220: Chapter 220: Heroes Gather from Everywhere 220: Chapter 220: Heroes Gather from Everywhere Holy Mountain, Black Curtain Forest. “Netherworld King, how much longer must we wait here?” Kui Tuo Si was somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Shikai’s arrangement. Wang Kai had once saved his life at a critical moment, and now that Wang Kai was missing, Kui Tuo Si was very anxious, as was Phobos, who was impatient to go out and search for him. “Don’t be anxious. Even if you went out now, would you know where to look?” Ye Shikai told them to stay here patiently. “I don’t care, I must go out and search, even if it means death, I’m not willing to just sit here waiting.” Kui Tuo Si grabbed his twin blades, breaking free from Ye Shikai’s grasp, and Phobos also stood up, wanting to leave. “Be careful, there are people nearby.” Suddenly, Ji Qian, who had been meditating, opened her eyes and said in a low voice, “We are surrounded.” Everyone was greatly alarmed, instantly standing up and watching their surroundings with vigilance. Ye Shikai gave a slight smile, slowly stepped forward, and looked around, picking up a tree branch from the ground. “Come out, having so many people, this is quite the grand reception,” said Ye Shikai, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. “Someone’s made a move.” Suddenly, the Demoness shouted. In the blink of an eye, seven shadows flew towards Ye Shikai from all directions. “Clang.” “Clash.” ..... In the brief time it took to blink, the battle was over. The seven shadows fell nearby, and everyone could see that the attackers were seven sword-wielding women, each dressed in black battle gear, exuding a ghostly aura. “Seven Deadly Shadows.” Ye Shikai’s eyes sharpened, “I really didn’t expect that you would come too.” “Netherworld King, you are truly formidable; you are the first person to remain unharmed amid our combined assault,” said the leading woman. Seven Deadly Shadows, a top assassin organization of the Underworld, comprised of seven women. Seven strikes, seven as one, their synchronized attacks creating flawless execution in a mere instant. If it was an ordinary cultivator, they wouldn’t be able to block the seven strikes simultaneously and would already be fallen souls beneath their swords. “Ranked ninth to fifteenth on the Dark List, quite a reputation,” Ye Shikai spoke indifferently. “With just the seven of you, you’re still no match for me, and here we have two Main Gods and many other strong fighters. Refusing to retreat shows you must be confident.” “Call out all your helpers,” Ye Shikai said as he tossed away the tree branch full of sword marks, which he had used to block the combined strike of the Seven Deadly Shadows. “Whoosh.” “Whoosh.” As Ye Shikai finished speaking, over a dozen figures emerged, encircling the group. Ji Qian and the others were surprised, not expecting so many assailants, all familiar faces from the Dark List. Who had such power to rally so many at once? Ye Shikai counted the heads; there were twenty-four people. His eyes fell on a middle-aged woman who was the Black Widow, wielding a long black whip and ranked second on the Dark List, the highest among them. The last one ranked forty-seventh – each and every one a tough opponent. The group stood back-to-back, facing the twenty-four, not daring to be careless. Even though they were elite fighters from the Main God Temple, the opponents were desperate characters. The most pressing issue was the numbers; twenty-four against eight was a classic example of overwhelming by sheer force. Even Ji Qian, the Moon God, had a solemn expression, holding her gem-encrusted Magic Wand, ready to respond to their attacks. “Netherworld King, Moon God, you shouldn’t have expected this,” the Black Widow spoke first, being the highest-ranked. With the situation facing her, she was confident, “It seems I’ll be killing a god today.” “Heh, I didn’t expect that assassins, always so self-righteous, would obediently obey and be someone’s dogs,” Ye Shikai mocked, his words stunning everyone. A blatant provocation? But he knew, these twenty-four people wouldn’t have allied by themselves; there must be a more powerful person pulling the strings. Indeed, as soon as Ye Shikai spoke out, including the Black Widow, a hint of discomfort flickered across the faces of the twenty-four, confirming Ye Shikai’s suspicion that they were being driven by someone. As to who that was, an image faintly emerged in Ye Shikai’s mind. “Hades, you’re about to die and still so arrogant. It doesn’t change the fact that today you will die, even if we win by numbers,” a big man suddenly stepped forward, recognized by Ye Shikai as Pete the Brave, ranked fifth on the Dark List, a formidable character especially known for his favorite method of killing – tearing people apart with his bare hands. Ye Shikai gestured to the people behind him, signaling them not to act rashly and to follow his lead, then he looked around. The twenty-four were arranged in tricky positions, forming a classic battle formation. “Boy, I didn’t expect you to have so many enemies,” Dao Soul couldn’t help but tease Ye Shikai at this moment. “They’re all being manipulated,” Ye Shikai replied irritably, “Dao Soul, even now you’re joking.” “Haha, twenty-four Dark List experts teaming up to attack, that’s a tough spot even for two Main Gods. But I don’t believe you don’t have a plan,” Dao Soul changed his tone, hitting right at what Ye Shikai was thinking. “Don’t forget, our consciousness is connected. Whatever you’re thinking, I know it,” said Dao Soul casually. “Forget it, I’ll help you one more time. You stall for time, and I’ll activate the Inner God Scripture.” Ye Shikai was delighted inwardly, since Dao Soul really hit the nail on the head. Then, he pretended to be somber, looked around the group, and said lightly, “I hope you consider this carefully. If any of you leave now, I will not hold it against you.” As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd burst into laughter. Ye Shikai knew it was impossible to make a pack of wolves give up their prey; he simply needed a bit of time. “Hades, are you still half asleep? The crisis is on you right now, and still, you talk big,” laughed Pete the Brave. “Moon God, what is boss doing?” Soul Destroyer curiously asked Ji Qian. “I am not sure, watch his gestures,” Ji Qian was also unclear about Ye Shikai’s intentions. “Hades, if you let me kill you now, I can grant you a quick death,” the Black Widow said with laughter, “The always tough Hades is also playing the tragedy card.” “What if I don’t?” Suddenly, Ye Shikai’s pupils shrank, his voice filled with unmistakable intent to kill, a chill spreading among everyone. The moment was ripe, the killing intent evident. “Netherworld King Spell—Shadow Clone.”
