesting. I'll capture them for research after they're done fighting."
If Wen Wen didn't intervene, the trio of Jumo would definitely not be able to defeat Zhi Qin. However, he was curious if Red Beard had left any backup in this establishment.
Wen Wen would be extremely disappointed if the old inn's defensive measures only involved drawing approaching superhumans into a different space and then engaging in a direct confrontation with them.
Zhao Dajie and Mai Xiaodou, pierced by the wings, were not dead but had lost their combat effectiveness. Now, only Jumo had the strength to counterattack.
Zhi Qin stretched his limbs, about to finish off all three of them.
Jumo immediately shouted, "Nothing is impossible in this world, we... never mind."
He suddenly realized that with his own strength alone, he could not possibly defeat Zhi Qin. So he said to Zhao Dajie and Mai Xiaodou, "Now that it's come to this... use the demon swords."
"Demon swords!"
Wen Wen's eyes widened, greatly anticipating what would happen next.
Then, the three of them simultaneously reached behind their necks, forcefully plunged their hands into their flesh, and pulled out bloody longswords from their spinal columns!
The three swords had different designs, colored black-red, black-purple, and black-green respectively. Each sword was imbued with an extremely evil aura.
These swords seemed to possess souls, displaying their unbridled malice. However, the three of them retained a clear look in their eyes, not completely driven by the swords' bloodlust.
After drawing the longswords, their auras also strengthened, and their strength increased by a full level!
Jumo became an intermediate Calamity, while Zhao Dajie and Mai Xiaodou both advanced to Calamity level!
"This is incredible. It's true that Containment Items can directly grant ordinary people immense power, but these so-called demon swords are just weapons, and they are mass-produced..."
"These should merely be flawed products. How powerful would Red Beard's ultimate creations be?"
Zhi Qin's expression sank as he looked at the suddenly strengthened trio.
He had only come to attack an inn, and there were too many variables!
If every employee of this inn possessed such a longsword, it would be understandable for his three subordinates to suffer an unexpected defeat.
Wielding the demon swords, Jumo and the other two had little reason left, and they began to attack Zhi Qin.
They still used their original techniques, but they were clearly much more bizarre and insidious, making it impossible for Zhi Qin to defend against them.
After several clashes between his wings and the blades, their sharpness was comparable. However, the longswords possessed a peculiar aura that seemed to be draining Zhi Qin's blood, wanting to completely devour him.
Even so, Zhi Qin was not afraid of the three of them, because as the battle progressed, their sanity diminished, and they were merely puppets controlled by the swords.
But as the battle wore on, Zhi Qin's unease grew stronger. It felt as if some danger was watching him, yet he couldn't identify it.
He attributed this premonition to the old inn having other hidden measures he was unaware of, and thus he began to consider retreating.
With all three of his subordinates defeated here, he should not be punished by 'The Jester' if he retreated now.
Therefore, his body began to spin like a top, repelling the trio, and he then broke through the window, rushing out of the old inn.
