Chapter 185
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
The corpses of the anomalies were scattered all over, filling the air with a strong smell of blood.
The blood-red waterspout, enveloping countless anomaly corpses, could no longer maintain its shape. With a crash, it fell from the sky to the ground, washing the earth in a sea of blood-red.
In the blink of an eye, the paradise turned into a city of red.
The heavy rain continued to pour down, finally falling unimpeded to the ground this time.
Lou Yan, soaked in the rain, with black hair sticking wetly to his pale face, pulled a bone spike heavily from an anomaly’s body, then looked towards the other anomalies with labored breath.
The next anomaly targeted by his gaze showed a mixture of fear and hatred but involuntarily took two steps back.
Lou Yan wiped the blood from his face, his eyes bloodshot, emanating a crazed and sinister aura. He licked his lips, stained with the blood of various anomalies, frighteningly crimson.
After being tempered by blood and corpses, Lou Yan’s momentum soared, like a sword thirsty for blood, his aura thick with killing intent. But beneath this dangerous surface, Lou Yan could feel a burning sensation in his lungs with each step.
There were still quite a few anomalies dead, only about a third of their original number remained. These remaining anomalies stared at Lou Yan fiercely, but none dared to take the lead and approach.
No wonder, the scene of Lou Yan’s recent frenzied slaughter of anomalies deeply shocked them. Lou Yan, in his current state, seemed even more like an anomaly than the anomalies themselves!
Lou Yan looked at the hesitant anomalies, amused by their cowardice.
These anomalies knew fear too?
Cough…
Lou Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, his throat filled with the taste of blood, his heart pounding loudly.
He glanced at the puddles on the ground, seeing his current reflection. The black-haired youth looked less human and more anomaly, with bone spikes extending from his shoulders to his hands, and his exposed skin covered in black scales. Besides the physical exhaustion and discomfort, Lou Yan also felt his eyes burning.
Because he had been using [True Sight] to see through the anomalies’ hearts, his eyes had reached their limit. Something seemed to be stirring inside his eyes, wanting to burst out. If he continued to use [True Sight], the anomaly’s power would likely cause a terrifying mutation in his eyes.
Lou Yan raised his head, looking at the still sky, knowing that Fu Xuezhou had not yet killed the Anomaly Lord.
Useless, Fu Xuezhou.
How long has it been already?
Lou Yan sighed helplessly, touched his burning eyes, and returned them to their normal state.
His eyes were dry, with a soreness from overuse. Lou Yan blinked, trying to clear the blurriness from his vision.
Perhaps noticing his sudden stop, an anomaly with three eyes and a body bent into a “U” shape quietly approached Lou Yan from behind. Just as its hands were about to touch Lou Yan’s leg, Lou Yan suddenly turned his head and gave it a sinister smile. The next moment, the anomaly was pierced through the heart by one of his bone spikes.
This was the most effortless way Lou Yan had found to kill the anomalies. It didn’t waste his energy like punching and kicking, nor was it as strenuous as whipping. With enough speed, Lou Yan could kill several anomalies in a second.
The bone spikes on his body had turned red.
After tossing aside the corpses of the anomalies, Lou Yan walked calmly towards the group of anomalies. The anomaly group began to stir, and soon, an elegantly dressed woman emerged from the group of anomalies, tears in her eyes as she looked at Lou Yan. “Little Yan, are you going to kill Mom?”
This person was Lou Yan’s mother.
Lou Yan paused, looking at Mother Lou with an inscrutable expression. “Mom…”
Mother Lou slowly approached Lou Yan, her steps faltering, her face covered in dust and bloodstains, pleadingly looking at Lou Yan. “Little Yan, please, won’t you stay here with Mom forever in paradise?”
“Begging me?” Lou Yan stood still, and when Mother Lou approached him, he suddenly smiled. “But you’re not my real mom.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bone spike in Lou Yan’s hand pierced through Mother Lou’s chest.
Mother Lou coughed up blood, not expecting Lou Yan to mercilessly kill her. She stared at Lou Yan with resentment and despair.
Lou Yan lowered his head, watching Mother Lou lose her breath, watching the familiar face slowly turn pale. He couldn’t describe his feelings at the moment, kicking away another anomaly that pounced on him, Lou Yan carefully laid down Mother Lou’s body, then gently closed her unseeing eyes.
He did all this not for this anomaly, but simply for the face of this anomaly.
—-But Lou Yan could only do so much.
Lou Yan stood up, walking expressionlessly towards the group of anomalies.
But suddenly, the drizzle stopped, and the gloomy black clouds suddenly parted, allowing a beam of light to shine down on Lou Yan and the group of anomalies.
Could it be?!
Lou Yan’s pupils dilated, looking up at the sky suddenly, only to see a distorted, gigantic anomaly with countless tentacles, like a tumor, descending straight towards him from high above. The anomaly’s tentacles stretched out like sharp arrows, reaching Lou Yan’s front in an instant, intending to sweep Lou Yan away.
Fu Xuezhou’s figure appeared behind the anomaly, his body covered in blood, desperately flapping his wings trying to catch up to the Anomaly Lord, roaring in extreme anger, “Lou Yan, run!!!”
D*mn it! D*mn it!!!
The Anomaly Lord actually dared to make a move against Lou Yan!
Lou Yan looked up at the increasingly thick tentacles coming from the sky, his expression unusually calm. He seemed as if he had anticipated where the Anomaly Lord’s tentacles would land, calmly and skillfully taking five steps back to evade one of the Anomaly Lord’s tentacles, then immediately changing position to dodge the other two tentacles.
The ground was smashed into pieces by the Anomaly Lord’s tentacles, and Lou Yan’s face visibly reddened at the sight. Ignoring the high temperature on his body, he looked up at the confrontation between Fu Xuezhou and the Anomaly Lord with a cold expression.
The Anomaly Lord’s first strike failed to sweep Lou Yan away, and the next moment, Fu Xuezhou caught up to it. Fu Xuezhou coldly eyed the Anomaly Lord, who had been repeatedly wounded by him but had not yet died, then suddenly raised his hand and violently pulled out the three pairs of arms behind him.
As the arms were pulled out, blood sprayed everywhere, but Fu Xuezhou seemed to feel no pain as he expressionlessly threw the arms aside. The black slime on his body followed closely, instantly enveloping the three pairs of arms.
The three pairs of arms and the black slime began to twist violently, and soon, they divided into three equal parts. The black slime slowly turned into humanoid bodies, with arms inserted on both sides of the slime. In the blink of an eye, these three portions of slime and arms turned into “people” resembling Fu Xuezhou’s figure.
Except for being entirely black, they looked identical to the real Fu Xuezhou, even mimicking his waist-length silver hair with black liquid of the same length.
The three “Fu Xuezhous” surrounded the Anomaly Lord, guarding the east, west, south, and north directions respectively. The Anomaly Lord was quite wary of these fake “Fu Xuezhous,” constantly circling to guard against sudden attacks, and muttering incomprehensible gibberish.
Hearing the gibberish, the other anomalies became extremely restless, clamoring to run over and help the Anomaly Lord.
Fu Xuezhou sneered and, together with the other three “selves,” swiftly attacked the Anomaly Lord.
Lou Yan’s brain throbbed from the impact of the Anomaly Lord’s gibberish, and he bit his tongue hard, the pain making his mind completely clear.
Lou Yan took a deep breath, quickly intercepting other anomalies trying to cause trouble. Fortunately, he was now in a semi-anomaly state, so he could withstand mental contamination within a certain range.
After dealing with the other anomalies, Lou Yan occasionally looked up at the battle between Fu Xuezhou and the Anomaly Lord, furrowing his brows unconsciously, feeling that something was off.
Fu Xuezhou was so powerful that he could kill the Anomaly Lord in the amusement park with a single blow. With nearly three hundred reincarnations’ worth of experience and having devoured countless anomalies, Fu Xuezhou was undoubtedly the current world’s strongest combat force. Even against the Anomaly Lord, Lou Yan didn’t think it could surpass Fu Xuezhou.
Indeed, watching Fu Xuezhou and the Anomaly Lord fighting, Fu Xuezhou completely dominated the battle. The Anomaly Lord’s body had been pierced countless times by him, but Fu Xuezhou still hadn’t found the Anomaly Lord’s heart.
The Anomaly Lord could quickly recover from any injury, but Fu Xuezhou was a human, and his mental power would eventually be depleted. If they didn’t quickly kill the Anomaly Lord, their situation would only become more difficult.
The Anomaly Lord’s heart… The Anomaly Lord’s heart…
Lou Yan glanced at the ground that had been smashed into pieces by the Anomaly Lord’s tentacles, suddenly realizing something, he quickly ran over and dug up some soil from deep underground.
The soil was more than a meter deep underground, dark in color and slightly moist to the touch. Lou Yan sniffed the soil, detecting a strong earthy smell.
He picked up some soil with his fingers and tentatively tasted it, not the taste of gravelly soil, but a sensation of… rotting flesh.
Lou Yan suddenly threw down the soil and stood up, shouting at Fu Xuezhou, “Fu Xuezhou!!!”
Without hesitation, Fu Xuezhou flew down from the sky to Lou Yan’s side, his crimson eyes deep, and asked heavily, “What’s wrong?”
Lou Yan didn’t say a word, climbing onto Fu Xuezhou’s back, excitedly saying, “Quick, I know where the Anomaly Lord’s heart is! It’s underground in the Victory Factory! Paradise is the true form of the Anomaly Lord, and this city is it!”
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuezhou immediately flew towards the Victory Factory with Lou Yan.
The Anomaly Lord in the sky let out an angry and eager roar, smashing through the three blocking black “Fu Xuezhous” and quickly chasing after Fu Xuezhou and Lou Yan!
“Eh, mm, ah, ah.”
The Anomaly Lord’s cries echoed throughout the entire paradise.
All the anomalies still alive in the paradise ran madly towards the Victory Factory.
