Night’s Nomenclature

"Hey, friend," Qing Chen looked at Shendai Yunluo in the sky and suddenly asked, "The news of you openly coming to help me can't be hidden, I should be considered a public enemy of the Shendai Consortium, right? I killed Shendai Yunhe, and kidnapped Shendai Jing Cheng. It's said that the Ten Attendants are the sons of the Shendai head, and they know about this. Can you still go back to Shendai?"

Shendai Yunluo closed his eyes on Bai Rongyi's head, his white hunting attire rustling in the turbulent airflow: "Naturally, I can go back. In the Shendai Consortium, there are only eternal interests. Now someone needs me to balance Shendai Yunxiu in the Outer World. As long as they can't find a replacement, I'll be fine. Besides, someone is watching this body of mine. Unless a suitable opportunity arises, no one will touch me."

"What if?" Qing Chen curiously asked, "I mean, I've drawn too much hatred, what if they really can't tolerate you?"

Shendai Yunluo smiled slightly: "Friend, are you concerned about me?"

"I'm just asking," Qing Chen casually said.

"Don't worry, if someone wants to trouble me, I'll hold a gun to my head and say I want to commit suicide. Naturally, there will be people who cherish this body to stop me," Shendai Yunluo said in a rogue manner.

However, Qing Chen knew that things weren't that simple.

At this time, Shendai Yunluo said with a chuckle, "Don't you know? I'm now the number one expert in the Shendai Consortium. Who can do anything to me?"

Qing Chen was stunned.

Now that Shendai Qianchi is dead, Shendai Yunluo, as the number one person under the Shendai Demi-God, has become the top expert of the Shendai Consortium!

I've been making a fuss for so long, making friends with Shendai members, and the other party is actually the top expert of Shendai.

Moreover, the most crucial point is that this top expert came all the way here to help fight. It's quite exciting.

If those people from Shendai knew this, they would probably be furious.

Qing Chen suddenly asked: "Why are you helping me? I mean, even if you need the Metahumans' eyes, you can quietly harvest them. With a major battle about to begin, no one will specifically guard the corpses. But you came so openly, why?"

This high-profile appearance is like when friends are fighting, someone specifically comes to support them.

However, Shendai Yunluo changed his tone, smiling ambiguously: "Wait, you wouldn't really think we're friends, would you?"

Qing Chen pouted but said nothing.

The distance between the two was suddenly widened again by Shendai Yunluo.

At this time, the smile on Shendai Yunluo's lips grew even wider. What's too easily obtained won't be cherished, friend.

But as Qing Chen said, what he is going to bear this time is far more than Qing Chen imagined.

But so what? I don't have many friends. If I came thousands of miles and saw my friend's corpse, should I dig it up or not?

This question is really a bit embarrassing.

Shendai Yunluo laughed: "Let's take care of these two people first. I'll leave after digging out their eyes. The Chen Family Army is getting serious now. A field army brigade is acting as the vanguard, and another field army division has just arrived. It seems that someone really wants to kill you. I won't stay here and wait for you to die."

With that, Shendai Yunluo closed his eyes again.

On the battlefield, the three Shikigami, Horse-Faced Rakshasa, Bone Woman, and Place of Execution, were moving around Chen Bing.

The Imperial Guards fought fiercely, and the giant axe in their hands left deep scars on the stone walls beside the valley. The Horse-Faced Rakshasa seemed to be unable to cope and retreated, the nine-ring knife and the giant axe clashing together, making a clanging sound.

Looking at it this way, the Shikigami's strength doesn't seem to be that great.

But just as Chen Bing drove the Imperial Guards forward to chase and hack, the Bone Woman suddenly appeared behind the Imperial Guards, and her bone sword, like a scalpel, accurately stabbed into the Imperial Guard's ribs.

The Imperial Guard groaned in pain and swung back, but when the Bone Woman did a backflip, her toes lightly touched the axe handle, and she was already far away.

The Imperial Guard wanted to chase, but Place of Execution released a puff of smoke, obscuring the Bone Woman's whereabouts, and the Horse-Faced Rakshasa's nine-ring knife had already struck his shoulder, deeply wounding him.

The cooperation of these three Shikigami was as smooth as flowing clouds and water, making Qing Chen feel a sense of aesthetic pleasure.

The bone sword in the Bone Woman's hand was like a thorn, always able to pierce the gaps in the Bright Light Armor. The sturdy Imperial Guards, in front of the nimble Bone Woman assassin, had all their strength but couldn't use it.

Although Shikigami have their own independent consciousness, they are more adept at fighting individually. In battles of the same level, Shikigami are at a disadvantage when fighting alone. But when Shikigami cooperate like formations, the more Shikigami there are, the more terrifying they become.

In this world, there are very few people who are good at multitasking. The Yin-Yang Master's inheritance in Shendai Yunluo's hands seems to have taken the creation of heaven and earth. The Shikigami's movements are used to the fullest extent.

Each Shikigami's fighting style is incredibly exquisite.

In just a few minutes, the Imperial Guards were killed, and half of their Bright Light Armor was broken.

Chen Bing gritted his teeth. His year's worth of paintings were about to be destroyed today.

He no longer had his previous composure, but took out all the remaining paintings from the bamboo basket in one breath, intending to crush them all!

But at this moment, when he reached out to touch them, he found nothing beside him.

Chen Bing turned his head and saw that a clump of soil and gravel, like a hand, was holding up the bamboo basket and escaping to the distance.

"Thief!" Chen Bing was immediately exasperated.

After Zard was injured, he had been lying on the ground in a listless state, as if he had fainted.

But this guy didn't faint, but squinted his eyes and continued to pretend to be unconscious, secretly controlling the sand and getting closer while the Chen Family expert and Shikigami were fighting.

Chen Bing wanted to chase after the bamboo basket.

But his foot suddenly sank, and he saw the gravel on the ground turn into a big hand, firmly grasping him.

Chen Bing's figure, who was about to chase the bamboo basket, was trapped by this sudden attack!

Zard laughed happily in the distance: "Three A-Class Shikigami, plus me, four A-Class against one person, you don't deserve to die. Daring to burn my Boss's Purple Orchid Star, you deserve it!"

This sentence was clearly something Chen Bing had said just now, and now it was sent back to him word for word by Zard.

Qing Chen was stunned. He didn't expect this guy to be so vengeful.

His entire arm was glazed from the burns, but he still didn't forget to be sarcastic.

The next moment, the Bone Woman and Horse-Faced Rakshasa suddenly broke away from the Imperial Guards' hacking and turned to rush to Chen Bing.

The Bone Woman's bone sword pierced straight into Chen Bing's neck and greedily sucked the blood that flowed out.

Qing Chen shook his head. Chen Bing was like a bookworm, and his fighting instincts were far inferior to Shendai Yunhe's.

This may be the difference between a rising expert from the bottom and an expert raised in a greenhouse.

Shendai Yunhe's advancement was achieved through real battles, time and time again, while Chen Bing cultivated and painted in the city, with the Chen Yu-given Purple Orchid Star in his mouth, his realm improved by leaps and bounds.

However, those who have not experienced real battles, even with a high realm on the battlefield, will expose their weaknesses when facing experts of the same level.

Of course, the gap between large realms is still like a chasm between cultivators.

A-Class is A-Class.

B-Class is B-Class.

To fight beyond one's level, unless it's like killing Shendai Yunhe, you need to succeed in sneak attacks time and time again.

Even though Qing Chen is extremely strong overall, he has no way to deal with that fire-type Awakened One. If it were an A-Class, a puff of cloud would extinguish it, but he is still a B-Class. A small difference is the difference between life and death.

For example, facing Chen Bing, even if he knew that Chen Bing's weakness was himself, Chen Family cultivators and Yin-Yang Masters are similar, their bodies are weak, but even knowing that, he can't bypass those figures in the paintings to kill him.

At this moment.

Bai Rongyi lowered his head and let Shendai Yunluo land on the ground. This Shendai expert skillfully gouged out Chen Bing's eyes. He looked at Qing Chen: "Is this corpse still useful?"

"Yes," Qing Chen wanted to sacrifice it to Marionette. The corpse of an A-Class expert is enough to add another thread to Marionette.

Now he can control three people at the same time. If he sacrifices these two A-Class, he can probably directly control four.

The previous owner of Marionette's peak state was controlling 18 people, sweeping across the entire wasteland. Qing Chen seems to be slowly catching up with that progress.

Unfortunately, if he had an A-Class now, he could have kept Chen Bing and the fire-type Awakened One alive, controlling them to forcefully kill a bloody path.

On the other side, Yang Yang cooperated with Hyakki Yagyo to suppress the fire-element Awakened One.

Qing Chen turned around and focused on watching. In the past, Shendai Yunluo was unwilling to easily summon Hyakki Yagyo even when facing Xu Linsen. Now is a good opportunity to observe.

And Shendai Yunluo quipped on the side: "You don't need to look so seriously, do you want to observe Hyakki Yagyo's fighting style, so you can deal with me later?"

Qing Chen glanced at him: "I'm just curious about this Shikigami that made you work so hard to collect eyes, what exactly is so great about it. We don't need to consider each other as imaginary enemies for now."

Shendai Yunluo laughed: "Actually, I'm weaker than ordinary A-Class, and this Hyakki Yagyo has collected more than half of the eyes, and is about to break through the Demi-God threshold."

"Huh? Isn't it that you need to collect 100 pairs of eyes to have the strength to rival a Demi-God?" Qing Chen was puzzled.

Shendai Yunluo shook his head with a smile: "If collecting 100 pairs of Metahumans' eyes is only barely a low-level Demi-God, it wouldn't be worth my making a big fuss about. Watch closely."

The fire-type Awakened One, seeing that Chen Bing was dead, subconsciously cursed the waste in his heart, then turned to escape.

However, it was too late to run now.

The huge Hyakki Yagyo, dressed in white clothes, appeared ghost-like, blocking his path. This speed was still between A-Class and Demi-God, and could even pull out an afterimage in the naked eye.

The next moment, Hyakki Yagyo's sleeves fluttered, revealing the sixty-three pairs of eyeballs on his two arms.

Pairs of eyeballs looked in different directions, each with its own thoughts, each flexible and unusual, as if when Shendai Yunluo handed over the eyeballs to Hyakki Yagyo, he also handed over the souls of those dead experts!

In an instant, the eyeballs that were originally looking in different directions actually turned at the same time, staring fixedly at the fire-element Awakened One!

Those eyes shed bloody tears at the same time, as if dozens of people were weeping blood together.

Shendai Yunluo softly said: "Ten Directions World."

At this time, Qing Chen suddenly saw the fire-element Awakened One in front of Hyakki Yagyo, suddenly forcibly separated from the elemental state.

Immediately afterward, the fire-element Awakened One's body seemed to be misplaced, as if two worlds intersected on his body, his upper body shifted to the right by five centimeters, his neck shifted to the left by five centimeters, and his entire body was inexplicably divided into several parts.

The originally complete person was now forcibly misaligned.

This strange visual effect made people shudder involuntarily!

The Awakened One's body was like a Lego toy that had been maliciously misassembled, twisted and bloody.

And on the cliff behind the Awakened One, there was a rumbling sound of collapse.

Hyakki Yagyo's strange "Ten Directions World" power actually penetrated the Awakened One's body and even acted on the cliff, causing the cliff to misalign and collapse!

With a loud bang, huge rocks on the cliff fell to the ground, with smooth and neat cutting marks on the edges.

Qing Chen silently watched this scene. Is this the ability to split space? Even A-Class has no power to fight back in front of Hyakki Yagyo?

He looked at Shendai Yunluo: "Has anyone ever collected 100 pairs of eyes before?"

Shendai Yunluo shook his head with a smile: "Of course not. When you're about to collect enough, you'll become the enemy of the whole world. No one wants you to have the combat strength close to a god, and gods don't want that either. So, the previous owner of Hyakki Yagyo was killed by a joint effort when he had collected eighty-three pairs. Among those who took action, there was also Shendai Qianchi. This ancestor didn't want anyone to threaten his position."

Qing Chen shook his head: "Shendai is really good at internal strife."

Shendai Yunluo laughed back: "What about Qing Family? The amazing Shadow Succession, isn't it now in a mess?"

Qing Chen was speechless. Indeed, the Qing Family's internal strife is even more serious than Shendai's.

He waited until Shendai Yunluo gouged out the eyes and casually sacrificed them with Marionette, each getting what they needed.

"What are your plans next?" Qing Chen asked.

"Of course, I'm running away," Shendai Yunluo laughed, "If I don't leave, once Chen Yu and Li Bingxi come, I won't be able to escape."

Saying that, he stood on Bai Rongyi's head again and flew into the sky: "Remember, you owe me a drink. When one day we both have no more enemies and don't need to be so sober, we will sit down and have this drink."

Bai Rongyi's beard, hair, and horns were all snow-white, matching the white hunting attire of this Yin-Yang Master.

The young Yin-Yang Master came from afar, helped out, and then left decisively.

Extremely chic.

This distant friend is like a figure from a poem.

Qing Chen watched him ascend to the sky.

But at this moment, a flying God Woman suddenly arrived from the distant horizon, with colorful ribbons fluttering around her.

The God Woman, who seemed to have flown out of a Dunhuang mural, had flowers and silk dancing, a silk road rain of flowers, a pipa playing in reverse, and music so fine it was almost silent.

Her figure seemed slow, but her speed was extremely fast.

In almost an instant, she arrived in front of Shendai Yunluo. The God Woman flicked her finger, and the sound of the pipa suddenly rang out. Bai Rongyi's huge body shattered piece by piece!

That's one of the gods and Buddhas in Chen Yu's paintings, Gandharva!

Shendai Yunluo's chic demeanor was gone, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.

Fortunately, Place of Execution materialized in time and caught him in the air.

Qing Chen's heart trembled. The power of Chen Yu's paintings is so terrifying! The God Woman only plucked a pipa string, and she shattered Bai Rongyi!

Even if Bai Rongyi is a low-ranked Shikigami, it shouldn't be so fragile!

He wanted to rush to the valley to save people, but Shendai Yunluo shouted angrily: "I'm fine, run!"

The God Woman swooped down in pursuit, and Shendai Yunluo's Hyakki Yagyo, Bone Woman, and Horse-Faced Rakshasa all fought back, just to buy some time for their Yin-Yang Master to escape!

Qing Chen couldn't care less anymore. He carried Shadow on his back, turned around, and ran wildly with Zard and the others. A Demi-God has come, and any resistance is useless at this time!

Useless!

He ran south, across hills and low mountains, through valleys and streams. Whenever they encountered blockades, Zard used earth walls to block them, without lingering at all.

The soldiers all over the mountains and plains, after receiving the order, went crazy and gathered towards here.

Everyone's mood gradually sank.

Until they finally crossed a mountain peak and saw the magnificent and magnificent giant tree in the distance.

No matter how many times Qing Chen saw it, he felt magnificent from the bottom of his heart. Even if someone said it was the World Root Tree, he would believe it.

However, when they crossed the mountain, Qing Chen despaired.

Because in front of them, a young man and an old man were playing Go in the wild, and these two people seemed to merge with the world.

Demi-Gods!

Chen Yu, Li Bingxi!

They used soldiers to drive away and consume Qing Chen's energy, driving them here forcibly, as if Qing Chen and the others were running to find these two Demi-Gods.

Chen Yu smiled: "The people from Shendai in the north thought they could run away after taking advantage? I think he thought this matter was too simple. I'm curious how you built your friendship. You should be mortal enemies when you meet, but you became friends. If he escapes this time, it's because I underestimated the strength of his Hyakki Yagyo Shikigami, but he's seriously injured and returning to Shendai, he probably won't live long."

Qing Chen looked at the two Demi-Gods with a grim expression, speechless.

Since leaving City 10, it seems that everything has been a dead end.

Qing Corporation army, Chen Family army, all kinds of Metahumans, and two Demi-Gods personally came.

It's as if everyone in the world must kill him.

The power of this world has weight, and when fate gives gifts, it has already secretly marked the price.

What Shadow wants to give him may require him to bet his life.

On the mountain, Qing Chen could still see soldiers gathering in the distance. Even without the Demi-Gods blocking the way, he couldn't escape.

Li Bingxi looked at Shadow behind Qing Chen with interest: "This is the true Face[-]of the Qing Family Shadow? In this world, there may not be many people who have seen his true Face[-], but it doesn't matter anymore, people don't need to remember the appearance of a dead person. Boy, and you, today you will pay off the debts for your master."

Qing Chen calmly said: "Go to hell."

Li Bingxi was stunned, his Face[-]darkening.

Qing Chen was ready to give it his all. Even if he died here, he must get something from these two Demi-Gods.

But just as he was about to fight desperately, he suddenly heard someone yawn behind him.

"I had a good dream, I dreamed that I killed Chen Yu, this little brat, and Li Bingxi."

Shadow on Qing Chen's back smiled and said.
