After seeing Yuan Zhi off, Wen Wen flew directly to the source of the light, the front of the church.
He wanted to see what had transformed everyone in the entire town into this twisted state.
Landing on the ground, Wen Wen shouted, "You came for me, didn't you? I'm here now, come out!"
The opponent's objective was too obvious. Yuan Zhi was an ordinary person. If they truly wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't have lived to see Wen Wen.
The townspeople, who seemed to be everywhere, did not pursue them to the church. They simply stood still, praying in that direction.
They believed that this church could cleanse all sins. Since Wen Wen had arrived on his own, they no longer needed to do anything extra.
After waiting for a while, footsteps sounded from behind Wen Wen.
Wen Wen turned around and saw a burly man, over two meters tall and more than a meter wide, with a small head and thin legs, shaped like a spindle, walking towards him.
The man was wearing a set of classic full-body armor that shimmered with silver light. However, due to his immense physique, the armor had many gaps, which Wen Wen saw as weak points everywhere.
Judging by his aura, he was likely at the mastery realm. Wen Wen wondered how the fight would go.
The man said in a gruff voice, "Demon Hunter, do you know Yan Xiu?"
"I do," Wen Wen replied casually. His eyebrows raised. Sending a message to Yan Xiu had indeed brought some trouble, but it was within his expectations.
If there were no trouble at all, Yan Xiu would not have needed to entrust him, a demon hunter, with the message.
"Then that's confirmed. You have something belonging to our Glorious Church. Hand it over, and you can leave."
"Heh heh, you must be dreaming!"
Wen Wen’s face was filled with mockery. He had successfully stolen something from the Glorious Church when he was still an ordinary person, so he naturally felt no reverence for them.
The burly man drew a greatsword. This greatsword was similar in model to the one Wen Wen used in his Golden Eagle form. He slammed it onto the ground.
"Demon Hunter, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You don't know the consequences of angering us."
Wen Wen scratched his head, walked up to the burly man, and poked his soft belly through the gaps in the armor, much to the man's fury.
"Tsk, what are you trying to do dressed like this, cosplay?"
"The Bishop was right, you demon hunters are all faithless trash!"
The burly man's expression turned sinister. He put on his helmet and raised his greatsword high.
"Wait, Deacon Pang, calm down first. We haven't confirmed if the item is with him yet." Another short and thin man in a white robe hurried over, trying to de-escalate the conflict.
But he was too late. The burly man's greatsword swung down at Wen Wen. Wen Wen took a step to the side, nimbly dodging the single, uninspired blow.
Then, Wen Wen placed his hand on the greatsword and looked at the burly man with a smile, "So your surname is Pang... that surname really suits your physique."
The burly man tried to lift his greatsword to continue attacking, but he found that Wen Wen's hand seemed forged from steel. He couldn't pull the sword free at all!
The Golden Eagle Physique had already greatly enhanced his hand strength, and with the addition of the Disaster Gauntlet, his strength was simply beyond the burly man's ability to shake.
Wen Wen ignored the burly man and turned to the smaller man, asking, "You seem like a reasonable person. Can you tell me what's going on? I thought the Glorious Church had a good relationship with our Hunter's Association."
The small man bowed and apologized to Wen Wen. "My name is Liu Shang, and he is Pang Peng. We are both deacons of the Glorious Church in Xiangnan Province. The Bishop has commissioned us to find an item, which may be in your possession, hence today's action. Please forgive us." Sudanshop.com
"I do not have the item you are looking for. Are your questions concluded?" Wen Wen replied.
"Whether you have it or not, we will know after our investigation. Let go of my sword!"
Pang Peng released the greatsword, then punched Wen Wen in the face. But Wen Wen merely tilted his head to dodge it, his expression turning cold.
He grabbed Pang Peng's arm, executed an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming him onto the ground, and then stepped forward, kicking Pang Peng in the stomach as if playing soccer.
Wen Wen's foot sank into his soft belly, which then sprang back, sending him flying over ten meters.
Pang Peng landed on the ground, nimbly got up, and this kick had not injured him. He roared at Liu Shang, "What are you standing there for? Go!"
Liu Shang sighed. Pang Peng's parents were attacked by monsters when he was seven years old and were transformed into monsters.
However, although they needed to attack humans to satisfy their physiological needs, they never attacked Pang Peng. Instead, they had been protecting him.
But eventually, his parents were hunted down by demon hunters, and he was taken in by the local church. From then on, he hated demon hunters and often acted too extremely.
If Liu Shang had a choice, he would not have clashed with Wen Wen. However, because Pang Peng's experiment on Spectrum Town was very successful, Pang Peng was more favored by the Bishop.
This resulted in him having to obey Pang Peng's command, even though they were of the same rank.
Liu Shang chanted a few words, and a ball of light formed in his hand. He then pointed it at Wen Wen, and the ball of light turned into a beam, shooting towards Wen Wen.
Wen Wen narrowed his eyes, blocked the beam with his arm, and the beam of pure energy was completely absorbed by the Disaster Gauntlet.
Liu Shang stared at Wen Wen with wide eyes. He could continuously control the beam of light. Why did the energy disappear as soon as it touched Wen Wen?
Looking at the shocked Liu Shang and Pang Peng, who had just gotten up and picked up his sword again, Wen Wen sighed.
Both of them were at the lower end of the mastery realm, and their combat experience was clearly insufficient. Wen Wen wondered who had given them the confidence to attack a seasoned demon hunter by themselves.
Well, according to their intelligence, Wen Wen was just a rookie demon hunter of a few months...
"A fight like this is not interesting at all... So, let's end it here."
Wen Wen tapped his wrist twice, deactivating the Golden Eagle Physique. Now, he was fighting entirely with his own strength, without using any monster physiques!
"A fight needs to be evenly matched to be exciting. I've conceded this much, you two should at least give me some pleasure!"
Saying this, Wen Wen charged at Pang Peng with a perverted smile. Pang Peng swung his greatsword at Wen Wen.
But although Wen Wen's speed had slowed down compared to before, he was still incredibly agile. Pang Peng could only smash large pits into the ground, unable to touch Wen Wen at all.
"A sword is not a hammer or a mace; it's meant to kill, not to smash. What you're about to see is real swordsmanship!"
Wen Wen took a step back, drew the short sword with its ornate scabbard from his waist, and then pointed the scabbard in Pang Peng's direction.
Pang Peng sensed danger and brought his greatsword across his chest.
Then, Wen Wen drew his short sword, and sharp sword energy burst forth from the scabbard!
