Chapter 550: In Despair

(Unedited)

…

A pact between Shin Jiao and the being calling himself as the Shadow Legion was made. With confidence in its win, it is sure that once Shin Jiao finished his goal in killing the other person which shares his name and has the same appearance as him it could get Shin Jiao as per the condition of the contract.

Hence the Shadow Being is already confident of its win in this bet.

It has been a long time since he used such low-level tricks just to entice a mere mortal. But it didn't have any choice as the young man is a one in a million chance for it to escape this damnable and boring prison.

And so, the Shadow Being open up a portal and made Shin Jiao appear near the place where there is a tall cliff and a dangerous rocky ground below.

Shin Jiao didn't hesitate and immediately jumps into the portal without thinking twice. He knew that he has to make a move to be able to save Susan Tang.

After appearing near the cliff he immediately saw, with his absolute sense the situation. He dare not extend it to the carriage as he is afraid to see the state of the person inside.

Without a second thought, he suddenly jumps down towards the ground and landed beside the carriage.

Right at this moment, another figure also landed on the opposite side of the carriage.

As the two people look at each other both show different reactions.

The one wearing a cloak showed fear in his eyes, but also a hint of anger and resentment can be seen. While the other one who is wearing a blue cultivator's robe has a calm expression on his face. But the shaking of his hand shows his true feelings.

Right at this moment, two Shin Jiaos are looking at each other. An unknown feeling slowly bloomed inside each other's hearts. However, for Shin Jiao who came from the earth, he could not wait to destroy the man who looks like him.

No matter what reason this fellow has, he could not forgive him for taking Susan Tang as a hostage. So although his face looks calm his body is currently shivering in anger.

"So you really look like me… I guess the hero who saves the continent is someone at your level… Haha… But I… I am nothing like you. I'm no hero. I just wanted to have a better life… Can I not have one? I just wanted a family… Am I not permitted to have one?" the cloaked Shin Jiao muttered as he stood up calmly while looking at the carriage.

"Hehe… If I cannot have her, then… it is better than no one can have her!" the cloaked Shin Jiao suddenly muttered as his expression suddenly warped into a sinister one.

With a wave of his hand dark Qi suddenly flew out towards the carriage.

This sudden determination coming from the cloaked Shin Jiao is something that war bore from his desperation. With the powerful Shin Jiao in this place, he knew that escaping with his life after what he did is not possible. If he would die, then maybe, at least maybe, he can be with the woman he likes, even if that woman is not the real Qin Lou and just someone who looks exactly like her.

Inside his mind he is thinking that at least before he dies, he can make the life of the other Shin Jiao to be like that of himself… miserable and wretched.

That's why he wanted to kill the woman in the carriage and the child in her belly. He didn't care anymore; he just wanted to end everything before it's too late.

However, he also had a deeper plan.

And true to his sinister plot, the other Shin Jiao suddenly jumped in front of the ruined carriage and tried to block the dark Qi.

The cloaked Shin Jiao saw his dark Qi entering the other Shin Jiao's body and this made him grin happily.

But then his expression darkened when his opponent ignores him and just directly walked towards the carriage.

With a wave of his hand, the entire carriage was lifted up and from there they saw a figure covered in a golden protective array.

Both heaves a sigh of relief but then, both knew that only one of them would be able to live this place.

Although still afraid the cloaked Shin Jiao suddenly cast multiple dark Qi fireballs towards his opponent.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of loud explosions that obliterated the entire area and turns it into a small crater resulted from just that simple attack.

However, the cloaked Shin Jiao knew that this attack is not enough.

"Haha… I know that you are unhurt. I knew of your strength, and that you are very powerful. But I have to say that you have underestimated me if you think that I fear you. Right now, you cannot escape my grasp. I will make sure to destroy you and take what truly belongs to me. Haha…" the cloaked Shin Jiao shouted as he floated in the air.

He then sent another barrage towards a certain location as if he clearly knew where his target is.

"Oh, by the way… I guessed you also have stolen from me, my own mother. The love that I deserve from her was given to you. You… you a person who came from another world… you destroyed my life and my own path… however… Hehe… with the power that I have now, I am sure that I can still beat you."

After saying that, his figure suddenly vanished and appears inside the dust cloud covered ground.

Boom!

A loud explosion occurs and a figure can be seen flying out of that dust cloud.

That figure hit the corner of the cliff and was embedded inside.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao walks out of the dust cloud while carrying an unconscious figure in his hand.

He carefully laid the weak and unconscious figure on the ground covered with thick cloth which he prepared beforehand. It is one of the camping bags he had inside his ring.

As he watches Susan Tang's beautiful face a smile crept on Shin Jiao's face.

"You look good wearing a cultivator's gown…" he muttered as he lovingly caressed her face.

However, he suddenly feels something darting out from his hand towards Susan Tang's figure. It was like a cloud of black smoke that moves like a sludge.

Shin Jiao swiftly used his hand to catch that thing, but who would have known that when he does, his head suddenly felt a bit of pain.

It was like a connection to the being that sent him to this place; the Shadow Being is calling for him. Shin Jiao's expression suddenly changed as he tried to focus but it was too late. The black smoke seeps inside of Susan Tang's body.

This made Shin Jiao show a panicked reaction.

"No… no… this can't be. How can this happen? You… you tricked me you bastard!" shouted Shin Jiao in panic as his figure was suddenly drawn towards a black hole like thingy which suddenly appears behind him.

Shin Jiao wanted to grab the figure lying on the ground in desperation but it seems that his body could not move as he felt a strong domain stopping his movement.

Then what he saw next made him show a truly desperate expression.

This is because the body of Susan Tang was suddenly covered with a cloud of black smoke. And from what he can see and feel, it is corrosive and very dangerous.

But what can he do, he is already inside the portal and could just watch his beloved woman slowly being devoured by that black smoke-like thingy that his doppelganger used as an attack.

But what made Shin Jiao despair more is the figure slowly emerging from the hole at the side of the cliff. Although he hit that doppelganger of his heavily, he is stunned that the man is still able to move as if nothing happened.

"Hihi… So what do you think of my generosity?" the Shadow Being suddenly said as Shin Jiao found himself kneeling on the ground.

"Take me back there! Take me back there this instant!" Shouted Shin Jiao as his eyes didn't leave the scene he can see while peering at the black hole like thingy.

"Hihi… do you think I will still listen to you? Haha… I have already given you a chance. What happened next is your fault for being too slow." The Shadow Being said as it flew around Shin Jiao with a sinister smile on its shadow like visage.

"You…"

Then Shin Jiao's words turned silent as he saw what happened next. The figure of Susan Tang on the other side of the black hole is slowly consumed. While the cloaked Shin Jiao just looks at what is happening on the ground.

Suddenly another grin appears on his face as he extended his hand and absorbs the shadow-like thingy. And along with it comes the whole flesh of the young woman.

Only the bones were left on the ground.

This scene made Shin Jiao shake in anger, as his expression showed disbelief and despair. The feeling of disbelief can be seen in his eyes as he could not take his eyes off from the scene.

"Hihi… Now I got you…" the Shadow Being thought as he swoops down and appears next to the stunned Shin Jiao.

He can smell his own victory and the smell of desperation in the expression of the young man.

After it cut off the scene, Shin Jiao just sat on the ground weakly. His guard is already down and the Shadow Being can already make its move to take over the body in front of its eyes.

"This is perfect… I want to feel it come on… Let me feel the fear… Let me feel the desperation…" the Shadow Being thought as it waited behind Shin Jiao with a big grin on its face.

It is waiting for the chaotic Qi coming of Shin Jiao's body due to fear and despair.. For the Shadow Being, these are the most scrumptious part of the soul energy it could devour before taking over the body of the young man under its eyes.
