Chapter 5052 Ye Shenfei Arrives
If the Demon Ancestor is unable to intervene, then the Taihuang Heavenly Court, while still at a disadvantage against the Demon Kingdom, is not without the power to fight back.
"Moreover..." Immortal Venerable Langhuan paused, then turned to look at Su Bai, a smile appearing in her eyes, "This time, we also tested your potential. Junior brother, you are even more outstanding than we imagined. Perhaps, you really have the potential to become the one who breaks the deadlock."
Su Bai was taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "Senior Sister thinks too highly of me. I am just a junior who has just entered the Divine Realm, and I am still far from that level."
"No, you don't understand." Immortal Venerable Langhuan shook her head, her tone becoming unusually serious. "Your path is different from others. The Path of Limitlessness encompasses all things and evolves from chaos... This is a realm that only the 'Supreme One' who once suppressed an era has ever ventured into. You have this potential."
Su Bai was shocked.
The Supreme Being? That is one of the most mysterious and powerful beings in the history of the Great Wilderness. It is said that he once single-handedly mended the heavens and turned the tide, pulling the Great Wilderness universe back from the brink of collapse.
He never expected that his senior sister would have such a high opinion of him.
Just as the two were talking, a communication jade slip in Su Bai's arms suddenly vibrated.
That was the jade slip that Consort Ye left for him, representing his destiny!
Su Bai's expression changed, and he quickly took out the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.
From within the jade slip came Ye Shenfei's slightly weak but still calm voice:
"Su Bai, I've shaken off that old guy's entanglement and am on my way back. You all retreat to the Heavenly Court as soon as possible; don't wait for me. Also... be careful of 'Shadow'."
There was only one short sentence, and then the light on the jade slip dimmed.
"Master is alright!" Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief, finally putting his mind at ease.
But then he frowned again: "Beware of 'Shadow'? What does that mean?"
He looked at the Immortal Venerable Langhuan and relayed Consort Ye's words.
Upon hearing this, Immortal Venerable Langhuan's expression changed drastically, a hint of shock appearing in her eyes: "Shadow?! Master actually mentioned Shadow?!"
"Senior sister, who exactly is this Shadow?" Su Bai asked.
Immortal Venerable Langhuan took a deep breath and lowered her voice, saying, "Shadow is not a person, but an organization, the most mysterious and terrifying assassin organization lurking in the Great Wilderness Universe. It is said that they even dare to take on assassination missions against Immortal Realm experts! And they have never failed!"
"What?!" Su Bai exclaimed in shock.
Assassinating an Immortal Realm expert?! That's insane! Immortal Realm experts are said to be immortal and indestructible, living as long as heaven and earth. How could they possibly be assassinated?
“It’s not impossible,” said Immortal Venerable Langhuan in a deep voice. “The Shadows possess an extremely strange ‘Shadow Killing Technique,’ which can ignore any defense and laws and directly attack the core of the target’s origin. Moreover, they are extremely good at disguise and infiltration. Perhaps we are already being targeted right now.”
Su Bai felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively looked around warily.
“Since Master specifically reminded us, it means that Shadow may have already intervened in this war, and may even be hired by the Demon Kingdom, with your target being... you!” Immortal Venerable Langhuan pointed at Su Bai.
Su Bai understood. His performance in this battle had been too stunning; if the Demon Kingdom wanted to eliminate him, hiring Shadow was indeed an excellent choice.
"It seems the journey home won't be peaceful," Su Bai muttered to himself, a cold glint in his eyes.
Just then, Duanmu Lei, who was on guard in the distance, suddenly let out a long warning whistle.
"Enemy attack!!!"
Su Bai and Immortal Venerable Langhuan exchanged a glance, then instantly sprang up, transforming into two streaks of light as they rushed toward the mouth of the canyon.
Outside the canyon, a strange black mist had appeared in the starry sky. It spread silently, dimming the starlight and silencing everything in its path.
Within that black mist, countless blurry shadows could be vaguely seen moving about, like ghosts from the underworld.
"It's Shadow!" Immortal Venerable Langhuan's expression turned extremely solemn. "They arrived so quickly!"
Feng Yunwei and the others quickly assembled, their faces solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Form ranks! Defend!" Feng Yunwei shouted.
The surviving celestial deities quickly formed a battle formation, their divine light soaring into the sky, transforming into a solid defensive barrier that enveloped the entire canyon.
However, the black mist seemed to ignore these defenses and continued to approach at its own unhurried pace.
The black mist churned, and a sinister voice emanated from it, elusive and impossible to pinpoint its location:
"You little brats of the Taihuang Heavenly Court... hand over that person named Su Bai, and I might leave you with a whole corpse."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai stepped forward and stood at the very front of the battle formation. Dressed in pristine white, he was still wounded, but his fierce aura remained undiminished.
"Want to take my life? Then let's see if you have the ability!" Su Bai shouted coldly, drawing his sword, the Immortal Slayer, once again, its tip pointing directly at the strange black mist.
"Hehehe... What an arrogant brat."
A chilling laugh echoed from within the black mist, "As expected of someone who managed to escape from the Green Lantern King. Too bad, you've run into our Shadow. Your good luck has run out."
Before the words were finished, the black mist suddenly boiled, and countless black blades burst out from it, pouring down like a torrential rain. Each blade contained a heart-palpitating corrosive law, bombarding the defensive array and emitting a sizzling corrosive sound.
"Block!"
Feng Yun did not roar, but instead activated the great formation with all his might.
"Junior brother, be careful of their shadow killing technique!" Immortal Venerable Langhuan warned, wielding her spear to deflect several black blades that pierced through the gaps in the formation.
Su Bai's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the black mist. His intuition told him that these black blades were merely a feint; the real killing blow was yet to come.
Just then, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the shadows behind him without warning!
The shadowy figure moved with incredible speed and without any fluctuation of its aura. Su Bai only realized it when the black dagger in its hand was about to pierce Su Bai's back!
"roll!"
Su Bai reacted extremely quickly, slashing out with his sword in a backhand motion.
when!
The dagger clashed with the Immortal Execution Sword, sending sparks flying. The dark figure was forced back several steps, then merged back into Su Bai's shadow and disappeared.
"This is the Shadow Assassination Technique?!" Su Bai's heart skipped a beat. This kind of technique, which allows one to hide in the shadows, is simply impossible to defend against!
"Everyone, watch out for your shadows!" Su Bai warned.
However, it was already too late.
Screams rang out from the crowd.
Suddenly, several celestial deities clutched their necks and collapsed, blood gushing from between their fingers. In the instant they fell, dark figures darted out from their shadows and then quickly disappeared into the shadows of others.
Panic spread instantly among the crowd.
This invisible enemy is the most terrifying!
"Damn it!" Feng Yunwei's eyes were bloodshot, but he had no way to use his strength.
"We must force them out!" A ruthless glint flashed in Su Bai's eyes.
He stomped his foot, and the Wuji Dao Diagram unfolded once more. This time, he did not use it for defense or attack, but instead fully activated the Law of Light within it!
"Light shines everywhere, all things return to one!"
With a roar, Su Bai caused the Boundless Dao Diagram to instantly transform into an incomparably dazzling sun, hanging above the canyon.
The terrifying power of light poured down, illuminating the entire canyon in perfect detail, leaving not a single shadow!
"what--!!!"
As the shadows vanished, the shadow assassins lurking within were instantly exposed. Scorched by the divine power of light, they let out piercing screams, the black mist around them melting away like snow meeting the blazing sun.
"Now! Kill!"
Su Bai seized the opportunity, and the Zhuxian Sword transformed into a streak of light, instantly killing several shadow assassins who had exposed themselves.
Immortal Venerable Langhuan, Feng Yunwei, and others also made their moves, unleashing various supernatural powers and magical treasures upon the panicked assassins.
The shadows, which had originally held the advantage, instantly became lambs to the slaughter after losing the shadowy environment they relied on for survival.
Upon seeing this, the leader within the black mist roared in fury: "Damn the Law of Light! Retreat!"
The remaining Shadow Assassins dared not linger and turned into black smoke, trying to escape back into the black mist.
"Want to run? It's not that easy!"
Su Bai snorted coldly, summoned the Void Cauldron once more, activated the spatial laws, and directly sealed off the space surrounding the black mist.
"Stay!"
He activated the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation with all his might, unleashing countless sword energies that completely enveloped the black mist.
"Humph! Go away!"
Within the black mist, the leader, shrouded in darkness, suddenly unleashed astonishing dark energy, as if to completely obliterate the void. In an instant, all light vanished, leaving only his pitch-black figure.
Stab it!
The Zhuxian Sword Formation unleashed billions of sword lights, stirring up the dark void, but before it could even touch the opponent's body, it turned into nothingness. This was the power of darkness and void laws cultivated by this person, indicating that this person's strength was not weak!
Su Bai's eyes narrowed slightly.
Even so, under the full power of Su Bai's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the two black figures who had not yet escaped were directly annihilated by the sword energy. Even their primordial spirits and true souls were completely annihilated before they could escape!
Under Su Bai's control of the Law of Light, the assassins were exposed and posed no threat to him whatsoever.
However, they were skilled at escaping, and even Su Bai could not completely wipe them out, not to mention that his injuries had not yet fully recovered.
"Alright, don't pursue a cornered enemy!"
Watching the assassins, including the Shadow, vanish into nothingness and disappear into the distance, Immortal Venerable Langhuan's face darkened. If these assassins hadn't been restrained by Su Bai, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
They suffered a great loss this time, and they probably won't act easily in the future.
Fortunately, Su Bai acted in time, and the Heavenly Court did not suffer too much loss. After settling everyone in, Su Bai and Immortal Venerable Langhuan went to a secluded place, isolated from the outside world by the formation, to wait for Consort Ye's arrival.
The Immortal Lady Langhuan took out a jade pendant, which was clearly a special magical artifact that allowed her and Consort Ye to communicate with each other.
The Immortal Venerable Langhuan was also taking the opportunity to recover her energy, as she had suffered considerable losses in the previous series of divine battles.
A moment later, a majestic phoenix flew into the starry sky, and a ball of divine power enveloped Su Bai and Immortal Venerable Langhuan, landing on the back of the divine phoenix.
Ye Shenfei stood atop the Divine Phoenix, one hand behind her back, her posture elegant and graceful.
"Master!" Su Bai and Immortal Venerable Langhuan both hurriedly bowed.
Seeing that Consort Ye had returned safely, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
