Chapter 396: 362 Shadow Eater Two_2

A man and a bug paused for a moment.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the giant worm turned around and fled, as if there was something on Li Chengyi’s body that instilled in it an extreme fear.

It wasn’t the only one, on the bony road surface around, suddenly shadows rustled everywhere, fleeing rapidly from the Flames of Death Energy.

Clearly, they were all scared away by Li Chengyi, who was now approaching.

’Perhaps it’s the residual aura of the King of the Death Angels on me...’ Li Chengyi frowned.

"You... should not have come here..." Suddenly, a familiar voice, stammering, reached his ears.

Here, in the Black Sea, he could actually hear a voice clearly!?

Li Chengyi was shocked and looked around quickly.

Soon, on the bony road to his right, he saw a figure that was very familiar to him.

A tall man dressed in a grey, worn coat, wearing a hat, and his face wrapped in grey cloth, stood timidly on the road, looking this way.

His eyes were faintly visible through the two holes cut out of the grey cloth, the whites of his eyes riddled with bloodshot, exuding a thick sense of terror.

"You are... Geon!?" Li Chengyi never expected to encounter Geon here, whom he had met before.

This mysterious man had once, a long time ago, when he kept entering the Silent Store, come to stop him from continuing his actions.

But what he didn’t expect was that, here of all places, he would encounter him again.

This place... was the land of unknown giant carcasses. Shouldn’t the other man be affected?

"You have been... getting closer... becoming one of them..." Geon stammered, still with a tone of fear, speaking in Yi Country’s language.

"Who exactly are you!?" Li Chengyi asked with a frown and a grave expression.

Initially in the real world, when he saw the man, it was still normal, after all, there were individuals infected by the Blind Spot that existed in reality too.

But now, seeing him again here had a completely different significance.

"You’re continuously... getting closer... to them..."

Geon continued to speak.

"The world... is falling..."

"Everyone... will die..."

"Are you saying the power I’m absorbing will cause my world to fall?" Li Chengyi frowned.

"You can’t go on... The world... is sick..." Geon continued.

"Is it just me who can cause the entire world to fall?" Li Chengyi understood what he meant and asked in return.

"... you... are the last..."

"And then? I don’t believe that just my power alone will cause the whole world to be destroyed. So, the question arises, what about the other entities?

What about those whose influence far exceeds mine? Why aren’t you persuading them instead of coming to me?" Li Chengyi raised his eyebrow.

"Will die..." Geon stuttered.

"Ridiculous. You blame me for strengthening myself against the threat, instead of the Blind Spot that drove me to this step. Is that your logic?" Li Chengyi continued.

"Lan Meng... Lien... has redeemed... twice, you... will hasten the third... too late..." Geon struggled to explain.

"If I slow down, I’ll die!" Li Chengyi suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

"I don’t care about the third time! No one can stop my pursuit of strength! If it is me who brings about the third threat, then I will solve the threat!"

He spread his arms wide.

"Be it Lan Meng or Lien, I will surpass them."

"You...!"

Geon seemed to be enraged, he moved forward angrily, as if wanting to attack.

"You can roll out now!"

Li Chengyi waved his right hand, and a flurry of sharp Sword of Wisdom instantly struck him with the Flames of Death Energy.

The enhanced Flames of Death Energy, with its bone-chilling coldness and aura of death, instantly shattered Geon into countless pieces, dissipating into nothing.

’An illusion?’ Li Chengyi immediately realized that Geon could make him hear voices because it was some sort of illusion technique affecting his consciousness.

And the Seven Spirit Holy Technique was a technique specifically targeted against consciousness, so it had shattered it right away.

That was obviously the right move.

Sensing that the other party had completely disappeared, Li Chengyi sneered coldly.

"Nonsensical."

He strode forward, continuing to absorb and strengthen the death energy within his body.

The death energy bred from the unknown giant carcasses was far stronger than his own by far too much.

He had to seize this opportunity because he was sure that he wouldn’t be able to enter the City of the Death Angels later, and it would not be so easy and convenient to absorb death energy thereafter.

Death energy used purely for fighting was actually of limited effectiveness, but it was the cornerstone for his future creation of Imprint Orbs and for comprehensive research.

He had to store up a sufficient amount.

Reality·Tong City.

In a glittering and splendid luxurious hotel lobby.

At least a hundred people, with bewildered eyes and lost focus, were standing on the floor tiles.

They were neatly arranged in rows, silent and motionless, as if they had lost consciousness.

Beneath each person, the shadow was no longer human but a pitch-black apparition with the head of a crocodile and the body of a man.

At the deepest part of the hall, where the counter used to be, a large metal basin had taken its place.

The basin was filled with a viscous, oil-like black liquid.

A young man with black hair and golden eyes stood beside the basin, smiling as he watched the liquid churn.

"With blood as the guide and breath as the thread... come forth... my kin..."

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded from outside the hotel.

Aircraft whirred loudly as they flew around, and vehicles continually emitted the sound of urgent braking.

The sound of gunfire, footsteps, and loud commands.

Raucous noise came from outside the door.

"Attention to those inside, you are completely surrounded. Please lay down your weapons, cease resistance, and slowly come out with your hands up through the main entrance."

The loudspeaker’s voice trembled as it reached inside the hotel.

"Kill them," the black-haired, golden-eyed man glanced at the hundreds of people in the hall and commanded.

Instantly, all the shadows under their feet silently shot out, rushing towards the outside of the door.

Bang!!

The front door was blown open from the outside, and a man in a white robe with a silver and gold yin-yang symbol on his cheek led his team through the entrance.

"First Law Coordination: Heaven Turns Dual Forces."

The man’s right hand lifted slightly.

Buzz!

At that instant, a massive transparent distortion field centered on him roared to life, enveloping everything within sight.

The floor cracked and whirled, as if lifted and flung away by a giant hand.

The walls collapsed and exploded into countless fragments that scattered.

The approaching swarm of crocodile-headed shadows was immediately caught in the invisible distortion field and disintegrated in a burst.

The arrival was none other than the Yin-Yang Flying God Saber responsible for this area—Zhao Chengyu.

"A little trash, cleaning complete. Next up, it’s your turn." Zhao Chengyu glanced at the man with golden eyes standing by the basin, with the Tai Chi symbol on his cheek shining silver again.

Boom!!

The massive distortion field surged once more towards the golden-eyed man.

Unlike other Flying Yi Masters, Zhao Chengyu’s Feiyi was the yin-yang symbol embedded on his face.

That was his famous Yin-Yang Flying God Saber.

Everyone thought he used a saber, but in reality, his saber was invisible to ordinary people...

The vast distortion covered the distance across the hall in a fraction of a second, slamming fiercely onto the golden-eyed man.

Bang Bang Bang!!!

A series of impacts caused the area around the golden-eyed man to sink into the ground by several meters.

That section of space was wrapped by an invisible giant hand, which then squeezed tightly towards the center.

"Just die quietly," Zhao Chengyu said as he grasped with his right hand, summoning an invisible saber made of force fields into his palm.

"Second Law Coordination."

"Yin-Yang Luo Shen..."

Invisibly, behind Zhao Chengyu, numerous black and white light spots coalesced into a towering, three-meter tall woman dressed in black gauze with pale skin.

The woman’s figure was graceful, her face veiled in white, and she wielded an exaggerated, five-meter-long Chopping Knife.

Shick!!

In an instant, a flash of white light.

The woman transformed into a spectrum, appearing above the golden-eyed man, slicing down from midair!

Clang!!!

This terrifying strike, surpassing fifteen times the speed of sound and powerful enough to bisect a hundred-story building, was aimed right in front of the golden-eyed man but was instantly caught precisely by his suddenly raised right hand.

Zhao Chengyu’s pupils constricted.

’Impossible!!!??’

He raised his right hand, preparing for his next move.

Shick Shick Shick Shick!!!

In an instant, a dense series of explosive streams and sonic booms erupted from where the blade struck, forming concentric semitransparent ripple circles.

The ripples cut through everything around them, cleaving through walls and ripping open the hotel building, flying outward.

The thirty-plus-story hotel began to slowly tilt and collapse at that moment.

Meanwhile, the protective force fields set up around it only lasted a moment before shattering.

The nearby residential buildings, shopping malls, and office buildings were also sliced at the base by the ripples and began to tilt.
