Chapter 75: Chapter 73: The Terrifying Power of the Star Weapon
"This wind!?"
The cold wind was biting.
It’s already early March, and the average temperature in West Mountain Province has exceeded 20 degrees.
But at this moment, everyone seemed to be trapped in an ice cave.
As if they had arrived at the edge of an otherworld.
"Let’s go in." Jiang Ye took the first step forward.
It’s just cold wind, what’s there to be afraid of? On the second layer of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder, he’s even endured Lingchi, and now this is just a bit of wind and frost.
Seeing Jiang Ye enter the gate, the others followed suit one after another.
Once everyone was inside.
"Boom~!"
The market gate slowly closed.
At the entrance, the captain of the Shadow Hunting Squad looked at the dozen or so subordinates and said in a deep voice, "Keep an eye on the situation inside. If there’s any anomaly, assist immediately!"
"Under the premise of sealing off the Shadow Disaster, ensure the safety of each candidate as much as possible!"
"Yes!" more than ten members of the Shadow Hunting Team replied in unison.
...
Jiang Ye stepped into the door.
The market was not dark; on the contrary, it was brightly lit.
While this could create more shadows, at least everything was clear to see, which was beneficial to humans.
Even if human vision is strong, in darkness, it is no match for the Shadow Race.
"What’s that..." Jiang Ye looked up, surprised.
He saw a huge fissure above the market, about fifty meters long, as if the sky had been torn open.
The cold wind was pouring out from that fissure.
"Starry Sky Corridor!" Jiang Ye stared at the fissure.
He could see a colorful passage within it.
Once this Starry Sky Corridor appears, there is no means to seal it off; it can only disappear slowly over time.
The entire market was empty except for the eight candidates.
Half an hour ago, the Shadow Hunting Bureau had already withdrawn all personnel to conduct the assessment.
During this half hour, how many Shadow Race came out from the Starry Sky Corridor? No one knew.
"They’re coming!"
Suddenly, Lin Yushu whispered to remind Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye nodded, he had also heard movement.
"Roar!" "Roar!"
Next moment, a series of hoarse roars emerged from the darkness.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Shadows were rushing towards them from all directions in the market!
From above, these shadows were like surging tides, swiftly converging on Jiang Ye and his group.
Within seconds, they crossed hundreds of meters.
"Shadow Race!"
"Twenty, thirty, forty... fifty Shadow Races!"
Jiang Ye looked far, heart shaking. At least fifty Shadow Races were charging at them, roaring!
"Roar~!"
The roaring from the Shadow Race could disturb one’s mind.
If ordinary people were here with so many of them roaring together, they’d faint immediately.
However, the ones present were top students from various schools and wouldn’t be affected.
"Kill!"
Over there, the white-clad girl with a sword had already led three other girls into battle.
The two boys who arrived later also began slaughtering quickly.
"We’re going in too." Jiang Ye shouted lowly, the number of Shadow Race was limited.
Within five days, one must kill 1000 Shadow Races, so it’s necessary to strive hard.
"Kill!"
Gold light flashed in Jiang Ye’s hand, it was the ’Star Weapon’—a golden dagger lent by Zhang Jianwu.
He lunged forward holding the dagger.
"Height between one and one and a half meters, mostly weaker among the Shadow Race infant bodies."
Jiang Ye was clear-minded, having killed countless of these in the Virtual Starry Sky.
Only those with a height of over two meters are powerhouses within infant bodies.
And reaching three meters is considered a juvenile form.
"Roar!"
A few Shadow Races were roaring towards Jiang Ye.
They flickered between building shadows, and within their senses, Jiang Ye’s life force was the weakest among everyone.
"The weakest can be easily devoured!"
These Shadow Races had their own way of communicating.
"Roar!!"
Next moment, these Shadow Races lunged, headed for Jiang Ye.
Almost instantly, three Shadow Races merged into the shadow behind Jiang Ye and attacked him.
"Swish~!"
A trail of golden light flickered.
In the darkness, it was astonishing.
Jiang Ye swung the dagger!
"Boom!"
The golden dagger emitted a dazzling blade light, terrifying Star Energy erupted, with a huge sound.
Squelch!
Dark blood splattered, and the three Shadow Races behind Jiang Ye had their throats slit instantly.
"Roar! Roar!"
They roared, fell into a fury, and continued to rush at Jiang Ye.
"Truly troublesome." Jiang Ye’s face was cold.
Shadow Race gives fierce life force.
Even with slit throats, they can continue fighting for a time.
If humans, they’d have lost all combat power long ago.
"Kill!"
Jiang Ye took big strides, attacking as a defense.
From within the Guanyuan Acupoint, strands of faint silver Star Energy surged out, merging with the golden dagger.
He swung the dagger continuously, golden blade light shone, piercing towards the three Shadow Races.
"Squelch!"
"Squelch! Squelch!"
In a blink, Jiang Ye stabbed over ten times, each stab! splattering countless dark blood.
He charged forward more than ten meters, thoroughly blasting the three Shadow Races apart.
[Trigger New Achievement: Slay Demon Path Member!]
A system alert flashed before Jiang Ye.
But he didn’t have time to check, holding the golden dagger, body turned into a shadow, plunging into the mob of Shadow Race.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Traces of golden arcs shone, as Jiang Ye fought continuously against the Shadow Race.
"My Star Energy." Jiang Ye was delighted in his heart: "With the Star Weapon, the unleashed power is truly formidable!"
If only using fists.
Though he could also kill these infant forms.
But definitely wouldn’t be able to accomplish it so quickly.
Need to know, the life force of Shadow Race is immensely vigorous, extremely difficult.
Usually, he’d need several minutes to ten minutes to eliminate a Shadow Race.
And now? In merely two to three minutes, he could harvest the lives of several Shadow Races.
Jiang Ye’s wristband also constantly recorded his kill count.
Kill 5 heads.
Kill 6 heads.
Kill 7 heads...
Not far away, the girl with the white sword sensed the huge fluctuation unleashed by Jiang Ye.
She glanced over, instantly shocked: "Star Weapon? How could this hillbilly possess such a weapon?"
Star Weapons known are extremely expensive, something even she doesn’t possess.
The other four girls behind her were equally envious.
The supposed hillbilly, how could he own such an expensive item?
Meanwhile, Lin Yushu was equally astounded: "Was it Director Zhang’s weapon? Lent to Brother Jiang?"
Jealousy, envy!
He, the strongest high schooler in An City, doesn’t have such a powerful weapon by his side.
...
On site, fierce battle sounds continued erupting.
Those who arrived here were top-tier students from various schools, all with strong capabilities.
Half an hour later.
Over fifty Shadow Races were finally slaughtered.
"Squelch!"
A golden light pierced through a Shadow Race’s head, and it fell powerlessly to the ground.
Blood splattered.
"First wave of attack, over?" Jiang Ye opened his wristband, eagerly checking his record.
