Samsara Paradise: Shadow King

Chapter 155 The old man in the fog

It is difficult to describe what kind of state Zhao Zijin was in at that moment. Perhaps, it was not until just now that he came into contact with the [Shadow] in that short period of time.

Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, some of them he didn't even dare to let stay in his mind. For the time being, he pretended that nothing had happened. The other party still refused to show up, and it seemed that he was more inclined to maintain this false peace. situation.

Gu Xiong stepped forward to help Zhao Zijin, and Siwa took the medicine gourd from his hand. He had always emphasized that he was a greedy person, so naturally he would have no shortage of recovery products on hand, but from now on After Yongzhen got this gourd, he felt that he could free up a large part of his savings space for things other than recovery items.

When Yongzhen took out the gourd, Zhao Zijin looked at the gourd that looked exactly the same as the one on Langshou. He had a hard time suppressing his extravagant thoughts. He almost had to clenched his teeth to prevent himself from saying, "You gourd, give it to me." Is it a male or a female?" and "Is this gourd given to me alone, or is it shared by others?".

Introduction: A gourd filled with potion to restore injuries. By resting, the gourd's potion can be filled again. It was created by a disciple of the rare miraculous doctor Daoxuan. It has strange features such as its own ability to pour out potions, but there is a mystery behind it.

Zhao Zijin first swallowed two pills and drank a large mouthful of potion. Then he asked Siwa to hold the potion in his mouth, spray it on the wound, and then bandaged the wound with a therapeutic bandage. After doing all this, he Caihou fearfully looked at the assassin's body. Judging from his face and attire, he could match that of the public relations man.

As expected of an assassin marked as dangerous in the elemental front intelligence, the defense of the shadow soldiers and the renegade ninjas of the Lone Shadows is of course not only the one gathered around them, but there are many lurking in the dark, vigilant like him and the Lone Shadows. The assassins sneaked in and beheaded Zhao Zijin or Lei Huang Xianzhi.

Unexpectedly, he approached his assassination target with such swagger that everyone subconsciously ignored his existence and even cooperated with his actions. Everyone's senses seemed to be covered with a filter, and through They couldn't see the existence of the public relations man at all through this filter. This was only his current ability. Zhao Zijin couldn't believe how terrifying this ability would become when it was improved in the future.

Whether it is to let the deceived guardians' minds recognize the objects they protect as their enemies, or to blind the assassination target from the concept of his own "life", thereby destroying himself silently, regardless of whether it is No matter what the means, those around you that you trust, rely on, and protect you will remain indifferent to this.

Such power, such power, such terrifying power, should naturally be used by him!

"Your Excellency Renhuaji, are you okay?"

Lei Huang Xianzhi looked at the figure that was bent down and could not stop shaking, and asked with some worry.

Zhao Zijin hid the heat in his eyes, stopped his trembling body, straightened up, showed a smile, and said:

"No worries! I'm fine!"

He came to the body of the public relations man. After the [Hand of Dominator] was promoted, without a power carrier, he could only complete one rotation of [Mesak] under normal circumstances, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength. If he had gone ahead and executed it, he could have increased the number of rotations to two or three at most. However, just now, he put [Mesak] on the opponent's neck and limbs at the same time, and at high speed It spun as many as seven times!

He forced himself not to dwell on this aspect, and simply focused on his breathing, recalling the feeling of that moment.

He stretched out his right hand and pointed his fingers at the public relations man's torso. The power of shadow clung to it. He felt that some kind of existence was disappearing on it, and the power in his hand could make them remain.

"stand up!"

Different from the simple activation of skills in the past, this time he felt in great detail the changes caused by the power of shadow entering the body of the dead person when [Shadow Extraction] was activated. He could also control it to a certain extent, allowing This power of shadow preserves as much of what is truly valuable as possible.

He has a good metaphor to describe this change. If the activation of skills is like catching a doll in a claw machine, then before that, the clip in the claw machine just moved in a disorderly trajectory, and he could only press the button. Button, the ability to let the claws go down to grab, what he can catch depends on luck, but now, he has a joystick, and he can use the joystick to operate the claws to grab what he likes.

The assassin stood up again in his shadow body and returned to the world of the living. Then, facing the master who gave him new life, he knelt down again.

"Let's call you Nightmare!"

Tip: After the nightmare dies, it will cost 138 mana points to regenerate. A large part of the final cause of death of this guy who played with the soul was due to the severe damage he suffered from the spiritual level. This made Zhao Zijin a little bit sad, but he felt more regretful about it. At that time, the extracted nightmare was greatly powerful. At a discount, fortunately, I have retained the core of his ability. As long as he cultivates it more, a series of methods he used during his lifetime can still be reproduced.

He calmed down and returned to the entrance of the cave, looking out at the mist. It was quiet there and there was no movement.

"Old man."

And in the mist, Ashina Isshin has been fighting fiercely for some time!

It is said to be a battle group-level unit, but that is just an expectation for the development of the Sheathless Blade at this stage. Although every member of it is of good strength and can be called an elite, there is a hard condition problem such as insufficient manpower. It still makes them look a little struggling in this battle.

Ninja Butterfly, Aoi, Giyu Tomioka, Mitsuri Kanroji, Kobanai Iguro, Hachimaru, Zenitsu Gatsuma, Takamine Torado, the skinning monkey, the bone-breaking monkey, and they didn't practice swordsmanship well before this. They just use the sword as a combat weapon. The main means of killing enemies are other weapons such as Wei Tuotian and Takikawa War Department Shaocheng Hu Sheng. There are a total of twelve members. It is more appropriate to say that they are a small team.

The Lion Ape uses a knife, but Zhao Zijin has other plans for him, as does the Guyingzhong. Zhao Zijin hopes to integrate them into a war group specializing in stealth assassinations.

Their opponents are enslaved and cursed undead souls. There are endless numbers of them. Some are villagers in rural villages, some are ancient warriors who have been dead for who knows how many years, and some are from the Bodhisattva Valley. The dead from the multi-party battles are probably the same as Zhao Zijin's [Shadow Extraction]. Were some of these dead secretly collected by the inner government at that time?

There was no time to think about it, these resentful undead were tortured by the curse, and became crazy because of the pain. They howled and launched a fearless attack on the unsheathed blade. The number was so large that it almost overwhelmed them. They are drowning!

This is not over yet. The tall being who is fighting Ashina Isshin at this time is a more ferocious and powerful resentful spirit. It looks like a strong man holding a big sword, but there is a strong wind around him, amplifying his attack. At the same time, it is also reducing the power of the old man's slashing.

But the old man is an old man after all. After more than a dozen moves, he saw through the opponent's door. After letting Tomioka Yoshiyu temporarily take over his battle, the old man pushed himself into the protection of everyone, and the flames surging on his body gradually It was extinguished and replaced by the bright light of the moon. The He Dao state blessed on the blade also provided different bonuses due to the state of the old man's form.

"Secret · One Heart!"

The sharp sword light flashed by, followed by countless sword lights that appeared one after another. They surrounded Feng Gui. Each sword light became sharper due to the blessing of He Dao Yue. Feng Gui protected himself. Feng Gang only persisted for a few seconds before he was broken through, cut into dozens of pieces, fell to the ground and disappeared with a breeze.

Ashina freed up his hands to help other unsheathed blades fight, and the team was finally able to move forward again. However, after a while, the old man suddenly felt a warning in his heart. In the state of [Merious Moon], his perception Her strength was greatly improved, and she immediately stepped to the side of Butterfly Ninja and blocked an invisible enemy's attack for her.

The old man fought another dozen moves with the enemy, but fortunately he changed his form. Otherwise, he would not have been able to stabilize the situation under the attack of the invisible enemy like he did now, let alone figure out the opponent's path. .

The Immortal Slash in his hand danced with continuous sword light, and the old man once again shouted to Tomioka Giyu, but this time, it was him who took the lead.

The blade entwined with the cold water slashed at the invisible ghost's body, and the effect was immediate. In less than half a minute, a shrill wail was heard, and the figure that had become visible due to the frost suddenly dissipated.

The two of them did not stop. The others of the Sheathless Blade were once again surrounded by the resentful undead, and they had to spend time cleaning up before they could move forward.

Next, they met the water ghost again. By lifting up the soil and contaminating the opponent's body, the old man broke through its defense and killed it.

Then there was a strong golden ghost holding a ghost gold stick. The old man switched back to the form of [Desolate Sun] and used the power of flames to complete the kill.

The team stopped and walked around, but they also approached Qingxing Deng. The ghost still kept its charming smile and stayed in its original position watching them.

Ashina waited until the distance was close enough and struck out a barrage of thunder first. When the ghosts and ghosts encountered the golden thunder that symbolized the power of heaven and earth, they thought they had no ability to resist, but in the blink of an eye, he paused. Not only himself, but also all the unsheathed blades stopped moving forward after reacting with a roar.

Another undead soul came out of the mist. They just walked over slowly. The resentful undead souls that had been besieging them screamed in fear and fled in all directions. Ashina understood the reason. I don’t know how many people have been killed, but the blood and blood of the murderous spirit still remains even after the body is dead. Let alone the ordinary resentful souls and undead, just a trace of them is no less than if the opponent personally kills his spirit body. , by that time, he was really out of his mind.

The other person looked quite old, with messy hair and pale beard. He was only wearing clothes that were only protective, and he was holding an ordinary long knife. But standing there, Ashina Isshin could see through those eyes. To the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The restlessness coming from the depths of his soul made Ashina couldn't help but lick his lips. He slowly got into a fighting stance, and the fighting spirit that burst out was undisguised.

The Unsheathed Blades retreated together and fought with the resentful undead who had regrouped in the rear. They understood that they would not be able to interfere in the next battle, not only because the strength of both sides far exceeded them, but also Ashina Isshin. An order was given to them.

The success or failure of their operation depends entirely on this confrontation between Ashina Isshin and the old man!

If they win, they will go straight to Huanglong and extinguish the Qingxing Lantern!

If they fail, they will be sent to resurrection by the old man, declaring the failure of the operation!

Outside the thick fog, Zhao Zijin clenched his fists unconsciously in anticipation of the old man's triumphant return.

On the other side of the inner palace, Alpine Eagle clutched the spell tool and murmured:

"I hope this charlatan can successfully replace Isshin Ashina!"
