Nie Ying was close to tears. She regretted provoking Wen Wen so much earlier.
What should she do now? She had a parasitic ghost in her body, and couldn't even surrender!
"Handsome..."
"Handsome what? Ugly short-eyed guys, you should all get plastic surgery!"
Nie Ying decided to go all out. She reached behind her, flicking her wrist to release three daggers. The daggers flew off in different directions, and Nie Ying's body instantly disappeared.
Nie Ying possessed ten such daggers, which were a set of superpower items.
Her ability was to create shadowy environments, so even though Wen Wen had dispersed all nearby shadows, she could still use her abilities.
Wen Wen, suspended in mid-air, flicked his fingers twice. Several energy light swords shot out, striking down all three daggers. Using the shadows cast by the daggers, Nie Ying was completely exposed before Wen Wen.
Nie Ying jumped out from beside a dagger, screaming as she hurled two daggers at Wen Wen. Since she couldn't escape, she might as well try to defeat Wen Wen!
One dagger flew above, the other below, casting two shadows on the ground.
Nie Ying was supposed to be within these two shadows. Wen Wen calmly flicked out two energy swords, piercing the two shadows. The expected scream of agony did not materialize.
Then Wen Wen saw Nie Ying leap out from above the lower dagger, her expression fierce as she thrust the dagger towards Wen Wen's neck.
They were very close now, and Wen Wen hadn't expected Nie Ying to emerge from that spot.
However, the decapitation Nie Ying envisioned did not happen. Wen Wen directly grabbed her hand and kicked her in the chest, sending her flying to the ground.
Since the woman was already flat-chested, there was no need to worry about kicking her flatter.
Although Wen Wen had been using ranged attacks since Nie Ying appeared, his true strength lay in his close-combat abilities. Her attempt to defeat him this way was pure delusion.
Then, Wen Wen extended his right hand to the side. Half of his forearm disappeared into the air. Slowly, Wen Wen drew out his hand, pulling out a longsword entwined with scarlet streams of energy.
The longsword was entirely black, with red veins resembling those in blood vessels. Illusory red gas, like a great river of blood, drifted around Wen Wen.
As the longsword was fully drawn, the sky above Nie Ying seemed to be dyed red by this blood-red sword. The accumulated snow on the ground also turned crimson. The sharp sword hum caused the surrounding snow to melt rapidly, flowing on the ground like blood.
The aura of the Blood River Sword was vast and eerie. Even Tao Qingqing, who was watching, felt her scalp tingle and her heart race, wanting to flee the scene.
Although the original Blood River Sword was fierce, it had never been like this. Just its aura made her feel heavy and oppressed, like a ferocious demon descended upon the world.
Wen Wen walked slowly towards Nie Ying, dragging the longsword on the ground. Everywhere the sword tip grazed turned a deep scarlet.
Nie Ying clutched her chest, her legs feeling numb. She was completely suppressed by the aura of the Blood River Sword, unable to even escape.
Wen Wen raised the longsword, a grim smile on his face, and swung it towards Nie Ying's head. Nie Ying, watching the approaching sword edge, rolled her eyes and fainted. A faint smell of urine filled the air.
She had actually been scared unconscious by the Blood River Sword!
Wen Wen disdainfully collected Nie Ying into the containment facility. He then looked at Tao Qingqing, who was standing nearby and trembling slightly, his gaze drawn curiously to the Blood River Sword.
The change in this longsword was truly too drastic.
With just a few drops of divine blood, the Blood River Sword's power had undergone a cataclysmic transformation. The sword was already very powerful before, but now, solely by its ferocity, it had scared unconscious a superpowered individual at the Upper Order!
After merging with the divine blood, the Blood River Sword was like a new entity!
This sparked some unpleasant thoughts in Wen Wen's mind, which he quickly suppressed.
If a member of an evil, secretive organization discovered that divine blood could cause such a significant change in their weapons, they would surely kill Xiao Jiang and then... the Xishu Valley... Sultan Novel Network.
In terms of dangerous thoughts, Wen Wen was no less than any villain.
But the difference was, Wen Wen could restrain these insane thoughts and adhere to his own principles.
Wen Wen stroked the blade of the Blood River Sword, then his expression turned strange. He realized that while the Blood River Sword's power had increased, it hadn't increased as dramatically as it appeared.
In terms of pure destructive power, the Blood River Sword had only been enhanced by sixty to seventy percent compared to before. However, its imposing aura had increased by several times, and it had gained the power to awe the soul.
Still, imposing aura was also a form of strength, so Wen Wen was quite satisfied. He felt he had indeed gained a great bargain.
Subsequently, Wen Wen put away the Blood River Sword, stretched lazily, and said to Tao Qingqing, "The troublesome person is gone now. It's time for us to prepare to go to sea."
"Go... go to sea?" Tao Qingqing was stunned.
"Yes, why else would I come near the docks? We'll likely have to travel a long distance underwater, at least an hour."
Wen Wen stated matter-of-factly. Although his destination was near the Arctic Circle, there was no way to enter through normal means. Only the seabed held the entrance.
"But... but we didn't bring any diving suits, nor did we bring any swimsuits."
Wen Wen countered, "Why would we need swimsuits? Is there any difference between those and underwear?"
Tao Qingqing rubbed her hair. From the perspective of coverage area, there indeed seemed to be no significant difference...
"Alright then..."
Tao Qingqing glanced hesitantly at their surroundings. She hadn't expected to accompany Wen Wen for a winter swim in a place like this. It was simply madness.
Winter swimming in the Arctic Circle was not difficult for Tao Qingqing. She inherently preferred cold over heat.
However, if they were swimming for an hour, wearing their current clothes would be too cumbersome. It would be best to proceed in only their undergarments.
Seeing Tao Qingqing shiver in the cold wind after packing her outer clothes into a bag, Wen Wen asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say we were going swimming?" Tao Qingqing asked exasperatedly.
Wen Wen tapped his chest plate twice. Two transparent shields covered them both. "Isn't this fine? Neither of us needs to get wet."
Then Wen Wen threw Tao Qingqing an oxygen tank. "Although we can hold our breath for an hour, there's no need to suffer."
Wen Wen walked to a patch of ice, placed his hand on the ground, and trembled slightly. The ice layer, more than a meter thick, suddenly exploded. Then Wen Wen snapped his fingers, pulling two rickshaws out of the containment facility and releasing two monsters.
Both monsters had fish heads; they were Ben Bohr and Ba Bohr.
"Get on. Did you think we were going to swim there?"
Tao Qingqing looked at her clothes, which she had already put into the bag, then at the shield covering her body. With a sigh, she sat directly on the rickshaw.
This Wen Wen, his humanity was truly rotten.
