Chapter 715: Chapter 306: Capturing
Though the two were chatting leisurely, they remained alert to their surroundings. When the sound suddenly pierced their ears, they immediately knew something was amiss.
Hu Sandao was the first to grab his Bai Zhan Blade and fly out of the room.
A quick glance revealed that all the people had collapsed to the ground, apparently lifeless.
Looking around, he saw no sign of the murderer.
Behind him, the rumbling sound of footsteps approached. Knowing it was Zhen Xiaoxiao, Hu Sandao didn’t pay it any mind and proceeded towards the middle-aged carpenter closest to him.
Unbeknownst to them, the moment they stepped out of the room, a dark shadow had already slipped in front of Ding Wugong’s bed on the ground.
It rose from the ground, swelling up.
In an instant, the black shadow took on a human shape, its features hollow, revealing a human skin.
After the human skin emerged, it lunged ferociously at Ding Wugong.
At this moment, Ding Wugong was already tormented by the potion of separation, barely clinging to life. Seeing the dark figure pounce, he felt not fear but relief.
But in the next instant, his expression changed.
A voice sounded:
“What is this thing?”
The voice came from Zhen Xiaoxiao, who reached out her hand and caught the black shadow in her palm.
Once she touched the shadow, it slithered up her wrist like a snake, heading for her neck.
Zhen Xiaoxiao grabbed at it twice but failed to stop it until she managed to firmly grasp it around her neck.
With a forceful tug, she yanked it down.
Gripping both ends of the shadow with her hands, she pulled apart with all her might!
The human skin, impervious to blade and fire, tore apart with the sound of ripping silk, and was shredded to pieces.
Having torn the shadow to shreds, Zhen Xiaoxiao didn’t linger. Instead, she picked up the One-legged Copper Man that was beside the bed.
It wasn’t that she had sensed the attacker’s target was Ding Wugong and came back to rescue him.
Rather, in her haste to rush out, she had forgotten to take the One-legged Copper Man.
Noticing someone trying to murder with just a shadow while fetching her weapon?
She took action to intervene.
Now armed, she hadn’t even turned around before she heard Hu Sandao grunt.
Swiftly turning back, she saw that the carpenter, who had been lying beneath Hu Sandao’s feet and should have been a corpse, suddenly sprang up, striking Hu Sandao twice with his palms.
Hu Sandao was forced to retreat but did not fall. Instead, he shouted angrily:
“Fat sheep courting death!!”
It wasn’t that Hu Sandao’s Inner Strength was so profound that the other’s two strikes did nothing to him.
The key was that his Bai Zhan Blade was held in front of him for protection, and despite the surprise attack by the seemingly dead, Hu Sandao’s response was quick, both strikes landing on the blade.
While the force transferred through did have some effect, the idea that it could kill Hu Sandao was wishful thinking.
At that moment, Hu Sandao steadied his stance and his Bai Zhan Blade suddenly flourished.
He saw countless shadows suddenly floating towards him.
“Huh? Shadow Magic of Eternal Night Valley?”
He had seen this before.
Back in Liuyin City, he had fought hand-in-hand with Fu Han Yuan against Wei Ziyi and the Evil People from Eternal Night Valley.
There were four or five shadows, each displaying fearsome martial skills.
How could he be their match?
In a panic, he spun his blade, and a ripping sound followed.
The first shadow rushing toward him was cleaved in two by the blade in his hand.
The front half instantly lost all vitality and collapsed, while the remaining half still struggled but was greatly weakened.
The shadows, previously eager to pounce, now hesitated, showing their teeth and claws, searching for an opportunity.
Seeing the incredible edge of the treasure sword in his hand, Hu Sandao was filled with a surge of boldness!
“Good fat sheep, behold my treasure sword!”
As his words fell, he should have charged forward, but instead, Hu Sandao swung his blade, forming a watertight defense.
He even shouted, “Xiao Xiao, save me!!”
He was self-aware.
Otherwise, he would have directly stormed into Wusheng Hall seeking the Endless Prison long ago.
Why would he avoid Wusheng Hall from afar?
Though with the advantage of the treasure sword, these shadows couldn’t trouble him, to think of completely eradicating them was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Better to focus on self-protection and seek help than to be busy in vain and let the enemy find a flaw and kill him.
And indeed, Zhen Xiaoxiao had dashed out from the room, standing by the door and shouting angrily:
“Who are you?”
The middle-aged carpenter’s complexion also turned ashen.
His plan today was hastily made but well thought out.
He aimed to draw out the people from the room with the life and death of the carpenters, then secretly assassinate Ding Wugong with a shadow.
If the plan succeeded, he could make an escape.
He pretended to be dead to mislead the two in the room.
If they came to check the bodies, he would suddenly attack, hoping to take down one of them.
But he had not anticipated a failed shadow attack, and Hu Sandao unexpectedly turning around was baffling.
The body check didn’t kill either…
That man clutched his single blade as if it were made of gold, even placing it in front of him when he crouched down. Was he worried someone would steal it or what?
At this point, killing someone was utterly impossible.
Causing a bigger scene would only lead to chaos, detrimental to his plans.
With a tip of his toe, he prepared to leap away.
