Chapter 159 Destroying the Disaster Zone Single-handedly

The deafening roar carried far and wide.

Even the ground was trembling slightly.

A small team of warriors who had just explored the depths of Mud City suddenly discovered the collapsing pavilion.

"Look!" A young man in combat gear looked up and exclaimed in surprise. "What kind of monster is that?!"

The other seven or eight people also looked in the direction of the sound.

With a deafening roar, the top two floors of the five-story pavilion collapsed one after another, and countless streams of mud poured down like a waterfall.

A massive, yellow clay-headed dog was rampaging through the building, frantically pounding and tearing at something. Amidst the churning mud, faint glimmers of icy, azure light shone through.

Sudden.

Bang! !

A pillar of brownish-red fire, like an angry dragon bursting through the earth, shot straight up and instantly shattered the left forelimb of the human-headed dog!
"Ow—"

The piercing roar transformed into a tangible shockwave, shattering into layers of scaly ripples on the surface of the mud waterfall, causing the entire pavilion to tremble violently.

"That monster must be the Cataclysm!"

"In the volunteer squad," a middle-aged man wearing glasses said in a deep voice.

"Someone is fighting it!"

"Huh?" The other companions were quite surprised. "Even faster than us... Could it be that a high-ranking member of the Brave Association personally intervened?"

"It shouldn't be." The middle-aged man shook his head in denial. "As far as I know, there are no fire-type experts among the higher-ups of the Brave Association."

"Perhaps it's the elites overlooking the Bureau's External Affairs Department, or those few free five-star professional warriors..."

"Let's go! Let's get out of this area for now!"

The leader, a short-haired young man, made a hand gesture.

As soon as he gave the order, the volunteer team quickly withdrew until they reached a safe area a hundred meters away, where they continued to observe through binoculars.

As everyone saw, three stories of the pavilion had collapsed, and amidst the churning mud, the person who had been fighting the giant dog finally appeared—

There was only one person!

The person was clad in ice crystal armor, with a pair of illusory fire wings sprouting from his back. He twirled through the air, leaving a trail of brownish-red streaks.

It was Wang Xi.

He used his fire wings to leap through the air, dodging the mud balls spat out by the giant dog, glancing at it out of the corner of his eye.

"Lord of Fuzhen Castle (Disaster Core) · Fawning Dog (Nemesis/5-Star/Hero)"

After transforming into his giant dog form, City Lord Tang Mu's strength increased by a level, reaching a five-star silver frame!
Wang Xi, however, was not afraid of it.

However, this monster is enormous and its entire body is made of yellow mud, so without a powerful means of attack, it is difficult to harm it in the slightest.

Even if the time goes on, its injuries can heal quickly, making it very difficult to deal with.

Puff puff--

A muffled, thunderous tremor emanated from the giant dog's abdomen. With each contraction, a mud bullet, half a meter in diameter, spewed from its mouth. These mud-covered spherical clods tore through the air with a terrifying howl, their power comparable to siege catapults.

If it were to hit an ordinary person, it would probably explode into a cloud of blood mist on the spot.

Wang Xi spread his fiery wings behind him, stepped on the air, and leaped up several meters, dodging the mudball cannon.

Beneath the cross-shaped seam of his ice crystal helmet, his eyes were fixed on the giant dog as he took a deep breath.

'With my current mana reserves, I should have enough to sustain the consumption of that card!'

A thought flashed through Wang Xi's mind.

Without further hesitation, he immediately activated the one of the three deep blue cards that he had never used before.

—"Playing with fire and getting burned!"
Bear!!

Once activated, the magic power within Wang Xi's body surged forth like a burst dam, pouring out at an astonishing speed.

He was engulfed in flames, resembling a human torch.

Under these circumstances, the "Lord of Scorched Earth" gains a buff, with its fire wings expanding and flames flickering behind it.

However, the "King of Winter" was suppressed, its effect was greatly reduced, and even the ice armor on his body began to melt.

'Without the guidance and synthesis of Master DaKa, using ice and fire simultaneously will only hinder each other...'

Wang Xi sighed secretly.

He simply stopped using "King of Winter".

Bear!
Flames spewed from Wang Xi's handsome face, his eyes were ablaze with red, and even his hair, dyed with flames, stood on end without wind.

A violent fire element gathered around Wang Xi.

He is like the sun!
The volunteer squad a hundred meters away was utterly shocked by this scene, and they were all dumbfounded.

Who exactly is this ruthless character?
Even from this distance, the firelight is quite dazzling!
Puff puff--

The giant dog with the human head opened its mouth again, its abdomen contracted, and it spewed out several mud-ball projectiles.

This time, Wang Xi neither dodged nor avoided, appearing like a shooting star.

bass! !

A flaming sword blade erupted from his palm, amplified by the "Blazing Wings Dance" technique, giving it formidable cutting power. In a single strike, it cleaved Niwan in two.

The man's momentum remained undiminished, forming a fire tornado that pierced through the forehead of the giant dog with a human head.

Bang! !

Most of the giant dog's head disintegrated and exploded, and the circular cavity was difficult to reassemble for a while.

Wang Xi flapped his wings and suddenly stopped in mid-air.

—"The Bloodthirsty Maniac"!
His momentum surged once again.

The flames burning on his body shot up three meters high, their color growing increasingly scarlet, like blood flames.

The flaming sword in his hand extended several meters.

"Kill!" he roared.

The flames overflowing from the corners of his mouth swirled and rolled.

—"A Stroke of Landscape"!
Wang Xi spun around and slashed.

This sword strike was like ink splashed from a brush, a needle suspended vertically!
The vertical strokes end sharply like needles, the brushstrokes are vigorous and executed in one go, like a sharp sword being drawn from its sheath.

Huaisu's "Autobiographical Essay" is written in this style.

The "wildness" in cursive script is also like this.

This stroke stems from the writer's emotional outpouring; the momentum of a vertical stroke is often an externalization of one's state of mind—Wang Xi was filled with murderous intent, determined to cleave everything in two with a single sword stroke!
Bear!!

The crimson flames suddenly collapsed into a line of scarlet, and the flaming sword in Wang Xi's hand was as if it had been forged from the sun, the air twisting and steaming wherever the sword's edge passed.

The giant dog tilted its head back, the swirling mud yet to take shape.

Whoosh!

The flaming sword had already pierced through his skull.

Time seemed to stand still. The instant the blade sliced ​​through the yellow clay torso, the intense heat melted the mud into a crimson-gold waterfall. The dog's body split open, the cross-section smooth and even, billowing black smoke rising into the sky.

Wang Xi raised his arm and sheathed his sword, and the fiery wings stirred up a burning wind.

He slowly landed on the ground dozens of meters away, the cards were deactivated one after another, and a strong sense of weariness surged up.

"call……"

He let out a long breath and looked up.

In the ruins of the mud-brick building, only two dog-shaped charred shells remained, slowly collapsing. The cracks shimmered with a dark red afterglow, like an unclosed volcano crater still breathing out distorted heat waves.

"The hazard core has been eliminated!"

"The disaster area is about to disappear!"

...

...

"The Cataclysmic Monster... has been killed?!"

The members of the professional volunteer squad, a hundred meters away, looked shocked. The short-haired youth at the head of the squad took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"To destroy the disaster core single-handedly—that kind of strength is probably beyond even the capabilities of the elites of the Foreign Affairs Department or five-star professional warriors..."

"Unless it's a powerful figure like Elder Wei of the Yongxie Association or Vice President Li personally taking action."

Can you see his face clearly?

The team members put down their binoculars and shook their heads regretfully: "It's too far away, and the smoke and dust are blocking the view, so we can't see clearly."

“How about… we go and make contact?” one of the female team members suggested. “Making contact with such a strong person would be a good thing for the team.”

The short-haired youth pondered for a moment, then decisively ordered, "Let's go! Be mindful of etiquette and don't offend them!"

In fact, besides this volunteer squad, several other teams are also approaching Wang Xi.

After all, the battle just now was so intense that it attracted the attention of many people.

now.

Wang Xizheng stood alone beside the ruins.

Gurgling——

Mud gushed out of the ruins, spreading outwards like a tide, washing over his feet, where it was blocked by a layer of ice crystals.

Wang Xi let out a soft "hmm" and bent down to pick up a blackened, lumpy object from the mud.

He looked down and examined it closely, but was taken aback.

"Disaster Core Certificate: A blackened substance containing strong, unknown contamination, and also the source of power that sustains disaster core activities. Its function is unknown; please handle with caution."

This was clearly the core of the human-headed giant dog "City Lord Tang Mu," which fell out after its death.

But what surprised Wang Xi even more was that the black block was actually a hardcover book.

The book's cover is as smooth and hard as obsidian, with intricate and beautiful patterns engraved on the surface, and several large, gilded characters vertically engraved in the center:

The Confessions of Mr. Fool

Wang Xi's pupils contracted slightly as he reached out and opened the book. The pages were made of neither paper nor leather; they felt warm and smooth like jade, yet were exceptionally tough.

He continued flipping through the pages, and the ink stains came into view—

"Tang Mu, courtesy name Guinan, was twenty years old. He was the son of a wealthy merchant from Pinghai in the northern border region..."

The handwriting is free and unrestrained, and the strokes are sharp and forceful.

This is clearly his handwriting!

No, to be precise—

This is the story he wrote himself!

Therefore, Wang Xizhi of the Mystic Realm indirectly influenced the main world by affecting Zhang Fuyun…

Wang Xi's eyes were deep and profound.

'Whether in the realm of fairy tales or the realm of fantasy, there are always such key figures, such as Godariel in "Cinderella," Beve in "The Sugar Peach," and Zhang Fuyun in "The Prodigy," etc.'

'Could this impact be good or bad?'

Thinking of this, Wang Xi couldn't help but think of the kind of dark corruption in fairy tales once again. That was very likely the source of the main world's labyrinth disasters and calamities.

If the corruption and contamination can be completely eradicated, perhaps the labyrinth of the main world will also disappear, and humanity's greatest threat will cease to exist.

Of course, this is just a guess.

Even if his guess comes true, he is powerless to do anything about it given his current strength.

hum-

Suddenly, the black book in Wang Xi's hand turned into a white card, "Disaster Core Certificate (Item Card/White One-Star/Cannot be Upgraded)".

This was the first time he had ever seen cards drop out without needing to be drawn.

Its special characteristics are evident.

"Mr. Wang Xi?!"

A gasp broke the silence.

Wang Xi looked back at the sound and found that a large number of people had gathered around. They were all labeled "Gucheng Professional Warrior," mostly two or three stars, with a few four stars.

"It's really you!"

The speaker was a chubby-cheeked woman, whom Wang Xi recognized as a fellow student in the same year as him.

"Long time no see, Miss Ge Tian."

He smiled and nodded.

"Were you fighting the Cataclysmic Monster just now?!"

Ge Tian's face flushed red, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Wang Xi shrugged, his tone indifferent: "Besides me, there shouldn't be anyone else. Fortunately, the disaster core has been destroyed, and this disaster area will soon dissipate."

"You single-handedly solved the disaster zone that had just been created..."

Ge Tian clenched her fists, ignoring her companions beside her, her eyes filled with shock.

All the officers around looked surprised.

They naturally recognized Wang Xi, but felt that the rumors were too conservative.

"You're...too strong right now!"

Ge Tian finally managed to utter those words.

at this time--

hum!
In the center of the ruins, a seven-colored halo suddenly bloomed.

"It's the Disaster Zone card pool!" someone exclaimed.
