[Supernatural Creature: Therand Dual-Blade Man.]

[Status: Growing.]

[Information Fragment One: There's a terrifying urban legend in the Divine Eagle Federation: A young man named Therand, with unusually long arms, became an excellent sewer repairman. But the dirty work made his wife despise him and his children distance themselves. Finally, because his wife cheated, he used two kitchen knives to hack her and their children to death. The enraged crowd lynched him and even cut open his mouth to vent their anger.]

[Information Fragment Two: The legend is, of course, false. But as one of the horrors exported by the Federation, the fear from people worldwide spawned a Transcendental monster. It has no other obsession besides killing.]

[Information Fragment Three: It possesses terrifying speed, immense strength, and ghostly blade skills. Its only weakness is...]

As the information fragments flowed through his eyes, Tang Qi quickly raised his head. A warm sensation flowed through his body, easing the pain within. His remaining strength quickly gathered, and Tang Qi raised his arms again.

Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

Bang

Roar~

The Tall Man with dual blades, who had just walked over a pile of corpses, had just revealed a ferocious grin with his mouth split to his ears. What greeted him was that exaggerated handgun again.

This time was slightly different from the last. The light bursting from the muzzle was no longer golden, but a deep blue rippling like water.

At the same time, a sound like a dragon's roar boomed into the Dual-Blade Man's ears.

Supernatural Power: Dragon's Might!

Buzz!

Even if it was just a "Pseudo" Dragon's Might, it still possessed the power it should.

Imperceptibly, its body paused for a moment.

Although it was an incredibly brief time, it was enough in that instant.

By the time it snapped out of it because the first bullet entered its brow, its ghostly speed was also greatly affected. Although its six arms swung simultaneously, it easily sliced all the remaining Sea Demon Bullets to pieces.

But the only bullet embedded in its brow had its attributes explode.

Curse Breaking!

Exorcism!

A large expanse of deep blue water ripples burst out, and holy power surged, beginning to break curses and dispel evil.

"No!"

Hiss~ Hiss hiss

The Dual-Blade Man screamed in agony. Its head was being corroded at a visible speed. No blood flowed out, only the skin and flesh becoming fragile and rotten. Its already ugly head looked like a completely rotten avocado.

The effect of one bullet quickly passed. It broke free from the pain. There was no longer any pleasure in playing with "cockroaches" in its eyes, completely replaced by killing intent. Its six arms seemed about to swing simultaneously in the next moment.

With its bizarre speed and terrifying strength, the "monsters" lurking in the shadows had no doubt that it would chop that poor human into meat paste.

Until the next moment, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.

Crack!

What was crushed?

Before he could ponder further, a figure of unparalleled beauty emerged behind Tang Qi. This was the shadow of a female creature. She had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish, blue hair, and gem-like eyes.

This image strongly resembled the legendary Siren, the one who could bring incredibly beautiful songs.

However, at this moment, she brought no beautiful song.

Hiss~ Ah

Sound waves, visible circles of sound waves, instantly echoed within the alley as the Siren opened her mouth and wailed.

As the initiator, Tang Qi was immune to the Siren's Wail.

But the other lives in the alley could not do the same.

The Dual-Blade Man's angry expression only lasted for half a second, and then it had to painfully squat down, trying to cover its ears. But after finding it useless, it could only stumble around like a headless fly. At this time, its terrifying strength and speed caused terrible destruction to the alley.

Fortunately, Tang Qi was subconsciously avoided because he was the source of the sound.

But other places were not so lucky. For example, the Lust Slave painter whose throat Tang Qi had already slit, his corpse was directly chopped into meat paste.

The Dual-Blade Man's Transcendental level was clearly not low. The effect attached to the Siren's Wail was confusion or death.

It fell into confusion, but it was impossible for it to die.

As the sound waves began to disappear, it was gradually regaining consciousness.

So at this moment, Tang Qi helped it.

He didn't use Blood Python No. 1, perhaps because of its special attributes, the Dual-Blade Man had too high a resistance to Transcendental firearms.

A strange excitement suddenly appeared on Tang Qi's face, a flush creeping up. He leaped up abruptly, like an angry lion, pouncing towards the Tall Dual-Blade Man. But as he got closer, Tang Qi's figure turned into a cunning hyena, avoiding the six swinging kitchen knife arms with an undignified but extremely practical posture.

Whoosh!

The two were soon in close combat.

"Chaga!"

Tang Qi roared. The Dual-Blade Man, still in the aftershock of confusion, subconsciously turned its head. Then it saw a pair of terrifying hands, forming a strange shape, fiercely grabbing into its rotten avocado-like head.

"Splurt~"

Juice splattered everywhere, and blood mixed with flesh even splashed onto Tang Qi's face. But at this moment, Tang Qi didn't even blink. He just stared with wide eyes and roared again, "Look into my eyes!"

"Buzz"

"Whoosh!"

The Dual-Blade Man's head, still sluggish from the lingering confusion, looked over again.

Then, it saw a world filled with endless golden flames.

Furnace Eyes!

Intimidation effect, triggered!

The Dual-Blade Man fell into a daze, completely unresponsive to Tang Qi's next move. Tang Qi was practically hanging onto its body, one hand reaching through the rotting flesh to grasp the already brittle skull inside, while the other hand quickly retracted, forming a fist. A faint golden light surged out.

Then, with a "boom," it exploded.

Another head burst open in front of Tang Qi.

Brain matter and blood mixed together and splattered. The tall, thin body fell, its six monstrous arms hanging limply, and the cleavers clattered to the ground.

In the Newton District, within the dark world, the newest and strongest Abnormality... just died?

It was, indeed, dead.

On the interface in Tang Qi's eyes, the moment its head exploded, its status bar changed to [Dead].

And in the eyes of the Abnormalities lurking in the shadows, a hazy Resentful Soul slowly rose from the corpse of the Therand Dual-Blade Man. It was the shadow of a tall, thin young man. Unlike the horror of its physical form, the only similarity was the madness in its eyes.

This was its Resentful Soul, the source of its Supernatural Power, the thing that could gather terrifying power.

The monsters in the darkness were utterly horrified by this scene.

Although the "Predation Order" that had just been established was very imperfect, the Therand Dual-Blade Man had temporarily held the top spot with its terrifying strength. Usually, when it set its sights on prey, other monsters would choose to retreat.

The monsters drawn by the Misfortune Magic never expected it to die here.

After the shock came endless excitement.

The strongest "Moth" was dead. Without deterrence and restraint, the other Moths would no longer care about anything else. They would choose to swarm forward and devour it.

Tang Qi felt the source of the malice, the thoughts of those monsters.

So at this moment, he let out a cold snort.

With a "rip" sound, a pair of hands covered in brain matter and blood were suddenly pulled out of the Dual-Blade Man's head. Then, under the horrified gaze of all the monsters, he fiercely grabbed the Resentful Soul that was about to dissipate.

"Boom~"

The moment the golden flames ignited, the Moths in the shadows lost their urge to fly into the fire. Instead, they scattered and fled in terror.
