The entire process, from Yangos and Ye Zhongming’s sneak attack to the black shadow’s counter, was very short. Each moment, both sides tried to outwit the other. The difference was that the shadows were in the dark, and they were in the light. Their movement and actions were slightly suppressed.
Ye Zhongming took a risk by using the space gate as bait. He knew that the black shadow would appear, and he was confident in his ability and connection with Yangos, which is why he chose to do that.
But the black shadow’s ability, or rather, its terrifying speed, caught them off guard.
He thought the sneak attack on Yangos was its limit, but it held back. After failing to kill them, it chose to get out. However, this was more strategic than the first time.
Ye Zhongming and Yangos followed him in.
After the uncomfortable tugging force, they returned to Earth and saw some chaos.
Saintess stood there with a sunken face. Beside her were the core Cloud Peak members. Further away, the entire mountain range was boisterous.
“You didn’t stop it?”
Yangos said some human words before flapping its wings to get into the sky.
Everyone knew that it was extremely dangerous to let that black shadow enter Cloud Peak. With its speed and the cold light that could easily break dragon scales, no one would be safe. If the others were alone, they wouldn’t be able to resist.If they couldn’t find it, Cloud Peak might even be destroyed by it.
Ye Zhongming looked at the Saintess and saw that her white robe had a tear.
He knew that the robe was called the Robe of Faith; it was an elite Saint Hall equipment. Along with her crown and staff, they were the things she relied on the most.
When he fought her, he wasn’t able to break her robe.
“Too quick, even though we were ready.”
She didn’t reply. It was Xia Lei who held the blue blades that spoke.
Ye Zhongming and Yangos put up a show on the other side. On Cloud Peak’s side, they were also well prepared. Saintess and Death King Tree led the way and formed a formation at the gate. If the shadow broke through, they would attack.
They waited for the black shadow and attacked it, but they didn’t stop it.
The black shadow escaped right in front of their eyes.
He swept the ground and saw a few drops of purple blood.
“Collect this and send people to Saint Hall to clean up the battlefield.” Ye Zhongming gave orders, “Pay attention to the blood there too; don’t miss out. Send drones and people with special abilities to see where the demon monster army is. Once we confirm their location, return, and I will close the Space Gate.”
Although Xia Lei and the others didn’t know why Ye Zhongming didn’t tell them to search for the black shadow, they listened.
Ye Zhongming looked toward a direction and smiled coldly, “Don’t panic and do your own things. Best if you stay in a sealed space. Sned your battle squad members to defend the two labs and defensive formation core.”
He looked toward the Saintess, “Saintess, Death King Tree, we will kill that fellow!”
He didn’t explain and left in the direction he was looking toward after whistling.
Saintess and Death King Tree were stunned, but they followed.
They knew that Ye Zhongming had a way to find it.
Ye Zhongming did know where it was.
Yangos’s trap and Saintess’s ambush were to kill this black shadow. If they couldn’t kill it, he still had back up plans.
When he brushed past it, he activated the small equipment he had used on the Chain Prisoner-- Origin Mark.
This small equipment was special and only had one function. Make a mark that only the user of the equipment could see.
The equipment level was low but it could mark even level nine lifeforms. The difference was that level nine lifeforms might be able to remove it with their abilities.
Of course, some special abilities and equipment could also remove this mark.
At Sharp Peak Mountain, Wen Zhong noticed that Ye Zhongming had placed this mark on him.
As for how he figured it out, that was not known.
There was one thing that Ye Zhongming was sure about. Apart from only a few pieces of equipment, even if the marked lifeform knew that it existed, if the user didn’t remove it, there was nothing he could do.
But this thing could only work when they were a short distance away. Ye Zhongming and the black figure brushed past each other,, giving him a chance to use it.
Thus, even if the others couldn’t find the black shadow, he could use this mark to find it. To the eyes of the Cloud Peak king, this black shadow couldn’t hide.
Remove?
Ye Zhongming was confident that it couldn’t remove it! It wasn’t level nine, and didn’t have the ability. Find rare equipment? This lifeform wasn’t even from earth, so it didn’t know if equipment would have such functions. Even if it did, it wouldn’t be able to find one. Those pieces of equipment that could remove negative statuses could only be found by luck. If you tried to find them, you might not find one in your entire life.
The current black shadow was moving toward a direction. It wasn’t outside Cloud Peak but internal. It was in the shadows of a building, and it stopped there.
Ye Zhongming couldn’t see it, but he could confirm its location. He led Saintess and Death Kign Tree with Yangos above. The four of them headed over.
Since he found it, he didn’t plan on letting it go. No matter what it was!
The Exquisite Floating Ball flew into the sky. This equipment was like a radar, monitoring the region that the black shadow was at.
When they reached a certain spot, Ye Zhongming, the Saintess and Death King Tree split. He jumped before a villa which belonged to him. He searched and something rose from the roof.
