Wen Wen slowly stood up from the ruins after being sent flying by Akalun.
"The consumption along the way was still a bit too much. Akalun's punch this time is nothing compared to before, yet I still find it difficult to bear."
Then, Wen Wen smiled and said to Akalun, "I didn't expect to see you here so soon. Fate is truly mysterious."
"Last time, you got lucky and destroyed my years of accumulation. This time, I will get it all back from you," Akalun said with a ferocious expression.
Akalun was a simple old farmer who loved growing flowers. Wen Wen not only destroyed its flowers, but also the land it planted on, and even its flower storage. Such a deep hatred Akalun had to settle with Wen Wen.
Wen Wen dug at his nose and said, "I got lucky... How do I remember it was you who ran away last time?"
"Whether it was last time or this time, your mouth is always so annoying. When I catch you, I will cut off your mouth and cook it to feed to you. Let's see if you can still talk tough then," Akalun snorted coldly.
When words fail, actions speak louder. Akalun couldn't be bothered to chat with Wen Wen and directly attacked him.
Unlike in the mysterious space, Akalun's attacks outside tended to be straightforward, which was exactly the kind of opponent Wen Wen liked, so Wen Wen smiled and met him head-on.
"Seven Shark Fighting Style!"
Relying on the profound close-combat fighting skills of his Shark Warrior physique, Wen Wen managed to fight Akalun to a draw.
Wen Wen had superior technique, while Akalun was physically stronger. For a while, neither could overcome the other.
If Wen Wen had not been pursued by Shuruman, dealing with Akalun wouldn't have been too difficult. Conversely, if Akalun hadn't been injured in that mysterious space, he wouldn't have been so weakened that he could only fight Wen Wen to a draw.
But even fighting to a draw, Wen Wen's situation wasn't much better. His stamina was already depleted, while Akalun's stamina seemed endless. In such an intense confrontation, Wen Wen could only last for another two or three minutes at most.
"Seven Shark Fighting Style – Spinning Shark Tail!"
Wen Wen kicked Akalun away, patted his chest, and let out a sigh of relief, saying, "Being chased for so long has really made me feel stifled. Being able to fight you so exhilaratingly has made me feel so much better."
"Better? I hope you'll feel even better when I break your limbs later," Akalun said ferociously.
Wen Wen raised his hand to stop Akalun and said, "Hold on a moment. You asked me about Iron King Jinkela last time, and I found out."
Compared to Wen Wen, Akalun's hatred ran deeper. He naturally stopped and asked, "Where is he now? Is he still alive?"
Seeing Akalun's serious expression, Wen Wen replied, "He's living quite comfortably, smiling every day. He also told me that he once beat you into a pile of dung, hahahaha."
After saying that, Wen Wen covered his stomach and slapped his thighs, laughing hysterically. He looked utterly despicable.
Akalun's nostrils flared with white smoke from anger, "You... you!! No matter what you say this time, I won't stop. Let's talk after I dismember you."
"Is that so... Actually, chatting a bit longer would be good for you," Wen Wen stood up, his face as cold as ice. "If you don't talk now, you won't have another chance to have such an equal conversation, because you've already lost."
"Lost?" Akalun frowned. Looking at Wen Wen's calm expression, a sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.
"After escaping from that mysterious space, you never went back, or you didn't stay long after going back, right?" Wen Wen sneered.
"How do you know?" Akalun asked anxiously.
His exclusive space was filled with residual disaster energy. Staying there for too long would harm even him, so he hadn't lingered there much.
Wen Wen raised a finger and dangled it, explaining to Akalun, "Don't rush, listen to me slowly."
"After the last battle ended, you disappeared. I didn't know if you were dead or had escaped. As a cautious person, I had to prepare for the worst."
"So, when I was forced to leave there, I left something behind just in case..."
Akalun's expression changed. "What thing?"
"What do you think?" Wen Wen gave a knowing smile and returned directly to the containment facility, activating his Disaster Overseer state.
When leaving that mysterious space, Wen Wen had left over a dozen puppet rats. He had these rats burrow into the cracks of the earth, shedding their outer shells and leaving only a connection to Wen Wen.
Initially, Wen Wen worried that the rats would be discovered by Akalun, but until now, Akalun had no idea of their existence.
Using the power of the Disaster Overseer, Wen Wen detonated a puppet rat. The mysterious space, already on the verge of shattering, suffered another severe blow and looked even more dilapidated.
After simply detonating one, Wen Wen immediately came out of the containment facility. He wanted to check on Akalun's condition first before deciding whether to detonate the other rats.
Upon emerging, Wen Wen saw Akalun kneeling on the ground, blood flowing from every pore of his body. He was clearly not lightly injured.
Seeing that Akalun was no longer a threat to him, Wen Wen decided not to detonate any more rats. He still wanted this guy to plant the Red Spider Lilies for him; he couldn't just kill him.
"You are despicable!" Akalun said, spitting blood.
Wen Wen shook his head. "Chasing a fugitive isn't despicable; it's called being smart."
After speaking, Wen Wen yelled "Ora ora ora" and used a series of shark fist attacks on Akalun. When he withdrew his fists, Akalun had already fallen to the ground, unable to get up.
Wen Wen glanced back and saw Qiaofeiya kneeling on the ground with her eyes closed, resting. She seemed very tired and didn't have the energy to pay attention to Wen Wen's situation. So, Wen Wen directly picked up Akalun and walked into a nearby corridor.
"Please, don't lock me in there. I'd rather die than go back there. Just kill me..." Akalun, with his teeth knocked out, begged Wen Wen.
Wen Wen cruelly refused, "You'd better serve your time inside obediently. The containment facility now is much gentler than before. At least I won't give you farm manure when I let you plant the Red Spider Lilies..."
After saying that, Wen Wen forcibly dragged the wailing Akalun into the containment facility.
The moment the confinement passage disappeared, Wen Wen's eyes widened, and a black force suddenly emerged from his body.
It replenished some strength to Wen Wen's nearly depleted body, and the range of the Disaster Gloves also expanded.
"This is... the black body's ability has been enhanced, and the enhancement is quite significant!"
