However, the other side reacted quickly as well, immediately swinging the Wolf Tooth Mace-Spear upward to meet Sun Hang's Zhanmadao.
No clang of metal rang out. At the very instant the Zhanmadao and Wolf Tooth Mace-Spear were about to collide, the front end of the Zhanmadao liquefied without warning, wrapping around the mace-spear.
From the start, Sun Hang had never intended to clash with his opponent head-on—this whole set of object-type Anomalies could reinforce one another when gathered together, producing an effect where one plus one was greater than two. The best way to defeat them was to break them apart one by one.
Better to break one finger than injure ten. Sun Hang's tactics were simple: while his opponent was still unfamiliar with his abilities, exploit that information gap and devour the seemingly highly threatening Wolf Tooth Mace-Spear first.
If that move succeeded, the scales of victory would tilt heavily in Sun Hang's favor.
His opponent clearly had not expected Sun Hang to abruptly change tactics. Caught off guard, one-third of the Wolf Tooth Mace-Spear had already been swallowed by the Liquid Metal.
But at that very moment, scarlet flames suddenly ignited along the Wolf Tooth Mace-Spear, instantly vaporizing the Liquid Metal wrapped around it. Worse still, the flames spread down the Zhanmadao's hilt. Sun Hang had no choice but to let go and swiftly retreat to open up the distance.
Scorching air battered Sun Hang's face as he watched the entire Zhanmadao be completely vaporized. Strictly speaking, that blade already counted as an object-type Anomaly, yet it had been utterly destroyed in less than three seconds of contact with the opponent.
The road between Sun Hang and the Anomaly armor had completely melted, and the stench of heated asphalt filled the air.
Iron's boiling point was 2,750 degrees
