The feline tribes were primary targets for the Death Knights, besides the Enemy Containment Facility from a thousand years ago. As for Ya Chong, as long as he didn't provoke him, he wouldn't attack Ya Chong either.
Their True Order organization consisted of more than just Xi Luoman and the Death Knight, and their influence wasn't as scattered as that of the Profane Blood. The majority of their strength lay dormant within the Hua Prefecture.
Even if the Hua Prefecture Hunter Branch wished to eradicate them, they wouldn't be intimidated. Yet, despite this, the Death Knight didn't want excessive friction with the Hunter Association.
Once they angered the Hunter Association, drawing out a Cataclysm-level entity or the full force of the Federal Hunter Headquarters' encirclement, even they would suffer heavy losses.
Seeing the Death Knight make the first move, Ya Chong, after some thought, joined the Death Knight in attacking the Mother Tiger and Jin Dahuhu.
While unfamiliar True Orders like the Death Knight and Xi Luoman posed significant threats, they were nowhere near as dangerous to humans as feline species, which expanded their numbers through contagion. The choice of priority was clear.
With cultivators at the True Order realm engaging in battle, their subordinates couldn't simply stand by and watch. Thus, the fighting began simultaneously.
For the feline tribes, both sides were enemies. However, the Hunter Association had previously instilled fear in them. The fugitive side, on the other hand, only had two monsters, so they decided to crush these easier opponents first before dealing with the demon hunters.
One of the two fugitives was a smaller beast, its body without fur, smooth and white as jade. The other was a heavily armored, humanoid crocodile. Soon, the felines discovered that these two were not easy to handle.
The white beast was incredibly slippery. Attacks aimed at it would twist and deflect, striking other felines instead.
The humanoid crocodile, however, was exceptionally ferocious, fearless of any attack. It would charge violently at anything it encountered, tearing it to shreds.
Both monsters were at the Upper Calamity Order, and not just ordinary ones; they were at least on par with the previously encountered Qiao Feiya.
Seeing the melee begin, Wen Wen quietly recalled all the monsters he had dispatched earlier, believing they had played long enough.
With the battlefield chaotic, Wen Wen decided not to let his monsters add to the confusion.
He then joined the fray himself. His earlier Black Body enhancement had restored some of his strength, making him capable of participating.
However, as the fight progressed, Wen Wen noticed something was amiss.
Not all True Order cultivators were engaged in the battle. Xi Luoman's repulsive form still floated in the air, its countless eyes within bubbles all focused on Wen Wen.
It was clear that Xi Luoman's target was still Wen Wen!
"Damn it, this guy is too persistent."
Seeing Xi Luoman about to attack, Wen Wen gritted his teeth and charged out of the crowd. Xi Luoman could repair itself with corpses, and ordinary attacks were ineffective against it. Fighting within the crowd would only lead to more casualties.
Then, Wen Wen pulled out the Buddha Gatling and unleashed a barrage of bullets at Xi Luoman, followed by attempts with various other weapons, all of which proved ineffective.
Noticing Xi Luoman not participating in the True Order realm battle but instead detaching to attack demon hunters, Ya Chong unleashed a punch, intending to pull it back into the fray.
However, the Death Knight swung its spear, intercepting the punch. The two tigers then seized the opportunity to launch a fierce assault on Ya Chong, preventing him from rescuing Wen Wen.
Qiao Feiya attempted to unleash her Sword Qi Burst Stream against Xi Luoman again, but as soon as she raised her sword, she felt unbearable pain. She was unable to execute a third strike.
Other demon hunters also wanted to aid Wen Wen, but he held them back. Wen Wen understood clearly that unless a suitable or powerful esper could assist, more people facing this monster would be futile. Any slight misstep could lead to them being eliminated by Xi Luoman.
Wen Wen was pursued by Xi Luoman, his head held low in retreat. But after a brief escape, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.
Everyone had their breaking point, especially Wen Wen, who had been exercising considerable restraint. This entity had been relentlessly pursuing him, and even now, with a major battle raging elsewhere, it continued to chase him.
"Ultimately, you're the fugitive, and I'm the prison warden. Why should I be constantly chased by you!"
Black chains with sharp barbs were unleashed from Wen Wen's hands. Espers' weapons or containment items would be corrupted by this entity, but these chains certainly wouldn't be.
If Wen Wen could shake off this pursuer, he would certainly not expose his chains. But with Xi Luoman clinging to him like a stubborn piece of gum, Wen Wen intended to fight this True Order level entity with these chains!
"Even if you treat me like a piece of candy, I'll still knock out one of your teeth!"
If all else failed, he would escape into the containment facility when he was close to death. Cowardice was not an option!
Seeing Wen Wen, who was being chased, charge towards it with a ferocious expression, Xi Luoman paused in surprise. With its abilities, such a charge was akin to seeking death.
However, it had received orders from the Death Knight not to take Wen Wen's life. Under Wen Wen's berserker-like assault, it found itself restricted.
After a while longer, Xi Luoman had been struck multiple times by Wen Wen's chains. These chains could indeed harm it, forcing it to split its body to evade Wen Wen's attacks.
Wen Wen, his ferocity ignited, fought with increasing fervor, falling into a state of near madness.
Fighting Xi Luoman was incredibly stressful because Xi Luoman could withstand countless attacks, while he could lose his combat ability from a single strike.
But in this extreme state, Wen Wen felt his combat prowess had significantly improved compared to before. Various moves and tactics flowed effortlessly, leaving Xi Luoman scrambling.
Although Xi Luoman was fundamentally unharmed, it appeared as though Wen Wen had the upper hand. The other demon hunters occasionally glancing at Wen Wen were astonished.
If Wen Wen survived this encounter, he might become another topic of conversation among the demon hunters.
Qiao Feiya, twirling a strand of hair, revealed a faint smile.
She had once expressed a desire to spar with Wen Wen, but after fighting alongside him, that thought had faded considerably. While Wen Wen's evasion skills were astonishing, they didn't ignite her fighting spirit.
However, this current Wen Wen, appearing like a berserker, had captured her attention. She wished to have a proper spar with him.
Wen Wen and Xi Luoman continued their fierce battle for about ten minutes. Even with Wen Wen entering a state of 'burst power,' an insurmountable gap remained between him and the True Order level monster. As the fight wore on, his stamina finally gave out, and he was on the verge of collapse.
"I'm no longer able to fight. It seems I'll have to hide in the containment facility... A shame, there are too many people here. Losing face by acting like a deserter in front of so many people."
Many were now watching the battle between Wen Wen and Xi Luoman, meaning Wen Wen would have to flee under everyone's gaze.
Just then, a familiar voice reached Wen Wen's ears, dispelling his thoughts of retreating into the containment facility.
"You've done well enough. Leave the rest to me."
