Chapter 716: Chapter 591 Gushan Chapter 716: Chapter 591 Gushan The Elder of Shadows was emaciated and pale; he appeared instantly in front of Roger, shielding him as attacks rained down from all directions.

Demonic power surged, yet the Elder of Shadows stood like an island amidst the waves, enduring the onslaught without budging an inch.

“What’s this thing?”

The attackers surrounding Roger quickly noticed something was amiss. The physical prowess of monsters far exceeded that of normal Cultivators and, in some ways, was even comparable to Western Transcendents.

But they also possessed the ability to amplify their power with demonic power, making their actual combat strength much greater than Cultivators of the same tier.

To their astonishment, they discovered that within this gaunt figure seemed to lie a volcano.

And the next moment…

The volcano erupted!

Boom!

The ground burst open, creating a large crater, as the Elder of Shadows, like a phantom, appeared instantly beside a monstrous creature with a massive body and a single eye.

The monster’s solitary eye radiated yellow light, but before it could recover, a pale arm loomed larger and larger before its eye.

Then intense pain followed.

Ah…!

The monster screamed in agony as the Elder of Shadows burst its giant eye. It flailed wildly in its attacks, but in the next second, its head exploded.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Three breaths later, the Elder of Shadows, drenched in blood, reappeared in front of Roger.

It was then that the nearest figures to Roger finally collapsed with a thunderous fall.

Just one confrontation and five were slain.

His gaze unfocused, red pupils swept over everyone present. The chill ran down the spine of anyone caught in his glance.

He regarded them with the cold detachment of a deity surveying mortals.

Roger couldn’t shake the feeling that, in this world, the Elder of Shadows displayed a combat strength that was a cut above what he had shown when facing Green.

“Perhaps it’s just an illusion,”
After all, Green’s combat prowess didn’t come close to these formidable monsters.

This overwhelming combat strength sent chills through everyone. They instinctively retreated, casting their gazes toward the Kurokawa Superior Leader.

“Who are you?!”

The handsome face of the Kurokawa Superior Leader darkened.

He lowered his hovering height slightly, scrutinizing the Elder of Shadows carefully, while Roger was entirely ignored.

“According to the rules of the Land of Eternal Darkness, there can only be one Superior Leader per area. This place and the nearby Kurokawa belong to me. Stranger, what is your purpose here?”

The Kurokawa Superior Leader looked more cautious, sensing a formidable aura from this other party not inferior to his own.

That bloodthirsty, primal nature of killing.

Thump!

The Elder of Shadows’ figure flickered into existence.

Beyond his terrifying strength, his movement speed was also beyond imagination–swift and silent, as if merging with the surrounding darkness.

The Kurokawa Superior Leader, who did not expect a Transcendent of his caliber to launch a sneak attack, was caught off guard when the Elder of Shadows slammed a knee into his face.

But that was not what caused him the most pain.

The Elder of Shadows maintained a nude form throughout, his knee striking upward, a long, phallic object waving about; if not for its insufficient length, it would have likely slapped right onto the Kurokawa Superior Leader’s face.

The Kurokawa Superior Leader was green with rage.

Since his birth, he had survived countless bloody battles, gradually obtaining the power of a Superior Leader.

In this process, he had faced equally matched opponents, been defeated by stronger foes, but never had he been insulted like this.

Yes, in the eyes of the Kurokawa Superior Leader, this was an insult!

“I’m going to kill you!”

The Kurokawa Superior Leader roared, his gaze fixated on a certain part of the Elder of Shadows’ body.

The rage in his chest almost set him alight. He bellowed as demonic power cascaded behind him like waves, and he wielded an exaggeratedly large blade that materialized in his hands.

The blade was pitch-black, resembling a powerful creature’s bone by its shape.

At the same time, his gaze swept over, “What are you waiting for?”

“Crush that human!!”

“Lord, his belongings…”

“Let the Tengu Shrine die, let him die too!”

Demonic power swelled around the Kurokawa Superior Leader like a sea, enveloping the Elder of Shadows within, forming a sphere made of demonic power where they fought.

He swung his blade horizontally but was impassively blocked by the Elder of Shadows; the exaggerated blade only managed to slice the Elder’s skin and flesh before getting stuck in his hard bones.

The Kurokawa Superior Leader’s expression changed, the Elder of Shadows’ defensive power far exceeding his anticipation.

At that moment, Roger too was in crisis.

The Elder of Shadows was confined by the Kurokawa Superior Leader in a narrow space; with the Kurokawa Superior Leader’s restraint, it seemed impossible to break free in a short time.

Meanwhile, upon the Kurokawa Superior Leader’s command, the surrounding Fourth Tier monsters also approached Roger.

More pressing than the threat posed by the powerful enemies was the strain of Shadow’s Power needed to control the Elder of Shadows.

The longer the duration and more intense the battle, the greater the consumption.

“Is it not over yet?”

Roger asked inwardly.

“I suggest you choose to leave,”
Uma remained very calm.

With a heavy heart, Roger realized they had been pursued too quickly, giving him no time to react. If he chose to leave now, Higurashi Chika would definitely be exposed…

The outcome did not need stating.

“Take good care of her,”
Roger summoned all his strength and charged head-on into the fray.
