Shadow Hack - Chapter 839
Chapter 839: Torture Fest
“Take a look, after the great elders of the four clans awakened, they are stamping with fury like a group of clowns.”
“These gods are the direct descendants of the clans and have precious status, even in these dire straits. If it was you, would you seal their cultivation and throw them in the colosseum among a group of beasts?”
“I wouldn’t dare. Why would I want to attract their hatred?”
Li Yunmu demonically smiled and hugged Brunhilda even tighter. When seen from the back, the two of them sitting on the hammer looked like they had been glued together.
Everyone in the spectator stand saw that the situation of the three young masters and four great elders was becoming increasingly more desperate as the battle continued and began to panic in their heart, but no one dared to utter any sound.
In the arena, the four great elders were protecting the three young masters while looking at the beasts surrounding them with weapons in their hands. After a careful count, the number of beasts seemed to surpass thirty, which was far more than a dozen beasts from a moment ago.
When the smell of blood reeking from the bodies of such a large number of beasts concentrated together, it became extremely terrifying. Even the four great elders felt dizzy once it entered their noses. They tightly shut their mouths and began slashing at the beasts charging toward them.
Since they were gods, the hardness of their fleshly bodies had reached the level of metal long ago. No beast was able to cause injury to them.
But the three young masters were quite a burden, so the four great elders did not dare to charge forward and go on a killing spree against the beasts. Even if they could settle the thirty beasts in a short time, during that time, the three young masters with soft skin would be bitten and turned into mincemeat.
Without any choice, the four great elders remained by the side of the three young masters while brandishing their weapons, on alert against the attacking beasts.
When had they ever been reduced to such a state?
Each and every one of them hated Chen Xiu, who sat on the iron hammer, to the bone and killed him countless times in their hearts.
The three young masters were standing behind the four great elders with wooden expressions, feeling completely numb. The four great elders had also been captured and thrown in, which left the three of them frightened of Chen Xiu. In their heart, the felt that even if the patriarchs came, they still wouldn’t be able to save them.
This thought became more deep-rooted with the passing of time and their conviction that they were born to stand above others was gradually smashed into pieces.
As time went by, the three became completely apathetic and resigned themselves to their fate.
Several beasts were walking back and forth in front of the four great elders while gazing at them with red eyes. Other beasts also formed a circle around them. After they squeezed together, their joint step caused the stage to shake.
It was a rule in the colosseum to keep the beasts unfed so as to preserve them in the state of extreme starvation in order to bring out their vicious nature.
Guided by hunger, the vicious beasts would do everything in their power to kill the fighters and eat them.
All thirty of the vicious beasts were like that. With their stomachs rumbling in hunger, they locked onto the three young masters with weak fleshly bodies. But the four people standing in front of them were emitting dangerous vibes so the beasts could only continue waiting.
One of them, however, could not endure it and charged toward the four great elders alone. It was instantly killed.
After seeing their fellow comrade die, none of the other beasts dared to go forward and continued surrounding the three young masters and the four great elders.
The two sides were in deadlock while waiting for an opportunity.
Li Yunmu looked at the deadlock underneath with a faint smile and mumbled to himself, “This battle is really dull. It has unexpectedly reached a deadlock. This won’t do, it isn’t in accordance with the atmosphere of the colosseum. The battles should be more exciting.”
He waved one hand and conjured a black mist in the air which looked like a cloud and emitted a terrifying presence. It floated down to the arena underneath where it turned into threads and entered the bodies of the beasts.
The four elders looked at the threads of black fog and sensed a terrifying presence from them. When the threads entered the bodies of the beasts, the four of them were shocked and loudly shouted, “Not good!”
As they said those words, the vicious beasts began to undergo a transformation spurred on by the black threads, and the presence coming from their bodies became much stronger. A hint of intelligence appeared in their eyes. The thirty beasts looked at the sky and began to howl, and within a moment, the entire colosseum was filled with a deafening noise.
“Damn it, this Chen Xiu is mentally twisted. How could he torture us to this extent.”
“He was born a branch family descendant and supposed to be a servant. But now, in a short time, he has become a god so naturally his thoughts have become extremely distorted because of his hate toward the direct descendants.”
“Everyone say a few words to him and don’t look at the arena.”
The elder of Rahu Clan voice was filled with hate.
Their situation did not look good. Previously, even if they were against thirty beasts, the strength of any individual beast did not surpass great flux expert stage. Even if the cultivation of the gods was sealed, their fleshly bodies were still extremely hard, which had brought the battle to a deadlock.
When the black mist entered the bodies of the vicious beasts, they were raised to the level of devil beasts, and their strength entered initial stage sage flux realm. With more than thirty initial stage sage flux stage devil beasts advancing towards them, the four elders with strong bodies began to panic. If the thirty beasts really attacked them, the three young masters would definitely die.
After experiencing such an event, the three of them would not be able to maintain their positions, but the three of them were still the biological heirs of the clan patriarchs, so they had to survive.
The four great elders tightened the circle around the three young masters and looked at the intelligent devil beasts surrounding them. Several devil beasts were pacing in front of them while looking at them with red eyes.
With more howling, the thirty devil beasts seemed to have reached some sort of understanding and charged toward the four great elders in unison while releasing their presence. The colosseum was suddenly drowned in a large amount of paint that had all sorts of colours. The three young masters and the four great elders were submerged in them and completely disappeared.
“This is a good show. Those four old bastards have managed to come on time,” Li Yunmu mumbled and looked at the distorted sky above the colosseum.
At that moment, four silhouettes appeared in the sky, and divine presence filled the colosseum. One of the figures stretched its hand, and it extended endlessly while the palm continued to enlarge. The enormous palm grabbed some of the devil beasts and crushed them.
When the other devil beasts saw that, they instantly stopped in their tracks and began to observe the situation. In the center of the devil beasts, the four great elders with tattered clothes looked at the four silhouettes, and their taut expressions loosened.
When the three young masters surrounded by them noticed the four figures, their originally numb expressions crumbled and they knelt on the ground where they began to wail loudly.
Jiao Xiu looked at Chen Xiu sitting on the iron hammer, and a smile appeared on his expressionless face.
“Lord ancestor, why are you bullying the younger generation of the clan? Have they made some mistakes?” he asked respectfully.
When faced with Jiao Xiu’s respectful attitude, Li Yunmu was slightly startled. He hadn’t expected that the patriarch of the Morrow Clan would surprisingly be so respectful. Regardless of whether he was sincere or feigning it, someone with a high status acting like that in front of others had to be the shrewdest type of person.
