Upon catching sight of Hua Changle, he realized what was happening and sneered, "What a good dog. Does little Changle still remember you? You're so eager to come up to me."
Iris's fighting prowess extends beyond her physical abilities; her verbal skills are equally impressive, and she immediately retorted:
"Hey! I was wondering where this bug came from! It's you, you beast!"
"You framed my Le Bao and made him run away, and now you dare to come back and hurt people?"
"You've practically delivered yourself to my death! How could I possibly refuse your worthless life?"
Iris clenched her fists, and a purple-gold light surged around her:
"Give me your life!"
The purple-gold inscriptions shimmered in the wind of the fist, and an overwhelming momentum burst forth from the fist, like a cannonball rushing towards Lu Sheng.
Its speed and power were so great that Lu Sheng had no time to dodge.
Lu Sheng gritted his teeth, and his pure white alien energy surged wildly, shining brightly like a star in the night sky. A huge white phantom rose up behind him.
It was a huge white nine-tailed fox.
Nine long tails, comparable to those of ancient trees that blot out the sky, lashed forward, layer upon layer, forming an incredibly sturdy barrier.
Iris's fist slammed heavily onto the fox tail barrier.
"Get out of the way!" Hua Changle shouted, and Jiang Yuan rushed over to shield her behind him.
Big Head and his friends scrambled to the corner.
"boom--"
A tremendous roar and shockwave rippled hundreds of meters away, shattering almost all the walls of the surrounding streets, and illuminating the night sky with the light of supernatural power.
If the area hadn't been cleared of people beforehand, countless lives would have been lost by now.
Even from behind Iris, the aftershocks, which Iris intentionally controlled, caused Jiang Yuan, who was blocking Hua Changle, to have his blood boil and bleed from his mouth and nose.
Hua Changle was shaken, but even more so, he was excited.
This is a battle between ninth-tier beings!
This is the power of the ninth rank!
Although there is a significant difference between the eighth and ninth ranks, the actual abilities that can be displayed are by no means just a numerical difference.
The eighth rank represents the ultimate strength forged from flesh and blood.
The ninth level represents the sublimation of both body and soul, the pinnacle of human cultivation.
As for those at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm, they have already stepped into a realm that transcends the human body itself.
There are nearly a thousand eighth-order individuals in the world, but only a handful of ninth-order individuals.
From the eighth to the ninth rank, innate talent is the first absolute dividing line, effort and experience are the indispensable second, and comprehension, opportunity, and destiny are the third, which are even more difficult to come by.
The gap between the two is like an insurmountable chasm. Take Lu Sheng for example; all the eighth-tier beings here combined are no match for him. Yet Iris, also a ninth-tier being a powerful combat-type, can easily contend with him.
The purple-gold fist and the barrier formed by the nine tails shattered almost simultaneously.
Iris landed and immediately attacked again. Lu Sheng's face showed no change, but he staggered when he landed. It was clear at a glance who had suffered the loss in the previous attack.
Hua Changle glanced around. A firefight had broken out at the base. Because of the commotion, the Seventh District's enforcement team would likely arrive soon. Although they had been informed, such a large disturbance would surely prompt an investigation.
Their time is running out.
Iris and Rikuo were still fighting; to be precise, Iris was holding Rikuo down and chasing after him.
In no time, Lu Sheng was covered in dust and dirt. He suddenly stopped and rushed towards Hua Changle.
"Don't even think about it!"
Iris stomped heavily on her feet and flew close to the ground as she rushed over.
Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared on Lu Sheng, followed by a surge of dark green vines that blocked Iris's vision.
The vines disappeared, and two Flower Joys appeared before the iris.
Jiang Yuan was stunned. Just as his vision blurred, two Hua Chang Le appeared.
Iris was startled, forced to stop, her face pale.
"This is... [Formlessness]!"
Lu Sheng's special ability - [Formless].
It can simulate all the people and their supernatural abilities that Lu Sheng has ever seen, and unleash the power of Lu Sheng at his own cultivation level.
Hua Changle looked at "himself" beside her, but then she remembered the scene of the original owner looking at her, and got goosebumps all over her body.
But Iris's words also made her realize something: Rikuo has more than one superpower!
Aside from the innate ability to bewitch, which is not considered a superpower for the time being, there is a disguised "Formless" ability and another ability to use the nine-tailed fox's tail for offense and defense. That makes two abilities already!
However, since the Age of Natural Disasters, apart from the products of fusion, no one has ever possessed a second ability.
Could it be that Lu Sheng underwent a fusion experiment?
Iris looked at the two identical figures and hesitated to make a move.
The most wicked thing about Lu Sheng's [Formless] is that everything Lu Sheng has seen with his own eyes can be imitated, including the temperament and personality of the person being imitated.
"Le Bao!" Iris called out anxiously, and Jiang Yuan looked at the two of them, unsure of who to attack.
Lu Sheng looked at Hua Chang Le, who rolled her eyes and said to Iris, "My back hurts."
As soon as she finished speaking, Iris moved and threw a punch at Lu Sheng without hesitation.
Lu Sheng was startled and immediately dropped his disguise, retreating swiftly.
【Formlessness】is difficult to understand, but it also has a fatal flaw.
Lu Sheng can only pretend to know what he knows, but he cannot pretend to not know what he doesn't know.
Although Hua Changle never revealed what was on his back to Iris, after spending many days together, Iris had already noticed something amiss, but she never asked about it.
She struck first, and with a single sentence, she exposed Lu Sheng's pretense.
In a direct confrontation, Lu Sheng was not skilled in combat and was no match for Iris, who possessed the bloodline of the demon race.
At that moment, Hua Changle received a message from Hua Qingyun, followed by the flashing lights of a vehicle in the distance. The law enforcement team had arrived.
Hua Changle had a sudden thought and stepped forward. The dark green vines clung to the wall and suddenly approached Lu Sheng from behind.
Rikuo's nine tails bloomed behind him, and just as he was about to defend himself, Iris's fist arrived. Helpless, he could only use his nine long tails to block in front of him, and use his alien energy to form a barrier behind him to resist the vines.
"Bang!"
The barrier in front of him shattered, and the vines behind him were also as expected. They only managed to break through the hastily formed, weak barrier and lightly touched his body, without having time to use Devour.
Lu Sheng noticed the warning lights in the distance; things were not good in the dark.
He is still on the run. If he is discovered, the region will have a reason to send people to arrest him. He needs to get away as soon as possible!
Lu Sheng's figure flashed, and he suddenly transformed into a person completely wrapped in a black robe. Strangely, the next second, he simply disappeared!
Iris stopped and cursed.
"How did he disappear?" Hua Changle asked. She didn't sense any fluctuations in the spatial elements, which meant that Lu Sheng hadn't left, but she couldn't see him anywhere in her sight.
Iris came to her side and explained, "Lu Sheng's ability is to impersonate someone else and use that person's ability. He just impersonated one of the elders of the [God-Making Faction], 'Ghost'."
"The 'ghost's' ability is dark, and its ability to hide at night is extremely strong. Even I have a hard time finding it."
"Let's leave him for now and get out of here. The law enforcement team is coming," Hua Changle said.
