"Who are you?!"
Shadow had never encountered anything like this.
Even Transcendents with greater mental strength than his should not have been like this.
Pitch-black!
Black enough to make his heart tremble!
"Who am I..."
Gu Shen chuckled softly.
He did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Do you really want to know?"
The ancient scripture house area in W4 District, the entire estate, and everything sealed off by Blazing Fire... No mental power could leak out from here. In other words, Shadow could not transmit any signals here.
This was their "private time."
"The aura around you is sinister and abyssal. You look heavily burdened by sin..."
Shadow stared at Gu Shen for a long while, silently gripping the two daggers that had slipped from his sleeves.
"You're no good thing."
Gu Shen neither confirmed nor denied that assessment.
Shadow narrowed his eyes.
The shade beneath the eaves was like ink, impossible to disperse.
He was an assassin who lurked within the shadows, hidden in the night year-round, keeping company with darkness!
Yet the "darkness" carried by the man before him filled even him with fear and disgust!
Wait... fear, disgust?
Shadow suddenly thought of a possibility. He raised his head in shock. "Are you an Apostle of the King of the Underworld?!"
"Heh..."
Gu Shen smiled.
He slowly shook his head. "Very close, but wrong... Guess again."
"Guess again?!"
Shadow froze for a second. If he was not an Apostle of the King of the Underworld... then who else could he be?!
He did not have much time to think!
Boom!
The moment Gu Shen beneath the eaves spoke, he attacked. The instant he told Shadow to guess his identity, he had already decided to kill him and erase all traces!
It was a punch from point-blank range!
