In the distance, Victor was running at full speed when he stumbled, a wave of energy slowly pulling away from his body. In his perception, reality and illusion blurred. His nine lives were reduced from nine to eight. Victor felt both frustrated and relieved...
Frustrated that his big boss had fallen, but relieved that Tang Haofei had not unleashed a devastating punch that could have collapsed the entire Australian continent.
Even though he had no idea how far he had escaped, Victor still couldn't guarantee that he could survive in the aftermath of Tang Haofei's attack.
Faceless, who was close by, sensed the sudden change in Victor's expression and understood what had happened. While lamenting why he did not have the same bloodline as Tang Haofei, he pondered over his big boss's intention to withdraw the two pets.
Perhaps he didn't want to provoke Tang Haofei face-to-face again—if they could resolve things peacefully, not only Wen Yu but even Wen Yu's spirit pets would prefer not to confront Tang Haofei directly. However, it seemed that the negotiations had broken down.
As Faceless thought this, he immediately sensed the contract power coming from behind him.
The power pulled at Faceless's body, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed Victor's form also becoming ethereal.
The power of the soul realm activated, and Wen Yu was gathering his spirit pets, preparing to withstand the wrath of the world's strongest being with all his might!
Wen Yu didn’t know what it felt like for Tang Haofei to be reborn, but his own first experience of "death and resurrection" was not all that bad.
After being struck hard in the head, Wen Yu naturally was knocked out by a single punch—just as he had estimated, when his arm was caught and there was less than two meters between them, even if Wen Yu's physical attributes were increased tenfold, it was impossible to withstand Tang Haofei's attack head-on.
Not to mention withstanding the attack, he couldn't even activate the soul battlefield.
When his headless corpse fell to the ground, Wen Yu's consciousness did not vanish; the pain flickered and then faded, as if his soul had left his body, observing everything from a third-person perspective.
"Let me go to Beijing and retrieve what I deserve! By the way, take down that ungrateful old dog..."
Hearing Tang Haofei's words, Wen Yu floated above his own corpse, watching Tang Haofei step over him, walking away step by step. Wen Yu was only trying to send a message to his spirit pets and soul creations while in a state of death.
Surprisingly, it actually worked...
In a strange perception, the five spirit pets he had sent out all returned to the soul realm space in succession. Meanwhile, the Dark Puppet and Nightmare, hidden in his chest and shadow, quietly left Wen Yu's corpse at his command, silently pursuing the direction where Tang Haofei was headed.
Then, Wen Yu's consciousness began to blur. He felt his body ahead gradually becoming indistinct. When the blur faded, his head had already regrown, and his body showed no wounds, as if he were merely sleeping. Then the pulling force came, and his drifting consciousness instantly returned to his body under the close connection between soul and flesh.
The Heaven-Covering Robe perfectly concealed the newly resumed heartbeat. Wen Yu lay on the ground slowly opening his eyes, seeing that Tang Haofei in the distance still showed no reaction, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If he were discovered while guarding the corpse, that would be disastrous. However, Victor's sixth-level skill had never been revealed in front of others. Neither Wen Yu nor the military could know the detailed effects of the Nine Lives, meaning Tang Haofei had no idea he possessed resurrection skills—perhaps even if he did, he wouldn't take them seriously.
The moment Wen Yu's consciousness returned to his body, he immediately prepared for battle.
Entering battle mode, he enhanced his little soul beast’s physical attributes by 5001 points—though it was barely useful, a little strength was better than none.
