Clash

On the street.

Shen Heng slowly stopped and his gaze fell on the Bone Porcelain Puppet.

Aren't you coming out?

Originally, he wanted to see if he could lure out the Bone Porcelain Puppet so that Han Ling could launch another attack.

It now seems that this idea has to be abandoned.

However, that should be enough...

Shen Heng's gaze swept over the Bone Porcelain Puppet.

One could see that wounds, large and small, were scattered all over its body.

Many of these wounds were inflicted by Gu Lingxuan and the others during the earlier battles.

However, a significant portion of the damage was caused by Han Ling in a short period of time.

A martial artist specializing in ranged attacks, with an A-Class ability, possesses an attack power that is far beyond what can be easily withstood.

Shen Heng even believed that, given enough distance and a good view, Han Ling could handle the Bone Porcelain Puppet herself.

after all...

My wandering gaze settled on a large notch on the side of the Bone Porcelain Puppet's neck.

Because of this gap, the Bone Porcelain Puppet's fighting ability may have decreased significantly.

but...

As expected of Calamity Beast?

If Han Ling had shot him in the neck, he probably would have been dead on the spot, but the Bone Porcelain Puppet is still alive and kicking...

Shen Heng sighed inwardly, then stopped and continued walking forward.

Since we can't lure it out, we'll have to try a direct confrontation.

First, let's look at aspects like attack, defense, and speed...

"Buzz--"

A massive amount of Origin Power flowed rapidly through Shen Heng's body following the closed-loop changes.

His figure began to sway subtly and frequently.

The next moment, accompanied by a very low "bang", the dust in place was pushed outward, forming a clear ring of air.

Shen Heng's figure had completely disappeared from the spot.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

The sickening sounds of metal clashing and bones cracking echoed wildly through the streets!

Two streaks of light moved at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

A ghastly, ferocious white figure, brimming with inhuman rage;

A calm yet swift force, containing explosive power.

Each contact erupted with a deafening roar, like two prehistoric behemoths locked in a life-or-death struggle.

One terrifying shockwave after another emanated from them, spreading wildly outwards.

The ground was cracked, vehicles were flying, and gravel was flying everywhere...

Even the glass curtain walls of the tall buildings on both sides shattered in large pieces under the impact of the shock wave.

In the distance, Gu Lingxuan, who had been contemplating whether or not to go and provide support, froze completely in place.

Her pupils contracted sharply, her face drained of color, and all that remained was utter shock.

Before my eyes, it seemed as if I saw that boy from more than two years ago, whose face still held a touch of childishness.

Although I sensed at the time that the other person seemed to have a decent talent for cultivation, I never expected...

It's only been a little over two years, and the other party has already grown to this level.

More importantly...

Wasn't it said at the time that his ability was F-Class Hearing Enhancement?

Now...

Gu Lingxuan looked at the figure frantically colliding with the Bone Porcelain Puppet with some incomprehension.

Hearing Enhancement, an auxiliary ability.

What kind of ability would a human need to evolve to be able to go toe-to-toe with Near-S-Class Calamity Beast?

Hearing is the part of the ear.

Has the enhancement gone from targeting the ears to enhancing the entire body?

... Are you kidding me?!

"Clang--!"

The shockwave rippled outwards once again.

This time, neither figure retreated; they stood still and fought fiercely.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!..."

One after another, bone claws swept towards Shen Heng.

Shen Heng dodged using minimal movement.

At the same time, he raised his longsword and slashed at the bone claws again and again.

While defending against the Bone Porcelain Puppet's attacks, he silently felt the force rebounding from the longsword.

"Even though the Bone Porcelain Puppet has suffered many injuries, is it still stronger than me in terms of pure strength?"

"The only downside is that it's a bit slower than me."

Shen Heng summarized the various aspects of the Bone Porcelain Puppet that had been tested in the battle just now.

Suddenly, a voice rang in his mind.

"Foolish, you think you can fight head-on? I'll eat you up..."

The thought had barely formed in his mind when the Bone Porcelain Puppet's head suddenly slammed down towards Shen Heng.

Shen Heng raised his eyes and calmly glanced at the huge and eerie bone mask that had just begun to fall.

He pushed off with his foot, and his figure did not retreat in a straight line, but rather retreated rapidly along a precisely calculated diagonal trajectory.

Although she hadn't held out much hope for this move, the creature's reaction still exceeded the Bone Porcelain Puppet's expectations.

Without much thought, it suddenly raised its head and thrust its right paw high.

"Lower body... torn apart..."

"Weapon... grab it..."

"Crush... his head..."

One thought after another flooded into Shen Heng's mind.

One attack after another was neutralized by Shen Heng.

This is because there is not much difference in strength and speed between the two sides.

Therefore, with the aid of ability.

Anything that is not thought through will be dealt with and resolved by Shen Heng with instinctive reactions.

He can discern and respond to anything that has been thought through.

The battle continued, but the Bone Porcelain Puppet's movements became increasingly frantic.

Even the offensive thoughts that used to frequently appear in my mind began to slow down more and more.

Conversely, the sounds generated by the clashes between the two sides grew faster and faster.

Fighting without thinking, relying entirely on instinct, inherently implies a certain degree of speed increase.

The battlefield expanded outwards once again.

"Inspector Gu!"

A voice rang out beside Gu Lingxuan.

Gu Lingxuan then came to her senses, turned her head and looked around, only to see Qi Yue walking over from behind.

It's that one, the one that was pulled by a metal wire and was sent flying by the Bone Porcelain Puppet.

His clothes were covered in dust, and there was a small pool of blood on his chest.

"How are you doing?" Gu Lingxuan asked.

"Two ribs are broken, and the internal organs have suffered considerable damage, but otherwise he's alright," Qi Yue said, glancing at the two figures entangled in the distance.

"Is this... a Fifth Tier reinforcement?"

Gu Lingxuan was also looking in that direction, but her gaze lingered on one of the figures.

"No, it should only be Fourth Tier!"

Although Shen Heng's control over Origin Power has reached a very high level.

However, during battle, it is still inevitable that Origin Power will overflow uncontrollably.

From this, one can roughly perceive the meaning.

"Fourth Tier?" Qi Yue repeated, then asked, "What kind of ability is this, to be able to fight the Bone Porcelain Puppet to this extent?"

Gu Lingxuan gazed into the distance, opened her mouth, and slowly said:

"I don't know either..."
