Wen Wen stood by with satisfaction, watching Iliyat being ganged up on by a group of True Order powerhouses.
The bizarre chrysanthemum continued to bloom more vibrantly, causing Iliyat's strength to weaken incessantly, leaving him defenseless against the attacks from others.
Not only was his本体's (origin body's) strength diminishing, but the替死者 (decoys) he had stored within him, bound by the power of the River of the Dead, were also constantly weakening. Now, not even a single decoy could allow him to complete a full resurrection.
Xun Qing's Heart-Mind Divine Sword could sever his Red Moon domain, and Ju Shilang's chrysanthemum could weaken the power of the River of the Dead. With the two of them present, Iliyat's full strength could not be unleashed.
"As long as he dies, I will have one less major problem. The thirteen clans of the blood race are all independent, and other clans should not know about Tao Qingqing's matters yet."
"Also, I need to provide some protection for that girl Tao Qingqing in the future. Otherwise, any blood族 (blood race) can recognize her uniqueness, and the constant stream of them will be too troublesome."
Observing the battle at the True Order level benefited Wen Wen immensely. Not only were their realms higher than Wen Wen's, but their methods of using energy were also more profound, with not a single iota of power wasted.
Especially Xun Qing, every move he made offered Wen Wen a slight gain. Su Dan Novel Network
As Iliyat, who had already revived several times and looked increasingly disheveled, was clearly close to being finished, Wen Wen suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation.
It was as if something extremely dangerous was spying on him. He turned around and scanned his surroundings, vaguely catching sight of a white shadow. Upon closer inspection, the shadow had completely vanished.
"Was it my eyes playing tricks? No, that's impossible... there was definitely something there before."
Ordinary people might experience blurred vision due to mental stress, eye fatigue, and various other factors, but none of these would affect Wen Wen.
Wen Wen's eyesight was so sharp that he could even see the wings of a flying fly. Combined with his Mirror Eyes, he would absolutely not experience inexplicable visual disturbances. Therefore, he immediately became vigilant.
Long Su and the others had strength comparable to Wen Wen, but they had discovered nothing. This indicated that the entity was likely targeting Wen Wen.
Before Wen Wen could fully process this, he sensed another extremely bizarre aura!
It was impossible to classify the level of this aura; it might be weaker than Catastrophe Class, or stronger than Cataclysm Class. It made Wen Wen instinctively uneasy, along with an indescribable sense of temporal disorientation.
The source of the aura was on the other side of the city and was completely unmasked.
Accompanying the aura was a super-being of the Upper Order. That super-being was doing their best to project their aura and had attached strong information to it… the information was a plea for help!
The five True Order powerhouses who were besieging Iliyat also felt this aura simultaneously, and their expressions changed.
As super-beings of the True Order, they were well-traveled and experienced, but even so, this was the first time they had encountered something so peculiar.
"I'll leave this vampire to you. My brother over there is calling for help." The slightly balding True Order user of Laws immediately mounted a giant brown bear and sped towards the direction of the bizarre aura.
In that fleeting moment, unnoticed by anyone, Iliyat, lying on the ground, sent a bat, its aura so faint it was negligible, into the ground.
Subsequently, Iliyat feigned seizing an opportunity and charged fiercely at the least conspicuous True Order from the Effie region, intending to use him as a breakthrough to escape.
However, when that dark True Order received his punch, he was instantly shattered into pieces. Those pieces were not flesh and blood, but tiny flying insects the size of sesame seeds!
The insects burrowed into Iliyat's unprepared body, relentlessly gnawing at his every inch of flesh.
Following this, Xun Qing and the other two also attacked in succession. Ultimately, Iliyat could no longer complete his resurrection, and his entire body turned into a pile of dust.
George produced a small vial and collected all the dust, planning to find another opportunity later to completely disperse this dust into fundamental particles.
After the engagement, the four exchanged glances and then all flew towards the direction of the slightly balding super-being.
That bizarre aura was too unsettling. Apart from powerhouses of Cataclysm Class and above, it was the first time something had given them such a sense of unease.
Not only the few True Orders but also many powerhouses in the city felt the aura and were rushing towards that direction. If the demon hunters of the association went, and the hidden monsters also went, it would surely lead to great misfortune.
While astonished by the aura, Wen Wen was also worried about the white-robed figure he had vaguely seen earlier. With their appearances being so close in time, could there be an intrinsic connection between them?
Lost in thought, Wen Wen did not notice a small, tender, and cute bat the size of a finger quietly crawling out of the dirt. It clung to the corner of Wen Wen's clothes, its eyes flashing with an eerie light.
This bat was none other than Iliyat. He had succeeded in escaping under the noses of several True Orders by sacrificing the vast majority of his body.
He now possessed only a sliver of power, but he had an extremely potent ability to conceal himself, so much so that even when he was clinging to Wen Wen, Wen Wen did not discover him.
Iliyat intended to follow Wen Wen until he met Tao Qingqing.
Tao Qingqing was hidden by Wen Wen. After Iliyat 'died', Wen Wen would inevitably go to see Tao Qingqing. At that time, he could seize the opportunity to latch onto Tao Qingqing.
Once attached to Tao Qingqing, he could use his own status to forcefully control Tao Qingqing's mind, making her bring him back to the family's stronghold, and then slowly recover his strength.
He was determined to obtain the secret of Tao Qingqing's magical physique. If he could replicate it across all blood races, he would become a supreme ruler leading the blood race to dominance.
Perhaps he could even use this opportunity to break through to the Cataclysm Class!
...
More than ten minutes ago, in the slums of Nim City.
Boyev's eyes widened as he watched the bizarre monster slowly approach him.
Its dark, gaunt body seemed to be filled with twisted hunger, thick mucus flowing through the tiny gaps in its body, and its hollow, tube-like mouthpart aimed at his neck.
Stein Markul bowed slightly to Boyev and then walked away with a cheerful stride.
In his heart, Boyev was already a dead man.
No one could escape the pursuit of the Hound, at least not in Stein's understanding.
If he hadn't possessed his family's ancestral method of deceiving Hounds, which allowed him to redirect the Hound's target to someone else, he would have long since died to the Hound's proboscis, becoming a skeleton with hundreds of years of history.
But no matter how he deceived, the target chosen by the Hound would not cease its hunt until it died, and the effectiveness of the deception would also gradually weaken.
Therefore, he had to obtain the method of evading Hounds from the guide.
