404 Stalemate (1/2)

Zhou Wen flew back and touched a leaf that exploded like a grenade. Fortunately, he was wearing the Mutated Stone Chi armor. He charged out the instant the leaf exploded using Ghost Steps, suffering minimal damage from the explosion.

Even so, the Mutated Stone Chi's armor was blackened from the blast. Zhou Wen was somewhat astonished. This person's ability was so bizarre that he could actually turn an ant and a leaf into his weapons. It was impossible to guard against.

The entire forest was filled with insects, leaves, and vegetation. Zhou Wen didn't know which insects or leaves would become a bomb. Even the grass on the ground could become a landmine.

Zhou Wen's body stood in midair. He used Truth Listener's hearing and his eyes to search for Ják. If he couldn't find him, no amount of strength was useful.

However, Zhou Wen couldn't find any traces of Ják within the range of his senses. The entire forest only had the rustling sounds of leaves when the wind blew and the chirping of insects.

Zhou Wen hovered in the air, using the Godfiend flying ability to prevent himself from touching anything. Then, he slowly moved in the air, in search of Ják's possible hiding locations.

When insects, birds, or leaves approached him, he would preemptively slice them apart.

However, there weren't any further explosions. Zhou Wen sensed that Ják was still there. He hadn't left. The atmosphere in the woods felt very odd.

Boom!

Zhou Wen suddenly heard an explosion. However, the explosion didn't happen from his body. Instead, it happened above a large nearby tree. A bug exploded from the crown of a tree, scattering the leaves and branches everywhere. Even a wasp hive that was nestled in the tree flew out.

Zhou Wen looked at the leaves and wasps that filled the sky as though he was watching a flurry of bombs. He only had one thought in mind: he absolutely couldn't let them touch him.

With Ghost Steps and Dragon Gate Flying Immortal Skill, Zhou Wen's figure rapidly flashed. The leaves and wasps that filled the sky failed to touch him.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several trees were blasted apart as the sky filled with leaves and critters. Zhou Wen kept flying as his body twisted and turned, passing through the leaves like a ghost.

He didn't touch the leaves, but the nearby leaves automatically exploded as though the entire forest had turned into an explosive warehouse. Anything that approached Zhou Wen could explode.

Zhou Wen was caught off guard. All he could do was dash out of the forest and appear in the sky above. He looked down at the forest from above and observed everything that was happening.

Truth Listener's power had already presented everything that was happening in the forest to his brain. No activity could escape his ears.

This was the most terrifying opponent of the same level Zhou Wen had ever encountered since he began cultivating. Although he had fought others before, the strongest was the Mutated Stone Chi and Mei. No matter how powerful they were, they weren't as diabolical and terrifying as this person.

Previously, although Yan Zhen was also diabolical and terrifying, he wasn't good at combat. He was more like a crazy scientist, but this person was like a killing machine. Although his combat ability wasn't very strong, his abilities and means allowed him to kill someone without doing the dirty work.

Zhou Wen moved back and forth in the air as he swept the nearby trees several times, but failed to find any traces of Ják.

That bastard Shen Yuchi. Is this his idea of an ordinary student? Ják cursed inwardly as well.
