Chapter 173 - 173: 158: Holy Sect and Unlucky Monkey Face
About a kilometer away from the lake, on the mountain peak.
A young man clad in black clothes, with a pale complexion, squats at the top of the mountain.
He places his palm on his forehead, adopting a gazing attitude, looking like a monkey.
From time to time, he lets out sighs of wonderment.
“Look, look.” “This is the Martial Arts Association, these are the disciples of the Power Sect.”
“So strong.”
“Now look at our misfits on this side, dying because they’re too weak.”
“What do you think?”
When his words were halfway out,
The young man turned his head and asked.
Not far behind him, a man with Sun Wukong’s face mask on, the monkey-faced man, was kneeling on the ground with one knee.
Hearing the young man’s question, the monkey-faced man froze.
How do you expect me to answer?
I’m not even as capable as those who died!
The monkey-faced man curses inwardly, but doesn’t dare to reveal any hint of it.
“Mr. Shen, more than half of our forces have been lost by now. What should we
In the end,
The monkey-faced man chose to change the subject.
“Let them die.”
“Anyway, these people are either wanted criminals or bad guys, so they deserve death. ”
“What do you think?”
The death issue, once again raised by Mr. Shen.
Now,
The monkey-faced man is completely speechless.
I’m a fucking wanted criminal too!
Can you at least be considerate of other people’s identities when asking questions?!
He’s screaming internally.
No wonder in the Holy Sect, among those who have followed Mr. Shen on missions, the death rate is extremely high.
Even if there are those who miraculously survive, even the most wicked of them will show obvious psychological trauma afterward.
Mr. Shen’s character is capricious, seemingly innocent but in reality, he is indifferent to the lives of others.
Those of them who serve the Holy Sect are nothing more than puppets in his eyes.
Be it play or discard,
All within a single thought of his.
This time… I’m afraid my chances of survival are slim.
“Hey.”
Just as the monkey-faced man is wallowing in self-pity,
The voice rings out again.
Maybe it’s because the monkey-faced man hasn’t answered for a while.
Mr. Shen pouts, feeling bored and losing the mood for chatting.
He points to his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.
After pondering for a brief moment,
CLAP!
His eyes light up, as if he has come up with an excellent idea.
He looks down at the monkey-faced man.
“Why not, while that disciple of the Power Sect hasn’t entered the Sealed Land
yet, ”
“You go and try your luck?”
Whoosh!
The monkey-faced man’s eyes widen instantly.
He suddenly lifts his head, looking at Mr. Shen with a face full of terror.
“Mister, spare my life!”
“Mister, spare my life!”
He heavily knocks his head on the ground.
The force is so great,
It even knocks a small hole in the mask on his face.
According to the latest news from the intercom in his ear, the highest-ranked sheep-faced man in this operation had just been dispatched with five others, only to be instantly annihilated by the disciple of the Power Sect,
Now they’re asking him, a monkey-faced man, to go and try his luck.
Isn’t that like walking into the toilet with a lantern – asking for trouble!
However ,
Faced with the monkey-faced man’s plea for mercy,
Mr. Shen remains unmoved.
He merely reveals an interested look.
Then, he presses the intercom by his ear.
“All personnel in position, please take note.”
“An organization member has defected; temporarily regard capturing him as the top priority.”
“The member’s rank is ‘monkey’ , with a damaged mask, and his name is… Hold
on a sec.”
As he says this,
Mr. Shen releases the earpiece and looks at the monkey-faced man lying on the ground.
“What’s your name?”
Unfortunately,
The monkey-faced man doesn’t dare to answer.
All he can do is continue knocking his head, repeating words like ‘spare my life’.
Seeing this,
Mr. Shen shrugs his shoulders.
He forcibly grabs the monkey-faced man’s face and removes the mask.
“Wow!”
“You’re so ugly!”
Looking at the monkey-faced man, whose facial features are twisted due to several scars,
Mr. Shen shows a surprised expression, and exclaims exaggeratedly.
At the same time, He presses the earpiece.
“Pay attention, everyone.”
“The defector is a ‘monkey’ with several scars on his face; do not confuse him with anyone else.”
After saying this,
Looking at the monkey-faced man, who is now so scared that his facial muscles are out of control,
Mr. Shen stretches out his hand and takes the earpiece off the other man.
He smiles faintly, holding up two fingers.
“You have two choices.”
“Either let me kill you right now.”
“Or, start running, and if you can escape this area safely, I’ll pretend you’re already dead – how about it?”
Looking at the excited face of Mr. Shen, like that of a mischievous child watching a play,
The monkey-faced man finally understands,
Why those who have ever worked with him on missions would be left with psychological trauma.
“I’ll give you three seconds.”
“Three.”
“Two.”
Zoom!
There’s no time left for the monkey-faced man to beg for mercy.
If he doesn’t run away, knowing the maniac’s personality, he might really be killed on the spot.
With that thought,
As a black thread, the monkey-faced man swiftly escapes into the distance.
Behind him,
“Hehe.”
“There’s another good show.”
Mr. Shen simply stands atop the mountain, watching the monkey-faced man get further and further away.
There’s still some time before the plan begins.
During this time, just watching the people of the Martial Arts Association fight would be too boring.
And he doesn’t want to send all of his men to their deaths.
Out of helplessness,
He can only come up with such a game on his own.
On the outskirts of the lake.
Whoosh!
Black shadows swept past the trees, bringing gusts of strong wind.
The branches and leaves rustled.
The rain curtain thickened.
Water droplets splashed continuously on one person and a cat. “Brother Chen, although with my identity, I can enter the Sealed Land openly.”
“But if Zhao Zhenfeng recognizes me, I’m afraid he will target me.”
Transformed into a black cat, Shen Ziming lay on Chen Sheng’s shoulder, his amber pupils flickering with a calm light.
“So what you mean is?”
Chen Sheng dressed in black clothes, wearing a blank mask on his face.
Even now, his gaze at Shen Ziming was still somewhat emotional.
This world.
It’s becoming more and more fantastical.
Now even transformation spells have appeared.
“So, we’ll observe the vicinity first, and I have a way to detect the location of the Sealed Land.”
“After confirming the location, we will directly rush into the Sealed Land.”
“This will inevitably attract the attacks from the Wu’an Bureau and Martial Arts
Association Members. Can you…handle it?”
“It’s a small matter.”
Chen Sheng readily accepted Shen Ziming’s suggestion.
This was also his original plan.
If he and Shen Ziming appear with their real identities, their actions may be limited.
Rather, it’s better to conceal their identities.
When working…it’s also more convenient.
Rumble—
The two got closer and closer to the location of the lake.
The roaring sound above the lake grew louder and louder.
Chen Sheng looked up.
He saw the dark clouds that covered the sky and the thunder snakes that leaped through the clouds from time to time.
This strange phenomenon … was much more terrifying than the one at the bottom of the waterfall in Zhou Family Village.
“Sealed Lands also vary in size.”
“To my knowledge, some Sealed Lands even have various means set up to prevent intentional damage.”
“But the leak of a strange phenomenon from the Sealed Land has nothing to do with its size.”
“It’s only related to the size of the crack in the seal.”
Shen Ziming explained.
“But don’t worry.”
“After the exploration of the Sealed Land is completed, a specialist will repair the seal.”
Huh?
Hearing this, Chen Sheng was a bit surprised.
At this time and age, there are actually people able to repair seals?
Perhaps sensing Chen Sheng’s doubts.
Shen Ziming slowly shook his head.
“Don’t look at me, I don’t know the specifics.”
“All I Imow is that ever since the Tide Rising Period began, many Sealed Lands have been damaged, but all have been repaired one by one.”
Chen Sheng nodded.
He did not have much curiosity.
Anyway, to himself, this was not something he needed to know.
With this thought in mind, he continued his journey.
The two became closer and closer to the location of the lake.
Chen Sheng’s steps gradually slowed down.
“Heh
The monkey-faced man, who had fled from the mountain top, sped towards the outer perimeter.
His eyes behind the mask occasionally glanced around.
He felt his heart was beating fast, as if it would burst out of his chest at any moment.
It wasn’t because of fleeing for his life.
It was fear.
The fear of being hunted like a prey by the Holy Sect members at any time, constantly oppressed his heart, making him feel breathless.
“Can’t go on like this.”
The monkey-faced man gritted his teeth, his face ferocious.
If he kept running, there was a high probability that he would run into the Holy Sect members.
If he was lucky, he could encounter a dog-faced man or someone lower, and then he could quickly kill them and escape.
But if he was unlucky and encountered a sheep-faced man or a monkey-faced man of the same rank, once their footsteps caught up to him, others would quickly gather around.
At that time…it would be certain death for him.
Faced with the threat of life and death, his brain operated at an unprecedented speed.
Maybe…he could find a low-ranking member of the Holy Sect, kill them as quickly as possible, and then put on their clothes.
Then, his chances of escape would be greatly increased.
With that thought, the monkey-faced man stopped in his tracks.
He looked around and quickly locked onto an old tree with dense branches and leaves.
Whoosh!
With a push of his foot, the monkey-faced man jumped into the branches and leaves.
He adjusted his breathing and heartbeat, suppressing all the movements of his body to the lowest level.
Next,
He slowly closed his eyes.
His ears twitched from time to time, carefully listening to every sound around him. After a while,
Whoosh—
The subtle sound of branches and leaves shaking entered the monkey-faced man’s ears.
Whoosh!
Through the gap, the monkey-faced man looked in the direction of the sound.
Soon,
He saw a black shadow approach quickly.
Upon closer look, the shadow wore a blank mask.
On the shoulder…there even seemed to be a black cat?
What kind of joke is this?!
The monkey-faced man felt both surprised and humiliated deep down.
After all, he has a monkey-faced mask.
A person at the lowest level of the Holy Sect dared to chase and attack him?
Moreover, bringing a cat to work.
What the hell do you think you are?!
You’re just courting death!
There was a ferocious light in the eyes of the monkey-faced man.
Seeing this Faceless Man getting closer and closer.
Until…he passed under the tree!
“Die! !!!! ”
Bang!
The sharp wind instantly broke through the branches and leaves.
The monkey-faced man’s figure shot out like a cannonball.
His right arm turned into a black thread, carrying a fierce force, smashing directly at the Faceless Man on the ground.
In the next second,
Bang!
Blood splattered all over the sky.
The monkey-faced man could not understand why his end came about until his vision was submerged in complete darkness.
Before losing consciousness,
The last thing he heard was the puzzled voice of the Faceless Man.
“What’s wrong with this idiot?”
