Eternal Night.

Chapter 925 Fight
(PS: I'm finally better. I'll be discharged tomorrow morning. My parents-in-law and wife will be going. I can resume normal updates tomorrow.)
While Wu Pifu was still deep in thought, the remaining twenty or so people were too exhausted to run any further. Because the crisis had been averted, it was clear that the army or security forces had arrived. They all collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, crying and howling, and some of them were even defecating and urinating.

The terror of this life-or-death situation isn't just about dying instantly, but about being chased, caught up with, devoured, and then merged into the monster, becoming one with it. It's likely that you won't even be able to die. This kind of terror is enough to destroy the courage and rationality of any normal, intelligent being.

At the end of the passage, a dozen soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor ran quickly towards them. Each of them was about three and a half meters tall, with an automatically aiming gun or cannon barrel on their shoulders and jet propulsion equipment behind them. Their movement speed was extremely fast, covering 100 meters in less than two seconds. They were highly mobile, and judging from their previous ultra-long-range shooting, their long-range attack accuracy was also very high. Clearly, they were very powerful technological equipment.

"Be on alert! Isolate! Treat!"

When the captain reached within 500 meters of the group, he shouted loudly. Immediately, half of the group rushed to the area within a kilometer radius of the passage. Two white-painted exoskeleton soldiers began spraying a mist at the wounded but still alive people on the ground. At the same time, the remaining soldiers ran towards the other survivors, shouting at them to put their hands on their heads and lie down. Then, they used the light emanating from their exoskeletons to sweep the survivors' bodies.

Watching his team members' actions, the captain shouted, "Don't use the main control system for judgment yet! It consumes a lot of spiritual energy. First, perform a preliminary scan and a second mental scan on everyone, then gather them together for the main control system judgment!"

At this moment, a team member came to Qing and Wu Pifu and said the same thing: "Hands down and lie down." At the same time, he looked at Qing with curiosity as he lay on the ground vomiting and crying, while Wu Pifu stood there blankly with a dazed look on his face and lifeless eyes.

Qing seemed to come to his senses, and he immediately shouted, "This is my buddy. His brain is damaged and needs repair, but he's still human, he hasn't turned into a monster. Don't hurt him!"

The team member nodded, first glancing at Qing, then said to Qing, "Stand still and don't make any rash moves. We really know how to fire, so don't make a mistake."

After saying that, he walked over to Wu Pifu, reached out and pressed down on his back, intending to knock him to the ground for a full-body scan.

However, just as he reached out to touch Wu Pifu's back, Wu Pifu's body slightly turned, seemingly without moving, but the team member's arm slid off Wu Pifu's body.

"...What?" The team member exclaimed in surprise as he looked at his arm.

This is the most advanced mental combat exoskeleton device, much more sensitive than earlier models of neural connection exoskeleton armor. It's almost indistinguishable from human body tissue, and it also has an artificial intelligence-assisted control system. It's incredibly strange that the target he reaches out to grab could not possibly slip away.

He immediately went on high alert, because similar tragedies had occurred before, with nightmares lurking in people's bodies, causing numerous casualties. He aimed his weapon at Wu Pifu and shouted, "Don't move! I am a member of the Multidimensional Universe Unified Government's garrison. I order you not to move, or I will open fire immediately!"

After saying that, the team member carefully reached out and touched Wu Pifu's back again. At the same time, a large number of icons began to appear in his field of vision. The team members around him looked at him and Wu Pifu, whose palm he was pointing at.

Then, he moved his palm close to Wu Pifu's back, and Wu Pifu's back trembled slightly. He then slid his palm away from Wu Pifu's back again.

Immediately, the energy weapon on his shoulder began to flash, and the energy weapons on the shoulders of more than ten team members around him also began to flash, but they were immediately stopped by the captain.

"Wait! His movements... I told you to wait!"

The captain's command immediately halted the energy weapon that was about to fire, but no one dared to approach Wu Pifu. They all carefully kept their distance from him and looked at the captain with curiosity.

"Captain! At this time?" a team member questioned.

The captain immediately said, "I know that we must guard all the entrances to District 13 at this time. We can't afford to delay or be soft-hearted... but his actions..."

At that moment, Qing immediately scrambled over to Wu Pifu's side, grabbed him, and said, "Dude, lie down! What are you doing? You'll die!"

The captain hesitated for a moment, but still opened the remote communication in front of all the team members: "Command, I am the captain of the 8th Garrison Team of Area A172. My number is XZ1714311... Connect me to the Martial Arts Training Department."

After confirming the captain's voice and true identity on the other end of the remote communication, the call was quickly transferred. After two or three more transfers, the captain respectfully said, "Master Ma, we have some footage that we hope you can take a look at..."

Master Ma seemed to be a big shot. After receiving the call, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I remember you, you so-and-so from the garrison. You're one of the more capable ones I trained... I'm very busy right now. A nightmare immune to ranged attacks has appeared, and I'm busy with some old friends..."

The captain didn't say much, but immediately sent over the footage of the team member touching Wu Pifu's back.

Master Ma seemed even more impatient, but he still reluctantly accepted the information. A few seconds later, he roared in shock, "Holy crap! Who is this?! Where is he?!"

The captain quickly explained the situation briefly before saying, "I noticed that this person's movements were very similar to those of Master Ma when he fought with another master, so I asked him about it."

Master Ma immediately asked anxiously, "Where are you?"

The captain hesitated for a moment, but considering Master Ma's status and position, he still transmitted the location coordinates, saying, "This place is located on the edge of District Twelve, and the control system's control is very low. Master Ma might be in danger if he comes here..."

"Bullshit! Just wait!"

Master Ma roared and immediately shut down the communication. The surrounding team members all looked at their captain with puzzled expressions. "Captain, who is this Master Ma?" one of the team members asked.

The captain stated directly, "Master Mazda, a grand-disciple of the original creator, is also the strongest individual combatant currently existing. Someone like me, he could take on a hundred of me by himself. He is a treasure of the Multidimensional Universe Government's Martial Arts Training Department, he..."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say!"

A rough voice came from behind them, and they immediately looked back in surprise to see a middle-aged man with long arms and legs appear out of thin air and stride toward Wu Pifu.

"Master Ma!? You used the teleportation system directly!?" the captain exclaimed in surprise.

As Mazda walked, he said, "Time is of the essence. I still have some spiritual energy stored up, so I'll use it. Is this the young man?"

The captain and his teammates looked at each other, all of them horrified.

So arrogant!

Teleportation requires an enormous amount of spiritual energy. Even with public resources, these garrison units cannot teleport. Only special forces within the government occasionally receive teleportation privileges. However, Mazda's teleportation clearly did not come from public funds. This kind of self-funded teleportation could bankrupt thousands of families with just one instance.

That's real extravagance!

Mazda ignored him and went straight to Wu Pifu. He saw Qing spreading his arms to block him. He frowned and said to Qing, "Little kid, don't block me. Don't worry, I won't hurt your friend."

Qing remained motionless in front of Mazda, but Mazda grew impatient and pointed at Qing. Qing immediately went limp and collapsed to the ground. Mazda then reached out and grabbed Wu Pifu's shoulder without hesitation.

However, in the instant of the grab, Wu Pifu's body also moved; his shoulder slumped and trembled, and Mazda's arm slipped off his shoulder.

Mazda's eyes lit up, and with a low shout, he reached out with both hands, one reaching for Wu Pifu's shoulder and the other for his back. However, as his hands reached out, Wu Pifu's arm arrived first, pointing a finger directly at Mazda's elbow joint, then withdrawing it immediately. Mazda's arm went limp and he was unable to move for a moment.

"What!?"

Mazda itself was the first to exclaim in surprise.

He moved his feet in quick succession, leaping backward about ten meters. Then he shook his arms repeatedly and used his other hand to massage his elbow to improve blood circulation. It took at least seven or eight seconds before the soreness in his hands finally subsided. Only then did he truly get serious.

"Little friend, what's up with this friend of yours!?"

Mazda dared not make a move again. He circled Wu Pifu twice, even standing in Wu Pifu's blind spot. Wu Pifu remained standing still, completely oblivious to his surroundings. Moreover, Wu Pifu's movements were completely unguarded, and his physical presence was no different from that of an ordinary person. This made Mazda very uneasy, so he simply asked Qing.

Qing struggled to his feet, his anger rising, but he dared not speak out. He said, "My buddy, he entered a nightmare and woke up feeling a bit dazed. He needs treatment. Sir, officer, sir, please spare us."

Mazda frowned and said, "I'm not a bad person, why are you howling like that? Nightmare? It has this effect? ​​Or... is he actually hiding his strength? Only now that he can no longer disguise himself, and his physical body automatically exposes itself? But if his physical instincts are this strong, how strong must he have been originally?"

Mazda himself couldn't believe it, so he decided to give it a thorough test. He spread his legs, raised his arms, roared, his muscles bulged, his blood surged, and he took a step forward, charging from the rear towards Wu Pifu's blind spot.

This time he decided to go for something more intense. Even if someone got hurt, he'd just treat them; anyway…

The next moment, as his fighting spirit erupted, carrying a natural, slightly murderous intent, Wu Pifu suddenly turned his head, his eyes like lightning, his figure changing shape, as if lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere, or as if Mount Sumeru emerged from an unbelievable mustard seed, leaving Mazda no time to react before Wu Pifu's finger was already pointing at the back of his head. With just a little force, he would die instantly.

Mazda was covered in cold sweat, still poised to charge forward, but dared not move. As he remained still, Wu Pifu, who sensed no killing intent, also remained still, and time passed second by second.

It wasn't until some time later that Qing ripped Wu Pifu away, and Mazda collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat.

"……you……"

Mazda suddenly sprang to his feet, but dared not touch Wu Pifu. He simply shouted excitedly, "Who did you learn from?!"

"Is that original being still alive!?"
