The newly arrived woman was slender, her black hair shot straight up, like a vast black net, twisting wantonly behind her.
Her face was contorted in terror, yet her body moved without her command. Her eyes were completely out of sync; the right eye was bulging with black veins, the flesh around her throat torn away, with a cluster of vocal cords stuck to it.
Wen Wen kept one hand behind his back, holding the Blood River Sword in the other, squinting as he watched.
“The most dangerous is the hair monster itself. The woman controlled by it is insignificant in terms of strength. She’s still resisting the hair’s control, and there are clear pre-signs before it attacks. As long as you pay attention, it’s fine.”
“The most important thing now is to prevent these two monsters from merging. Otherwise, their difficulty will skyrocket.”
After thinking for a moment, Wen Wen snapped his fingers, and the hair on the back of his head began to grow wildly, becoming identical to the hair monster's.
Ms. M, controlled by the hair monster, froze. What was this identical thing appearing again?
Seizing this moment of hesitation, Wen Wen stomped hard on the ground, shooting forward like a rocket. The Blood River Sword was entwined with a layer of black sword energy.
In the blink of an eye, Wen Wen was beside the hair monster. The black sword fiercely slashed at Ms. M's abdomen, cutting her in half.
But Wen Wen's momentum didn't stop. He braked with his feet and turned, leaving two deep tracks in the concrete.
After turning, Wen Wen gripped the sword hilt with both hands and brought it down vertically. A black sword energy, like a swimming dragon, erupted from the long sword, flashing from the back of Ms. M's head to her legs.
Wen Wen lowered his sword and let out a long breath. The black sword energy still lingered in the air, leaving behind tracks resembling two intertwined black swimming dragons.
This was the Profound Sword Technique: Swift Dragon Slash.
This move was simplified by Wen Wen from the final sword stance of the Nameless Sword Technique, 'Dragon Slaying Stance.' Although the original Dragon Slaying Stance possessed immense power, its execution was quite complex and not suitable for dealing with small, agile creatures.
This sword move was one of the strongest Wen Wen could currently wield.
He didn't know the origin of the black hair, but the fact that those two lower-tier supernaturals could hold out against it for so long suggested they weren't as bizarre as this human skin. Therefore, he unleashed his full power from the start, aiming for a swift, decisive kill.
The human skin was nearby. If the battle dragged on too long, it would be troublesome if they merged.
After a two-second pause, Ms. M let out a piercing scream, and her body then shattered, falling to the ground in four pieces.
The black hair tried to reform, but Wen Wen flicked a blast of cold ice, temporarily freezing it. As long as they didn’t merge, they posed no threat to Wen Wen.
But at that moment, Wen Wen's hair stood on end, and a sense of danger arose.
“Something’s wrong, but where is the problem?”
The unease in his heart was definitely not without reason, yet everything in sight had been resolved by Wen Wen. Where was the danger coming from?
A pale hand suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbing Wen Wen's ankle and beginning to spread from there.
“This hand, it’s from that human skin monster! But I froze it…”
“Underground!”
“This thing can stretch its body at will. What was left in the ice was just a part of its shell; the rest of it has been underground all along.”
Wen Wen's body suddenly erupted with immense power. A black sword energy directly slashed at his ankle, and then he instantly teleported tens of meters away.
Wen Wen had originally thought this thing would cling to him. However, he hadn't expected the human skin to let go so readily. Instead, it slowly burrowed out from the ground.
It leisurely walked towards the hair monster. Looking at its current state, where was the idiocy it had displayed earlier?
It still had a brain, after all. Although that brain was small, it didn't prevent it from possessing intelligence far surpassing other flesh monsters.
After a brief engagement, the human skin monster realized it was no match for Wen Wen. Furthermore, it sensed a threat from Wen Wen, knowing that he could disperse its hard-won form once again.
Therefore, when Wen Wen froze it, it feigned an inability to break free from there, while sinking most of its body underground. This allowed it to escape or attack Wen Wen at will.
To its delight, it unexpectedly found its hair, eyes, and vocal cords here. With these parts gathered together, its strength would be further enhanced.
Thus, it didn't fixate on killing Wen Wen, but simply on forcing him away. Wen Wen, scared away by it and moving so far, was enough for it to merge with its other components.
The human skin monster's body began to stretch bizarrely, like a pale canvas laid across the fragmented body of Ms. M.
“Not good!”
Wen Wen’s eye twitched as he flung several sword energies. However, these sword energies were unable to stop the human skin monster, which eventually stood up. Su Dan Novels.
At this moment, the human skin monster had long hair cascading down, and its balloon-like body was supported by the beauty's corpse, giving it a human-like form.
But this body could only exist within the human skin monster for a few hours at most. Even if it deliberately avoided digestion, this body wouldn't last much longer.
“I… can speak now… I…”
Like a disabled child, it began to run and jump in place, then leaped a great distance to Wen Wen's side, its speed causing Wen Wen's lips to twitch slightly.
“This speed is on an entirely different level from before… far faster than me. It likely possesses true-tier strength.”
Upon reaching Wen Wen's side, the human skin monster did not attack. Instead, it began to pull at its own facial skin with its hands, kneading it like dough. Finally, it pulled up the corners of its mouth, protruding Ms. M's tongue, and licked grotesquely in the air, making strange noises.
Seeing this, Wen Wen took a step back, scarlet mist appearing on his body.
This was the Fury!
The moment he saw the human skin monster's grotesque expression, Wen Wen felt the long-dormant urge to kill surge back. If he continued to stare at its expression, Wen Wen feared he would immediately go on a rampage.
Its actions themselves carried mental contamination. Even a supernatural like Wen Wen couldn't be completely immune.
What was the true form of this thing? Just assembling a few components could create such a terrifying monster?
The human skin monster seemed dissatisfied that Wen Wen hadn't gone mad. It reached behind its back and pulled up its skin, as if stretching a rubber band. When it reached tens of meters in length, it gently released its hand.
The skin instantly snapped back, striking the human skin monster's back. However, an irresistible force suddenly struck Wen Wen's chest and abdomen. Completely caught off guard, Wen Wen was sent flying, crashing into a building and passing through several rooms before coming to a halt.
