Chapter 25 – Three-Front Battle!

Volume 3

Wen Yu frowned as he watched One-Eye come sprinting toward him, his eyes filled with gravity.

Wen Yu knew One-Eye's strength better than anyone. Once this guy went berserk, there were very few creatures at Level 4 or below that could beat him.

But now he was being chased all over the place. Clearly, some unknown change had occurred.

"What happened?"

Wen Yu looked toward the thunderous noise coming from behind One-Eye and couldn't help asking.

"Woof, woof."

"Another me showed up."

"Another you? What do you mean?"

"Woof, woof."

This time, One-Eye's bark carried no meaning. It was simply a threat.

A threat aimed at the creature pursuing him from behind.

Wen Yu glanced at Guan Tao, who was slowly edging backward, then looked at the giant creature that was about to appear before him. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to bother with Guan Tao's little movements.

Compared with a creature capable of making One-Eye run for his life, the threat Guan Tao posed was pitifully small.

Ahead of him, accompanied by booming footsteps and faint tremors through the ground, an earthen-yellow figure slowly appeared before Wen Yu.

Wen Yu naturally recognized it. That was Simba.

Wen Yu looked at Simba's ten-meter-tall body and fell silent for a long while before turning to One-Eye.

"Don't tell me this is the guy who chased you all over the place."

Ever since One-Eye started following Wen Yu, everyone had seen how quickly his strength had grown and how terrifying his Skill combinations were. To say that One-Eye, also a Level 4, couldn't beat Simba, whose Physical Attribute was roughly the same as his, was the first thing Wen Yu refused to believe!

After all, Simba might be strong, but in the end, he was only the local Overlord of a fourth-tier city. Wen Yu, on the other hand, was the genuine Human Sequence 2!

"Woof, woof."

"There's another one…"

In truth, One-Eye no longer needed to explain. The moment that familiar figure appeared beside Simba, Wen Yu understood why One-Eye had run.

"Woof, woof."

"Its Skills are the same. Its fighting style is the same too."

Wen Yu listened to One-Eye's explanation, then nodded after a long pause.

"Your decision to run was absolutely correct!"

As One-Eye's master, Wen Yu was well aware of how terrifying One-Eye truly was. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately opened the Third Soul Realm and summoned Star back!

…

As purple light flashed, Star's tiny body emerged from space.

Even in his miniature state, Star was still quite powerful. At the very least, hunting down a human at Mid-Level 3 did not require him to enter Battle Form.

"I killed two, but I couldn't find the other one."

As soon as Star landed, he immediately sent Wen Yu a mental message reporting the results of his fight. Only then did he take in the situation around him.

Beside him were Wen Yu and One-Eye, along with Xiao Xue, who was still standing next to Wen Yu and had not left.

Behind Wen Yu and the others was Guan Tao.

By now, Guan Tao had already shuffled his way to the edge of the woods and was about to leave the range of the main battlefield. Wen Yu knew it full well, but he still paid him no mind.

In front of Star were two ten-meter-tall figures, one yellow and one gray.

Looking at the familiar figure ahead, Star was clearly unable to process it for a moment.

First he turned to look at One-Eye on his side, then at the Fake One-Eye up ahead. Confused, Star scratched his head.

"Dog-Ge, is that your brother?"

"Woof, woof."

"That's a fake. Something transformed into it."

In Wen Yu's mind, One-Eye relayed everything that had just happened to both Wen Yu and Star in full detail.

"A Sacred Beast? Are you sure it's a Mutant Creature and not some weird item?"

"Woof, woof."

"That's what the Black-Robed Man said."

Wen Yu nodded in understanding.

Looking at the Fake One-Eye before him, Wen Yu narrowed his eyes as waves of emotion stirred in his heart.

Clearly, Wen Yu was tempted!

Right now, Wen Yu's Fourth Soul was vacant. However, there were far, far too few Mutant Beasts capable of catching Wen Yu's eye.

If he could get a Soul Pet capable of taking on other forms, its usefulness would be enormous!

It might even surpass Star.

Even if that thing was not a Mutant Creature, the most Wen Yu would waste was the three-day cooldown on forming a contract.

That much time, Wen Yu could afford to wait.

…

Behind Simba and Fake One-Eye, the Black Robe leader and another Black-Robed Man slowly stepped out.

"Wen Yu, long time no see."

A somewhat muffled voice came from the other Black-Robed Man.

"And who are you?"

The Black-Robed Man pulled off his hood, revealing the face hidden beneath the Black Robe.

Seeing the familiar figure before him, Wen Yu nodded.

"It really has been a long time. But you don't look so good. Seems like you won't live past today."

The Black-Robed Man who had removed his hood was none other than Wan Ping.

"It's not as serious as you make it sound."

Wan Ping pondered for a while before finally realizing that Wen Yu meant he was definitely going to die here today.

"As for you, there isn't any deep hatred between us. If you hand over your dog, I can make the call and spare your life."

"Wan Ping, that won't do. Didn't we already agree? You get your revenge, and this man and his Mutant Beast's bodies go to us."

Hearing the Black-Robed Man's words, Wan Ping fell silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Originally, Wan Ping and Guan Tao's plan had been to kill Wen Yu, then immediately get rid of the people from the Demon Worship Cult.

But now, it seemed that even with the Demon Worship Cult's manpower and the Sacred Beast added in, they still couldn't say they had a sure win against Wen Yu.

As for killing every living thing present…

That was no longer possible.

"Tao-Ge, you should leave first. The fight from here on isn't something you can take part in anymore."

Guan Tao had long since retreated into the distance. Hearing Wan Ping's words, he immediately nodded, turned, and ran down the mountain.

"You leave too. Also, you owe me one."

Wen Yu said this to Xiao Xue without even turning his head.

Xiao Xue looked at the remaining creatures present. Not a single one was below Level 4. Only then did she understand just how laughable her desire to take revenge with her own hands had been. She directly summoned her Soul Pet, Qiqi, and ran toward the rear.

Only Wen Yu, his two beasts, and the two men and two beasts opposite him remained.

…

Wen Yu sized up Wan Ping's bluish complexion and the Black-Robed Man whose face was still hidden. After a brief exchange with One-Eye and Star, he launched a direct attack on Wan Ping!

The Gun roared. Bullets struck the spot where Wan Ping had been standing, but the enemy had already dodged out of the way.

Simba let out a furious roar and pounced straight at Wen Yu, only to be slammed into by a figure of the same size!

The one blocking Simba was One-Eye.

One-Eye's two front limbs battered Simba's body in a frenzy, while Tyrannical Flame blasted continuously from his mouth, knocking Simba into a stagger.

As the two Level 4 Mutant Beasts tangled together, they rolled off into the distance.

"Follow them. Kill that dog!"

The Black-Robed Man gave the order to Fake One-Eye, who was still standing in place. Fake One-Eye had just started to turn when an even larger black figure seized him!

Two hind claws clamped directly onto Fake One-Eye's spine. At the same time, Star spread his wings, their nearly thirty-meter wingspan blotting out the sky!

Scales shimmering with waves of light, savage fangs, razor-sharp claws, and a body twenty meters long-every part of him announced to everyone present who had never seen Star's Battle Form just how terrifying the monster before them truly was!

The Black-Robed Man stared blankly at the horrifying creature in front of him. He watched Star beat his wings, whipping up gusts of wild wind across the ground, then watched as Star carried Fake One-Eye straight into the distance!

This was Wen Yu's plan.

Divide the battlefield, then use One-Eye and Star's overwhelming individual strength to finish off Simba and Fake One-Eye first.

As for the two guys in front of him…

Wen Yu himself was no easy opponent either!
