Chapter 224: Traitor_2
"No, we still haven't found that guy." Zhu Xinjue said unwillingly.
He had the ability to avoid the flood with his own space system and take everyone with him, but at the moment he was not in the mood to care about others, he just wanted to find Xiang Beifei first.
"Exactly! I must make him pay!"
Hou Chengwu was also looking everywhere for Xiang Beifei. He had to kill Xiang Beifei in the foreign wasteland, only then could he relieve the hatred in his heart.
Whoosh!
The towering flood swept over again, once again submerging everyone; for a moment, Hou Chengwu suddenly couldn't see the shadows of others, as everyone was separated by the flood.
However, just then, Hou Chengwu felt as if something was off, as if something was underfoot behind him.
What he didn't notice was that, as the tide surged up, a figure had stepped on his shadow, watching him coldly!
Hou Chengwu sensed there might be someone behind and immediately turned around.
However, there was only a cliff behind him, with no figure in sight.
——
Whoosh!
Zhu Xinjue burst the flood open with brute force, and the waves fell again. Hou Chengwu could then see the others again.
He turned his head back, thinking he had seen wrong, and didn't pay too much attention to what had just happened.
"No, we still don't know if he is dead or alive. These floods are likely caused by some desolate beast. We aren't clear about Xiang Beifei's situation, and it would be bad if he took the opportunity to strike at us during the flood," Chen Baiwen said.
"Why are you so cowardly? With so many of us against one of him, can't we take him down?" Zhu Xinjue snorted coldly!
However, just as Zhu Xinjue's words fell, a roaring sound suddenly erupted beside him!
Bang!
Zhu Xinjue was immediately struck by a punch from someone beside him, which sent him flying out and crashing into a rock wall.
He was fortunate to be a master of the Meridian Opening phase, with an ice armor that timely protected his head.
Zhu Xinjue turned his head and saw that it was Hou Chengwu who had hit him, and he burst out angrily, "Hou Chengwu, what are you doing!"
Hou Chengwu was also stunned; that punch had indeed been his own doing!
He didn't understand what had happened. He had just been fiercely searching for Xiang Beifei to kill him, but suddenly, for some reason, Xiang Beifei's voice appeared in his mind.
Xiang Beifei had simply said two words: "Do it."
Then he punched Zhu Xinjue.
"I didn't... I..." Hou Chengwu tried to explain urgently.
"Don't talk."
Xiang Beifei's voice again suddenly appeared in Hou Chengwu's mind.
Hou Chengwu immediately shut up!
But Hou Chengwu's face instantly showed a look of shock and anger!
What was going on?
Why had he shut up?
Why was he doing whatever that voice said?
Where did that voice come from?
Was it... Xiang Beifei?
Hou Chengwu looked uncertainly at Zhu Xinjue, wanting to ask him if they too had heard Xiang Beifei's voice and to work together to do something.
But strangely, Zhu Xinjue and the others didn't seem to have heard Xiang Beifei's voice, and were still looking furiously at Hou Chengwu.
"Go."
Xiang Beifei's voice resounded again. Enjoy new stories from empire
Swish!
Before Hou Chengwu could process it, he rapidly dashed out again, and a shadow blade appeared in his hand, flinging it at Chen Baiwen and the others!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The blades thrown by Hou Chengwu were like black shadows in the air, disappearing in a flash, turning into numerous shadow darts, attacking Zhu Xinjue and Chen Baiwen and the others!
"Hou Chengwu! You're actually a traitor!"
Chen Baiwen shouted angrily. He reacted in time and blocked Hou Chengwu's attack!
Zhu Xinjue and Yu Hongbo also dodged the shadow darts, but a student from Yanzhou University's SR wasn't so lucky.
Originally, Zhu Xinjue was standing in front of him, but Zhu Xinjue had no intention of helping him, so the SR had no way to dodge Hou Chengwu's attack and was directly stabbed in the chest. The huge impact slammed his body back, pinning the SR from Yanzhou University to the rock wall!
"Ah!"
The SR let out a painful cry, his chest pierced by Hou Chengwu's shadow blade, the wound turning pitch black as if blending with the power of the shadow, threatening to turn his body into a shadow as well!
This is the strange part of Hou Chengwu's system, he himself is an extremely powerful Awakener. If someone is injured by his shadow people, he can even forcefully transform the person into a shadow state and then devour their cultivation!
"Shen San!"
Yu Hongbo rushed over in shock, a surge of Spiritual Power emerging from his body, and just in time, he stopped the gradually spreading shadow injury! However, the area around the wound had already shadowed, and he feared that healing would require quite an effort.
"Hou Chengwu, how dare you injure my people?" Yu Hongbo shouted angrily!
—What's happening!
A stunned expression appeared in Hou Chengwu's eyes as his mind went blank!
He had not intended to attack this SR at all; he had meant to attack Zhu Xinjue—he didn't even want to attack Zhu Xinjue; he had no idea why he had launched an attack!
He wanted to defend himself, but at this moment, Xiang Beifei's voice rang out again in his mind: "Continue."
Hou Chengwu's hands lifted again!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Shadow blades sped forth, charging towards Zhu Xinjue and Chen Baiwen!
—What the hell!
Hou Chengwu panicked!
He found himself completely unable to control his own body; his mind was full of Xiang Beifei's voices, as if all his actions were being controlled by Xiang Beifei, who needed only to issue a command, and he had to act according to the other's wishes.
How could this be?
Normally, shouldn't this be his ability?
Hou Chengwu's Shadow Saint had a very powerful special ability: if he had bound someone as a shadow servant, and then stepped on the person's shadow, then for a period of time, he would be able to control this shadow servant to do anything.
In his eyes, Xiang Beifei was clearly the shadow servant he had bound!
Meaning, Xiang Beifei was supposed to be the one under his control!
But why... why was it that he was being controlled instead?
Hou Chengwu simply could not understand!
However, he had no time to think, as he was uncontrollably being controlled, continuing to fiercely attack Chen Baiwen and Zhu Xinjue!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The shadow blades targeted Zhu Xinjue and Chen Baiwen, even including Yu Hongbo among them, his aim being the group from Yanzhou University!
Zhu Xinjue kept retreating, seeing Hou Chengwu going mad as if attacking him, and suddenly he too became enraged!
"Hou Chengwu! So you're the traitor! You want to take on us from Yanzhou University? You actually betrayed our agreement!"
Zhu Xinjue shouted angrily, a raging fire burning in his heart!
He had thought that since Hou Chengwu had been kicked into the trash bin by Xiang Beifei that day, he must hate Xiang Beifei deeply, which was why he had approached Hou Chengwu, thinking of relying on Hou Chengwu's ability to take on Xiang Beifei together.
But he had never expected that Hou Chengwu would ambush them at this time!
"Traitors, deserve to die!"
Chen Baiwen also charged furiously towards Hou Chengwu.
—I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!
Hou Chengwu had a bitter agony that he couldn't express; how could he possibly be the mole? He was the one who most wanted to kill Xiang Beifei!
Yet his body honestly met Chen Baiwen's attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Hou Chengwu alone fought against Chen Baiwen and Zhu Xinjue, ferocious Spiritual Power pouring out, colliding violently, generating powerful ripples that swept away, breaking the floodwaters all around.
Splash!
The three exchanged blows and quickly retreated!
Hou Chengwu, singlehandedly fighting against Zhu Xinjue and Chen Baiwen, was surprisingly not at a disadvantage!
Chen Baiwen furiously said, "Hou Chengwu, you won't cooperate with us and even want to take us on, have you forgotten how Xiang Beifei kicked you into a trash bin?"
—Forget? How could I possibly forget! Damn!
Hou Chengwu angrily tried to regain control of his body, wanting to tell them that he didn't do this willingly.
Yet he was horrified to find that his body no longer belonged to him.
It was as if his own shadow control technique had backfired, and he had been controlled!
"Hmph, you from Yanzhou University are the biggest risk, let's deal with you first!"
Suddenly, Hou Chengwu's mouth blurted out such a statement!
After he spoke, even he was stunned!
These weren't his intended words!
