The Journey of Freedom After the Awakening of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit

"But why did the Net arrive so quickly?"

A hint of doubt flashed through Moria's mind; he had never expected that he was the one who had attracted it.

But since they're definitely enemies, we should prepare something to entertain them.

Moria smiled and said to Jingni, "Wait, listen to my command!"

Without waiting for Jingni's response, Moria manipulated the shadow beneath him, sending out hundreds of toothpick-thick shadow needles that shot back and embedded themselves in the soil within a twenty-meter radius, intended for a sneak attack.

Jingni nodded as she watched this scene.

He was just waiting for the assassins from the Net to arrive. It would be even better if they liked to chatter a bit before the fight started. Moria chuckled to himself.

Whizzing!

In the woods and among the grass, dark figures surrounded Moria.

The birds with keen senses had already flown away, while those with less keen senses were now too frightened to chirp. The insects also seemed to sense a chilling sense of crisis and stopped chirping.

The entire forest fell silent at that moment.

"They stopped, they didn't run away!"

As they marched, the leading assassins of the Luo Wang (Net of Justice) level looked around and saw no signals coming from any direction. They knew that Jing Ni had discovered them and stopped in place, guessing that she probably wanted to eliminate them before leaving.

However, you, Jingni, who is either pregnant or burdened by a child, are truly our adversary.

This time, the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) sent five assassins of the "Kill" rank.

"coming!"

After a moment, Moria's gaze sharpened, and he said softly.

Jing Ni's body stiffened slightly as she stood in front of Moria, ready to respond to any attacks from all sides.

At both ends of the path, beside the large trees on both sides, and on the branches of the trees, assassins from all directions appeared, perfectly surrounding Moria and Jingni in the middle of the path.

These assassins had already drawn their longswords and pointed them at Jingni and Moria. All of them were leaning slightly forward, ready to fight at any moment, just waiting for the five killers in the lead to give the order.

"We're surrounded from all sides, including the branches of the big tree to the southeast!"

Moria glanced quickly at the five masked assassins of the Luo Wang (Net of Justice) at five different locations, smiled inwardly, and then adjusted the attack direction of the Shadow Needles buried underground, aiming them at each Luo Wang assassin.

Unfortunately, these assassins from the Net of Shadows all stepped into a twenty-meter radius around Moria, falling into the ambush zone set by Shadow Needles.

Jing Ni looked serious and didn't rush to make a move. She was waiting for Moria's instructions to coordinate with his sneak attack before launching her own.

Child!

There are also traitors from the Luo Wang organization!

The assassin from the Luo Wang organization, a level-one killer standing on the path in front of Moria and Jingni, quickly assessed the situation and then looked at Moria, saying, "Back!"

"kill!"

Before the assassin from Luo Wang could finish speaking, Moria gave a soft shout.

At the same time, hundreds of shadow needles in the soil shot towards every Luo Wang assassin, including those standing on tree branches, leaving no one unscathed.

tread!

Teng!

Upon hearing Moria's voice, Jingni instantly took a step forward, but the sword's cry abruptly stopped, and she stopped as well, staring ahead in astonishment.

At the same time, the assassin who was about to accuse Moria of betraying the Net was also abruptly stopped. He only managed to utter one word before being interrupted by dozens of shadow needles piercing his head.

The other assassins from the Luo Wang organization also felt that in an instant, countless fine black needles suddenly shot out from the ground around them, heading towards them at extremely high speed.

There's no way to avoid them; they're fast and numerous.

Some assassins may jump up and dodge the head, but they may not dodge the heart.

Finally, his body was pierced by dozens of shadow needles, and he died.

thump! thump!

Jing Ni maintained her solemn expression and sword-drawing posture, watching the Luo Wang assassins fall one after another not far ahead, and remained silent for a moment.

She was filled with a profound loneliness!

""

Shaking her head secretly, Jing Ni silently sheathed her sword, turned around and stood in front of Moria, giving him a deep look. Her eyes seemed to say, "If you could kill me instantly, you should have said so earlier. You made me pose for nothing."

How would I know! Moria returned an innocent look that he understood.

Jing Ni remained silent, took Xiao Yan'er from Moria's arms, and stood aside, looking again at the lifeless assassins of the Luo Wang organization.

That's it

Moria shook his head inwardly, feeling somewhat sad.

If these assassins from the Luo Wang organization are only this good, it's a wonder he even thought of using Shadow Needles to ambush them first, and then cooperating with Jing Ni to kill them.

Unexpectedly, a single sneak attack easily wiped out all the assassins from the Luo Wang organization.

"If you can't handle the hustle, then become a shadow servant!"

With a thought, Moria withdrew the Shadow Needle and then manipulated the shadows to transform the corpses into shadow servants, while the weapons devoured the shadows.

At this moment, Jingni explained to Moriah, "They didn't expect that my husband's Shadow Needle had neither internal energy fluctuations nor the support of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. They couldn't sense it, so naturally they couldn't think of it."

"Moreover," Jingni glanced at Moria and said, "the shadow needles that my husband controlled today were not only numerous, but also very fast. Not to mention them, I couldn't dodge so many rapidly fired shadow needle attacks."

After hearing Jingni's explanation, Moria stroked his chin, thought about it carefully, and then smiled.

He underestimated the abilities of the shadow and overestimated the physical strength of the world's powerful individuals.

In this world, apart from those who cultivate hard skills like the Armored Sect, no matter how strong others are, their physical bodies are not much stronger than ordinary people. Ordinary arrows can pierce through their bodies.

These assassins from the Net were naturally no match for the Shadow Needles that Moria controlled and fired at lightning speed.

Moreover, Shadow Needle is a special ability of his that is different from this world, and it is not supported by internal energy or the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

These assassins from the Luo Wang network, who could sense internal energy and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, were completely unaware of the Shadow Needle, especially given the close proximity.

These factors combined led to the scene where all the assassins from the Luo Wang organization were instantly wiped out.

While he was pondering, the transformation into a shadow servant was already complete.

The instant the shadow form was completed, Moria had a sudden thought and immediately closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into perception.

"Husband"

Seeing Moria suddenly stop moving, Jingni whispered something, secretly glancing around warily to protect him.

"This is forcing me to kill!" After a while, Moria opened his eyes and sighed deeply.

"Husband?" Jingni looked at Moria, her eyes filled with worry.

"It's alright!" Moria smiled.

Moria recalled the Shadow Servant to his Shadow Space, then manipulated the shadow to transform into a sofa, sat down, and looked at Jing Ni:

"Come on up, let's get out of here first."

Jingni nodded, picked up Xiaoyan'er, and sat down on the shadow sofa.

"go!"

Moria smiled, manipulated the shadow sofa to take off two thousand meters into the air, and then flew towards the stronghold.

At this height, even if someone sees it, they would just think it's some kind of big bird.

high in the air.

Moria leaned back on the shadow sofa, his hands behind his head, pondering what he had just experienced.

The fusion of his body and mind progressed slightly faster than the daily rate he had been maintaining the moment he completed the transformation of the twenty-six assassins from the Net.

When he first arrived in this world and became one of the ten assassins of the Luo Wang organization, he didn't feel much. At that time, he didn't notice that his body and mind were not integrated.

During this period, he had created quite a few snakes and birds in his shadow form, but the fusion progress did not increase at all. Even when he killed the twenty-four swordsmen guards in the city, the fusion progress did not increase.

Just today, after killing the assassin from the Luo Wang organization and transforming into a shadow servant, the fusion progress of this body and spiritual consciousness has increased by one point.

So the key isn't killing people, nor is it the animal shadow servants like birds, but the human shadow servants. Moria thought to himself.

Therefore, we need to find a place where he can collect the corpse and transform into a shadow servant as soon as possible.

This place was the first state, Han, to be destroyed by the Qin state.

As expected, it has to be Xinzheng, South Korea! Moria smiled to himself.

After all, war is where the most people die.

However, if he wants to collect the corpses in time, wouldn't it be better to have a general's position? Otherwise, with the two countries fighting to the death, rashly going to collect the corpses could not only cause hostility, but also affect his speed of converting shadow servants.

The best general position one can hope for is one that offers the opportunity to conquer the six kingdoms.

From this perspective, the general from the Qin state would be a perfect fit.

All of this seemed achievable in Xinzheng, South Korea, if only Qin Shi Huang could be persuaded. Moria thought he could do it.

Having made his decision, Moria quickly stopped the Shadow Sofa, looked at Jingni, and suggested, "Let's skip the base and go straight to Xinzheng, South Korea."

Jingni glanced at Moria without saying a word, waiting for Moria's explanation.

Moria smiled and asked, "Madam, are all the missions you carried out at the Net recorded?"

Jingni nodded: "Yes."

Moria asked again, "Those outposts, were they all built by the lady when she was on missions before?"

Jingni nodded again, then asked in confusion, "What problem does my husband think there is?"

Moria smiled and explained, "Since the Net has records of Madam's previous missions, it can naturally deduce her movements based on the records, and thus roughly guess the range of the strongholds she has set up, and carry out corresponding searches."

Upon hearing this, Jingni's two beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said softly, "What my husband means is that the reason why the Net was able to find us just now is because they had predicted the approximate location of my stronghold in advance."

Moria replied decisively, "Yes!"

Jing Ni's two willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, as if something was amiss.

She remembered that the reason the stronghold was exposed last time and attracted the assassins of the Luo Wang organization was because she went into the city to buy Xiao Yan'er's clothes. This time, she also believed that it was because Moria went into the city that it was exposed.

Isn't that right?
