Night has crept, the sun has long been drowned and replaced by moonlight.
The shadow claws dashed swiftly between the darkness, ripping through the thickets and occasionally hopping between one tree branch to another.
While running, the Shadow Claws that had sharp hearing caught the sound of bushes blushing. The voice sounded from behind. Reflex, he immediately turned around. But no one found it there.
“Maybe it's just a passing animal or my feelings.” Thought the Shadow Claw. But as he was about to continue his run, the rustling sound came back. This time there were more footsteps.
The Shadow Claws circulated the gaze around, his hunch saying something was wrong. But after a long time he looked around, it turned out that there was nothing. With the feeling still shrouded in curiosity, he turned around and left. But, suddenly…
“Where are you going?”
That voice really shocked the Shadow Claws. Besides he did not feel the presence of people, he also considered the sound of the step was only the sound of the wind.
“Who! Come out, don't hide like a coward!” Shadows Clawed while turning his body. But the long wait did not see any shadows or people appearing.
“The night is in the wilderness,
There's a rat carrying a girl out of nowhere,
If life in the world is useless,
Death is more appropriate for man,
Some die of misery, some die of misery,
But many also died deliberately looking for misery.”
There was the voice of a young man, alternating with the voice of a woman. The two voices chanted a verse-styled sentence.
As soon as he heard the mysterious person's voice, the Shadow Claws instantly turned around, but there was no one. The voice was clearly coming from the right.
“Show yourself!” Shouted the Shadow Claws until it coughed.
“Pity, don't shout.. Wear your eyes! I've been behind you.”
This time the mysterious voice sounded from behind. Suddenly the Shadow Claw turned around, but again he found no one there. With overflowing anger, a flick of his left hand sent a blow of energy toward one of the trees as close as two adults. He thought the person who spoke was hiding there.
But his guess is missing! The tree that was hit by the energy blow rattled down and then burned into charcoal. But the person he was looking for was also nowhere to be seen there.
“Hi.. hi, moron! Just believe it! Don't be too stupid. Aih, it seems like you became an elder not because it was great but because you bribed the Patriarch of your sect. Right? Ah, no need to answer if you are shy.”
The notoriously arrogant Claw Shadow's hair bristled, even though he had devised a technique to detect the presence of an opponent, but still he was unable to sense anything other than the presence of the night beasts that were around. Moreover, this night was illuminated by moonlight, so to look at the five more spears was still clear.
“Pity, already out technique still do not know where I am.” The mysterious man said, laughing mockingly.
The more cold sweat that flows through the Shadow Claws. If only the person was invisible and only the voice was heard, it would not be scary enough. But precisely the current condition is very scary because the voice of the mysterious person is moving, sometimes just like in the ear, sometimes as behind, sometimes away as if to leave. I don't know where the guy is hiding.
With guts that began to melt, he lowered the body of the girl named Taysu from his shoulders. Thrown violently to the ground. The impact of Taysu's body hitting the ground sounded loud but the girl herself did not make the slightest sound, either because she was struck unconscious.
“Alright, I'll be out now?”
“Aaaa..” Sudden Claw Shadow prancing in shock, until jumping backwards. The person he was looking for was already right in front of him!
Although the Shadow Claw was one of the Bloody Demon elders. But he had never seen a figure as hideous as the one before him at the moment. This made him want to not be afraid as well.
“How?” The ghost shouted while giggling.
The Shadow Claws inched backwards then suddenly let out a loud shout in tandem with a lunging motion.
The two hands of the Shadow Claws flashed rapidly, giving rise to the roar of wind that scattered the overwhelming heat, hitting the sinister figure. But every punch, kick and attack after attack he launched, could not touch the ghost at all.
There was a sound of laughter from a distance, the Shadow Claws were made to flinch, he immediately jumped back. Without loosening his vigilance, he glanced around. If his conjecture was not wrong, there was another ghost other than this figure before him.
His anxiety turned startled when he saw that Taysu was no longer in his place, the girl vanished without knowing who had taken her. There was no way an ordinary girl who was in a state of being bullied could escape.
Behind the thickets, an old man was laughing with a young man. They seem to enjoy the fear that the Shadow Claws experience. Apparently they were the ones who had bullied the Bloody Demon elder.
Sixty moves had already passed, but every attack of the Shadow Claw never once touched the ghost of the incident. Never hit the man, to touch the cloth of his clothes alone can not. Even the energy attack it unleashed meant nothing at all, as if it pierced through a fog. Though the attack clearly contained an energy so powerful as the level of a Sacred Swordsman. No doubt the ferocious attack released by the Shadow Claws made the trees fall, the ground around so hollow due to the explosion, the bushes molt in flames.
“Before I strike back. I'll be kind enough to give you one choice. Take off all your clothes or say goodbye to this world.”
The old man who was beside the young man who spoke could not help but laugh, he shook his head inexhaustibly at the ignorance of this young man nicknamed the Poet Swordsman.
“Should his nickname not Poet Swordsman but Swordsman Usil.” The old man who was none other than Patriarch Dai Wubai gave a smile. A new lifetime this time he faced an opponent in this ridiculous manner.
“I count one to five! ONE!!”
“Stat! What creature are you... Why are you interfering with my business?” Shouted the Shadows Claws that looked riled. His jaw was bulging, his claw-forming hand was swinging towards the ghost.
Duuarr....
Rays of energy in the form of reddish black claws pierced through the body of the buttered head ghost and continued roaring to hit the trees until they fell and exploded.
“TWO! There's no point in you attacking ghosts. How could a dead ghost be killed... Hik.. hik.. hik..” The ghost laughed again until his body convulsed like an electric shock.
“I'm not afraid of you! I can't die either!” Shouted the Shadow Claws, even if he cursed but his heart felt wry.
“THREE!! Don't think I don't know your weakness. Huh...! What do you want to die like? Broken head, heart destroyed or body burned to ashes?” Back the dumb-head ghost laughed giggling.
Knowing his opponent had known his weakness, inevitably the Dumb Shadow Claw as well, he was completely unable to do anything about it. Fighting it feels free. Among the black flow dropping self-esteem in order to maintain life has become commonplace, but as long as there is still a better chance of escape. That's what the Shadow Claw is thinking right now.
“FOUR!! Wanna escape? Please run..” Said the ghost in a mocking tone.
Although aware of the speech thrown by the ghost in the form of a warning, the Claw of the Shadow did not heed it. He immediately shot into the air. Devote all of his energy to flying as fast as possible.
Suddenly the body of the Shadow Claw hit something hard, like an energy wall. His body was thrown in the air, blood pouring out from all the holes in his head.
In a slightly yellowed look, the faintly Clawed Shadow saw a young man dressed in tatters and tangled-haired frown had grabbed his hair.
“Eit.... Rat can fly. It's too late for you to say goodbye.”
After the sentence was finished, suddenly the head of the Shadow Claw turned to ashes. His intact body inevitably slid down to the ground.
“Sore get pleasure, night meet death. How poor!” Sizzle Zhiyuhan aka Swordsman Poet while scratching his tangled hair.
