Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 23

Ch 23: The wind-up was too long

When the youth behind him uttered the words ‘Qinghe Lake’, Qin Jin-nian knew that he had revealed himself too thoroughly.

Therefore, he launched an attack almost without any hesitation.

A mass of pitch-black shadows suddenly swirled up from under Qin Jin-nian’s feet, instantly transforming into a sharp shadow spear that shot upwards, directly towards the youth’s neck. It emitted a sharp whistling sound.

The youth hadn’t even finished speaking when he was faced with the shadow spear’s attack, but his eyes only flickered, and then a hint of a smile appeared.

“Espers? ……Looks like I’m in luck.”

He said slowly.

At the instant the shadow spear was about to land on his neck, his hand appeared there.

A layer of pitch-black luster appeared on his hand, as if it were a kind of armor. Only a light ‘clang’ was heard, and the shadow spear’s momentum of piercing instantly stopped at his palm.

A cluster of brilliant divine light flashed in his eyes, as if he had discovered delicious prey, he looked at Qin Jin-nian and licked his lips……

“An Esper with no spiritual energy…… at most, First Sense, right? I didn’t expect my luck to be so good, that there would be such a high-quality ingredient coming to me automatically……”

Before the word ‘door’ could be spoken, his expression suddenly froze. The next moment, he sharply turned his body and tilted his head……

A sharp shadow spear, unexpectedly, suddenly shot out from behind him at an angle.

But the youth reacted too quickly, and managed to dodge it at the last moment…… The shadow spear brushed past his scalp.

The youth was also slightly stunned, and then his gaze became even brighter as he looked at Qin Jin-nian, “Oh? An Esper at the First Sense realm has actually been developed to this extent? ……Looks like, you are quite rare……”

Before the rest of his words could be spoken, his expression suddenly changed again. He frowned and lowered his head, black light appearing on his left hand, and he slammed it downwards……

It was yet another sharp shadow spear, which unexpectedly burst upwards from between his legs!

Clang!

Another loud sound, the shadow spear was blocked by his left hand.

After three consecutive times, the youth’s expression also became somewhat displeased. He raised his eyelids and looked at Qin Jin-nian, and said faintly: “Three times is enough. I still have the mood to chat with you now, don’t be too quick to find……”

Before the word ‘death’ could be spoken, the next moment, a shadow spear, brushing the edge of the third shadow spear, burst upwards.

This time, the youth’s expression completely changed, and a look of anger appeared. He snorted coldly, and without saying a word, the muscles in his legs suddenly exploded, and he was about to jump away to dodge.

But as soon as he jumped up, the next moment, a huge force suddenly pulled him downwards.

“What?!”

The youth’s expression finally changed, and he realized that, at his ankles, he didn’t know when, but he was actually firmly bound by two shadow tentacles!

As he jumped up, the two tentacles simultaneously exerted force, pulling him downwards.

And this force was unexpectedly not small!

Of course, if it were normally, he could break free of this force instantly.

But this time, the timing of this tentacle’s force explosion was too fatal, and moreover, he wasn’t prepared at all. This caused his figure to pause for a moment.

And it was this moment of pause, at this moment…… that was enough to be fatal!

Because the fourth shadow spear had already, without any mercy, burst towards his crotch!

“Shatter for me!”

The youth felt a sense of life-and-death crisis for the first time. A look of shock and anger appeared in his eyes. He roared, and a cluster of dark black mist suddenly erupted from his body.

That black mist was dense to the extreme, filled with a strange aura. This sudden eruption was like a high-explosive bomb.

He seemed to want to use this eruption to shatter the binding on his body and the shadow spear that was bursting towards him……

But, he had obviously underestimated the strength of these shadows.

The tentacles trembled frantically, but they didn’t shatter.

And that shadow spear, in the next instant, with a ‘pfft’, pierced into this person’s crotch!

“Ah!!!!”

Seriously injured, the young man immediately let out a scream that didn’t sound human……

Men understand the pain.

“This is impossible! An Esper with no spiritual energy at all, it’s impossible to develop to this extent!!”

A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

But Qin Jin-nian’s attack wasn’t over yet.

The man was seriously injured, but the next moment, a shadow blade more than two meters long suddenly emerged from the ground, spun in the air, and slashed down towards his head.

The man discovered the shadow blade. In the air, he endured the excruciating pain in his body, black light appearing on his arms, and blocked in front of the shadow blade.

Clang!

The shadow blade was blocked.

◈◈◈

But before the man could breathe a sigh of relief, the next moment, a shadow hammer, four meters high, suddenly appeared in the high sky, and in the next moment, it swung down like Mount Tai pressing down!

Boom!!!

This time, it was completely overwhelming with momentum. The youth only had time to roar, and his figure had already been directly smashed into the ground by the war hammer.

But as he fell to the ground, a pile of shadow spikes suddenly emerged from the ground!

About one meter high, forming a cone shape, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top……

The man’s expression changed drastically.

He roared, and a terrifying black light erupted from his body once again. He waved his hands, wanting to break these shadow spikes.

But suddenly, two shadow tentacles appeared out of thin air, and at a speed that left no room for error, instantly grabbed his wrists from both sides.

“?!”

The youth was obviously a little stunned, but as he was struck and fell from the air, this moment of being stunned was already enough to make him fall heavily to the ground.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!!

Seven or eight shadow spikes, immediately pierced through his body, turning him into a hornet’s nest!

Pfft!

A mouthful of fresh blood gushed out from his mouth.

At this moment, his hands and feet were held by the shadow tentacles, and his body was pierced by shadow spikes……

He stared fixedly at Qin Jin-nian……

Looking at Qin Jin-nian again, he stood calmly in place.

“What kind of Esper is this……?”

Shadow spears, tentacles, shadow blades, ground spikes, war hammers……

In just this short while, the opponent’s superpower was simply ever-changing. Even the youth was a little stunned.

But Qin Jin-nian didn’t answer. At this moment, he had already retreated more than ten meters, standing in place, just looking at the youth, his gaze calm.

Not getting an answer, the youth coughed, a series of fresh blood gushing out from his mouth, and then he gritted his teeth: “I’m not reconciled!”

Of course he wasn’t reconciled. From the fact that he could arrive behind Qin Jin-nian, less than two meters away, without Qin Jin-nian noticing…… it showed that in terms of combat power, he was far superior to Qin Jin-nian.

If he hadn’t talked nonsense and had directly attacked Qin Jin-nian, then Qin Jin-nian would probably have already been GG.

But unfortunately……

He underestimated his opponent.

And then paid the price in blood.

Qin Jin-nian stood still, looking at the youth who had already become a blood gourd, his expression still remained calm.

“But even if I die, I will drag you down with me!”

And sure enough, the youth still had a hidden move. He stared fixedly at Qin Jin-nian, the evil intent in his eyes reaching its peak at this moment.

Then, only his mouth began to emit a series of strange and complex syllables.

Then, Qin Jin-nian saw the black mist above his head begin to surge wildly.

As if something wanted to drill out from inside……

The next breath……

Pfft!

A shadow blade, burst out from the man’s mouth.

The youth’s eyes widened suddenly, as if he couldn’t believe it, and looked at Qin Jin-nian.

Fresh blood gushed from his mouth, and after a couple of gurgling sounds, his whole body convulsed. After a moment, he stared with wide eyes, filled with unwillingness and anger, and finally, he stopped moving……

And the black mist surging above his head, in an instant, returned to calm, and gradually showed signs of dissipating……

Qin Jin-nian observed silently from a distance for a while, until he was sure that the man was already dead, and then he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

“It really is that villains die from talking too much.”

“And……”

“The wind-up was too long.”
