Chapter 338.
For these reasons, Hu Liena could now be considered closest to the Starlight Fox. After all, the Starlight Fox had accompanied her for a year in the Slaughter City, relieving and helping her mental burden day after day. Anyone would develop a bond in such circumstances.
All these factors combined gave Hu Liena the desire to resurrect the Starlight Fox and truly awaken it. But for now, it remained just an idea—a dream that seemed far off.
At that moment, she swung her short blade, the silver weapon flashing through the air. In an instant, several of the burly men surrounding her erupted in blood as the blade cut them down on the spot.
The brief but intense battle left Hu Liena's cheeks lightly spattered with blood. The contrast of crimson against her pale skin added a striking beauty to her already fierce appearance.
But just then—
A sudden sense of extreme danger surged through Hu Liena's heart!
She saw the faceless man in white gently float upward—just float, seemingly defying gravity!
It was bizarre!
In the next moment, several sharp blades whistled through the air, slicing through the void and heading straight for Hu Liena!
"What kind of ability is this?" Hu Liena thought, stunned.
Killing people with weapons at a distance? That's truly astonishing!
"So fast!" Tang San's expression tightened in shock.
He had never seen anything like this before! In his previous life, Tang San knew that some martial arts masters could pick leaves or flowers and use them to harm people. Some with exceptional skills could even wield rudimentary telekinesis to control weapons midair. Experts who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts could defend against enemies using such techniques.
But this was on another level!
Even with his Mysterious Jade Hand, when mastered to the highest level, Tang San could only achieve a faint imitation of this technique. It required a combination of profound strength and intricate hand movements. Yet, here was this faceless man in white, was effortlessly manipulating several blades to attack Hu Liena at a terrifying speed.
There wasn't even a hint of soul power fluctuation!
He hadn't moved at all!
"Is this purely done using mental energy?" Tang San thought, his mind reeling. In his past life, this technique could only be performed when someone had reached the innate martial state, a level where they could concentrate their internal energies to control objects remotely.
Tang San had always prided himself on having mental power comparable to a Soul Douluo realm soul master. But to wield a spiritual power like this? That was another matter entirely.
In theory, it could be done with the help of Tang Sect martial arts, but not with this level of speed and precision!
Hu Liena instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was too late. Seeing this type of attack for the first time, her reaction was just a fraction too slow.
The sharp blades whizzed past her face, the wind from their movement slicing through the air and cutting off a few strands of her floating hair!
"Ahhh!"
A scream erupted behind her.
Hu Liena snapped back to reality and turned around, only to see the big bald man—the same one who had laughed disdainfully at Wang Feng earlier—charging toward her like a phantom. In a split second, the sharp blades shredded through his body, tearing him apart like a slaughtered pig.
Blood sprayed everywhere as the man's body collapsed onto the ground in pieces, painting the street in a gruesome display.
The sight was utterly horrifying.
Those blades were like hidden killing machines, their lethality was simply astonishing!
Hu Liena let out a breath of relief, realizing that the faceless man had actually been targeting the bald man who had tried to sneak attack her and not actually her!
Because of the angle and suddenness of the attack, she had the illusion that he was going to attack her instead.
The big bald man, the same one who had shown murderous intent earlier, lay dead on the ground.
The blades returned to Wang Feng's side without a trace of blood on them and quickly disappeared.
In an instant, silence fell over the scene.
The black-gauze girl standing beside Tang San stared at Wang Feng in disbelief.
This is too powerful!
How could a man who had achieved ten victories in the Hell Killing Fields be killed so effortlessly by this faceless man—without him even moving?
Recalling her earlier words, the black-gauze girl couldn't help but feel as if she had been thoroughly humiliated. With strength like his, he truly had the right to make such bold claims.
The Slaughter City was a place where strength mattered above all, not the length of your stay. Occasionally, a few newcomers stood out as exceptional individuals.
"This 9527… He's not ordinary at all," the black-gauze girl murmured. "He'll become a force to be reckoned with in the Slaughter City with that kind of strength. You should follow him…"
Tang San: "???"
Didn't you just say he was an example of a past lesson?
How did you change your stance so quickly?
Tang San was speechless for a moment, but he also understood that the faceless man's strength was truly exceptional, specially his method of attacking from far!
Moreover, Tang San had a suspicion that the newcomer before him was the same person who had massacred those powerful soul masters at the tavern with overwhelming attack methods. Even the hundred black-armored warriors following behind seemed to be under his command.
Tang San had observed everything closely, and naturally knew what happened next.
Wait… the mask, the white robe… could it be? And this familiar attack technique… is it… Brother Feng?
Tang San was stunned!
Brother Feng had always enjoyed disguising himself with masks and robes, using various identities to hide who he was.
As far as Tang San knew, he had gone by names like Thanos, Thor, Captain Murica, and Jiu Yikai…
Even though these names were odd, very odd to be honest. Brother Feng had a habit of taking on different personas.
Tang San looked at the pile of rubble nearby. Though it looked a bit unsettling, he couldn't help but frown slightly. When brother Feng used his soul bone during transformations, his technique resembled the faceless man's—albeit with some differences. The faceless man's method of attack was more refined and lacked the toxins brother Feng soul bone is usually incorporated with.
Tang San vividly remembered the time he was ambushed on his way to Soul City. At that time, Jiu Yikai who was brother Feng, used his soul bones in combat. His attacks carried a violent, corrosive poison that would turn any victim into a puddle of corpse water upon contact.
"No… it can't possibly be brother Feng…" Tang San shook his head. The faceless man's attack has no toxins, and his technique of controlling weapons with spiritual power is also mysterious unlike brother Feng, even if there are some similarities.
After carefully considering it, Tang San dismissed the idea.
Besides, if brother Feng were still alive, why would he come to the Slaughter City?
Tang San glanced cautiously at the faceless man in white, wary but uncertain.
At this moment, Hu Liena, having quickly gathered herself after the bald man's death, approached Wang Feng. She hesitated, then spoke softly:
"Thank you. You must be new here, right? I was wondering if I could…"
"No. Leave."
"…"
Hu Liena was stunned. Even though the faceless man hadn't intended to protect her, he had indirectly helped by killing the bald man who had attacked her. Was it really so wrong to show some gratitude?
Would it hurt to be courteous, at least?
She was even planning to introduce herself out of courtesy. But now—
"Are you crazy? What are you thanking me for?" the faceless man interrupted coldly.
Hu Liena: "…"
Without another word, the faceless man turned and walked toward the Hell Killing Fields, which loomed not far ahead.
