Chapter 1880 - 1869: Driven to Desperation
Chapter 1880 - 1869: Driven to Desperation
The Eight Paths’ figures flew very fast, but they appeared in front of Ao Cangsheng within just two breaths.
Yet at this moment, these eight didn’t look at Ao Cangsheng at all, their eyes were all on the tyrant.
It was clear that, in front of this Overlord, the eight people all jumped in fright.
What terrified them was that the dragon’s nine shadows contained a terrifying power. What shocked them even more was: how could Ao Kangsheng have run into this tyrant?
That person quickly glanced at the bully and clearly discovered one thing: this bully was already at the end of his rope.
Especially Murong Chu—he could almost be certain that, if he went all out, he would definitely be able to obtain the dragon’s shadow within a hundred steps.
That was the dragon’s shadow. It was the most precious thing within the Dragon Shadow Illusion Technique.
As long as you had it, your strength would definitely improve greatly.
Thinking of this, Murong Chu’s eyes instantly burned hot, his heart wrapped by a greedy thought.
The others’ eyes were even hotter and more vicious than Zhu Murong’s.
They hadn’t expected to run into the dragon’s nine shadows. For them, just getting a Star Beast shadow was already very good.
But now, there was an Overlord right in front of them. How could they not feel upset?
"Why are you here?"
However, Bai Shiyu was the first to return to Ao Cangsheng’s side, breaking the stalemate.
Judging from her expression, she was also very surprised that Ao Cangsheng would appear under the tyrant.
"I was just wandering around, running here and there."
Ao Cangsheng was very friendly toward Bai Shiyu. He gave a faint smile.
"You’re really lucky to run into Overlord Ao inside the dragon’s nine shadows!"
This line didn’t come from Bai Shiyu, but from Murong Chu, who had been staring at Overlord Ao.
The moment he saw Basha, he’d already thought of swallowing Basha’s beast shadow.
But Ao Cangsheng had clearly arrived before him, and somehow this tyrant was now heavily wounded.
Because of that, Murong Chu was extremely delighted. He was lucky enough to pick up the dragon’s nine shadows for free from the sky.
Murong Chu had never imagined that Overlord Ao would be injured by Ao Kangsheng.
With Ao Kangsheng’s strength, he could still kill twenty-eight Star Beasts. But to kill the dragon’s nine shadows—now that was pure fantasy.
Unexpectedly, Ao Cangsheng didn’t even look at Murong Chu; his gaze was still fixed on Bai Shiyu.
"How many beast shadows have you captured?"
Ao Kangsheng spoke lazily, his face as if the Overlord’s presence meant nothing.
"Three. What about you?"
Bai Shiyu was a bit lost.
Hearing this and seeing Bai Shiyu’s lonely expression, Ao Cangsheng immediately guessed what was going on.
The main reason Bai Shiyu only got three beast shadows was Murong Chu’s unfair distribution.
Ao Kangsheng could be sure that by now, the number of beast shadows Murong Chu had obtained was definitely far higher than Bai Shiyu’s.
"Five or six, something like that."
Ao Cangsheng answered calmly.
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes involuntarily lit up.
Obviously, they were surprised that Ao Cangsheng had actually caught so many beast shadows.
By their expectations, Ao Cangsheng should’ve already been kicked out of the Dragon Shadow illusion by now. How could he still be killing beast shadows?
Of course, this frustration only lasted for a moment. In the next instant, aside from Bai Shi, whose face was like falling rain, the rest once again showed utter disdain and jealousy.
The reason for their disdain was that they believed most of the beast shadows killed by Ao Cangsheng were from Heavenly Sand or even lower tiers.
As for the jealousy, it was because they hadn’t captured nearly as many beast images.
"Running into you here is fate. Let’s move together from now on!"
Faced with Ao Kangsheng’s disregard, Murong Chu was furious.
But because the meat in front of him was so big and fat, he finally gritted his teeth and endured.
"Are you talking to me?"
Ao Cangsheng glanced at Murong Chu, his tone suddenly turning icy.
"Is there anyone else here?" You’re quite the joker, brother!"
Murong Chu forced a laugh, pretending it was all very funny.
"If I’m not mistaken, you just kicked me out of the team earlier."
Ao Cangsheng sneered, especially stressing the words "kicked out."
Having been ridiculed by Ao Kangsheng again and again, Murong Chu’s face suddenly turned awkward.
Murong Chu gave a dry laugh and apologized. "That was just a misunderstanding. Don’t take it to heart, brother. If you’re willing, let’s go together from now on."
Everyone in the area could guess the reason behind Zhu Murong’s sudden change in attitude.
Simply because Murong Chu’s strength was too great, no one dared criticize him.
"I still prefer being alone. As for Brother Murong’s invitation, I’ll pass."
They had thought that once Chu Murong extended the invitation, Ao Kangsheng would basically agree.
But to everyone’s surprise, Ao Cangsheng openly rejected Zhu Murong’s invitation.
By this point, Murong Chu’s good temper was almost used up.
Seeing there was no need to talk further, Murong Chu waved his hand and said, "Let’s go. Let’s help him understand."
As Murong Chu spoke, the six people behind him all simultaneously released their ferocity.
Seeing this, Bai Shiyu’s brows instantly knitted together.
Although she couldn’t stand Murong Chu’s bullying, Bai Shiyu had no choice but to endure it again because of his overwhelming strength.
Now, Ao Cangsheng wasn’t just going to clash with Murong Chu again, he was also dragging in six more people.
Once the conflict broke out, with the power of the seven in front, killing Ao Cangsheng would be easy.
"Ao Cangsheng, come with us!"
In a hurry, Bai Shiyu cut in.
In her view, as long as Ao Cangsheng was willing to take a step back, this storm could be weathered.
Unexpectedly, Ao Cangsheng only smiled at her, waved his hand, and said, "Junior Sister, don’t worry about this."
Although Ao Cangsheng didn’t say more, his meaning was obvious: he had no intention of compromising with Murong Chu and the others.
"You really don’t know how high the heavens are and how thick the earth is!"
Murong Chu’s face turned cold. With a wave of his right hand, he immediately gave the order to attack.
Seeing Murong Chu’s gesture, Huo Jin, as Murong Chu’s foremost supporter, immediately threw a punch at Ao Cangsheng.
Qian Mo had long been unhappy with Ao Cangsheng, and followed right on Huo Jin’s heels.
"Whoosh—"
A gust of wind rose. In an instant, two white flashes shot toward Ao Cangsheng like lightning.
"Bang, bang—"
However, the next scene shocked everyone present.
Two loud explosions rang out, and Huo Jin and Qian Mo were sent flying back. They hadn’t even had time to throw their punches before they were struck hard at the same time, both blasted backward.
"Plop, plop—"
With two dull thuds, the two of them crashed to the ground, faces pale, unable to get back up for a moment.
Such a bizarre scene made everyone’s eyes widen.
No one had expected that Ao Cangsheng could casually slap his palms and instantly blow away Huo Jin and Qian Mo. Just how strong was he?
After the fright, a thick fear suddenly flashed across Murong Chu’s face.
As one of the most powerful in this group, he himself didn’t think he could blow away Huo Jin and Qian Mo like that—but Ao Cangsheng had done it.
Was this a fluke on Ao Cangsheng’s part, or his true strength? Murong Chu was a bit unsure.
"Come with me!"
Recovering from the shock, Murong Chu’s eyes filled with killing intent again, and he shouted once more.
Before his voice even fell, his body had already charged out.
Seeing this, Lu Li and Jiang Zishuai exchanged a glance in secret, then rushed out together with Murong Chu.
"Bang, bang—"
Two more explosions rang out. Just like before, Lu Li and Jiang Zishuai were sent flying backward at the same time, a mouthful of blood surging out.
As for Murong Chu, he had just charged out when he suddenly pulled back.
Just like that, it was Lu Li and Jiang Zishuai who ended up suffering for it.
