Zheng Feng, cloaked in shadow, did not dodge. His reflexes, it seemed, were not quick enough for Wen Wen's speed.
However, his body turned into a blurry shadow, and Wen Wen's sword passed right through it.
It was only then that Zheng Feng realized a sword was lodged in his head.
Then, his entire form dissolved into an inky shadow, merging with the darkness on the ground. Moments later, he reappeared ten meters away from Wen Wen.
"Is his body incorporeal, a ghost?"
"No, not a ghost, just a pure shadow. His body is made of shadows, and he can traverse within them."
Wen Wen's expression turned grim. It was night, and shadows were abundant. Capturing him in such an environment wouldn't be easy.
Shadow Zheng Feng wiped his forehead, beads of sweat a testament to his fear. Wen Wen's movements were too fast; for a fleeting moment, he thought he had truly died.
Suddenly, Wen Wen crouched down. His fists whistled through the air, passing through where his head had been moments before.
Then, Wen Wen took a step back, bending his arms for two elbow strikes behind him. Two men were sent flying several meters by the immense force, collapsing to the ground clutching their stomachs.
Wen Wen turned around and was astonished to find that the two men who had attacked him were both Zheng Feng!
The two mangled bodies on the ground had vanished.
His brow furrowed into a knot, and he was quite annoyed by the current situation.
"Damn it, are you triplets?"
Wen Wen knew they weren't triplets, of course. The bodies that had been cut in half had disappeared, so these two must have been transformed from those severed halves.
Even in a world of superpowered individuals, this was rather bizarre.
The two Zheng Fengs' expressions were contorted, brimming with immense rage. The Zheng Feng on the left pointed at Wen Wen and said venomously,
"You're dead, I won't let you go, I..."
*Swish!*
Wen Wen swung his hand, unleashing a black sword energy that severed the talking Zheng Feng's head.
He wanted to observe how these two Zheng Fengs had appeared.
A few seconds later, to Wen Wen's stunned gaze, the severed head on the ground writhed and transformed, ultimately becoming a miniature Zheng Feng. It then expanded, like a balloon inflating, to normal human size.
And the headless Zheng Feng had regrown his head.
Now, Wen Wen had to deal with four Zheng Fengs.
Wen Wen sighed. He was now certain that as long as this guy's body was severed, it would simply regenerate another Zheng Feng.
For a superpowered individual who specialized in physical attacks, this ability was very troublesome to counter.
So, he put away his short sword and quipped, "I get it, you're an earthworm monster. But even if you're an earthworm monster, how did the clothes reappear... With this ability, you could have gotten rich selling clothes, why bother being a teacher?"
However, the three Zheng Fengs ignored Wen Wen's rambling and charged at him with grim expressions, their faces becoming increasingly ferocious. They looked at Wen Wen as if he were their mortal enemy.
Well, Wen Wen had killed him twice, so it was understandable that they held a grudge.
Wen Wen easily kicked the three rushing figures away, folded his arms across his chest, and said, "Acid, ice, mental shock, RPGs, there are always ways to deal with you. However, this isn't the best place to fight."
Without further engagement, he picked up Li Dazhuang, who was lying nearby, and began to run.
As he ran, he deliberately controlled his speed to prevent Zheng Feng from falling too far behind and losing him.
To Zheng Feng, Wen Wen's escape was a sign of fear, so he pursued without hesitation.
But what he didn't know was that Wen Wen simply wanted to find an uninhabited place to fight.
It was foreseeable that as the battle escalated, the number of Zheng Fengs would only increase.
If it got out of control, it would be difficult to manage. Therefore, Wen Wen wanted to find a place where ordinary people wouldn't go, and then engage in battle.
As he ran, Li Dazhuang, whom Wen Wen was carrying, vanished. On the road, Wen Wen took advantage of Zheng Feng's distraction and casually tossed Li Dazhuang into a hidden nook.
Otherwise, either by carrying him or leaving him where he was, there was a chance he could be injured during the fight.
Fortunately, these Zheng Fengs seemed fixated on Wen Wen and didn't even pursue Li Dazhuang's disappearance, which made things a bit easier for Wen Wen.
Soon, Wen Wen arrived at an old factory, where he planned to initiate the battle.
It was already late at night, and all the factory workers had left, with only a gatekeeper on duty.
Wen Wen's eyes turned crimson. With a single glance, the gatekeeper's expression became dazed. He stumbled away from his post and found a safe place to hide.
As a disaster-level vampire, he could exert a certain degree of control over ordinary people, a capability Wen Wen could now utilize at any time.
With everything prepared, ensuring no one would be accidentally harmed, Wen Wen sat on the highest point around, a water tower, awaiting Zheng Feng's arrival.
Soon, several Zheng Fengs appeared before Wen Wen, looking at him with grim expressions. Their visages would likely induce nightmares in ordinary people.
Shadow Zheng Feng followed obediently behind the three physical Zheng Fengs, not using his shadow-traversing ability to intercept Wen Wen beforehand.
This was also normal. After witnessing Wen Wen's strength, he should have understood that confronting him alone would be futile.
Sitting on the water tower, Wen Wen rested his chin in his hand and asked curiously, "Actually, I'm a bit confused. Perhaps you can enlighten me."
The Zheng Fengs merely stared at Wen Wen, offering no reply.
"Even if you can't be killed, you should be able to see the difference in strength. With power levels like yours, no matter how numerous, you can't defeat me. The sensible choice would be to use your numerical advantage to escape."
"But you didn't escape. Instead, you seem to have been blinded by rage, solely intent on killing me. You're completely different from your initial self."
The three Zheng Fengs simultaneously contorted their faces and said, "Even if we can't kill you, we can wear you down to death!"
Behind them, Shadow Zheng Feng showed a helpless expression.
Wen Wen stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "As expected. With the increase in clones, not only has their intelligence decreased, but their emotions have also become difficult to control, which is why they're relentlessly pursuing me..." Sudanshang.com
"But that shadow person isn't synchronized with them, so perhaps he's special!"
Having made up his mind, Wen Wen leaped from the water tower and, with lightning speed, appeared behind Shadow Zheng Feng.
Before he could react, black chains spewed forth, binding him tightly.
Wen Wen surmised that this individual was the true body and intended to directly send him into the containment facility!
However, to Wen Wen's astonishment, the containment facility showed no interest in this individual.
Even humans infected by the Mother of Loss elicited a slight impulse from the containment facility, but for this fellow, there was absolutely no reaction.
