"Hmm... is that reaction really necessary?"
Wen Wen’s face darkened. She had only casually asked Nie Ying to trim her eyebrows, not expecting such a strong reaction.
To avoid being too close to Wen Wen's eyes, Nie Ying immediately went into combat mode. Her body dissolved into the shadows, like a blob of black ink merging into a black cesspool.
While watching from the sidelines before, Wen Wen could still clearly discern Nie Ying's movements. However, facing Nie Ying now, her trajectory had become blurry.
"Heh, this twisted lunatic is quite interesting."
Truth be told, as an assassin, setting aside her ability enhancements, Nie Ying was merely at an amateur level. No, she wasn't even at that level.
Without her special ability, she probably would have failed before even making her debut.
But it was precisely because of this ability, named 'Shadow Affinity,' that she repeatedly turned the impossible into the possible.
From birth, she had been favored by the shadows; she could conceal her figure within them.
As long as she was under a shadow, all her attributes would be significantly boosted. Furthermore, she could traverse through shadows, her speed in short distances being comparable to spatial abilities.
When she fought Tao Qingqing previously, she was actually just toying around. Now, facing the formidable Wen Wen, she was truly going all out.
She moved at an extremely high speed, shifting rapidly between all shadowed areas. Her speed was so great that even Wen Wen couldn't predict her location.
Faced with this situation, Wen Wen remained unfazed. He sat down cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.
An invisible sword energy spread out from his body, like a massive protective shield. Within the range of this sword energy, Wen Wen's perception would be greatly enhanced, allowing him to easily perform delicate tasks like embroidering with a sword.
Under these conditions, Wen Wen could finally track Nie Ying's movements. His lips twitched, and he quickly clapped his hands on the ground, spiraling upwards.
The next second, Nie Ying shot out from where Wen Wen had been sitting, a dagger clutched in her hand.
"Hey, lunatic, what exactly do you want?"
Nie Ying snorted, "Ugly men with small eyes like you shouldn't have descendants."
Afterward, she dissolved back into the shadows, darting around the vast area.
"Heh... heh heh... hahahaha..." Wen Wen let out a strange laugh, then roared with a ferocious gaze, "Damn it, you're dead!"
Among all his opponents, Wen Wen had been angered by more than one. But Nie Ying was the first he had encountered who constantly resorted to personal attacks. Those insults, like knives, pierced Wen Wen's chest, driving him close to mental breakdown.
Nie Ying dared to mock him so openly not because she lacked common sense, but because she was confident she could escape at any moment.
In this small city near the Arctic Circle, darkness prevailed for most of the year, and night was when her powers shone the brightest. Under these conditions, she was confident she could escape from any opponent below the True Sequence realm.
Moreover, it wasn't necessarily *she* who would need to escape!
Nie Ying's figure was elusive, and even though Wen Wen could barely track her movements, he still took several hits due to his inability to dodge them all.
However, with each blow Wen Wen received, he gained something. By the time the last short sword pierced his waist, he was confident he could capture Nie Ying.
A sinister, dark red aura emanated from Wen Wen's body. Nie Ying, who was about to stab him in the eye, felt her hair stand on end. She retreated a dozen meters, melting back into the shadows and watching Wen Wen warily.
Wen Wen floated in the air, a rune book hovering before him, opened to a middle page.
Those dark red energies transformed into countless dense, dark red energy swords. Each energy sword had a grotesque mouth on its hilt, spewing out lewd and indecent words.
These words made Nie Ying's brain explode. Some said she had a mole under her armpit, others that her hairline was too high, some that she was short, and some that she was flat-chested...
In short, they were all personal attacks, making Nie Ying wish she could disappear into a crack in the earth.
"True Cursed Sword Dao... Ten Thousand Evil Spells!"
This move was also a sword technique Wen Wen created during his solitary cultivation. Its rank was one level higher than moves like Five Stars, Meteor Stars, or Seven Stars, placing it at the same level as 'Explosive Sword Qi.'
The Ten Thousand Evil Spells were composed of ten thousand energy swords, each of which would launch personal attacks targeting Wen Wen's opponent.
Frankly, when constructing this technique, Wen Wen's sole intention was to disgust others. Despite its grand visual display, its actual destructive power was far inferior to 'Explosive Sword Qi.'
However, in the current situation, the Ten Thousand Evil Spells were precisely what guaranteed Wen Wen could capture Nie Ying!
"Go!"
These ten thousand energy swords flew out in all directions, some even flying out of Nie Ying's line of sight, while others seemed to haphazardly stab into the ground.
"Is this ugly man insane? He thinks this will catch me? As expected, ugly people have dull brains too." Nie Ying poked her head out from the shadows, looking down at Wen Wen with contempt.
But the next moment, Nie Ying's jaw dropped.
Above Wen Wen's head, the rune book displayed a white rune with a diameter of ten meters. Six orbs of light floated within this rune, shining brightly and dispelling the surrounding darkness for a large area, revealing Nie Ying's form.
The intense light caused her great discomfort, stiffening her body for a microsecond before she retreated a few steps, once again disappearing into the shadows.
She let out a soft哼. That momentary stiffness was Wen Wen's best chance to capture her. Now that Wen Wen had abandoned that opportunity, it would no longer be so easy to catch her.
But Wen Wen felt no regret, because the real show was yet to come.
The mouths on each energy sword spat out several energy threads, connecting them to other energy swords. The ten thousand energy swords formed a massive rune array covering a radius of ten miles!
"Shadowless Formation—Activate!"
All the energy swords let out sharp cries, and their black-red bodies rapidly turned pure white like jade, emitting a soft glow similar to the central rune array.
Within the ten-kilometer radius, not a single shadow remained!
Without anyone to intervene, True Sequence powerhouses could easily destroy a city. For Wen Wen, maintaining a lightless environment within a ten-mile radius was simpler than using the toilet while balancing on the rim of the bowl.
Nie Ying was forcibly expelled from the shadows. She looked around blankly, her face immediately turning deathly pale.
Wen Wen, floating in mid-air, his face looking somewhat terrifying illuminated by the white light, lowered his head to look at Nie Ying and asked in a chilling tone,
"Flat-chested, wide-foreheaded, short-statured, you. Now, do you think my small eyes are handsome?"
