Berserk God of War-Chapter 1543: Shadow Control Realm, Entering Hanyi District
Suddenly, each Emperor Martial stage expert planning to plunge into the water just halted.
They stared fixedly at this corpse.
At the same time, Gong Ying’s laughter also abruptly ceased, then she sneered: "It’s actually the second assassination, but it’s useless, there won’t be a third attempt, he surely already... what a joke?"
Before Gong Ying finished speaking, bubbles surfaced again, and then another corpse floated up to the lake.
Immediately following, a scene that paralyzed countless with fear unfolded.
One corpse after another rose to the lake’s surface, each person dead in the same manner, all having their skull pierced by a sword, soon dozens of bodies were all floating atop.
Upon examination, the Emperor Martial stage experts who had just entered the water were all slaughtered completely.
More and more Emperor Martial stage experts fell upon the lake’s surface, but all just stared motionlessly at the floating mass of corpses.
A chill penetrated their bones as they watched the lake water gradually turn crimson, and they dared not even think of going down.
Damn it, dozens of Emperor Martial stage experts were all assassinated in the lake!
Who knows what terrifying thing lurks below the water, none dare to go down and die.
Now they have just one thought: It’s certainly not Sikong Jing’s doing, there must be some terrifying strong entity in the water.
In the air, Gong Ying’s body trembled violently...
Suddenly, she roared at Duanmu Chun: "Other than the Four Great Devils, who else do you have?"
Gong Ying also did not believe Sikong Jing alone could accomplish this, she thought Duanmu Chun surely had other arrangements, Four Great Devils plus Yao Yulou are only five Emperor Martial stage, yet Yao Residence still holds five more Emperor Martial slots.
But Duanmu Chun looked bewildered as well, secretly thinking: "Could it be Venerable Ba Lian, has she entered the formation again?"
Generally, Venerable Level experts cannot enter the Chaotic Zone Array Formation.
Unless hidden within the Mountain Protection Array like Old Xiu, but once they emerge, they’ll be discovered and killed.
However, Venerable Ba Lian had previously emerged from the Chaotic Zone Array, so she could accomplish such a feat.
Duanmu Chun also felt that Sikong Jing surely had assistance, otherwise, such swift assassinations would be impossible.
Yet as Duanmu Chun pondered, suddenly the truth emerged before his eyes; he noticed a certain Divine Shuttle Ship nearby with an old woman leisurely sitting upon it, who else but Venerable Ba Lian could it be?
Of course, no one could discern her presence...
And she similarly frowned downwards, evidently puzzled at how Sikong Jing managed this.
Duanmu Chun opened his mouth but naturally did not expose Venerable Ba Lian’s presence, he simply appeared confused.
It’s not Venerable Ba Lian, then who could it be?
While those atop the Divine Shuttle Ship remained mystified, suddenly someone exclaimed: "Quick, look over at Yao Yulou, he’s actually slain over a hundred Emperor Martial stage experts, how is he so strong?"
As these words fell, everyone’s attention was immediately drawn, their eyes involuntarily bulging.
At Yao Yulou’s location, only Yao Yulou remained.
He stood amid a pool of blood, beneath him only lay countless corpses, his gaze icy as frost...
The next moment he vanished, making a ferocious dive toward Sikong Jing at the lake.
Once again, those on the Divine Shuttle Ship faced each other in confusion, unable to believe Yao Yulou single-handedly killed over a hundred Emperor Martial stage, while Sikong Jing managed to eliminate dozens in such unforeseen ways.
Meanwhile, nearly a thousand Emperor Martial stage had gathered at the lake’s surface; aside from the slain, nearly all had arrived, yet not one dared to enter the water, every eye fixed upon the lake.
Someone deeply inhaled and gravely said: "There’s surely a terrifying strong entity hidden inside, what should we do?"
Who knows what to do?
Again, their fates weren’t aligned with the same force.
They harbored their own intentions, none willing to venture down at risk, each simply coldly contemplating the next move.
In that moment, they discovered Yao Yulou approaching.
One person’s eyes flashed coldly, saying heavily: "We must unite, half of us sealing the lake so Sikong the little beast has no chance of fleeing, while the other half go to capture Yao Yulou as leverage,"
These words caused everyone to face each other in confusion.
Soon others proposed a pact, citing mutual trust required...
And then of course everyone nodded in agreement.
They cannot descend into chaos now, first joining forces to capture Sikong Jing, then allocating the treasure.
Thus, nearly a thousand Emperor Martial stage quickly completed their pact, then half charged upward to meet Yao Yulou.
The other half worked together to tightly seal the entire lake.
Preventing both Sikong Jing and the supposed assassination experts from any chance of escape, any method to flee was cut off.
At this point, another spoke heavily: "Worry not, even if we can’t capture Yao Yulou, likely Sikong Jing must seek a breakthrough, the battle at Shaking Zone 1 will officially begin, he can’t abandon it."
All the Emperor Martial stage violently nodded, every face filled with anticipation.
... 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
What all did not know was, Sikong Jing had long been absent from the lake, having assassinated several dozen Emperor Martial stage experts, he took the opportunity to leave underwater by the dark flow.
Back then, several dozen Emperor Martial stage experts joined to seal the whole lake, yet they died.
Once they perished, the barrier they established naturally shattered.
And the new Emperor Martial stage arrivals didn’t immediately put forth a new formation, hence Sikong Jing took advantage of that interval of transition to calmly leave.
As for the dark flow...
Typically it would be hard to discover, but being the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, the Demon Fishes informed him where the dark flow lay.
Therefore, Sikong Jing still sat upon that lake turtle’s back.
Borrowing the dark flow he appeared upon a distant river channel, concealed by lush dense trees, preventing those on the Divine Shuttle Ships overhead from spotting him.
At this moment... chirp chirp chirp!
A Little Demon Bird suddenly landed on his shoulder, making Sikong Jing murmur: "Alliance, hundreds going to besiege Uncle Yao?"
Saying that, he chuckled again.
The next instant, Sikong Jing extended his finger to inscribe words upon the Little Demon Bird: Uncle Yao, I’ve safely escaped, quickly support Captain Hua, do not engage.
Having finished writing, Sikong Jing issued the Little Demon Bird an order, letting it fly away.
And Sikong Jing continued to hover atop the lake turtle between times, gazing forward faintly: "This river directly leads to Shaking Zone 1, next, I’ll await all of you there."
Initially, he hadn’t planned to journey alone, for he intended to bring everyone from the Yao Residence.
But now the situation had changed, with the Four Great Devils along with Yao Yulou protecting, surely everyone of the Yao Residence would smoothly enter Shaking Zone 1.
Thus, Sikong Jing made a decision, racing ahead into Shaking Zone 1!
Taking a deep breath, Sikong Jing commanded the lake turtle to submerge, all the while his True Qi frantically circulating.
"Shadow Control Realm, break through!"
In the water, Sikong Jing’s True Qi surged upwards, the True Qi suppressed for days finally breakthrough, reaching the Shadow Control Realm!
