The sharp needle tip, carrying a cold glint, stabbed towards the black palm. Dr. Feng's face showed a hint of a smile.
The expected scenario of piercing the palm instantly did not appear. The palm nimbly rotated, allowing the needle tip to wedge into the gap of a ring. Then, with a forceful flip, the needle tip was snapped.
Witnessing this, Dr. Feng suddenly retreated, his gaze fixed warily on the decadent, blond man in the khaki suit who had appeared before him.
This newly arrived man was naturally Wen Wen. To avoid alerting Eiswarcas, he maintained his appearance from the mine.
If it weren't for being forced, Wen Wen truly wished he didn't have to face Dr. Feng alone. The mad botanist wasn't difficult to deal with, but who knew if the mysterious fugitive, Eiswarcas, was hiding nearby? Facing two opponents, Wen Wen might not be their match.
Wen Wen had initially thought Dr. Feng would at least chat with Tao Qingqing for a while longer, allowing him to gather more intelligence until Zhu Qipei and the other arrived. He hadn't expected his ruthlessness to exceed expectations, intending to destroy Tao Qingqing directly.
"To think you're a Disaster Upper-Sequence esper. It seems you're the one who's been tracking my movements in Copper Ridge City. You must be a demon hunter, right? I originally thought it would be that pig-head or my foolish brother who would follow me."
Dr. Feng's lips curved slightly. Among the Disaster Upper-Sequence espers, his direct combat power was at the lower end. Facing Wen Wen directly put him at a disadvantage. However, upon discovering Tao Qingqing's infiltration, he had already notified his teacher, Eiswarcas. The current situation was essentially two against one!
But before his smile could even fade, Wen Wen had already flickered to his front and unleashed a punch.
Seven Shark Fighting Style. Empty Shark Fist!
Dr. Feng hadn't anticipated Wen Wen attacking without a word. He was instantly struck in the chest by the punch and sent flying back at cannonball speed, embedding himself in the wall, with only his legs exposed.
Wen Wen, meanwhile, used the time to tear away the vines binding Tao Qingqing, then created a hole in the ceiling, allowing Tao Qingqing to escape through it.
Though she seemed to escape through the opening, she was actually absorbed into the containment facility by Wen Wen midway, thus avoiding the possibility of an ambush outside.
Dr. Feng, embedded in the wall, wriggled strangely and stood before Wen Wen, completely unharmed. He said with a sinister grin, "Such great power. Are you a melee-type esper? How fortunate."
Dr. Feng's abilities were most vulnerable to fire, earth, ice, and similar elemental attacks. Cutting-type abilities were manageable, but he was completely unfazed by blunt force attacks.
He couldn't erase the existence of plants, nor could he sever their roots. Pure blunt force, no matter how powerful, could be ignored by the regenerative capabilities of plants!
But immediately, to Dr. Feng's dumbfounded gaze, Wen Wen pulled out a rocket launcher and fired a thermobaric bomb at him.
Bright explosive flames filled the basement. The residual force burst out of the basement, igniting the entire orphanage. From Sudan Novels.
As the power erupted, Wen Wen rushed out of the basement, knocked out the manipulated teachers and children outside the orphanage, and loaded them into the containment facility. He then scattered dozens of spears around as teleportation points before floating in mid-air, waiting for Dr. Feng to emerge.
The power of the thermobaric bomb was fatal to Disaster Lower-Sequence monsters, but for Dr. Feng, it was still somewhat insufficient, even with the elemental advantage.
After only a little over ten minutes, thick plant branches extended from underground, growing into lush foliage, forming a towering tree composed of various plant branches. The original orphanage buildings were merely the roots of this great tree. Dr. Feng stood at the treetop, his face dark, staring intently at Wen Wen.
His dark face was not an expression, but a literal darkening. Not just his face, but his white tailcoat had also turned pitch black. His green hat had disappeared, and his verdant hair was curled by the flames.
"Hahaha, your hair looks like a head of broccoli, hahaha..."
Wen Wen bent over dramatically, mocking without restraint. His laughter was extremely grating to Dr. Feng.
Dr. Feng roared, "Stop laughing! This is a fight to the death, not a game!"
The laughter continued.
"It's time to stop now!"
Furious, Dr. Feng tore off the broccoli-like hair and threw it on the ground, revealing a gleaming bald head.
That's right, Dr. Feng was bald. The green, luxurious hair was a wig made of plants. Even as a Disaster Upper-Sequence master botanist, hair loss was a problem he couldn't overcome.
However, with this, only his scalp was clean and smooth, making him even more comical than before, so Wen Wen laughed even louder.
Dr. Feng's composure finally snapped. He roared, "Die!"
More than a dozen vines, as thick as overpass piers and covered in purple thorns, lunged towards Wen Wen's location, lashing wildly at the space there. After more than ten seconds, the plants dispersed, and the spot was empty.
Dr. Feng's face sank. Before the vines had completely enveloped the area, he seemed to have heard a snap of fingers. And that guy had appeared suddenly, likely possessing spatial abilities!
As soon as he grasped this, Wen Wen's figure appeared behind him, forming his hand into a blade and slashing down.
Seven Shark Fighting Style. Split Shark Palm!
Caught off guard, Dr. Feng was hit directly by the move, plummeting like a meteor, snapping several thick plants he controlled, and creating a large crater in the ground.
Wen Wen hovered in mid-air, looking down at the hole in the ground. His fight against Dr. Feng was almost entirely a complete suppression, not just due to the difference in abilities, but also the gap in combat experience.
The initial maniacal laughter was intended to enrage Dr. Feng, making him lose his composure and attack mindlessly, thus allowing Wen Wen to find an opportunity to defeat him easily.
Dr. Feng was a researcher and had experienced many battles, but most of them were planned and executed with deliberation. He rarely encountered surprise attacks, which was why he suffered such a significant loss.
A contorted arm extended from the crater on the ground. The joints of the arm twisted unnaturally before finally returning to normal.
Then, Dr. Feng crawled out of the crater, his expression showing lingering fear. If he hadn't reacted in time at the last moment and made some defensive preparations, he would have been defeated by now.
This is how battles between espers are. Even with similar strength, victory can be decided in an instant. A moment of carelessness is enough to cost a life.
Dr. Feng stood up, looking at Wen Wen solemnly and saying, "You are a formidable opponent. I will not give you any openings anymore. You will regret not killing me just now."
Wen Wen's lips curved slightly as he said, "Do you think I calculated your landing spot when I knocked you down?"
Dr. Feng then realized that behind him, a golden spear was inserted!
