As the voice sounded, a figure clothed in a black cloak—with the entire face shrouded beneath the hood—slowly walked over.
But Link acted as if he had not heard him and completely dismissed him. As his thoughts moved, the long, demonic stick—controlled by the Cirrus Limbs—radiated a strange scarlet light.
The swarm of chilling eyeballs on the stick spun round and round. Filthy, blasphemous whispers flowed out.
The Black Dragon Gang elite, who had the scarlet light shine on him, instantly stiffened. His eyes became empty, and he revealed a look of extreme terror as if he had seen a great horror.
Piteous cries also sounded in the room!
But very soon, the cries stopped. Their heads were gnawed at by the large cirrus mouths that crept out from the long stick, emitting the crunching sounds of chewing!
The cirri that extended out from the long stick became even thicker and brawnier!
The eyeballs on the stick turned blood red as if they had engorged with blood, becoming even more hideous and fearsome!
The remaining few Black Dragon Gang elites were deathly pale. A chill madly spread in their hearts.
Fear swept across their bodies like wind, and cold sweat surged!
Some people took to their heels with shaking legs, but the speed at which the cirri at the top of the stick extended was even faster than their escaping speed!
One after another, the Black Dragon Gang elites had their heads gnawed off.
Following the continuous [Ingestion], the number of eyes on the long staff was actually still increasing!
For every head it devoured, two more eyeballs—filled with resentment and despair—appeared on the stick.
The remaining Black Dragon Gang elites turned wrathful in their hearts upon seeing that they had no hopes of escaping. They activated the chaotic equipment in their hands to attack Link, wanting to fight for a slim chance of survival for themselves.
Sounds of the wind being cut through exploded, containing a frightening might that crushed the cirri—which were about to spread out!
But through Link’s blessing, the long stick’s grade had been raised, and it was even more demonic. In addition, as Link controlled it, its might had skyrocketed.
It definitely wasn’t something the Black Dragon Gang elites could counter!
The dense cirri meandered like pythons. After being chopped off, even more new cirri grew out.
Very soon, these slimy cirri gradually wrapped around the remaining Black Dragon Gang members, binding their ankles and bodies!
In merely a moment’s time, the remaining few Black Dragon Gang elites had cirri fully coiled around them like individual stout spheres!
“Gang Leader, save us! Kill him! Kill him!”
“Gang Leader, help!”
…
The Black Dragon Gang members—who were hanging onto their last breath of life—continuously cried for the help of the figure standing outside the room. However, Black Dragon only watched on with great interest and had no intention of acting.
So much so that he was even filled with anticipation in his heart. He thought inwardly, One can get addicted to releasing the evil intentions in their heart. Chaotic equipment isn’t that good to use. Once Link is unable to break away from the madness and distortion, Doctor and I will be able to obtain a new piece of material!”
Black Dragon licked the chapped corners of his lips. A hint of greed and heat flashed across his eyes, which stared at Link. He knew that Link would certainly be an excellent piece of material!
Very soon, about ten of the Black Dragon Gang elites were all killed and devoured.
The stick of bloodied eyes before Link also appeared to be even more bloated.
The interior of the large room turned quiet. Only the rustling sounds emitting from the turning eyeballs and the roving cirri with mouths could be heard.
Xue Linglong and the others were all rather dazed at this point.
After Link seized the long stick, Yuna also cast [Holy Light Purification], allowing them to recover from the illusion slowly.
Upon witnessing all of this, they couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Shock was written all over their faces, and they didn’t know what to say at all.
Link was like an unconquerable demon lord. In front of him, the ten-plus Black Dragon Gang members—armed with chaotic equipment—actually became sheep with absolutely no way of fighting back.
In a mere few minutes, they were devoured clean!
Fortunately, such a figure was standing on their side; otherwise, the consequences would truly be inconceivable!
The rescued civilians also wore dazed looks; their hearts were full of shock and appalment!
The Black Dragon Gang members—who were originally like a nightmare in their hearts—were actually so vulnerable before the white-robed man! It made them surprised but also fearful.
Once more, Black Dragon Gang said, “How is it? This piece of equipment is really good, isn’t it? Join us; the Black Dragon Gang is the place that truly suits you. We embrace reality; we embrace madness and distortion. All things in this world are our resources for us to become stronger!”
As they listened to this evil discourse, a hint of nervousness appeared on Zhao Yongkang and the others’ faces. They were truly a little worried that Link would be bewitched by the Black Dragon Gang.
Just the thought of making an enemy of Link made everybody’s hair stand on end!
Link turned around slowly and faced Black Dragon. An icy glow fluctuated in his gaze, and he totally couldn’t be bothered to speak to this lunatic.
Whether it was chaotic equipment or all sorts of mysterious abilities, Link only regarded them as a sharp blade in his hand. He was the person controlling the weapon; it was impossible for him to be controlled by the madness and twistedness contained within the weapon.
With a thought, the cirri manipulated the long stick of eyeballs to point toward Black Dragon.
The cirri—which crept out of the ground and the walls—instantly became active. Like pythons, they carried a fearsome aura and shot toward Black Dragon!
Black Dragon’s gaze instantly turned cold. “It seems like you have already made a choice.”
He swung his arm. A jet-black longsword appeared in his hand and brought out a pitch-black sword glow.
The light of the blade flashed across and chopped off the dense cirri that shot over. Black Dragon’s lips moved slightly, and he even continued to chant in a low voice.
An obscure incantation sounded!
Link instantly sensed something amiss. The long stick—which was originally being controlled by the Cirrus Limbs—became restless.
As if a certain kind of inhibition had been broken, the crimson eyeballs carrying hatred actually stared at Link!
When he finished chanting the incantation, Black Dragon said with a contemplative smile, “The equipment that Doctor Ghost developed isn’t that easy to wield.”
In the next moment, the cirri actually came striking toward Link!
In addition, the bloodied eyes on the long stick released a wave, wanting to counter-corrode Link’s [Cirrus Limbs]!
Since some kind of inhibition within the chaotic equipment was removed, this long, demonic stick actually began [Backlash]!
These were clearly tricks that Doctor Ghost had specially left behind when producing these pieces of equipment!
Xue Linglong’s heart instantly clenched. “Lord, look out!”
The hearts within Luo Xinghe and the others’ chests also dropped; they looked full of worry and astonishment.
“The weapon also dares devour its owner?” An icy voice sounded, accompanied by the roar of exploding air!
The long stick covered in eyeballs was directly ripped apart, crushed, and turned into a pool of filthy minced flesh by Link’s [Cirrus Limbs].
The cirri that extended out from the long stick also rotted swiftly, turning into pus.
In terms of grade and might, even the long stick—which had been blessed—couldn’t compete with the [Mask of the Faceless]’s status.
Afterward, streaks of sharp sword energy flew out of Link’s body. His white robes flapped—graceful like an immortal!
The [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] was instantly launched!
Waves of sword intent dispersed. The fiery sword glow seemed as if it was about to cut through space and ruthlessly slammed toward Black Dragon!
