Chapter 178: Dark Night Starry Sky Barrier
Just as Qi Bei disappeared into the tent, three shadowy figures appeared like ghosts.
He escaped. Lets chase him, one of the figures said sharply.
In an instant, the three shadows disappeared once again from his tent.
Qi Bei swiftly maneuvered through the jungle like lightning, aware that he was being relentlessly pursued. The sense of danger in his heart reached its peak. Dean Mo had issued a warning but had not shown up, which already indicated a few things.
In a valley, the three shadows appeared from three different directions, trapping Qi Bei in the center.
Qi Bei stood still, his nerves and muscles tense, but his mind became incredibly clear due to heightened concentration. His senses instantly became much sharper.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
Are you from the Dark faction? Isnt it too audacious for you to appear now? Do you not consider the Temple and the disciples of the Holy Land a threat? Qi Bei taunted, trying to distract the attention of the three individuals without letting his guard down.
Kill! one of them uttered a cold word.
Immediately, the three shadows moved at the same time, leaving only an afterimage in their original positions. Qi Bei was enveloped in a dark and deathly aura, blocking off all routes of retreat.
Earth-grade, Qi Bei instantly understood their strength. All three of them were Earth-grade experts. His eyes narrowed, and he swung his sword fiercely, creating a golden light that traced an arc, opening up a gap. He then turned into a wisp of light smoke and darted out through the gap.
Ha! Not only did Qi Bei not escape but instead paused in mid-air. The Blade of Silence unleashed a golden dragon-shaped battle qi, slashing towards the closest shadowy figure.
Although Qi Beis current strength hadnt broken through to the Earth-grade realm, he had already condensed four qi pills within his dantian. His strength was infinitely close to that of an Earth-grade expert. Coupled with the amplification of his internal energy through the Divine Dragon Art which was stronger than his battle qi, his attack had definitely reached the level of a Earth-grade expert.
The shadowy figure reacted quickly and swung his sword in defiance. A black wave surged towards Qi Beis battle qi.
However, something unexpected happened. Qi Beis dragon-shaped battle qi actually broke through the black wave like a bamboo, raging fiercely towards the shadowy figure.
At this moment, the shadowy figure finally reacted, but it was already too late to evade. In desperation, a dark battle qi armor formed on their body, forcibly enduring the attack.
Boom!
The shadowy figure was sent flying, their battle qi armor shattered into pieces, and even their clothes were torn apart, revealing two flesh masses.
Damn, its a woman Qi Bei thought, realizing that it was another woman with peculiar preferences. The beauty scorpion he had encountered before had a tattoo on her face, and this woman had a star map tattoo on her breasts. There were even two golden rings piercing the tops of two nipples.
However, this woman didnt care about her exposed upper body. As her body flipped and flew backward, she forcibly stabilized herself. Letting out a miserable howl akin to a fierce ghost, the star map tattoos on her breasts suddenly lit up. At the same time, the other two shadowy figures tore their clothes, revealing chest tattoos identical to the womans, except they were men.
In an instant, the star maps on the three individuals chests became dreamlike. Qi Beis gaze became unfocused for a moment, and suddenly, he found himself in an endless starry sky.
The Fifth-level Dark Night Starry Sky Barrier. Once it envelops a person, it continuously draws their blood and soul until they completely disappear. With each strong soul it absorbs, its barrier becomes stronger. The only way to break it is by releasing a soul power stronger than theirs, but if the released soul power exceeds your control, the barrier will not collapse on its own. A piece of information came from the Blade of Silence.
The soul! Thats the solution!
Ah, it hurts! The three of them clutched their heads and screamed in agony.
Soon, the three of them were writhing on the ground, their agonizing cries echoing as if they were coming from hell itself. Fresh blood began to seep from their seven apertures, while a flickering light appeared on their brows.
Suddenly, a loud noise rang out in their minds, and their souls were instantly torn into pieces. The star maps on their chests, each star exploded, blood spurted out, and their flesh became mangled, revealing their internal organs.
The space fluctuated, and Qi Bei, enveloped in golden mist, appeared out of thin air.
Phew, finally came out. He exhaled an exhausted breath and then absorbed the golden mist into his body.
At this moment, the runic inscription on the Blade of Silence in Qi Beis hand flickered, madly absorbing the surrounding dark power.
Dean Mo? Qi Bei suddenly noticed the Deans body lying lifeless on the ground and couldnt help but be greatly shocked. He quickly rushed forward to support him.
However, no matter how much Qi Bei called out, Dean Mo could no longer awaken.
Qi Bei fell silent in his heart as he glanced at another elderly man not far away, coupled with the immensely dense dark power in the surroundings. He could roughly guess what had happened.
Dean Mo, thank you. Qi Bei sighed.
Suddenly, Dean Mo coughed and abruptly opened his eyes.
Dean, are you okay? Qi Bei asked in pleasant surprise.
Dean Mo initially looked at Qi Bei as if he were a stranger, but then seemed to remember something, and his expression gradually changed.
Im fine. Dean Mo stood up, shook his arms, kicked his legs, showing no major injuries.
You are not him Qi Bei furrowed his brow.
Dean Mo looked at Qi Bei and said, Indeed, I am not him. I am me, and he was him. Now that he has dissipated, the body is naturally under my control. However, some memories are retained in my consciousness, so I know what has happened.
Qi Bei suddenly felt a sense of melancholy. Dean Mo hadnt died, but this Dean Mo was not the same as the previous one.
I want to know why he, who originally belonged to the dark faction, would help me, or rather, our family, Qi Bei asked.
Dean Mo pondered for a moment and said, I dont know the exact reason, but there is one name deeply imprinted in my memory.
What name? Qi Bei asked.
Lilith, Dean Mo replied.
Qi Bei was suddenly startled, frozen in shock.
