The flesh was not large, only the size of a fingernail—compared to flesh, it looked more like the dead skin that peels off a human body.
However, something so unremarkable fell to the ground with a thud, as if a heavy object had dropped, and Wen Yu could even see that the solid ground of the void realm had been struck to create five deep pits.
Yes, five in total…
This also meant that Bai had shed five pieces of dead skin.
Well, it was a bit gross to say, but at this moment, Wen Yu felt no nausea at all; he simply watched as the dead skin in the deep pits kept squirming. After a moment, cold sweat suddenly dripped down his temple.
Because he saw that the five pieces of dead skin were squirming and changing, and before long, they had transformed into the appearance of Tang Haofei...
It was hard to describe what kind of messed-up feeling this was; at this moment, Wen Yu only felt discomfort. He swallowed hard, and then heard Bai, who was grinning widely, speak up.
"Do you remember the skills of the Baru demon beast?"
How could he not remember? This Baru demon beast avatar was something Wen Yu had given to Bai!
He never expected that what was once taken lightly would lead to such a huge mess today.
"But this isn’t over yet..." Bai said with a shake of his body...
One could see that, with dozens of pieces of skin fluttering down, before Wen Yu could even react, dozens of brand new Tang Haofei appeared right in front of him.
"So, it's not my turn to fight you yet; there are countless Tang Haofei between us… Now, the second round begins!"
As soon as the words fell, dozens of Tang Haofei erupted with lightning, instantly rushing towards Wen Yu!
...
Lightning flashed everywhere, forming an electric net that descended upon Wen Yu like a storm.
At this moment, Wen Yu felt an overwhelming pressure rising; the corners of his mouth tasted bitter, as if he didn’t know how to handle the current situation.
In the dimness, Wen Yu seemed to hear Bai's voice.
"You should feel honored!"
"This skill chain was meant for the sovereign, but what I didn’t expect was that, as the situation changed, this skill chain would end up being useless!"
"But thankfully… thankfully, there’s still you!"
Out of the corner of his eye, Wen Yu saw Bai shake his body again, and over a hundred pieces of flesh fell to the ground.
"You have to admit, Tang Haofei is a hero. When I tried to recruit him, he agreed to cooperate with me without hesitation. When things went south, he willingly sacrificed himself to achieve my five glories..."
"He had only one request!"
"To let me preserve the spark of humanity..."
"And I did not disappoint his trust... After everything was completed, humanity still existed, just in a different form."
Bai shamelessly recounted the past, completely unconcerned that Wen Yu was right in front of him. He smiled as he watched Wen Yu sink into the quagmire formed by the "Tang Haofeis" and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"It's just you… only you! Unable to see the situation clearly, unable to distinguish between good and bad, I just don’t understand, why don’t you just go die obediently?"
"Boom!"
In mid-air, the electric net forged by lightning exploded, and the Tang Haofeis were pushed away by the immense force, revealing Wen Yu's figure inside.
At this moment, the machine king armor shimmered, but one could vaguely see that the originally smooth armor had developed tiny cracks.
Faced with the encirclement of over a hundred Tang Haofei, Wen Yu indeed found himself in a precarious situation...
However, the notion of dying obediently was simply non-existent!
Wen Yu forced down the restless blood energy, eyes fixed on the Tang Haofei that were closing in again. At this moment, Wen Yu took a deep breath, and the heaven-sealing modification moved at will!
The target...
Was the incessantly chattering Bai in the distance!
However, the light belonging to the heaven-sealing modification sliced through the air, hitting Bai, but it passed straight through him. The feedback from the skill informed Wen Yu that this strike hadn’t hit its target.
