Master Fengbei had studied various monsters, so he identified Tao Qingqing's vampire identity upon their first meeting and was immensely curious about her many traits.
However, due to his previous dispute with Wenwen over the Beast Tamer's Manual, he was too proud to ask Wenwen. But with Tao Qingqing assisting him, he could no longer suppress his curiosity.
Tao Qingqing hid her hands behind her back, her fingernails repeatedly growing and retracting. If she hadn't been unable to defeat Master Fengbei, that old fellow's face would have been covered in claw marks long ago. She planned to vent her frustration by flicking the spheres on that monkey's face later.
Even though his sharp tongue was only slightly less cutting than Wenwen's usual banter, Wenwen was her caretaker! How could this old man be compared to him…
Wait, caretaker?
Thinking of this, Tao Qingqing's face inexplicably flushed.
Observing this reaction, Master Fengbei nodded as if he had suddenly understood. He then reached out and patted the small monkey's tail, causing it to shiver.
Fengbei thought he had guessed Wenwen's method, but it seemed he was slightly mistaken.
Suddenly, Tao Qingqing's gaze sharpened. She saw a man, clad only in a loincloth, hovering not far away, looking at them with cold eyes!
Wenwen, who was observing the situation within the containment facility, ready to strike at any moment, felt a surge of excitement. His quarry had appeared!
Master Fengbei realized Ace's arrival even earlier than Tao Qingqing. He sighed and said to Tao Qingqing, "You can leave now. His target is me. Until he deals with me, he shouldn't be interested in harming others. Get as far away as possible."
Then, he turned to Ace and said, "After you left, I thought about it carefully for a long time. I knew you would return as quickly as possible, with me as your target."
"What do you know?"
Ace Wakas asked curiously. He now had complete control of the situation and wasn't worried about Master Fengbei pulling any tricks.
"I've figured out almost everything,"
Master Fengbei straightened his back and said, "In these past hundred years, I've never stopped thinking about you. Why have I always been unable to kill you and Fenyu? Why do our abilities seem to have a connection to yours? What is your ultimate goal…"
"The moment you devoured Fenyu, I understood everything. You want to ascend to the Cataclysm level by devouring me, and my mad brother must have reached an agreement with you."
Ace Wakas's brow furrowed slightly as he said, "Since you knew I was coming for you, why didn't you escape or seek protection from the strong members of the Hunter Association?"
Master Fengbei shook his head. "You are already a True Sequence. Seeking protection isn't that easy, and it wouldn't solve the fundamental problem. So, I decided to wait for you to come for me, to bring this hundred-year-old curse to a complete end."
A bad premonition surged within Ace. "You seem very confident, but it's quite easy for me to deal with you now."
Master Fengbei took a step forward, walking towards Ace Wakas. This made Ace frown. He didn't know if Fengbei was bluffing or if he truly had a trump card.
"I said, I've never stopped thinking about you, so I've figured out how to deal with you!"
Master Fengbei swiftly placed his hands on the small monkey's cheeks and gently pulled, detaching the two bulging, red, round cheek pouches. At the same time, the other monsters who were clearing plant zombies obediently dispersed to find cover in buildings.
Upon seeing this, Tao Qingqing didn't push her luck but promptly found a place to hide, only showing her eyes to observe the situation.
Next, Master Fengbei hurled the fleshy spheres in his hands at Ace Wakas.
Seeing the speeding fleshy sphere, Ace Wakas suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Four pairs of wings from different creatures sprouted from his back, and he quickly flew away from his position.
When the fleshy sphere was closest to Ace, it suddenly exploded, transforming into a fifty-meter diameter orange sphere of high temperature. The heat emanating from the sphere turned the surroundings red, and both steel and concrete glass began to rapidly melt.
The orange sphere lasted for about ten seconds before gradually disappearing. The area covered by the orange sphere was completely annihilated.
The widespread devastation was not much different from total destruction, being even more exaggerated than being bombed by dozens of cluster bombs. However, judging by the regular shape of the orange sphere, the damage caused by the scattered high temperature was actually only a negligible part of the sphere's power!
Looking at the exaggerated power, Tao Qingqing couldn't help but bite her nails. If Ace hadn't come, she might have been playing with those two little fleshy spheres…
Ace Wakas flew in mid-air, his entire body scorched, and his left leg had vanished. He looked at Master Fengbei with shock and lingering fear, saying, "What is that? You shouldn't possess such power."
Master Fengbei grinned. "That is the ultimate biological weapon I have been cultivating for a hundred years to deal with you. I named it 'Hou Sai Lei'!"
"Although the explosion radius is only fifty meters in diameter, within this fifty-meter spherical range, the temperature reaches nearly a million degrees!"
"This is almost the limit that superhumans below the Cataclysm level can achieve. Even you, at the True Sequence realm, would die if directly hit by this!"
Ace's expression was grim, but his body was rapidly recovering. "No matter how powerful it is, if it doesn't hit, it's meaningless. I won't give you a second chance."
Master Fengbei said calmly, "You are right. If I throw a second Hou Sai Lei, I'm afraid it won't even be able to damage a single hair on your body. So, the second one isn't for you; I've embedded it within my own body!" Sudan Fiction Network
Ace's expression was now as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"As long as you kill me, or try to devour me, this Hou Sai Lei will detonate completely, ending my life. And as long as I die… you will never be able to become a Cataclysm level!"
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
Ace turned around, unleashing his power in anger. Violent plants completely destroyed several buildings, but he dared not aim this power at Fengbei. Then, he said gloomily, "If you hadn't told me, and had just buried this thing inside your body, I might have killed you by now."
Master Fengbei coughed lightly. "Although I have lived for so many years, if I can avoid death, I still don't want to die."
"If you don't want to die, I can find your weakness and make you willingly surrender yourself to me!"
Ace Wakas flew a little higher and said, "You must remember that from now on, everyone I kill will die because of you!"
