Chapter 477: Chapter 336 Mortician_2
‘This is the ability of a “Sequence Six – Shadowless”… Erasing one’s own shadow to achieve true concealnt.’
Whoosh!
Just at that mont.
Chen Lun’s outstretched hand directed towards the silver sword’s long shadow suddenly birthed a large clump of “pitch-black mud”, which clung onto his sword-wielding palm, stubbornly grabbing hold of his right arm and rendering him immobile.
Above the “mud”, Roxanne’s pitch-black upper body slowly erged with a vicious smile. Behind her, three pairs of shadowy arms grew out, each transforming into weapons like knives, spears, swords, and clubs, attacking Chen Lun’s head like a storm.
But Roxanne’s attack missed the mark.
Her expression subtly changed.
The gentleman in the black hat disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a severed arm caught by the “shadow coffin mud” she released… But strangely, the severed arm didn’t bleed even a drop of blood and began to twist on its own, gradually turning into a pale white python.
A strong sense of imminent danger descended.
Roxanne made a snap decision, tossing the white python from the mud and fleeing as fast as she could.
But it was already too late.
Boom!!
The white python swelled and exploded, showering the shadows with countless droplets of the Blood of Decay, tarnishing them with unstable white hues.
“Ah!”
Roxanne cried out in pain as her entire body lted into a puddle of liquid shadows and fell to the ground.
As if centered around her, the ground turned into a spring, continuously burbling out “shadow mud”, gradually covering all the ground within a hundred ters.
The other Black Knife Assassins and mbers of the Circus, who were still engaged in battle, tacitly withdrew from the area to avoid being affected.
Roxanne’s voice, heavy with suppressed Wrath, emanated from all directions:
“Qiaoke, you slippery fellow…”
In midair.
Chen Lun stood on nothing, looking down at this area of shadows, internally marvelling.
‘Is this the power of a “Mortician”? If I can’t shatter these mud-like shadows, I won’t be able to harm her true form… Even the earlier self-destructing limb only destroyed a small portion of the shadow, which she imdiately replenished.’
He pondered.
‘Roxanne has rich combat experience and is acutely aware of her own weaknesses. Once her shadow is shattered, she imdiately conceals herself, making it impossible to find her true body… She only re-erges to fight once her shadow is replenished, handling everything flawlessly.’
Compared to that bat-winged Bishop of the Red Apple Church, Roxanne might not be as strong in head-on combat, but her adaptability and versatility are superior.
If the two were to clash, Chen Lun felt Roxanne might have a slightly greater chance of victory.
No wonder she was so confident.
‘I seem to have figured out her combat pattern…’
Chen Lun gradually lost interest.
‘Let’s end this.’
Boom!!
The “Shadow Lake” on the ground beneath him suddenly boiled, and a huge surge of shadowy mud erupted, transforming into a giant cleaver over ten ters in length in midair, slashing straight down towards him!
At the sa ti, countless ribbon-like shadows wove into a vast net, surrounding and closing in from all sides to intercept Chen Lun, preventing him from fleeing.
Chen Lun raised an eyebrow, looking sowhat surprised.
Her display of such a wide-range shadow manipulation ability was precisely at the limit of the distance he could cover with instantaneous movent, preventing him from escaping… Whether it was because she had discerned his capabilities or it was re coincidence, it certainly posed a difficulty for him.
Without entering the “Pale Stance”, taking a hit from that pitch-black cleaver would split him in two… Although not fatal, healing would also require ti.
In such intense combat, every second could determine the outco, and Chen Lun would not allow himself to fall into such an awkward situation.
‘Earlier, I revealed the ability to separate my body; Roxanne must be prepared by now. Spiritual Intuition tells that once I prematurely split to dodge the cleaver, the shadowy mud will imdiately capture my body.’
This thought crossed Chen Lun’s mind.
He imdiately directed his right arm towards the giant cleaver coming towards him and used the Pale Hand.
The white snake horde twisted into a gigantic whip, lashing fiercely from right to left.
Clang!!
Amidst the clinking and clanging, the cleaver cut through several of the White Pythons, but at the sa ti, it was diverted several ters away by the “Pale Whip,” brushing past Chen Lun.
Chen Lun’s expression remained calm as he once again raised his Pale Hand, aiming it towards the “Shadow Lake” below.
The severed White Pythons regenerated, returning to their original state, as dozens of snakes opened their mouths in unison, spewing out purple-red Deathburn Fire! A huge and resplendent pillar of fire descended from the sky, striking the ground with force and raising sky-high flas.
The fire obstructed the approach of the pitch-black net while indifferently burning everything below.
“Ahhh!!!”
Under the intense and scorching heat, the shadowy mud writhed and convulsed like a living thing, causing the entire area to tremble with an imposing montum. Roxanne’s screams echoed all around, as if she were suffering imnse agony.
But Chen Lun knew that such an assault still hadn’t hard the enemy.
Taking advantage of this mont, he pulled out a deck of cards and casually tossed them up, performing a Divination to locate Roxanne’s true body.
Dozens of cards fluttered and fell, yet only one remained, suspended in mid-air—
The Nine of Spades!
“Found you.”
Chen Lun grinned and raised his Pale Hand high, crashing it down towards the nine o’clock direction as if it were a teorite.
The dozens of White Pythons intertwined into a huge “sphere,” resembling a Siege Hamr, and smashed heavily onto the shadow-covered ground!
Boom!!
A three-ter-tall pitch-black Giant erged from the ground at the last mont, its four pairs of arms holding firm against Chen Lun’s mighty hamr.
Roxanne was covered in pitch-black mud from head to toe, her eyes bloodshot, as she coughed up blood and struggled to withstand the fatal blow.
“How can this be…”
Her voice was hoarse, filled with disbelief and resentnt.
“My true body can’t possibly be found by you!”
“You knew full well that I am a Path of Destiny Transcendent, yet you still acted as if you had the winning hand. Were you thinking that your Sequence was higher than mine, therefore my Divination would be ineffective against you?”
Chen Lun looked down at her coldly.
“Sorry, my Divination power is higher than you imagined.”
As the stalemate continued,
Within the giant sphere made of snakes, one White Python broke away from the “organization” and surged forward, abruptly biting towards Roxanne’s throat.
Her pupils contracted sharply.
From her chest, the shadowy mud spontaneously rose, transforming into another pitch-black arm, which clenched tightly around the White Python and thwarted its attack.
“Qiaoke, you can’t kill , so how about we both step back and deal with the ‘Red Rose Squad’ first?”
Roxanne said with a trace of bloodied smile.
“I apologize for being disrespectful to you… After all, I never actually made a move against you, did I?”
“You seem to have misunderstood sothing, Roxanne.”
Chen Lun looked at her impassively.
“The forces we each represent are diatrically opposed; even if you didn’t make a move, I would still find an opportunity to kill you… All because you and I ended up in the sa Red Calamity Area.”
Roxanne could no longer suppress her rage.
But at that mont, the White Python, held by the pitch-black hand that had grown out of her chest, suddenly opened its mouth and, unexpectedly, spat out a Silver Sword, stabbing straight into her forehead before she could react.
Ding!
The Silver Sword was blocked for an instant by the “Shadow Armor” but imdiately penetrated her brain!
Roxanne’s expression froze.
