Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 228 Phantom Phantom Reappearance

Yellow sand filled the sky, in the center of the sandstorm vortex, three old men huddled and hid aside, and a young man was spreading his soul power with all his strength, covering this desert space completely, not letting go of any abnormalities. fluctuation.

Previously, Ye Shuo used his spiritual sense to integrate into the "Spirit Enlightenment Talisman", traced it backwards, and keenly discovered the hiding place where the enemy was hidden.However, that enemy seemed to be sharper than him. As soon as his consciousness swept towards the direction of Populus euphratica, the body with condensed energy disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Ye Shuo immediately took control of the entire space. At this moment, even an ant crawling across the sand would not be able to escape his senses.But even so, there was no trace of that enemy.The three old men on the sidelines could only think that the enemy had escaped in some clever way.

However, Ye Shuo has profound attainments in the soul.

Soul fluctuations are different for everyone, which is even deeper than the intuitive images such as appearance and voice, and is the most essential difference.At that moment just now, he had directly touched the fluctuation of that person's soul, and it was firmly engraved in his consciousness.

He can be sure that the other party must have not left this area, but he doesn't know where he hid.

Quite strange, he could clearly sense a wave of energy rapidly approaching him, but he couldn't see a single figure in all directions.Could it be that he can still drill into the ground, or even fly into the sky?

The more he couldn't find it, the more his heart sank.Judging from the man's manipulation of the "Enlightenment Talisman", his strength is definitely not weak, and at the same time he has such a superb concealment technique, how difficult will such an enemy be to deal with?

Taking a deep breath, Ye Shuo doubled his soul power again, scanning every space around him inch by inch.Because the power of this soul was too strong, the nearby air currents were distorted unnaturally, sweeping up waves of sand, surrounding his body, and spreading rhythmically as his spiritual sense explored the trajectory. open.

This was the first scene.

"Eh? Brother, you...your shadow!..." When Ye Shuo was at a loss, Qi Lan who was standing not far away suddenly pointed at his shadow and shouted in surprise.

"...Shadow?" Ye Shuo was puzzled.He lowered his head and glanced, and only had time to see that under the sunlight, his own shadow became a little strange, like a villain trapped in a black cloth package, about to come out with his teeth and claws.Before he could think about the reason for this vision, the grains of sand in front of his toes suddenly squirmed quickly, and a man in black jumped out from his shadow.

This became hasty, who would have thought that his own shadow was actually hiding and killing?Not to mention how did the enemy hide in such a place?Ye Shuo didn't come back to his senses at all, he could only watch helplessly as the man swung a long knife at the same time as he jumped up, slanting towards him from bottom to top.

"Brother!" Qi Lan exclaimed, and the expressions of the three old men beside him also changed.But in the next moment, they saw a golden light shining in front of Ye Shuo, and the sharp blade made sparks in the air, but they couldn't hurt him at all.The four of them thought that he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and that he was able to set up the defensive mask in time, and they couldn't help but secretly admired him.

But in fact, only Ye Shuo knew that he had just faced a real life-and-death situation.If it wasn't for the Spirit Shield protecting the Lord himself in times of crisis, maybe he wouldn't be able to stand here properly now.

Since the aura shield was connected to his soul, he could understand the attack route of the man in black through the feedback waves on the shield surface.

The other party planned to stab him from the lower abdomen, cut open the chest along the way, and finally picked it out from the throat.The attack was extremely fierce, and the movements were as fast as ghosts. After appearing, he immediately launched an attack, and the two of them didn't even meet each other.

This also means that the other party didn't intend to give him a chance to survive at all, and it doesn't matter to kill innocent people by mistake.Coupled with the endless strange tricks, only well-trained killers can do it.

The man in black couldn't take a single blow, and he didn't like to fight. With the recoil of the blade hitting the aura shield, he shot X meters away like an arrow, and he was about to run away.

This person is so ruthless, if he is let go casually, it will be a threat to other people who are active in Tianlan Secret Realm at the moment.Now even if it's not about those three old men, Ye Shuo can no longer stand by and watch.

With a thought, a big radish appeared in both hands. The whole body of this big radish is as warm and moist as white jade, and the whole body is surrounded by a surge of energy. You can tell its strength at a glance, but this After all, the appearance of a weapon is a big carrot.

Although I just got two shocking swords, I have never used them before, and I am not familiar with their various methods of use.To deal with this difficult enemy in front of you, it is better to use the weapons you are used to.

Ye Shuo thought so.But he forgot that the appearance of this energy weapon was too shocking, and the three old men beside him who were used to seeing treasures all looked straight at it.

"... If I'm not mistaken, what he is holding in his hand seems to be a big carrot?" Wen Yuan rubbed his eyes repeatedly, even suspecting that his old eyesight had come early.

"...That's right. It's a carrot." Jiang Yun also had a suspicious tone.

At the same time, the three of them turned their gazes to Qi Lan, who looked so surprised that his jaw was about to drop, they retracted their gaze in a tacit understanding, and continued to stare at the lifelike radish. Silently widened the already round eyes a little bit.

"The radish soars to the sky! The radish soars to the sky!" Ye Shuo didn't care about the amazement caused by his radish at this moment, he raised the root of the radish and fired two cannons at the ghostly shadow in front of him.

The man in black didn't even move, as two shells of spiritual power hit him right on his body.But at the moment when the cannonball was close to the body, his figure had a strange blur, as if he had transformed from a solid state to a gaseous state without any violation.The cannonball passed through the body, two shots in total, as if hitting a cloud of black mist, only a few clouds of smoke were blown up, and after a while of wriggling, the gap was quickly filled again, which did not affect him. cause any damage.

The two shells penetrated his body and hit the trunk of the Populus euphratica tree not far away. There was a "boom", and the whole tree was blown into a ball of powder, and the flames shot into the sky. It seems to be witnessing the power of this attack.

Ye Shuo didn't bother to pay attention to the three elders' outbursts. He already knew that this enemy must be difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that he seemed to have underestimated the difficulty of the enemy.Can change between virtual and real at will?This alone was enough to give him a headache.

Before he could think of a countermeasure, the man in black had already struck first.The two arms stretched out suddenly, turned into a void and solidified, and rushed towards him like two long snakes.In the middle of the process, they spread widely to both sides, as if they were going to advance until they were parallel to his neck, and then suddenly outflanked him left and right, so that he could block one side without being able to block the other side.

Ye Shuo frowned.It stands to reason that it is impossible for a normal person's arms to extend so long, and the two attacks in the air are indeed false and real, maybe they are just foggy tricks.When he put all his energy into this move, who knows what tricks the man in black will perform?But not afraid of [-], just in case, Ye Shuo locked his soul power firmly on the opponent, at the same time lifted the carrot, and slammed it hard at the left arm.

Sure enough, although he had directly hit the target, there was no sense of force in his hand, and the arm disintegrated into a phantom.

Just when Ye Shuo was sure that his judgment was correct, and he was staring at the man in black with all his attention, his right arm, which he had neglected, suddenly turned obliquely, circled around his head, circled several times, and firmly restrained him. his neck.

"Hmm..." Ye Shuo's eyes suddenly blurred, and a real sense of suffocation swept over his whole body in an instant.This arm is not a phantom, it is indeed real. Can he actually control two arms, one virtual and one real, during the attack?I miscalculated...

But... Now that you're attacking, I don't believe it. You can still say that you're going to be virtual...Ye Shuo gritted his teeth, concentrated his energy, and covered his palm with a layer of fire elements. It snapped down to the arm in the neck.

"Ha...this time, let's catch you...!"

A moment ago, it was clear that he had already grasped something real in his palm, but that arm was rapidly blurring. Ye Shuo only felt that what he was holding in his hand was a handful of water. No matter how hard he tried, it would be futile. , Wisps of black mist continued to leak out from between his fingers, the only consolation seemed to be that the pressure in his throat was also gradually reducing, and fresh air was being poured into his mouth and nose in large quantities.

When Ye Shuo was panting heavily, the body of the man in black quickly shrank into a wisp of black mist, plunged into the sand, and quickly swam in the opposite direction.From the looks of it, although his abilities will always give the enemy headaches, he himself does not like to fight head-on.

"Little friend, be careful! He's heading towards you!" The Second Elder, who had been carefully observing the whereabouts of the black shadow, suddenly yelled at Qi Lan.

"What...? Wow! Don't come here!" Qi Lan only saw a black shadow breaking through the waves on the sand in front of him. It was so menacing that it seemed that it would come out from under her feet in the next moment, and she was so frightened Dodging to the side, he fell a few steps before he managed to stand still.

Qi Lan glanced at her feet and saw a black shadow that seemed to be entangled at her feet, and quickly raised her heels and stomped fiercely: "Get out! Get out! Get out!" After tossing for a long time, she realized that it was her own shadow.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo hurried to support Qi Lan, but Qi Lan's shadow suddenly moved him.

"What's the matter? Wow... don't...!" Qi Lan ran towards Ye Shuo with her arms wide open as if she was out of control.

"...Hey! Get out of the way!..." Ye Shuo summoned a soft wind element to protect Qi Lan at the moment when Qi Lan was about to bump into him.

However, Qi Lan's body was manipulated, the force of the impact was too great, Ye Shuo only heard Qi Lan's scream, he had already hit the wind element solidly, lying in mid-air with stars staring at him , could not struggle for a long time.

Fortunately, there was this layer of soft wind element, otherwise the two would have bumped into each other, and even if Ye Shuo was fine, Qi Lan would probably have been smashed to pieces.

Qi Lan's shadow squirmed, and another black shadow emerged from it.Half of her body came out of the sand, examining Qi Lan's embarrassment, as if she was laughing silently.Then it penetrated into the sand again, fleeing far away, this time it really went far away.

Ye Shuo wanted to go forward to pursue him, but Qi Lan suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, his companion was seriously injured, Ye Shuo didn't care about chasing him anymore, and hurried forward to rescue Qi Lan.

After another long time, Qi Lan rubbed her head and stood up with difficulty.

And the three old men also rushed over to meet them, and asked with lingering fear: "That one just now... what kind of monster is that? Will he come again in the future?"

Ye Shuo helped Qi Lan press his temples and pinch the bridge of his nose again, and finally waited until the golden stars in front of his eyes dissipated and his complexion improved, before replying, "The one just now, if I'm not mistaken, Senior Brother Chu and I fought with him before. Make friends. Those are people from the black market."

Back then in Dingtian City, in order to raise funds to purchase the Jiuqu Xuanyin Pill, Ye Shuo sent the secret method of controlling the soul obtained in the cave to the auction house for evaluation.

This was seen by Ruan Wei, who followed closely behind. In order to ask the mantis to catch the cicada, the oriole followed, and sold the news that he was pregnant with a treasure to the black market.Later, Ye Shuo and Chu Tianyao were attacked by the black market in an alley. The two enemies who attacked were special professionals, one was an illusionist and the other was a puppet master. After the defeat, they both died to protect their master's information. die on the spot.At that time, the No. 3 black-clothed killer who came with the two of them had been hiding in the storage ring of the puppeteer.

When the puppet master was defeated in a bitter battle, he suddenly appeared and attacked Chu Tianyao, and immediately withdrew if he failed in one blow.Although Ye Shuo didn't fight him directly at that time, the ghostly figure of the man in black and the means by which he could hide himself in the shadows were still deeply in his memory.

Today's meeting also allowed him to quickly draw an equal sign between the two.

"...the black market?!" The three old men looked at each other, and they could see a deep horror in each other's eyes.

Although they traveled all over the world, they have always been quite afraid of this huge and intertwined force all over the place.There is a saying that it is easy to dodge an open gun, but hard to defend against a hidden arrow. For those famous and powerful forces, if you can't beat them, just run away.But the revenge of the black market is silent, stabbing you in the back when you are most caught off guard.

After all, in their eyes, there is no such thing as self-respect, and no matter how dirty and vicious means can be used against the target.This also leads to their very low miss rate.
