Cataclysm: The Enhancement Warlock's Rebirth

The Tang sword slashed horizontally.

Three crescent-shaped blade beams shot out, connected end to end, advancing forward in an arc.

A buzzing and vibration filled the air, as if the air itself had been forcibly torn apart.

The silver-armored soldier's longsword snapped in two with a sharp sound, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

Then the armor shattered, revealing bluish-gray skin and a thin red line.

They strode forward, maintaining their forward-charging posture, until blood mist burst from their chests simultaneously, then they collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

【Skill 2: Radiant Moon Lv16 (Active) – Performs a powerful horizontal slash forward, unleashing three crescent-shaped light waves to attack the target unit, with an armor-piercing effect.】

Jiang Xiao never fights a battle unprepared.

"Radiant Moon" is a new skill introduced at midnight today when the Tang sword was upgraded.

With this trump card in hand, he had the confidence to plot with Qin Xun to seize control of the altar.

I have to say, I had incredible luck today.

Not only did it acquire a skill, but it also reached Tier 2 strength.

He wondered to himself, could it be that he had been blessed with good fortune because Lu Wanwan had been around for so long?

The street was briefly quiet for a moment.

One strike pierces through ten layers of armor!

This visual impact is breathtaking.

In the distance, the crowd that had been secretly watching erupted in uproar.

"Damn! What kind of extraordinary talent did this guy awaken? How is he so powerful?"

"So cool! It feels like a scene from a martial arts movie. I want to get my hands on a sword and play with it too."

"There are differences even among extraordinary individuals! Brothers, these guys won, shall we join them and get a living?"

A few ordinary people watched from a distance, their eyes filled with a mixture of fear and envy.

Further away.

Two extraordinary individuals stood by the second-floor window, observing.

A man in his thirties with bandages wrapped around his hand sighed, "Power-type supernatural abilities are still stronger! That slash just now gave me goosebumps."

"Once the situation stabilizes, your talent will be in high demand, and you'll be popular wherever you go." His companion patted him on the shoulder and laughed. "We won't get involved in any fighting or killing."

"Too."

The bandaged man nodded.

But his eyes remained fixed on the gleaming Tang sword, unable to look away.

He once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword, but fate was unkind, causing him to awaken his talent for "initiation".

The altar, in the center of the altar.

Wei Qian's smile froze.

In just one encounter, the silver-armored army he had personally crafted suffered broken swords, shattered armor, and dead men!

The bewilderment and shock in his heart caused his brain to shut down completely.

"good!"

Qin Xun let out a loud shout, greatly encouraged.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was distracted by Jiang Xiao's attack, Qin Xun made his move.

His scaled fist swung in a wide arc and struck the opponent squarely in the chest.

The sound of ribs breaking was clearly audible; the man coughed up blood and was sent flying backward.

"Brothers, kill!"

Qin Xun shook the blood off his hands and roared.

Seeing his own troops' morale wavering, Wei Qian quickly shouted, "Hold on! That last strike drained his strength; he can't possibly keep attacking! Charge side by side and take him down first!"

Before he could finish speaking, a figure stepped out from behind him.

The man's skin quickly turned dark green, his back bulged, and his shell extended from his shoulder blades, making him look like an alligator snapping turtle.

He carried a long sword and walked towards Jiang Xiao, saying, "Bless him with stone skin, let me have a go at him."

He was quite confident in his defensive capabilities.

With the Stone Skin technique combined with his innate armor talent, he was wearing double heavy armor, making him virtually unbreakable by anyone in the team.

Jiang Xiao also set her sights on him.

The two are in opposition.

Amidst the flashing blades, the armored man stopped in his tracks.

His long sword was raised high, but he hadn't had time to bring it down yet.

A thin line appeared on his neck, and then his head slid off, blood gushing out.

Wei Qian's side was completely panicked.

After becoming extraordinary individuals, they consider themselves superior and enjoy the praise and worship of ordinary people.

For many, this was the first time they had ever witnessed such a bloody scene.

One of the superhumans simply threw down his weapon and raised his hands: "We surrender! The altar is yours, we're done fighting!"

Jiang Xiao ignored him.

"Eliminate evil completely, kill!" he shouted, raising his knife and charging towards the next target.

"I surrender! Don't kill me—" someone begged for mercy.

"Get out of here! Go now!" Someone turned and ran.

Some people, their eyes red with rage, shouted, "Let's fight them!"

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle.

It could be described as one-sided suppression.

Jiang Xiao's side was in high spirits, while the enemy was in complete defeat.

Qin Zhi'en transformed into a white tiger, with all four paws on the ground. She was even larger than a real tiger, with white fur all over her body, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

She roared and charged at the fleeing crowd.

Perhaps the white tiger was too conspicuous and eye-catching, or perhaps her pursuit had driven those people to desperation.

Qin Zhi'en suffered the most attacks.

Several vines sprouted from the cracks in the ground and entangled the white tiger's hind legs.

Another superhuman raised his hand, and several ice arrows condensed in the air and shot towards the white tiger.

The white tiger broke free of the vines, but the ice arrow was already upon it.

Jiang Xiao charged in from the flank, slicing the ice arrow in half with a single strike. He then swept the blade horizontally, forcing back the superhuman who had summoned vines.

"Be careful, don't rush too far ahead."

He muttered something under his breath and charged toward the superhuman who was releasing the ice spikes.

the other side.

Qin Xun and Pan Qiaoyun worked together very well.

Pan Qiaoyun first used Wind Chains to bind the limbs of a superhuman, rendering him unable to move. Qin Xun rushed forward, his scaled right claw piercing through the man's chest.

He withdrew his hand, and the man's body slumped to the ground.

The battle lasted less than ten minutes.

Of the ten extraordinary individuals on Wei Qian's side, more than half were killed or injured.

Wei Qian also ran away.

After shouting the slogan to charge forward, he quietly retreated behind the crowd.

He was accompanied by Lin Wanyi—the woman who could perform the Stone Skin Technique.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Wei Qian shouted loudly into the sky.

A strong wind swept by.

A man with wings on his back swooped down from mid-air.

His wings were large, with a wingspan of over two meters, and the fleshy membrane was dark red, like the wings of a bat.

Xie An swooped down.

Grabbing Wei Qian by the back of his collar with one hand and holding Lin Wanyi with the other, he flapped his wings forcefully, taking the two of them into the air.

Jiang Xiao killed another person, then looked up at the departing black figure, his brows furrowed.

Qin Xun, panting heavily, rushed over and laughed, "Brother Jiang, the altar is now ours!"

"The leader ran away!"

Jiang Xiao felt uneasy.

The appearance of Xie An made him realize that the other party might be the real person in charge of the team.

Moreover, the two people he took with him were amplifying his strength and increasing his defense.

If given time, training another Silver Armor Army would likely be a significant problem.

Now that we've formed a grudge, we must nip it in the bud!

"You guard the altar. Qin Zhi'en, come with me to chase after them." Jiang Xiao was unwilling to let them go.

He leaped onto the white tiger's back.

The white tiger shuddered, turned its head to look back, its eyes filled with ferocity.

Jiang Xiao slapped them and shouted, "Quick, chase them! Don't let them get away!"

His tone was serious and left no room for refusal.

The white tiger gave him a deep look, and finally gave in, using all its strength to chase after Xie Anfei in the direction he had gone.

Pan Qiaoyun watched the departing figures of the man and the tiger, and said in surprise:

"Why is Ji-eun being so obedient today?"

"Last time I tried to pet the tiger's fur, she yelled at me. But today she's actually letting me ride her?"

Qin Xun's face darkened: "How dare you speak like that?"

He was also puzzled.

My sister usually won't let anyone touch her, why is she acting like this today?

But on second thought, Jiang Xiao's departure actually created convenience for him.

He glanced around.

Now that they have just taken over the altar, their power is at its peak, making it the perfect time to recruit more people.

"Clean up the bodies, and move the wounded aside," Qin Xun ordered. "Prepare to welcome the new bride."

-

-

Man flies in the sky; tiger chases on the ground.

Xie An managed to escape with the two men, albeit with some difficulty.

He flapped his wings desperately, but his strength was being rapidly depleted.

Wei Qian looked down and saw the white tiger chasing closely behind, and the man with a knife on the tiger's back. He was both shocked and angry.

He yelled, "Chase them! Chase them! Are you crazy?! We've already given them the altar, why are you still chasing them?!"

Xie An snapped, "Shut up!"

He glanced at the white figure below, feeling extremely annoyed.

It took a lot of persuasion to convince the extraordinary individuals to invest all their savings in ordinary people to form a silver-armored army.

They thought that with Wei Qian and Lin Wanyi's talent, they could become famous overnight.

Unexpectedly, all my hopes were extinguished with a single blow.

My talent is Flame Wings.

In addition to being able to fly with these large, fleshy wings, they can also summon fire attacks.

But seeing Jiang Xiao's ferocity and meeting his cold, indifferent gaze, he knew he had no chance of winning against her.

Moreover, both Wei Qian and Lin Wanyi possess support-type talents and cannot offer much assistance in combat.

He had no choice but to run.

on the ground.

Jiang Xiao kept an eye on Xie An's movements and occasionally gave Baihu directions.

Currently, there are no remote attack methods available; we can only wait for the enemy to land.

He felt he needed to improve this ability as soon as possible, otherwise he would still be at a disadvantage when encountering flying enemies in the future.

"Keep this speed and don't lose him," Jiang Xiao said, patting Baihu's neck. "He's carrying two people; he won't last long."

Qin Zhi'en remained silent, continuing to run.

They chased for another ten minutes or so.

Xie An felt as if his wings were filled with lead.

Each flap of the fan requires all one's strength.

He glanced down at Wei Qian, who was clinging to his lap, and then at the white tiger chasing closely below. He made a decision.

"Wei Qian, I'm sorry," Xie An said.

Wei Qian was stunned for a moment, then panicked: "What do you mean? What are you going to do?!"

"If we take you with us, we'll all die..." Xie An gritted his teeth. "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you in the future!"

Wei Qian's eyes widened, and she clung tightly to Xie An's leg: "No! Xie An! You can't do this!"

"I'm the one who recruited you! I'm the one who nominated you to be the leader! You can't..."

Xie An didn't let him finish speaking before taking out the dagger from his waist.

Wei Qian's face turned pale: "What are you trying to do? Xie An! You..."

He stabbed her with the knife.

The dagger pierced Wei Qian's forearm, and blood spurted out.

Wei Qian screamed, but his grip didn't loosen.

His will to survive made him grip Xie An's leg tightly, his ten fingers digging into the flesh like iron hooks.

Xie An then stabbed Xie An several more times.

Wei Qian's arms were covered in bloody holes, but his hands still didn't let go.

His face was covered in tears and snot, and he began to curse, "Xie An, you ungrateful wretch! You'll die a horrible death!"

Xie An was enraged and cut off three of Wei Qian's fingers with a single stroke.

Ten fingers connected to the heart.

Wei Qian screamed in agony, his body swaying precariously.

He held on for three more breaths before finally losing all strength and falling from the sky.

"Xie An, you'll suffer a terrible death! I'll be waiting for you in hell!"

Wei Qian cursed venomously.

Lin Wanyi looked in the direction where Wei Qian had fallen, and her lips trembled slightly.

"Xie An, put me down... too," she said calmly.

Xie An panicked: "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense! I won't abandon you!"

"Your stamina is almost at its limit. If we get caught, we're all going to die," Lin Wanyi said.

"No!" Xie An's voice was almost a roar. "I said I would protect you!"

He tried to flap his wings, but the frequency was getting slower and slower, and the altitude was slowly decreasing.

If you continue to take Lin Wanyi with you, both of you will die!

He was struggling internally, and his pain was written all over his face.

Lin Wanyi sighed.

She married into the Xie family, and on their wedding night, her husband, drunk, accidentally fell from a building and died on the spot.

From then on, she was called a jinx.

Her husband's family thought she was a jinx, and her own family thought she was useless for not keeping the 88 yuan dowry.

Later, her parents forced her to remarry, wanting to collect another high dowry.

Disheartened and unwilling to become her parents' tool for making money, she has stayed in the Xie family for the past three years to take care of her in-laws and has not remarried.

She knew that Xie An had feelings for her.

However, ethical and moral principles, coupled with the fact that the other woman looked remarkably like her husband, caused her to feel a physical and psychological aversion.

After the disaster.

He took good care of himself throughout the journey.

Seeing Xie An struggling at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little moved.

She was about to jump down herself to give the other person a chance to survive.

Xie An descended rapidly and landed on the roof of a six-story residential building.

"Sister-in-law, hide first. I'll come back for you once I shake him off! I swear!"

"Believe me, I will definitely come back!"

Xie An raised his finger and made a solemn oath, then said:

"Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful, even if they find you, they wouldn't have the heart to kill you!"

"With just a little trickery, you're sure to survive!"

"Sister-in-law, you can understand me, right?!"

Lin Wanyi was taken aback and asked, "You want me to seduce him?"

Xie An put on a mask of pain. He had never even held his sister-in-law's hand, so of course he didn't want any other man to touch her.

But isn't there no other way?

"Sister-in-law, as long as I survive, I will come back to find you! I will never despise you!" Xie An said solemnly.

Lin Wanyi looked into his eyes and suddenly laughed.

She knew that there was great terror in the face of life and death.

She could understand Xie An's choice, but that last glimmer of hope was shattered!

Her parents were greedy and used her beauty to make money; outsiders were jealous and used her beauty to slander her; even her only decent brother-in-law was only after her looks.

She laughed at herself, naive and foolish!

There is no such thing as true love.

"No matter what humiliation you suffer, you must protect yourself first!" Xie An instructed.

Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "Yes."

From now on, she will only live for herself.

Seeing her radiant smile, Xie An felt a surge of warmth in his heart and couldn't resist stepping forward to kiss her.

Lin Wanyi raised her hand to stop him, her tone cold: "Uncle, please have some self-respect."

Xie An was furious and questioned, "Sister-in-law, haven't you known my feelings all these years? I've always respected you and never dared to cross the line. Now, I don't even have the chance to be intimate with you?"

Lin Wanyi shook her head.

"I really have no other choice! You saw how ruthless that man with the knife is. If he catches up with me, I'm doomed!" Xie An said bitterly.

Lin Wanyi nodded: "I know, you'd better run away quickly."

Seeing that she didn't know what was good for her, Xie An became angry and tried to force himself on her.

"They're catching up." Lin Wanyi pointed downstairs. "If you're not afraid of death, I can take off my clothes right now and have some fun with you."

Xie An's hand froze in mid-air.

In his memory, his sister-in-law was dignified and elegant, a near-perfect woman.

But those words just now felt very unfamiliar to him.

He looked at Lin Wanyi; her delicate features and fair skin made her even more beautiful and charming despite her disheveled escape.

After struggling internally, Xie An withdrew his hand.

Staying alive is the most important thing!

Once you become a superhuman, as long as you survive, you'll have no shortage of women throwing themselves at you.

"Take care of yourself."

Xie An said something and then took flight.

He couldn't help but turn around and look.

Lin Wanyi stood there, gazing at the rising sun, choosing not to see it off.

"That bitch!" he muttered angrily.

A short while later.

Jiang Xiao and Qin Zhi'en went up to the rooftop

Qin Zhi'en had returned to human form, her face flushed, and she was breathing heavily.

Jiang Xiao, carrying his Tang sword, walked to the edge of the rooftop, watched Xie An walk away, and sighed inwardly.

He still got away.

Hopefully, the next upgrade will include ranged attack capabilities!

Qin Zhi'en glanced at Lin Wanyi and asked Jiang Xiao, "What should we do with her?"

Jiang Xiao stared at Lin Wanyi, but hadn't spoken yet.

Lin Wanyi turned around and did something unexpected.

She knelt down facing Jiang Xiao.

Then she kowtowed, her buttocks raised high, her posture humble yet alluring.

"Lin Wanyi, her innate talent is 'Hou Tu' (Earth God)."

Her voice trembled slightly, but her words were clear: "I am willing to serve Young Master Jiang in the future."

Finally, he looked up at Qin Zhi'en beside him and added:

"If Young Master Jiang spares my life, Wanyi is willing to be Young Master Jiang's second mount!"

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Qin Zhi'en: "???"

Xie An, flying in the distance: "!!!"
