#928 - Shadow Curse
With a nod from the Shadow Clan's President, a rift suddenly opened, as if a gateway to another world.
This Shadow Sage flickered and flew out from the rift, landing steadily on the ground.
Unlike other Shadow Clan members, this Shadow Sage was more intelligent, and his body was closer to a human form.
He could freely transform between shadow and human, a very special existence and an outstanding figure among the Shadow Clan's Sages.
The Shadow Sage was in no hurry to attack. He stood a hundred zhang away from Li Chengfeng, a faint smile on his face.
As if everything was under his control. "Li Chengfeng, you are very clever."
He spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic, "One of the most intelligent humans I have ever seen.
In other galaxies and worlds, our Shadow Clan has devoured countless lives, and some lower interfaces have been completely consumed by us.
We have encountered many powerful enemies, but few are as fond of using tactics and tricks as you."
He paused slightly and continued, "Those so-called heroes, knowing they are no match, still come to their deaths, seemingly heroic, but actually extremely foolish.
They do not know how to assess the situation, nor do they know how to exchange the smallest price for the greatest benefit.
But you are different. You always like to hide behind the scenes and use wisdom to defeat your opponents.
This is very much in line with our Shadow Clan's combat philosophy—winning with wisdom and gaining with strategy."
Li Chengfeng, facing the Shadow Clan Sage's endless chatter, curled his lips into a sneer.
His voice was as cold as the winter wind, piercing through the surrounding clamor: "I don't want to hear you nagging here.
Fight if you want to fight! Your nonsense is just a waste of my time."
His eyes flashed with determination and disdain, obviously not caring about the Sage's verbal provocation.
The reason Li Chengfeng meticulously set up the situation, luring these powerhouses out alone, was to defeat them one by one, first eliminating the strongest force among them.
There were many powerhouses trapped by the formation, including hundreds of Half-Step Divine Transformation cultivators.
If a surprise attack were launched while they were trapped, even if it succeeded, it would inevitably come at a heavy price.
At this moment, he had to firmly grasp the initiative in his own hands.
However, the Shadow Clan's Sage did not seem to be in a hurry to make a move.
A playful smile hung on the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under his control.
"Li Chengfeng, you are clever for a moment, but confused for a lifetime." He spoke slowly, a hint of mockery in his voice, "Although you can calculate any unexpected event, you will never be able to guess the heart of a race.
Every race has its unique beliefs and obsessions, which you cannot understand.
I'm here this time to give you a thorough lesson."
As the Sage's words fell, he suddenly formed a hand seal and chanted a spell.
Behind him, shadows quietly emerged, actually numbering as many as ten.
The strength of these shadows was exactly the same as his main body, as if they were his clones.
He sneered, his voice filled with endless confidence and arrogance: "This is our Shadow Clan's famous stunt—Shadow External Avatar.
Although my Shadow External Avatar can only last for one hour, it is enough to crush you."
Before he finished speaking, these shadow clones turned into streams of light, like ghosts in the dark night, and pounced on Li Chengfeng.
Each of them held countless shadow blades, these shadow blades flashed with cold light, drawing strange arcs in the night sky.
They were erratic, like wisps of smoke, their movements secretive, making it difficult to grasp the trajectory of their attacks.
The air was filled with a strong sense of killing intent and crisis, as if a life-and-death battle was about to be staged.
Seeing the Shadow Clan Sage launch an attack, Li Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and curled his lips into a cold smile.
He said, "Well done!"
He flickered, transforming into nine figures like a ghost, each exuding a powerful aura comparable to Li Chengfeng's main body.
These nine blood shadow clones broke through the air and collided with the shadow clones, like nine bright stars piercing the night sky.
The blood shadow clones held long swords, the sword light like a web, cutting out dazzling sword flowers.
Each clone seemed to possess independent consciousness, flexibly controlling two long swords, "swooshing" through the air, the air cut by the sword tips emitting a sharp whistle.
Under Li Chengfeng's control, the two swords, like living dancers, fought on their own, re-condensing into pieces of blood shadow, trapping the Sage firmly.
Under this airtight attack, the Shadow Clan Sage suddenly fell into a difficult situation.
His face changed drastically, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
After all, he was also a powerful figure, and he quickly adjusted his mentality, trying to find a breakthrough.
At the same time, Li Chengfeng's main body floated quietly in the air, his eyes flowing with strange yin and yang light, as if he could see through everything in the world.
This light only flashed for a moment, but it was enough to make the Shadow Clan Sage lose his mind for an instant.
His power seemed to be frozen, his movements becoming slow and heavy.
Although this was only a momentary lapse, it was enough to be fatal for a powerhouse like Li Chengfeng.
At the moment when the Shadow Clan Sage lost his mind, Li Chengfeng burst out, as swift as a tiger descending the mountain.
He punched out, the fist wind was extremely fierce, with a whistling sound, directly hitting the Sage's defense.
There was a loud "bang," and the Sage's defense was easily torn apart like paper.
Then, countless sword qi and the power of wind and cloud poured into his body like a tide, causing his body to tremble violently.
"Bang!" With another loud noise, the Shadow Clan Sage exploded like a balloon, flesh and blood flying, staining the surrounding space red.
And those shadow clones also seemed to have lost their backbone, and they all shattered into pieces of black smoke, dissipating into the air.
Because his main body was dead, these clones naturally lost their meaning of existence.
This battle seemed easy and simple, but it was actually extremely dangerous.
Only a powerhouse like Li Chengfeng could easily resolve this crisis with the nine blood shadow clones and a deep cultivation base.
If it were someone else, they would have already died without a burial place under the siege of these many shadow clones.
Just as Li Chengfeng killed the Shadow Clan Sage, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Li Chengfeng only felt an unspeakable strange power quietly infiltrating his body, it was invisible and intangible, but it was like a shadow following him.
He curled his lips into a sneer, the smile containing both mockery of the unknown and absolute confidence in his own power. "What is this? Hahaha, nothing more than that."
His laughter echoed in the empty world, with some unruliness and arrogance.
Within the barrier.
The Shadow Clan President's voice roared like thunder, with undisguised pride and ferocity.
"Li Chengfeng, you have fallen for our trap! Did you think we really just wanted to compete with you in this world? Too naive!
Being able to kill you here would naturally be a great achievement; even if we can't, you will forever bear the Shadow Clan's Shadow Great Curse.
This curse will become a nightmare you cannot escape, making you the coordinate for our Shadow Clan to walk in the world.
No matter where you flee, no matter the ends of the earth, our Shadow Clan's powerhouses can use you as a guide, track you down, and kill you invisibly.
At that time, countless powerhouses will flock to you, and you will surely die!"
