286: Chapter 004 VS 011

This is what Baili Ziyuan was currently hesitant about. If what the other party said was true, then this Sequencer was definitely a colossal figure.

Moreover, the oppressive feeling the smiling mask person gave him was too strong; he had suffered soul suppression just for thinking of revealing a little information about him to outsiders.

Then, if they were to confront each other head-on, he probably wouldn't even have the qualification to make a move.

But if he didn't give it, what reason did he have? Would directly refusing cause this Sequencer to become suspicious or target him?

For a moment, Baili Ziyuan truly didn't know how to choose. He looked at Shadow in front of him for a long time before slowly speaking.

"I want to know more information. Only then can I believe you!"

Shadow thought for a moment and wasn't surprised. Immediately, he no longer hid, and an inexplicable Aura was revealed.

Baili Ziyuan's heart sank immediately, because this Aura was resonating with him, meaning the other party was truly someone on the same path as him.

"Your identity can be confirmed now, but I won't tell you the information about other Sequencers."

"Why?"

"Because each Sequencer has their own secrets and goals. I won't expose them to you, nor will I expose you to them."

"However, if you encounter each other in the future, just like now, you will have a sense of each other."

Shadow smiled slightly, "Of course, the premise is that they haven't hidden this Aura."

At their level, hiding their Aura was incredibly simple. Unless they were fighting with all their strength, ordinary people would definitely not be able to detect it.

"Since that's the case, why do you need my soul power?"

Baili Ziyuan had a wary expression, "According to what you said, shouldn't each Sequencer be allowed to act freely?"

"It seems you haven't understood my meaning. I'm not trying to restrict your freedom, but to find you when needed. After all, the Master sometimes has tasks."

Shadow wasn't annoyed and still calmly explained to him, "I am equivalent to the Master's eyes and mouth, responsible for investigating some situations and conveying some matters."

Baili Ziyuan nodded slightly, gaining some understanding of the person in front of him.

"Thank you for the explanation, but I will not give you my soul power."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want my whereabouts exposed!"

Hearing this, Shadow's eyes instantly turned cold, "011, Baili Ziyuan, can I understand this as you not wanting to obey the Master's dispatch?"

"I cannot completely trust you. After all, as you said, the Sequencers' abilities are too bizarre. I cannot bury a hidden danger for myself!"

Baili Ziyuan said firmly. In his opinion, the person in front of him was just someone who handled intelligence. How strong could he be?

"Unless you can defeat me and take it yourself, making me genuinely convinced!"

This was the only legitimate reason he could think of now. Otherwise, being watched by the preceding Sequencer still made him very apprehensive.

If there wasn't a sufficient reason, and it wasn't another Sequencer, what if He personally made a move? Would he still have the power to resist?

"Hmph, although I don't have the formidable strength of others, dealing with you is probably enough!"

Shadow didn't want to make a move, but now that he was being underestimated, he naturally couldn't back down. Sometimes, it was necessary to be appropriately strong.

The moment the words fell, the void behind Shadow rippled and then tore open, revealing a pitch-black space.

Baili Ziyuan's heart trembled as he stared at the void, because at that instant, he could feel countless pairs of eyes fixated on him.

Before he could react, countless pairs of blood-red eyes suddenly opened in the darkness, followed by the emergence of countless Black Shadow Legions from within.

Among them were a hundred beings with formidable and somewhat ferocious appearances. The Aura they emitted had surpassed the Martial Grandmaster but had not reached the Martial Lord, seemingly stepping into some unknown Realm.

But what could not be underestimated was the extremely terrifying strength of these guys. In addition, there were various Black Shadow creatures.

Some had sharp claws, some had wings, some were covered in armor all over, and some were as large as small mountains, giving a sense of massiveness.

The most important thing was that such Black Shadow soldiers were endless, like black waves burying him.

Baili Ziyuan looked at Shadow in front of him with extreme solemnity, the previous contempt gone from his eyes, "May I ask your name?"

"Shadow!"

After Shadow finished speaking, a dagger condensed in his hand. The next moment, the pitch-black space behind him instantly released, engulfing everything around them.

"Since you want to test my strength, then it's perfect. Let me see just what your methods are like!"

Along with these words, his figure flashed, and he instantly disappeared like a ghost into the endless darkness.

At the same time, those Black Shadow Legions surged forward like a tide, their momentum fierce and chillingly cold.

Seeing this, Baili Ziyuan couldn't help but be greatly startled, secretly thinking things were bad.

Because at this very moment, he suddenly felt as if his soul power was being suppressed by an extremely powerful force, making it completely impossible to exert.

Not only that, but even Shadow's whereabouts completely disappeared at this moment, as if he had evaporated.

"Break!"

Facing such a predicament, Baili Ziyuan was fearless. After a roar, he directly swung the death scythe in his hand, which emitted a terrifying Aura, slashing fiercely in all directions.

He attempted to forcefully break open this strange and inexplicable space in front of him with this fierce strike.

However, although the power of his attack was astonishing and unstoppable, in the end, it only managed to break open a slight sliver of darkness for an instant.

Through that narrow gap, Baili Ziyuan saw at a glance countless Black Shadow Legions densely swarming towards him like a plague of locusts.

Unfortunately, this situation only lasted for a brief instant.

In the blink of an eye, the darkness that had just been cut open quickly healed as if it had a life of its own, returning to its original state, as if it had never been damaged.

"Netherworld Gate!"

At this moment, Baili Ziyuan was utterly astonished, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

But he knew the situation was critical and allowed no hesitation, so he directly used his trump card.

Following a low and shocking roar, an enormous, pitch-black gate slowly appeared.

Immediately after, an extremely cold and bone-chilling ghost energy frantically surged out from within the gate, sweeping in all directions like a breached flood.

Wherever it passed, the air seemed about to freeze into ice, and a thick layer of frost condensed on the ground.

Under the illumination of this extremely powerful ghost energy, everything within a hundred meters became clearly visible, including the dense ghost energy continuously surging from the Netherworld Gate, as well as the Black Shadow Legions hidden in the darkness and rushing towards him.

The moment those Black Shadow Legion soldiers got close, they were struck by the ghost energy and dissipated into black smoke. Seeing this, Baili Ziyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But this feeling quickly disappeared, because since these ordinary Black Shadow Legions couldn't enter, the hundred An Ying's personal guard personally launched a charge.
