After a moment's thought, Wen Wen understood that this shadowy Zheng Feng was not a singular entity, thus Wen Wen couldn't capture him into the containment facility. Even if he were to capture him, all his entities would need to be gathered together.
While he was momentarily stunned, three other Zheng Fengs attacked Wen Wen from different directions.
Wen Wen let out a soft hum and snapped his left fingers. Shiny metal wings sprang from his back, directly slicing the Zheng Fengs on his left and right at their waists.
Then, he turned and kicked the Zheng Feng behind him in the face, producing a drum-like explosive sound.
The Zheng Feng's head flew ten meters away with his body, landing on the ground. His face was completely caved in. A normal person would have surely died.
But Zheng Feng was no ordinary person. His head detached itself, and another head actually grew from his neck.
The mangled head then transformed into a new Zheng Feng.
During the brief moment Wen Wen was counter-attacking, the shadowy Zheng Feng had already escaped through the gaps in the chains and stood far off to the side, observing the battle.
"Ah, trouble. I have to fight seven enemies at once. Or perhaps six, I always feel that shadowy one isn't aligned with the others."
"Can this guy really split infinitely... that's going to be difficult to deal with. It seems I can't just keep chopping anymore. I don't want to see over a hundred of this guy."
Wen Wen said to Zheng Feng with a grimace, "Do you know, seeing your face now makes me want to vomit."
This time, the six Zheng Fengs didn't reply. They lunged at Wen Wen like rabid dogs, while the shadowy Zheng Feng hid far away in the shadows.
"Tsk, tsk, the more you split, the lower your IQ gets, right? With your current attack style, you're not even as good as my poodle."
Wen Wen leaped lightly, then slashed out with his sword in mid-air. However, he didn't strike Zheng Feng's body but the massive water tower behind them.
A huge volume of water poured out from the water tower like a waterfall. Then, Wen Wen snapped his right fingers twice, activating his ice and water manipulation abilities.
The water ghost's water control ability couldn't control such a massive volume of water, but Wen Wen merely guided it slightly, and the water flow submerged four of the Zheng Fengs.
Next, white cold air was sprayed onto them, freezing the surrounding water. When the water receded, only four humanoid ice sculptures stood in place.
"After freezing, at least your movements will be restricted."
Then, Wen Wen looked at the other two Zheng Fengs. He first released the black chains to bind one Zheng Feng, then sprayed acid all over him.
By this point, the carrion demon's acid spray ability was no longer very effective for Wen Wen.
Although the acid was potent, to be honest, the force of the acid spray wasn't as strong as Wen Wen's urine.
Ordinary enemies could dodge it.
The last normal Zheng Feng tried to sneak attack Wen Wen, but Wen Wen just glared, sending a psychic shock that destroyed the Zheng Feng's mind, causing him to fall straight to the ground.
The effect was surprisingly good. The enemies Wen Wen normally encountered were only stunned for a few seconds by psychic shock, but this Zheng Feng seemed to be outright killed.
"It seems like after they split, their brains were also divided. Couldn't his ability be called Brain-Dead Clone Jutsu?"
After waiting for two minutes, neither the frozen, the corroded, nor the idiotized ones continued to split, which made Wen Wen heave a sigh of relief.
He looked at the last shadowy Zheng Feng and said, "It seems your ability isn't that unbeatable. As long as you don't segment your body, you're not that difficult to deal with. I thought you were invincible."
Unexpectedly, the shadowy Zheng Feng didn't show any dejection at all. Instead, he burst into laughter.
"Unfamiliar demon hunter, thank you for controlling him. Otherwise, I would have to maintain this foolish appearance." The shadowy Zheng Feng placed his hand on his chest and bowed to Wen Wen.
Wen Wen frowned, sensing that something was amiss. This shadowy Zheng Feng was indeed not on the same page as the others.
The shadowy Zheng Feng grinned and said, "You still don't understand what's going on, do you? I'm actually not Zheng Feng. I'm just forced to stay in this body."
With that said, two curved horns grew on his forehead, and a flexible tail shot out from his tailbone. He transformed into a creature straight out of a movie, looking exactly like a demon.
"Judging by your appearance, you're probably not human," Wen Wen said, pointing at the shadowy Zheng Feng.
The shadowy Zheng Feng straightened his chest and proudly declared, "That's right. I am the noble shadow demon, Baliel."
Wen Wen narrowed his eyes and asked, "So it's a demon... I thought you were a black goat that had learned to talk. Then how did you become part of Zheng Feng?"
He was filled with questions about Zheng Feng. If this self-proclaimed shadow demon could provide some answers, that would be best. If not, Wen Wen wouldn't lose anything.
Baliel sat on the ground and said glumly, "Two months ago, this ignorant fellow stumbled into the Gray Mist layer and collided with me as I was trying to enter this world."
"So, I seized the opportunity to burrow into his body. I initially thought he was just an ordinary human, but I didn't expect him to be a super-powered individual."
"To fight for control of his body, I engaged in a fierce mental battle with him. But just as I was about to win, he split me out, forming a new body!"
"He has absolute control over the bodies he splits off. So I can only maintain this appearance, stay by his side, and obey his commands. Now that you've freed me, I must thank you properly."
"What's laughable is that this guy actually thought he could seal me with just one body. As a result, I only had to instigate a little, and he killed his own wife. Moreover, he became addicted to this kind of game."
After hearing his account, Wen Wen gained some clarity regarding Zheng Feng's situation.
Wen Wen drew his short sword and pointed it at the shadow demon, "Thank you for your lengthy explanation. So, you are the culprit behind everything. If I eliminate you, the matter will be resolved, right?" Sudan Novel Network
The shadow demon raised a finger and waved it in front of his eyes, "I rarely see a super-powered individual with so many abilities like you, which is why I've told you so much. But don't be too arrogant. You cannot defeat me."
"Whether I can defeat you or not, we'll find out."
Wen Wen's eyebrows shot up. Black and red sword energy churned on his blade. A row of runes on the blade emitted a bright golden glow.
The shadow demon's eyes revealed a look of apprehension. He could travel through shadows, but that didn't mean he was invincible. At best, it could only protect him from ordinary physical attacks.
However, he wasn't too nervous because he had no intention of clashing head-on with Wen Wen and had a way to keep him occupied.
His arm mutated into a large blade. He suddenly turned into a shadow, vanishing from his spot. When he reappeared, he was next to the four frozen Zheng Fengs.
Then, he swung his large hand, directly slicing the four ice sculptures into countless fragments. As soon as the fragments met the air, they began to expand.
Wen Wen's scalp tingled. How many Zheng Fengs would appear from so many fragments?
