I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 663: Am I wrong?

She had assumed that once Wang Lan left the Wei Family, subduing the remnants of their power would be effortless. But she hadn’t expected the Tianjian Bureau to harbor another expert of such caliber besides Wang Lan.

Without the constraint of time, she was confident she could defeat Jiang Xinyu, but time was what she lacked most. And clearly, Jiang Xinyu was playing for time. From the moment they clashed, Jiang Xinyu had deliberately avoided direct confrontation with the mysterious woman.

Even if the mysterious woman’s speed and power doubled again, Jiang Xinyu still managed to maintain her rhythm and spar with her opponent. The countless Jiang Xinyu apparitions filling the sky steadily diminished, yet her attacks never faltered.

Seeing that Jiang Xinyu still couldn’t be defeated quickly, the mysterious woman flashed high into the sky.

The light around her body suddenly surged, as if another sun now hung in the sky.

Terrifying Star Power swept in, and Jiang Xinyu’s expression changed drastically. Her opponent was finally planning to use an area-of-effect Star Martial Skill to destroy the Wei Family. Jiang Xinyu could hold her own against the mysterious woman in combat, but she couldn’t block an attack of such absolute power.

Faced with such terrifying Star Energy Fluctuation, Jiang Xinyu had no choice but to hastily retreat.

The members of the Wei Family on the ground were instantly terrified, their faces pale. Who could survive such a horrific attack? Never mind the ordinary people who hadn’t awakened Star Martial Skills; even the two Titled Strongmen present would have no chance of survival.

"Lord Jiang, save us—" Wei Wuji shrieked.

If it were within her power, Jiang Xinyu would, of course, intercept this strike and save the Wei Family. But the power of this strike had already exceeded Jiang Xinyu’s limits. To intercept it, she would have to risk being killed. They weren’t Wang Lan. Why should Jiang Xinyu risk her life for them?

BOOM—

A terrifying Energy Ball appeared in the sky, hanging hundreds of meters high, as large as a wagon wheel. As the Energy Ball fell, it grew larger and larger, eventually transforming into a small asteroid nearly a hundred meters in diameter.

Forget the terrifying power of its explosion; even if the Energy Ball didn’t detonate and simply crashed down, it would be enough to obliterate the Wei Family.

"AH—"

Suddenly, space distorted, and the terrifying Energy Ball about to hit the ground vanished without a trace. It was as if its appearance had been nothing but a dream, an illusion.

"This is..."

A silver figure appeared above everyone’s heads, a silver-white cloak fluttering in the breeze. The Phoenix Saint Cloth glinted dazzlingly in the sunlight. Wang Lan appeared without warning, and just as suddenly, the mysterious woman’s attack vanished.

Suddenly, the space around Wang Lan twisted slightly, and his figure vanished in a flash. The mysterious woman in the sky hastily retreated, only to find Wang Lan appearing precisely where she intended to move.

The mysterious woman’s eyes hardened.

She had long heard that Wang Lan was one of the world’s foremost experts, with some rumors even suggesting he had surpassed the Five Emperors. Today, she would test if the legendary Wang Lan truly deserved the title of world’s number one.

A punch, swift and fierce like a shooting star, bore down on Wang Lan’s chest.

Wang Lan stood in the void, not moving an inch, allowing his opponent to throw the punch at him.

Seeing Wang Lan act so arrogantly, the mysterious woman felt a surge of anger, and scorn bloomed in her heart. So arrogant! It seems Wang Lan isn’t as formidable as they say.

True experts never make the mistake of arrogance or underestimating their foes. Anyone with such a mindset could never complete the transformation to become a top-tier expert.

The stronger one became, the more reverence one held for the heavens and the earth, for the world itself. Faced with any unfamiliar enemy, one would cautiously probe their true capabilities, planning carefully before acting.

You don’t even know the power behind this punch, yet you dare to take it so arrogantly? You’re courting death!

As these thoughts surfaced, the mysterious woman’s punch had already reached Wang Lan’s chest. Even at this moment, Wang Lan showed no sign of dodging.

"Go to hell!" a sharp female voice roared. The punch struck Wang Lan’s chest heavily, then the fist seemed to hit an illusion, passing right through his body.

Astonishment filled the mysterious woman’s eyes. She watched in disbelief as her body seemed to pass through an illusion, overlapping with Wang Lan’s form before moving through him.

An illusionary clone? Impossible! The Star Energy Fluctuation, the source of his aura—everything felt real. It couldn’t be an illusion!

This thought had just begun to surface in her mind when, BOOM—

A loud explosion erupted, and the mysterious woman felt a terrifying impact from behind. Wang Lan flipped in mid-air, delivering a punch with horrific force to the mysterious woman’s back.

The mysterious woman gasped, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her eyes wide with terror. She plummeted like a thunderbolt, crashing heavily into the ground.

CRASH! The earth cracked, and debris shot into the air.

Where the mysterious woman had fallen, a massive crater ten meters in diameter appeared. At the same time, Wang Lan’s figure shot down like a streak of light. The mysterious woman, ignoring her injuries, flashed and vanished from the crater.

BOOM—

The massive crater created by the impact doubled in size as Wang Lan’s punch gouged out a terrifying secondary depression.

The mysterious woman, now hovering in the air after dodging, felt her pupils constrict violently.

In a single exchange, Wang Lan had injured her. The mysterious woman, undefeated since mastering the Star Origin Flow, tasted for the first time the suffocating pressure of overwhelming power, the despair before such immense strength.

At this moment, only one thought remained in the mysterious woman’s mind: flee!

With a single thought, her figure vanished instantly. However, the mysterious woman’s escape method was merely high-speed movement. Compared to Wang Lan, who could utilize Space Movement, her speed, no matter how great, was far too slow.

Her vision blurred, and Wang Lan’s silver figure materialized before her. Instantly, her heart plummeted.

The mysterious woman gritted her teeth. Her form flickered, multiplying into several streaks of light that shot off in different directions. But suddenly, to her horror, she discovered space itself was distorting. No matter how fast she fled, it felt as if some spatial force was pulling her backward.

She whirled around abruptly, only to meet a pair of frigid eyes.

She had never seen nor heard of such eyes. Within their pupils, black windmills spun slowly, seeming to transform into a black hole that rapidly devoured space.

All four of her figures were ensnared by space, shrinking, twisting, and then being sucked into the black hole, vanishing without a trace.

Afterward, space continued to contort, twisting Wang Lan’s body into a closed loop. Then, he too completely disappeared from sight.

The sky above returned to clear serenity.

Wei Wuji and the others stared at the sky, bewildered. They had been able to follow the earlier battle, but ever since Wang Lan arrived, the fight had become incomprehensible.

"Where is this place?"

A beautiful, mature woman stood on the undulating surface of a sea, looking up at the sky with a confused expression. At this point, the mysterious woman was no longer a figure woven of light but a curvaceous woman in a form-fitting white suit, exuding a sensual allure.

"This is my world," a voice said from behind her. The woman jumped in fright, flashing backward in retreat. She didn’t know when Wang Lan had appeared and watched him with wary eyes.

Clad in the Phoenix Saint Cloth, which covered ninety percent of his body, Wang Lan’s aura was elevated to an unimaginable level. Anyone who saw this side of Wang Lan would feel an involuntary gasp of admiration from the depths of their soul. So handsome, unbelievably so!

"Stop being so defensive. This is my world. You’re not my match out there, and even less so here," Wang Lan said calmly, extending his hand and lightly snapping his fingers.

SNAP.

The surrounding sea transformed into a sandy beach, and a sofa materialized beside the woman.

"Please, have a seat. Let’s have a proper chat."

"Having mastered the Star Origin Flow, I believed my strength was top-tier, second to none. Now I see what a frog in a well I was... In front of the legendary you, I couldn’t even withstand a single move..."

"Don’t feel too bad. There aren’t many in this world who can take one of my moves."

"Would you like something to drink?"

"No need. Ask what you want to know. In their eyes, I’m probably already dead, right?"

"They? Who are they?"

"Paradise Bird!"

"You’re also with Paradise Bird?"

"I was taken in by Paradise Bird when I was four. So, it wouldn’t be wrong to say I’m one of them. I recall a United Nations directive: upon encountering the terrorist organization Paradise Bird, eliminate them on sight, no questions asked."

"No, the premise is ’if they deserve to be killed.’ Since you’re with Paradise Bird, what is your objective? What are your plans?"

"I don’t know."

Wang Lan paused, then chuckled softly. "Huh? Seeing your attitude earlier, I actually thought you were willing to cooperate and confess. It seems I was too naive."

"With your level of strength, you must be in the upper echelons of Paradise Bird, wouldn’t you say? And yet you tell me you don’t know?"

"I exist outside the main structure of Paradise Bird. They never allowed me access to any information concerning the organization, nor did they ever assign me any missions. For twenty years, my only task was to cultivate, grow stronger, and master the Star Origin Flow."

"Just that?"

"Just that. It’s only been a month and a half since I fully mastered the Star Origin Flow."

"What have you done for Paradise Bird?"

"A year ago, I was ordered to infuse the Star Power of the Star Origin Flow into a young man. After that, nothing more."

"Bai Shaoyu?"

"I don’t know his name."

"And then? Why did you annihilate the four great Star Martial Art families of Huzhou Province? Don’t tell me that wasn’t your mission?"

"It wasn’t. I killed them for revenge."

"Revenge?"

"My name is Zhang Xiannca, a tomb guardian of the Zhang Family. Our clan has protected the secrets of Master Zhang Lingxian’s lineage for generations, living in obscurity. However, twenty years ago, we were discovered by a group of Tomb Raiders.

According to our clan rules, anyone who discovered our secret had to be eliminated, roots and all. But that year, my mother was soft-hearted and spared a young man. It was because of that boy that our entire clan suffered annihilation."

"The four great families?"

"It wasn’t just the four great families. There were thirty-six individuals in total; the four families only represented half of that force. To seize the Star Origin Flow, they used ordinary people to extort confessions, brutally murdering over three hundred members of our clan—not even sparing the elderly, the weak, women, or children."

"So, you decided to wipe out the four great families, every last one of them? Also not sparing the elderly, weak, women, or children?"

"Confucius said: Repay resentment with uprightness. They slaughtered my entire clan; I slaughtered their entire clans. Is that wrong?"
