With that in mind, Wu Zhangkong spread open his wings and sped directly toward Dark Hummingbird with a ice-cold aura around him.

In contrast with Wu Zhangkong, who recognized Dark Hummingbird right away, Dark Hummingbird failed to recognize Wu Zhangkong.

Compared to back then, Wu Zhangkong had grown up, and he was encased in his suit of four-word battle armor.

Dark Hummingbird had just forced back a powerful being from the Spirit Pagoda and was about to pursue his opponent when he sensed an extremely cold aura lock onto, and he reflexively turned to see the approaching Wu Zhangkong.

Sky Frost Dragon Ice was a pristine white suit of battle armor, and Wu Zhangkong had specifically requested for this color from Tang Wulin as it had been Long Bing's favorite color.

She had once expressed a yearning to Wu Zhangkong for all people to be as pure and pristine as ice and snow.

Wielding his blue longsword and wearing his suit of four-word battle armor, not only was Wu Zhangkong giving off an extremely powerful aura, he was also breathtakingly handsome, to the point that even Dark Hummingbird felt slightly dazzled at the sight of him.

"Do you remember me, Dark Hummingbird?" Wu Zhangkong asked in a cold voice.

Dark Hummingbird faltered slightly upon hearing this, and a hint of befuddlement appeared in his eyes, but he quickly retreated while keeping up his guard.

He was a rank 98 Hyper Douluo with only a suit of three-word battle armor, while this man was clearly wearing a suit of four-word battle armor.

Under the enhancement of the four-word battle armor, this man's powers definitely wouldn't be inferior to his own.

"Who are you?"

Wu Zhangkong's eyes gradually turned bloodshot as he roared, "Who am I? Do you remember the daughter that you killed with your own two hands?"

Dark Hummingbird faltered slightly upon hearing this, but he then finally recalled who Wu Zhangkong was.

"You're that little ice-sword-wielding rascal!" he exclaimed.

Wu Zhangkong tightened his grip around his Skyfrost Sword, and a frosty look appeared in his eyes.

Dark Hummingbird's eyes narrowed slightly as he scoffed, "Long Bing died for you, but you seem to be doing quite well for yourself; you've even got a suit of four-word battle armor. Looks like I shouldn't have spared you; I should've killed you right there and then!"

Wu Zhangkong pursed his lips tightly as the aura around him grew even colder. "Dark Hummingbird, have you ever repented for Long Bing's death? Even right before she died, she was still begging me not to avenge her just because you're her father."

A hint of barely detectable emotion flashed through Dark Hummingbird's eyes upon hearing this, but that quickly disappeared. "She was an idiot! If you had come to me to seek revenge earlier, you wouldn't be standing before me right now; you'd already be a corpse, and I would've been spared a lot of trouble."

Wu Zhangkong murmured to himself, "Long Bing, do you see now? This man has no remorse, nor any redeeming features. He has no right to be your father; he brought you into this world, but all he gave you was pain. As one of the four heavenly monarchs, countless innocent lives have perished by his hands. Even if it isn't for you, I'm going kill him today for the greater good."

As he was speaking, two streaks of light suddenly shot forth toward him with vicious intent.

Dark Hummingbird's weapons were a pair of sharp grey spikes that were laced with lethal poison; they were his martial soul, Bee Stingers!

He was an agility attack system Soul Master, and his forte was speed, which was why he had been given the nickname of Dark Hummingbird.

Wu Zhangkong's body suddenly took on an illusory appearance, and the two stingers flashed past the spot where he had been standing just a moment ago, but they struck only an illusion.

This was the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!

At the same time, a series of icy blue lines began to appear all over the battlefield.

These frosty lines formed a dense net in the sky, making it impossible for Dark Hummingbird to advance.

Assault system Soul Masters held an inherent advantage over agility attack system Soul Masters, and even setting that aside, Wu Zhangkong had never been slow.

Dark Hummingbird was moving at a high speed, and one frosty line after another was destroyed by his stingers, but he was also slowed down in the process.

However, as one of the four heavenly monarchs, he had extremely extensive battle experience, and he was able to make rapid adjustments on the fly.

Instead of forcing the issue, he was patiently searching for openings.

Wu Zhangkong slashed his Skyfrost Sword through the air, and a thin layer of icy mist began to disperse in all directions through the air.

Under the cover of the icy mist, the frosty lines seemed to have sprung to life and began to surge through the air like darting fish, making them more unpredictable, and they had also become more powerful.

A grim look appeared on Dark Hummingbird's face. It was clear to him that Wu Zhangkong was only using low-tier soul skills, but he was already able to utilize them to such great effect, which indicated that he was an exceptional Soul Master.

He withdrew his stingers, and a pair of transparent wings began to flap on his back amid a low buzzing sound.

Due to the vibrational soundwaves, the surrounding icy mist was unable to get close to him, and in the next instant, a cold look flashed through his eyes as soundwaves erupted around him, scattering the surrounding frosty lines as he shot forth through the air like a shooting star.

In the blink of an eye, he had already emerged from the frosty lines, and his pair of stingers were about to plunge into Wu Zhangkong's chest.

It was as if a turbo booster had suddenly appeared on his back, allowing him to accelerate at an incredible rate, even setting off a sonic boom in the process. The sound of the sonic boom had affected Wu Zhangkong's sense of hearing, and before he knew it, Dark Hummingbird was already upon him.

This was Dark Hummingbird's fifth soul skill, Gale Cannon, and it was also his favorite soul skill that could raise his speed to the very max in an instant, making it extremely useful for both attacking or fleeing.

Many Soul Masters could reach high speeds, but that required a process. However, Gale Cannon required no such process; it was able to instantly raise his speed to an incredible extent through soul power propulsion.

Wu Zhangkong had indeed been caught off guard.

During their last encounter, he had been too weak to force Dark Hummingbird into using any powerful soul skills. This soul skill was one of Dark Hummingbird's trump cards, and it was an ability that had won him countless battles.

In the face of this sudden development, Wu Zhangkong could only use his Skyfrost Sword as a shield.

The pair of stingers struck the Skyfrost Sword amid a crisp clang, and the tremendous force of the impact sent his Skyfrost Sword crashing back into the breastplate of his battle armor.

Wu Zhangkong gave a muffled groan as he shot back through the air, while Dark Hummingbird spun around to absorb the force of the impact before unleashing his fifth soul skill again, accelerating at close quarters on this occasion.

Wu Zhangkong had only been sent flying for less than 20 meters when Gale Cannon was unleashed a second time, and Dark Hummingbird arrived before him again in the blink of an eye, stabbing his stingers viciously toward Wu Zhangkong's eyes.

For a battle armor master, the most vulnerable part of their body had to be their eyes.

This was Dark Hummingbird's true objective from the very beginning, and following that last clash, Wu Zhangkong's sword-wielding right arm was already completely numb. Even though he was quickly recovering feeling within the arm, his opponent was far too fast, and there wasn't enough time to fully recover.
