Chapter 9160
9160 Chapter 9159-the power of the devil
If he had known this earlier, he wouldn’t have killed the white-haired man so thoroughly just now. At least he would have gotten some information!
Lin Yi’s eyes moved around as he continued to search the floors. He was more and more certain of his guess.
The Hunter camp was preparing to ambush a wave of people, right?
Just as Lin Yi was thinking about the possibility of the Hunter camp hiding in the right room, the fifth floor suddenly changed!
A martial artist opened the black door and a black light flashed inside. Before he could react, he was instantly wrapped in it. After a short one or two seconds, the martial artist was released by the black light again, but there was an additional layer of black liquid on his body.
Lin Yi’s pupils contracted as he focused. The distance between the two sides was a bit far, but there wasn’t anything in the way. Lin Yi’s vision was clear, and he could see a faint black shadow beside the martial artist.
If one didn’t pay attention, one might mistake it for a human shadow. However, the human shadow was on the other side of the ground and had completely different characteristics from the black shadow.
The black shadow seemed to have felt Lin Yi’s gaze-it turned its head a little, as if it was looking at Lin Yi’s eyes. The practitioner did the same, his eyes dull like a puppet without a soul.
Lin Yi’s hair stood on end-other people might think that the practitioner turned his head, and so the shadow turned its head as well. It was a normal phenomenon.
But that wasn’t the case. Lin Yi felt that the martial artist was following the black Shadow’s movements. The black shadow was the master, and the martial artist was the secondary. To be more precise, the martial artist with the black sticky liquid on his body was like a puppet, his movements completely under the control of the black shadow.
Soon, the shadow merged with the one on the ground, and Lin Yi couldn’t see anything strange anymore. The martial artist’s mouth curved into a strange and mechanical smile. His face was obviously stiff, but it was full of ridicule.
Lin Yi felt like he was being watched, but it wasn’t a big deal. He’d been watched the whole time anyway, and one or two more wouldn’t make a difference. If they really were to line up, who was the martial artist or the shadow that hid in the shadows?
The question was, what was that black shadow? Without knowing the other party’s background, if they were to really face each other, they would not know how to deal with it.
That martial artist was obviously controlled by the black shadow. His own strength was not bad. He was an expert in the early stage of heaven breaking. In front of the black shadow, he could not even last two seconds. He silently lost his self-consciousness and became a puppet controlled by the black shadow!
Such an ability was terrifying!
Even Lin Yi couldn’t guarantee that he’d be able to counter it without understanding the theory behind it!
The people on the other floors might’ve seen what happened, but they didn’t see it as clearly as Lin Yi did. They didn’t know how terrifying the shadow was, and they didn’t even know that the martial artist had become a puppet of the shadow.
After being controlled by the black shadow, the martial artist began to move again. He continued to open the door and look for the passage as if what had happened was just an illusion and had never happened.
Lin Yi split some of his attention on the man, not forgetting to observe the others as well. Soon, the man met another man who was running from the other side of the fifth floor, doing the same thing-opening the door, checking, and continuing the search.
When the two sides were about to encounter each other, both sides were very vigilant. They kept a distance from each other and did not get close. Then, they seemed to say something.
Lin Yi received a signal from the star Cloud tower-the martial artist controlled by the black shadow must’ve revealed his identity as a Hunter to gain the other’s trust.
When he self-destructed, his identity and position were transmitted to everyone who was involved!
The warrior opposite him received the message at the same time and immediately relaxed. He was also from the Hunter’s camp. Since the other party was so sincere and did not hesitate to reveal his identity to gain his trust, what reason did he have to guard against the other party?
“Brother, you’re too careless. How could you expose your identity so easily? Now that you’ve become the target of public criticism, take care of yourself. I’ll be leaving first!”
The martial artist, who was relieved, did not answer which side he was on. He turned around and prepared to leave. Such a performance was already enough to show which side he was on.
He didn’t say it out loud because he didn’t want to expose his position.
“Brother, wait a moment, I have something to tell you!”
The martial artist controlled by the black shadow sped up and chased after him. At the same time, he raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.
The other martial artist did not suspect him. He turned around and saw the raised hands. His vigilance dropped to the freezing point, waiting for the other party to come closer and speak.
As a result, when the two of them got close, the black figure hidden in the shadows pounced on them silently. In just over a second, the puppets he controlled became two!
Lin Yi was shocked. This guy wasn’t just strong, he was also very cunning!
Although he didn’t hear what they said, he could guess what he had done from the results and the process.
He would self-destruct his puppet’s identity to gain trust and take the opportunity to get close to the new puppet without shedding a drop of blood!
Lin Yi didn’t know what the limit of the Shadow’s power was, or if he could control more puppets, but if he didn’t do anything, the number of puppets the shadow could control would only increase!
His fake identity and position as the puppet to be hunted had already been exposed. He was like a bright light in the dark, attracting more people in the Hunter camp to form an alliance and protect him. Even if they did not form an alliance, they would definitely let their guard down against him!
There weren’t many people who could tell what was happening other than Lin Yi!
He had to kill this black shadow!
Lin Yi made up his mind and gave up on observing. He turned around and rushed down the stairs. Even if he didn’t know what the black shadow was, he had to fight it now.
It didn’t take long for Lin Yi to get from the ninth floor to the fifth floor. He rushed out of the stairs and ran along the corridor to where the black shadow was. At the same time, many people appeared by the railings of each floor, looking at the black shadow.
It was the best time to observe and confirm the identities of the others when someone revealed their identity. No matter if it was the Hunter camp or the hunted camp, they would not let go of such a rare opportunity.
Lin Yi was as fast as lightning. When he saw the two puppet Warriors, he took out the demonic devour sword and cast a black sword curtain. However, the target was not the two puppet Warriors. All attacks avoided them.
If he hit them, his identity would be exposed as well. He couldn’t do that.
The man in the shadows wasn’t surprised-he’d noticed Lin Yi watching him from the ninth floor when he’d taken control of the first fighter.
They weren’t sure which side Lin Yi was in back then, but now they were!
