My Nascent Soul Ran Away Again - Chapter 201: I’m Truly Not a Taboo Master
With a final splatter, the last bloom of blood erupted.
A Special Operations agent stood with his blade drawn.
The beach was strewn with the lifeless bodies of mermaid-like creatures.
Yet, the protectors of Ancheng bore no relief on their faces.
For midnight had arrived.
A silent bell tolled, the sea fog churning as if invisible hands were parting it.
Waves surged, and a massive, dark shape rose from the sea.
Countless black arms, tangled like seaweed, dense and matted, formed a blanket. The arms, decaying and soft as mud, intertwined with each other. Among these arms lay pale, lifeless heads, mouths agape in a piercing wail that scattered the fog.
Under an unseen force, the creature known as “Hydra” slowly ascended.
Li Suifeng’s throat constricted painfully, even from a distance. The mere presence of this beast sent chills down his spine, rendering him immobile.
At that moment, a brilliant light shone above the heavens.
Before everyone appeared a majestic figure, clad in golden armor, wielding a silver spear.
“Golden Armor and Silver Spear… It’s the War God Mu Feng!”
Inside the official car of the Inspection Division, Little Zhang was visibly excited.
The catastrophe thirty years ago had brought not just pollution to the world, but also extraordinary powers.
Superhumans, with unique abilities, emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain government squads, conglomerate organizations, supernatural families…
Society itself was subtly transforming.
And the eight beings who stood at the pinnacle of Dayan, were revered as “War Gods.”
This was Dayan’s term. In the Eastern Continent, such formidable beings were also known as Saints or Gods Among Men.
Their power could move mountains, change rivers’ courses… A single individual could rival a nation!
“With War God Mu Feng here, there shouldn’t be any issues.”
Little Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
Named “Mu Feng,” this War God was ranked among the top three mightiest in Dayan.
His golden armor and silver spear were no ordinary items but special treasures obtained from the Forbidden Realm.
“War God Mu Feng has been undefeated for ten years…”
Little Zhang’s eyes gleamed with admiration, clearly idolizing him.
“First, let’s contact the team in the city.”
Li Suifeng didn’t share Xiao Zhang’s optimism. His expression was slightly grave as he said, “Among the Taboo Masters confirmed so far, Hydra was the earliest to appear but never acted. This is its first true descent into our world…’
As the head of Ancheng’s Inspection Division, Li Suifeng, although not a superhuman, bore the responsibility of external operations. The Tianshu Administration had prepared a contingency plan; if they couldn’t stop these malevolent beings from beyond, they would evacuate the city’s residents as swiftly as possible.
“Chief, it’s been thirty years since these strange incidents started. Counting from the first monster attack recorded by the Tianshu Administration, it’s been twenty years,” Little Zhang inquired.
“Ten years ago, superhumans surged forth, marking the start of the ‘Golden
Era’. Now, Dayan has its own team of superhumans. Even when facing the
Taboo, we have the strength to fight.”
He paused, then asked, “Why hasn’t the Tianshu Administration publicly disclosed the arrival of the Taboo yet?”
Li Suifeng fell silent for a moment before replying, “It should be soon.” He didn’t elaborate on Little Zhang’s question.
As they conversed, the War God Mu Feng, clad in golden armor and wielding a silver spear, had already engaged Hydra in battle. He walked on air as if it were solid ground, stirring boundless winds and clouds with his spear.
Countless arms waved, emitting a fog laden with corrupting power from Hydra’s body. Blisters emerged on its body, bursting like popping beans, releasing the fog.
Mu Feng’s golden armor shone, tearing and dispelling the fog, then he thrust his spear into the void. A white burst of energy exploded from the spear’s tip, creating a sonic boom. Concentrated superhuman power gathered at the spear’s tip, and as he thrust, a dazzling light shone from the weapon.
The sharp silver light tore through the sea fog, piercing directly into Hydra’s body. Hydra shuddered, its countless faces screaming in agony, rage, and malice – a torrent of negative emotions.
The spectators felt a surge of joy, knowing that War God Mu Feng had inflicted effective damage.
Mu Feng advanced, his spear raining down like a storm. Hydra, like a torn blanket, wailed continuously.
For the members of the Special Operations Division and Inspection Division, the enemy’s pain was a reassuring sign. However, the War God Mu Feng felt differently in battle.
Each of his attacks harmed Hydra but wasn’t fatal. What worried him more was that his spear was gradually becoming less effective. Hydra was adapting to his attacks!
Mu Feng’s heart tightened. Deciding not to hold back anymore, he aimed for a quick resolution. Stepping forward, an immense aura burst forth. Behind him, a huge projection coalesced, resembling Mu Feng, holding a spear, towering and penetrating the heavens.
“That’s War God Mu Feng’s battle spirit!” Xiao Zhang, a die-hard fan, immediately recognized the apparition. “To manifest the battle spirit… After all, facing a Taboo Master, the strength required is terrifying..”
