Eternal Night

Chapter 897 Frenzy
Wu Pifu lunged straight at the oncoming mass of fleshy tentacles. All the tentacles pierced through him just millimeters from his side, and in a flash, they all stuck into the concrete ground behind him, blasting dozens of small holes. The concrete ground was directly pierced by the fleshy tentacles.

The owner of the tentacles was a fleshy monster with a human skull. Its limbs and body were all made of these strip-shaped tentacle muscles, making it look like a monster. It had dozens of tentacles, most of which were chasing Wu Pifu and stabbing him wildly, while the remaining dozen or so muscular tentacles were carrying its body and fleeing into the jungle.

Logically speaking, an ordinary person wouldn't be able to withstand such a muscular monster after it has completely controlled and activated its physical body for even a second; it would be torn to shreds in an instant. However, at this moment, it is facing Wu Pifu, a being who has reached the pinnacle of the Chinese martial arts system.

In the chase, the flesh-and-blood monster had barely escaped for two seconds when Wu Pifu had already reached it. Knowing it could no longer escape, it immediately roared, "I surrender! I will submit to you as my master! Spare my life..."

"Shut up!"

Wu Pifu let out a sound from his throat and punched the flesh monster squarely in the center of its body. With a loud bang, a large hole was blasted into the center of the monster's body. But that wasn't all. Wu Pifu then punched its side and kicked it in the back...

In just three seconds, Wu Pifu delivered at least a hundred blows, turning the entire flesh monster into a bloody pulp, beyond any hope of survival.

This was an extremely rare instance of Wu Pifu using a non-human being to vent his anger, akin to whipping a corpse.

He stood still and took a deep breath, no longer looking at the remains of the fleshy monster that were beginning to turn to ashes. He took a big step and rushed straight towards a big tree in front of him. Then, as if walking on flat ground, he stepped across the tree trunk, and after a few steps, he reached the treetop. On the treetop, he stepped off and leaped into the air, jumping more than ten meters in a row to another big tree. In just a few leaps, he darted out of the jungle.

Meanwhile, on another deserted suburban road, a mutilated monster of flesh and blood was staggering along. Its flesh and blood smeared the cement ground, and pieces of its internal organs kept falling from its lower body, but the flesh and bones of its upper body still supported it as it ran along the road at a speed of at least eighty meters per second.

Just then, a man and a woman appeared at the fork in the road ahead. The two young people were clearly lovers, walking hand in hand in the night with happy smiles. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. But just as the two lovers were immersed in their tenderness, a large, bloody, and mangled monster rushed straight towards them.

"……flesh……"

The monster roared incomprehensible words, and upon confirming the presence of two humans, it pounced on them with wild joy at a speed of at least eighty meters per second. This speed was far beyond what humans could dodge. Just as the two shocked and terrified young man and woman were about to die in the monster's mouth, a bolt of lightning, moving even faster, suddenly struck down from the sky with a deafening roar, embedding the flesh-and-blood monster entirely in the concrete pit.

The two young men and women were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, hugging each other and retreating backward. Then they saw that a five or six-year-old child had fallen from the sky and used his small, cute fist to smash the flesh monster into the concrete, even creating a small crater in the concrete and embedding the flesh monster firmly in it.

Wu Pifu looked up at the two of them and said, "Let's go home."

The young man and woman were still in shock, but upon hearing Wu Pifu's voice, they inexplicably mustered their courage from the bottom of their hearts. The man suddenly stood up, picked up the young woman, and ran towards the end of the path.

After the two young men left, Wu Pifu looked at the fleshy monster still struggling under his fist. Hearing the indistinct but still powerful, monotonous pleas for mercy, the killing intent and anger in his heart surged forth uncontrollably.

These two non-human beings were the fourth and fifth non-human beings he had chased that night, but these two were the ones who truly enraged him the most.

In a self-built house in the suburbs, he found the two non-human beings who were conducting research... research on human suffering, flesh and blood deformities, and mental distortions!
When he arrived, the owner of the self-built house, an eighty-year-old man, a middle-aged couple, and two children, a boy and a girl, had all been transformed into terrifying and miserable flesh monsters. The two non-humans were still discussing with great interest how to use flesh transformation weapons, how to create a large number of flesh puppets, and how to control the consciousness of these mortals to correct and anchor others as non-human.

The owner of the self-built house, this originally warm family, the ordinary person with elderly parents and young children, all that remained were a few pieces of flesh that were still alive, but had completely lost their physical form and their individuality...

Although Wu Pifu had long known that non-humans were monsters in human skin and that all their behaviors were simulations of human behavior, he still felt extremely violent emotions at this moment. So much so that when he killed the first non-human, he couldn't help but whip the corpse, which almost caused the second non-human to kill two more innocent people.

"...What do you value life?!"

Wu Pifu ignored the inhuman pleas and screams, and just kept punching the ground.

"You shouldn't exist!" A moment later, the flesh monster had turned into a pulp. Although it was a monster, it was still made of pure flesh. At this moment, Wu Pifu saw the unreserved power of the peak of the Divine Indestructible Realm erupting. Even his own muscles and joints began to break down without stopping. The flesh monster was truly and completely smashed into a pulp, and the cement ground was completely cracked.

Wu Pifu stood up, took a deep breath, and turned to walk into the city.

The number of outsiders was not small. A batch was eliminated in the first wave. Only when the outsiders who had been sublimated were identified as non-human would that strange phenomenon occur. Ordinary superhumans who were not sublimated would explode on the spot when they were identified as non-human. And their number was far more than the few outsiders that Wu Pifu initially thought. Judging from the results after he walked around the entire city, at least two or three hundred ordinary superhumans had exploded and died between day and night.

Even if only one-tenth of the sublimated beings survive, there are still twenty or thirty sublimated beings running rampant in this space.

Wu Pifu has now confirmed that these sublimated beings possess powerful control over their physical bodies and mental consciousness. This is the passive characteristic of sublimated beings, which is the result of their self-perfection. Therefore, even though they cannot use extraordinary energy or extraordinary methods, they can all become flesh and blood monsters with ultimate control over their physical bodies.

If that's all there is to it, then their harm is merely bizarre, or even less so, because they dare not expose themselves openly.

But their threat goes far beyond that. These sublimated beings are ancient monsters who have lived for countless millennia. Their knowledge is unfathomable. They not only modify their own bodies and minds, which are anchored as humans, but they can also modify the bodies and minds of the humans around them.

Ascended beings, flesh monsters, aberrations, flesh puppets, or even large-scale mental hypnosis and personality modification—given enough time, these ascended beings can easily turn this space into a hell of flesh and monsters!
and……

They truly pose a deadly threat to the Wu ants!

Their own flesh and blood changes are still within a controllable range, but if they were to be mass-produced flesh and blood puppet monsters, or a flesh and blood mutation combination, Wu Pifu might not be able to handle it. After all, he only has the body of a five-year-old child, and his physical condition is too poor...

Unless he can undergo the three stages of the martial arts system—Dan Jin, Gang Jin, and Jian Shen Bu Hua—in a short period of time, allowing his body to barely complete the entire process of the martial arts system, even if he is a five-year-old child, his combat power can at least increase three times or more!
"...a negative backlash from the mind...twenty percent!"

Wu Pifu burst out of the kitchen of a restaurant. He chewed rapidly, the food he ate moving quickly through his stomach and intestines to digest. Steam filled his body. Then he ran past a vending machine, and in a flash, the vending machine shattered, and all the drinks inside were drunk in one gulp.

"...Although this space forbids the martial arts of immortals, the basic training of skin, flesh, tendons, and bones can still be simulated by the negative backflow of the mind..."

Wu Pifu clenched his fist, and with a loud bang, the air exploded. At the same time, he grew about ten centimeters taller than before, and now he looked like a seven or eight-year-old child.

A dark figure flashed across the road, his footsteps growing heavier, leaving footprints on the ground. Then came an explosion, a shockwave, and the figure's speed increased dramatically once more... Finally, after eating his way through the entire journey and relentlessly activating 20% ​​of his Negative Influence, Wu Pifu, with his mortal body, finally broke the sound barrier!
Meanwhile, inside an armed police command vehicle, several officers were watching the surveillance footage with furrowed brows. The footage showed five men and women committing atrocities, capturing pedestrians in the night. Their movements and speed were simply inhuman, or rather, exceeded human limits... A human who could easily run fifty or sixty meters per second was simply a fantasy.

"...The encirclement has been completed, and they are all in this abandoned building." A reporter listened to the voice in his earpiece and looked at the full information screen, then immediately reported to several officers.

The leading officer glanced at the group and said solemnly, "Headquarters has issued a death order: the true culprits of the 9/11 attacks must be found. Such a large-scale and bizarre phenomenon must have a reason. These five are the prime suspects. I will now take command!"

"Let's begin..."

Before he could finish speaking, a series of gunshots and explosions began to emanate from the earpieces worn by everyone and from the night sky outside the command vehicle. All the officers' faces immediately turned extremely grim, because this was a major military accident. But before they could react, shrill screams of agony rang out.

"Monster!!"

In the darkness of night, dozens of hideous, fleshy monsters surged out of the abandoned building!
