Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 544 - 121: Phase 2

Wen Ya was in a state of complete stupor. He trembled as he stood, feeling something flowing beneath his flesh...

Power! It was power! Infinite power!!

Sun Hang naturally noticed Wen Ya’s transformation and couldn’t help but quip, "Are you a dungeon boss? How do you still have a second phase?"

Wen Ya let out a low, inhuman growl. The remnants of his combat uniform disintegrated, revealing shark fin-like slits across his body. With each breath, the fins at those slits opened and closed, spewing out a large cloud of crimson mist.

"The seventh threshold."

Wen Ya never thought he could break through to this level... In his understanding, the "sixth threshold" was already the limit of his abilities. Beyond that, he could only extend the duration of the "sixth threshold"... As for the "seventh threshold," he never even considered it.

But now, only when he truly grasped this power did he understand the terror of the "seventh threshold"... A sense of invincibility arose within him; he even felt that even if the number one Hunter stood before him, they would have to kneel and beg for mercy!

Wen Ya’s thoughts became chaotic, but that didn’t matter. The only thing he needed to do next was kill... as long as he tore apart everything that could move in front of him!

"Die!!" Wen Ya roared.

A series of air-shattering sounds erupted like firecrackers, but faster than the sound was Wen Ya’s fist.

His fist crushed Sun Hang’s head, passing through an explosion of red and white matter!

"So exhilarating!!!" Wen Ya’s heart was filled with ecstasy. "This is the feeling of possessing power! This is Laozi’s ’seventh threshold’!!"

Everyone must die!!

What Hunter, what Federation, what mysterious object... before Laozi’s ’seventh threshold,’ they are nothing!

Laozi is the ruler of the world! The most powerful ruler!!

Time began to slow down in Wen Ya’s eyes. He could clearly see Sun Hang’s shattered skull wrapped in flesh, flying in all directions...

Strangely, why did that piece of flesh turn into that shape in mid-air... looking just like a clump of overcooked noodles?

No, not noodles!

That’s the mycelium of a Tai Sui!

Wen Ya’s eyes widened in an instant. He found that the "Sun Hang" he had just blown away had lost human form. A huge mass of pale mycelium collapsed, scattered on the ground.

"It’s a puppet?!"

Wen Ya suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He looked down and was shocked to see a blood-covered hand sticking out from his chest.

The hand was well-defined, with long fingers, and against the vibrant red of the blood, the skin appeared unusually pale... Wen Ya didn’t like this kind of skin tone. In his eyes, people with pale skin and slender limbs were weaklings.

Even among women, he preferred those with noticeable fitness marks, with curves in all the right places.

But in this frail hand was an unusually large heart, pulsing forcefully, with thunderous beats.

Wen Ya’s vision drifted downward to find his left chest cavity completely empty.

So... this is... Laozi’s heart?

The surging power began to leave Wen Ya’s body faster than it came. His chaos-filled thoughts finally calmed down a bit.

What followed was pure, unadulterated fear.

"The seventh threshold? Sounds pretty edgy." A voice, without emotion, came from behind Wen Ya. The pale hand suddenly exerted force, crushing the massive heart into bits, bursting open!

"Mon... ster,"

Wen Ya uttered the last words of his life and fell heavily to the ground, face down. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The quickly cooling blood soon froze with the ground, turning into a large patch of dark red shards of ice.

It was only then that Sun Hang’s phone rang in his pocket.

"Hello?" Sun Hang answered the call.

"What happened over at the test site?" Yang Qi’s voice was urgent. "We watched the surveillance footage. After Wen Ya landed successfully, you said something to him, and he immediately attacked you! What did you say?"

Sun Hang looked up to see dozens of drones hovering in midair, their dark cameras all aimed at him.

"Nothing much, I just asked him ’what is the mysterious object,’ and he went mad and charged. As for what happened afterward, I suspect his infection process might have already breached the danger threshold, so I killed him." Sun Hang walked forward, nudging Wen Ya’s corpse with his toe.

The man was dead as could be, and the body was frozen solid to the ground. To move the body intact, one would need a chisel to meticulously chip away the solidified ice shards.

Dozens of mycelia stretched out from Sun Hang’s feet, piercing into the body, constantly siphoning the remaining anomalous meme from the corpse.

"I just received a report from the test site... Wen Ya’s bracelet data did indeed show that in the half-minute before his death, his infection process greatly exceeded the danger threshold..." Song Yarong’s voice chimed in, "But what is the mysterious object you mentioned to him?"
