Chapter 4755: Shadow Against Shadow

fact that among his nine great celestial realms, there was still a ghostly celestial realm!During this seclusion, as he cultivated the spirit of the Wood Dao, the ghostly energy within the white flow...As the sound echoed, a figure slowly materialized behind the black blade.

Although the figure was blurry, like a shadow, it was impossible to make out its features. It was unclear whether the person was male or female.

However, upon seeing this figure, the twenty-nine cultivators of the Bitter Domain, led by Tai Shi Yao, as well as Jiang Shan, Nan Feng Chen, who had been silently observing the fight between Mu Tong and Jiang Yun with their divine sense, all recognized him.

Besides these people, even Jiang Yun's blood felt abnormal, all staring at this figure, his brows furrowed even tighter.

This figure is the Dark Heaven of the Bitter Domain, the Shadow!

The shepherd suddenly spoke, "An Tian, what are you doing here Sneaking around behind me like that!"

An Tian glanced at the shepherd boy and said lightly, "Whatever you do here, I'll do too!"

All cultivators of the Bitter Realm naturally knew about the Dark Heaven, but none had ever imagined that the Dark Heaven would, like a shepherd boy, come to save Taishi Yao.

Especially Nan Fengchen, he even muttered to himself: "People from the Dark Shadow Pavilion never have, and are not allowed to have feelings."

"And the Shadow Pavilion has no dealings whatsoever with any other power in the Netherworld."

"On this dark night, it is truly unwise to come and make enemies of the celestial domains for the sake of saving Taishi Yao!"

"This matter is rather strange!"

It has to be said, Nan Fengchen's senses are extremely acute.

The reason An Tian hid behind the shepherd and appeared here was naturally because the Dark Shadow Pavilion in Kuyu had taken on the task of Taishi Changli!

To be honest, even An Tian himself was surprised when he received the message from the Shadow Pavilion. He didn't expect the Shadow Pavilion to reach into the Gathering Domain and want to take a Gathering Domain cultivator back.

However, he naturally wouldn't ask for the reason.

As a killer raised by the Shadow Guild, he unconditionally obeyed the orders of the Shadow Guild.

Before today, he had actually been to the Heavenly Seal Realm several times. He had seen the tragic state of people like Tai Shi Yao and even witnessed the battles between Jiang Yun and the cultivators from the Bitter Domain. This gave him a general understanding of the strength of Jiang Yun and the others.

If it was only about Jiang Yun, An Tian had confidence in resolving it. But he also knew very well that once he made a move against Jiang Yun, Ji Kongfan and Xuen Yuanxing would definitely retaliate.

Under a one-on-three situation, he wasn't confident.

Therefore, when he saw that Ginger Yuan and Ginger Kai had actually brought a shepherd boy here, he decided to use the shepherd boy as cover and hide by his side, looking for an opportunity to attack Ginger Yun.

The fight between the Shepherd and Jiangyun was always in their favor. There were several good opportunities, but An Tian didn't make a move until he saw Jiangyun forcefully dodge the two Time Rivers. He immediately realized this was his best chance to strike and decisively made his move.

But at the critical moment, Ginger Cloud actually sensed something was amiss and dodged the blow that should have struck him!

Jiang Yun was also watching An Tian, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear in his heart.

The reason why Jiang Yun could sense the attack of An Tian was naturally because Jiang Yun also mastered dark power, but he wasn't as proficient as An Tian, so he failed to sense it in advance.

Besides, the knife in An Tian's hand and An Tian's own strength are also extremely powerful.

Jiang Yun's physical body had already been cultivated to the third realm, but his throat was still easily cut by that knife, leaving a bloodstain.

If he hadn't had the protection of dark energy, if his physical body were a little more fragile, then that strike from the Dark Heaven just now would have probably cut straight through his throat.

Today, in just a short span of time, Jiang Yun experienced two life-and-death crises one after another. This made him have a new understanding of the strength of the cultivators in the suffering realm.

Just as Ginger Mountain told him, in the realm of hardship, geniuses are everywhere!

Just as Gingercloud watched the darkness, its figure suddenly vanished silently once more.

And with a flick of her wrist, Jiang Yun's palm emitted a brilliant light that surged into the sky, illuminating everything within ten thousand zhang around her.

The best way to deal with the dark forces is, of course, with light.

However, this method can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

Unless Jiang Yun can guarantee from now on that his body will always remain in the light, then the Dark Heaven could appear at any time.

Moreover, the existence of the Dark Heaven also poses a great threat to all celestial domains.

Except for Jiang Yun, Ji Kongfan, and Xuanyuan Xing, I'm afraid no one else in the entire celestial realm could withstand a single strike from An Tian.

Therefore, Jiang Yun turned his gaze, searching for the whereabouts of An Tian.

And after a moment, Jiang Yun suddenly retracted the light around him, letting the rift return to its pitch-black state.

Nan Fengchen shook his head and said, "It seems he wants to deliberately lure out An Tian."

"But when the darkness is brought forth, I fear it will be your last."

Suddenly, the shepherd coldly spoke: "Dark Heaven, they are my prey!"

If you dare to steal my prey, I won't mind turning you into one myself!

As he spoke, the shepherd pointed into the air. The two temporal rivers once again soared into the sky, heading towards Jiang Yun and Ji Kongfan respectively.

To this point, the excitement on Tai Shi Yao and the others' faces grew increasingly evident.

One shepherd was already more than a match for the three Ginger Clouds, now with the addition of a hidden Dark Heaven from the shadows, there's no chance Ginger Cloud could survive.

This gave them hope at last!

Facing the river of time that appeared before him, Jiang Yun had to use the skill "Dingcanghai" for the third time to stop the flow.

At the same time, a severed sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed fiercely toward the River of Time.

As the blade fell, this river of time vanished once more.

And just as Jiang Yun's blade came down, behind him, Dark Heaven's black blade appeared again out of nowhere, silently slashing towards his throat.

This time, Jiang Yun seemed to be completely unaware of An Tian's attack, so even Xuen Yuan Xing couldn't help but speak up: "Be careful!"

"Bang!"

As soon as Xuanyuan's voice faded, a muffled thud suddenly echoed through the air.

Just seeing the blade of Dark Sky, it still wasn't able to reach Ginger Cloud's throat.

Even, in the darkness, An Mian's form not only appeared but also slightly arched its back and retreated violently backward.

This sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise. No one knew what had happened that caused An Tian's sure-to-be fatal strike to miss again.

Only a few people, such as Nanfeng Chen, seemed to notice that in front of the retreating figure against the dark sky, there appeared to be another, equally blurry shadow.

Finally, when the shadowy figure of An Tian stopped, the shadow in front of him also revealed itself.

Looking closely at the shape of this shadow, everyone's faces changed again.

Because, this shadow, is also Ginger Cloud.

However, they soon discovered that the shadow's appearance, while very similar to Jiang Yun's, was younger than him. There was no expression on his face as he coldly stared at An Tian, and his figure directly disappeared from where he stood.

Those familiar with Jiang Yun immediately understood upon seeing the shadow. This was not Jiang Yun, but Jiang Yun's shadow, Jiang Ying!

That shadow that was once turned into a monster by Jiang Yun!

Before, Ginger Cloud suddenly retracted the light around him because he heard Ginger Shadow's voice.

Jiang Ying volunteered to confront An Tian!

At first, Ginger Cloud was still a little worried, fearing that Ginger Shadow wouldn't be a match for Dark Heaven. But since Ginger Shadow insisted time and again, Ginger Cloud finally agreed to his plan.

At this moment, Jiang Ying and An Tian's figures were completely hidden in the darkness, invisible to anyone. All that could be heard was the sound of collisions, ringing out continuously.

An Tian mastered the power of darkness, but Jiang Ying was a shadow himself, embodying darkness. Their confrontation was a clash of equals.

Jiang Yun's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed a little.

Jiang Ying, as a shadow demon, relies on devouring to cultivate, resulting in a cultivation speed that is much faster than Jiang Yun.

In addition, he had always cultivated within a dream realm ten times the speed of normal flow. As a result, he now possessed strength on par with Jiang Yun, even managing to fight Dark Heaven to a standstill.

After making sure that Ginger Shadow was temporarily safe, Ginger Cloud's gaze shifted back to the shepherd boy.

Compared to the Dark Heavens, the Shepherd is what gives me a real headache!

But just then, a voice drifted over: "It's quite lively here!"ed off this mountain valley, they had actually blocked her from leaving as well.From this, it's not hard to see that despite Shan Xiong's seemingly carefree demeanor, he is also a cunning and thoughtf...
