Wen Yu's threat made Bai shiver. He quickly closed his eyes and sent out his senses, carefully exploring everything within his body.
Then, he felt a strange energy rising from his face, rushing deep into his soul. However, before Bai could react, it automatically dissipated in the sea of consciousness.
Bai's heart sank…
Even though he didn't understand what Wen Yu had done to him, from Wen Yu's expression, it was clear that this energy was definitely not some all-encompassing immortal pill!
Knowing he had fallen for the trap, Bai silently cursed in his heart, but his face remained expressionless. He simply raised his hand, and with the surge of energy, a sword of lightning quickly coalesced in his palm!
“If someone is going to die, it’ll be you first!”
Bai once again mouthed the words, but in the face of Bai's deadly move, Wen Yu suddenly smiled.
“Goodbye…”
In the next second, Wen Yu's figure completely vanished from the spot!
Bai abruptly looked around, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn’t find any trace of Wen Yu!
...
Disengagement (race foundation level, active skill): Upon activation, instantly teleport to a previously set spatial coordinate, and this skill cannot be blocked by any sealing abilities!
In a hidden cave on Demon Palace Layer 721.
With a flash of white light, Wen Yu, clad in machine king armor, crashed to the ground headfirst. He lay there panting for a moment before he turned over and lay back on the ground.
Staring directly at the dark cave ceiling, after a while, Wen Yu suddenly burst into wild laughter!
In this battle, Wen Yu not only sacrificed Type One, but even the machine king armor was battered and broken. Even if it could be repaired, it would never regain its former power.
However, Wen Yu ultimately obtained the result he wanted.
Indeed, from the moment Bai devoured Tang Haofei, Wen Yu knew that Bai could never be his opponent in a head-on confrontation—this gap was even larger than that between Wen Yu and a normal peak level 10 professional, big enough for Wen Yu to abandon the hope of winning through combat!
Fortunately, the Heavenly Mechanism Mouse's heavenly mechanism lockdown provided Wen Yu with an opportunity to turn the tide.
Heavenly Mechanism Lockdown (race foundation level, active skill): After use, the subject will be cut off from the soul connection with any contracted creature, family, etc., for a period of one month to one year, permanently sealing the ability to contract with other life forms!
Note 1: This skill requires close physical contact to take effect.
Note 2: The cooldown time for this skill is ten years!
Wen Yu was well aware of the nature of contracts, and he had long since investigated the skill description of Five Glories. With the Eye of the Night, Wen Yu could confirm that Bai's Five Glories must belong to a type of contracted connection, and under the effect of the heavenly mechanism lockdown, the consequences for Bai were predictable.
Wen Yu did not need to directly eliminate Bai; he couldn’t, but once the heavenly mechanism lockdown began to take effect, Bai would inevitably face the most terrifying consequences—his entire combat capability would be nullified, and he could even be killed by a backlash from his contractors!
Thinking this, a satisfied smile appeared on Wen Yu's face. He rummaged through his Spatial Ring and took out the Heaven-Covering Robe to replace the machine king armor. Confirming that all his energy had been concealed, Wen Yu then took out his communicator and dialed Lin Haifeng.
“I didn’t fight; I ran away, but…”
After briefly describing the situation, Lin Haifeng quickly responded.
“Then I understand.”
...
As Wen Yu withdrew, Bai's expression immediately darkened.
He searched left and right, but he couldn’t find even a trace of Wen Yu!
He suddenly realized that Wen Yu had already prepared an escape route for himself. At this moment, Bai felt as if a thousand grass mud horses were galloping through his heart.
