Shadow Hack

Chapter 513: Cheating Death Repeatedly

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was the first time Li Yunmu profoundly sensed helplessness. He had never felt so powerless, especially after congealing Azure Dragon Expert Armor.

When confronted with a genuine deity level evil spirit, Li Yunmu finally understood the disparity between them. Even if he still had ten shadows which could substitute for him in death, he didn’t have the least bit of confidence in being able to flee from the Black Spirit World.

Even though the entrance had been in front of his eyes moments ago, he hadn’t been confident in being able to escape successfully. It was even worse now, when the terrifying and nefarious spirit had focused all of its attention on him.

He swept his gaze around, and his vision fell on the passage between the two worlds which had been destroyed by him. With ruthlessness, he rushed toward that passage to Earth which hadn’t been thoroughly destroyed.

But Li Yunmu hadn’t forgotten about one matter. It was that there was still a person in the Black Spirit World who hadn’t been affected by the blood monster.

It was the person who hadn’t possessed the qualifications to add his flux energy because his strength was too low. From the group of people of Black Spirit Valley, Zhan Wuya was the only one who hadn’t supplied any flux energy to establish the passage.

Because of that, he wasn’t the least bit affected by the backlash of the sacrificial offering. It was extremely fortunate, for it allowed him to survive thus far.

When Zhan Wuya felt that the sacrificial offering was ruined and saw the entire upper echelon of the Black Spirit World suffer a backlash while the furious evil spirit descended, he was extremely terrified.

Given his strength, he was at the lowest level of the food chain. It was only his extreme luck that had allowed him to survive for this long.

He shot behind a tree in the forest and blocked his presence completely, pretending to be dead.

But all his actions weren’t concealed from Li Yunmu who was paying attention on him. He looked at Zhan Wuya with unwillingness, then leaped into the passage to Earth which hadn’t been established completely.

Zhan Wuya naturally saw that final unwilling gaze from Li Yunmu. He immediately recognized this person who had broken into the Black Spirit World and destroyed all their plans in one stroke, and who was now fleeing from the hunt of the terrifying spirit—Li Yunmu.

Impossible! he cried out in his heart.

His strength wasn’t sufficient to advance his cultivation and step into the great flux expert realm, but Li Yunmu who had descended two years ago with him had actually become so formidable?

Was that even possible? How could he, Zhan Wuya, have fallen so far behind?

His heart filled with hatred and envy as well as unprecedented resentment. But at the same time, he also felt fortunate that this person, whom he hadn’t even put in his eyes before, had followed his road into death. While he watched, Li Yunmu leaped into the channel between the two worlds due to being hunted by the terrifying spirit.

Yet he, Zhan Wuya, had successfully survived!

Perhaps it was because of his weak energy fluctuations or because he was just a small ant who had proposed the entire plan for the sacrificial offering, the demonic spirit surprisingly neglected his existence for the time being.

He still continued to block his presence though, not daring to make any movements and hoping that the calamity would pass. He was convinced that the backlash would only last temporarily. It was impossible for the current situation to last eternally.

When Li Yunmu jumped into the passage to Earth without caring for the consequences, the blood monster released a howl and the demonic spirit which had descended returned to its original place.

Instantly, the Black Spirit World lost the effects of descent of the demonic spirit and regained its calmness.

But now, the ground was filled with corpses, and the entire upper echelon of Black Spirit Valley lay dead. It was as if they were using their miserable condition to inform everyone that the backlash just then and the descent of nefarious spirit were all genuine.

At that instant, Zhan Wuya felt a sudden shock, and his heart began to pound loudly. He was watching with a deathly stare the silhouette at the center of the altar which was previously protected by the black mist—the master of Black Spirit Valley.

“The entire Black Spirit World is mine, and Black Spirit Valley is also mine. Perhaps I can’t return to Earth and the blood sacrifice has been ruined, but this aftermath is also pretty good. Hahahaha.”

Zhan Wuya raised his head and began to howl wildly without any fear for the consequences.

Even though Black Spirit Valley’s valley master was protected by the Black Spirit World, he still couldn’t survive the terrifying backlash and had perished. At that moment he, Zhan Wuya, was the ultimate winner.

Step by step, he walked toward the body of the valley master with both craziness and nervousness. The whole inheritance of the Black Spirit World was on the valley master’s body.

Slowly, he got close. Ten meters, five meters, three meters, one meter, and Zhan Wuya stretched out his hand while laughing.

However, the next instant, his smile froze because the corpse of the valley master suddenly moved and rolled over. Beneath him was a slender shadow which stood up at that moment.

The shadow held gazes with Zhan Wuya, then its body flickered, becoming identical in body and shape to Li Yunmu. After it, the shadow faintly grinned at Zhan Wuya.

It was just a smile, but Li Yunmu’s expression was enough to frighten Zhan Wuya, instantly freezing his expression.

“It’s over, time to die.”

Suddenly, a voice echoed in Zhan Wuya’s mind. The shadow lifted its fist and punched him with great force.

“You, how could you hide from the perception of the evil spirit? How could it neglect you when you’re so formidable! Impossible...”

Zhan Wuya was dead, but not willing to close his eyes, and he toppled to the ground wide-eyed.

Until the time he took his last breath, Zhan Wuya couldn’t understand: How had Li Yunmu concealed himself from the nefarious spirit? Moreover, he had personally witnessed Li Yunmu leap into the passage to Earth with Li Qinghong.

Li Yunmu had indeed crossed the sea with a trick and returned after jumping into the passage to Earth.

After killing Zhan Wuya in one move, he sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. This time, he had truly staked it all.

With one mistake, his plan would’ve been foiled.

Originally, Li Yunmu had believed that in the special circumstances of the Origin World, he could use Ghostly Evasion to the extreme and use the eleven shadows to substitute for himself in case of death.

In any case, he should’ve been able to flee from the Black Spirit World.

But after he personally experienced the terrifying might of the demonic spirit and felt death approaching him, he didn’t despair and at the most crucial junction went through his death soe he could be reborn.

He had indeed leaped into the passage to Earth, but shadow ten and shadow nine had substituted for him and Li Qinghong.

After that, he exploited Li Yun’s new shadow skill, Shadow Carapace, to hide beneath the corpse of the valley master and thoroughly conceal himself from the furious demonic spirit.

However, regardless of whether it was the technique to substitute death or Shadow Carapace used for concealment, neither of them would have been able to trick the evil spirit if it had been calm-headed.

But none of that mattered! He had successfully survived the calamity!
