The mont Shen Lang stepped into the Yin Yang Inverted Qin Formation, the scenery changed drastically. A boundless white mist rushed toward him, and his eyes fell upon an extrely vast, endless world with no horizon.
The sky was completely blood-red, with no sun, moon, or stars.
The land was also entirely crimson. Not a single blade of grass or tree could be seen. A glance revealed the mountains scattered with the enormous skeletons of beasts. The landscape was shattered, like an ancient battlefield.
The chilling sense of danger and the silent, oppressive atmosphere were enough to drive anyone within it to the brink of madness.
’The Yin Yang Inverted Qin Formation is truly profound. It actually incorporates the Slaughter Realm and Death Realm into this Illusion Realm. And to think it’s remained perfectly intact after so many years... Getting out of here might take so effort.’
Looking at the scene before him, Shen Lang’s expression grew a little solemn.
"Who’s there!"
"Stay where you are and don’t move! Or don’t bla us for what happens next!"
The people from the Shadow Tower were clearly sensitive to the auras of humans and beasts. Even though they were a great distance away inside the Grand Array, separated by a boundless mist, they detected Shen Lang the mont he entered.
The four Bone Demons imdiately took up a formation in front of Shen Lang and roared fiercely.
Bone One: "My Bone Saber thirsts!"
Bone Two: "I crave the taste of fresh blood!"
Bone Three: "Kill them all! Loot them all... Eat them all!"
Bone Four: "Bone Four, here to pay a visit!"
This was the battle cry Nalan Ziyun had co up with for them as compensation after swindling them out of most of their Spirit Stones.
With just this one slogan, not only were the four Bone Demons no longer depressed, they were soon beaming with joy, prompting Shen Lang to curse them for being such idiots.
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
Shen Lang took a step forward and slapped them. "Damn it, you dare steal my spotlight? Are you tired of living?!"
After being slapped to the ground, the four Bone Demons quickly scrambled back up. They sheepishly resud their previous poses but didn’t dare to speak again.
The group from the Shadow Tower was in the middle of a bloody battle. When they suddenly saw a man in an Evil Ghost Mask approaching with four Bone Demons exuding an astonishing aura, they imdiately went on high alert.
"Halt! Identify yourself!"
One person from the Shadow Tower’s team stepped out from the fray. His pale cyan dagger, glinting with an eerie light, was pointed at Shen Lang.
A black-clothed man in an Evil Ghost Mask, accompanied by such bizarre Bone Demons, had suddenly appeared amidst their desperate struggle on this brutal battlefield. Even the Shadow Tower’s Martial Artists, for all their rock-solid composure, were startled.
They were already run ragged dealing with the endless stream of Lightning Crocodiles. Even without any surprises, they wouldn’t have been able to hold on for much longer.
Even for assassins seasoned by blood and fire, the appearance of such a strange figure caused a flicker of panic.
To venture into the Sorrow Swamp alone and reach this point was sothing that not even the leader of their group could have done.
The enemy who had trapped them had not yet appeared, and no one knew if this newcor was the person they were looking for.
At this mont, the group from the Shadow Tower appeared full of Battle Intent, but they were already at the end of their rope and couldn’t last much longer.
At a ti like this, for such a mysterious expert to suddenly appear, even their three leaders felt a little panicked.
Shen Lang glanced at the man pointing the dagger at him and chuckled. "No need to be so tense. I’m just passing by. I only want to pick that Seven-Star Begonia. You all can carry on."
GRRR! GRRR!
Upon discovering new prey, a small group of Lightning Crocodiles imdiately broke off from the main pack and charged toward Shen Lang.
"Go on, kill those Lightning Crocodiles!" Shen Lang ordered, pointing a finger forward.
Seeing this, the four Bone Demons grew excited. Their figures flickered, their Bone Blades leaving afterimages in the air as they instantly killed the charging Lightning Crocodiles on the spot.
"Not enough! Send more!" Bone One shouted in excitent.
"Let the onslaught of Lightning Crocodiles be even more furious!" Bone Two roared to the heavens.
These guys had just beco Bone Demons, and their souls and bodies still needed ti to sync up.
Shen Lang wasn’t sending them to kill the Lightning Crocodiles to save the people from the Shadow Tower, but simply to let them warm up.
"Hahaha, Boss, this feels incredible!" Bone One roared repeatedly.
He had previously been swindled out of nearly all his Spirit Stones by Nalan Ziyun and had no way to vent his frustration. Now, he was in high spirits, gripping his Bone Blade with both hands, runes dancing wildly across his body. With the other three following behind him, they left a field of corpses in their wake, the Lightning Crocodiles practically piling up into mountains.
The Lightning Crocodiles here were originally known for their tough hides and incredible speed, but they were clearly outmatched by the four Bone Demons.
These Bone Demons already had a Cultivation Realm of the Spirit Martial Realm’s Sixth and Seventh Heavens. Furthermore, their bodies had been refined by the Ghost King in a Cold Pool for over three hundred years. Killing the Lightning Crocodiles was as easy as cutting grass.
At most, their movents were a little stiff at the beginning. But later on, they gradually regained the speed they had when they were Rakshasa Ghosts, each of them fighting with such fervor that they moved like whirlwinds.
The people from the Shadow Tower, who had been wary, were suddenly overjoyed when they saw the Bone Demons charge into the pack of Lightning Crocodiles and begin reaping their lives.
At a signal from their leader, the group followed behind the four Bone Demons, picking off the stray Lightning Crocodiles one by one. Amidst the mist, the once-overwhelming swarm of Lightning Crocodiles finally began to thin out.
"Hahaha, I fucking love this body! Boss, where are we off to kill next?" Bone One yelled wildly as he fought.
This feeling was simply incredible. Whether it was Attack Power, speed, or defense, Bone One felt he had never had it this good...
Before Bone Three and Bone Four could speak, Shen Lang cut them off. "The hell you are! You think this is a ga? This Grand Array is a one-way trip; you can get in, but not out. Don’t think there are only a few hundred Lightning Crocodiles here. Even if I let you kill for three days and three nights, you might not finish them all! Can’t you see more of them constantly charging in from all directions?"
"You’ve got to be kidding ?"
The four Bone Demons, who had been in high spirits, finally sobered up after Shen Lang threw a bucket of cold water on them. They looked around and were startled.
It turned out that more and more Lightning Crocodiles were charging in from outside. The cacophony in the distance clearly indicated that even more were continuously swarming toward them.
And to make matters worse, the target of all the Lightning Crocodiles had now beco the four of them!
"Uh... isn’t this a little too much? Aren’t your enemies supposed to be these sneaky guys?" Bone One stamred.
The people from the Shadow Tower choked with indignation. ’Who are you calling sneaky? Aren’t you four Bone Demons the sneaky ones?’
’Then again, that’s not right. These Bone Demons just swaggered in and brazenly started killing the Lightning Crocodiles.’
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!
Several puffs of smoke rose, and so of the Shadow Tower mbers suddenly vanished on the spot.
With almost no delay, in the next second, several puffs of smoke erupted around Shen Lang, and five Shadow Tower Martial Artists in tight black outfits surrounded him.
anwhile, the three leaders of the Shadow Tower led the remaining mbers and also surrounded the four Bone Demons.
Bone One imdiately let out a strange laugh. "We’ve t a lot of humans, but aside from the Boss, we’ve really never t any with a shred of decency. Goddammit, we rescue you from a swarm of crocodiles, and you imdiately turn on us. You’re a real piece of work!"
Bone Three was much more direct, shouting, "Boss, should we kill them all? Loot them all?"
The mont Bone Three spoke, the Shadow Tower mbers grew even more tense. Their auras beca indistinct, as if they were about to use their assassination techniques at any mont.
Shen Lang, however, seed to have expected this. With a calm and mocking expression, he said, "Are all the people from the Shadow Tower so ungrateful and stupid? You haven’t even gotten out of the Yin Yang Inverted Qin Formation, and you’re already planning to make a move on ?"
"If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t have co in now. I could have just waited two hours until you were exhausted and devoured by the crocodiles, then co in to clean up the battlefield. If I wanted to kill you, do you think you could withstand the charge of four Bone Demons?"
Facing the encirclent of the Shadow Tower assassins and the daggers glinting with a cold, eerie light, Shen Lang was completely unconcerned. As if taking a leisurely stroll through a courtyard, he walked directly toward the Seven-Star Begonia.
"If they dare to make a move, kill them all."
Shen Lang’s tone was perfectly even, as if he were talking about squashing a few ants.
The two assassins blocking his path stiffened and subconsciously moved aside to let him pass.
"JIE JIE JIE! It’s been a long ti since I’ve devoured a human soul. Your auras aren’t weak, so your souls must be absolutely delicious!"
Bone One began to rub his hands together, his voice filled with naked desire, as if he couldn’t wait for the Shadow Tower mbers to attack.
"Stand down!"
A young woman in the crowd called out sharply.
The Shadow Tower mbers were quick to act and quick to retreat. They imdiately broke their encirclent and backed away several ters, making their stance clear.
"Friend, we are from the Dark Tower of the Shadow Tower, here in the Sorrow Swamp on a mission..." the young woman who had spoken before said, cupping her fist.
"I’m not interested in you or your mission."
Shen Lang cut her off and casually walked over to the Seven-Star Begonia, pulling it up by the roots.
The Seven-Star Poison Flood Dragon that had originally been guarding the Seven-Star Begonia had already been killed by the combined efforts of the Shadow Tower mbers, so it was easy for him to pick it.
It was unclear whether it was due to the deterrence from him and the four Bone Demons or so other reason, but the swarming Lightning Crocodiles had actually stopped their charge. They rely circled in the distance, letting out continuous growls and bloodthirsty roars of anger, but they no longer advanced to their deaths.
Seeing Shen Lang calmly pluck the Seven-Star Begonia, the Shadow Tower woman who had spoken earlier pondered for a mont before speaking again in a softer tone, "Friend, this Ancient Array is no small matter. We are all trapped here together now. I’m afraid it’s impossible to break out of this Grand Array by fighting alone. I wonder if we could cooperate to find a way to break it?"
Shen Lang didn’t reply. A white light flared from the Suru Ring on his hand, and under the furious gazes of the Shadow Tower mbers, he collected all the nearby Lightning Crocodile corpses.
"You!" The young woman’s eyes also filled with rage.
These Lightning Crocodile corpses were the spoils of their hard-fought battle that had lasted an entire day. They had been tied down by the crocodiles in a bloody struggle, with no mind or ti to collect them. They never expected this Ghost-faced Person who had appeared out of nowhere to just take everything without a word!
"The ones trapped in here are you, not . You need to understand that first," Shen Lang said with a soft chuckle after he finished. "Let’s be blunt. I’m a businessman. Consider the Lightning Crocodile corpses I just collected as paynt for saving you earlier... The Yin Yang Inverted Qin Formation can’t stop . If you want to get you out, you’ll need to offer sothing worth my while."
As he spoke, his eyes drifted to the Shadow Tower woman’s ample chest. Sothing there had caught his attention long ago.
This was the kind of woman who could make your blood race with a single glance.
A fem fatale—her face was the very definition of it.
She wore a tight black outfit that perfectly accentuated her exquisite, curvaceous figure—full in the front and perky in the back...
Inside the Heaven-Sealing Cauldron, Nalan Ziyun’s endless stream of curses reached Shen Lang’s ears: "Pervert, shaless, shaless, pervert..."
