199: Chapter 199 Encounter

High above in the sky, Andre wore a gloomy expression, mobilizing all his strength to fly at top speed.

He recognized the afro-haired man who had punched his head off; he had crossed paths with him several times, and the man's strength was not below his own.

Because he had taken a hit from the opponent completely unprepared, he had already exhausted most of his strength just to restore his body.

Plus, with two other people whose Special Abilities were quite troublesome, continuing to fight them at this time was undoubtedly a thankless task.

"But... going back with my tail between my legs like this is too frustrating..."

Andre felt resentful; after all, he had snuck out alone, bypassing the others, to snatch the credit.

As a result, not only was he injured, but returning empty-handed would certainly invite ridicule.

"I'll go to City C first and snatch that kid away!"

Andre's eyes flickered as he secretly made up his mind.

...

"Squelch."

The blade sliced through flesh with a dull, grating sound, and Lv Ling executed the last invading hero.

"This is the last one."

He panted heavily, his voice weary and raspy as he spoke slowly.

"It's about time you deactivated this Demon Possession state or whatever it is, right?"

Chen Moxuan stared intently at Lv Ling's current state, his brow furrowed.

Evil Qi permeated Lv Ling's body, growing increasingly dense.

His original compatibility with Asmodeus was only 63%.

To significantly expand the coverage of his Authority and extend its duration, Lv Ling had not hesitated to strike a deal with the lust demon Asmodeus, exchanging it for a short-term compatibility of 92%.

This method of forcibly increasing compatibility by deliberately pandering to the contract demon made it easier for the contract demon to influence the contractor.

At this moment, the lust demon Asmodeus was like a maggot in the bone, constantly eroding his body and mind, infinitely amplifying his primal instincts stemming from his flesh.

Rather than blocking, it is better to channel; Lv Ling chose to pour all his energy into the desire to kill, attempting to resist the erosion of his desires through this.

But now he was on the verge of his limit, as if standing on the edge of a cliff, at any moment ready to be completely swallowed by the desire to kill, thereby losing his last shred of sanity.

"Yeah, it's time to deactivate it."

Lv Ling nodded.

He had already delayed the time to pay the price; deactivating it now meant he would be unable to enter the Demon Possession state again or use his Authority until the payment was completed.

This was the reason why he had persisted until now.

But just now, the last hero who responded to the summons had been dealt with, and there were no Transcendent left participating in the Continental Carnival event.

Presumably, by now, the Hero Association's Command Center had also been firmly controlled by his companions.

The Continental Carnival event had no one left to host it, and no one would use various rules and human nature to force citizens to kill each other.

What remained to be done was nothing more than dealing with the remaining thugs from the Hunters faction.

And for this finishing work, relying on Chen Moxuan and the Mo Sect soldiers he had trained would be more than enough to handle it easily.

He should be able to rest for a while.

Seeing the hideous and terrifying armor on Lv Ling's body slowly transform into wisps of black Qi, all of which surged into the ring in his hand.

The oppressive feeling constantly surging in his heart suddenly dissipated, and Lv Ling felt a sense of relief; he felt his whole body lighten, and he let out a heavy sigh of relief, his expression returning to its usual tranquility.

Watching the layer of black light shield in the sky slowly fade away, Chen Moxuan also felt in a good mood.

He felt that the gloom that had been shrouding his heart ever since he encountered Wan Chaoren had dissipated.

The operation plan had proceeded very smoothly, and this crazy event, which was originally capable of paralyzing a city's functions, had been handled by them with minimal casualties.

He did not compromise due to insufficient strength.

Nor did he lose anything because of compromise.

Having traveled back and forth between the two worlds twice, and after more than ten days of tempering and growth, he now possessed the powerful strength sufficient to control his own destiny.

However, there was no rush to be sentimental right now.

Once Lv Ling's Authority was deactivated, those Transcendent Souls trapped within the corpses would dissipate, revealing the Special Ability light orbs hiding within them.

This was a full 150+ types of Special Abilities!

If he could analyze them all, perhaps it would allow his understanding of Special Abilities to reach a whole new height, and his strength would achieve a qualitative leap, advancing by leaps and bounds once again.

Chen Moxuan never hesitated when it came to such a great opportunity to improve his strength.

"It's just that, with such a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, I wonder if it can be completely suppressed..."

Chen Moxuan pondered secretly in his heart.

These Special Ability Laws used high-concentration Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi as a carrier.

It was just like high-pressure areas flowing toward low-pressure areas.

With such a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gushing out all at once, the escape force generated by the dispersion was enormous.

Chen Moxuan secretly mobilized his Mental Energy, preparing to use [ Reverse Orbit Shadow Trace ] at any moment to restrict the light orbs from escaping.

"Why is there such blinding light at this time?"

As the black shield dissipated, Chen Moxuan instinctively looked up, and a beam of white light pierced his eyes like a sharp blade, and it seemed to be getting closer.

Chen Moxuan's pupils constricted, and he immediately cast [ Reverse Orbit Shadow Trace ] to block the white light from descending.

The resistance generated by him using his full power to cast [ Reverse Orbit Shadow Trace ] to reverse the movement trajectory of matter was enough to control several A-rank Reinforcement Type heroes.

But at this moment, it had absolutely no effect in blocking that white light.

The moment his reversed airflow touched the white light, it seemed to disappear into thin air.

Without waiting for Lv Ling to react, Chen Moxuan's gaze turned sharp, and he kicked Lv Ling.

At the same time, Chen Moxuan also used the reaction force of that kick to propel his body like lightning, quickly retreating backward.

"Hahahaha, the gods are merciful! I didn't expect there to be so many ready-made, high-quality Souls here!"

Accompanied by a burst of extremely arrogant laughter, the white light struck like a meteorite, smashing heavily onto the spot where Chen Moxuan and Lv Ling had been standing earlier.

"As long as I absorb all of these, I won't be lacking anything!"
