A thin curtain like a steam with space ripples covered Shi Yan’s group. The teenager was still cautious, maintaining a distance from Shi Yan with eyes filled with anger.
Then, he turned and looked at the ice crystal opposite to them. He became totally baffled.
That ice crystal was smooth and flat like a mirror, which reflected everything clearly.
However, he couldn’t see his image reflected in it even though he was facing that mirror ice crystal.
Any creature with a body would be reflected in the mirror. It was the rule of Nature that people couldn’t break.
However, they were standing in front of the ice crystal and that crystal didn’t reflect their images. And he could still see that crystal. This observation made the youngster realize something. He quieted down.
Don’t worry. As long as you don’t roll away, the Dark Shadow clansmen can’t find you even if they come here.
Shi Yan smiled, looking at him. Pondering for a while, he said,
I’m Shi Yan. I’m also an enemy of the Dark Shadow Clan. We’re like partners here. What’s your name? Why are the Dark Shadow clansmen hunting you down?
Shi Yan didn’t know why he had a soft spot for this youngster. He couldn’t describe this feeling. It seemed like he had a close connection with this youth subconsciously.
This kid had so many cuts on his arms and his body had a madly destructive aura. To other people, he looked extreme and evil. To Shi Yan, he felt comfortable and relaxed seeing him.
I’m Benny,
snorted the teenager. His manner was still distant.
. . . Benny,
nodding and smiling, Shi Yan continued asking,
Why do the Dark Shadow Clan want to kill you?
It has nothing to do with you!
The teenager put on a cold face, glaring at Shi Yan. His eyes were filled with wicked resentment as if he hated all the people in this world.
Kid, you don’t know how to live, right?
Ka Tuo grinned fiendishly.
Kid, do you want to die? Answer when you’re asked. If you dare lie, you will face the consequences!
Benny snorted, turned his face away. He didn’t want to look at Ka Tuo.
Ka Tuo’s face stiffened. He was enraged. He smiled evilly as he was about to give the youth a lesson.
Alright, it’s okay if he doesn’t want to tell us,
Shi Yan rose his hand to stop Ka Tuo.
Shi Yan had an unknown feeling for that youth, so he didn’t want Ka Tuo to bully him. That was why he stopped the man.
Ka Tuo glared at the youth, smiling coldly. But he stopped there.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The engine started to hiss. Shortly after, they saw a butterfly war chariot landing. The war chariot carried three Dark Shadow men. They were the strongest warriors of this group. One was at Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm and the other two were at First Sky of Ethereal God Realm.
The three Dark Shadow clansmen had half of their bodies protruding from the war chariot while the other half stayed inside. Their cold eyes were raking through the area, releasing Soul Consciousness to search.
As Benny saw the three Dark Shadow men, his face became as cold and malicious as a sharp blade. He spat, cursing wholeheartedly,
Damn those hounds!
Although he was cursing them, his face was anxious and restless. He was afraid that the three Dark Shadow warriors could spot him. His nerves were tense as he was prepared to attack in any minute.
Shi Yan glanced at him. He frowned as he had a plan.
The three Dark Shadow experts at Ethereal God Realm drove their war chariot around. They gradually became impatient. Their drifting Soul Consciousness scattered, covering the entire area.
Benny quietly accumulated his energy. He was ready to run at any minute. His malignant eyes gazed at the three Dark Shadow clansmen.
He was here. How can he disappear so strangely like that?
The leader at Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm shouted, his voice sharp and cold.
Yeah, it’s true that he was here.
The other two answered, nodding to indicate that the direction they senses was also here.
Inside the light curtain, Benny’s, a teenager from the Dark Clan, eyes brightened. He was standing just one hundred meters from the Dark Ghost clansmen. It seemed like they could reach him with their arms quickly. With their soul ability, they should have been able to find and capture him. Their Soul Consciousnesses scattered and searched for a long time and yet they hadn’t found him. The three Dark Shadow experts seemed to be blind.
Benny wasn’t a fool. He contemplated and then he figured it out something. He looked at Shi Yan, prying,
Space power Upanishad?
Shi Yan smiled and nodded.
The youngster calmed down.
He didn’t look at the three Dark Shadow men anymore. He sat down, facing Shi Yan and Ka Tuo. He still maintained a distance from them while taking out a divine crystal to recover his energy. He looked a little relaxed.
Not good!
The leader of the Dark Shadow troops discolored as he stared at the compass in his hand. He shouted,
We were tricked!
The other two Dark Shadow men glared at the compass in the other’s hand. Their faces incomparably grimaced.
The light dots in his compass blinked and then disappeared one after another. Within less than one minute, five light dots disappeared. It meant that the soul altars of their fellows had been utterly destroyed
Fei Lan and Leona were at Ethereal God Realm. They had the ability to challenge higher-realm warriors. Their hands were soaked in blood as their fighting experiences were vast.
The two of them had attacked the other troops all of a sudden. With the power of their malicious powers Upanishads, it was easy to make the Dark Shadow clansmen pay a bloody price within a short time.
Looking at their fearful complexions, Shi Yan knew that Fei Lan and Leona succeeded and that they were killing the others.
With their deeds, Fei Lan and Leona could smash the warriors who were at Ethereal God Realm. The gap of one whole realm wasn’t something that could be made up. Those Dark Shadow clansmen didn’t have Ethereal God Realm. At this moment, they were like sheep waiting to be slaughtered. They were killed rapidly.
Seeing that the situation wasn’t going right, the three Dark Shadow experts retreated like lightning. They didn’t care about this area anymore.
At this moment, they realized that they had fallen into their enemy’s trap, a typical
luring the tiger from its domain in the mountain
strategy.
Shortly after, the butterfly war chariot disappeared from their sight.
He extended his hand and made a cut. It looked like he had torn space and drawn a hole in the light curtain. The cold air from outside flooded in, making people shiver.
The youngster shuddered. He gawked at his image reflected in the ice crystal. He knew that he had walked out of the confined space. He looked at Shi Yan, asking,
I don’t have any business here, right?
He understood clearly that he was used as bait. Now, they wouldn’t want to keep him anymore as the others had got what they wanted.
Ka Tuo waved his hand. He couldn’t help but shout at him,
Get lost! As far as possible! Or else, the remaining Dark Shadow clansmen won’t spare your life!
Benny had a beam of malignant light in his eyes. He glared at Ka Tuo and then jumped into the crack of the ice underneath. He swayed and then disappeared.
Shi Yan chuckled,
That kid runs really fast. He’s not ordinary as he was able to avoid the Dark Shadow Clan’s pursuit until now. That kid is unusual. I don’t know why I like him when I see him. I can’t describe this feeling…
Hey?
Ka Tuo was shaken. He couldn’t hold it, saying,
Senior, you… You have this feeling too?
Shi Yan was bewildered.
What do you mean?
Although I was foul-mouthed to him and I threatened him, I don’t know why I also like this kid. I felt comfortable with him. It’s like… It’s like when I stay with you, senior, or with Madame Leona and precursor Fei Lan. I would instinctively consider treating him as someone in my family. Right! It’s that feeling. I instinctively considered him as one of us!
Ka Tuo didn’t explain clearly. His wording was a little vague, indeed.
However, Shi Yan understood his idea clearly.
He became perplexed. The light sparkled in his eyes while he contemplated.
After a while, Shi Yan suddenly gave a low shout.
Benny!
The crispy noise of broken ice echoed from the crack underneath. They could hear staggering footsteps. That teenager was extremely flustered.
Shi Yan was surprised. He smiled naturally,
Come here!
He had known for a long time that this youngster had only Third Sky of King God Realm. His competence was nothing special. However, his life was tough as he could survive the Dark Shadow Clan’s pursuit.
Of course, the reason why the Dark Shadow Clan couldn’t kill him was because of his exceptional ability to conceal his life magnetic field. He could even avoid the sensitive Dark Shadow clansmen. However, his powers of concealing the soul couldn’t work on Shi Yan, the one who cultivated Life power Upanishad.
When the teenager heard Shi Yan shout for him, the reluctant and dispirited feeling when the soul was confined emerged in his heart once again. He was so infuriated, but he didn’t have a solution for this. He emerged from the crack of the iceberg. His rage boiled his mind as he grunted.
What else do you want? More bait? I remember you all!
Shi Yan’s bright eyes lay on the mess of his hair covering his forehead, asking all of a sudden.
Wipe out the hair on your forehead. I want to see your glabella.
The teenager shuddered, his eyes very frightened. He had a madly destructive aura on his body, which was about to explode like an erupting volcano. His aura rolled torrentially as if he had fallen into a disordered state of mind.
Ka Tuo was shocked. As he recalled something, his eyes became incomparably hot. He stammered,
Se- Senior, you mean… He and I… He and we are…
Shi Yan didn’t answer Ka Tuo. He was still looking at the youngster earnestly. His eyes gazed at the glabella covered under the teenager’s hair. He didn’t even blink.
The destructive energy fluctuations on the boy’s body became thicker. His eyes were filled with crazy thoughts. He said through his gritted teeth, his face malicious,
Are you the hounds of the God Clan too?
Shi Yan took a deep breath to steady his restless mind. He told the youngster calmly,
Never mind. I got it. You don’t need to do anything. You should go with us now. We’ll defeat these Dark Shadow troops first. Then, we’ll talk. Our origins… are related in some way.
The dark youngster looked shocked. The madly destructive intention in his eyes disappeared slowly, his face perplexed.
Our origins?
Shi Yan smiled brightly and nodded in confirmation. He said,
Yeah, we are related somehow. But we have to put it aside for a while. Right now, we should finish our business first.
