284: Chapter 284 This God Emperor has no choice but to reluctantly give you ten, red bean paste!

Outside the car window stood a man whose face was covered in centipede-like scars. Four tadpole-shaped light spots rotated between his brows. He wore a moon-white robe with the large characters for [Shadowless] written in wild cursive using blood on the back!

The man with the centipede-scarred face had a hideous expression. The corners of his mouth curled into a playful arc as he stared straight at Jiang Lan like he was looking at prey. He stuck out a crimson tongue, licked his lips, and swallowed hard!

The newcomer was none other than the fourth member of the [Twelve Espionage Guards], [Shadowless]!

In Jiang Lan's memories of his past life, Shadowless, the fourth of the [Twelve Espionage Guards], was incredibly fast. His opponents' retinas usually couldn't even capture his afterimages before they were killed, hence the name [Shadowless]—Shadowless!

In Jiang Lan's past life memories, when the [qixian continent] truly descended three years later, [Shadowless] became famous in a single battle by killing dozens of [Golden Core Realm] experts in Zhongzhou!

Later, [Shadowless] was taken as a Personal Disciple by an Old Ancestor of a Hidden Clan from the [Star Continent], and he vanished from the world after that!

"Giggle..."

"Kid, your silence means consent, doesn't it?"

"Fine then. Since you killed Number Five, then give me your life!"

"You dare to shout and bluster in front of the future God Emperor? You have already found a path to de— Holy shit, where is he!?"

[Shadowless] vanished into thin air from Jiang Lan's field of vision instantly. Jiang Lan's back went cold, and cold sweat broke out across his spine!

Jiang Lan felt as if he were being hoisted up by a barbed ghost hand choking his neck. Feelings of suffocation, impending death, and despair played out in his heart one after another!

"Time, Stop for This Divine Emperor!"

The flag flapping at the front of the [phantom sr], the fallen leaves spinning in the air, and the tree branches swaying in the gale all came to an eerie halt!

[Shadowless]'s bizarre laughter, the roar of the [phantom sr]'s engine, and the sound of the wind hitting the car windows stopped abruptly!

The entire world came to a sudden standstill in an extremely strange state!

Click!

Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, Jiang Lan pushed open the door of the [phantom sr] and stepped out!

"Holy shit!? Where did that old geezer [Shadowless] go?"

Jiang Lan took a sharp breath and circled the [phantom sr], but he couldn't see [Shadowless]'s figure anywhere!

"[Shadowless], you old geezer, you like hiding, don't you?"

"No matter. This Divine Emperor will dig you out right now!"

"[Yin-Yang Celestial Master] ability, activate for This Divine Emperor!"

Before Jiang Lan's eyes, a Taiji pattern spun rapidly, emitting an immortal white halo. It turned into a streak of immortal white light and slammed fiercely into the space between Jiang Lan's brows!

A warmth like a furnace instantly flowed like water into Jiang Lan's forehead, quickly spreading throughout his entire body, rushing from his tailbone straight to the crown of his head!

Five tadpole-shaped immortal white light spots suddenly ignited between Jiang Lan's brows, slowly circulating!

Behind his sharp jet-black suit, a large Taiji Bagua Diagram spun quietly!

Jiang Lan had activated the [Yin-Yang Celestial Master] state! His Divine Sense spread out instantly, and every image within a five-kilometer radius was taken in at a glance!

"Holy shit!? You old geezer, what are you doing crawling under my car?"

There was a resonance between the [Twelve Espionage Guards]. Once Jiang Lan activated his [Yin-Yang Celestial Master] state, he immediately sensed [Shadowless]'s position right under the [phantom sr]!

Jiang Lan lifted the [phantom sr] and took a peek, instantly drawing a sharp breath!

He saw [Shadowless] clinging to the undercarriage like a gecko. His face was distorted, his mouth curled in a hideous arc, and his arms were covered in protruding earthworm-like veins. His iron fist had already been thrown toward the driver's seat!

It could be said that if Jiang Lan had been one second later in activating [Time Stop], he would have been dead!

"[Shadowless], This Divine Emperor has found you. Get the hell down here!"

"Get down here!?"

"Holy shit! Why are you holding on so tight?"

Jiang Lan's arm muscles surged with power. His iron fist tore through the air, creating wisps of white smoke from friction as it smashed ruthlessly into the joints of [Shadowless]'s four limbs!

Crack! Crack!...

Accompanied by the crisp sound of shattering bones, [Shadowless]'s limbs were smashed to pieces by Jiang Lan's iron fist!

"Whew, I finally dragged this old geezer [Shadowless] down!"

"You dared to assassinate This Divine Emperor; you have already found your path to death!"

"Die for This Divine Emperor!"

Jiang Lan's three thousand strands of black hair fluttered in the wind. The power of the [Yin-Yang Celestial Master] ability within him surged. Veins like earthworms popped out on his arm as he threw a punch that formed a hundred-foot-wide Taiji diagram, smashing it ruthlessly onto [Shadowless]'s head!

Bang!

The sound of bones shattering mixed with the sound of a watermelon being smashed rang out, making one's hair stand on end and scalp go numb!

[Shadowless]'s head was smashed to pieces by Jiang Lan's punch!

Warm blood mixed with minced meat splashed out instantly!

A metallic, rusty scent of blood rose into the sky, instantly permeating the highway!

Jiang Lan wiped his blood-and-meat-stained knuckles twice on [Shadowless]'s white robe, then gave him a hard kick, sending the body flying against a nearby tree!

Jiang Lan deactivated the [Yin-Yang Celestial Master] state. With his hands in his pockets and walking with an arrogant, overbearing gait, he pulled open the door of the [phantom sr] with a "Click!" and stepped inside!

Jiang Lan's fair finger traced an elegant curve in the air. His thumb and middle finger suddenly rubbed together, letting out a crisp snap!

The [phantom sr]'s engine roared back to life, instantly smashing the spinning leaves in the air to dust!

The trees by the roadside that were being blown by the wind began to sway again!

The entire world suddenly resumed its normal operation!

Suddenly!

The rear wheels of the [phantom sr] suddenly locked up!

Screech—!

The wheels plowed a charred rut into the ground, executing a beautiful tail-flick that kicked up a cloud of dust. Under the force of inertia, the car body shook twice before coming to a complete stop!

Click!

Jiang Lan pushed open the door of the [phantom sr], hands in his pockets, and walked toward [Shadowless]'s corpse with that same arrogant gait!

Abruptly!

A fist-sized ball of immortal white mist, wrapping a bizarre, rotating black afterimage pattern, flew out of [Shadowless]'s corpse and slammed hard into Jiang Lan's head!

"Giggle... as expected! It's just as This Divine Emperor guessed!"

Jiang Lan's eyes bulged with wild joy. The corners of his mouth curled upward, revealing a row of snowy white teeth!

Before Jiang Lan's eyes, to the right of the Time Stop countdown, a black afterimage pattern was quietly rotating!

Yes! Once an ability awakens, it can only be transferred, not destroyed!

When an Ability User is killed, their ability is acquired by the person who killed them!

Jiang Lan licked his lips, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed. With a hideous grin, he turned to look in the direction where the other ten members of the [Twelve Espionage Guards] were approaching!

"Since the ten of you are seeking death, then This Divine Emperor has no choice but to reluctantly turn you all into bean paste!"

"Your abilities rightfully belong to This Divine Emperor!"

"Giggle..."

"Huh? Holy shit!? How is there only 6 minutes left of [Time Stop]!?"

"That's not right! I didn't waste any time just now!"
