"So, should I kill you, or should I seal you away..."
The howling wind swept past, a byproduct of Tang Haofeiâs roar. Even the mere gust from his mouth required Wen Yu to use the Soul Battlefield to counteract such an "incidental attack."
Wen Yu couldnât help but change direction slightly.
Faceless, noticing this, turned Tang Haofeiâs head in another direction while greedily eyeing the bloodstains on Tang Haofeiâs chest.
For Faceless, it was treasure!
Wen Yu noticed Facelessâs desire and shook his head with a smile, giving up his previous choice, cautiously approaching Tang Haofei and tearing open the collar of Tang Haofeiâs clothes.
The immense physical strength allowed Tang Haofeiâs wounds to heal quickly, now already more than eighty percent healed on his chest.
With precision, Wen Yu collected half a bottle of blood from Tang Haofeiâs wound, looked at the viscous liquid in the bottle, shook it twice with a smile, and returned the blood to the space ring.
The naked insult calmed Tang Haofei down. At this moment, Tang Haofei was panting heavily, his bloodshot eyes glaring fiercely at Wen Yu.
"Kill me..."
There was no plea in his voice; Tang Haofeiâs tone was calm, he desired death, but Wen Yu simply pursed his lips without responding.
Though Wen Yu seemed righteous earlier, he was hesitant when it came to actually eliminating Tang Haofei.
If Tang Haofei had no chance of resurrection, Wen Yu would want to eliminate this trouble hereâsince they were already enemies, extermination was the only option. Once Tang Haofei was dead, everything would be stable!
However, if Tang Haofei still had resurrection chances, even just once, it would be fatal for Wen Yuâa Blood and Flesh Balance Scale (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Active Skills) only works once a day. Without it, Wen Yu would have no way to break Tang Haofeiâs external defense. If Tang Haofei resurrects again, his strength increased fourfold, Faceless would be crushed, and having suffered from Wen Yuâs trickery, Tang Haofei wouldnât fall for it again.
The results were just due to Tang Haofei being in a poor state, unclear-headed, also failing to grasp Wen Yuâs skillsâa fortuitous coincidence. Another round...
Even by sheer imagination, Wen Yu could foresee his miserable fate.
Therefore...
"Sleep, when you wake up again, everything will be better."
Wen Yu whispered gently, like soothing a child. Tang Haofei was merely held in place by Faceless, the red glow in his eyes intensifying until he saw Wen Yu take out a talisman from the space ring.
Deep Sleep Spell (Species-specific Esoteric Level item): By placing this on bare skin and activating the spell, the target is forced into a sleep state, ignoring physical quality, and doesnât require food. Any external attack will awaken the target.
A useless item, yet the only "seal" item the military could find that disregards physical disparities.
Wen Yu approached Tang Haofei slowly, with the Deep Sleep Spell in his right hand, seeing the murderous intent in Tang Haofeiâs eyes grow stronger, Wen Yu remained unfazed until the talisman touched Tang Haofeiâs forehead and emitted its glowing effect.
The black energy in Wen Yuâs hand blossomed, enveloping Tang Haofei like a black cocoon, ensuring he wouldnât be subject to any "attack"-like effects.
Darkness dragged Tang Haofeiâs body floating in mid-air. Looking at Tang Haofeiâs sleeping form, Wen Yu squinted, sighed quietly after a while.
This incident undoubtedly embittered Tang Two; he hoped Lin Haifeng had a way to restore Tang Oneâs personality.
...
In the distance, the storm subsided, yet Fran looked pale, as if facing the final judgment.
Fran understood Tang Haofeiâs skills and Wen Yuâs skill system. Two tigers fighting, in Franâs eyes, was sheer crushing and tortureâWen Yu couldnât possibly survive Tang Haofeiâs attacks; he couldnât even take one move!
This was not just Franâs assessment of Wen Yuâs combat power, but also the consensus among Lin Haifeng and other high military brassâTang Haofei was unbeatable, invincible, the strongest in this world.
Besides intrigue, nothing could really trouble Tang Haofei, and when schemes were uncovered, the conclusion was clearâWen Yu, Lin Haifeng, himself, even Yanjing Assembly Site and Eternal Sky City...everything would be utterly obliterated by an enraged Tang Haofei!
Therefore, as the reverberations from the distant battle erupted, Fran didnât defend, didnât run, didnât leave, he just sat there, face pale.
If Kasu wasnât beside him, using defense skills to fend off the aerial thunderstormâs debris, he might have been torn to pieces. Yet even so, Kasu felt at his limit as the battleâs residual halted.
"Huff...huff..."
Labored breathing escaped Kasuâs mouth, utterly drained. He felt out of energy, his clothes in tatters, covered in wounds. He turned to the empty-eyed Fran.
"Letâs go...we should leave now, or itâll be too late."
"Leave? Where to?"
"Anywhere, as long as itâs not Yanjing. Just stay away from him."
"Hm hm..."
Fran coldly chuckled self-mockingly.
"Far away, for a monster traversing Earth in three minutes, how far is far enough?"
Kasu was silent; Earth was vast, but not for a powerful expert like Tang Haofei, adding his perception ability, finding someone wouldnât be difficult.
"Perhaps Tang Haofei wonât bother with small fry like us."
This was the only hope. Poor Kasu, a Sequence Number 5, saw himself as mere pawn.
Fran silently shook his head. After working in Yanjing for so long, Fran had grown deeply reliant and attached to the Yanjing Assembly Site.
If destruction were inevitable, let him perish alongside Yanjing!
With that in mind, Fran stood up, ignored Kasuâs warnings, walking straight toward the stormâs source.
Until Fran met a familiar figure.
...
"Grr grr..."
Words caught in his throat, making eerie noises, seeing Wen Yu with wrinkled clothes, and the strong man lying behind him in darkness, Franâs eyes widened with shock, doubt, disbelief.
"How is it possible!"
Uncontrollably voicing his doubts; Fran expected the game to be set, but the situation had entirely reversed.
Yet Wen Yu met Franâs astonished gaze with a mysterious smile.
"Nothing is impossible, the specifics of battle...now that would be a magnificent epic, so, want to hear it?"
Fran was silent, then burst into a grin, his old face suddenly appearing a decade younger.
"Really, thank you."
Wen Yu shook his head.
"I was merely fulfilling my promise."
Then, Wen Yu pointed at Tang Haofei behind him.
"Now, letâs discuss how to deal with this trouble."
Franâs smile couldnât be concealed, he held up a communicator to Wen Yu.
"Donât worry, the cleanup has long been arranged and settled."
