Chapter 2042 Let Me Pinch You. Are You Real? (5)
Dong Lei took a deep breath and glared at him with resentment.
She could easily afford those everyday items so what was the point of taking them? This guy definitely hid the perfumes. This was infuriating!
Wan Dong and the others watched Wang Teng in disbelief. He was competing with a woman. That was embarrassing.
At that moment, a sudden scream came from a distance.
"What's going on?" Wan Dong and the others were taken aback and immediately became alert.
"Let's go!" Wang Teng immediately rushed toward the source of the scream.
He was incredibly fast, making no sound at all, as if he had melded into the darkness, rendering his figure invisible.
Wan Dong and the others were utterly shocked. How did this guy's speed in the darkness seem to have increased?
For most people, their speed would typically decrease in the dark.
But he, on the other hand, was running even faster!
The most significant aspect was the sense of concealment. If it weren't for the fact that the person was right in front of them, they might not have been able to detect him.
However, they didn't consider it as a dark ability. Instead, they assumed he must be using some kind of special stealth technique to achieve this.
…
In a hallway within the grand hall.
A group of people unexpectedly encountered the armored corpses and a battle erupted.
There were a total of five individuals, and they were also students from the Stellar Academy.
However, they were not the same group as Guang Yu and the others.
Boom!
The five heaven-stage martial warriors released their Forces and hurled their attacks at the corpse in front of them.
Their expressions were filled with fear as if they had seen something unimaginable, and two of the female warriors even turned pale.
Frightening!
This was horrifying!
In this pitch-black environment where they could hardly see anything, encountering a group of armored corpses exuding a rotting aura had almost scared them out of their wits.
"What in the world is this?" One of them exclaimed in shock and anger.
Their attacks landed on the armored corpses but only managed to push them back. The corpses charged back at them relentlessly.
This sight sent a chill down the spines of the heaven-stage martial warriors.
What was particularly unsettling was that the armor on these corpses could withstand heaven-stage attacks. Their attacks left no visible marks on them.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, one of the armored corpses drew its blade and swung it, casting an eerie, dim blade light in the darkness.
Splat!
One of the heaven-stage martial warriors, too slow to react, found the blade light just as it struck him, slashing across his chest, and causing a gush of blood.
The injured heaven-stage martial warrior was filled with shock and anger, repeatedly retreating as he felt a sinister aura invading his body, causing his primal force to become sluggish.
"Yuan Bai!"
The other heaven-stage martial warriors shouted in concern.
"Be careful. These armored corpses' attacks are quite mysterious and hard to see," Yuan Bai didn't have much time to explain and quickly warned them.
The moment his voice subsided.
Roar!
Several of the armored corpses let out roars and drew their weapons, swinging them toward the heaven-stage martial warriors.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…
In the darkness, the blade light suddenly appeared.
Despite being alerted, the heaven-stage martial warriors were still a step too slow.
Splat!
One female warrior with long blonde hair managed to evade, but her arm was grazed, causing her to bleed profusely. She grunted in pain and quickly retreated.
Another young-looking heaven-stage martial warrior shouted, his sword emitting a burst of sword energy as he swung it fiercely.
Boom!
The two attacks collided, and the shockwaves of their Forces pushed the young man away.
Two other warriors were luckier. They managed to avoid the attacks entirely and suffered no injuries.
"Darn it, what kind of attack is this?" A petite female warrior in a pink suit of armor gasped, furrowing her brow. "Little Bai, Sister Wei Na, are you two okay?"
"We're not dead but our Force transmission is a little sluggish. Whatever you do, don't get hit, or that strange force will enter your body," Little Bai, an ape race martial warrior, said with a serious tone.
"Yuan Bai is right. This Force is quite mysterious, and my Force feels sluggish too. What is this? I've never seen anything like it." The woman with long blonde hair named Wei Na frowned.
Roar!
The armored corpses roared and, without giving the group much time to think, charged at them once more.
Also…
Tap, tap, tap.
In the distance, a more intense cacophony of footsteps approached. In the darkness, nothing was visible, but an invisible pressure weighed on the minds of the group.
"Tong En, we have to retreat. We can't handle this thing," the young martial warrior said urgently.
"Let's find an opportunity to withdraw," the petite female warrior shouted.
Boom!
In the next moment, the attacks came, and they scrambled to evade, fighting and retreating in the darkness.
They were currently in a long alley, and just as they were about to retreat, a dense sound of footsteps approached from behind.
"Damn it!"
"There are armored corpses behind us too!!!"
The group's faces turned pale, their pupils constricting to the extreme.
Dark shadows raced toward them from afar, and invisible attacks were heading straight for the heaven-stage martial warriors.
The armored corpses in front also swung their blades, transforming into shadows and blocking their path.
Tong En and the others unleashed their domains, enveloping themselves in a sandy yellow glow to defend against the shadowy blade attacks.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The shadowy attacks struck, causing a deafening explosion.
The protective barrier formed by their domains trembled violently, instantly showing cracks.
Bang!
In the next moment, the domain protective shield couldn't hold, shattering into pieces.
Roar!
The distant armored corpses reached them, and they were now trapped between the attackers from the front and back. The armored corpses swung their swords toward them.
"Damn it! They want to kill us, but it's not going to be that easy!" Yuan Bai cursed, a massive shield appearing in his hand, which he slammed onto the ground.
