A flash of black-red sword light split the fleeing Ace in two, countless sword energies coursing through his body, further severing his already fragmented form.
Simultaneously, the black chains within Ace Wakaz's body had been continuously at work, allowing Wenwen's gentle sword light to achieve its purpose more effectively.
Struck by the long sword, Ace was astonished to find that the power of the Heart Intent Divine Sword this time was incomparable to the previous strike; it seemed much weaker.
The purpose of this sword light was merely to separate his body, but separation alone could not cause substantial harm to Ace. In fact, it helped him break free from the constraints of Doctor Feng and the black chains... and to recover his body!
Under the effect of the sword light, Ace Wakaz's shattered body gradually reformed according to its original appearance, his previous detestable form no longer present.
When the sword light completely vanished, Ace Wakaz fell onto a rooftop. His body had been completely restored, even including the loincloth that had been shredded before!
Actually, Ace's loincloth was woven from his own hair, inherently attached to him. Thus, it could also be restored after his complete recovery.
Ace, while pleased, felt a hint of confusion. Wenwen was his enemy, not a philanthropist. Why would he help him recover his body?
He immediately realized something was amiss and began a self-assessment. He discovered that after his recovery, his strength was even weaker than when he had been torn apart, his internal power almost depleted. He estimated that using even mid-sequence power would be a struggle. Suzan Novel Network.
What had gone wrong?
"Wait, Feng Rao's consciousness is gone! Not just consciousness, but his part of the body and abilities are gone too!" Ace Wakaz was horrified.
Without that portion of abilities and body, Ace Wakaz would no longer be able to maintain the True Sequence realm, nor possess that life force approaching a catastrophe-level expert!
These thoughts occurred within moments. Realizing the problem, Ace immediately began searching for Doctor Feng. He soon breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out Doctor Feng's body had also been restored and was lying unconscious less than a meter away from him. Ace only needed to reach out to merge with Doctor Feng again.
Wenwen was tens of meters away, unable to stop him from absorbing Doctor Feng. Thus, Ace extended his hand towards Doctor Feng.
But just then, the sound of a finger snap reached Ace Wakaz's ears. Then, with a 'pop,' Doctor Feng vanished before his eyes.
Watching Ace disappear, an indescribable fear surged within Ace. This was the first time in his thousand years of escaping the facility that he had felt such panic, for he had truly lost only now!
The sunlight shining on Ace was blocked. Ace looked up and saw that the object blocking the light was Wenwen, who had leaped high into the air.
After reaching the apex of his jump, the lower half of Wenwen's body, from his waist down, continuously shot black energy towards the sky. The counterforce of this black energy, combined with the effect of his X-iron wings, accelerated Wenwen to a terrifying degree. He thrust his sword, held in both hands, towards Ace Wakaz's chest.
This was the second move of Wenwen's self-developed treacherous sword technique... Meteor Fall!
After wielding the Blood River Sword, most of the sword techniques Wenwen had learned became largely useless. It wasn't that they lacked power, but they were no longer suitable for the current Wenwen.
Every swordsman who found their own sword, upon reaching a certain level in swordsmanship, would develop techniques suited to their own use, no longer adhering strictly to the moves left by their predecessors. This allowed them to better understand the way of the sword and unleash their strength.
Techniques like Meteor Fall and Five Stars were actually present in the Xun style of swordsmanship, but they didn't feel as comfortable for Wenwen as the few moves he had developed himself, and their power was significantly inferior.
Except for certain special sword techniques, the sword techniques Wenwen had originally learned could essentially only be used as common moves.
Wenwen's descent speed was incredibly fast. The long sword, carrying a wisp of black energy, soon pierced directly through Ace Wakaz's chest, who was too slow to defend, and carrying Ace's body, it crashed from the five-story rooftop all the way into the basement.
Ace Wakaz lay on the ground, unable to move. Without that life force nearing catastrophe level, he was merely an upper-sequence superpowered individual whose stamina had been completely exhausted.
Wenwen drew his sword, waved, and severed Ace's four limbs. Then, he cut off a segment from the torso and proceeded to pack Ace into the containment facility.
Looking at the chains spreading over him, Ace's face showed fear. He knew what awaited him. He never imagined that after escaping a place more terrifying than hell for a thousand years, he would ultimately be captured and returned.
Seeing Ace Wakaz vanish into thin air, Wenwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only now could he be certain that he had truly won.
This filled him with a subtle excitement and pride. Although the battle involved some clever tactics, it was enough to prove that Wenwen, with all his means unleashed, was capable of threatening experts at the True Sequence realm.
However, Wenwen did not waste time. With a few sword energies, he reduced the previously cut-off parts of Ace's body into mincemeat. He then manipulated his power to evenly spread this mincemeat onto the walls. Finally, a burst of power from his body completely destroyed the basement.
With these actions, if Wenwen claimed to have killed Doctor Feng and Ace Wakaz, no one would doubt him.
As soon as Wenwen finished, Master Feng Bei slowly approached and said to Wenwen without surprise:
"He died at your hands?"
"Yes, he will no longer appear," Wenwen nodded. Although Ace and Feng Rao were not truly dead, their fates might not be much better than death.
"That's good." Upon hearing this, Master Feng Bei looked as if he had become several years younger.
When he saw Wenwen intentionally driving Ace all the way to the basement at the end, he knew Wenwen intended to do something he didn't want him to see, which was why he had slowly made his way to this basement.
However, he held no grudges against Wenwen's subtle actions. As long as Ace Wakaz and Feng Rao would no longer appear, it was enough.
As for secrets, who didn't have any?
"This thing will be yours from now on. Just throw it at your target when you need to use it. This will be my payment for you."
Feng Bei tossed a small red fleshball to Wenwen, which was the Monkey Jaw Thunder that had previously shown its great power. Wenwen fumbled to catch it, fearing that if he wasn't careful, this thing would explode, and he couldn't withstand such an attack.
After handing the Monkey Jaw Thunder to Wenwen, Feng Bei lightly leaped onto the back of a strange bird and sped away.
He intended to resolve the remaining plant viruses and then leave Copper Ridge City.
