Chapter 2214: The Shadowhorror Devil’s Horror

Unfortunately, he didn’t have any way of getting revenge anymore. The starry river of sword energy passed through his body that instant.

The sturdy scales on his body had formed a powerful set of armor, which was why even though he seemed a bit slow-witted, he was often the one who came out on top when he fought at the same level. All of that was because of his life-preserving scales.

But that extremely powerful set of armor was now like paper, barely able to stop the sword energy for even a split second before it passed through his body. Then, his entire body was chopped into countless pieces… vertically.

His miserable scream came to a grunting halt. The pieces of his body were completely blasted to ashes by the sword energy.

As she watched, Jing Teng was a bit stupefied. Even though she knew that her big brother Zu was really strong, when had he become this strong? After all, the power of this sword would already rank him quite high even compared to the creatures that were locked in the great tomb she previously guarded. But it clearly hadn’t been that long since they last met!

Dark Jing Teng was also screaming in her head, “Big sis, big sis, I want him, I want him! My legs are about to go weak from watching!”

“Shut up!” White Jing Teng was ashamed and panicky. She was really glad that she shut her mouth in time, or else it would really be way too embarrassing if she ended up saying that out loud.

…

While the sisters continued to fight, Shang Liuyu was also completely dazzled. The underripe young man of the past had now already become so strong!

And he was so handsome when he swung that sword…

Compared to the endless happiness these three were feeling, the Shadowhorror Devil only felt horror inside. Every single cell in his body was crying out in fear.

It was quite laughable to think about. He was the Shadowhorror Devil, so he was supposed to be the one who inflicted horror onto others. He always enjoyed the despair and cries of alarm displayed by others when they were terrified, but only now did he understand that those feelings weren’t all that great to experience.

This human is too strong, absurdly so!

Perhaps they would be stronger without the world’s suppression, but even if they were at their strongest, they still wouldn’t be able to stop that terrifying sword.

Just how was he able to become this strong? Shouldn’t he be restricted by the source of this world? What's going on with his strength right now?

He’s cheating!

He didn’t have any time to think about anything else. He only had a single thought left in his head, which was to run and get away from that terrifying guy. Once he got back, he definitely had to warn those arrogant colleagues of his to not look down on the natives of this world, telling them that they had to send their strongest.

Only, the sealed land had now been repaired and the plan for the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons had also failed at the last moment. The strongest monsters likely wouldn't even be able to descend into this world. They could only hope to produce some results via the third path, so they could then summon the most powerful ones…

Of course, he didn’t have the energy to keep thinking about those things. The only thought left in his head was to run!

Fortunately, he had that idiot Bloodthirst Crocodile to help stall for time. The chances of escape were still quite high.

Hm? Why are my surroundings running ahead of me?

At first, he was stunned, and then he was shocked to discover that it wasn’t the surroundings running ahead of him, but that he was being sucked backward!

He sensed a frightening suction force pulling him back. He turned around and was horrified.

Zu An had reached out with his hand and was grabbing toward the air. At the center of his palm was a vortex that resembled a black hole, and the terrifying absorption force originated from none other than that.

The Shadowhorror Devil was still at the very peak of this world, and yet even after running so far away, he was pulled right back by the suction force! This kind of power only existed in some special celestial bodies across the cosmos!

There was already no time to think about anything else; he didn’t even have time to protect himself with the bell. His center of gravity grew unsteady and he was instantly sucked into Zu An’s hand. His massive body quickly shrank, and he took the form of a small elder.

“Where is that monster world of yours? Which forces are there, and who is the strongest?” Zu An’s hand gripped the top of his head. He didn’t immediately take the monster’s life, and questioned him coldly instead.

Previously, he had always been on the defensive, reacting against these monsters’ schemes. It was time for him to be proactive.

The Shadowhorror Devil gritted his teeth and said, “Just kill me if you’re going to do it anyway. You can forget about turning me into a traitor!”

“How can it be that easy for you to die?” Zu An harrumphed. He used the Heaven Devouring Sutra to make the Shadowhorror Devil’s internal energies go wild. The pain caused by that would feel as if a million needles were stabbing into his fine nerves and meridians.

“Ahhhhh!” The Shadowhorror Devil screamed bitterly. His entire body contorted and jerked as if he could faint at any time, but even through all of that, he didn’t beg for mercy.

Zu An frowned. He hadn’t expected this guy to be a tough nut to crack. He'd thought that it would be harder to make a brute like the Bloodthirst Crocodile yield, and that these sinister types were easier to wear down. It was a pity that the Firedevil Sea Beast had already died; perhaps it would have been easier to deal with that perverted guy.

Just then, Jing Teng said, “Leave this guy to me, and let me fill up a bit.”

“Fill up?” Zu An gave her a confused look.

Jing Teng’s face turned a bit red. She gave him an annoyed look. “What are you thinking? My little sister has a skill similar to yours that can swallow up the energy of another creature. Our carefully stored energy ended up being completely used up to save you, so we can just use him to supplement that.”

“This is just a start, though! What we do with big brother Zu can’t be skipped out on!” Dark Jing Teng hurriedly said.

“Shut up!” White Jing Teng felt a bit humiliated.

“Big sis, don’t you like it a lot too? Look at how your mouth doesn’t match your heart.” Dark Jing Teng harrumphed.

White Jing Teng was stunned. She retorted, “No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak!”

Shang Liuyu blinked her eyes. Her eyes darted up and down along the woman’s body.

What is that thing she's talking about?

When he saw that White Jing Teng was about to explode, Zu An considerately helped her out. “That’s good too. I’ll just leave him to you then.”

After saying that, he tossed the Shadowhorror Devil over. The Shadowhorror Devil wanted to use the chance to run, but his entire body had already been restrained by Zu An and he couldn't move at all.

Jing Teng suddenly manifested a ghost face. It opened its mouth and inhaled. Fear filled the Shadowhorror Devil’s face as he screamed, “Noooooo!”

Immediately after, a spirit struggled out of his body, and it was sucked straight into the ghost face’s mouth. The face burped in satisfaction, as if it was full.

Jing Teng then looked toward Zu An. “Big brother Zu, once we completely absorb his soul, we should be able to learn some of his memories when he was alive. Of course, there might be missing pieces in his memory, but we should be able to piece together around seventy percent of it.”

Zu An was pleasantly surprised. “That’s great!”

He wouldn't necessarily have been able to get even a bit of intelligence from this Shadowhorror Devil, but now that he could obtain seventy percent, that was already unexpectedly good news!

“I’m tired, so I’m going to sleep first. I’ll look for you once I wake up next time.” Jing Teng yawned. She had been seriously injured to begin with and just fought another great battle, and then she'd swallowed the Shadowhorror Devil’s soul. She needed to immediately sleep to slowly digest it.

Dark Jing Teng felt annoyed. “If I had known this was going to happen, I would’ve slept with Zu An first before eating this devil. Ah, this pisses me off!”

White Jing Teng was speechless. She was too embarrassed to face the people present and turned into a strand of smoke, returning to the world within the pendant.

In the end, the only ones left were Shang Liuyu and Zu An, who looked at each other in dismay.

“Did she just say that she should have slept with you first?” Shang Liuyu’s expression was full of various emotions.

“You heard wrong.” Zu An was also a bit embarrassed. Dark Jing Teng didn’t understand the ways of the world at all and just did whatever she wanted without misgivings. Even though this was a kind of pure innocence, it really did easily cause problems…

Shang Liuyu harrumphed. “My cultivation might not be high, but it isn't to the point of being deaf. Besides, with how much of a womanizer you are, which woman around you hasn't been bullied before? Even my big sis was done in by you a few days ago.”

Zu An replied with a deadly earnest expression, “What you said isn’t right, you know? We’ve known each other for so long, but I’ve never bullied you before, right?”

How could Shang Liuyu have expected such a sharp comeback? She was completely speechless and didn’t know what to say anymore. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the spot.
