Lan Mu was still over a hundred kilometers away from the South Pole when an old man wearing a cyan mask drove a strange car in front of him, then got out of the car and spoke.
"Hello, Gabriel."
Lan Mu recognized this voice as Duan, Serial 05.
"It seems that you chose to stubbornly resist and refuse my good intentions. Protecting this world is also my idea, we don't conflict on this point. In fact, I can replace you in managing and controlling the anomalies on Earth, and you can also participate, provided that you sign a contract "Lan Mu said.
Duan nodded with a smile: "Such rhetoric is very attractive, we can discuss the details in detail"
Lan Mu was stunned and looked down: "Are you trying to stall for time? I know very well what choice you will make, you've already placed your hopes on Reinhardt, haven't you? I think he's currently crazily drawing fantasy weapons, trying to make up for the difference in quality with quantity? "
Duan replied: "We are fundamentally different from you, humans do not need to be kept in captivity"
"Give up, angel, a preacher will never yield. You can choose to kill me, but the iron doctrine will remain forever "
Lan Mu shook his head, he knew that CANC still cared about his identity.
"Forget it, I've already been lenient enough to you, no matter how you understand the Divine Right, you can't stop the general trend"
Lan Mu transformed into a magnificent sword and looked down from above. It was as if a mountain had fallen from the sky and was about to break the sword in half.
At the same time, Sarah suddenly appeared out of thin air, the thick saber in her hand met the greatsword.
An astonishing thing happened, the greatsword formed from energy was cut in half, the split sword slammed into the ice and created two large holes.
"Boom!"
After all, he wasn't directly hit, Duan was only sent flying by the aftershock, but he still stood up as if nothing had happened.
His mask blocked most of the damage at the moment he was attacked and became even dimmer.
This mask was given to him by Reinhardt, a Divine Artifact that would turn him into a Divine Body while wearing it, which could block most attacks.
However, Lan Mu's attack was so powerful that even the aftershock greatly reduced the duration of the mask's existence, about to disappear after one more attack.
He pointed at Sarah with his glove and said, "Fly!"
The next second, Sarah flew into the air. Oolong shouted, "Quick!"
Sarah pounced towards Lan Mu at the speed of sound.
"Interesting, Gaia was also silenced by him last time. This is a Language Spirit Anomaly …" Lan Mu thought to himself.
According to the information provided by Gaia, Oolong's gloves had a total of twelve Chinese characters, representing twelve different abilities.
They were: Silence, Stealth, Heal, Speed, Flash, Fly, Bind, Release, Counter, Burn, Explode, Thunder!
Although there were many abilities, they were not strong and could only last for a short period of time. However, they were very useful when used together with others.
Oolong shouted at Lan Mu, "Bind!"
"Burn!"
"Explode!"
"Thunder!"
Lan Mu first felt his body become sluggish, bound by an indescribable power. Then, he burst into flames and exploded.
There were even thunderbolts falling from the clear sky, crashing down on the top of their heads.
"What a powerful anomaly, but this level of attack is useless against me"
As Lan Mu broke free from the restraints, the parts of his body that exploded quickly recovered. Oolong's attack had only shaved off a small portion of his power of faith.
"Swoosh!" Sarah's sword could cut through all matter and energy. She easily cut open Lan Mu's body.
"I'm going to cut you to pieces!"
Sarah's Blade was extremely fast, preparing to cut him up to 180 times, but before her second slash could even reach Lan Mu, he had already dodged it.
Lan Mu instantly appeared behind Sarah, unleashing a barrage of scattered energy from his hand. Even if she could cut through the energy, she couldn't do anything about it.
If Oolong hadn't hurriedly used his Language Spirit Anomaly to teleport Sarah away, she would have died without a doubt.
"They're all decent anomalies, I'll find them a good new master"
After Lan Mu finished speaking, a golden light flashed and he landed on the ground, appearing behind Oolong.
He was too fast to react. Oolong's head had already hit the ground, he couldn't even teleport or heal.
He was killed on the spot, his body collapsing to the ground.
Lan Mu waved his hand to put the glove back into his Space Ring and turned his gaze to the others.
Of the two people from the future, only one came, the other was still hiding somewhere, both of them had to be killed.
The others might still have a chance to surrender, but Oolong and Otto had to be killed!
Sarah looked at Lan Mu in shock and gritted her teeth. The other party wasn't human at all, she was just a human, even if she had an indestructible anomaly, she was still too weak.
"Damn it, how am I supposed to fight this?"
She simply stood still, the two of them weren't even on the same level.
"Sarah, go back first, don't die for nothing!"
"Leave the rest to me!"
Duan shouted, then quickly bit his finger and smeared some blood on his crystal necklace.
The necklace around his neck released a white glow that enveloped Lan Mu.
The white glow caused both of them to disappear into an unknown domain.
At this point, Lan Mu was shocked to find that his Holy Light had been extinguished, he couldn't even sense the power of Faith, his mental power had been sealed, he couldn't even use the surging power in his body.
"How is this possible! Where's my mental power? "
"I can't even sense the anomaly …"
Lan Mu looked around. He had been pulled into a milky white space, there was nothing but whiteness around him, there was no sky or earth.
The only person in front of him was Duan, the rest was empty.
"Where is this?" Lan Mu asked.
Duan took off his clothes to reveal his strong muscles, his originally stooped body straightened as he answered: "The Domain of Balance"
"You can also call it the Duel Domain, a duel arena that only belongs to the two of us"
Lan Mu could roughly guess that this domain came from the necklace around Duan's neck, it pulled their strength into a state of balance and prevented him from using any additional power.
This was a different type of anti-magic, since Duan didn't have the power of Faith, Holy Light, or powerful mental power, Lan Mu couldn't use any of these powers.
"At this point, I can only use the power that you also have to duel with you?" Lan Mu asked.
Duan laughed: "That's right, this anomaly is called the Halo of Equality"
"It can pull your strength to the same level as mine, then I can use my abundant experience to defeat you"
Lan Mu's ring was gone, he couldn't contact his Space Ring, so he naturally couldn't take out any more anomalies.
His power had been suppressed to the same level as a human, creating a relatively fair duel.
This was an anomaly specifically made to deal with supernatural creatures or people like the Preachers.
"Tsk, I can only use the same level of power to deal with him. No wonder he told Tang Xiaohai that he had countless ways to defeat him, this Duan is basically the bane of anomalies!"
Lan Mu's expression was solemn. This was the first time he had been forced to lose his power, and it was a terrible feeling.
After switching forms, both the Vampire and Dante couldn't use the power in their bodies, their innate abilities were also cut off, which was hard to believe.
"Huh?"
Duan saw Lan Mu's golden pupils one moment, then white hair the next, and couldn't understand what was going on.
Lan Mu maintained his Dante form and didn't continue to transform. In this place, it didn't matter what he transformed into, as long as he couldn't use any abilities that the other party didn't have.
"You want to rely on this to defeat me? I might not be able to use any extra power, but my body isn't something that a human can harm "
Lan Mu didn't panic. Just because his power was suppressed didn't mean that the other party could break through his defenses.
This was fundamentally different from the other anomalies! Without their anomalies, those anomalies would be nothing more than ordinary people, but he wasn't the same. Without supernatural powers, his body alone was inhuman!
Duan was the bane of all anomalies, but not Lan Mu.
A human in his 70s or 80s wouldn't be able to kill creatures like Dante, the Vampire, and the angel.
Hearing Lan Mu's words, Duan spoke with his old voice: 「 I don't intend to defeat you, Gabriel 」
「 But in this place, I think I should be able to last for 10 minutes, right? As long as I don't take the initiative to stop the duel, one of us will have to die to leave this place 」
Lan Mu naturally knew the other party's goal, which was to stall him for as long as possible to buy time for Reinhardt.
He didn't need to ask to know that Reinhardt was madly creating weapons. This guy was a Holy Apostle, his willpower was unbelievably firm. Others didn't know how long Reinhardt could last, but he did. In theory, Reinhardt could keep going until he died!
If there were any anomalies that could kill Lan Mu, [Fantasy Right Hand] was one of them. Although the weapons he created would be very weak, not even a hundred or two of them would matter, thousands of them would be more than enough to make up for the difference in quality.
"This won't do! I can't let that madman Reinhardt continue, this guy isn't afraid of death! "
「 I have to get rid of this old man, he's not afraid of death either, he actually wants to use his life to stall me … 」
Lan Mu gave up on subduing these preachers. For others, he might be able to exchange their souls with their wishes, but preachers were all unwavering people, super diehards. Temptations like eternal life and becoming God were nothing in their eyes.
In their eyes, what they held fast to was dogma, the Way, so every country called them Defenders or Preachers.
Bang! Pa pa pa!
Ignoring his supernatural abilities, Lan Mu fought Duan purely with his physical body.
He didn't need to worry about himself, since the other party couldn't break through his defense anyway.
However, Duan very naturally pushed away Lan Mu's hand, and with a soft attack, he threw Lan Mu away.
「 This is … Tai Chi? 」
Lan Mu blinked his eyes and steadied himself, suddenly realizing why he said he could use his rich experience to defeat others.
「 Bullshit fair duel, he has all the power I can use, but I might not have what he has! 」
「 Dante's fighting instincts are suppressed, I can only use the techniques he also knows, but he knows the techniques I don't know, I'm really drunk. 」
However, Lan Mu didn't care if the other party knew a few more sets of fist techniques, since he couldn't hurt him anyway. In this place, Lan Mu was in an invincible position, and the final victory would only be him.
Duan was well aware of this, he knew he couldn't beat Lan Mu, but he had to accept the challenge.
He was now fighting Lan Mu in melee, which was equivalent to fighting a boss with the same stats as him but with a million HP.
And he was just an old man, even if his martial arts were superb, his physique was far inferior.
In order to buy time, he had to persevere, even if he was beaten to death … he had to die ten minutes later!
