Chapter 2044 Shadow Blade! Shadow Puppetry Seal! (1)
w.a.n.g Teng skillfully evaded Tong En's attempt to pinch his face.
This senior sister is really friendly!
Can you just pinch any guy's face casually?
Of course not.
"Stingy little guy, just let me pinch you!" Tong En pouted, showing a hint of disappointment when her attempt failed.
"Senior sister, face-pinching comes with responsibilities," w.a.n.g Teng teased.
"I take full responsibility!" Tong En's eyes lit up. "I love cute, young boys."
w.a.n.g Teng:
Is this a female rogue? "Junior w.a.n.g Teng, is it really you?" Bi Yao exclaimed in surprise.
"Who else did you think it could be?" w.a.n.g Teng replied.
"True." Bi Yao nodded after a moment's pause.
In that perilous situation, only someone they knew would come to their aid.
They hadn't expected that a connection made on their way here would turn into such a fortunate encounter.
Furthermore, the outcome exceeded their expectations.
"Tong En, you're lucky to run into w.a.n.g Teng. Otherwise, this time, you might have met your end here," another voice came from the darkness.
Tong En and her companions were taken aback. They had been so focused on w.a.n.g Teng that they hadn't realized there were others present.
Of course, it was also to evade the scrutiny of the armored corpses that Wan Dong and the others had hidden their presence, so as not to be detected.
As they emerged from the darkness, Tong En and her companions immediately recognized their faces.
"Wan Dong! It's you!" Tong En exclaimed in surprise.
It was clear that they also knew Wan Dong and the others.
"How did you end up with Junior w.a.n.g Teng?" Bi Yao asked curiously.
Wan Dong and his group felt a bit awkward. They couldn't just admit that they had been captured by w.a.n.g Teng, which would be quite embarra.s.sing.
"Cough, cough." w.a.n.g Teng cleared his throat and said, "We're all friends here, working together, working together."
Tong En scanned w.a.n.g Teng and Wan Dong's faces and felt that something was off, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Wan Dong and his group breathed a sigh of relief. At least w.a.n.g Teng had saved face for them.
At this moment, they surprisingly felt grateful to w.a.n.g Teng.
Tong En didn't dwell on the matter. She was more curious about w.a.n.g Teng's strength. How could he be so powerful?
Moreover, the appearance of the divine golden phoenix earlier seemed to be
Divine spirit master!
Tong En's mind raced as she thought of something, her astonishment growing.
He must be a divine spirit master!
It was clear that they had underestimated w.a.n.g Teng, this junior of theirs. No wonder he insisted on carrying out a mission alone even though it was a nightmare-level mission with an 80% fatality rate.
Without substantial confidence, who would dare to do such a thing?
This Junior w.a.n.g Teng was truly remarkable. Despite being a freshman, he was almost on par with the seasoned students.
His future was limitless.
Tong En wasn't the only one who thought of this. Bi Yao, Wei Na, and the others had the same thought.
In an instant, they viewed w.a.n.g Teng with more importance and their intentions to build a strong relations.h.i.+p with him grew stronger.
Furthermore, w.a.n.g Teng was a grandmaster alchemist. Such talents were not easy to come by.
With these thoughts in mind, Tong En and the others felt incredibly grateful, and they warmly expressed their appreciation towards w.a.n.g Teng.
"Seniors, you should heal yourselves quickly. Those armored corpses might pa.s.s by here at any moment," w.a.n.g Teng advised.
"Yes!" Tong En and the others nodded. Without any hesitation, they sat down and took out healing pills, starting their recovery.
Their previous battle had drained their strength significantly, and they had sustained injuries. Without recuperation, they would be a burden.
As their wounds slowly healed, the expressions of Tong En and the others didn't improve. They couldn't shake off the lingering shadowy power, which coiled around their Fforce and even their physical bodies, causing them considerable discomfort.
"d.a.m.n it! What is this power, and why is it so persistent?" Yuan Bai complained as he opened his eyes.
The others also opened their eyes, their expressions far from rea.s.suring.
This strange force was beyond their expectations.
"Senior Sister, give me your hand. Let me take a look," w.a.n.g Teng said to Tong En.
"Alright!" Tong En hesitated for a moment, not knowing what w.a.n.g Teng intended to do. However, considering his status as a Grandmaster Alchemist, she thought he might have a solution. So, she extended her hand.
w.a.n.g Teng held Tong En's hand, and his initial impression was that it was a bit soft!
Cough, cough.
Coughing discreetly, w.a.n.g Teng quickly regained his composure, putting on a serious expression as he carefully sensed the situation. He indeed detected the presence of the Shadow Power.
"Don't resist," w.a.n.g Teng said.
Tong En blinked and nodded.
Yuan Bai and the others were astounded. They looked over and saw w.a.n.g Teng.
Could he have a solution?
w.a.n.g Teng activated his Shadow Talent, and a gentle suction force emanated from his palm, flowing into Tong En's body.
"What is this?" Tong En exclaimed, her eyes widening as she stared at w.a.n.g Teng in disbelief.
She felt the Shadow Power being absorbed.
It was unbelievable!
How did he do it?
In no time, all the shadowy force within Tung En's body had been completely absorbed, leaving no trace behind.
She immediately felt much lighter, and the cold, eerie sensation had vanished entirely. The bluish hue on her face had also disappeared.
"Is it better now?" Yuan Bai and the others were astonished, looking at Tong En, and then back at w.a.n.g Teng.
Wan Dong and his group were equally surprised, though they had a bit of mental preparation as w.a.n.g Teng had effortlessly resolved the shadows earlier.
The situation with Tong En and her friends appeared to be similar to what had happened to Guang Yu and the others.
Could it be that these armored corpses were controlled by something similar to these shadows?
