Chapter 183: Chapter 148: The Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade Is on You!
Hellfire, could it be that the shadow has hellfire on him or news about hellfire?
Ye Bai plans to see if he can get some information from the shadow, to find out if hellfire is on him or somewhere else.
If hellfire can be found, then once Little Charcoal Dog’s power reaches the level, it would have a chance to evolve.
Ye Bai showed a disdainful expression.
"Do you have hellfire on you?"
"Talking big without drafting."
"You’re just a Tier Three Karami, stop joking, okay?"
"Doing this just makes me look down on you."
Sure enough, the shadow was angered by Ye Bai’s words and inadvertently disclosed some information: "Hmph, I don’t have it, but I know where it is, though it’s somewhat dangerous."
"As long as I can break through to Tier Five, I have a way to obtain hellfire."
"No more nonsense, I’m going to harvest your soul completely."
"Shadow Burial!"
Exotic beasts formed by countless shadows burst from the darkness, densely filling the sky.
Ye Bai discovered that these shadows seemed to be the phantoms of Boxing Shrimp, Hammer Crab, and One-Eyed Seven-Gilled Eel.
"Looks familiar, right? I harvested their shadows, naturally harvesting their lives."
"Now, they have all been turned into shadow puppets by me."
"Earlier, I was unprepared, but now with my defenses, my pet beast won’t take advantage of me again."
"My Shadow Warrior is a king among shadow beasts."
"Though defeated by hellfire, its essence hurt, I can still use its exclusive skills."
"This is the shadow army I’ve summoned."
"Prepare to die."
"I’ll let you experience the agony of being pierced by ten thousand arrows."
"Your shadow will be torn apart by these puppets."
The shadow laughed heartily, as if seeing Ye Bai being consumed by endless shadow puppets.
Dark clouds over the city, the shadow puppets surged like tides.
Light Goddess Butterfly Clone charged forward, its wings emitting dazzling light, a blazing white orb suddenly rose into the sky.
The blazing white orb cleared a large area of shadows.
But more shadow puppets rushed forward, seemingly tireless, unaware of life or death.
Every time Holy Light Shining cleared an area, the gaps were quickly filled.
The shadow puppets surrounded the Light Goddess Butterfly’s clone closely, Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm manipulated the clone trying to break free, but were blocked by the shadow puppets.
These shadow puppets even spewed black showers of arrows from their mouths, the dense arrows rushed towards the Light Goddess Butterfly’s clone.
The Light Goddess Butterfly carelessly got hit, its right wing was pierced by the arrow rain, quickly corroding a large hole.
It fell from high altitude like a kite with a broken line.
In mid-air, the Light Goddess Butterfly’s clone was torn to pieces by the shadow exotic beasts.
Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm’s successive clones were destroyed, its spirit drooped.
"Ye Bai, this time next year will be the anniversary of your death, when the grass on your grave is two meters high, I’ll pay my respects."
"Die, Shadow Burial."
Endless shadow puppets fell from the sky, their only goal was to kill Ye Bai and seize his shadow, converting it into a shadow puppet.
Ye Bai’s dark profound eyes gazed at the dense shadows, a smile of certainty appeared on his lips.
From the beginning, the Sunflowers surrounded this small area.
Though the shadow is strong, its flaws are its weaknesses.
As long as the shadow can be trapped, Ye Bai has full confidence to keep the shadow here.
"It’s time, Sunflower Emperor, your turn."
Ye Bai lazily said, as the shadow was still reacting.
The surrounding sky seemed to suddenly clear up, emitting dazzling strong light.
At this moment, a school bus was shakily navigating the mountain road.
Known as the road eighteen bends, the probability of accidents here is high.
The dazzling strong light made the driver slam on the brakes.
The continuous rain softened the soil of Pan Yang Mountain, causing torrents to slide down the mountain.
With a thunderous crash, the mountain body collapsed, brushing past the school bus.
Landslides happen fast, often too late once realized.
Inside the school bus there was a jolt, all the students’ eyes were glued to the landslide, large chunks of rock sliding from the summit.
How dangerous, if the brake hadn’t been hit earlier, the whole bus might have been done for.
By this time, white smoke started billowing from the shadow’s body.
The shadow staggered holding his head, taking a few steps forward, feeling a burning sensation all over.
"How can it be, how could you have so many light attribute pet beasts?"
The shadow loudly questioned, if it was just a single pet beast using Holy Light Shining, the shadow would at most emit a wisp of white smoke.
But if a group of pet beasts all displayed Holy Light Shining, to the shadow it’s a disaster.
He forcibly summoned a mass of black fog to enclose himself.
In the piercing light, the shadow finally saw the peculiarity in Ye Bai’s eyes.
"Eyes with patterns, that’s the Eye of Insight."
"And it’s the deeply developed Eye of Insight."
The shadow showed an excited expression, pacing within the black fog.
"So, the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade from the Pet Beast Union’s secret vault ended up in your hands."
"I’ve looked into your past, Ye Bai."
"My conclusion is that you’re a boy who hates trouble but has a kind heart despite a sharp tongue."
"While investigating you, I found one thing very strange."
"Why, when the Li Weiyang shooting incident occurred, did you rush in first, even though you’re just a student?"
"Now that I think about it, it must have been because you wanted to copy Li Weiyang’s talent."
"So from then on, you had already obtained the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade."
The Shadow was piecing together the gun incident, and Ye Bai hadn’t expected his secret to be uncovered so easily.
He vowed silently that from now on, he’d wear beauty contact lenses whenever he went out, to keep the Eye of Insight’s secret safe.
Ye Bai didn’t want to become a tool like Li Weiyang and lose his personal freedom for life.
No matter where he went, someone would be watching, leaving him with no privacy.
"Lose on the swings, gain on the roundabouts."
"Ye Bai, you have hidden it well."
"As long as I cut open your heart and extract the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart inside."
"I will possess a second talent like the Eye of Insight, and I will also be able to deeply awaken the Shadow Curse talent, summoning an even more formidable Shadow Army."
Ye Bai also wanted to extract the secret of the Eye of Insight from the Shadow’s mouth, so he let the Shadow continue speaking.
"From the information I found in the Evangelical Association, the Eye of Insight is also known as the Eye of True Sight."
"A deeply developed Eye of Insight can see hidden advancement paths."
"But every use of the Eye of Insight consumes some spiritual power and has strong side effects."
"The Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade can remove these side effects."
"It seems that heaven still smiles upon me, bringing me to meet you."
"I will take good care of your Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade."
The black mist around the Shadow surged.
More and more white smoke billowed from the Shadow, and his body thinned visibly; it seemed resisting blinding light had consumed most of the Shadow’s power.
"Hmph, at this point, I have no choice but to forcefully awaken you."
"Oh Shadow Warrior from Hell, I summon you from slumber at the cost of my own lifespan."
"These Shadow Puppets, they are the tributes for your resurrection, awaken now, Shadow Puppets."
Endless Shadow Puppets drilled into the Shadow’s brow.
In the Shadow’s Pet Beast Space, something like a giant cocoon absorbed a large number of Shadow Puppets, and started to swell.
"Come forth, Shadow Warrior."
A massive black aura emerged from the ground, its powerful momentum almost overwhelming the Sunflower Imperial Capital.
The Sunflower’s clones exploded one after another, and the surrounding light dimmed instantly.
A pet beast covered in eyes of various sizes appeared.
Each eye was blood red, like top-grade Pigeon Blood Rubies.
This was the Shadow’s last trump card.
At the cost of his own life, the Shadow forcibly re-summoned the Shadow Warrior.
At this moment, the Shadow was gasping heavily, having overdrawn his life to summon the Shadow Warrior.
"Hand it over, Ye Bai. I want your heart."
"Only by taking your heart can I offset the cost of life exhaustion."
Ye Bai had harbored the intent to kill since the Shadow had guessed that he possessed the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade.
He secretly released Big Gray.
"Big Gray, extinguish the Shadow Warrior."
Ye Bai believed that except for fearing Light Attribute attacks, Shadow Element exotic beasts could likely only be countered by the strongest Thunder Attribute attacks.
Big Gray, wrapped in black and white lightning, strode forward with great strides, swinging thunder-filled claws down heavily.
The Shadow Warrior transformed into countless shadows and disappeared, merging into Big Gray’s shadow.
The Shadow placed his hands in his pockets, mockingly: "As long as my Shadow Warrior merges into the shadow, it becomes invincible."
Ye Bai smiled: "I intentionally let your Shadow Warrior merge into the shadow."
"Sunflower Emperor, Holy Light Shining."
The previously dimmed light brightened again, binding the Shadow Warrior within the shadow space.
No matter how the Shadow Warrior struggled, it couldn’t break free from the shadow’s confinement.
At this time, the Shadow could summon no more pet beasts.
"Oh no, the substitute puppet was used up last time."
"It’s over."
Looking at the approaching Big Gray, the Shadow’s eyes were filled with despair.
The massive claw swung towards the Shadow.
"No!!!"
The voice was abruptly cut off.
Under the Sunflower Emperor’s strong light, the Shadow’s power was almost completely gone, and hit by Big Gray’s Thunder Claw, he turned into a charred corpse on the spot.
A lot of items gradually surfaced, making Ye Bai deeply confident that the Shadow was truly dead.
Even the Shadow Warrior bound in Big Gray’s shadow sank back into slumber, as it had originally been forcibly awakened by the Shadow.
Ye Bai used the Eye of Insight to take away items shrouded in gray mist, then had the Sunflower Emperor clean up the battlefield.
"At last, a weight off my mind."
The school bus was safe, the Shadow was defeated by Big Gray, and Ye Bai felt the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head was one less.
