From the end of the world

Chapter 156 VS Great Perfection Level 3
Although it was only a brief confrontation, I have already analyzed the strengths and weaknesses between the enemy and me.

In terms of destructive power alone, the "Water Master Xuanwu" in front of me has never produced any performance that surpasses me. Not only in terms of destructive power, but also in terms of movement speed, he is definitely not fast enough for me to react.

However, he has a huge advantage over me in terms of fighting skills and experience. In stark contrast to me who always defeats enemies with overwhelming force, he has no lack of experience in fighting against people of equal strength, and even in fighting against strong enemies in a weak position. His eyes are sharp and his movements are agile, and he will never take it lightly. As an outsider, I can't find the flaw in his breathing.

In this case, I had to surprise him. It was obvious that he had a lot of experience in fighting. At such a close distance, he would not miss any strange movements I made with my hands and feet. However, if the real trap was hidden in the broken head, he would be caught off guard.

There is definitely no proper fighting technique in this world that teaches people how to deal with "the hand growing out of the enemy's severed neck".

The flames suddenly exploded right in front of me.

At the critical moment, "Water Master Xuanwu" suddenly raised his left hand and cut off his restrained right arm with a hand knife.

This was the first time I saw someone use a hand knife to do this. As long as the speed was fast enough, even a hand knife could really cut through anything, not to mention the supersonic hand knife that was full of mana. While breaking free from the restraints, he quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding the flame explosion at a close distance, leaving only his arm to be blown into pieces.

However, the flames I burst out engulfed the area of ​​200 meters in front of him in one breath. He retreated again and again, but he couldn't escape unscathed. Even at his fastest speed, facing such a large area, he would inevitably be chased by the flames. Most of his clothes were licked off by the flames.

He might have been relieved that he was out of my attack range, but my attack was not over yet. The body licked by the flames had been attached to my flames and heat, and now I could directly attack his body.

This time, I didn't pretend or make any strange movements, I just focused my thoughts.

The flames and heat in the distance suddenly magnified thousands of times, turning into a huge fireball that swallowed him up. He was obviously caught off guard, and let out a miserable howl of pain in the high temperature. In the firelight, only his afterimage could be vaguely seen as he gradually lost moisture and dried up and shrank.

After a dozen seconds, a horrible looking charcoal fell from the fireball.

That was the remains of the enemy. As expected of a master, even the way he died was completely different from my previous opponents. All my previous opponents who were defeated by me ended up turning into ashes, but he was very resistant to burning. Even after burning for a long time, you could still see the shape of a human body.

However, I still feel unsatisfied. Although it caused me severe pain in my soul, I am still alive and kicking. The soul is not like the human body. It is impossible to see the wounds and blood at a glance, so I don't know how serious my injuries are. Since it didn't affect my movements and the use of my strength, it means that it is probably not a serious injury.

It can't be that I just feel pain and it doesn't actually hurt me. The purpose of pain is to warn life of the existence of wounds, so I think I am still injured to some extent.

It is even possible that the person concerned thinks it is okay and will delay for a while before the serious injury with tragic consequences will appear. Perhaps it is necessary to ask Zhu Shi to help me check it later. Since her ability is to see flaws, she should also be able to see the wounds of the soul... No, didn't she say before that I was too bright to see clearly...

...Also, wait, calm down and think about whether I have just done something irreversible.

Did I kill the person who was suspected to be the navy Xuanwu?
Then who will treat Ma Zao's injuries afterwards?

Seeing the charred wreckage falling faster and faster, I immediately dived in that direction.

I don't know if I can give this charred body to Ma Zao, and whether she can bring it back from death to life... But even she can't bring the dead back to life. At least I have to take this charred body back so that she can find some useful information from it...

My thoughts raced, and it turned out that my worries might have been unnecessary.

Because the enemy is not dead at all.

Before I could retrieve it, the charred remains underwent incredible changes.

A large amount of flesh and blood grew out of the face, torso, limbs and other parts of the charred remains at a terrifying pace, just like earthworms burrowing out from the soil. In the process, mana fluctuations burst out from his body, driving out all the remaining heat inside.

In the blink of an eye, the "Navy Xuanwu" appeared intact.

He opened his eyes, hovering naked in the air, and looked over at me.

He could actually still be alive? I sensed it clearly just now. All his blood was evaporated, his flesh was dried up, and his internal organs and brain tissue were completely burned. Theoretically, in such high temperatures, it is impossible for a single cell inside him to survive. He was inactivated to such an extent but still not dead. This blood and flesh regeneration ability has already exceeded the limit of common sense.

However, this also means that there is still a part of him that I haven't completely burned to death. A part outside of the flesh - is it the soul?
The "fatal injury" just now seemed to have some effect on him. His breathing became much heavier, and the look in his eyes when he looked at me was full of vigilance.

I stopped my dive, restored my head shape, and then initiated the first communication since the start of this battle.

"Are you Xuanwu?" "Xuanwu..."

He pronounced these two words in an unfamiliar tone, but didn't seem to respond to my meaning.

"Why did you attack the Zhu family residence?" I asked, "And... where is Chang'an?"

"Are you talking about that human-demon hybrid? I have already killed him," he said.

After hearing the name Chang'an, he said "human-demon hybrid". This enemy at the great perfection level obviously knew Chang'an.

But his words were not credible. If he was dead, I could at least sense the body under the rubble. And since he would admit it in front of me, there was no need to deal with the body.

Maybe Chang'an urgently hid in a place that could block his perception when the enemy attacked.

Even so, I still find it unforgivable to see him say in front of me that he killed my friend.

"Do you want to kill me? Your murderous intent is exposed. It seems that you are a very loyal person. I don't hate people like you." He said, "But unfortunately, you can't kill me."

"Invincible? Just because of your regenerative power?" I asked back.

At the same time, I launched my own attack.

This time, I used the skill of igniting fire with my eyes. Of course, I didn't expect to be able to kill him with this skill. The mana wrapped around him was like a huge armor that blocked my mental intrusion, and the flames could not be ignited directly on him. However, it was still possible to ignite around him.

The flames transformed into six walls that appeared around him, enclosing him from top to bottom, left to right, front to back, like a prison cell, and then shrank and swept towards him.

His regeneration ability is indeed very strong, but from his heavy breathing, it can be seen that his amazing regeneration ability will definitely consume his strength. Although I don't know whether it is the loss of mana or something else, in short, the number of times he can regenerate is limited. No matter what kind of immortal body it is, it is impossible to revive infinitely, and he is no exception. So what we have to do next is to keep consuming him.

As for whether he is the Navy Xuanwu, it is no longer important. Judging from the strange tone in which he pronounced the word "Xuanwu" just now, he is most likely not. Even if he is, since he has attacked the Zhu family, there is no way to expect him to keep his promise to Mr. Zhu to make a panacea for us. Killing him here is also a way to get rid of a nuisance as soon as possible.

And then, he once again displayed his magical powers that I had never expected.

He raised his right hand and clenched his fist. A large amount of black matter burst out from the gaps between his fingers. The black matter turned into a shield as tall as a person, and then he pushed the shield and broke through one of the fire walls.

I immediately recognized the true identity of the black substance.

There is no mistake, that is a power I have seen many times, the ability to manipulate shadows!

The reason why he clenched his right fist was to create a shadow inside his fist, and the black shield was a shield formed by shadow matter.

The black shield collided directly with the flame wall. Based on my past experience, shadow matter would be destroyed in an instant under the burning of my flames, but this time it was different. The black shield actually absorbed the flames that came into contact with it, and he pushed the shield and successfully broke out of the flame cell.

No, that's not "absorption".

That is the ability of shadow teleportation.

The black shield was clearly a portal, and the flames were teleported to the shadow world.

I immediately controlled the rest of the flames to sweep towards his back, but I saw the shield in his hand instantly deformed, turning into a full body armor that tightly wrapped him up. He neither dodged nor defended against the flames that attacked him, but let them come at him.

The next moment, all the flames that hit him passed through the strange armor and entered another world!
The man in dark armor turned around and attacked me. He was now in an invincible state that no attack could interfere with him. I was stunned for a moment.

He actually turned himself into a human-shaped portal!
