Wen Wen hovered thousands of meters in the sky, countless black light swords condensing into form. Chains with sharp barbs connected these light swords, creating a large net in the sky that obscured the surrounding heavens.
Then, Wen Wen, carrying the myriad long swords, swooped down.
Kou Qing let out a sinister laugh, bent his knees, and leaped up, swinging his fist at Wen Wen. The two collided violently in mid-air, and a rain of black energy began to fall around them.
Under Kou Qing's deliberate hardening, his body became incredibly strong. Even with Wen Wen's ultimate move, he only sustained some insignificant minor wounds.
However, Wen Wen's grand and imposing attack was merely a feint. His true killing blow was hidden behind it.
Amidst the dense rain of black energy, a black long saber extended from Wen Wen's palm. This saber was slender and sharp, its design simple yet incisive.
As Wen Wen gripped the hilt, dim patterns spread from the hilt across the entire blade, and black shadows materialized on its surface.
Kou Qing's expression contorted into a grimace, and he thrust his sharp black claws towards Wen Wen. A sharp glint appeared in Wen Wen's eyes. With one hand, he pushed the black saber forward. The saber's tip and Kou Qing's fingertips touched, like needle points meeting.
In Kou Qing's anticipation, Wen Wen's saber should have been deflected, and his hand should have pierced Wen Wen's chest.
But to his surprise, the black long saber, ignoring his formidable claws, directly pierced his palm and continued upwards, slicing all the way to his shoulder. The lingering force of the saber extended dozens of meters behind Kou Qing, leaving clear marks in the air.
Kou Qing broke free from the saber and fell to the ground. Emerald green blood splattered onto the earth, and the ground it touched rapidly corroded and deteriorated, as if heavily polluted.
"What is that saber!"
Looking at the long saber in Wen Wen's hand, Kou Qing was filled with astonishment. So many things had challenged his understanding today.
Why would a weapon of this caliber appear in the hands of a native of this world?
Wen Wen gripped the long saber and gave it a gentle shake, flicking off the contaminating blood. The long saber then retracted back into Wen Wen's body.
After all, this black saber was the weapon of the black-robed man. It was only natural that it could penetrate Kou Qing's defenses. However, its effectiveness far exceeded Wen Wen's expectations. The Disaster-level Blood River Sword could only slightly scratch the surface of Kou Qing's tough body, whereas the black saber cut through it as if slicing tofu.
Each powerful cut from the black saber required energy from the black shadow within. This energy needed to be nurtured in the containment facility to slowly recover.
However, it should be sufficient for dealing with Kou Qing.
"Brother, you've had your fun. Let me handle it from here."
A familiar voice echoed, and a figure dressed in a black ninja cosplay outfit charged from Kou Qing's side, placing his palm on Kou Qing's head.
Then, cracks like fissures appeared in the air, and Kou Qing was propelled hundreds of meters away by an irresistible force. Mid-air, he encountered similar cracks and was driven deep into the ground.
Standing where Kou Qing had been was the small-eyed fellow who shared a similar taste with Wen Wen.
He lifted his hood and mask, revealing a face that was slightly immature yet carried a hint of arrogance.
He had long, thick black hair, tied with a cloth band just below his neck, giving him an air of carefree elegance without appearing disheveled.
"I just thought you looked agreeable before, brother. I didn't expect you to be so unfathomably powerful. Truly, strong individuals are drawn to each other."
"After this is over, how about we go for a drink? I am Kyōgoku Kūra."
Wen Wen's pupils contracted, and he took two steps back, cutting down a large tree with a single saber strike. He then sat on the tree, signaling that he was handing the battlefield over to the young man before him.
Kyōgoku Kūra, a super rookie of the last twenty years.
He was far more famous than Jofia, Halman, and Wen Wen.
Upon awakening, he possessed the Assimilation realm and effortlessly climbed to the True Sequence level of strength. Not only was his realm high, but his combat prowess was also extremely formidable.
The last time Wen Wen heard news of Kyōgoku Kūra, he had defeated two veteran True Sequence level superhumans single-handedly.
He hadn't expected him to have now crossed the boundary between mortal and divine, becoming a Disaster-level superhuman!
Wen Wen looked at the young man speechlessly. He considered himself to have had quite the cheat in his progress, but he was still not advancing as quickly as the person before him.
Kyōgoku Kūra's ability was to control a type of exotic energy resembling shockwaves. He could use this exotic energy to easily shatter small portions of space, thereby inflicting extremely powerful damage.
Upon learning who he was, Wen Wen suddenly understood how Kyōgoku, while cosplaying as a ninja, had suddenly moved from a lamppost to in front of him.
He had shattered the space between himself and Wen Wen. The space automatically repaired itself, and he appeared before Wen Wen.
This likely involved extremely fine energy manipulation, otherwise Wen Wen wouldn't have been unaware of any abnormality.
Since Kyōgoku Kūra had appeared, Wen Wen no longer insisted on fighting Kou Qing himself. He deactivated his Disaster state and sat on the tree trunk, watching the two battle.
The Disaster state only lasted for a little over ten minutes a day, and Wen Wen wasn't extravagant enough to maintain it while watching a show.
Besides, as long as the black robe was worn, he appeared to have Disaster-level strength to outsiders, so he didn't need to worry about being exposed.
The dizzy and disoriented Kou Qing crawled out of the dirt, baring his teeth at Kyōgoku Kūra. The sudden sneak attack had given him a severe headache.
"What is happening to this world? Has it become this dangerous... I am a Star Realm God!"
Kou Qing truly felt aggrieved at this moment. Shouldn't a Star Realm God be at the pinnacle of this world? Why had he not had a single comfortable day since waking from his seal?
He was targeted by the Beast God and then slapped down by the Moon God, came to complete Ensuke's mission, then suffered setbacks at the hands of a mere superhuman, followed by a lunatic suddenly appearing and hacking at him, and finally this guy named Kyōgoku showing up to stir trouble...
He slightly regretted accepting Ensuke's mission. It wasn't that he didn't want to share Ensuke's burden, but he truly couldn't!
Kyōgoku Kūra wouldn't wait for Kou Qing to prepare before attacking. Fissures reappeared in the air, and with a burst of sound, Kyōgoku's leg kicked Kou Qing's abdomen.
Kou Qing was sent flying again, but this time he wasn't as disheveled as before. Although he didn't understand Kyōgoku's abilities, he wouldn't be so easily defeated in close-quarters combat.
"Arrogant and ignorant brat, you will pay for your actions!"
Sharp bone spurs continuously grew from Kou Qing's body. These bone spurs were all entwined with foul energy, making him several times more ferocious than before, though the palm wounded by Wen Wen had still not healed.
Kyōgoku chuckled, and his cosplay outfit exploded, revealing a form-fitting combat suit.
He had only been warming up just now!
