Chương 105: Liuli's Shock

Silent Shadow slowly turned his head, which was covered by a hideous black helmet, and two dark red lights, like the embers of burning embers, were indifferently cast onto the petite figure in deep blue not far away.

He stretched his shoulders and wrists, which were covered by heavy armor, and the metal scraping together produced a dull and unsettling "click-clack" sound, as if he were warming up before a battle.

"He—he's coming!" Alarm bells rang in Liuli's mind instantly.

She had just caught her breath from the battle with the Void Beasts, and now, facing this dark knight who exuded intense Void energy and seemed unfathomable, every nerve in her body was taut to the limit.

After this mysterious being that suddenly appeared drove away the eerie being wearing a smiling mask, will its next target be itself?!

She instinctively wanted to back away, to create distance between herself and this unknown entity, but the instant this thought arose, "Whoosh!"

The dark-skinned knight transformed into a streak of black light, almost invisible to the naked eye, and shot straight toward her!

"So fast!" Liuli's pupils suddenly contracted. The thought had only flashed through her mind before her body instinctively crossed her arms in front of her, trying to assume the most basic defensive posture.

But it wasn't until that dark figure flashed past her like a phantom that she belatedly realized that the other party's speed was so fast that she didn't even have time to react!

If he had targeted her just now, then he could have easily "casually" struck her in the instant he flew past. She didn't even dare to imagine what would have happened to her; being seriously injured would probably have been the best outcome.

This realization sent a chill down Liuli's spine, and cold sweat instantly soaked her back. She stiffly turned her head, her gaze following the dark figure.

Ji Ying not only ignored the girl in the blue and white combat suit, but also the juvenile Void Beasts who were trembling on the ground, too afraid to even run away, because they felt the pure Void Energy pressure emanating from him.

He didn't even have the slightest interest in glancing at these small fry who weren't even worthy of being called "appetizers."

The absolute suppression stemming from their higher life rank made these normally ferocious and violent beasts as docile as lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Like a king surveying his territory, he flew directly towards the deepest part of the Void Realm bubble—the source of the most concentrated erosion-level Void Beast energy—with a calm yet absolutely majestic demeanor.

There, a phantom beast exuding a strong aura of danger slowly emerged from the shadows of the building, revealing its ferocious form.

It was a gigantic monster nearly three meters tall, its body roughly maintaining a twisted human shape, its back arched high, and its knees with insect-like reverse joints.

Its entire body was covered with bulging muscle lines, and sharp-edged bone plates shimmered with a dark metallic luster, covering the muscles like natural armor.

Countless sharp, blade-like bony spikes extend from the edge of the bone plate, gleaming with a chilling, eerie light.

Its head is unusually simple, or rather, it does not have the "head organs" in the human concept. The bony structure of the scales extends upwards and eventually converges into a ferocious giant mouth.

It has no eyes, no nose, only a gaping maw that takes up the entire "face," with dark red gums fully exposed. The crisscrossing, gleaming white teeth inside are like a dense mountain of knives, leaving no doubt that it could easily tear apart any flesh and blood.

"Hoichi!!!"

This erosion-level void beast, exuding a primal and savage aura, let out a deafening roar the moment Ji Ying stepped into its perception range.

Although it lacked advanced intelligence, its biological instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm made it sense an unprecedented and potentially deadly danger emanating from the Shadowless One.

Unlike the nascent-level Void Beasts that trembled under the pressure of their rank, this Erosion-level monster not only did not back down because of the appearance of the Shadowless One, but was instead aroused by even more ferocious instincts.

Its hind legs, covered in bone spurs, slammed into the ground, instantly cracking and denting the hard concrete. Its massive body, like a cannonball, lunged at Ji Ying. Ji Ying hovered silently in mid-air, not even bothering to defend himself.

Faced with the beast's ferocious pounce, Ji Ying merely raised his head slightly, which was covered by a black helmet. Two dark red lights flickered indifferently in the gaps between his eyes, as if he were admiring an interesting toy.

He didn't attack immediately, nor did he make any dodging or defensive gestures. He simply stood still, letting the virtual beast launch the attack first.

The next moment, the powerful forelimbs of the Void Beast slammed into the seemingly thin, black armor of the Silent Shadow, unleashing a thunderous roar.

However, the expected scene of blood and gore did not occur. The claws that could easily tear through steel instead struck the armor as if hitting an indestructible barrier, producing a series of teeth-grinding "crunch" sounds.

Those sharp bone spikes and claw tips even cracked and broke due to the enormous recoil force.

Ji Ying remained standing still, the terrifying impact that had overturned a tank hadn't even caused him to sway.

After a brief pause, an even more ferocious rage replaced the beast's confusion. It roared again, its massive jaws, filled with fangs, snapping open to bite down on the shadowy figure that was only inches away.

"As expected of the trap that Mirror Lord prepared for me." Just as the giant maw full of sharp teeth was about to close, such a thought calmly flashed through Ji Ying's mind.

"In terms of pure physical destructive power, this monster's strength probably surpasses that of most erosion-level void beasts."

If I were in Starfrost form, facing this monster with such astonishing speed and strength, I would probably find it somewhat troublesome, let alone fighting it while my strength is diminished.

"But—" The thought flashed through his mind, and Jiying's body finally moved.

His movements were not flashy; in fact, they were extremely simple, yet incredibly fast.

Suddenly, his right arm, covered in jet-black armor, shot up with incredible speed, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, and met the beast's gaping maw with pinpoint accuracy.

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and the Void Beast's Healing Fang shattered like fragile glass the moment it made contact with Silent Shadow's fist.

Dark purple, foul-smelling blood, mixed with broken teeth and bone fragments, gushed wildly from the beast's massive maw, staining the ground beneath it a filthy mess.

At the same time, accompanied by a crisp metallic scraping sound, the jet-black blade on the side of the Shadowless left arm armor instantly popped out.

There are no fancy moves, no surges of energy, only the purest, most direct, and most lethal strikes.

The jet-black blade sliced through the beast's prized hard bone armor with the ease of cutting through tofu, plunging deep into its chest.

"all!!!"

The beast let out a piercing, agonizing cry, its massive body convulsing violently as dark purple blood gushed from its wounds like a fountain.

However, Silent Shadow's attacks did not stop there.

He raised both arms simultaneously, and the black blade drew a cold arc in the air, severing the two forelimbs of the beast that was trying to fight back with unparalleled precision at a speed beyond the limits of the naked eye.

Extreme violence and precise control of the battle rhythm were perfectly combined at this moment. The speed and power that the Void Beast was so proud of seemed so laughable and weak in front of the more powerful Silent Shadow.

In just a few breaths, it had completely lost the ability to resist. Its huge body was covered with gruesome wounds, and it could only lie limp on the ground, emitting weak moans.

Ji Ying stared indifferently at the Corrosion-level Void Beast before him, which had completely lost its ability to resist and could only struggle futilely on the ground. There was no pity in his dark red eyes.

He slowly raised his right arm and pierced directly and fiercely through the bone armor of the Void Beast's chest, tearing through the Void Beast's tough muscle tissue and penetrating deep into its still slightly heaving chest.

"puff--!"

The body of the erosion-level void beast suddenly stiffened, and its huge single mouth opened silently, as if uttering a final, silent lament.

Immediately, its massive body, as if drained of all life force, began to dry up and shrink rapidly, eventually turning into a pile of dark dust.

Ji Ying slowly withdrew his arm, and in his hand he tightly held a faintly glowing purple crystal.

At the same time, the illusory bubble that enveloped this area shattered like a phantom that had lost its support, and the distorted scene quickly returned to normal.

The cool moonlight shone again on the peaceful park, as if the thrilling battle that had just taken place had never happened.

Ji Ying stood still, looking at the dark purple erosion-level energy core. He suddenly clenched his five fingers and crushed it without hesitation.

A dense, dark purple aura surged forth from the shattered energy core, transforming into a stream of light that completely merged into the jet-black heavy armor he wore.

After doing all this, Ji Ying slowly turned her head, her gaze falling once again on the petite, deep blue figure not far away who had witnessed the entire battle and was now utterly shocked.

At that moment, the black blade on the side of his arm guard quietly popped out.
