Chapter 2390 - 2363: Slaying the Black Shadow

As the spear pierced into Black Shadow’s chest, his heart instantly clenched, and a breath of death shrouded his entire body.

This discovery made his body tense abruptly, and reflexively he turned urgently.

"Swish!"

The spear’s shadow was already close at hand, directly carrying a thick Fenghuo aura, whistling towards him.

Upon seeing the whistling spear shadow, Black Shadow’s face changed drastically. Without any hesitation, he immediately channeled True Qi throughout his body, while his five fingers opened to grab the spear in mid-air.

But it was too late. The spear, with unstoppable momentum, directly pierced through Black Shadow’s True Qi, stabbing into his chest.

"Puch!"

Blood instantly gushed forth.

Feeling the stabbing pain from his chest, Black Shadow’s eyes were fixed on Bai Zhiqing, who was holding the spear with a cold expression, a grimace on his face, "You... you are not Bai Zhiqing, who are you really."

Black Shadow widened his eyes, full of disbelief, staring at Bai Zhiqing, who was within reach. His pupils were filled with undisguisable terror. He never imagined that Bai Zhiqing, whom he saw as weak and fragile, would turn into a fierce tiger in an instant and deliver a deadly blow.

"Who are you really? You are definitely not Bai Zhiqing!"

Black Shadow stared fixatedly at Bai Zhiqing in front of him, his face twisted with grim and ruthless expression, yet helpless. The previous spear had pierced his chest, not giving him any chance to catch his breath. Now, the only reason he was still alive was due to the formidable vitality of the Late Stage of Mythical.

Meanwhile, Snake Lady in that instant leaped forward, standing among the snake swarm, looking solemnly at Bai Zhiqing standing there. The snake staff in her hand emitted a series of extraordinarily sharp and weird hissing sounds.

The snakes, upon hearing those piercing cries, immediately raised their heads high, as if preparing for an attack.

"I never said I was Bai Zhiqing; it was your own belief that I was Bai Zhiqing." Paying no heed to the surrounding snakes, ’Bai Zhiqing’ spoke indifferently while staring at Black Shadow. However, Bai Zhiqing’s voice abruptly transformed from its somewhat alluring tone to a rough male voice.

Along with the voice, Bai Zhiqing’s bones began to wriggle all at once, and soon that charming face turned into a very unfamiliar middle-aged man’s face.

"It’s you, Cangwu."

Upon seeing this face, Black Shadow’s expression changed drastically, looking as if he’d seen a ghost, his face revealing uncontrollable fear.

This suddenly appearing middle-aged man was none other than Cangwu, Jiang Liufeng’s personal disciple.

"No... impossible. Aren’t you on Qin Island? How did you appear here? No, this is impossible; this can’t be. I don’t believe it."

Black Shadow let out a roaring sound, like a beast at the end of its rope. According to intelligence, Cangwu had been on Qin Island and had never left. Just tonight before their planned action, they had verified that Cangwu was indeed on Qin Island. Now the middle-aged man in front of them was Cangwu, who then was the Cangwu on Qin Island?

"Nothing is impossible. Haven’t you heard of what is called ’ghostly mastery’? Masking one person to resemble me to deceive the world is all too easy."

Cangwu smiled coldly. In fact, ever since Lu Tianxing returned from Xiangjiang, he secretly arrived in Beijing from Qin Island, while on Qin Island was merely a Divine Gun Guards member disguised as him.

After all, the stakes this time were too high. Many wanted to kill Lu Tianxing or obtain Lu Tianxing’s cultivation techniques. Perhaps they dared not act against Lu Tianxing, but Lu Tianxing did have an obvious weakness — Bai Zhiqing and those women. Bai Zhiqing was the ideal target, as she was an ordinary person, and dealing with her could be said to be quite easy.

Must be guarded against!!!

"You..."

After hearing Cangwu’s words, Black Shadow raised his hand and pointed at Cangwu, his lips trembling, seemingly wanting to say something, yet unable to speak a word, as a mouthful of blood uncontrollably spurted from his mouth.

"Hoo hoo..."

Cangwu glanced at Black Shadow, directly pulling out the spear, and instantly, thick Fenghuo aura exploded from his body, transforming Black Shadow into a fireball in a second. He fell to the ground, dead beyond doubt.

Black Shadow was an old veteran of the Late Stage of Mythical. It would almost be impossible for Cangwu to quickly finish him off if they had faced each other directly. But the mishap lay in Black Shadow’s sheer carelessness, utterly disregarding Bai Zhiqing, allowing Cangwu masquerading as Bai Zhiqing to walk at the back, which was akin to placing his fate in King Yanluo’s hands — akin to courting death.

"Next it’s your turn."

Watching Black Shadow fall to the ground, Cangwu’s gaze fell on Snake Lady, his eyes flashing with penetrating sharpness. Without any hesitation, he lunged forward.

"Chirp..."

Seeing Cangwu rushing towards her, Snake Lady’s shriveled face flashed with ferocity. She suddenly opened her mouth, emitting strange and endless piercing cries.

"Ssss..."

The moment these piercing cries sounded, the snakes on the ground seemed to be stimulated, suddenly bouncing from the ground like locusts, densely packed, whistling towards Cangwu.

"Humph, insignificant, Fenghuo Blaze."

Cangwu snorted coldly, and with a move of the spear in his hand, the Fenghuo Spear Technique was instantly deployed. Gun shadows, as vast as tides, filled the air, and fiery Fenghuo aura appeared out of nowhere, roaring out with a power to annihilate everything. Those snakes didn’t even have time to approach Cangwu, getting directly scorched by the hot Fenghuo aura, with a strong scent of roasted meat permeating the air.

"Kill!"

Upon seeing Cangwu’s offensive, Snake Lady suddenly let out a sharp cry. As she spoke, the snakehead on her staff abruptly opened its mouth wide, spraying a thick green fog, directly enveloping Cangwu. Meanwhile, Snake Lady herself instantly retreated backwards rapidly, unwilling to have any confrontation with Cangwu, intending to escape directly.
