Thud!
Several footsteps appeared behind Motley.
"Kid, the entire city is covered by surveillance and Awakened Ones. Don't think your ridiculous disguise can fool us," Cao Li sneered.
Qin Wan floated in the air, while Fang Wenyu and Wan Tianhong remained silent, simply walking toward Motley.
Motley's expression was grim. His body transformed into a swarm of insects: "So what? If I can't hide, I'll fight you head-on!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
A massive swarm of insects appeared. However, Qin Wan merely waved her hand, and a powerful restraining force enveloped the swarm.
"Damn it, that's disgusting!" Motley's angry voice came from within the swarm.
None of his insects could move.
A smile appeared on Wan Tianhong's face. He stretched out his hands, aiming at the insect swarm: "Fighting here is truly easy. Besides that masked Monster, no one can escape from this place!"
They had previously dragged Liu Zhiyuan in once, but he managed to leave using a special ability, which allowed him to escape.
Woosh! High-temperature flames burst from Wan Tianhong's hands. The flames swept across the swarm, and the individual insects were incinerated and exploded.
"Ahhh!" Screams emanated from the insect swarm.
The flames burned for a full minute. When the swarm was completely consumed, a charred corpse appeared in the center.
However, Qin Wan merely glanced at it, and her expression immediately turned grim: "This is fake. It must be a decoy, similar to the one Jiang Ao and the others captured."
Inside the Doulin Realm, she possessed absolute control over the area and could instantly detect whether the corpse was the person himself.
"Let's go out first." Fang Wenyu looked at the corpse, his expression unchanged.
These Flesh-and-Blood Beings are simply harder to catch than the last.
Qin Wan nodded. With a wave of her hand, the group reappeared where they had been.
Fang Wenyu walked out of the alley and spoke beneath a surveillance Camera: "It's fake again. Continue the investigation!"
Over by the surveillance, inside the Command Room.
Ruan Meng watched Fang Wenyu on the screen, his brows slightly furrowed: "This damn thing is actually so troublesome."
After this Insect Person sought out and killed isolated Awakened Ones, he immediately analyzed the situation, found the approximate location of the Insect Person, and dispatched Fang Wenyu and the others nearby.
"Group Leader Ruan, Group Leader Zhu's life signature has vanished!" Suddenly, a woman stood up, her face filled with panic.
Her ability allowed her to sense the target's location and life strength within a certain range simply by obtaining their blood, essentially making her a human radar here.
Hearing this, Ruan Meng's expression immediately turned cold: "Immediately notify the nearby Level Fives to rush to the location where Zhu Tianxiao last disappeared."
Currently, there are still three Flesh-and-Blood Beings who haven't been eliminated. They are completely powerless against the Xuanjian Division's Group Leaders, but they are simply too good at running.
On the outskirts of the West District, a young woman was riding an Electric Scooter along a small road. This was Motley, who had changed his appearance.
"These damn bastards, play however you want, I'm done! I'm going to find a small country and continue developing there!" Motley's face showed anger.
He had originally been dominating and slaughtering weaklings in foreign countries, and thought he could continue doing so here, but unexpectedly, he became the one being dominated.
Even the Clone that possessed thirty percent of his strength was killed. What's the point of continuing?
After the Electric Scooter traveled more than ten kilometers outside the suburbs, it ran out of power and stopped.
Motley got off and looked around. There was no one around, not even surveillance Cameras, only utility poles standing there.
Buzz, buzz, buzz! His body turned into insects, preparing to leave the area.
The moment he turned into insects, the sky suddenly turned red.
The insects subconsciously looked up and saw that the sky above was covered by massive Red Energy.
This Red Energy covered an area of five hundred meters, enveloping the entire insect swarm.
"No!!!" Feeling the terrifying energy descending from above, Motley couldn't help but scream.
Boom! The Red Energy was extremely fast, giving the insect swarm no time to react before pressing down directly.
Bang, bang, bang!
Under the Red Energy, the insects exploded one by one without any power to resist, and the entire swarm was wiped out.
RUMBLE!
The ground shook as the Red Energy pressed down, creating a massive circular pit dozens of meters deep and five hundred meters in diameter.
This tremor extended all the way to the city suburbs, where the Awakened Ones operating there felt a slight vibration.
All that remained was Motley, covered in blood, lying naked and critically injured on the ground, having reverted to his original form.
In the sky, the Blood Master watched the scene below expressionlessly: "Weak and ignorant of one's weakness, yet daring to defy orders."
Below, several Monsters walked out. They lifted the severely injured and unconscious Motley and turned to run in another direction.
The Blood Master moved the wings behind him, flew toward the sky, and disappeared from the area.
At the Official Building in the city center, the moment the Blood Master made his move, Bai Wenliang, who was drinking tea outside, suddenly looked up toward the West District: "Did the Monster Association make a move?"
The intensity of this energy fluctuation exceeded Level Five but had not yet reached Level Six. It had previously appeared on the side of the Monsters during the battle in Anna Country.
However, Bai Wenliang did not move. He continued to drink his tea, taking only small sips each time.
He had already finished the tea in three Thermos Cups. He didn't know why, but today he felt an unusual urge to drink tea.
A few minutes later, outside the West District.
A red-haired woman wearing a black miniskirt, safety shorts, and a shirt flew quickly through the sky. There was also a Camera on her shoulder.
"What is this!" The red-haired woman looked at the ground, which had been pressed into a perfect circle, with a look of shock.
As an Awakened One, she understood that this required an extremely fine degree of control over power, something only a minority of Level Fives could achieve.
The images from here were also transmitted back to the Command Room.
Ruan Meng's eyes flickered as he looked at the circular pit in the footage: 'Did an unknown powerhouse from the Monster Association make a move? What kind of existence could attract a Monster of this caliber to act?'
He was not at all surprised that there were Monsters outside; this merely proved that the Monster Association truly intended to set the battlefield in HQ City.
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Meng refocused his attention on the battlefield. Currently, only one Flesh-and-Blood Being—a Giant—remained in open combat.
He looked at the screen. On it, a whole block was reduced to ruins. The Giant was being struck by bolts of Lightning, leaving it charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the Blood Hound Pack had been completely wiped out.
Furthermore, the Group Leaders from other locations were rushing toward this area. Ending the battle was only a matter of time.
"But the real battle hasn't even begun," Ruan Meng's eyes flickered.
This time, in addition to Bai Wenliang and all the Group Leaders being mobilized, hundreds of nukes were aimed at HQ City. Should any accident occur, the entire HQ City would be completely reduced to ashes and vanish from the map of Nanwu Country.
However, this matter was confidential. Apart from those at or above the Group Leader level, no one else was aware of it.
"Group Leader Ruan, currently over eighty Awakened Ones have suddenly gone missing! They all entered secluded places like alleys and have not responded since!" A loud shout suddenly came from behind him.
