The monster suddenly spoke in a sinister tone, whispering by the ear of the mad man, whom it shouldn't have been able to detect.

"Little guy, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The mad man was shocked, his movements freezing.

Then, with a loud BANG, all parts of the monster moved, tossing the mad man about and capturing him.

The mad man snapped back to reality, struggling. "No!..."

This can't be! He's a Domain Spirit; he doesn't have any physical form. Why could this monster capture him so easily, actually grabbing him in its hand!

Unfortunately, in such a rapidly changing battle, any misjudgment, however slight, could lead to tragedy.

Without a doubt, this tragedy was now befalling the mad man.

"TSK..."

"AHH!!..."

The mad man roared, feeling the monster's grip tighten. It was as if he had suddenly regained a physical body, subjected to immense pressure and a tearing force.

In the past, only he could torture others. But now, the tables had turned; it was his turn to be tormented by this creature.

Soon after, accompanied by another Fatal One Slash from Wang Zhan, he roared, "Fatal One Slash!!"

He wasn't trying to save the mad man, but to deliver a fatal blow to the monster while its movements were restricted. Thus, he swung his next slash without hesitation. His Essence Energy and mental energy were depleted by the brilliant strike, then gradually replenished by Pure Essence Pills and nourished by essence energy, allowing him to recover.

However, just as Wang Zhan's Fatal One Slash landed, a RUSTLING sound echoed through the domain, as if a sheet of paper had been utterly shredded. It transformed into countless paper scraps, drifting gently to the ground.

It turned out to be the mad man, his voice choked into silence, his entire spirit utterly immersed in agony! He had been forcefully torn apart by the monster before Wang Zhan, shredded into thousands upon thousands of pieces—a method even more brutal than the mad man's own.

At the same time, Wang Zhan rapidly retreated. As his mental energy emanated, he forcibly gathered the mad man's scattered spirit, returning it to the domain. Only then did he turn to look at the monster. He had severed all its limbs and sliced it in half, yet the monstrous power and eerie aura it exuded only intensified.

Wang Zhan's pupils constricted.

Because he saw it. The creature's body parts seemed to possess a sticky quality, autonomously rejoining and restoring themselves to their original state. This regenerative ability was even more powerful than the mad man's characteristics as a Domain Spirit.

So much so that Wang Zhan even wondered, Was this thing another Domain Spirit-like existence? How else could it achieve such a feat?!

Of course, he knew the original organization's experiments were far from perfect, undoubtedly carrying serious complications or loopholes. But clearly, this was another trait of immortality! Though it seemed to follow the same principle as the previous heart-regenerating Talent, this was more akin to rebirth from dismemberment, or a shattered mirror restored without a seam—utterly flawless.

Wang Zhan found this incredibly troublesome. He didn't even entertain the thought of pressing his advantage to strike while the enemy was vulnerable; instead, he frantically increased the distance between them. One could only imagine how powerful this bloodline talent was, aside from its bizarre appearance.

At this moment, the monster, even more frenzied than the mad man, once again descended into strange muttering. Its entire body, from top to bottom, exuded a frenzied aura, bearing not the slightest trace of a normal person's smell.

"KEKEKE! You almost killed me again! Don't you know I'm terrified of death? You've killed me twice now... twice... twice! If that's the case, why don't you just die already?!"

RUMBLE...

Before its words fully landed, an intense rumbling erupted beside Wang Zhan. He had no time to think. With a WHOOSH, two massive Essence Energy wings abruptly appeared on his back.

With another great WHOOSH, the wind howled as he shot straight up into the sky, narrowly dodging the fatal blow!

Looking back, he saw the spot where he had stood. A building had exploded, bricks tumbling down, leaving only a twisted mass of steel rebar. The place Wang Zhan had occupied moments before was now inexplicably destroyed by some unfathomable means of the monster.

Like a shadow!

"What in the world is this thing? Why is it so hard to deal with..." Wang Zhan muttered.

He was certain that the monster before him was truly the most troublesome opponent he had encountered since embarking on the path of martial arts. Its attributes made it nearly immortal, and its movements were exceedingly bizarre, leaving no trace. Although its main body seemed to be right in front of him, after the previous two exchanges, Wang Zhan had long since realized that this creature possessed a clone skill identical to his own. Moreover, its cloning technique was clearly more formidable than his—elusive and unpredictable.

Furthermore, this clone appeared so silently that if Wang Zhan hadn't possessed a powerful intuition that many Martial Artists lacked, he likely wouldn't have noticed it at all. Because, as long as there was a hazy shadow lurking in the darkness behind him, it could transform into the monster's clone! It was a tactic that was virtually impossible to defend against.

Therefore, Wang Zhan, having dodged an attack, looked intently at the creature and finally spoke, "You're truly formidable! In fact, among all the members of the original organization I've encountered, you are the most powerful."

Behind him, Wang Zhan's Bat Wings continued to beat.

The monster, however, suddenly cackled maliciously. "That's only because they were too weak, KEKEKE! Besides, how many more times can you use that Fatal One Slash of yours? Why don't you just come down obediently and let me kill you? I'll take you back to the organization, how about that?"

Wang Zhan burst into laughter. In the past, his Fatal One Slash might indeed have had limited utility. After all, he was the first man who dared claim to be faster than Qin Ying. But unfortunately for his opponent, ever since his breakthrough, the limitations of his Fatal One Slash had completely vanished. The current him could keep slashing until this creature was deader than dead!

"However... shall we make a bet?" Wang Zhan suddenly proposed, his gaze profound. "If I actually manage to kill you, how about you come and work for me?"

Unexpectedly, the monster also laughed wildly and contemptuously. "Do you think I'm a loser like that Domain Spirit of yours? You want to kill me? KEKEKE! Then give it everything you've got! If you don't end up dragging yourself to death, I might consider grafting a part of you onto myself..."

There was no time for Wang Zhan to feel disgusted.

Suddenly, a tremendous ROAR surged from below, kicking up a vast cloud of dust and smoke. Immediately, Wang Zhan saw a figure rushing towards him, its momentum overwhelming and impossible to anticipate.

Undoubtedly, it was the monster, and it was its main body!

But this monster had no idea that Wang Zhan had lured it into the sky precisely to probe its true capabilities. Wang Zhan's earlier retreats had made it arrogant, causing it to forget...

The battle was just beginning!

"So... come on then!" A strange arc lifted the corners of Wang Zhan's mouth.

Subsequently, his Bat Martial Skill flowed with even greater ease as he weaved left and right, seemingly focused only on evasion. However, no matter how much Wang Zhan appeared to be dodging, the Liyun Blade in his hand was not to be trifled with.

And so, with a thunderous shout, the gleam of his blade suddenly soared skyward. "Fatal! One Slash!!"

SLASH!

The blade bit deeply into the monster's body, and Wang Zhan found himself pressed face-to-face against it. It seemed the previous lesson was about to repeat itself.

But the next moment, with a surge of Wang Zhan's True Essence...

RUMBLE...

Instantly, from the point of the blade's entry, a series of deep rumbles resonated, as if linked together.

This was precisely the opening Wang Zhan had intentionally created!

So you think your ability to regenerate from dismemberment is so powerful? Wang Zhan thought. I refuse to believe that once I inflict enormous damage on this monster's body, it can still reassemble itself unharmed.

As for how to inflict devastating damage? What could be more potent? After executing the Fatal One Slash and deeply penetrating the enemy's body, he would swiftly disrupt his True Essence. Then, he'd use its violent surge to inflict massive internal damage to the enemy's muscles and tissues.

Therefore, without a doubt, the mad man's gaze went vacant for a moment. Because Wang Zhan had found its loophole in such a short time.

One should know, a clean wound might be reconnected by the mucus from both parts, but what if the wound was jagged and uneven?

But to the monster's surprise, Wang Zhan, despite landing a successful blow, didn't press his advantage. Instead, he once again retreated rapidly, dodging a fierce gust of wind at his previous position and a shadowy assassination attempt from behind that still moved with uncanny silence, creating no ripples.

Wang Zhan grinned. "Well? How do you like the gift I sent you? If you like it, I can send a few more."

The monster was enraged. "You're seeking death!!..."

It had almost been careless. Wang Zhan's Saber technique had nearly caused it to suffer an unexpected setback. Because just a moment ago, Wang Zhan had genuinely damaged one of its glands.

As a pieced-together monster, it was incomparably powerful. But the more complete and complex a body, the more crucial and indispensable every single internal gland became. Unfortunately, these glands weren't as vital as the heart, so they constituted minor loopholes, easily overlooked. But loopholes, however small, could still inflict real damage; this was an unavoidable defect.

In layman's terms, "Many ants can kill an elephant, and persistent dripping wears away stone."
