Shadow Hack - Chapter 747
Chapter 747: Formidable Strength
The reason why Li Yunmu became so nervous from the light flickering in his chest was because he hadn’t killed Yuan Biyao just a moment ago.
He had only concealed her as the ancient secret method, but he hadn’t expected that she surprisingly wouldn’t understand his intention and intended to come out.
If Li Ying discovered it, let alone speak of allowing Li Yunmu to continue absorbing power, he might even kill him and Yuan Biyao together in the Devil World.
The strength of the devils couldn’t be doubted, not to mention that they had the protection of the world tree, so he and Yuan Biyao would be unable to escape.
Li Ying couldn’t help but curiously enquire about the golden light over Li Yunmu’s chest. “Something’s flickering in your chest? Is it a treasure?”
Li Yunmu coldly smiled and said, “Have you heard about the ancient secret method? Perhaps it had automatically reacted after sensing my strength. I stole it from Fuxi and Nuwa in the Primordial God World!”
“Ha ha ha!” Li Ying suddenly burst out laughing, then couldn’t help but say admiringly, “I appreciate your boldness. How does obtaining the power of the world tree feels?”
Just when Li Yunmu thought of saying something, the golden light in his chest finally disappeared and Yuan Biyao appeared from the ancient secret method.
Li Ying slightly creased his brows. He had personally witnessed Li Yunmu kill that woman just a moment ago, so how did she suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Li Yunmu’s complexion changed, and he began to pay attention to the flow of power. If Li Ying made things difficult for them, he was ready to fight him, but if Li Ying didn’t question him, he would continue to absorb the power of the world tree acting as if nothing had happened.
Yuan Biyao coughed, then she began to curse Li Yunmu. “You scoundrel!”
Li Ying narrowed his eyes and suddenly coldly smiled at Li Yunmu. “This woman, didn’t you already kill her? How could she still be alive, can you give me a reasonable explanation?”
Li Yunmu felt depressed in his heart. Yuan Biyao was only creating him trouble everywhere!
He pretended to feign ignorance and couldn’t help but say with creased brows, “What? Something happened? What did you see?”
Li Ying was flabbergasted, and he suspiciously asked, “You can’t see her?”
“Who are you talking about?”
Li Ying heaved a sigh of relief. “It was the woman whom you killed just a moment ago. She appeared out of the golden light which was emitting out of your chest.”
Li Yunmu snorted at his words. “I have already killed her,but she is still bothering me. Seems like she is even unwilling to die! But you can surprisingly see her? Seems like your strength is very high!”
Even after Li Ying received Li Yunmu’s praise, he was still somewhat unconvinced. Hopefully, he was just overthinking it and the woman had really died and appeared as a phantom in front of him.
“Then I will completely disperse her in your place!”
Yuan Biyao didn’t know why Li Yunmu was talking like that to Li Ying, but she could see that he was trying to protect her by doing that. After thinking about it, she began to act according to his story so as to avoid exposing his lie.
But she never expected that the hoodlum dressed in black clothes was surprisingly so ruthless that he wanted to scatter her ashes, completely erasing her from existence.
She could only look at Li Yunmu with a helpless gaze, and he promptly stopped Li Ying. “Don’t completely exterminate her, or the ancient secret method I stole will become unusable!”
Li Ying began to laugh heartily at his words. “That’s good! As long as it can assist you in increasing your strength, I will do as you want. But you must agree to destroy the Primordial God World.”
Li Yunmu withdrew Yuan Biyao into the ancient secret method. He didn’t want the foolish woman to become his weak point.
When he advanced a few steps forward, however, he discovered a woman in the world tree. “Who is this? How could she be trapped in the world tree?”
Li Ying looked at the woman, then a hint of panic flitted through his eyes before he coldly smiled. “She is my former woman, and right now I am forcing her to live using the power of the world tree.
“Everything is because of the Primordial God World, she became like this because of them. I hate those gods, and the reason I turned into a devil is because I wanted to fight against them until the end, until I could completely drive them out of the Ancient Lands.”
Li Yunmu was deeply moved by Li Ying’s story. After turning into the devil, he had absorbed the power of the world tree, and his strength had increased by a lot.
“I will agree to destroy the Primordial God World, but you need to do me a favor!” Li Yunmu stated before looking at Li Ying somewhat greedily. “Although you helped me increase my strength, I still want to obtain your strength. It would be better if you helped me and allowed me to absorb your power as well. Then I will help you destroy the Primordial God World!”
Li Ying’s complexion changed when he heard Li Yunmu’s ambitions. He suddenly felt that bringing Li Yunmu to the Devil World had probably been a bad idea. Greed was his inherent nature, so it would have been better to destroy the insatiable mortal.
“Are you thinking of playing a trick on me? Hmph, if that’s the case, then you don’t need to leave the Devil World. After absorbing the power of the world tree, you even intend to kill me. What are you even planning?”
“Idiot, I followed you to the Devil World only to obtain power. I don’t care about matters which aren’t related to me obtaining strength and you are the only person who can increase my strength.”
“You!”
Li Ying’s body shuddered at that moment, and he transformed into a black shadow, ready to battle Li Yunmu to the death.
Li Yunmu looked at Flowing Moon City covered in darkness, then coldly sneered at Li Ying. “Everything is according to my taste here, did you know that? Li Ying! I must thank you properly.”
Li Ying’s complexion changed abruptly. What exactly was the origin of that guy? In the beginning, he thought that Li Yunmu was determined to enter the devil path because he hated Primordial God World, but it showed up that he had some other aim. Li Ying couldn’t help being astonished.
“You!”
Li Ying, who had already turned into a black shadow, was confused.
Li Yunmu didn’t use the Great Devouring Technique. After using the Dark State, his presence was already similar to that of Li Ying.
“I must thank you properly for raising my strength to this level, ha ha ha ha! I will absorb you now, but there won’t be any pain. Don’t worry!”
