Iliat grew increasingly uneasy. Finally, he couldn't help but roar, and a strange power emanated from him. The phantom of a red moon appeared in the sky, and its crimson moonlight shone down into the underground ballroom.
The buildings above the underground ballroom, illuminated by the red moonlight, seemed to dissolve as if exposed to sulfuric acid, rapidly disappearing into the air and exposing Wen Wen and the others to the moonlight.
Bathed in the moonlight, Wen Wen instantly felt his strength halved. If it weren't for the surging psionic energy within him, he might have been dissolved by the red moonlight.
Under the moonlight, Iliat let out a long breath, looked at his hands, and then hid them in his sleeves. His fingernails had been completely blunted in the previous battle.
"One of my calamity-level traits is the ability to mobilize the Red Moon domain within a certain range. Within this domain, the strength of blood kin is greatly enhanced, while the strength of other superhumans is significantly weakened."
The true Red Moon domain was merely the innate domain of a calamity-level blood kin, capable of easily encompassing an entire city, or even a larger radius.
Even if Iliat could only use a portion of the Red Moon domain's power, Wen Wen and the other two were like lambs to the slaughter. Now that Iliat was about to make his move, Wen Wen had no chance of survival unless he hid in the containment facility.
When Wen Wen fought with Ace before, if it weren't for the interference of Dr. Feng and the chains within Ace's body, he would have had no chance of winning. And compared to Ace, Iliat was clearly much more powerful.
However, Wen Wen was not afraid at all. The reason he had charged at Iliat like a madman wasn't because he wanted to die, but because he was certain that those powerful individuals would not let him die.
Those powerful individuals were not Jin Kela and the others, but Xun Qing and other true-order superhumans from other major regions!
After Wen Wen reported the situation, it immediately caught Xun Qing's attention. He promptly contacted several other true-order individuals to prepare to apprehend Iliat.
There were not many established monster tribes in the Federation. Blood kin, with their unique mode of transmission, stood at the pinnacle of all monster tribes and were one of the largest monster groups.
Currently, there were thirteen major clans of blood kin, each with a strong expert at the Duke level. The common leader of these thirteen blood kin clans was the first calamity-level ancient blood kin to arrive in the real world, known as the Blood Emperor or the Blood God.
That Blood Emperor was not active, only appearing once every hundred years or so to breathe and visit others, letting the other blood kin know he was still alive.
Without a unified leadership, the thirteen blood kin clans essentially operated independently. Some were willing to restrain their behavior and obey management, so the Association would turn a blind eye to them. Others, however, would indulge in mischief, becoming thorns in the Association's side.
Unluckily, Iliat was the most troublesome.
He not only frequently held so-called 'blood feasts' but also attempted to alter the blood kin's genes to become perfect beings without weaknesses, thereby taking over the human world.
Unfortunately, Iliat's movements were extremely secretive, and the Association had never been able to track him. This time, Iliat had appeared on his own. After a brief communication with others, Xun Qing finalized a plan to surround and kill Iliat.
Iliat decided to kill Long Suo and that police officer first, to prevent any further complications, and then force Tao Qingqing's whereabouts from Wen Wen. A red whip materialized in his hand, and he lunged towards Long Suo.
But a figure clad in armor landed in front of Long Suo, effortlessly blocking the blood-red whip with a blue-gold shield. Wen Wen took a closer look and realized that the person behind the shield was a tall blond man.
Wen Wen felt a strange sense of familiarity looking at this man. Upon closer thought, he realized this guy looked very much like Qiao Feiya... However, unlike Qiao Feiya, this handsome blond man possessed the strength of the True Order realm!
Iliat's expression changed: "George Joe All, I received word that you were attending the Hunter Association's triennial exchange conference. Why are you here?"
George was a native True Order demon hunter from the Golden Eagle Great Region. He had been relentlessly pursuing Iliat recently. It was upon receiving news that George was attending the exchange conference that Iliat had decisively come to Nim City.
"The exchange conference... three excellent upper-order hunters... Could it be that the conference venue is here?"
A foreboding premonition arose in Iliat's heart. If his suspicion was correct, he might have walked right into someone else's death trap.
"What do you think?" George asked, drawing his long sword with a playful expression.
Wen Wen noticed the special patterns on George's sword, confirming that he was likely related to Qiao Feiya. But if Qiao Feiya had such connections in the Golden Eagle Great Region, why would she go to the Huafu Great Region to participate in the wanderer assessment?
A deep purple sword light shot towards the sky, with an aura of tearing everything apart, directly severing the blood-red full moon. Wen Wen recognized it as Xun Qing's sword light.
Subsequently, several figures appeared nearby, looking down at the bewildered Iliat.
The black superhuman wearing a linen robe should be from the Afi Great Region.
The slightly balding superhuman riding a giant bear should be from the White Bear Great Region.
The True Order superhuman with his face covered, dressed as a ninja, should be from the Sakura Great Region.
Apart from the Sentence-breakers, True Order superhumans were the highest-level combat power of the Association. Except for some special major incidents, they rarely joined forces against an enemy. Iliat never dreamed that he would be so 'lucky' as to encounter five of them directly.
More crucially, these five should all understand his abilities, while he only knew George Joe All's abilities.
Iliat let out a shrill cry, and a larger full moon formed in the air. There was no point in saying more; he could only go all out to have a sliver of a chance of survival.
But the newly formed Red Moon was, in the next moment, severed by an even more exaggerated sword light, preventing Iliat from maintaining the Red Moon domain around him.
"The Red Moon is a phantom object that does not exist in this dimension and should not be severed..."
Xun Qing stepped on his sword without replying, but Wen Wen knew what was happening, because he used the Heart-Mind Divine Sword. Regardless of whether something existed or not, as long as he willed it, he could sever it!
Xun Qing was Xun Ying's elder brother, so he naturally knew this technique, and he used it even better than Wen Wen.
With the Red Moon domain rendered useless, Iliat immediately transformed into countless bats and flew in all directions. As long as one bat managed to escape, it would mean he had also escaped. Sudan Novel Network.
The slightly balding superhuman shook his head and then loudly declared, "Flying is prohibited in this area!"
