The Siege of Golden Sand Island (7)

Shadows are not the same as darkness, but they are not entirely products of light either. If one clings to the idea that shadows are darkness, then shadows will indeed be dispelled by light, just like darkness.

Only by Integration with the shadows Avatar one with them, like Lu Li, and understanding part of the essence of the shadows, can one make light one of their sources of power, but only one.

Lu Li's skin continuously absorbed substances from the air, filling them in. Black lines appeared on its surface, with black flames burning within them, gradually solidifying and modifying its skin. There were still quite a few Wendigo bone scales left, which would also need to be refilled later, otherwise, it wouldn't have enough of a human feel.

And so, Lu Li, draped in a black cloak with faint black flame patterns burning on his body, looked to the other side and saw a person dressed in a black robe walking out from there.

It was the same mysterious man who had spoken to Zhao Minghui at the beginning. He clapped his hands and walked over, maintaining that all-knowing tone. "As expected of the world-renowned Black Heaven Hall, even Polar Star Qi Ye is no match for you."

Lu Li squinted at him for a moment, then chuckled. "This is another piece of trash created by some gamer." With a flick of his hand, a shadowy spear shot out.

With a "bang," a transparent barrier appeared in front of the mysterious man. The shadowy spear pierced through it, then fell powerless before him. A deeply hidden venomous resentment crept into the mysterious man's previously indifferent tone. "Oh dear, still so disdainful of people!"

The man pulled back his hood, ripped off his mask, and revealed a somewhat deformed face covered in fleshy scales. As he became agitated, the scales began to swell slightly with blood.

Furthermore, the other party's head protruded outwards, looking bulging out of shape and resembling a dog's head rather than a human's. The tongue in this deformed monster's mouth was forked like a snake. He seemed unable to hold back any longer and said viciously, word by word, "Now, does our Black Heaven Hall recognize me?"

Lu Li stared at the person, momentarily stunned, then asked, "Who are you?"

Upon hearing the question "Who are you?", the mysterious man's fleshy scales on his face swelled up slightly with blood, making him look extremely disgusting. In a fit of rage, he ripped off his robe, exposing his upper body.

His skin had a gelatinous texture, and countless dark red blood vessels could be seen running from his heart to his entire body. The monster roared angrily, "It's all because of you that I've become this grotesque creature, but it's also because of you that I've gained this powerful strength."

"I will not let you go. I will kill you, then destroy your Black Heaven Hall, and that woman Feng Qing. I will make her wish she were dead!" the monster roared madly.

When Feng Qing was mentioned, Lu Li finally had a vague recollection of her. He searched his memory storage area and came up with a name: "Qi Yunfei?"

"Hehe, you finally recognize your grandpa." This monster was none other than Qi Yunfei, the eldest disciple of Golden Sand Island. Years ago, he was struck by Lu Li's One Finger Plants Black Star. In order to save his life, he memorized the secret martial art of Vast Blue Thousand Miles from Golden Sand Island and escaped with his life.

After escaping far away, the fear in his heart subsided slightly, and he realized what he had done. Not only had he completely lost face, but he had also sold out the secret martial arts of Golden Sand Island.

In a daze, he dared not return to Golden Sand Island. The Black Star in his chest continued to torment him. On one hand, he was afraid of Lu Li, and on the other hand, he was tormented by the Black Star, yet he also felt like he wanted to get closer to the Black Heaven Hall.

Later, when the Ancient Moon Hall rose to prominence, Qi Yunfei, clinging to the idea that the Ancient Moon Hall was also a mythical martial artist, endured the torment and traveled to the North. He eventually met Hu Wenxu and, under intense torture, agreed to undergo Hu Wenxu's transformation.

He underwent Aberrant bloodline Implantation, had his heart, which contained a Black Star, removed and replaced with a Ghoul's heart, and had all his blood drained to replace it with a dark red, foul-smelling, writhing blood.

The feeling of that foreign object moving inside his body was enough to drive anyone mad, but fortunately Qi Yunfei managed to pull through. His body underwent some changes, becoming partially Ghoul- like, as well as some other transformations.

"You must have suffered serious injuries defeating Qi Ye, right? Even if you're not human, I'm no longer human either. I've gained even greater power. So feel my pain, and then die!" Qi Yunfei shouted madly.

Lu Li tilted his head. Was this guy really created by Hu Wenxu? He himself might not even be able to overcome the difficulties, yet he had the mood to cause trouble for him? And some things about this guy seemed very familiar.

Lu Li observed Qi Yunfei. The other party's heart was very similar to that of the Ghoul Meat Ganoderma from before. It should be a replica of Hu Wenxu's, and the effect should be similar. Judging from Qi Yunfei's physical condition, he must have eaten a lot of corpses during this period.

Furthermore, the blood on the other party's body was very familiar. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Aggregation of resentment from the Ghoul Cave. In the Merfolk instance, Lu Li even sacrificed a shadow clone to stop it. Later, this thing should have been captured by the Witch, and then after the Witch died, it fell into Hu Wenxu's hands.

However, it seems that the blood resentment was incomplete; only a portion was Implantation into Qi Yunfei's body. Is Hu Wenxu imitating the Implant Path in the basic enhancement abilities of games with this modification method?

Qi Yunfei took a step forward, his body shooting towards Lu Li like a flash of light. This child had been watching Lu Li and Qi Ye's battle from a distance. Although he thought Lu Li strong, he felt that after his own enhancement, he wouldn't lose to Lu Li by much. He hadn't heard their conversation and had no idea that Lu Li was just an avatar.

"Interesting." A large amount of black internal energy surged from Lu Li's body, transforming into layers of scales that enveloped him.

"It's no use, it's no use!!" Qi Yunfei shouted frantically, as a claw made of gelatinous substance grew from his hand, tearing open the scales on Lu Li's body, and the huge claw swung towards Lu Li.

Today, he's going to wash away his shame, kill Lu Li, Annihilation his Black Heaven Hall, and also Destruction places like Golden Sand Island, as well as all those martial arts practitioners there—all of them, die!

Qi Yunfei has gone completely mad. The person he wants to kill most now is naturally Lu Li, and the one he wants to Destruction next is actually Golden Sand Island, the place that gave him birth and raised him, because he leaked the secret martial arts of Golden Sand Island.

Some people are like that. If they feel they've done something wrong and are sorry to you, they'll just try to ruin you so you won't have a chance to blame them. Qi Yunfei was exactly in this mindset.

He felt he had let down Golden Sand Island, fearing that his master, mistress, and fellow disciples there would blame him and look down on him. So he decided that after killing Lu Li, he would kill those people so that he wouldn't be blamed.

"What are you thinking?" The next moment, he was kicked away, and Lu Li's calm voice rang out. "Are you mentally preparing to become an experimental subject?"

First update of September! Wishing everyone a happy new month!
