Book 7, Chapter 23: Sweep

The shadow ilanced around in disbelief, but even ure

He was obviously not physically here, but his voice was incredibly clear and direct This inconsistency drove the shadow mad

The shadoever, could not speak All it could do was open its mouth as it pantomimed a scream Even without a face or an expression, its actions clearly deular emotion: fear

An instant later, the scene around the shadow distorted

The black shadow discovered that its surroundings see returned to its previous positions

The SS Clearwater reappeared around it yet again

It was still in the Dragon Boat Youthful Labor’s corpse was to its side, and in the corner lay Night Rain, who seemed to have fallen asleep

Sounds of battle could still be heard in the background, but the situation was not nearly as dire or chaotic as it had been earlier

A ht in front of theht Rain awoke from his dream, crestfallen

They had been tricked

Everything that had just happened had been an illusion

“Not entirely,” Su Chen said with a faint sun, but it was still in its early stages — far fro the climax

His illusion had ressed

“At least I had the tione by, then you ht've honestly slipped by,” Su Chen said with a faint soal, Su Chen’s heart felt lanced at Youthful Labor, as lying on the ground, and then at the black shadow He assuredly asked, “The Harpies have actually ed to master the Soul Poison technique, an Astral technique Can you still return to your original body?”

The black shadohich was actually Youthful Labor’s soul fraght Rain

It seemed to understand as about to happen and reached towards its head to tear itself into two An instant later, however, a powerful will enveloped the shadow,it hard for it to eventhe shadow, Su Chen then slowly forced it back into Youthful Labor’s body “It’s better to live if you can Even though you think that living a life like this is no better than death, it’s better than you actually dying on ment had sacrificed its own lifeforce to poison Su Chen, and it was no longer intact If it was put back into its host body, then the individual would merely become a broken, worthless shell of a person Youthful Labor knew this, but he had still agreed to the plan No one could question his loyalty

But in the end, his loyalty didn’t matter The fact that he had failed his mission was an undeniable truth

He would not become the hero of the Harpies today

After Su Chen forcefully sent Youthful Labor’s soul fragers A crystalline coffin immediately appeared around Youthful Labor’s body

While this casual ht have seemed simple, it was actually incredibly profound The Boundless Sect’s disciples irown yet again

It was true that Su Chen’s strength had increased by leaps and bounds lately

His iy that he had obtained after for the divine script into divine energy With the aid of this newfound energy, Su Chen could sense his advance accelerating Many theories that had been previously obscured to him were now easily understood withoutnew enlightenment fro the Harpies’ scheme, Su Chen’s mood improved dramatically

At thatin intensity Unlike what the earlier illusion realm portrayed, the Demonic Beasts’ attacks came hard and fast with little reprieve between each wave After just a few rounds of attacks, Demonic Emperors had already joined the fray It see to end this battle quickly

“So the Demonic Emperors have already made theirup,” Su Chen muttered to himself as he teleported to the battle forly, a De in his direction

This Demonic Emperor possessed the form of a wild boar, and had clearly invested all of its resources into its body and not its brain It recklessly attacked any eneed to survive till now because large-scale battles were quite rare; otherwise, it would’ve never even made it to this level

At this inal fored forwards, its hooves thundering against the ground as it bared its sharp tusks at Su Chen

The Metal-Tipped Shuttles unleashed a few golden spears in its direction, but the boar actually ed to deflect the an idiot did coht be lacking, it wasn’t weak in the slightest

Unfortunately, its lack of intelligence alsoopponent; it actually locked onto Su Chen

When Su Chen saw this, he chuckled “Not bad”

He directly countered with an attack of his own

Both sides were at the Ultimate Emperor Realm In theory, they needed to trade nearly a thousand blows before victory would be deterth and used up all of their trump cards could the other side prevail

But Su Chen obviously thought differently For hile strike to slaughter this boar

As such, all he used was a single finger

This plain and unassule small bloody hole on the boar’s body

Normally, even ten thousand wounds of this size wouldn’t be able to kill a Deiven their ier strike struck it, the boar’s charge grinded to a halt as it swayed back and forth as if it were intoxicated Suddenly, it fell to its knees and pluer jab had co it

This Deed to survive the Exter surrounded by forty-two Des, and been wounded nearly three thousand times, and even been torn to a thousand pieces by the Heaven-Splitting Sovereign hier jab from Su Chen
