A moment later, Xu Ruina, Zhao Xiyue, Zhang Wenwen, and Qian Xinxin surrounded Wang Hai'an.
The administrative team saw this and left without looking back.
Of course, they went as far as they could. If these people started fighting, the entire block would be gone even by conservative estimates.
The demonstrating crowd, however, was not as calm as the administrative team. They fled for their lives as if zombies had appeared.
Some people even fell and were trampled on by those behind them, only to struggle up and run away with a limp.
In a short while, the area was cleared automatically. Apart from the people in the laboratory, everyone else had vanished.
"Heh, with just you guys?"
"Three transcendent beings, and a half-human, half-corpse monster?"
"I'm an inheritor-level powerhouse. You trash are no match for me!"
"Zhang Wenwen, isn't your True God Cult very powerful? Then I'll start with you!"
"Kill you, and the so-called faith of the True God Cult will collapse!"
As Wang Hai'an spoke, he suddenly fired an energy beam at Zhao Xiyue.
Bang!
The move was so sudden that Zhao Xiyue, despite being fully alert and defending against Wang Hai'an, was still outmatched due to the significant level difference, and Wang Hai'an's dual talents.
With a bang, Zhao Xiyue was sent flying a long distance.
Before anyone else could react, Wang Hai'an's figure surged forward, and he immediately appeared before Zhang Wenwen.
In Wang Hai'an's eyes, his strength and physique far surpassed Zhang Wenwen's. He didn't need any technique; a wild onslaught would be enough to defeat her!
The so-called divine protection was just self-deception by a bunch of superstitious fools.
With this thought, he threw a punch, carrying a gust of wind, towards Zhang Wenwen's head.
The punch was incredibly fast, whistling through the air.
Qian Xinxin cried out in alarm and rushed to her rescue.
Swish!
To everyone's surprise, Wang Hai'an missed!
Zhang Wenwen merely tilted her head back and straightened her waist, as if doing warm-up exercises before combat, effortlessly evading the attack!
With Wang Hai'an's strength, if Zhang Wenwen had detected his attack and then dodged, she wouldn't have had time to react.
But what astonished everyone was that Zhang Wenwen didn't even look at Wang Hai'an. She was simply sitting there, doing her warm-up.
As a result, she coincidentally dodged a fatal blow!
"Heh, just a coincidence!"
Wang Hai'an snorted coldly, and his fists and feet rained down like a storm.
His attacks lacked any pattern, partly to prevent the opponent from predicting them, and partly because his speed was high, and random attacks would disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm.
"This is bad!"
Zhao Xiyue exclaimed.
Zhang Wenwen might have luckily dodged the first attack, but with such a dense barrage, sheer good fortune wouldn't be enough!
Just as everyone was worrying about Zhang Wenwen.
A scene that stunned everyone unfolded.
Zhang Wenwen continued to do her warm-up exercises as if nothing was happening.
But Wang Hai'an's fists and feet seemed to be cooperating with Zhang Wenwen, always attacking the positions she evaded.
Such coordination was like the result of years of arduous training between two acrobats.
It was outrageous!
"This is the power of the True God! No matter how strong you are, you can't hit me. It's my turn to counterattack!"
Zhang Wenwen took a step back and said with a smile.
"Tch, you? You can hit me?"
Wang Hai'an said, circling Zhang Wenwen at high speed, moving so fast that only blurry afterimages could be seen.
Bang!
Zhang Wenwen casually threw a punch.
Wang Hai'an, in mid-flight at high speed, was sent flying, his face still wearing an expression of disbelief.
He had been staring at Zhang Wenwen's eyes. She hadn't even looked at him; she had thrown a punch randomly, as she pleased.
Yet, by sheer coincidence, the punch landed precisely where Wang Hai'an was about to move.
The result was as if Wang Hai'an had intentionally run into the fist that happened to appear before him.
These two failed offensive and defensive exchanges were not due to Zhang Wenwen's overwhelming strength, but entirely due to an extremely improbable coincidence.
Wang Hai'an, though unconvinced, felt a stinging pain on his face...
At this moment, the battle attracted a large number of survivors who cautiously watched from buildings several kilometers away.
Some survivors with enhanced vision described the distant fight to the others.
"This... this is too unbelievable. Deacon Zhang Wenwen, who is at the transcendent stage, actually sent Wang Hai'an, who is at the inheritor stage, flying?"
"That's not all. Just now, when I saw Wang Hai'an attacking, the Deacon simply did a few warm-up movements and evaded it. She completely disregarded Wang Hai'an!"
"This is truly the blessing of the True God. Otherwise, how could such an effect be achieved? It looks like the Deacon is at the inheritor level, while Wang Hai'an is only at the transcendent stage."
"Piety, piety is truly important. The Deacon didn't lie to us; she has indeed received the blessing of the True God!"
The crowd's murmurs further solidified their faith in the True God.
"It's my turn to act!"
Qian Xinxin, seizing the moment when Wang Hai'an lost his balance and was in mid-air, suddenly activated her skill:
[Soul Ablaze]: Energy consumption is ten times that of [Soul Burn], and the effect is increased fifteenfold!
In simpler terms, it was an advanced version of [Soul Burn].
A skill that thoroughly burned crystal cores, exchanging a massive consumption of crystal cores for a temporary boost in combat power.
[Soul Ablaze] Level 10!
Boom!
An energy field even stronger than Wang Hai'an's instantly erupted.
Qian Xinxin was enveloped in crimson flames, slowly floating upwards, her hair and clothes pulled upwards by a powerful force.
[Crimson Lotus Fire Python]!
The extremely potent energy materialized into a sky-devouring giant python that swallowed the target into its body, simultaneously consuming energy from both itself and the target at a ratio of 0.1:1.
[Crystal Core Barrage]!
Completely annihilating crystal cores to release rampant energy and inflict massive damage on the target!
Qian Xinxin's skills were all about consuming crystal cores.
A massive energy python, emitting crimson flames, swallowed Wang Hai'an in one gulp. Countless crystal cores within its body self-annihilated, releasing immense destructive power!
Bang, Boom!
This combination cost Qian Xinxin one percent of the black market treasury's crystal cores.
Wang Hai'an did not fare any better, falling from mid-air, covered in wounds.
Before he could hit the ground, two giant faceless zombies emerged from the ground, grabbing his arms one on each side.
"Now!"
Zhao Xiyue gathered all her energy into her critical strike spear and thrust it forward fiercely!
Hiss!
The spear directly pierced Wang Hai'an's body, blood dripping onto the ground.
"Done!"
Qian Xinxin slumped to the ground, panting and looking exhausted.
However, at that moment, the laboratory erupted in a violent explosion. Shirley was flung out of the smoke and landed heavily on the ground.
Before losing consciousness, she uttered her last breath:
"Enemy attack... Xu..."
