The corrupting and evil power infiltrated Chu Wei’s body, turning his veins black. He felt as if countless insects were gnawing at him, causing intense pain, but he was utterly immobilized.
Just as this power was about to reach Chu Wei’s core, about to annihilate him completely, a potent force with a bloody scent directly expelled Hou Qing's power from his body.
The collision of their powers rendered the surrounding area, spanning over ten meters, silent and turned to dust. Chu Wei’s body was also vaporized.
The clash of two Disaster-level powerhouses did not emit any overwhelming aura; only a faint presence was released. Normally, the vast majority of superhumans would not be able to detect it.
However, at this convention, there were two individuals capable of sensing this abnormal power collision: Wen Wen and Jing Ji Kongluo.
Chu Wei’s body quietly respawned beside the crater. He looked at Hou Qing, whose face was contorted and terrifying, trembling slightly.
What he had just experienced was undoubtedly the most terrifying ordeal of his life.
Moreover, after this revival, he seemed to have changed somehow…
Chu Wei touched his mouth and discovered four fangs had appeared. These fangs were exceptionally robust, much tougher than those of a typical vampire, resembling zombie teeth.
However, unlike zombie teeth, there were small grooves and hollows behind them, seemingly designed for siphoning blood, much like vampire fangs.
Most importantly, Chu Wei felt the presence of power for the first time.
Previously, despite possessing immortality, his strength was significantly inferior to superhumans of the same level, forcing him to rely on his immortality to wear down enemies.
Now, while his strength still couldn’t match superhumans of similar caliber, he at least possessed some capacity to resist.
Hou Qing stared at Chu Wei in astonishment. The power Chu Wei had unleashed in that instant was undoubtedly at the level of a Star Realm God!
This indicated that Chu Wei was far more complex than he appeared. But why had he managed to push Hou Qing away, and yet the zombie transformation had still succeeded?
“No… he hasn’t been completely transformed into a zombie. His body is still alive, merely possessing some zombie characteristics, and… I cannot control him!”
Hou Qing’s expression turned grim. This meant that the man before him had reaped the benefits of becoming a zombie without suffering any of its restrictions.
The precious drop of essence blood he had injected into Chu Wei had entirely served as a stepping stone for Chu Wei.
“Who are you? Come out. You tricked me, you shouldn’t hide your face.”
“Come out?”
Chu Wei looked at Hou Qing in confusion. There was no one else around.
After a moment of thought, Chu Wei understood. After the battle at Qingji Plateau, he had indeed heard Wen Wen mention that something was hidden within him.
Could it have been that entity that saved him just now?
“Since you won’t come out, I’ll forcefully drag you out. It doesn’t matter if your container is damaged!”
Bone spurs grew from Hou Qing’s body, and he spoke to Chu Wei with a sinister, gloomy aura.
“Disaster-level…”
Wen Wen’s eyes darkened as he gazed at Hou Qing, a spectral black cross appearing behind him. This was a Disaster-level powerhouse he had never encountered before.
The world was changing daily, and there were too many situations beyond his control.
“Judging by his appearance, this guy is no good. I’ll try a surprise attack first.”
Wen Wen took a deep breath, his black robe enveloping him as he transformed into his Disaster state.
Then, the Blood River Sword materialized in his hand, and surging black energy poured into its blade, elevating its power to another level.
The Blood River Sword was Wen Wen’s own weapon and could grow alongside him. When Wen Wen transformed into his Disaster state, the sword also became a Disaster-level weapon.
‘Ghostly Swordplay: Dragon Slaying Style!’
Wen Wen suddenly appeared behind Hou Qing and slashed downwards with his sharp sword. The formidable sword energy seemed capable of cleaving mountains.
A glint flashed in Hou Qing’s pupils. He extended his sharp claws to block the Blood River Sword, producing a piercing metallic clang. The sword energy spread for several kilometers, slicing everything in its path in two.
Chu Wei was directly blown hundreds of meters away by the shockwave, landing on the ground with a mangled body.
He gave a wry smile, realizing he was worse off than before. A similar impact would have certainly killed him previously, but now, being half-dead was more painful.
The immense commotion awakened everyone at the convention. Coupled with Jing Ji Kongluo’s prior notification, the demon hunters were not in a panic but were evacuating in an orderly fashion.
This was a battle between Disaster-level entities, and they, as ordinary demon hunters, could not intervene. Only a few higher-tier demon hunters remained at a relatively safe distance, observing the battle.
After his first sword strike was blocked, Wen Wen did not hesitate. He transformed into a streak of light, his sharp sword aiming for Hou Qing’s chest.
This attack was not powerful, but it was exceptionally fast. Even Hou Qing could only dodge slightly, avoiding the vital areas.
‘Ghostly Swordplay: Soul Severing Flash!’
Following this, Wen Wen unleashed several more sword energies at Hou Qing. Each strike landed squarely on Hou Qing’s body, forcing him to retreat steadily.
Though all this seemed lengthy, it had actually transpired in less than a minute.
Wen Wen landed gracefully and raised his hand to examine the Blood River Sword, his brow furrowed deeply.
Hou Qing’s hardness far exceeded his expectations. All his previous attacks had only left a shallow mark on Hou Qing’s chest with the Soul Severing Flash. The remaining attacks had merely made Hou Qing appear disheveled, but had caused no effective damage.
The Blood River Sword was already a Disaster-level weapon, and it was still so difficult to deal with him. Just how strong was this guy’s body?
Hou Qing grinned sinisterly and punched the ground before him. The ground rippled, and Wen Wen, standing dozens of meters away, was lifted by the rising earth directly above Hou Qing’s head.
Subsequently, Hou Qing leaped up and punched towards Wen Wen’s chest. Wen Wen hurriedly blocked with his sword in front of his chest. Hou Qing, without evasion, struck the sword blade with his fist, sending Wen Wen flying into the sky like a baseball, like a rising missile, leaving a scorching trail in the air.
Wen Wen traveled over a thousand meters before stopping. He looked at Hou Qing in alarm, questioning if this guy’s strength was unfair. His speed was also terrifyingly potent.
Hou Qing was a rare Star Realm God who primarily relied on physical strength.
Aside from his ability to create zombies and his comparatively low energy level among Star Realm Gods, Hou Qing had invested almost all his abilities into his physique.
This body was an absolute combat machine. In terms of sheer physical resilience, very few Star Realm Gods could match him.
However, Wen Wen was not intimidated. Disaster-level combat did not solely depend on physical strength; overall capability was the fundamental factor.
