Chapter 045: Vermilion Bird
"Hmph. My affairs are none of your concern," Huang Bo replied coldly.
Yang Chen glanced at the shadow lying on the ground and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Although Yang Chen had easily slain the Dou Wang level expert, he had taken a significant risk, and his earlier show of weakness had led to the opponent's carelessness.
It was similar to before when he used "Demon God: Flash of Thunder" to evade the shadow's sword energy and attacked without success. When the shadow unleashed "Sword Dance: Celestial Shadows," Yang Chen used "Ghost Step" to dodge and counterattack, causing the shadow to underestimate him, which allowed Yang Chen to deliver a fatal blow.
As for "Death Gaze," it was a supreme skill Yang Chen comprehended from his eyes—"Life and Death Eye." The effect of "Life and Death Eye" is to instill a sense of death in the opponent and immobilize them for one second. Although it only immobilizes for a second, it does not restrain the opponent's fighting spirit within. Therefore, to kill him, one must forcibly break through the opponent's protective fighting spirit. Even though a max-level "Backstab Throat Kiss" can ignore 25% of the opponent's protective fighting spirit and armor, one truly realizes how strong the opponent's protective fighting spirit is when trying to kill a Dou Wang expert. The shadow is dead, but Yang Chen is also severely injured.
Killing the shadow came at the cost of enduring the shadow's final move—"Sword Dance: Celestial Shadows." Observing Yang Chen's back, it was covered in blood. His originally magnificent black robe had become tattered fragments, exposing flesh and muscle, with faint shadows of bones visible. Although gravely injured, he was not dead. The wounds would gradually heal under the refinement of "Life and Death Sphere." Despite the pain throughout his body, Yang Chen did not stop to rest.
With a flick of his Dragon Lure Sword, he severed the shadow's left-hand index finger and removed the ring from it, placing it into his spatial ring. He then activated "Ghostly Step," using two daggers to continuously reap members of the Windwalker Yongbing team at the Dou Shi level. No matter how angry Huang Bo became, he could not break free from Jiang Nan's entanglement, which caused him to lose his composure and make mistakes.
"Yang Chen, remember this! One day I will make you suffer a fate worse than death! Retreat!" Huang Bo roared.
"You think you can leave safely under my watch? Have you asked for my permission?" Jiang Nan said coldly. "Hmph! If I want to leave, no one can stop me. Royal Fist: War against Heaven!" Countless yellow fist shadows roared toward Jiang Nan, dozens or even hundreds carrying a destructive aura surged forward.
"Oh really? One Sword: Misty Rain!" Jiang Nan lightly flicked his long sword in response and thrust again. The silver sword in his hand emitted a vast white sword energy, followed by countless swords roaring out, transforming into hundreds or thousands of sharp blades—some falling from above, others shooting straight ahead. Truly worthy of its name—the technique of one sword producing misty rain. The battle between the two continued fiercely; Huang Bo wanted to escape but found it impossible while watching his members fall one after another.
"Yuan Guang, let's go all out! We can't just watch our brothers die!" Huang Bo exclaimed as a gray gas surged from within him, increasing his speed even further.
The bald man fighting Xie Yao heard this and said, "Alright! Blood Qi Explosion!" Countless blood energies erupted from Bald Man Yuan Guang, causing his aura to surge explosively.
"You filthy woman! You've held me down for so long; it's time for you to experience my methods," Yang Chen frowned. Now both sides were nearly equal in numbers; or rather, there were still slightly more members on Shadow Kill Yongbing’s side—over 240 people—while Windwalker Yongbing had only about 180 left, perhaps even fewer. All Dou Shi level fighters had already perished at Yang Chen's hands.
"Everyone, there's no need to sacrifice your lives for Huang Bo, right? We're all just trying to make a living; there's no need to lose our lives over this! If anyone is willing to put down their weapon and come over to my side, I can grant them a chance at survival."
"Shut your damn mouth! I live as a member of Windwalker Yongbing and die as one too! You think I'll surrender? Dream on!" spat a four-star Dou Wang who was battling Lu Ying.
"Yes, Elder Wang is right, death is the ghost of the Yongbing group!"
"Right, if we're going to fight, let's fight. There's no need for so much nonsense."
"Fight!"
"Enough noise!" Yang Chen shouted angrily, then used Ghost Step to leap behind Elder Wang, wielding the Kiss of the Demon to pierce through his skull, leaving a cross mark on his forehead.
"You, you... you!" Elder Wang stammered three times before dying at Yang Chen's hands. He had already been at his limit after battling with Lu Ying and others; how could he withstand the fear effect that reduced all attributes by 50% and then experience the 'Cross Tremor Sword Flow'?
"Is there anyone else who wants to be a ghost of the Yongbing group?" Yang Chen asked coldly, doing his best to suppress the trembling of his body.
"I, I... I surrender, I surrender."
"I also surrender."
"Damn it, I'm done playing, I'm done playing."
"Who the hell dares to surrender? After this, I'll make him pay!" Huang Bo roared. Although he spoke fiercely, he was pierced in the left shoulder blade by Jiang Nan's sword. Those warriors who were just about to approach Yang Chen hesitated again, their faces showing conflicting emotions.
However, three people who were not afraid of retaliation still walked towards Yang Chen: two men and one woman.
"Greetings, Captain Yang Chen. I am Zheng Gang, this is Zhuque, and Jiang Liang."
"Good, having your assistance will be like adding wings to my shadow kill Yongbing group," Yang Chen said with a smile. Whether that smile was genuine or not was something only Yang Chen himself could answer.
"Thank you for your praise, Captain Yang," the three replied respectfully.
"Please sit cross-legged; let me help you recover your fighting spirit," Yang Chen said with concern.
"This..." Jiang Liang showed some dissatisfaction.
"Thank you, Captain." It was Zhuque who made the first decision.
"Xiao... Zhuque, what are you doing?" Zheng Gang said discontentedly.
"Captain Yang's good intentions, how can we refuse? Please sit down." Zhuque said calmly, showing no fear of Yang Chen's potential malice.
"Yes." The two replied. Perhaps others did not notice anything, but Yang Chen realized that the relationship among these three was complex, and Zhuque was not as simple as she appeared.
Yang Chen's expression remained calm as he activated the Nine-Pointed Star on his forehead to transmit some life essence to help them recover their fighting spirit. Ever since Yang Chen mastered the Body of Life and Death and began to absorb the essence of living beings, he had reached a level where he could do so at will. To avoid any accidents, he had not yet absorbed the essence from a corpse.
In just five minutes, Yang Chen withdrew the flow of life essence. Zhuque and the others opened their eyes and expressed their gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Captain."
"Thank you for helping us recover our fighting spirit, but what about the mark on our foreheads?" Zheng Gang asked.
"That is a mark I intentionally left for you. I can use it to transmit life essence to help you enhance your cultivation; it has no other purpose," Yang Chen explained while deliberately revealing the mark.
"Is there a way to remove it?" Jiang Liang inquired.
"A way? Naturally, only I can remove it," Yang Chen said lightly. "If one day you want me to remove it for you, it's not impossible. As long as you wholeheartedly work for my Shadow Kill Yongbing group and contribute enough, I won't obstruct your departure or pursue you."
"You! Pursue? Do you know who we are..."
