Wen Wen felt a sense of joy as the Nether Purifying Angel’s strength was very close to his own.
The stronger one became, the more difficult it was to find an evenly matched opponent.
And only by defeating such an opponent with his own strength did Wen Wen find the greatest pleasure.
From the very first exchange, Wen Wen felt the pressure. The opponent’s six weapons were coordinated exceptionally well, and their combat experience was surprisingly ample.
Using only his two weapons, it was difficult for him to fully block all of the opponent’s attacks.
After only a dozen seconds of fighting, Wen Wen missed blocking several attacks. If not for the assistance of Four Cubs from the side, he would have been hit by those attacks.
Realizing that he would not be able to defeat the Nether Purifying Angel in a head-on close-quarters combat, Wen Wen used the force of the Nether Purifying Angel’s hammer to retreat a certain distance.
He then floated into the air and began to throw his long spear at the Nether Purifying Angel.
He threw over twenty spears in succession, but only a few hit their mark, easily deflected by the Nether Purifying Angel.
The Nether Purifying Angel disdainfully said, "Where are you attacking?"
Wen Wen’s lips curved slightly. He wasn't attacking the Nether Purifying Angel; rather, he was setting up his long spears around the opponent!
Now, the Nether Purifying Angel was surrounded by Wen Wen’s teleportation points, allowing him to shuttle through them at will.
With a flash of blue light, Wen Wen’s body instantly disappeared. The next moment, he appeared behind the Nether Purifying Angel, dual-wielding his swords and slashing down.
But before Wen Wen could get close, the Nether Purifying Angel turned around and smashed Wen Wen away with a hammer strike.
He hadn't noticed that Four Cubs, floating beside Wen Wen, and the Blade of Filth had already vanished unnoticed.
The three faces on the Nether Purifying Angel’s head provided it with almost a full range of vision. Even if Wen Wen suddenly appeared behind it, it could react.
This made this fellow almost impossible to ambush.
Of course, the moment Wen Wen saw the opponent’s three faces, he knew that an ambush would be difficult.
Therefore, his furious attacks were merely to distract the opponent.
Blue light flickered frequently as Wen Wen attacked from all directions. His attack methods were varied: punches and kicks, sword slashes and spear thrusts, Gatling guns, a chaotic onslaught that left the Nether Purifying Angel fumbling.
If the Nether Purifying Angel hadn't experienced significant battles before, it might not have lasted under Wen Wen’s onslaught.
However, even Wen Wen could not sustain such frequent spatial jumps and high-intensity attacks for long, but it was the only way to achieve his strategic goal.
The Nether Purifying Angel had a very wide field of vision. To ambush it, one could only attack its blind spots, and after Wen Wen's observation, that blind spot was... below!
Wen Wen leaped high into the air, his long sword trailing a frost dragon as he slashed down. The Nether Purifying Angel could only defend desperately.
And at this moment, Four Cubs, pushing the Blade of Filth, burst forth from under the Nether Purifying Angel’s feet.
The sharp butcher's knife was driven deep between the Nether Purifying Angel’s legs!
"You… You are despicable and shameless!" the Nether Purifying Angel roared, clamping its legs together with an indescribable expression.
Four Cubs floated to Wen Wen's side, fluttering excitedly and seeking credit.
Against creatures like the Nether Purifying Angel, the Blade of Filth had unimaginably powerful destructive capabilities. In a short time, the wound on the Nether Purifying Angel lost its radiance and emitted wisps of black smoke.
The Nether Purifying Angel gritted its teeth and pulled out the Blade of Filth, its hand on the hilt spitting black smoke.
"What is this thing? How can such an utterly foul blade wound me… and you dared to let such a blade injure my body? Unforgivable!"
The Nether Purifying Angel roared and discarded the Blade of Filth, becoming completely berserk. The light on its body shot up into the sky, but its waist and legs remained black, as if it were wearing black boxer briefs…
Although the Nether Purifying Angel’s aura seemed to have increased greatly, Wen Wen understood that it had weakened considerably compared to before. The light energy on its body was desperately trying to escape its form.
Looking at the effect of this blow, Wen Wen sighed. As expected, against an opponent of this caliber, the Blade of Filth couldn't directly kill them like it did the Unicorn.
Sensing Wen Wen’s intention to end the fight quickly, the four tiger claws on Four Cubs’ bodies glowed white. Wen Wen then felt his offensive capabilities increase slightly.
This was Four Cubs’ auxiliary ability, apart from direct attacks.
The Tiger Spirit increased attack power, the Tortoise Spirit increased defense, the Dragon Spirit increased energy intensity, and the Sparrow Spirit increased burst power.
Although only one effect could be attached at a time, it was enough to enhance Wen Wen's strength. With this shift in power, Wen Wen now had a complete grasp of how to defeat the Nether Purifying Angel.
Once the gap in their strength widened, the battle became much simpler. Wen Wen gripped the Blade of Filth and consecutively used Torrent Style, Thunder Style, and Iron Breaker Style against the Nether Purifying Angel.
Except for the first sword strike, the Nether Purifying Angel failed to defend against any of them. Its eight limbs were severed, and its body was covered in black filth.
"Damn it… If only my true body were here…" the Nether Purifying Angel knelt on the ground, its expression contorted.
"Unfortunately, your true body is not here."
Wen Wen raised the Blade of Filth and directly slashed down. Black sword energy split the Nether Purifying Angel’s body in two, revealing Yan Xiu’s true form.
The Nether Purifying Angel was right; if its true body were present, Wen Wen estimated he would have no choice but to flee. The Blade of Filth might even be purified by the Nether Purifying Angel if it hit directly.
To control Yan Xiu's body to this extent from an unknown distance, the Nether Purifying Angel was at least an angel of the True Order realm.
However, no matter how strong it was, as long as its true body wasn't nearby, Wen Wen was fearless… It couldn't possibly be stronger than the Cataclysm Warden.
As these lights dissipated, Yan Xiu’s life force began to drain. When the light completely vanished, it would be the day Yan Xiu died.
After a moment of thought, Wen Wen directly bound Yan Xiu with a black chain and absorbed the light.
This way, only the light would disappear, not Yan Xiu’s life.
However, even so, if Wen Wen didn't intervene, Yan Xiu would still die. Thus, Wen Wen brought Yan Xiu into the containment facility.
He intended to make Yan Xiu a caseworker; that should be able to save his life!
…
Yan Xiu sat up, his expression bewildered.
He felt as if he had had a very long dream. In that dream, he pursued Lin Lu and attacked relentlessly. When his attacks were blocked, he completely lost consciousness.
He then suddenly jumped up, looking around to find Lin Lu, only to discover that he was in a vast hall, and his own body lay behind him.
"Am I… dead?"
Yan Xiu poked his own face, knowing he was currently in a spiritual state.
"Attempted rebellion discovered, it's normal to be dead."
Yan Xiu didn't feel much regret about his death. He only wanted to know if he had managed to injure Lin Lu before he died.
The moment he recalled Lin Lu’s despairing eyes at the end of his consciousness, Yan Xiu’s heart ached.
