Black Chapter (40) Darkness and Shadow
"Tsk!" Sima Luming, who was enjoying lunch, suddenly rubbed his right ear.
"Something's wrong?" Li Fei asked gloatingly.
"It's a trivial matter, but your swordsman friend is quite interesting, isn't it so funny for a guy with your face?" Sima Luming put down the chopsticks in his hand, stared at Li Fei and asked.
"Zero? Where did you get Zero? Li Fei said nervously.
Sima Luming said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, my captain, I'm not one of those guys who rode with two guns, but the boss specially ordered that Zero can't die, so don't worry about your swordsman friend, it's just that a friend of mine just happened to have something to find him, presumably, the two of them should have a good chat at this time." β
"Zero can't die?" Li Fei has always wondered how the high-level of the "Empire" could issue such an order, Zelo is a guy who troubles the "Empire" when he has nothing to do, not only killed a lot of "Empire" troops, but also seriously injured the "Black Knight" Venlos.
To say that Li Fei is blessed by the "crow", and Sajinkai wants to capture him alive, but what about Zero? Li Fei really couldn't think of a reason for Sajin Kai to capture Zero alive, was it for Zero's sword? But if you kill someone, isn't it easier to take a sword?
"I don't know what happened above, in short, Zero will not die." Sima Luming leaned back to the table and stared at Li Fei deadly, "Instead of caring about Zeluo, you should worry about yourself!" Captain! β
Li Fei said blankly: "Me? β
"That's right! You! Sima Luming retracted his body and pointed at Li Fei with his right index finger, "I heard that the order has been changed from above, and the new order I received is that the 'black crow' must die!" According to the information I have received, Captain, the Empire is very concerned about the magic you have learned! β
"Do you want me dead?" Li Fei smiled disdainfully, "It seems that Lord Sima Luming, as a high-ranking official of the 'empire', specially set up a Hongmen banquet today, and wants to take my head?" β
"Hey! I have kindly prepared a table of good food for you, and I will be sad if you say that! Sima Luming said disappointedly, "However, one thing is true-this city either belongs to 'black crows' or 'tarantulas'!" Between us, only one person can stay! β
"After all, we used to be teammates, and it seems that we still have a bit of a tacit understanding!" Li Fei stood up with a "swish", and swept the dining table aside with a slap of black claws, "Lord Sima Luming, let's do it!" β
Sima Luming sat on the chair, the chopsticks in his right hand still maintaining the posture of holding vegetables, "Li Fei, you are still so impulsive!" Still so annoying! Since you are in such a hurry to be beaten, I will fulfill you! β
With a grip of his right hand, the chopsticks in Sima Luming's hand were broken into two, he sat on the chair, and with a wave of his left hand, more than a dozen gray tentacles burst out from the shadows around him, stabbing at Li Fei, Li Fei spread his wings, flew out of the parking lot upside down, dodged the tentacles, and stood under the scorching sun, "I want to see how your shadow can defeat an X-level 'sober person' in broad daylight." β
Sima Luming was still sitting in the chair, crossing Erlang's legs, and a large number of tentacles writhed beside him, "X-class? What about the X-class? The one left behind will definitely not be you! β
A large number of black tentacles formed by shadows rushed out of the shadows of the parking lot of the building in a swarm, and the tip as sharp as a spear swooped straight towards Li Fei, Li Fei swept up with his right claw burning with black flames, but his claws passed directly through the tentacles and swept into the air, in the final analysis, these tentacles are essentially shadows, how can ethereal shadows be harmed? But these illusory shadows, the moment they came into contact with Li Fei, they had an entity and directly penetrated Li Fei's body.
The body collapsed in the black mist, and the corners of Li Fei's mouth, which was penetrated by the tentacles, rose and disappeared into the air, and the tentacles immediately retracted into the shadows of the parking lot, "It's another old trick, Li Fei, we've been in a squad for so long, I know all about your original routines, if you can't come up with some new tricks, I think you'd better surrender obediently!" Sima Luming sat on the chair and looked at the place where Li Fei had disappeared, but a few tentacles pierced the ground behind him.
The tentacles collided with the black claws, and Li Fei appeared behind Sima Luming, the black claws pointed directly at the back of Sima Luming's neck, but under the obstruction of the gray tentacles, his claws could not approach Sima Luming by half a step.
The tentacles that were frozen together with the claws slowly stretched out, turning into a pool of gray shadows, and climbed up the back of Li Fei's hand, Li Fei quickly withdrew his hand, but the shadow stuck to Li Fei's hand like glue, without the slightest intention of detaching, and there was a tendency to spread to Li Fei's body in a big way.
The figure disappeared, and since he couldn't break free from the shadow manipulated by Sima Luming, Li Fei simply blended into the shadow, like an invisible ghost, approaching Sima Luming and sticking his claws to Sima Luming's throat.
The cold claws had already touched Sima Luming's skin, but Li Fei, who thought that his killing intent had been decided, hesitated, he knew that now as long as he used his strength, he could silently pierce Sima Luming's throat in the shadow, but his claws couldn't be used at all.
"After going through so many things, I thought you would grow, but I didn't expect that your heart is still too soft!" Sima Luming sneered coldly, and several tentacles stuck to his body, like a big hand, forcefully pulling Li Fei out of the shadow on Sima Luming's body and throwing it aside.
Li Fei, who was thrown out, slammed into a cement pillar in the parking lot, and was about to knock out cracks in the cement pillar, but Li Fei quickly stood up, although the force of the impact was very violent, but for the body of the X-class "sober person" that he had transformed through the power of the "egg", it could not cause much damage, at best, his head was dizzy for a few seconds.
"I may be ruthless, but that means I'm still human! Unlike you, degenerated into a beast! Li Fei roared angrily and spread his wings, like a hungry bird of prey, pounced on Sima Luming.
"It's ridiculous to distinguish between humans and beasts on the battlefield!" Sima Luming sat on the chair and watched Li Fei face the top of his head, a group of tentacles sprang out from behind him, directly wrapped around Li Fei, restrained Li Fei's movements, and smashed Li Fei to the ground hard.
Once or twice, after smashing several times, a depression appeared in the ground, and Li Fei's body collapsed. Sima Luming said disdainfully: "It's 'shadow escape' again? Li Fei's trick is really suitable for you, every time you encounter something, your first reaction is to dodge! When will you be able to stand up and face it with your chest up? Coward! β
"Even if I'm timid! Who are you to say irresponsible to me? Li Fei appeared outside the parking lot, holding a black light gun in his right hand, an adult-sized, golden-red fire crow fluttering its wings and levitating on the left side of his body, "Seeing that the situation is unfavorable, hiding under the protection of the 'Empire', you are not a coward?" Obsidian! Raven Flying Star! β
The pitch-black light gun and the golden-red fire crow flew out at the same time and rushed towards the parking lot where Sima Luming was, but as soon as they entered the parking lot, the shadow formed a bottomless pit in front of the light gun and the fire crow, and as soon as the light gun and the fire crow entered the hole, the bottomless pit disappeared with them.
"Those who know the times are Junjie! Not like you! Timid, stubborn! Sima Luming sat on the chair, stretched out his right index finger, and raised it upward, "Your things, give them back to you!" Frankly, I've been disappointed by your performance so far! β
As soon as he saw the bottomless pit formed by the shadows, Li Fei immediately thought of the situation when Sima Luming saved the "Halloween" team that day, and he guessed that this hole was probably something similar to a portal or a passage, which could allow things that entered it to escape from another place.
"Disappointed? I'll show you, what a disappointment! Li Fei suddenly rolled forward, and in his original position, the hole formed by the shadow opened, and the light gun and the fire crow flew out of the hole, almost sticking to Li Fei, and flew into the sky.
"The reaction was pretty fast." Sima Luming praised insincerely.
Li Fei said disapprerovingly: "It's your flaws that are too obvious!" Don't forget, I used to be your captain, and if you know me, I know you too! Your ability is 'shadow', and your every move and style you can't do without shadows! Mine is also included! 'Tarantula', have you forgotten how I taught you a lesson back then? β
"Of course I do! I will never forget it for the rest of my life! Shame you brought me back then! Sima Luming's eyes were red, and he pinched the armrests of the metal seat into a snake shape with both hands, "I want to give them back to you a hundred times!" β
Dozens of gray tentacles rushed out of the parking lot, exposed to the sun, but these tentacles that had escaped from the shadows did not dissipate, but bit Li Fei like snakes.
The tentacles were able to continue to act without breaking away from the shadows, which was indeed beyond Li Fei's expectations, but Li Fei was already ready to attack, and a few more tentacles had little impact. Black flames burst out from his body, and Li Fei turned into a giant crow in the flames, hissed, and rushed to the parking lot with a beautiful tail flame. The speed and strength of the black fire raven were astonishing, leaving a furrow burning with black flames along the way, and all the tentacles were smashed apart, and the fire raven rushed into the parking lot with unstoppable momentum.
The high temperature on the fire crow's body was sticking to his face, but Sima Luming was still sitting firmly in the chair.
"Boom!" Black flames erupted from all directions of the parking lot, and the cement pillars of the parking lot shattered into powder under the double devastation of the explosion and flames. Losing the pillar at the bottom, the building above the parking lot was crushed in its entirety.
The dust swept over most of the block, and the building instantly became an ugly rubble, in the middle of this pile of rubble, Sima Luming sat on a chair, stretched out his right hand, in front of him, a huge black claw was conjured, and Li Fei, whose wings were burning black flames, maintained a flying posture, and his right claw was rigidly inserted into the palm of the giant claw that Sima Luming conjured. As soon as the falling stones approached them, they disappeared into a stream of black energy, which also caused a small blank space in the center of the rubble.
"Li Fei! If you had used the power to blow up Area 51, I would have suffered a lot of damage, but you didn't! Sima Luming roared, his right hand clenched hard, and the giant claws that he conjured up also closed, "You are soft again!" At the last minute! Your strength is significantly weaker! When will you understand that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself! β
"I don't understand! I don't want to understand! The giant claw closed, and Li Fei's claw swept hard, smashing the giant claw that Sima Luming had conjured up, and the broken giant claw did not disappear, turning into wisps of black energy, which drilled into Li Fei's palm, "Maybe, you can do it, but I can't!" You can call me cowardly! But isn't the biggest difference between humans and beasts the cowardice called 'mercy'? β
"Li Fei, you are innocent like a kindergarten child!" Sima Luming waved his right hand, and the four giant claws were pulled up from the rubble and grabbed at Li Fei, "I have always emphasized that this is the battlefield!" You just don't get it! The battlefield is a place where the jungle eats the strong! Want to be a man on the battlefield? Hum! The first to be torn apart by a beast like us is a naΓ―ve man like you! β
The four giant claws pressed down, Li Fei raised his claws high, and became the attack of Sima Luming's giant claws, the gray giant claws slowly became illusory, and wisps of black energy on the giant claws drilled into Li Fei's claws, "I think it's the beast that occupies your heart, as your former captain, I want to educate you well!" Let's start by knocking you off the chair! β
The four giant claws disappeared completely, Sima Luming's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the seat twice, and a large number of gray tentacles drilled out of the rubble, "Educate me?" With your X-level strength, are you qualified? β
"Enough for you!" Li Fei's claws with a black aura spread to both sides, a faint black energy spread, all the tentacles were still, and the color deepened to black, Li Fei withdrew his left hand, and pointed at Sima Luming with his right hand, and the tentacles stabbed at their summoner, "'Tarantula', remember!" Shadows are a derivative of darkness! My power is darkness, and naturally includes shadows! β
The tentacles fought back to him, but Sima Luming was not the least surprised, as if he had already expected this result, he stretched out his right hand, and once again conjured up a giant claw, blocking in front of him, the black tentacles pierced the giant claws, like parasites burrowing into the giant claws, the giant claws pulled all the tentacles into two, collapsed into a little black light point, and disappeared into the air.
"I remember! And remember it very well! I said that I would pay back the shame you brought to me a hundredfold! I, Sima Luming, do what I say! The whites of Sima Luming's left eyes grew red bloodshot like spider webs, and the shadow under Li Fei's feet rushed out of the ground, opened his bloody mouth, and swallowed Li Fei into it.
The pain of suffocation soon appeared, and the shadow blocked Li Fei's mouth and nose, as if he was wrapped in a ball of jelly, and the four of them could not move.
Sima Luming sat on the chair, admiring Li Fei who was constantly writhing in the shadows, watching Li Fei's face gradually turn pale, Sima Luming showed a crazy smile on his face, "Hahaha! Dare you teach me a lesson? Li Fei! Is it uncomfortable? Is it painful? It's a pleasure to watch you die slowly! It's a pity that you have to lift a table of wine and food, otherwise, I would have been able to enjoy it while drinking! β
