Chapter 182: Chapter 147: Shadow Death God
"Shadow!"
The umbrella was hit by the attack just now and got cut in half at the waist.
Ye Bai climbed up from the ground in a disheveled state, his clothes soaked and covered in mud.
The Sunflower Emperor perched on Ye Bai’s head, stretching out its leaves to shield Ye Bai from the wind and rain.
The rain from the sky poured down endlessly as if a dam had broken.
The white rainwater hit the asphalt road, making a splattering sound.
A shadow wearing a black cloak emerged from a crack in the stones.
Ye Bai saw the approaching figure, dressed in a black hooded cloak, with a mask on his face and bright blue eyes staring at him playfully.
The rain stopped two meters from him, as if held by an invisible hand.
His hands were in pockets, looking cool and composed.
"Ye Bai, you managed to dodge a bullet."
"The Shadow Kill just now did nothing to you. It seems your spiritual power is quite strong!"
"But it doesn’t matter. If it didn’t work once, I’ll try a few more times. Your soul, my pet beast has claimed it!"
The shadow said arrogantly.
He beckoned to the shadow on the ground, and countless black shadows converged into a death god holding a black scythe, floating in mid-air.
It bore some resemblance to the shadow, its face hidden in the hood, obscuring reality.
The hand exposed from the cloak was still enveloped in black fog.
Holding a two-meter-long scythe, under the thunder light, it emitted a chilling aura.
It raised the scythe high, it was the one that delivered the previous blow.
At this moment, the pet beast stood motionless beside the shadow, like a faithful guard.
As the rain gradually eased,
the dark clouds in the sky were still as pitch-black as ink.
"This is my contracted creature, the Shadow Death God."
"Today, you won’t escape my pursuit."
A trace of black pattern appeared in Ye Bai’s pupils, and information about the Shadow Death God appeared in front of him.

[Gender: None]
[Species: Clan of Shadow/Undead]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Level: Tier Three Peak]

[Weakness: Any light attribute attack.]
The Shadow Death God raised its scythe high, surrounded by numerous black auras.
Frenzied lightning fell from the pitch-black sky, jagged bolts striking heavily on the mountain rock.
Many rocks tumbled down, but neither of them moved.
The two stared at each other as the furious lightning fell from the sky.
"You’re quite lucky, not even the Resurrection Association could take you down, yet you managed to escape."
"I watched from the shadows during the Dan Kalabi affair, seeing it all clearly."
"If you hadn’t released the rabbit and carrot, and pinned the blame on the Blood Saint, you would have had a hard time leaving unscathed."
"You’re a wise man, but today you’ll meet your end at my hands."
The shadow laughed coldly, the frenzied lightning falling from the sky, and Ye Bai saw the mockery in the shadow’s eyes.
"Now go, Shadow Death God, Shadow Kill!"
The Shadow Death God, having charged for a long time, infused black currents into its massive scythe and swung it heavily in Ye Bai’s direction.
Just as Ye Bai was about to move, he found his body stiffen.
He saw countless black threads emerging from his shadow, firmly binding him.
"Shadow Binding!"
The shadow laughed: "Didn’t expect it, did you? While I was talking to you earlier, I’d already set the Heaven and Earth Net."
"I’m a killer ranked 49th on the assassin list, and there’s no one I can’t kill."
"I’ve even assassinated a Tier Five Pet Beast Master."
"It’s just in Jiaying City that I stumbled, and I’ve regretted it ever since!"
The speed at which the scythe descended was extremely fast, even the Sunflower Emperor couldn’t react.
Just as the scythe was about to strike down, the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm burst out from the Pet Beast Space, standing in front of Ye Bai.
The silver-white glow on the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm intensified, and the scythe sliced heavily across its body.
There wasn’t a single opening on its body, but the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm felt a tearing pain emanating from where it was slashed.
Large beads of sweat covered the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm’s head, quickly washed away by the rain.
Its entire body trembled violently, a soul-wrenching pain.
"Ahahaha, my Shadow Death God doesn’t cut physical bodies, but the shadow."
"Step by step, it will strip the shadow from the Shadow Death God."
"All Pet Beasts, without a shadow, will immediately lose their lives."
"This is my unique Shadow Harvesting Technique."
"The harvested shadow will be made into a Shadow Puppet by me."
"Unless you eliminate my Shadow Death God, the harvested shadow will not return to its original owner."
The Shadow Death God continued to swing its scythe, the sharp blade fiercely slashing at the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm.
The unstoppable Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm for the first time felt the pressure, intense pain surging through its brain wave after wave, whether human or Exotic Beast, when intense pain hits, adrenaline quickly secretes.
Massive secretion of adrenaline in the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm’s body caused some unknown change within it.
At this moment, the Dark Butterfly Clone silently appeared.
Its wings, as sharp as blades, emanated a chilling coldness.
The Dark Butterfly, like an assassin in the shadows, remained motionless at critical moments, and when the time was right, it would swiftly take down its opponent with lightning speed.
Shadow was arrogant; he just summoned the Shadow Death God to protect himself, with no defenses around.
A sound pierced the air, and in Shadow’s astonished gaze, the wings of the Dark Butterfly sliced through Shadow’s body.
Shadow was cut in half, the mask shattered to pieces.
Before Ye Bai could catch his breath, he saw countless black threads emerging from the wounds, fusing Shadow’s body back together.
Even the broken mask was repaired under the influence of the shadow.
"Do you think I’m too arrogant, too complacent, and made no defenses at such a critical time?"
"Why do you think you can kill me with normal means?"
Dark, profound eyes fixed on Ye Bai, who felt as if he was being stared at by a venomous snake.
"I was born with a shadow curse, which has also transformed into my talent. As long as there’s a shadow, you can’t kill me completely."
Shadow waved a hand, and a giant dark claw pierced through the Dark Butterfly Clone’s body.
The Dark Butterfly Clone turned into light and vanished.
Ye Bai clearly saw many closed eyes all over the claw.
"If it weren’t for that pesky old man at the Pet Beast Union using Hellfire to take out my main Shadow Warrior."
"With just my Shadow Warrior, I could easily crush you, a Tier Two Karakabi."
Shadow said viciously.
"However, even if my Shadow Warrior is taken out, it can still be reborn. As long as I harvest enough shadows, I can summon it again."
"Go, Shadow Death God, Dance of Death, annihilate Ye Bai’s Pet Beast completely."
The Shadow Death God’s body was enveloped in thick black fog, its body skyrocketing in height with the infusion of the black mist.
A giant eye appeared on the scythe, cold sweat pouring from the back of the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm.
Just as the Sunflower Emperor was preparing to intercept this attack, Ye Bai pressed it down.
Ye Bai made a gesture signaling the Sunflower Emperor to remain calm.
The Shadow Death God wielded its massive scythe, slashing fiercely at the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm.
This formidable strike seemed to tear the space, the giant shadow and scythe striking at the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm.
At the critical moment, the Light Goddess Butterfly Clone appeared, a gigantic orb of light emerging from its body, like a sun rising high.
The darkened sky suddenly shone as brightly as daytime.
The blinding light abruptly appeared, and the scythe-wielding Death God let out a wretched scream.
Black flames erupted from its body, and the massive scythe fell to the ground, shrinking into an ordinary scythe.
Under the assault of the strong light, the Shadow Death God’s body shrunk until it completely turned to ashes.
The Shadow Death God was instantaneously eliminated by the Holy Light, enraging Shadow greatly.
It was a Pet Beast he’d spent so much time finding that mastered the rules of shadows.
If it had grown, it could have become a formidable force.
But it was destroyed by the Holy Light shining upon it.
Shadow’s body also showed signs of severe burns, white smoke emitting from it.
Exotic Beasts of the shadow variety are extremely strong, yet also very weak.
Their strength lies in ignoring physical attacks, allowing them to traverse shadows freely, and even open up Shadow Space.
They even have a certain degree of restraint over attributes like metal, wood, water, fire, earth.
However, the major weakness of shadow Exotic Beasts is their vulnerability to light attribute attacks.
If struck by a light attribute attack and unable to hide in Shadow Space, they suffer severe damage.
Bloodshot eyes appeared in Shadow’s eye sockets, Ye Bai could feel the immense fury of this Resurrection Association assassin.
"Originally, I only intended to turn you into a Shadow Puppet."
"But now, I’ve decided to let your soul burn in Hellfire."
Shadow seethed with rage, and upon hearing this, Ye Bai’s eyes lit up.
