Chapter 1939: Chapter 1939

Du You spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion slightly dim. "Another injury on top of injury, but fortunately, it’s still within control." The power carried by the shadow’s attack was unusually sharp and bizarre.

Luckily, his own strength could still hold off the attack. As long as he spends some time dispersing it afterward, he’ll be fine.

Of course, to fully recover from the injuries, it might take a much longer time. Shadow was also quite famous in the nearby void, a ninth-tier assassin, and there were not a few ninth-tiers who had died at his hands, though most resurrected.

However, this assassination ability made Shadow’s reputation significant, and he had not expected this time to be the target. If not for Du You’s strong defense and the fact that the enemy had underestimated him, it could have been really dangerous this time.

In an open place, if he was ambushed by the enemy, even though Du You was confident he wouldn’t die, he would still be seriously injured. At some point, this guy also reached the late ninth tier.

After all, Shadow had not acted for a long time, disdaining ordinary targets, and few could afford the high price to have him act. If it weren’t to deal with Du You, those people definitely wouldn’t have been willing to. Shadow was their trump card, their real purpose outside was just to block others.

At the same time, they wanted to use the battle to attract Du You’s attention, creating opportunities for Shadow’s ambush.

As long as Du You died, his pets and absolute followers would certainly not survive.

They only thought of the beginning and not the end, much less that Du You would deliberately wait for them, setting up a trap, and recovering his Summoned Beast. Had they known this, they wouldn’t have attacked Du You.

Feeling something amiss now, they could only forge ahead into darkness. Du You already had an excuse, and if they couldn’t kill him here, they would only have to escape, and Du You wouldn’t spare their world.

At this moment, Xiaozi erupted with a strong electric current once again. The heavily injured Shadow, facing such a costless attack, finally couldn’t hold on. Xiaozi, expending nearly all of its power in one go, killed Shadow thoroughly.

"Turns out it’s really a special creature." Du You discovered that after Shadow died, the body left behind was actually some water-like substance, resembling a large piece of rubber.

"I used to hear that this guy used his own heart to craft his origin weapon. Now it seems that’s just a rumor. This guy’s body structure clearly lacks something like a heart."

Du You stored away this strange corpse, then extracted the dagger to keep as well.

Du You, who was not lightly injured, coupled with previous injuries, was not in a condition to go out and help. Xiaozi remained at Du You’s side, and after replenishing its power, stayed to guard him without leaving. Who knew if the enemy had other methods?

In the distance, Venerable Ming was hurrying over. Earlier, when he and Starbreaker were searching in this direction, they suddenly sensed the aura of battle, judging from the aura that it was the explosive power of the two sisters.

Though these two had little contact with others, everyone was not a stranger to their unique aura of power. After all, they were two formidable ninth-tier powerhouses, a rarity in Earth’s peak powers.

Even as absolute followers, no one dared to underestimate these two. Other ninth-tiers were very mindful of them.

"Hurry, speed up, don’t waste time." They placed great value on Du You and absolutely didn’t want anything to happen to him. If something did happen to Du You, things would really get troublesome next.

But when the two arrived, they found the battlefield had already been controlled.

The two sisters and the bubble were holding four late-stage ninth-tiers at bay, locked in a stalemate. The other ninth-tiers had already suffered heavy casualties. Previously entangled by the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves, now combined with Du You’s many Summoned Beasts, they truly couldn’t withstand it.

"You two are even later." Du You rolled his eyes upon seeing them.

"Thank you for your assistance, can you help to take care of them now? These people actively attacked me, they must be enemies of our Earth," Du You said.

"That’s right, they’re enemies. Their world can also be integrated into our Earth," Venerable Ming confirmed. Follow current novᴇls on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁

Du You smiled slightly, "I don’t have much strength right now. As for their world, I’ll keep two, the rest are yours."

"That’s too much." Venerable Ming shook his head. Almost every ninth-tier powerhouse here had a ninth-tier world behind them. Especially behind a few ninth-tier apex, their worlds were even stronger.

Only Shadow was a mystery, his origin was unknown, he had always been a wanderer, living in others’ worlds or in the void.

"No need, two are enough." Seeing Du You insist, Venerable Ming nodded slightly.

This was good too, it could enhance others’ underlying strength, which was a beneficial thing.

"Alright then, we’ll take those worlds, but the origin gained after the world’s conquest, we’ll leave all to you." Venerable Ming offered, acknowledging they hadn’t helped much this time.

Du You laughed, "Then I won’t stand on ceremony." Venerable Ming indeed had a good attitude. Facing such treasures and opportunities, he was still able to completely let go; this was the first fairly deep engagement between Du You and Venerable Ming.

Afterward, Venerable Ming and Starbreaker both made their moves. This was not within a world, but in the void.

Here, no matter who fights, no treasure chests will be born, so there’s no worry about too many people joining the battle. Furthermore, at the ninth-tier level, there aren’t many treasure chests that could be of significant use.

Perhaps only in a tenth-tier world like Earth, directly hunting another’s ninth-tier powerhouse might yield valuable treasure chests. But in such a world, Du You dared not venture in.

With the addition of two reinforcements, the battle concluded even faster.

Du You observed from the side, Venerable Ming’s fighting style was very calm, but also incredibly dangerous.

Regarding the use of death forces, Du You hadn’t seen anyone comparable. Every time the death force gathered to attack, those not strong enough would likely die on the spot. Even if they could withstand it, it wouldn’t be pleasant.

Those fighting Venerable Ming would only grow heavier with death aura, growing weaker themselves. Du You seemed to understand somewhat why Venerable Ming could kill ninth-tier powerhouses long ago; this guy’s skills were genuinely perilous.

At the same level, Venerable Ming was probably among the few who could pose a threat to Du You. Moreover, Du You could see that Venerable Ming was definitely not just newly late-stage ninth-tier, at least level 88 already.
