Chapter 485: Chapter 377 Battle!

"Are you a strong man of this world?" the man asked.

Wu Xiaode’s face showed disdain.

——The key to this magic lies in not speaking falsehoods.

From what had just happened, it was clear that choosing to lie had given birth to a reptile.

Therefore, lying would subject one to control by the other party.

Telling the truth would mean either fighting with the other’s reptilian minions or fighting the person himself.

The fate of the young man had proven this.

So, tell the truth!

That was basically it, but just to be cautious——

Wu Xiaode wasn’t willing to walk into the other’s trap.

"A strong man? Who calls themselves that, that’s just thick-skinned!"

He replied with a smile.

The man listened, his face showing a peculiar expression, then suddenly laughed:

"No need to be modest. Seeing the fluctuations of Soul Power in you, you must indeed be a strong man of this world, right?"

Wu Xiaode continued, "Oh, I am embarrassed. I only have this little strength, just randomly muddling through the martial world, I dare not be arrogant."

"You must be a strong man."

"Not at all."

"You admit it then?"

"I truly do not deserve such an honor."

"You are indeed."

"Not at all, such a title would make me blush."

"..."

The two were at an impasse, going back and forth several rounds, unable to continue any further.

The surroundings gradually fell silent.

Menace filled the man’s face as he whispered:

"Modest your mother."

His own magic required the opponent to be caught between "truth and falsehood" to complete one round of judgment before moving to the next step.

But this brat had played the humble card.

Humility, no matter the standard of magic used to judge it, could not be discerned as true or false.

Because the true attribute of humility is "evasion."

——He had avoided his word spell magic’s judgment!

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaode did not get angry; he only took a step at a time towards the other man.

"Want to fight?"

He asked.

The man grinned and said softly:

"The fate of all things is predestined; you are not worthy to face me."

Suddenly, a terrifying scream came from within the walls.

——That woman who had just transformed into a reptile must have been seen by others.

"I’m going up," Wu Xiaode said.

"Be careful," Xia Huilan said.

Wu Xiaode transformed into a fleeting shadow, instantly crossing the street, and aimed a punch straight at the man’s nose.

Thud.

The air made a faint sound.

The man stood unmoving.

The fist was stopped inches from his face by an invisible force.

Wu Xiaode’s pupils widened.

——That invisible force gradually materialized.

It was a human head.

The head of the young man from moments ago!

The head, firmly withstanding Wu Xiaode’s fist, moaned, "You are not worthy to face my master..."

Unconvinced, Wu Xiaode turned his fist into an elbow, thrusting directly at the other’s throat.

It was still blocked by the air.

——Another head appeared.

The corners of the man’s mouth twitched slightly as he spoke indifferently, "Now there are two heads, and soon it will become even stronger. How long can you hold out?"

Wu Xiaode drew out the Desert Sword.

The sword also struck into the Void, caught by a third head, unable to advance even a fraction of an inch.

"I told you, you are not worthy to face me," the man said calmly.

Wu Xiaode held the sword with both hands, forcefully slashing into the Void above his head.

The sword.

Could not be forced down.

More heads surged forward, their mouths opening wide and biting onto the sword’s edge.

"This doesn’t make sense," Wu Xiaode said.

A demon could transform a human into a reptile.

But these heads?

Could they be——

Wu Xiaode’s expression turned stern.

In the fog, Xia Huilan seemed to have realized something too, frowning as she said:

"Xia Ni, go to the factory and stop that monster from killing people."

"Okay."

Xia Ni’s figure flashed as she vaulted over the wall and disappeared.

In the arena.

The man looked at Wu Xiaode with eyes full of admiration, observing his bewildered and perplexed expression.

"Ten heads, now they can take form," he declared.

In the Void, something invisible rippled and gradually emerged in front of him.

——It was a giant lizard with ten heads, its body emanating a faint light, with twenty eyes fixed intently on Wu Xiaode.

The man, with arms crossed, said:

"As you can see, my minions are killing people, and every ten souls can materialize one type of Mind Beast."

"Ten souls? That’s quite weak," Wu Xiaode said.

The man seemed a bit surprised.

His opponent was actually looking down on his Mind Beast?

He gently stroked the long and large body of the Mind Beast, shrugging as he said:

"I’ll take action along with it."

"But it’s still weak, I’ll kill it with my next move," Wu Xiaode said.

The man replied with disdain, "Though it’s still somewhat weak now, it will soon be invincible in this world because—"

"It is the embodiment of your human evil thoughts."

"Your evil thoughts are the most terrifying; there is nothing more vicious than that."

Wu Xiaode paused for a moment.

"What do you think? Am I wrong?" the man asked.

"No," Wu Xiaode stared at the Mind Beast, softly saying, "You’ve successfully piqued my interest."

In an instant.

The Book of the Dead opened, several lines of ice crystal characters emerged:

"You have released the Innate Skill of the Death God: Chaotic Greetings."

"The opponent is now in some random ’Mysterious State’."

"The current random Mysterious status is:"

"Ghost hitting the wall."

"Once effective, a new Mysterious effect will trigger every three minutes."

All the small text flashed by.

Wu Xiaode tilted his head and thought for a moment.

Ghost hitting the wall...

Suddenly, he flew backward.

"Running now?"

The man sneered and slapped the back of the Mind Beast forcefully.

The Mind Beast, with ten human heads, immediately turned into a streak of light and charged at Wu Xiaode.

The man moved as well.

He followed behind the Mind Beast, his hands turning into a dark shadow, and his speed gradually increased.

Suddenly.

The man stopped where he was.

"Something’s wrong..."

He looked around.

He stood at a strange street intersection.

There was nothing around.

No Mind Beast, and no young man.

— What happened?

Wu Xiaode, however, saw a different scene.

As the Mind Beast charged, the man froze, his face suddenly showing confusion, standing still and looking around.

Great opportunity!

This way, only the Mind Beast was attacking him.

It had only absorbed the evil thoughts of ten people.

— Not as terrifying as the Siang of Corpse Pile Mountain!

However, at that moment, Wu Xiaode had only 100 points of Soul Power, unable to utilize End, Descend, or Tao Power.

He clenched his fists and met the Mind Beast, his fists flying like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, a sudden change occurred—

The body of the Mind Beast turned into a phantom in an instant, passed through Wu Xiaode’s body, and bit at him from behind.

What!

Wu Xiaode was startled.

It could directly pass through his body and attacks!

This information was incredibly important.

Lucky for him, he had activated his Innate Skill of Death God, otherwise being sandwiched by that demon and the Mind Beast would have been dangerous.

Wu Xiaode spun in mid-air, his hands crossed in front of him ready to block the hit.

Crack.

A gunshot.

It was Xia Huilan standing in the fog, shooting at the Mind Beast.

Wu Xiaode naturally saw it.

— But it was just a simple handgun, useless!

Who knew that something unexpected would happen.

The Mind Beast, hit by a shot, actually shivered all over and froze in midair, motionless!

Wu Xiaode suddenly realized.

Right!

Under the increase of the Heroic Spirit, Xia Huilan had evolved into a Twin Quantum Body of the Human Race.

She possessed the ability "Flow Entropy"—

Her attacks had high rigidity!

"Thanks, Sister Lan."

Wu Xiaode immediately switched from defense to attack.

Dong dong dong dong dong dong—

In a series of dull hitting sounds, the Mind Beast went from occasionally counterattacking to only blocking, then to struggling helplessly.

Boom!!!

The Mind Beast was punched away by Wu Xiaode.

— It wasn’t over yet.

Once someone like Wu Xiaode seized an opportunity, it might as well declare the end of the fight.

He drew out the Desert Sword and followed up.

A sharp sword light pierced through the entire body of the Mind Beast.

Rustle rustle—

Blood rained all over the sky!

Wu Xiaode landed on the ground and turned to look at the man.

The man seemed to have just regained his senses.

"Impressive ability... it seems I underestimated you..."

With a complex expression, he glanced at the corpse of the Mind Beast, then his figure flashed and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Wu Xiaode was startled.

He ran?

That wasn’t acceptable!

Just as he was about to pursue, he was suddenly pulled into the fog by Xia Huilan.

"It didn’t leave!" Xia Huilan warned.

"How do you know?" Wu Xiaode asked.

Xia Huilan slightly furrowed her brows and said solemnly:

"Xia Ni is dead."

Infinite light gathered in her hands, gently touching the Void.

Quantum Entanglement State was activated!

"When one lady dies, another can directly pull her back to her side and restore her to a previous state."

Xia Ni appeared from the Void, landing in front of the two.

"How did you die?"

Xia Huilan asked.

Xia Ni seemed still frightened, quickly explaining:

"The inside of the factory became very strange, everyone was mutating, each person differently, that man turned everyone into a monster as soon as he arrived."

The three looked towards the factory together.

Then the roaring sounds of the machinery came to a stop.

The whole factory fell into a dead silence.

"Trouble."

Wu Xiaode said, somewhat headache-ridden.

"How so?" Xia Ni asked.

"There are at least a few hundred people in this factory, if they turn into a hundred-headed Mind Beast, with our current strength, we definitely can’t win." Xia Huilan pondered.

"Not necessarily that we can’t win... Anyway, we need to gather all its battle information," Wu Xiaode said resolutely.

The two women nodded.

Yes.

In a few more hours, this monster would appear in their world.

Now was the only chance to grasp information.

They couldn’t just let it slip away.
