Chapter 179

So, she calmly asked the person with superpowers, "Have you grown taller?"

She was a little curious, "Can you still grow taller after you become an adult?"

Superpowered Person: "..."

What nonsense are you spouting? Don't you know you're in deep trouble?

An unnamed fire flared up in the superhuman's chest, distorting his face even more. Behind the swirling smoke, he laughed in fury, his lips curling upwards like a demon.

"This game is over." He spoke in a muffled voice, as if trapped in a jar. "My patience has run out."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of his arms melted like wax, turning into a black, sticky mud. With a flick of his wrist, it unfolded into a huge, irregular mud blanket, thickly covering the ceiling and floor. Then, with a fierce roll, Ye Jiang instantly became prey with no way to escape!

Clang!

A row of silver fragments came hurtling through the air, attacking the mud carpet. A soft chuckle rang out, and the mud carpet suddenly split off, knocking all the fragments away. Then, it transformed into a thin rope that swiftly flew through the air towards the Mirror Woman in the distance. The Mirror Woman hurriedly shattered to avoid it.

Although she dodged the attack, a fleeting glance revealed the Healer completely encased in the mud blanket! Her face paled. The superhuman, on the other hand, wore a twisted smile.

In a corner of the mall, the young man watched this scene quietly, his eyes churning with murderous intent like magma, but it froze at the last second before bursting out, finally dissipating and sinking deep into his eyes.

He bent down and picked up a toy that had fallen over.

Behind him, a dozen or so toys stood silently in the broken shopping mall, the result of his efforts over the past ten minutes.

"Ha."

"Ha ha."

The superhuman let out a maniacal laugh, finally venting his anger.

The mud blanket enveloped its prey, rapidly deforming and tearing it apart.

The Mirror Woman was deathly pale. Under such a brutal attack, how could she possibly survive? The Healer wasn't like her, able to shatter!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The superhuman laughed loudly, relentlessly crushing the mud blanket, venting his pent-up frustration in each maniacal laugh.

The young man seemed not to hear, and bent down to pick up another toy, patting off the broken pieces.

Spiral --

With a soft, tearing sound, the superhuman seemed to sense something and froze. At the same time, the mud carpet exploded, scattering into fragments everywhere. A heavy sword appeared out of thin air, its blade covered with ancient patterns, black in color, steady and sharp.

A slender, pale hand gently gripped the hilt of the sword. The hand exerted no force, and the heavy sword hung naturally, its tip touching the ground.

Holding the sword

The woman was looking down at her feet when a clod of black mud landed on her foot. She stared at it, then slowly lifted her foot, and the mud slid off.

Clatter

The small noise startled the superpowered individuals and the Mirror Woman, who were stunned by the sound.

Mirror Woman:!!!

Superpowered Person:!!!

The young man in the distance:

His eyes were calm and composed, as if he had already guessed the outcome.

The superhuman was enraged. His arm trembled, and the black mud on the ground gathered as if it were alive, attaching itself to his arm. Then it swelled and bubbled like boiling water. The superhuman raised his hand high, and the black mud spread infinitely along the ceiling like an umbrella. After the black smoke, his face twisted and deformed, and his human eyes gradually blurred into smoke. Evil thoughts and overwhelming killing intent churned and churned.

The black mud had completely covered the mall's ceiling. The superhuman's shoulder muscles suddenly bulged, and a thunderous strike was about to be unleashed. At that moment, the person wielding the sword slightly raised her head.

A pair of blood-red eyes were revealed, dark and gloomy, like Blood Moon embedded in its eye socket.

Those eyes stared silently at the superhuman.

The superhuman suddenly froze, his massive body instantly standing still.

That look in his eyes...

In a distant memory, there was a pair of eyes that looked at him like a lump of mud, as if he were an insignificant ant.

No.

No, no, no!

He is no longer the same person he once was! Now he is...

The superhuman's eyes were fierce, and the overwhelming black mud boiled and churned.

However, behind the black smoke, a trace of cowardice was deeply hidden within the ruthlessness.

The superhuman's expression twisted in pain.

He clenched his fist.

Bang!

Mud droplets exploded everywhere, falling like rain and dissipating into black smoke upon hitting the ground. The dense mud droplets obscured the view, and the superhuman's figure vanished from sight.

Ye Jiang: "..."

Ye Jiang: "??"

Why did you leave so suddenly?

She had just thought that the superhuman was defiant of her teaching and wanted to teach her a lesson in return.

The mud was still falling with a clatter, but it didn't land on Ye Jiang. A black hole appeared above her head, swallowing all the filth. Mirror Woman wasn't so lucky; she was covered in black mud. Although she quickly shook it off, a layer of her skin was still stuck to it, making her look quite miserable.

Ignoring her injuries, the Mirror Woman lightly touched the ground and flew to Ye Jiang's side.

"Are you alright?!" she asked anxiously, her heart pounding wildly. She had no idea that her heart, even after being transformed into a mirror, could be so active!

It's a bit strange, but she seems to have a natural affinity for Healer.

She gave Ye Jiang a strange look.

Ye Jiang stared at the black hole, then looked down at the Mirror Woman, puzzled, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Mirror Woman: "..."

Okay, it's her understanding that's superficial.

She glanced at the greatsword in Ye Jiang's hand. Ye Jiang noticed her gaze and introduced it to her, "It's the Blood Knight's sword."

Although it was a replica created by her.

Blood Knight? What's that?

Just as Mirror Woman was about to ask, Rong Yin walked over and relayed her words, asking what Blood Knight was. Mirror Woman was speechless.

Ye Jiang was unaware of the subtle, secret competition between the Mirror Woman and the young man, and didn't answer. Instead, a thoughtful expression crossed her face. She asked the Mirror Woman what the superhuman had been doing with Mirror Woman before she arrived. The Mirror Woman trembled at the thought, gritting her teeth as she said, "That superhuman... he said I was 'material'."

This is clearly not a compliment, and it makes the person with superpowers seem rather dishonest.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiang raised her eyes and slowly looked upstairs.

upstairs.

The evacuation is still ongoing. The plant-covered walkways have been replaced with metal walkways, and most of the people on the first floor have been evacuated, finally making the area feel less crowded and cramped.

In a corner of the hall, the superhuman leaned against the wall, head bowed, teeth clenched and twisted, fingers forming claws that dug deep into the wall.

He... he actually backed down!

Just a look in his eyes that resembled one from his memory, and he actually backed down!

That Healer is suspicious; she's definitely not human.

But so what? To him, she was nothing more than an ant. A cold smile appeared in the superhuman's eyes. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't reveal too much of his true form right now...

Three hundred years ago, a madman appeared in the Monster Realm, causing rivers of blood to flow. He appeared briefly and then disappeared.

The superhuman knew some information: that madman was actually in the Surface World.

He is protecting the human world.

The superhuman's eyes turned cold; he didn't want to expose himself and be targeted by that madman for the time being.

"Hey! When did you get back!" A member of the Ability Control Bureau ran over. "Where did you go? I couldn't find you anywhere! You made Captain Yu yell at me! You almost delayed the retreat!"

The superhuman, barely containing his impatience, asked, "What do you want with me?"

The other party said, "We need you to build a passage. In the team, only He Qing (wood element) and you (earth element) are suitable for building passages. Fortunately, there's a metal element ability user who volunteered to help... Hey, Cheng Xin, where did you just go?"

Cheng Xin: "..."

His tone was enigmatic. "I'm an earth-type ability user?"

A member of the Ability Control Bureau nudged his shoulder. "Hey, that's enough! You're still trying to Healer? You're an earth-type ability user, and your physical abilities are exceptionally good, and your movement skills are indeed impressive, but compared to Healer, your speed is simply not up to par. Stop trying to imitate Healer and calling yourself a speed-type ability user! No, wait, the Healer has never said she's a speed-type ability user; it's just that people always misunderstand her as one..."

Cheng Xin: "..."

I see.

It turns out that the member of the Ability Control Bureau he transformed into wasn't a speed-type ability user. Before killing him, he overheard him telling someone that he was a speed-type ability user; it turned out he was just joking.

Cheng Xin straightened up. "Yes, I am an earth-type ability user!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several huge, menacing earth spikes shot out from under his feet, one of them pointing directly at the eye of the member of the Ability Control Bureau.

"?!" The members of the Ability Control Bureau leaned back, dodging the earth spikes. "Cheng Xin, are you crazy?!"

Cheng Xin didn't even look at him. Instead, he looked in another direction. At the end of his line of sight, Ye Jiang, Mirror Woman, and Rong Yin emerged from the cemetery and were looking at him.

Cheng Xin revealed a wicked smile, his gaze fixed solely on Ye Jiang, the woman who infuriated him, and said, word by word, "You're here? Too slow!"

He waited there, knowing she would come after him, but this time, he wouldn't run away!

Spikes sprouted up in bursts, surrounding Cheng Xin and enveloping him completely.

The civilians who hadn't yet evacuated looked over in confusion. The members of the Ability Control Bureau finally realized what was happening and their expressions hardened. "You're not Cheng Xin!"

Cheng Xin snorted coldly, completely ignoring the members of the Ability Control Bureau, showing disdain.

The soil spikes shattered, transforming into countless sharp earth arrows that all turned and aimed at Ye Jiang.

He only stared at Ye Jiang.

He originally accompanied the Ability Control Bureau to investigate the situation in the mall. Humans are better at searching, and he wanted to reap the benefits of the Ability Control Bureau's investigation.

But now, he can't care about that anymore.

He must now use this woman's flesh and blood, a crushing victory, to cover up his previous retreat—he absolutely must!

boom--

A volley of arrows!

Members of the Ability Control Bureau reached out to stop them, but only managed to stop a few earthen arrows. At that moment, he was the only member of the Ability Control Bureau on the first floor; the captain had gone upstairs. He was extremely anxious.
