From the mode of the assassin’s defensive maneuvers, and the fact that he appeared behind Bai Yan without being noticed, Bai Yan roughly guessed his identity.
Of course, Demon Dragon Hake also knew of the Shadow Demon tribe, but it seed he hadn’t previously battled with this Demon Lord of the ninety-second layer of the Abyss, so he didn’t recognize his identity. He had only heard so rumors about him.
"Co again!"
Bai Yan halted his plumting montum, using his feet to leverage the Void, shattering the Void beneath him!
This ti, he didn’t use space abilities to directly teleport beside the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon who was assassinating him but chose to start his second battle with the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon with a most violent and bloody charge!
"Boom!"
The high-speed Bai Yan pierced through the air, producing a deafening sonic boom, and in the next instant, he surpassed the speed of sound, crossing hundreds of ters in distance.
"Slash!"
With Bai Yan’s loud shout, the place he appeared was right behind the body of the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon.
The Demon Longsword fell with unmatched power, causing Demon Dragon Hake to nervously shrink his neck, fearing Bai Yan’s sword might miss the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon and instead chop his own head.
Of course, Bai Yan wasn’t that foolish; he had already prepared how to deal with the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon.
The Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon naturally sensed Bai Yan’s attack on him, but he rely turned his head, smiling contemptuously at Bai Yan, as if he didn’t care about Bai Yan’s attack at all.
The Shadow Demon tribe can be immune to most attacks, including physical and energy attacks. The stronger they are, the more types of attacks they can be immune to and the greater the strength of those attacks.
At the Quasi-Emperor level, they can almost be immune to all attacks in the world. Except at the mont of the offense, they are invincible in almost all instances.
And Bai Yan’s slash naturally didn’t have the desired effect; instead, due to exerting too much force, he exposed a flaw.
"You are too careless."
The Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon noticed Bai Yan’s flaw and couldn’t help but launch an attack on Bai Yan’s exposed back.
There are many ways to deliver a killing blow, and backstabbing is one of them.
The Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon felt Bai Yan’s Demon Longsword pass through his body, and at the instant it left, he chose to attack Bai Yan’s back.
A sharp dagger pierced the space at this mont, carrying slight spatial cracks, and stabbed Bai Yan’s back fiercely.
Moreover, it stabbed down harshly from the heart’s area. If it hit, no matter how strong Bai Yan was, he wouldn’t survive!
Besides disappearing into shadows, Shadow Demons have the ability to inject their energy into the enemies’ bodies, causing parts of the enemies’ bodies to "shadowize."
The "shadowized" parts lose functionality, almost as if they disappeared directly, and the internal organs of a human body are so fragile that even Bai Yan’s cannot be trained to the strength of skin, muscle, and bone.
So this is the kill move of the Shadow Demon tribe, used only when assassinating important enemies.
At this mont, the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon intended to use it on Bai Yan.
But he didn’t realize that Bai Yan, still struggling to twist his body, had a strange smile on his lips.
He hadn’t used space abilities earlier just for this mont, to make the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon think he was in a massive crisis, prompting an attack.
Only when he strikes, can Bai Yan defend and counterattack, delivering the most terrifying counterattack when he makes his move!
"You are too careless!"
Bai Yan didn’t speak, but the Divine Thought conveyed this ssage into the mind of the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon.
Instantly, Bai Yan vanished before the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon.
And it was precisely the instant the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon materialized his body to attack Bai Yan.
Bai Yan, using Space Power, reappeared behind the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon, and this ti, without hesitation, he plunged the longsword into the heart vein of the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon!
There are many ways to subdue a Shadow Demon, such as overwhelming them with a potent thought to shatter their spirit; or like Bai Yan, during their attack, driving a weapon into their heart vein, sealing their shadowizing ability.
The forr thod can only kill a Shadow Demon, but Bai Yan intended to subjugate him to his service.
So he took the risk of choosing the second thod, deceiving this seemingly cold and ruthless but actually very naïve Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon.
A Quasi-Emperor level Shadow Demon, even in Bai Yan’s past life, he had never encountered one. If he had such a unit, fully equipped with Shadow Demon’s abilities, Bai Yan could dispatch them for infiltration, assassination, and even intelligence missions.
Such a special forces unit would naturally be sothing Bai Yan coveted.
Even if this Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon had no kin and was alone, having him as a constant guard by his side would be excellent.
No problem with simplicity; Bai Yan could slowly teach him.
After all, through his journey, Bai Yan had not seen much of other things, but the darker side of the world, he had seen plenty, even partaken in it, becoming the ruler of the world’s shadows.
Teaching a simple Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon was more than manageable.
"You were too careless, so you have no choice but to submit to , or you will die."
Bai Yan smiled at the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon, and his smile frightened Demon Dragon Hake, who sowhat understood Bai Yan’s intentions, making him shiver.
"Oh."
The Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon responded nonchalantly, letting the Essence Blood in his body rapidly drain, as if he didn’t care at all.
Hearing his answer, Bai Yan suddenly had a headache. If he isn’t afraid of death, how should he threaten him?
"If you want to live, you must submit to , or else I will let you experience all the world’s pain!"
"The agony of life and death, the pain of love and resentnt! These pains will be amplified a hundredfold and inflicted upon you!"
Bai Yan’s cold eyes raised a surge of murderous intent, icy and chilling, yet it still failed to significantly shock the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon.
He replied again, "Oh."
Twice frustrated, Bai Yan gradually beca irritable inside. Are you disdainful of my recruitnt? As a Demon Lord of the Abyss’s first ninety-one layers, is my recruitnt making you lose face?
Such emotions gradually arose in Bai Yan’s mind, and the killing intent began to boil uncontrollably; he started to consider giving up on this Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon.
However, at that mont, Demon Dragon Hake sent a ssage, "Master, it’s said this Demon Lord has so brain issues; you just need to take out the loyalty contract and tell him what to do."
Demon Dragon Hake’s suggestion left Bai Yan stunned for a mont. Although skeptical, he nonetheless produced a loyalty contract and got the Quasi-Emperor Shadow Demon to sign his True Na.
And then it succeeded...
So, is there no normal Demon Lord on the entire ninety-second layer of the Abyss?! It’s all a bunch of oddballs?!
