And Jiangnan was still riding on the Shadow Demon, punching away without stopping.
“Let you attack Xuexue and the wolf until they’re wiped out? Beat you to death.”
“Let you steal my doll? Beat you to death.”
“Let you punch our family’s bear? Beat you to death.”
With every punch, Jiangnan would mutter a line.
It felt so satisfying.
The Shadow Demon’s wails never stopped.
It gave everyone listening goosebumps.
At this moment, the big screen at Dragon Abyss headquarters was a sheet of white light.
You really couldn’t see a thing.
You could only faintly hear bursts of screams.
Everyone panicked, staring dead at the big screen.
“What’s going on? Can someone tell me what’s happening?”
“Those screams? My god. Nan Shen and the others wouldn’t be…”
“Aaah. I’m dying of anxiety. Has the Sky Eye system broken down?”
“My throat’s hoarse from shouting. So cruel.”
The Red Dragon was almost going mad with worry. If not for his command duties, he would have rushed straight to the Jade Dragon Spirit Ruins.
Meanwhile, Wang Zhengyang and Li Mie Tu exchanged a glance, and couldn’t help recalling a painful memory.
“Dragon Bro. The Sky Eye system should not be broken.”
“Yes, it’s just that the Sky Eye can’t look straight at the bald head’s emitted light…”
Red Dragon: “Huh?”
Bald head? It glows?
Did it blind the Sky Eye system?
Are you sure you’re not joking with me?
Bai Qian Xun listened carefully: “The voice isn’t Nan Shen’s. His voice is more magnetic, deeper, and more soul-stirring.”
With that one sentence, countless eyes shot towards Bai Qian Xun.
Magnetic? Deeper and soul-stirring?
In what situation did you hear Nan Shen’s voice?
You study it that much?
Do you listen often?
…
At this moment, in the underground bar.
Hale Dracula kept replaying the video online of Jiangnan’s 47-second slash-fest with the Shadow Demon.
He smiled confidently: “Heh. It’s in the bag.”
He could not imagine any chance of the Shadow Demon failing.
But just then, the top-hatted man sitting on a stool nearby suddenly started twitching all over.
It scared Hale half to death.
What’s going on? Are you mutating?
Then he saw the top-hatted man bleeding from all seven orifices, foaming at the mouth.
He mumbled unconsciously: “No. Don’t hit me.”
“Really don’t hit me. No full service. Stop. Stop it.”
As he spoke, his face was full of resistance.
Hale was baffled.
What’s this about?
Hitting?
I sent you to steal the mother body.
Not to shop for five-kernel mooncakes at a mall.
And discounts? What dream are you having?
At this moment, Hale lost his cool a bit.
You see, the Shadow Demon’s ability was extremely special.
His shadow could carry his will and power.
Then possess other people’s bodies and act alone.
That’s why Lu Yao became the Shadow Demon, and could even force a level-up.
And during this time.
The top-hatted man’s main body only had subconscious awareness, like losing its soul.
But some things were linked. Hale used the pain of breaking fingers to signal the Shadow Demon.
But now the main body was in this state?
God knows what the Shadow Demon went through there.
[Resentment value from Hale Dracula +1000.]
“Damn it. Did the Fox Skin Plan fail? How is that possible.”
He rushed forward and grabbed the top-hatted man’s neck, until his face turned purple.
“You’d better shut your mouth. Or you know the consequences.”
He grabbed his coat and hurried out of the underground bar.
At the same time, the Shadow Demon on the street stall cloth, who no longer looked human, suddenly felt a choking sensation.
He knew. Hale was warning him.
Don’t leak any information.
But…
Jiangnan damn well didn’t even ask.
This guy was just out to beat me to death.
[Resentment value from Lu Yao +888.]
Seeing the Shadow Demon might really die, Jiangnan finally stopped.
He slapped on the Spirit Binding Handcuffs and Void Chains.
At this moment, Lu Yao’s body was almost collapsed. No combat power left at all.
Even the shadow couldn’t return to the main body.
Leng Yan’s mind was blank.
She never imagined the Fox Skin Plan would be broken by Jiangnan just like that.
Rubbing a Platinum Three on the ground?
How the hell did you do that.
At this moment, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao also got up.
Their injuries had mostly healed from the Vitality Ginseng.
Xia Yao walked over and circled Jiangnan, full of surprise. Jiangnan felt creepy under her stare.
“Got charmed by me?”
Xia Yao rolled her eyes: “Pfft. Not charmed.”
“I feel like you’re not human.”
Jiangnan: ???
Zhong Yingxue covered her mouth and giggled: “That thing about you being modified by the Centaur Galaxy sister, it wouldn’t be true, right?”
What Jiangnan just did.
Was way beyond human limits, okay?
Too scary.
Jiangnan’s face darkened: “I’ll take that as you two complimenting me.”
Just then, white figures rushed over from afar.
Leading them was Chang Shou.
Seeing the battlefield like it was bombed by missiles, Chang Shou’s heart sank half way.
But when he saw Jiangnan covered in blood, nose bleeding like crazy, yet still full of life, he was stunned.
On the ground lay an unconscious Shadow Demon.
“Holy crap. Nan Shen. You lot…”
“It’s over? What happened? Weren’t the enemies supposed to be strong?”
“This is too brutal.”
“So badly hurt? Quick. Medics.”
“He’ll die if not treated soon.”
“By the way, what’s that muscle giant bear over there? Why does its head glow? So blinding.”
The group panicked at once, pulling out medics.
The medic swallowed: “With this blood loss. He’s done for. We’d better dig a pit and prepare…”
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: “Just these minor scratches. Surface wounds. All surface.”
Looking at the over-one-metre blood spurts from the wounds, Chang Shou and the others shivered.
What blood pressure is this. Normal high is 180.
Yours must be over ten thousand.
This young man. Such vigorous blood.
Jiangnan picked up the Shadow Demon and tossed him to Chang Shou, giving a quick report on the Fox Skin Plan.
“Sorry, didn’t notify you earlier, Brother Shou. Mainly because I wasn’t sure, after all…”
Chang Shou smiled bitterly: “Your suspicion was right. Dracula’s infiltration is hard to guard against.”
He waved, and behind him came seven restrained spirit martial artists.
Including Lin Bei and the other two. On the way, Chang Shou had caused them some trouble.
“This guy’s in your hands now. We’ve cleared our side too. No more of Dracula’s people in the Jade Dragon Spirit Ruins.”
“Except her.”
Chang Shou’s gaze landed on Leng Yan, his eyes cold.
Leng Yan bit her lower lip, head down, standing there, explaining nothing…
Jiangnan grinned: “Misunderstanding. She’s my friend. All part of the earlier plan. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to break Dracula’s scheme.”
Chang Shou paused, then smiled meaningfully: “As long as you know what you’re doing. I won’t interfere.”
Jiangnan: “This Shadow Demon’s got some stuff in his belly. You can dig it out later.”
Chang Shou smiled coldly: “I’ll take good care of him back at base.”
“Thanks. I’ll buy you a drink later, brother.”
“Oh right. The competition. You need to hurry. The other teams got plenty of spirit pearls these days. You’re behind.”
“If you don’t get first, we won’t make up for it later. Haha.”
Jiangnan pouted: “First place? Piece of cake.”
“So confident? We’re off. Have fun.”
He took the Shadow Demon and left. Though he arrived at the end, it wasn’t too late.
Nearby, Leng Yan was full of emotion.
Friends, huh.
Jiangnan not only helped her sort out family matters, subdued the Shadow Demon, but also covered for her.
In an instant, her heart melted.
Such a man was just perfect.
She looked up, seeing Jiangnan walking towards her with a bright smile.
Leng Yan’s heart raced, not even knowing how to thank him.
Then Jiangnan reached out his hand.
Leng Yan’s pretty face flushed red.
Wow.
He… he wants to hold my hand?
Should I let him?
Sure, why not.
Nan Shen did so much for me. Even if he wants to pick up where we left off last time, it’s not impossible.
Jiangnan: “Quick. Hand over all the spirit pearls.”
“Robbery.”
Leng Yan: ???
She froze on the spot.
Weren’t we friends?
Weren’t we going to hold hands, kiss, hug?
Robbery?
You’re actually here to rob me?
We just fought side by side, advancing and retreating together.
Do you have to turn so fast?
What’s in your head?
Give me back my girly heart. Give me back my restless youth.
[Resentment value from Leng Yan +1000.]
[From Leng Yan…]
“N-No… I don’t have any…”
“Not giving? If you don’t, I’ll frisk you, you know.”
