Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 144 The Siege Begins

Since the physique itself wasn't powerful, the ferocious spirit's strength likely lay in its abilities.

After being promoted to Disaster Class, Qin Shuang had two special abilities.

One of them was an ability possessed by every ferocious spirit, usable without occupying a ring slot.

This ability was the Illusion Maze.

It could disrupt a person's senses, causing a spatial disorientation that felt like being lost.

This ability also had another name: the ghost wall!

The ghost wall was a standard feature for every ferocious spirit. Those with weak intuition were practically doomed if caught in it.

However, Qin Shuang's Illusion Maze was slightly stronger than that of ordinary ferocious spirits. He could modify the Illusion Maze, causing miraculous changes, and it could affect even ordinary supernaturals.

After testing this ability, Wen Wen waited for ten minutes before switching back to vampire form to test Qin Shuang's other ability.

This ability was the original cold air release.

The manifestation of the ability was largely the same as before, but the intensity was worlds apart. The original cold air, even at full power, could only stiffen ordinary people. That was why the three middle schoolers had escaped initially.

But now, the cold air released by Qin Shuang was more concentrated. It could even instantly freeze water into ice, and naturally, instantly freeze blood!

Wen Wen thought for a moment and snapped his fingers twice. Water behind him formed into a water ball, then wriggled and condensed into over a dozen water cones.

With a wave of his hand, these water cones shot forward. Simultaneously, he activated his freezing ability, turning all these water cones into ice cones!

The scattered ice cones pierced the wall, looking somewhat terrifying.

"Tsk, it only looks intimidating. The power is mediocre, not as good as using the pack of wolves to fire a shotgun. But it's quite suitable for hiding one's identity."

"If I capture a few more ferocious spirits and mix their abilities together, perhaps I can pose as a powerful ferocious spirit with extraordinary talent."

"It's another good alias, hehe."

...

After testing Qin Shuang's abilities, Wen Wen began to strategize. He had to deal with Yan Biqing within a day.

"I can't rely solely on the Hunter Association. I have to find my own way to deal with him. The Hunter Association has too big a target, and I can't reveal the existence of fakes to them. With them around, many things would be inconvenient for me, making it difficult to win against him."

"The helpers I can find are Gong Bao Ding and Zhu Qi Pei... but Zhu Qi Pei is too conspicuous. Even if he promises not to reveal any information, it will make people think of me."

"So, it has to be done this way."

After carefully planning for a while, Wen Wen settled on an action plan.

Next, he used his authority as the Disaster Prison Master within the containment facility to send a message to Gong Bao Ding, asking him to find time to come to the facility as he had a mission to assign.

About an hour later, Gong Bao Ding stood before Wen Wen.

Having witnessed the power Wen Wen displayed in the outside world, Gong Bao Ding's attitude towards Wen Wen became even more humble.

Time was pressing, and Wen Wen didn't waste time displaying his prowess to Gong Bao Ding, but directly assigned the mission.

"Listen, I have a mission for you."

Gong Bao Ding's expression was strange. It wouldn't be him being asked to buy something again, right? He didn't want to do that kind of mission again.

"This is an official mission," Wen Wen added.

Gong Bao Ding then began to anticipate.

"This person is your containment target. I'm giving you one day. Bring him to the containment facility tomorrow."

Wen Wen condensed a human form with black energy. Gong Bao Ding looked at it and was stunned.

"This person is very strong, I'm no match for him. And will one day be too rushed?"

The human figure was none other than Yan Biqing.

Wen Wen shook his head and said, "No rush. Tomorrow, I'll have another containment officer assist you. Once you find out this person's location, tell him, and you two will act together."

The other containment officer he mentioned was, of course, himself, but he wouldn't use his real identity. Instead, he would use an alias to assist Gong Bao Ding's actions.

Just as Qin Shuang had successfully been promoted to Disaster Class, Wen Wen could use this alias to complete the mission.

"But..."

Gong Bao Ding still felt it was somewhat unrealistic. Their association had been pursuing him for days without success, and now Wen Wen was saying they would capture Yan Biqing in one day with just a few words.

"Don't worry, I'll provide some assistance. Just act with confidence."

Gong Bao Ding asked doubtfully, "Since you're willing to provide assistance, why not act yourself? As long as you..."

Wen Wen pondered for two seconds, then waved his sleeve, turned around, and said in a low voice, "It's not time yet. The moment hasn't arrived."

This single sentence convinced Gong Bao Ding.

In his mind, he had already imagined many reasons.

Schemes, plots, arrangements, and so on, he thought of countless possibilities.

"As expected of a strong individual with Disaster Class strength, he's unfathomable," Gong Bao Ding sighed in his heart.

Little did he know, Wen Wen simply couldn't come up with any other reason to fob him off, so he just made a vague excuse.

After Gong Bao Ding left, Wen Wen made another call to Zhu Qi Pei.

He couldn't let him participate in the operation to围剿 Yan Biqing, but he could let him help him with other things. In the operation to围剿 Yan Biqing, the most important thing wasn't the fight with Yan Biqing.

With all the plans made, Wen Wen let out a sigh of relief.

The preparations that needed to be done were now complete. Next, they just had to wait for an opportunity.

...

The next day, at four in the morning, Wen Wen received a notification from Lin Zhe Yuan. The encirclement operation targeting Yan Biqing officially began.

"Now, Ming Guang can quickly locate Yan Biqing. Today, we will resolve him in one go," Lin Zhe Yuan said loudly before the operation.

"He can escape once, and we will capture him again. He escapes twice, and we will capture him again!"

The assistants appeared like a net at various nodes of the city. As long as they received news, they could mobilize at the fastest speed and handle all matters related to ordinary people.

Then, all the demon hunters in Furong River City set out together to capture Yan Biqing!

The first time, Yan Biqing was cornered in the sewer. After a fierce battle, Yan Biqing was severely injured.

But in the end, he was saved by a randomly flying walkie-talkie.

Even though Lin Zhe Yuan and the others had made preparations for interception, because they were unaware of the existence of fakes, their interception still failed.

However, Lin Zhe Yuan was not discouraged. He had already prepared for such an outcome. It took only about an hour for Ding Ming Guang to complete the re-location.

Today, they would not stop until Yan Biqing was captured.
