Chapter 182: They are slandering me!
The two of them stood on the moral high ground, continuously criticizing Su Zhan.
Yet they never mentioned a word about how this disaster was entirely their own creation.
……
6 hours later.
The screams from the streets below gradually grew sparse.
Eventually, they faded completely into deathly silence.
On the rooftop.
Su Zhan had been concealing his aura the entire time.
If he were an ordinary person, even hiding in a place like this would be detected by the keen senses of the mist creatures.
Su Zhan didn't dare act recklessly.If he could hear the conversation between the two Aberrants.
He would say: I'm warning you two not to spout nonsense, I'll sue you for slander! They're slandering me! They're slandering me!
Su Zhan's gaze swept over the area below.
His vision suddenly fixed on a two-story building facing the street in the distance.
There seemed to be shadows moving behind the windows, but that wasn't the key point.
The key was.
On the street below the building, at least three Poison Frog Beasts were frantically chasing prey.
They crawled past the entrance of that small building, and one even had its giant claw resting on the steps outside, its massive mouth full of sharp teeth mere meters from the window.
Yet all these monsters seemed to completely ignore the building's existence, with not a single one attempting to break in.
They simply indifferently detoured around it.
Or outright looked past it, continuing to pounce on other easier prey.
"Found it."
A cold light flashed in Su Zhan's eyes.
When the Transcendence Society's Aberrants summoned the mist, they gained temporary immunity among the mist creatures, allowing these monsters to subconsciously avoid their location.
That building being ignored by the monsters.
Was exactly that.
The ones hiding inside could only be the masterminds.
Who caused this disaster—Skinny Monkey and Iron Wall.
Su Zhan silently removed his conspicuous fluorescent green jacket and accessories, revealing the black combat suit underneath that allowed for easy movement.
He held two long knives in a reverse grip behind his back, moving silently along the rooftop edge, choosing a direction completely opposite from that window.
He dropped into a narrow back alley.
Avoiding the monsters' perception range.
Using the ruins for cover.
Su Zhan took a huge detour.
Coming from the completely opposite direction, he directly assaulted that two-story building!
Bang!
The back door was violently smashed open by tremendous force, wood splinters flying everywhere.
Su Zhan charged into the room.
His twin knives aimed directly at the two figures inside who turned around in shock!
"Who's there?!"
Skinny Monkey reacted extremely fast, his thin body twisting backward with inhuman flexibility, narrowly avoiding the blade aimed at his neck.
But his chest was still sliced open with a deep, bone-revealing wound.
Iron Wall roared angrily, too late to completely turn around, his thick arm that showed a metallic sheen suddenly blocked backward!
Clang—!
Sparks flew everywhere!
Su Zhan felt a tremendous recoil force transmitted through his blade—the opponent's arm was unimaginably hard!
"It's you!? The one in green clothes!"
Skinny Monkey covered his bleeding chest, his face filled with shock and fury.
He never expected the other party to dare actively seek them out.
And found their hiding place!
"Looking to die!"
Iron Wall completely turned around, his other arm instantly covered in metal-like hard shell, like two heavy hammers, smashing toward Su Zhan with howling wind!
Su Zhan's eyes were icy cold, completely unmoved.
His twin knives danced, transforming into layered nets of blades.
Chopping, lifting, thrusting, parrying.
Engaging in fierce combat with the two Aberrants within this confined space!
Blade lights flashed, hard claws swept wildly!
Furniture was easily torn apart, the walls instantly covered in knife marks and fist imprints!
Their strength—two Low-risk tenth stage.
And Su Zhan—Dew Realm tenth stage plus Low-risk tenth stage.
But the quality of his realm was completely different from theirs.
An SSS-grade Life Soul Awakened individual, being able to fight above his level, not excessive, right?
Currently the world's only known Aberrant who can absorb mist creatures' life essence to grow stronger, fighting above his level, also not excessive, right?
Well then.
These two are combined.
So next...
Same realm, one against two, easy fight, not excessive, right?
Within the confined space, the battle instantly erupted to its peak!
"Damn it! So fast!"
Skinny Monkey shrieked.
His thin body displayed astonishing agility.
Sliding along the wall as if boneless, trying to create distance.
His arms mutated, fingers turning black and sharp.
Creating afterimages, cunningly and viciously stabbing toward Su Zhan's eyes, throat, heart, and other vital points!
"Roar!"
Iron Wall was completely the opposite style.
He roared, his arms and even upper body covered in heavy armor shell, like a human tank, directly and brutally smashing through the broken furniture blocking his path.
His fists pounded out like pile drivers.
Powerful and heavy, each strike enough to break monuments and crack stones!
Facing the pincer attack of one fast and fierce, one clever and clumsy.
Su Zhan's eyes were cold as the abyss.
"Time Abyss Pupil!"
He mentally shouted.
Buzz—!
A strange force field instantly spread out with him as the center!
Skinny Monkey's originally swift wind-like speed suddenly slowed down.
At this moment, their movements were full of openings.
"Accelerate."
Su Zhan used his same old tactics.
Effortlessly and casually avoiding Iron Wall's powerful heavy punches.
Still having spare energy to use his knife hilt to deflect Skinny Monkey's slowly stabbing poisonous fingers.
The Aberrant power within Su Zhan's body was surging wildly.
Without changing his physical form,
He could utilize 50% of the physical strength of his Aberrant form.
But this was already enough.
Su Zhan reversed his grip and slashed a blade toward Iron Wall's neck!
Clang!
Sparks flew again!
Iron Wall raised his armored arm to block at the critical moment.
But this time, the power transmitted from Su Zhan's blade far exceeded before!
"What!?"
Iron Wall only felt intense pain in his arm.
The hard armor shell was actually chopped with a deep crack!
He was slashed staggering backward.
Crashing through the wall behind him, stone fragments flying everywhere!
"Brother Monkey!"
Iron Wall roared in shock and anger.
Skinny Monkey wanted to rescue him, but under the slowing effect of Time Abyss Pupil.
He could only watch helplessly as Su Zhan closed in on Iron Wall like a ghost.
"Die!"
Su Zhan's voice was icy cold, his twin knives crossed and slashed out!
Extremely fast!
The blade light chopped into the armor shell on Iron Wall's neck!
Squelch—!
A head partially covered in armor shell soared into the air!
Iron Wall's eyes wide with shock and disbelief, his headless corpse heavily collapsing to the ground.
"Iron Wall!!"
Skinny Monkey's eyes nearly burst from their sockets, terror and fury allowing him to temporarily break through part of the slowing effect, his ten fingers dancing wildly, creating a cloud of black poisonous shadows pouncing toward Su Zhan's back.
Trying to save Zhao by besieging Wei!
Su Zhan didn't look back.
With his mental power, he could completely perceive what was happening behind him.
A light sidestep and spin, his twin knives following the momentum!
One blade light parried Skinny Monkey's poisonous claws,
The other blade light directly stabbed toward his heart!
"Pfft—!"
The long knife pierced completely through!
Skinny Monkey's forward charging movement suddenly froze.
Looking down in disbelief at the blood-stained blade tip protruding from his own chest.
Su Zhan twisted his wrist, the long knife violently churning inside the body!
Skinny Monkey's body trembled violently, the light in his eyes instantly fading, his black sharp fingers weakly drooping.
Swish!
Su Zhan withdrew his knife and stepped back, avoiding the spraying blood.
Skinny Monkey's corpse softly collapsed to the ground, lying together with Iron Wall's headless body.
In just a short moment.
Two Aberrants who were considered skilled even within the Transcendence Society were completely crushed and killed by Su Zhan's absolute speed, power, and timing!
They never expected to die this quickly.
Their earlier words turned them into complete clowns at this moment.
Su Zhan let out a turbid breath.
Now the two intelligent ones are dead.
The remaining mindless mist creatures.
Heh～
Just experience packs.
Medium-risk...
This time I will definitely break through to Medium-risk!
