Chapter 628: Chapter 635: See, Your Face is Changing, Isn’t It? (Fifth update)
“Do you think this Sao Saint was molded out of clay?”
Yang Zhen’s words left the trio stunned, and Yin Shadow burst into teasing laughter. He jeered, “Boy, do you reckon that the Death Shadow would risk his life for a brat like you, who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth?”
“Yes, indeed, this Sao Saint right here. Hey, old crone, what’s your damn name?” Yang Zhen strolled up to Death Shadow, expressing interest towards Yin Shadow.
“You!” The old hag erupted with fury, releasing a wave of force resembling the raging torrents of the underworld, forcefully surging towards Yang Zhen.
Hum—!
The wave of force around Death Shadow restored abruptly, blocking the immense surge outside. Both black forces burst into a violent atmosphere, dissipating in mid-air.
Boom!
Amid the tremors of the earth, Yin Shadow snorted coldly and said to Death Shadow, “Overestimate your abilities all you want. So, you’ve made up your mind to protect this kid. Then go to your grave for it.”
Just as these words left his mouth, a ball of black light shone abruptly in Yin Shadow’s hand. The terrifying aura swirling around it caused the surrounding air to burst apart, obviously showcasing a frightfully powerful martial skill.
Seeing this black light, Death Shadow’s face turned ashen. He jumped behind Yang Zhen and urgently said, “Mr. Yang, retreat fast. Get them out of here. We’re no match for them. I… can hold out only for a minute!”
Within the terrifying black light, thunder seemed to flash and ripple, roaring in grandeur, causing the surrounding Heaven and Earth True Essence to surge violently.
Just as Yin Shadow was about to hurl the black light, Yang Zhen suddenly bellowed, “Wait a minute, wait, hold your horses!”
Yin Shadow faltered, a derisive look flashing across his face. This time he saw clearly that Yang Zhen’s face was black and covered in pits and dents, absolutely revolting!
Yang Zhen, fighting back disgust, walked up to Death Shadow with a strange expression. He said, “The Sao Saint here believes these two gloomy oddballs aren’t that amazing. Why do you look like you’ve accepted your death?”
Death Shadow let out a bitter laugh and said, “They came too quickly. If it were ten days from now, even if it resulted in my death, I would rip the head off one of them. But now… my death is certain!”
Yang Zhen smirked and said, “The Sao Saint doesn’t fancy hitting women. This old hag is yours to handle. As for this gloomy oddball, he’s mine. Let’s see who twists their head off first!”
Having heard this, Death Shadow paused, opened his mouth, and then shook his head. “There must be more men from Moluo Gate outside. Gong Sanhe, that old bastard, and the other two could hardly be any help to us. You… you better get going.”
The corners of Yang Zhen’s mouth lifted in a sly smirk, and he said, “But you’re still here, aren’t you?”
With this, and to the astonishment of Death Shadow, Yang Zhen placed his hand on Death Shadow’s shoulder.
“Boy, what the hell are you doing?” Yin Shadow’s face turned malevolent. He bellowed at Yang Zhen and, between echoes of doubt and fear, charged at him.
A shiver ran through Death Shadow’s body. He gave Yang Zhen a deep look. Amid the laughter, the aura around his body abruptly exploded open. The roaring fire of horror was incredibly shocking. The violent surge erupted forward, careening towards Yin Shadow.
“Actually releasing all of your True Essence, Death Shadow, are you seeking death!” Yin Shadow gave a sinister chuckle. His hands moved rapidly across his chest, generating a dazzling talisman, he flung it hard onto Death Shadow’s body.
“Die for me!”
Thunk!
The complicated talisman hit Death Shadow, causing him to wobble. Yin Shadow’s laughter abruptly died down, his face filled with shock as he stuttered at Death Shadow in disbelief, “You…You didn’t die? Impossible!”
Death Shadow wore a faint smile as he gave a hard slap across Yin Shadow’s face. The forceful hit sent Yin Shadow flying.
“Hahaha, exhilarating! So exhilarating! Damn it, it’s been so many years since I’ve felt this exhilarated!”
With those words, Death Shadow turned to Yang Zhen with a grateful look and said, “I won’t bother with thanks for your great kindness. Kid, as long as I’m here, anyone who wants to touch you will have to step over my dead body first.”
Yin Shadow climbed up, with his face covered in humiliation and looked uncertainly at Death Shadow. He shook his head and said, “No, impossible, how could you remove the talisman so quickly? Impossible, how could you possibly have a way to dispel the talisman?”
Yang Shadow also looked dumbfounded, staring at Yang Zhen and asked, “Kid, who are you exactly, and what did you do to Death Shadow?”
Only then did Yin Shadow suddenly react, glaring at Yang Zhen with a sullen look and said, “Was it you? Did you dispel the talisman within Death Shadow’s body? That’s impossible!”
With a dull look on his face, Yang Zhen shifted his gaze from Death Shadow’s face and casually crushed a black talisman in his hand, mumbling to himself, “Damn, his temper, it’s too explosive, but that slap was really satisfying.”
Ignoring the words of Yin and Yang Shadows, Yang Zhen looked at Yin Shadow with awe and asked, “I wonder, do you always fight like this, recklessly throwing your face to your opponents?”
“You…” Yin Shadow was furious, and before he could make a move, he suddenly heard Yang Zhen mumbling to himself, “Damn, with such a handsome posture, if I were Sao Saint, I couldn’t resist slapping him.”
Hearing this, Death Shadow almost spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood and screamed frantically, “Kid, today I’ll separate your spirit soul from your body, refine it to ashes, and no one will be able to save you!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of violent noises came from the numerous stone gates. Illusory figures as fast as lightning charged into the hall, clearly the Death Servants who had been waiting outside all along.
With a cold snort, Gong Sanhe and his companions brandished their long swords and plunged into the group of Death Servants.
Especially Gong Sanhe, with his peak terrifying cultivation at the Mahayana Phase, unleashed his power fully. His palm strikes were like bread buns, whether it was because he found Death Shadow’s slap satisfying or because he simply liked slapping faces, all the Death Servants who dared to approach him were slapped and sent flying.
Gong Sanhe seemed addicted to slapping, his moves grew more skilled with each practice, to the astonishment of Yang Zhen who muttered, “Damn, they’re all face-slapping maniacs.”
“You fool, at a time like this, you’re still focused on other people?” Yin Shadow roared angrily. The dark energy in his hand suddenly surged like a storm, accompanied by the sound of roaring thunder, and came rushing towards Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen quickly turned around to run, shouting, “We had a deal, the old lady is all yours!”
Death Shadow laughed loudly and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve had my eyes on this old woman for a long time!”
Boom!
The aura of everyone present exploded. For a moment, True Essence surged within Heavenly Machine Lock, causing the entire hall to shake. The massive chains outside the hall, made of an unknown material, made a clanging noise.
Naturally, those within the hall couldn’t see the white flames gradually igniting on those chains. Then, strange energy surged from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it burst into Heavenly Machine Lock.
The Yin and Yang Shadows were indeed worthy of being two entities feared by Death Shadow. As soon as they started the fight, Yang Zhen felt great pressure.
Yin Shadow laughed loudly, and the dark energy in his hands shimmered as he said ominously, “Kid, this Insect Fire is something I spent decades refining. If you get touched by it, your spirit soul will be annihilated.”
Yang Zhen also laughed loudly. Suddenly, a white flame burst out in his hand. He casually said, “What a coincidence, this Karmic Fire is something this Sao Saint accidentally acquired by accident. Your creepy Yin and Yang creature, not only will you turn pale if touched by it, but also when you see it.”
Yin Shadow’s face changed dramatically, and he shrieked, “Ne…Ne…Netherworld Karma Fire!?”
“See, didn’t your face change?”
