Chapter 1473: 140: Why 'Evil Retribution
Chapter 1473: Chapter 140: Why ‘Evil RetributionThe frost-white cloak fluttered in the air like a banner.
So fierce, so brazen.
Words from the world could not suffice to describe its brilliance at this moment.
Jiang Wang surrounded by flowing fire, his gaze calm.
The time for relaxation was far from now.
On the edge of life and death, he just took one step back.
He was still at the cliff’s edge!
When the enormous ghastly ghost over two zhang tall fell, Yanzi, Zheng Fei, Li Shou, and even Lin Xian, who was watching the battle.
All were stunned!
From the very start, Jiang Wang showed an extremely strong desire to attack, always actively creating opportunities.
But before Huan Tao truly fell, no one thought he could do it!
These were four infamous Human Demons, people who had grown through countless slaughters, doing the most heinous deeds, killing innumerable people. Whose hands were not drenched with blood?
Who among them wasn’t wanted by all sides but still managed to survive, thus becoming a Human Demon?
This was not like Xiong Wen and Fang Helling, who were almost just a filtering threshold, replaced after countless rounds of being Human Demons.
Wan E, Flesh Cutter, Mask Lifter, Beheader, were all wicked people notorious in various lands for their relentless evil.
The pursuit by Mo Gate could not eliminate Huan Tao, yet today in this Broken Soul Gorge, he died by Jiang Wang’s hands?
Yet the collapsed ghastly ghost and Huan Tao, who died with widened eyes unbelieving, were evidence of the fact!
He seemingly still had regrets, as if he wanted to say something, but could never open his mouth again.
Life and death sometimes are just results, devoid of any meaning!
Lin Xian quickly reviewed the battle in his mind, only to feel that every choice Jiang Wang made in fight was impeccable.
Clearly each opponent had the strength to fight him to the death, yet he shifted left and right, fought and evaded, pointed east and struck west, always controlling the battle’s rhythm. These powerful Human Demons became shields in battle, weapons to deceive his opponents.
If it wasn’t for the Masked Demon nearby, if it wasn’t for Zheng Fei and Li Shou present, how would Huan Tao dare to swallow the Fire Realm, and how would he have been killed with a single sword?
Imagining himself as one of the four Human Demons, Lin Xian truly couldn’t believe he could do better. The four Human Demons weren’t without cooperation, in fact, their coordination was extremely tacit, but Jiang Wang was really adept at creating opportunities in battle. A turn, a collision, could all be utilized to the extreme.
The onlookers could only marvel, nothing but marvel!
Only Jiang Wang himself remained calm.
What seemed like a miraculous feat to others was the determined finale he stepped into.
Reaching here wasn’t luck, but courage, wisdom, and strength.
From the moment he encountered the four Human Demons on the narrow road, he knew what kind of peril he was in. And immediately decided to challenge the legend.
As of now, it was far from over.
Among these four Human Demons, Huan Tao ranked the lowest, also the weakest. Huan Tao’s death would only bring forth a crazier counterattack.
The ensuing battle would be even more perilous.
Especially knowing that Zheng Fei and Li Shou had boiled the bloodlines of the Feng Chi and Qingyun families in the Green Cloud Pavilion, obtaining the Balance Blood. Their strength now would only be more formidable and terrifying than back then.
So, the first moment he sliced the ghastly ghost, he turned around with the sword.
The longsword hummed softly, eager to drink demon blood!
But the one to erupt first wasn’t the more dreaded Zheng Fei or Li Shou, but the Masked Demon Yanzi.
Witnessing Huan Tao’s death, Yanzi behind the Iron Wall first froze, then grew enraged.
She realized her hesitation had been fooled by Jiang Wang, Jiang Wang treated her as a weakling, relentlessly pursuing her to create opportunities… But if she hadn’t stopped with Iron Wall, how could they know the hidden sword behind Jiang Wang wouldn’t have truly gone for her? Perhaps in the Fire Realm, this sword was prepared for her.
She was furious for the former, and shocked for the latter.
Advance or retreat, both were difficult, and Huan Tao was dead after all.
This made her realize that facing a peerless genius like Jiang Wang, who dared to challenge legends, even with Outer Building suppressing Inner Mansion, even four against one, she could not afford to hold back her strength!
Her face started to change.
The rough-browed, broad-nosed man’s visage dissipated like water patterns, silently vanishing, while the nose bridge rose, brows softened, and cheeks blushed.
With facial features shifting, a woman’s face appeared, charming and delicate, reminiscent of youthful splendor.
Supporting the Masked Demon’s Core Supernatural Power was certainly not the Iron Wall, but this face.
More accurately, it was the Divine Skill “Human Face”!
A thousand people have a thousand faces, ten thousand have ten thousand voices.
But she, the Masked Demon, could wear a thousand faces, each one different.
Over the years, every time Yanzi killed a strong one, she would unveil their face. The effect of the Human Face skill allowed her to take the deceased’s divine abilities for her own use.
This is the origin of the name “Masked”.
Not only did it indicate that she would kill upon removing her mask, but also that she would indeed unveil the opponent’s human face!
Each human face could use a divine skill three times, and after three times, its power was exhausted,
The Iron Wall divine skill had an astonishing defense, but truly wasn’t rare. It was one of the casually chosen and consumed collections.
But the face she wore now was her prized possession. Years ago, it took considerable effort to peel it off. It’s one of the most precious and valued collectibles of her life, with only one use remaining, and she was reluctant to use it for many years.
This face was delicate and charming, this divine skill was rare in the world.
Named, Severed Strings.
To shatter the instrument and sever the strings, leaving the world without this sound!
The effect was…
