The blood seeping from the bald man's abdomen spread steadily. He pressed his hand to his stomach in disbelief.
He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but could only cough up two mouthfuls of blood.
"Cough… cough… pfft!" The bald man spat a mouthful of blood and then collapsed to the ground.
At the same time, the terrifying figure of the demon silently appeared in front of him.
The demon opened its monstrous mouth, and a hoarse, demonic whisper emerged from its blood-red maw:
"Don't worry. You won't die just yet. You can hold on for a few more minutes."
The bald man could barely respond, blood filling his mouth, only able to utter incomprehensible sounds.
He lay on the ground in terror, watching the demon draw closer.
Meng Ran extended his hands toward the bald man, and venom oozed from him, transforming into countless threads that wrapped around the man.
Earlier, the gigantic lightning-infused slash had been a new move Meng Ran had developed himself.
He had incorporated his electrical power into his blade technique, greatly increasing its speed and destructive power.
Meng Ran named this lightning-infused sword technique "Thunder Cut", which would also become the foundation for his future sword skills.
Looking at the bald man wrapped in a black cocoon, Meng Ran used his venom to possess him while simultaneously searching through his memories.
Although the bald man's brain would eventually self-destruct, Meng Ran still wanted to try to find any critical clues in those few seconds.
Although Liu Xiu had already regained his memory, this S-class superhuman clearly had access to much more information.
As a top-tier combatant of the Monster Corporation, he would have knowledge of the company's core operations and data.
Meng Ran quickly combed through the man's memories while possessing him.
"Pop!" A faint sound came from inside the black cocoon, interrupting Meng Ran's memory search.
As before, the usual routine: once Meng Ran accessed their brain, the embedded chip would activate its self-destruct protocol.
Within a few seconds, the brain would be reduced to mush.
The bald man's brain was blown to pieces, and his life force rapidly declined.
Meanwhile, Meng Ran's venom had completed the possession and returned to him.
Looking at the bald man, now just a corpse, Meng Ran swiftly used his corpse-dissolving fluid to turn him into a wisp of blue smoke.
His movements were clean and practiced, something he had done countless times and would likely do many more in the future.
The poor bald man didn't even leave behind a name before being completely erased.
After dealing with the corpse, Meng Ran focused on sensing the locations of the others.
Since he had dispatched the bald man quickly, Gwen and the others likely hadn't finished their battles yet.
At this moment, Gwen, Harry, and Peter were each engaged in fights in three different locations.
Following Meng Ran's instructions, Harry realized that the battlefield with the singer was farther from Peter and the magician.
After locating everyone, Meng Ran decided to first help Harry finish off the singer.
Retracting his focus, he teleported swiftly to Harry's location.
On a dirt mound, Harry's fight with the singer was nearing its end.
Harry had jumped down from his flying device and was now engaging in close combat with her on the ground.
The singer maintained her usual cold demeanor, though now tinged with helplessness and exhaustion.
At first, Harry had circled around her with his flying device, occasionally attacking with pumpkin bombs and firearms.
Since his attacks were fairly predictable, the singer had been able to dodge them and hadn't seemed too troubled.
But once Harry ran out of bombs, he leapt down for close-quarters combat.
The singer, already not particularly skilled in melee and heavily injured, immediately struggled against Harry's relentless assault.
If Harry had engaged her in close combat from the beginning, the fight might have ended much sooner.
This misjudgment was Meng Ran's fault. He had underestimated both the singer's and Harry's abilities.
Meng Ran thought Harry could take her out with just bombs and weapons, but the singer had other ways to counter heat-based attacks.
For example, a single powerful scream could deflect both pumpkin bombs and bullets.
With weapons ineffective and bombs spent, Harry had no choice but to fight her up close.
His training paid off: the singer was soon overpowered.
Finally, after kicking her away, Harry fired a taser net from his arm, knocking her unconscious.
As Harry finished the fight, Meng Ran arrived.
Seeing that Harry had handled it alone, Meng Ran nodded with approval.
Previously, Harry had been the weakest among them, but now, though still the weakest, his strength had increased significantly.
Seeing Meng Ran, Harry smiled: "Looks like you already handled the bald guy. I thought he might last longer—he was an S-class, right?"
Meng Ran shrugged: "Just a slightly upgraded turtle, nothing more."
"By the way, this woman's ability… is it now or later?" Harry asked, referring to the unconscious singer.
Harry knew about Meng Ran's special ability—it was top-secret within the Hexagram League.
For a comrade in battle, Meng Ran saw no reason to hide it.
Even if enemies deduced his ability, it wouldn't matter—they still couldn't beat him.
Meng Ran studied the unconscious singer for a moment, then said: "Take her with us. Gwen and Peter have likely finished their fights. Let's meet up with Xiu."
Seeing how quickly Harry had dealt with the singer, Meng Ran realized that the Hexagram League was now much stronger than before.
Through long battles and training, everyone had significantly improved.
Peter and Gwen had likely already finished their own fights as well.
