In a surge of excitement, Faceless didn't even care about battle techniques. He simply floated in mid-air, his body flickering with black and white light, which quickly fused and transformed into chaos power. This chaos power crystallized into swords, raining down on the two demonic creatures below.
With absolute strength suppressing them, what need was there for battle techniques?
The threads of the human model swirled in the air, these extremely thin threads carried unparalleled sharpness, slicing through space and swiftly approaching Faceless, but all of them foundered at Faceless's front—they couldn't even penetrate his protective energy! As for the Black Cloth Monster, it could only keep using spatial power to divert Faceless's attacks; as for counterattacks, that was out of the question!
And what about Leogua? From the very start of the battle, he was easily crushed into meat paste by Faceless.
Despite being at a disadvantage, the Black Cloth Monster and the human model showed no sign of retreat. They were merely responding to Faceless's attacks while quietly communicating through sound transmission.
"Has the intelligence been sent out?"
"Of course, but this guy is quite arrogant. Should we apply a bit more force?"
The two hadn't used their full strength, as if waiting for a certain opportunity.
"No need to expend too much energy here, when Ross arrives, let’s see how arrogant he can be!"
The name Ross seemed to grant the two immense confidence, but there was one thing that puzzled them...
Wasn’t it said that the enemy was proficient in soul system skills? Why hadn’t they seen any traces of soul skills for such a long time?
There was a discrepancy in the intelligence—they had no idea about Faceless's existence.
This coincided with Wen Yu's thoughts—Faceless had indeed attracted the entire attention of the Demon Palace Security Bureau, which also gave Wen Yu more time.
He was beginning to understand the experiences of the Lord of the Jiang Family and the secrets of the spirit of the demon lord.
...
Information flowed quickly into his body and then surged into his brain. In a daze, the images before Wen Yu began to change.
Everything felt familiar.
Once, during his time in the Heavenly Palace, the memory images of the Heavenly Dao functioned similarly; it was like watching a movie, and Wen Yu just needed to sit still and watch in peace.
The first scene that appeared was the rebirth of the Lord of the Jiang Family...
Born into a somewhat wealthy family in the Demon Realm, his mother was an ordinary black-skinned demon creature, sustaining the family through farming—yes, having land to cultivate meant he belonged to the Demon Realm's bourgeoisie. His father's status wasn't bad either, working in the demonic clan military department as a personal guard for a certain general.
These memories were quickly flipped through by Wen Yu, from birth to childhood and then to young adulthood; there was nothing particularly noteworthy until the memories reached the early adulthood of the Lord of the Jiang Family, when things began to slow down.
Because war had begun.
As the largest population clan among the demonic clan, the black-skinned demon creature tribe was undoubtedly a major force in any invasion war. With the conscription order issued, even with the Lord of the Jiang Family's father's status, he could only ensure that two out of ten of his family stayed in the Demon Realm, while the rest had to head to the battlefield.
Just coming of age and yet to start a family, the Lord of the Jiang Family, along with his 98 siblings, shouldered a worn-out machete and walked into the Demon Realm Gate.
At that time, the Lord of the Jiang Family was only at level three.
...
The first invasion war the Lord of the Jiang Family participated in occurred in a world called Ancient Hope Aklis; he had long forgotten the specific translation of its name, but the only thing he could remember was the brutality of the war.
Just like everything that happened on Earth, the first round of invasion war had a level five limit, and the Lord of the Jiang Family was mixed in with the demonic clan army, surging towards the natives of this world like a swarm of insects.
