Shadow Hack

Panda Novel

The residence of the Deva Clan was near the entrance. Within it, there was a tall minaret in which three figures could be seen. They were looking at the entrance and swaying the crystal wineglasses in their hands from time to time.

Domingle, whose face was still pale, sensed that a god’s presence had appeared near the entrance, and a hint of astonishment appeared on his face. He said with a smile:

“I hadn’t expected that it was really that branch family descendant,” he said with a smile. “His courage is really great. He surprisingly even dares to use Asura Eyes. If he hadn’t taken out this treasure, then perhaps he might have been cleansed of all suspicions.”

While sitting on a mahogany chair, Luo Tian looked at the crystal wineglass in his giant hand and carefully adjusted it before saying, “It is still a pity.”

Jasmine was clad in red muslin and still wearing a veil on her face. She put down the wineglass and said with a smile, “This Chen Xiu is quite intelligent. Even if he wasn’t related to Ming Xiu’s death, as long as he had followed Ming Wang, the only ending awaiting him would be death.

“Patriarch Jiao Xiu would’ve killed him to bury him with his treasured son. So he had to use Asura Eyes to raise his strength to god realm to survive. It was the only gamble he could take.”

The one-track minded Luo Tian nodded, then his eyes shone as if he had thought of something, and he asked with some doubt, “Since he knew this was going to happen, why did he return? Wouldn’t it be better for him to flee to other regions? Returning here is the same as courting death.”

When Jasmine heard that, she rolled her eyes but did not reply, focusing on savoring the exquisite wine in the crystal wineglass.

Domingle leaned across the railing and said, “If he hadn’t returned, then only death would await him too. God father is prepared to attack the other six ancient gods, so Lanlou will be unified sooner or later. At that time, the entire Lanlou will belong to the Asura clans. Then where could Chen Xiu escape? Moreover, he is only a great flux expert, so he couldn’t escape very far.”

“Since he knew that he would be hunted down, why did he kill Ming Xiu? And after killing the young master, he dared to return so brazenly. Admirable,” Jasmine mumbled.

She recalled the shadow that was in her heart after being summoned by Jiao Xiu. He had used the Patriarch token to call the three young masters to understand the situation. At that time, saying one wrong sentence would have been equivalent to death. Jasmine could sense the concealed killing intent from Jiao Xiu.

But fortunately, they were able to escape from that visitor’s hall using Chen Xiu’s name.

“What exactly is this Chen Xiu planning to do?”

Jasmine snapped to reality and looked before them. A black shadow was quickly running away from the entrance and toward the city lord’s mansion at the peak of the upper city. Behind it, there was another black shadow chasing after it.

“Chen Xiu wants to go to the city lord’s mansion? Is he thinking of seeking protection from the city lord or does he want to exchange some information for a chance at survival?”

“This is a good show. Let’s go to the city lord’s mansion to take a look.”

A hint of madness flashed in the eyes of the three young masters, and they placed their crystal wineglasses before walking out of the minaret.

A few minutes earlier at the gates, Ming Wang took note of how Chen Xiu’s subordinates defeated the elites of Morrow Clan in a few breaths and was slightly astonished.

A cold smile appeared at the corners of his mouth then, and he said with a smile, “No wonder he could kill young master. It was because he had hired these experts through the guild.”

Ming Xiu had been given the clan’s treasure Asura Eyes before he left, and he had brought with him nine subordinates who were powerful branch family descendants. If Chen Xiu had hired some inferior subordinates from the guild, he would have had no opportunity to kill Ming Xiu. So the only possibility was that Chen Xiu had found some top class experts through the guild.

But in any case, once Ming Xiu was dead, Patriarch Jiao Xiu would know. He had even summoned the three young masters to Morrow Clan. If they had been the ones to kill Ming Xiu, they wouldn’t have left the visitor’s hall alive.

How could a god’s fury be pacified so easily?

Chen Xiu taking out Asura Eyes proved that he was the culprit behind young master’s murder. So regardless of however he struggled, he would not be able to escape death.

A terrifying pressure burst out from Ming Wang’s body, and his half god presence erupted forth. He then went after Chen Xiu.

Two blurs collided in the sky , generating a powerful wind that sent dust flying everywhere. The two blurs separated soon, and one after another, light beams filled with destructive energy appeared. They forced Ming Wang to retreat a few meters.

He descended to the ground to avoid the light beams coming at him with astonishment on his face.

“You have already become an initial stage sage flux expert?!” he shouted out.

Chen Xiu cracked his neck before saying with a frosty expression, “So you know now! Today, I want to see whether you, a half god is more ferocious or I, a temporary god, is more powerful.”

Chen Xiu was rejoicing in his heart that while rushing over, he had been able to become an initial stage sage flux expert under the guidance of master and mistress.

The first cultivation barrier was easily broken.

Ming Wang did not reply. A ninth layer great flux expert was completely different from initial stage sage flux expert. Even if the former used Asura Eyes to obtain the strength of a god, he would not be able to control it properly and, at most, would be equally matched with a half god.

As for a sage flux expert, they could use Asura Eyes completely and fully control their god strength.

“Boastful words, it is still borrowed strength in the end. I don’t believe you can defeat me. You will still lose in the end.”

Ming Wang coldly snorted and turned into a blur that charged toward him.

Chen Xiu also turned into a blur in the spacious street and fled. From time to time, he would send out two rays of light beams through his eyes towards Ming Wang. When they touched the ground, they created two thumb-sized holes.

Ming Wang stopped in the air and looked at Chen Xiu who had turned into a blur. Furious, he pressed his hands to his chest and formed a strange sign. Suddenly, another him with eyes closed appeared behind his main body. It was also emitting a half god’s presence.

When Chen Xiu saw that Ming Wang was using the clan’s secret method, his expression tightened. The people with the purest bloodline in Morrow Clan would grow three heads, which was the perfect form of the Morrow clansmen. Those with impure bloodlines like Ming Wang and Chen Xiu only had two faces, one at the front and one at the back.

The forbidden technique passed down in the Morrow Clan allowed them to separate their body into two. Both would retain the same strength, and they would share their thoughts, which could be described as gaining a helper that matched one’s own power. A direct descendant could separate to form three bodies while the branch descendants could only form two.

Ming Wang had been forced to spend a lot of time dealing with an ant which had raised its strength to god realm by drawing strength from Asura Eyes, so he was naturally furious. Without preamble then, he used the forbidden technique to form another him to resolve the battle in the shortest time possible.

Chen Xiu could face off against one Ming Wang with the help of Asura Eyes, but he could only run from two half god powerhouses.

The next instant, two Ming Wangs opened their eyes and looked at the place where Chen Xiu had stood and saw that it was empty. After searching all over, they discovered that he was rushing to the place with the highest prestige in the city, the city lord’s mansion.
