Chapter 648 There are still experts
The moment Wu Wang left the instance, he also noticed that a status called [Shadow Binding] had appeared on him.
The effect is that the person who applies this state can locate themselves by the position of their shadow.
He knew perfectly well that this must be the work of the crying-faced weirdo.
I plan to try and kill myself after returning to the real world to see if I can refresh my status.
The reason Wu Wang made up for after bringing Fortress and Ashheart back to reality was not because he had immediately ordered the troops to seal off the area around Compassion Temple, but because he had fabricated the reason to persuade them to leave.
Wu Wang was genuinely worried that this guy might be able to follow him back to the real world.
After all, the crying-face monster first appeared along with the second sister's return portal, proving that it indeed possessed such an ability.
Now that he is in this abnormal state, Wu Wang is basically certain that the other party will continue to pursue him relentlessly.
Unfortunately, he will repeat the same trick.
Back in reality, even if this guy catches up, Wu Wang deduces that if he can hold out for a little longer, someone will come and deal with the crying-faced weirdo.
At least there's the Azure Dragon guarding the heavens.
All you need to do is do it again, just like you did with that sword that knocked the opponent back. The frustration of being provoked and still not being able to kill yourself will make the crying monster feel like he's swallowed a fly!
Brother Qinglong, you absolutely have to give it your all!
This time the location is not in Beijing, so I hope you can notice the situation here soon.
With this thought in mind, Wu Wang entered the settlement space and left immediately without lingering.
His figure immediately appeared in front of the familiar fireplace flames.
Oh, I almost forgot, there's a staff lounge session before I return.
This time, Wu Wang did not see [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] in the lounge, and he was not surprised by this.
After all, the day He spoke of the destruction of the real world is drawing ever closer, and this Venerable One who governs [desire] is probably busy with something as well.
Compared to things that destroy the world and true powerhouses, I am just an insignificant little person.
The other party naturally doesn't have that much free time to pay attention to them.
Perfect timing! Wu Wang was happy to avoid dealing with this big boss.
In any case, he had already prepared himself to wander through countless worlds, so it was best to avoid meeting the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] as much as possible before that happened.
To prevent the other party from noticing anything in advance.
Just as Wu Wang was about to get up from in front of the fireplace and open the door to return to reality.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed something on the table that had never been there before.
This caused him to pause slightly.
"Hmm? This is... an envelope?" Wu Wang raised an eyebrow, slightly puzzled.
On the table was a seemingly ordinary letter.
Logically, only myself and [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] should be able to enter this place.
How could a letter be sent to a place like this?
He instinctively turned and walked toward the envelope.
There's not really a rush to get back to reality; at least there's time to read a letter.
According to Wu Wang's calculations, since the other party has locked onto his location, they will definitely look for him at the location of Cibei Temple after going to the real world.
If I don't show up for a while, there won't be any major problems.
At most, it will just give that guy a little more time to build up his anger.
In some ways, it's not only his absence that makes the crying-face monster more vulnerable.
For someone like him who considers himself superior, the most frustrating thing is having nowhere to vent his anger after being provoked.
However, if this transition period is too long, Wu Wang worries that the other party will direct their anger at others.
At that time, the border troops near Cibei Temple will probably be in real trouble.
He himself would not stoop to the point of implicating innocent people for a moment's pleasure.
Therefore, after taking this short time to read the letter, Wu Wang will still return as normal.
brush brush --
There were no other markings on the letter's cover, nor any information about the sender or recipient. As Wu Wang quickly tore it open, only one line of writing appeared inside.
Gifts don't always represent goodwill.
This seems like a warning.
There was no other information available, which puzzled Wu Wang greatly.
"What the hell? Is the Lord of Desire Sea playing a joke on me?"
"Does He even need to say that? Whether He harbors ill intentions or not is as clear as day—everyone knows!"
Wu Wang was completely baffled.
He casually put the strange letter into his backpack and turned around, intending to return to reality immediately.
Suddenly, as he lifted his leg, he frowned and then rubbed his side.
They even lifted his clothes to examine him closely, and next to his well-defined abdominal muscles, a piece of flesh was festering and the area was expanding.
As expected, the crying-faced monster's [Meditative Sound] killed him before he could leave the Merciful Temple instance.
Although it may seem that I am unaffected, the person has actually been gone for a while.
Strangely, the decay carried by the [Nether Sound] still lingers for three days after Wu Wang's resurrection, continuously corroding his body.
However, judging from the fact that the speed and degree of corrosion become lighter after each resurrection, Wu Wang deduced that dying a few more times would completely eliminate its effect.
So I ignored it.
But just now, less than three seconds after he opened the envelope, a familiar tingling sensation came from his lower back...
He was stung by this decaying, corrosive force!
It seemed that as the letter was opened, something else came out of the letter and came into his body.
"My sense of pain has returned?" Wu Wang asked, somewhat surprised.
He then shook his head and thought to himself, "No, it seems that only a part of it has returned. Although I can barely feel the stinging sensation, it is only slightly stronger than the tingling sensation. The pain of this body decaying is definitely more than this."
Although regaining the ability to feel pain is generally a good thing, at least it means I'm no longer considered a different kind of disabled person.
But this thing, along with the message on the envelope.
It always gave him a bad feeling...
You should know that your sense of pain was taken away by the Lord of Suffering. Only the Lord of Desire Sea could probably take it back from such a being.
Isn't this a kind of gift?
What does He want to do?
"Does he expect me to agree to some condition in exchange for the rest of my pain perception?" Wu Wang really couldn't understand.
Does he look like someone who's so easily fooled?
If that's the case, I definitely won't exchange it no matter what. You can take the pain perception if you want.
Do you really think we're interested in this stuff?
How strange... How strange...
There's no time to ponder the intentions of [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] any longer.
After thinking about it for a moment, Wu Wang made a mental note of it. For now, he should deal with the crying face weirdo first.
creak-
As he pushed open the door to the staff lounge, the real-life gate of Cibei Temple, which had been soaked in water until it turned black and swollen, was also pushed open.
Stepping out of the mountain gate and smelling the slightly damp, earthy scent in the air, Wu Wang grinned and said, "Hey hey hey! I'm back again!"
He's back to reality!
boom--
The next second, he was greeted by a blade of energy that was pitch black and carried withering power.
This blade aura was more powerful than any of the blows the opponent had delivered to him in the Compassion Temple instance.
In an instant, the already crumbling and half-tilted gate of Cibei Temple was completely collapsed, and even the ground beneath their feet was covered with bottomless ravines.
If Wu Wang hadn't reacted quickly enough to escape, he probably would have been cut in half the moment he stepped outside.
Although he wouldn't die from a mere fatal wound, he still needed to conceal his obvious resurrection from someone searching for immortality. No, the crucial question now is—how did the crying-face monster pinpoint his location so quickly?
Wu Wang raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.
I've finally stepped into reality!
Did you find us a little too quickly?
Can't you even give me a couple more minutes to speak?
Boom—Boom—
Suddenly, several more violent tremors came.
Then he saw countless familiar blade energies flying and leaping into the sky from somewhere in the distance. It didn't seem like the owner of the blade energies did it intentionally. Instead, it seemed like these blade energies were forcibly blocked and changed direction by some more tyrannical force.
Wu Wang finally realized what was happening.
It's not the crying-face monster who's staking out me!
Rather, he is fighting against some being!
The aftershocks of the battle just happened to reach the mountain gate when I came out.
He was slightly shocked.
According to the original plan, Wu Xiaoyou returned to reality one step ahead of him, and she would not linger and wait for him.
The second sister would surely understand her thoughts, and should then immediately try to get as far away from this place as possible to find Mary and Lilith.
If the crying-faced monster locates himself by the [Shadow Erosion] state on his body, then he wouldn't be running around chasing after his second sister.
After all, the amount of hatred one harbors in their heart is definitely higher.
This guy will definitely be waiting for his return nearby.
What kind of being could possibly be fighting so fiercely with the crying-face monster in this remote corner?
Wu Wang almost instinctively lifted his leg and flew into the air, flashing towards the direction from which the blade energy came.
As he continued to ascend, the shock in his eyes became increasingly apparent.
"Holy crap..."
The mountain range before him was so unfamiliar that Wu Wang didn't recognize it at all.
Before entering Cibei Temple, the area resembled a primeval forest, with signs of wild, overgrown trees everywhere.
The greenery that once stretched as far as the eye could see is now gone, leaving only decaying and decaying vegetation extending to the horizon.
Not only that, but even several mountains that Wu Wang remembered should have existed have disappeared.
It left only smooth cut surfaces in place, as if something had sliced the entire mountain away.
"There are more experts?"
He was even more curious about what kind of thing could fight the crying-faced monster to such an extent.
Wu Wang slowly approached the center of the battlefield.
He witnessed a scene completely unexpected—
The black cloth cloak on the crying-faced monster seemed to have undergone some kind of change, and now it looked more like layers of black armor that shimmered with metallic luster covering the surface of his body. The giant scythe in his hand had also become larger than before, and there was even some kind of unsettling eerie green ghost fire burning on its surface.
However, what's even more bizarre is that his left arm is completely empty!
The broken section of the black armor turned into strips of cloth that fluttered in the wind, giving it a slightly desolate appearance.
Opposite him was a handsome young nobleman wearing a white fox mask, looking like he had stepped out of an ancient idol drama. He was sitting on a wooden stake, fanning himself with a folding fan, and seemed quite at ease.
His white robes were spotless, and the severed arm of the crying monster lay at his feet.
Countless origami cranes circled around him in the sky, seemingly mocking the crying man's pathetic state.
"This unknown descendant of a venerable one, it seems the person you're looking for has returned," the white-robed scholar said mockingly. "But unfortunately, he also seems to be the person I've been waiting for. What do you plan to do? You couldn't even beat him in a one-on-one fight, let alone now that it's two against one!"
Wu Wang immediately felt relieved.
Qin Shusheng!
I never expected them to show up here!
From the moment Wu Wang first met Qin Shusheng, he was very curious about his fighting ability.
This guy can even use a paper doll clone to conquer nightmare-level dungeons. Among the players of the Spirit Disaster, he even earned the title of "Jade-Faced Killer". There are also rumors that he went to the three major organizations and beat his way to the leaders of each organization to gain their approval and establish the intelligence agency "Continental Hotel".
Of course, Wu Wang did not completely believe the rumor he heard from the all-knowing person.
After all, the Tarot Club and the Tower of Order are separate matters.
Judging from the situation on the side of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs alone...
It seems that the power of the Azure Dragon is something that no known player of the Calamity can possibly challenge.
That's someone who can truly rival a Venerable One!
However, this does not negate the fact that Qin Shusheng's combat strength is extremely high.
At least, the number of red-named players they've killed and their achievements in establishing mainland hotels speak for themselves.
In addition, when the Chaos went berserk and impacted the real world, and the Azure Dragon ascended to the sky to investigate the cause, Qin Shusheng immediately chose to follow it with one click.
This also proves that he has enough confidence.
Even if it doesn't possess the power to directly resist a Venerable like the Azure Dragon, it is definitely not a powerless being.
After all, Qinglong had once told him that if a Spirit Disaster player didn't have an awakened talent, they wouldn't even have the right to stand in front of any Venerable.
Because everything you have can be taken away by the Venerable Ones at any time; they are the embodiment of the law and are just that unreasonable.
Qin Shusheng probably only dared to act this way because he had the qualifications to stand before the venerable one.
However, his qualifications mostly stem from his being a spokesperson for "nothingness".
Wu Wang, of course, had not forgotten that he had seen Qin Shusheng use the power of [nothingness] inside the Black-Hearted Penguin's Wanbaolou.
That state was exactly the same as when the Ash Witch of the Tarot Society used the power of [Order].
Based on the information I have gathered, it is not difficult to deduce that Qin Shusheng is the spokesperson for "nihilism".
The Ash Witch had a conflict with the Warlord, the offspring of the Chaos Lord, during the Calamity Show dungeon, and showed no regard for the life-or-death challenge.
This also indirectly made Wu Wang realize that the power the spokesperson might possess after growing up would be even greater than that of the Venerable's offspring.
As time goes on, with the continuous updates to the game and the growing number of players, this power gap will only widen.
Players in this tier of Spokespersons will become the first tier below the Venerables!
This may also be why the Ash Witch and Qin Shusheng chose to embark on this path.
Clearly, Qin Shusheng has grown up.
The guy in front of them was toying with them and his second sister's combined attack. He forced them to return to reality with just a few skills. Such an arrogant crying monster could only get beaten up in Qin Shusheng's hands.
Even though Wu Wang believed that the crying-faced monster probably wouldn't be able to use its full power in the real world at this moment.
Otherwise, he would probably be facing the Azure Dragon.
That did not affect his judgment that Qin Shusheng's overall combat strength was definitely above that of the Crying Face Monster.
Even if the location were changed, the outcome probably wouldn't change much.
At most, their battle will cause even greater destruction.
"Hmph! I'll remember this debt, you purveyor of nothingness." The crying-faced monster looked at Qin Shusheng with a sinister gaze.
After this battle, how could he not see that his opponent was also using the power of a Venerable?
It was nothingness, something never seen before.
I really didn't expect that after returning to the real world, there would be such a guy waiting for me in the same place.
This is a loss that can only be swallowed in silence.
Just as Wu Wang had predicted, if he were to fight for a longer period of time or display more power that did not belong to this world, that guy in the sky would probably react.
After saying that, he looked at Wu Wang, who was flying over.
He raised his hand and used the giant scythe to tear open a spatial rift that led to an unknown destination.
He said, word by word, "Kid, state your name."
“I will remember you too.”
In response, Wu Wang stood tall and proud as he landed in the center of the battlefield.
He shouted in a strong voice:
A true man never changes his name or surname!
"I, Qin Shusheng, am ready to be challenged at any time!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shusheng, who was sitting on the tree stump, almost stumbled and fell.
No way, buddy! You call this "keeping your name and surname unchanged"?
Why the hell don't you just say your own name?! (End of Chapter)
