What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhao Jianguo suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, his voice hoarse and unpleasant.

"Brilliant! Truly brilliant! No wonder Chen Yang has ruined so many of our Shadow Sect's plans; he lives up to his reputation."

Upon hearing this, my eyes sharpened.

I never expected that Zhao Jianguo was actually a member of the Shadow Sect.

He abruptly stopped laughing, his eyes turning as sharp as a venomous snake: "Now that you know, you can't be allowed to live any longer."

"I originally planned to have you die at the hands of the Water Demon, to stage an accidental death, but it seems I'll have to go to more trouble now."

As he spoke, he pulled out a black jade pendant from his pocket and crushed it violently.

"Let's do it!"

At his command, another strange event occurred.

"Boom!"

The earth suddenly began to shake violently.

Li Qing's expression changed drastically: "Oh no! My battle flag is broken!"

Suddenly, four jet-black beams of light shot out from the places around the shipyard where the apricot-yellow flags had been planted.

These beams of light shot into the sky, converging in mid-air to form a massive black light shield that instantly inverted the entire No. 1 dock within it.

The already gloomy sky turned completely dark at this moment, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The air suddenly became incredibly thick, as if filled with countless invisible threads, binding our movements.

Even the flow of evil energy within my body became somewhat sluggish.

Li Qing gritted his teeth: "These bastards actually put another layer of formation around the outside of my formation! They're trying to trap us here to death!"

"You have some knowledge."

A faint, elusive sound came from all directions.

Three figures slowly emerged at the edge of the black light shield.

They wore long black robes and white masks without any facial features, with only three ancient seal characters carved on their foreheads: "greed," "anger," and "ignorance."

These three people didn't deliberately release their aura, but just standing there gave me a feeling that they were not ordinary people.

That feeling was even stronger than the aura of the Shadow Sect elder who led the attack on me that time.

"Elder level..."

I took a deep breath, my fingers gripping the scalpel turning slightly white.

The elders of the Shadow Sect are usually hard to find, but today they actually sent out three of them just to deal with the two of us juniors!

Add to that the unassuming Zhao Jianguo.

This is a situation where victory is inevitable.

"Chen Yang".

The elder wearing the mask with the word "greed" on it slowly spoke: "Hand over the Ghost Gate Pass, and we might leave you with a whole corpse, or even make you one of us."

"Otherwise, we will skin you and make the finest shadow puppets, so that you will never be reincarnated."

He slowly raised his hand, and a jet-black vortex condensed at his fingertips, as if the surrounding air was frozen by this chilling power.

This should have been a moment of despair.

There was no way to go to heaven, and no way to go to hell.

There are three unfathomable elder-level masters in front, and the ruthless traitor Zhao Jianguo behind.

Above their heads was a Shadow Sect formation designed to refine them alive.

However, I did not show the fear they expected.

I turned my head and glanced at Li Qing behind me.

The guy noticed my gaze, grinned, and revealed a set of white teeth.

That smile held no trace of tragic heroism, but rather a cunning air of someone who had succeeded in their scheme.

"Old Chen, it seems that this is all the cowardly rats are capable of."

Li Qing threw the compass on the ground and even picked at his ear in a very unseemly manner.

"Hey, you old masked ghost, who did you just say you were going to skin?"

The elder's finger paused slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes behind the mask.

Faced with absolute power, the prey's reaction was clearly beyond his comprehension.

"Even on the verge of death, you still want to use your words to your advantage?"

Zhao Jianguo sneered from the side, but his sinister eyes uneasily scanned the surroundings.

"Elder, stop wasting time talking to them! Delay will only make things worse. Let's make our move!"

"Delay may lead to complications? Boss Zhao, you're absolutely right."

I looked at Zhao Jianguo, a slight smile playing on my lips: "However, it's not us who have changed, it's you."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qing suddenly raised his right foot and stomped hard into the muddy water.

"Fatty Jin! Stop worrying about money! Let's go!!"

Li Qing used all his strength to shout this, and his voice resonated within the sealed array space.

next second.

"BOOM—!!!"

A deafening roar, even louder than when the Shadow Sect's grand formation was activated, came from the outermost perimeter of the shipyard.

The earth began to tremble violently, but this time it was not the tremor of yin energy, but the surging of powerful earth energy.

The black light shield that had been covering our heads suddenly seemed to have been violently struck from the outside by something, twisting and deforming violently.

Immediately afterwards, beams of dazzling golden light, like sharp swords, forcefully pierced through the black sky!

"What...what is this?!"

Elder "Greed" cried out in alarm. He was horrified to discover that the Qi that had been circulating freely within his body had begun to surge uncontrollably, as if it had encountered some kind of natural enemy.

"This is the Heaven and Earth Throwing Golden Light Formation!"

Li Qing laughed heartily, his hands moving rapidly to form hand seals.

The apricot-yellow flags that had been stuck in the ground and appeared to be broken and ineffective suddenly burst into flames, shooting into the sky and echoing the golden light outside.

"Who do you think I, Li Qing, am? Do you think I would only set up one defensive line in such a dangerous place?"

Li Qing pointed to the golden light filling the sky outside, his face showing a mixture of pain and pride: "That fat bastard Jin Wanliang has been missing since this morning. Where do you think he went?"

Lao Tzu ordered him to take thirty-six pure gold array pillars and nail down all the earth's veins within a fifty-mile radius!

"Your formations rely on the earth's energy to generate power, but now that energy belongs to the metal element! Let's see how you handle this!"

As Li Qing finished speaking, the golden light from the outside completely overwhelmed the black aura.

The once gloomy and terrifying dock was now illuminated as if it were daytime.

Within that blinding golden light, one could faintly hear Jin Wanliang's roar, tinged with sobs:

"Li Qing! You son of a bitch! That one minute was like burning my entire fortune! If you don't reimburse me when we get back, I'm not finished with you!!"

The situation reversed in an instant.

The formation that originally suppressed us has now become a prison trapping the Shadow Sect members.

The three elders swayed, clearly having suffered severe injuries from the backlash of the formation.

"We've fallen for their trap!"

The elder wearing the mask with the character "痴" (chi, meaning foolish) on it reacted the fastest, shouting angrily, "Forget about the formation! Kill Chen Yang first! Grab the stuff and leave!"

It must be said that these old monsters of the Shadow Sect are indeed ruthless and decisive.

The moment they realized they were surrounded, they did not choose to run away, but instead chose to force their way in.
