Otherworldly Desert Dust

The battlefield was quite intense, with thunderous bolts and magma eruption occurring from time to time.

Wu Hen dragged the Red Eagle pilot towards a more distant reef island.

After confirming that this place wouldn’t be affected by the battlefield, Wu Hen finally laid the Red Eagle pilot flat.

The Red Eagle pilot looked around the same age as himself, with semi-long hair drenched by seawater, and a face that resembled a youthful idol. Even in such a disheveled state, he was quite handsome. For a moment, Wu Hen thought he was a woman.

The looks were outstanding, only slightly inferior to his own.

If the disaster hadn’t struck, he could really debut as an idol.

"Why isn’t he breathing?"

Wu Hen was surprised to find this guy’s windpipe might be clogged with mud...

What a pity.

If she were really a woman, Wu Hen wouldn’t mind her dirty face.

"Bang!"

With a punch, Wu Hen hit the Red Eagle pilot in the abdomen.

"Pffft!!!"

With a mouthful of old mud spewed out, the Red Eagle pilot almost bent in half from the force of Wu Hen’s punch!

"Cough cough cough~~~~~~"

After spitting out the mud, the Red Eagle pilot started coughing frantically.

Seeing that he had almost recovered, Wu Hen remarked teasingly, "Friend, you owe me a life. Reincarnate as a woman in the next life to repay me."

The Red Eagle pilot’s face turned completely red from coughing. He stared at Wu Hen without any intention of thanking him, rather showing a sense of wariness.

"Brother, you’re being ungrateful. I pulled you out from the sea, otherwise you’d be long..." Wu Hen was staring at the beautiful man, but then he noticed something unusual on his wet collar.

The Red Eagle pilot, sensing Wu Hen’s gaze, stepped back a few paces, his face, already red, turning almost purple.

"Wow, brother, you’re really... No, why are you so flat!" Wu Hen suddenly realized something, almost wanting to slap himself.

This brother was a girl!

Wu Hen had judged her as a man just because he hadn’t felt any difference between the front and back when pulling her out of the sea...

Moreover, her eyebrows seemed intentionally shaped to be heroic-looking, so Wu Hen naturally assumed she used to be some idol star, given how androgynous idols could sometimes look.

What a pity!!

Actually, with such looks, gender shouldn’t matter so much; even doing some artificial respiration wouldn’t be unacceptable.

"Th... Thank you for saving me; my name is Tu Shanlan." The Red Eagle woman, cautious as she was, still maintained composure and reason in her conversation with Wu Hen.

"Tsk tsk, what a befitting name. No need to wait for the next life then." Wu Hen grinned lewdly.

Though small, Wu Hen had a knack for discovering different kinds of beauty.

"If you kill Ying Snake, will you... leave?" The Red Eagle woman questioned.

If this Outer Heaven Guest saved her, it proved that not every one of them was selfish and brutal. She hoped to communicate with him on equal terms.

"Well..." Wu Hen naturally wouldn’t answer her.

He was still pretending to be an Outer Heaven Guest, needing to become the last survivor to negotiate with the Purple Robed Master.

"Of course, he won’t leave. After all, this is his foul, reeking yet cherished homeland." Suddenly, a sinister voice came from behind.

Tu Shanlan looked over and saw a long-haired man standing coldly on the shore, his eyes sharp.

"Ah, Senior Brother Xiao, why hide in such a faraway place?" Wu Hen wasn’t surprised at all, a smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Little junior brother, we often tell you not to empathetically resonate with these pests, hoping you realize you belong with us. Who knew our little junior brother had already passed away, replaced by a pest inside his shell, manipulating him!" Xiao Chong’s face also carried a sneer.

"Oh, you found out." Wu Hen laughed along with Xiao Chong.

"Actually, we don’t care what resides in the junior brother’s body as long as their actions align with ours and don’t cause trouble. Yet, you, this insect, lack high awareness. Given a chance for Nirvana Rebirth, you still hanker after your days in the insect nest. Did you think I wouldn’t notice Lan Han’s death?" Xiao Chong’s smile gradually lost warmth, eyes filled with killing intent!

On the side, Tu Shanlan watched the Outer Heaven Guest who saved her. From their few words, she quickly understood the situation.

This Outer Heaven Guest was one of their own!

He awoke inside a lost Outer Heaven Guest.

No wonder when the Emperor Alliance wanted to deploy the Twelve Zodiac Mechanical Beasts, he refused.

It turned out he had been secretly conserving and amassing energy for humanity, even killing their people in the chaos.

So, it made sense he would risk saving her.

Tu Shanlan’s impression of Wu Hen took a complete 180-degree turn, admiration welling up!

"Step back a bit to avoid getting hurt." Wu Hen said softly to Tu Shanlan behind him.

Tu Shanlan clenched her fists, showing she could also contribute.

But Wu Hen didn’t wait for her reaction. With a slap, he raised a water wave, sending Tu Shanlan to a farther reef area.

"So considerate of women, huh? I’ll crush her bones and bury them with yours later. Your rotten bodies disgust me, but I’ll respect your genuine feelings." Xiao Chong said.

"Senior Brother Xiao, do you still think I am the junior brother who let himself be slaughtered?" Wu Hen’s voice came over.

Xiao Chong dismissed it, about to mock him again when he suddenly sensed numerous electric blades around. They whipped at him harshly with their slender bodies.

Spreading his hands, Xiao Chong retreated swiftly like a roc bird.

Amidst the writhing electric blades, a blurry figure appeared instantly. It was Wu Hen wielding a thick lightning whip blade. When swung, it created crackling sparks in the air, imposing!

Xiao Chong was astonished, realizing the little junior brother had mastered other powers.

Likely it was the lower people’s technology.

Xiao Chong dared not be careless, forming a seal with one hand. A holy golden image conjured a fierce holy tiger lunging at Wu Hen with Bengshan Claw!

Wu Hen noticed that unlike other senior brothers, Xiao Chong’s technique mainly involved summoning forms with holy power, capable of sealing tigers, bears, rocs, elephants, and crocodile totems.

Besides the giant golden spirit, these totem beasts were one-time forces, not forming real beasts to fight.

Wu Hen used the fighting clothes’ mobility to dodge the totem beast’s Bengshan Claw. From hundreds of meters away, he swung the electric whip, sending countless blades slicing toward Xiao Chong again.

In haste, Xiao Chong conjured a golden holy wall to block the electric blades’ energy assault. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Bang!!!"

A thick lightning bolt suddenly materialized over Xiao Chong’s head. Panicked, Xiao Chong rolled aside to dodge.

Climbing back up, Xiao Chong’s face was covered in dust. He didn’t understand how the lightning blade passed his holy wall and struck down.

"Elephant form, trample!"

Feeling humiliated, Xiao Chong angrily roared.

This time, he erupted with holy power, summoning a colossal totem elephant reaching tens of stories high in an instant.

Imitating the elephant form, Xiao Chong used his arms as elephant legs, heavily stomping the reef area.

"Boom!!!!!!"

The trample force kicked up an extreme golden wave, smashing all the surrounding reef stones into gravel.

The energy surged towards Wu Hen, leaving him no place to escape.

Yet, Wu Hen didn’t show much anxiety, even arrogantly closing his eyes.

"Swoosh~"

Wu Hen vanished from the spot as the golden wave reached him. The next moment, he appeared behind Xiao Chong!

Xiao Chong slightly sensed it, turning his head to look at Wu Hen.

But Wu Hen was too fast, so fast that despite Xiao Chong being aware he was behind him, he couldn’t react in time!

"Senior Brother Xiao, I was troubled by your hiding. I never planned to let any of you leave Nuwa God End alive... Never expected you to deliver yourself."

Flinging his hand, Wu Hen wrapped the electric slaughter whip blade around Xiao Chong’s neck and unleashed the stored energy from the fighting clothes!

The electric slaughter material, inherently volatile, filled with killing intent, was tame on Wu Hen due to a fiercer presence.

But when unleashed by Wu Hen on Xiao Chong, its true nature was freed, savagely slashing Xiao Chong’s entire body, shattering all his bones!

Xiao Chong howled in agony, eyes full of disbelief.

He couldn’t believe a junior brother he used to torment became so powerful, nor that he was helpless before a lower seed person...

"Holding others as cockroaches was quite superior, huh? Now I understand how it feels."

"I have a bad habit, like most villains. After gaining the upper hand, I prefer to prattle on."

"But I differ from them; I like to break my foe’s bones completely, let them scream until voiceless before killing..."

Wu Hen displayed brutality not from himself but from a deep-seated vengeful emotion within the host.

Years of oppression and humiliation from senior brothers made the host hate them to the core. When Wu Hen subdued them, the grudges, anger, and joyous revenge feelings were all released!

Die!

All must die!!

Countless times had the host fantasized about ascending realms one day, to stomp his senior brothers and sisters like bugs!

Of course, Wu Hen admitted some of his own feelings were in there too.

After only a few days with these Holy Sect peers, Wu Hen already wanted to kill them, let alone they threatened his homeland.
