By this time, night had completely fallen, and the darkness was thick and intense.
Wenwu sped off quickly, following the coordinates.
Shortly after, he locked onto his target from high in the air.
On the ground, a five-meter-tall heavy mech, its entire body wreathed in raging Hellfire, was speeding madly down the highway.
Behind him, a dense swarm of Ten Rings steel warriors and pursuing fighter jets fired in turn, causing him to tumble and roll away from time to time.
No matter how it was attacked, and how badly it was attacked, it just wouldn't die!
With a thought, Wenwu immediately activated his metal-based abilities, attempting to remotely imprison the mecha enveloped in Hellfire.
"It didn't work?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Wenwu's eyes, and his brows furrowed.
The Hellfire was imbued with a strange magical enchantment that directly negated his ability to manipulate metal, rendering his supernatural powers completely ineffective.
No longer relying on superpowers, Wenwu soared into the sky and swooped down, gathering and refining immense Spiritual Power in his palm, transforming it into a sharp longsword, which he fiercely slashed down at the charging mech!
Bang!
A loud bang exploded!
The heavy outer shell of the mecha was cleaved open, revealing the interior of the mecha.
Inside the cockpit was a skeletal figure engulfed in Hellfire —it was none other than Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze!
The entire mech was sent flying backward by the immense force.
Before the mecha could land, Wenwu instantly switched to his Uru form, flashed, and stomped down heavily, pressing the burning mecha into the ground.
boom!!
The terrifying shockwave spread wildly from the point of impact, causing the ground to collapse and crack instantly, and the giant mech was crushed and completely destroyed.
Something's not right!
Wenwu immediately leaped into the air and quickly disengaged from the wrecked mecha.
His eyes were filled with shock. "This Hellfire can actually burn my soul and spiritual power!"
Ordinary physical attacks and energy shocks cannot harm him in the slightest.
But this bizarre Hellfire could ignore his physical defenses and directly burn his soul.
Bang!
Amidst the ruins, a pair of skeletal hands, burning with Hellfire, tore apart the wrecked mech wreckage.
Ghost Rider slowly walked out, dressed in a tattered black leather suit, with long hellish chains wrapped around his shoulders, and a skull engulfed in flames, looking incredibly eerie.
Johnny Blaze.
Wenwu recognized the Ghost Rider instantly by looking at the other party's iconic appearance.
Johnny, a former stunt motorcycle racer, made a soul contract with Mephisto, the lord of hell, to save his adoptive father. He was bound to the Spirit of Vengeance Zarathos and gained the power to control Hellfire and judge evil.
"Your soul is stained with the blood of countless innocent people; your sins are grave. Accept my judgment!"
Ghost Rider's hollow, fiery eyes locked onto Wenwu, and his hoarse, deep voice rang out, carrying an absolute will of judgment.
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and swung the iron chain from his shoulder, which was wreathed in raging Hellfire, straight at Wenwu's face!
Wenwu's eyes flashed with golden light, his brain instantly entered an overclocked state, and all his Spiritual Power surged to his right hand, which he steadily reached out and grabbed the iron chain burning with Hellfire with his bare hands.
While gripping the chains tightly and refusing to budge despite the other's pulls, he used his Spiritual Power to meticulously analyze the energy rules of the Hellfire during the moment of contact, attempting to decipher this mysterious magical power.
Ghost Rider pulled on the chains with all his might, but no matter how hard he pulled, Wenwu remained as steady as a mountain and did not budge.
Unable to break free, Ghost Rider unleashed his power, charging straight at the enemy amidst a sky full of flames!
Look me straight in the eyes!
As Ghost Rider approached Wenwu, the skull's flames surged, Penance Stare activated at full power. "Feel the pain of all the dead, cleanse your sins!"
A terrifying power of soul judgment instantly enveloped Wenwu.
Wenwu immediately closed his eyes and refused to look into the Ghost Rider's eyes. At the same time, his soul burst forth with brilliant golden light, and the Spiritual Power within his body surged wildly, layer upon layer, resisting the invasion of the power of judgment.
At the same time, he unleashed a punch, unleashing a surge of powerful electricity and a terrifying shockwave that sent Ghost Rider flying dozens of meters away!
Upon landing, Wenwu's face turned slightly pale, and he felt a slight dizziness.
Even though he didn't look directly into the Penance Stare, his soul was still invaded by the strange power of judgment. In just a moment, his mental and Spiritual Power were rapidly depleted like flowing water.
"Is this the power of mystical divination? Truly unpredictable."
Wenwu was secretly amazed.
He could have easily crushed his opponent, but he wanted to personally test and analyze the power of Hellfire and Judgment.
Fortunately, his soul had undergone transformation and tempering, and his mental strength was extremely strong, allowing him to withstand the bizarre judgment attack without being caught off guard.
call out!
A sudden whooshing sound rang out.
Ghost Rider rolled to his feet from the ruins and swung his hellish chains once more.
The iron chain, originally three or four meters long, defied the laws of physics and stretched wildly, instantly growing to tens of meters in length. Like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, it shot forward with fierce flames!
Do you really think I have no temper?
Wenwu's eyes turned cold. He raised his hand and unleashed a thick bolt of electricity that struck the iron chain precisely, sending the entire fiery chain flying.
Immediately afterwards, he flicked his wrist, and a Ten Rings flew out through the air!
The golden halo burst forth with dazzling light, tearing through the night sky and slamming into Ghost Rider's skull at supersonic speed.
Bang!
A violent explosion occurred instantly!
Ghost Rider's head was blasted apart, and his headless body flew dozens of meters backward, carving a deep trench filled with Hellfire into the ground.
But the next second, Hellfire, and a brand new skull instantly regenerated.
Wenwu knew that the Ghost Rider possessed the characteristic of immortality, and ordinary forces could not kill him.
So, with a thought, the Ten Rings he sent out instantly grew to a meter in diameter, precisely ensnaring the Ghost Rider's body. Then, they rapidly contracted, tightly binding its arms and torso, completely locking it in motion.
"Roar--!!"
Ghost Rider's rage surged, and his entire body erupted with rampaging Hellfire, attempting to scorch and corrupt the Ten Rings that bound his body.
"Hmph, trying to corrupt my Ten Rings? Wishful thinking."
Wenwu snorted coldly, and the remaining nine Ten Rings flew out, layering and locking the Ghost Rider in place.
Then, an impenetrable golden energy barrier was formed, completely sealing off the Ghost Rider, preventing the raging Hellfire from penetrating even a fraction of its path.
That's all the skill he has.
Wenwu smiled coldly, intending to take it back to the laboratory to study the secrets of the Spirit of Vengeance and Hellfire.
Just then, in the pitch-black night, a blurry figure appeared out of thin air about five or six meters in front of Wenwu.
The elderly man was dressed in an elegant black British gentleman's suit, wearing a black top hat and holding an antique scepter. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with a gentle and refined demeanor.
"Please wait, Wenwu Xiantian."
The old man spoke up, gently calling out to Wenwu, who was about to leave.
Wenwu paused, his gaze suddenly sharpening as he stared intently at the newcomer.
"So you are Mephisto, the Lord of Hell?"
"I never imagined that anyone in the world would recognize me."
Mephisto smiled slightly, his tone calm and gentle, "That makes things much easier."
