179: Chapter 179 The Reaper, Immune to Physical Damage?!

"Since you like ice so much..."

Xia Mo lifted her head, a look of decisive ruthlessness flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She gripped her blade with a reverse hold.

sword name was thrust violently into the ground!

"Frost Limitless—Eternal Permafrost!!"

Whoosh—

With the blade as the center, a deep blue storm of extreme cold instantly swept outwards!

As far as the eye could see,

whether it was the vehicles, the screaming thugs, or the bullet casings spinning mid-air, everything was hit with a pause button at that second.

Crack, crack, crack... The hundred-meter-long street turned into a crystal-clear, yet deathly silent and frigid graveyard of ice sculptures.

Even the distorted terror on the mercenaries' faces was perfectly preserved within the ice layers.

"Phew~~"

Xia Mo knelt half-collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.

The violent movements caused the collar of her tight leather suit to open slightly, revealing a breathtaking glimpse of snowy skin.

Her face was pale, yet she stubbornly looked toward the man on the throne immediately.

"Chen Du... it's all cleared out."

"Yeah, well done."

Chen Du had flickered to her side at some unknown moment.

He took off his suit jacket and draped it over Xia Mo's slightly trembling shoulders.

As his warm body heat enveloped her, Xia Mo's body softened, and she leaned into the embrace that made her feel safe.

"Don't make such a big scene next time; it's a pain to recycle everything," Chen Du said, pinching her cold little face.

"Captain! There's still me! Shouldn't half the MVP go to me?!"

Lin Keke scurried over.

She pointed at her ponytail, which had been singed by the blast's aftershocks, looking like she was about to cry from grievance. "My hair is ruined! This was a limited edition high-end custom wig! You have to compensate me!"

"Compensate, compensate. When we get back, I'll have Liu Ting cook ten pounds of crawfish for you until you vomit," Chen Du replied dismissively.

Suddenly,

his playful gaze abruptly turned cold.

Chen Du slowly looked up toward the depths of the icy plain ahead.

The only anomaly

was a command vehicle as black as ink.

Amidst the Eternal Permafrost that could freeze steel, it was actually unscathed!

Not a single speck of ice frost was even on the window glass!

Clap, clap, clap... Slow, crisp, and arrogant applause drifted out from inside the vehicle.

Each beat felt like it was stepping on everyone's heartbeat, causing a stifling nausea.

Chen Du narrowed his eyes, the gold liquid boiling within his golden eyes.

Tyrants Gaze fully activated!

This scent... felt very familiar.

Creak—

The car door slid open.

A man wearing an exquisite tailcoat and a white faceless mask floated out, defying gravity.

That's right, he floated.

His feet were half a meter off the ground, hovering in mid-air.

The eyes hidden in the darkness beneath the mask held a cold indifference that looked down upon ants.

"S-Rank Talent, truly stunning!"

The masked man hovered, critiquing the frozen sculptures like a connoisseur. "Explosive power is a perfect score, and the crowd control isn't bad either."

"It's just a pity that using such an ultimate move to clear out fodder is like using a nuke to kill mosquitoes—too crude."

Xia Mo struggled to stand up but was pressed down by Chen Du's hand on her shoulder.

Chen Du didn't pay attention to the other's critique.

Instead, he pulled a cigarette pack from his pocket and shook out a cigarette, placing it in his mouth.

"I was wondering why you looked so familiar."

"What, you couldn't outbid me at the auction, so now you're planning to just take it by force?"

As soon as he said this, Lin Keke and Xia Mo were both startled.

The auction? That mysterious competitor?

"The broke loser who couldn't even cough up eight million... that was you, right?"

Chen Du held the cigarette between his fingers and pointed at the masked man.

His tone was full of mockery. "Dressing up like a ghost in the middle of the night... what, are you afraid the aura of the Evil God on you will stink everyone out?"

From the moment this guy appeared, the sacrifice notebook began to warn him frantically.

That cold, obscure, and nauseating aura was exactly the same as what he had felt at the auction house!

This was a lackey of the Evil God!

The masked man in mid-air paused slightly.

Then,

he let out a low chuckle and performed an elegant gentleman's bow in the air.

"As expected of the legendary God Du, your nose is sharper than a dog's!"

The masked man admitted it openly, his tone carrying a confidence that suggested he was in total control.

"That's right, from the moment you spent a fortune at the auction, you were already on my list."

"Allow me to introduce myself. You can call me Reaper."

"Of course, I prefer another title—the World's Scavenger."

Chen Du sneered. "Scavenger? I think you're more like a fly in a trash can."

"Say what you will."

Reaper shrugged, his tone turning frigid. "Originally, I wanted to give you a dignified death after the auction, but unfortunately, you just had to flex your muscles."

"Chen Du, do you really think having a little girl who plays with bows and arrows evacuate with the other women was a brilliant tactic?"

Chen Du's fingers paused slightly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how naive."

The voice beneath Reaper's mask was filled with thick malice. "To tell you the truth, my other Hunting Squad has been waiting at the pier for a long time."

"Those delicate little girls... tsk tsk, I'm afraid they've already been broken by now, haven't they?"

Boom!

A terrifying killing intent instantly erupted from Chen Du!

But a deep blue afterimage was even faster than him!

"Shut up!!"

Xia Mo's eyes were blood-red; her concern for her sister made her overdraw her last bit of physical strength!

Shadow Evasion activated!

Without any wind-up, she disappeared entirely!

The next instant, she appeared behind Reaper like a ghost!

This strike was fast to the extreme!

The air didn't even have time to let out a sonic boom!

sword name, carrying an extreme cold capable of freezing the soul, slashed violently toward the masked man's neck!

"Die!"

However—

a bizarre scene occurred.

No blood sprayed, and no head rolled.

The sharp longsword passed through Reaper's neck without any resistance, as if cutting through a mass of air or a phantom!

Where the blade had passed, there was no flesh or blood, only a mass of distorted light and shadow slowly writhing and mending itself.

"Wha...t?"

Xia Mo's pupils constricted.

The excessive force caused her center of gravity to lean forward.

Did she miss?

No! It passed right through!

"Too slow."

Reaper did not turn around.

As the light and shadow solidified, a playful voice exploded directly in Xia Mo's mind: "Or rather... you're too reckless! Physical attacks are useless against me!"

Without any visible movement, his white-gloved finger flicked backward lightly.

An irresistible, invisible repulsive force slammed hard into Xia Mo's abdomen!

"Ugh!"

Xia Mo let out a muffled groan as her delicate body was sent flying, crashing violently into a shipping container over ten meters away!

Boom!

The iron plating dented, and dust filled the air!

"Cough... cough cough..."

She clutched her chest, a trace of crimson spilling from the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief.

That strike clearly landed! Why?!

"Physical immunity?! Are you kidding me!"

Not far away, Lin Keke was dumbfounded.

The tactical goggles on her face flashed red, with strings of garbled code jumping across the lenses: [Warning! Target has no physical entity detected! Unable to lock on!]

"Isn't this fucking cheating?"

Seeing her sister injured, she completely lost her temper.

Lin Keke grabbed a Gatling gun from the ground and unleashed a wild bombardment at the ghostly figure!

"I don't believe it! Die! Die! Die!!"
