He moved!
The Black Bear-masked man moved, kicking off with both legs hard enough to crack the floor. Layers of earth-yellow stone covered his fist and arm as he slammed it toward Su Ziyu.
His speed was decent, but under the All-Seeing True Eye, he was still about as slow as a crawling turtle.
His strength was formidable too. If an ordinary person took that blow, their forehead would definitely split open and they would die on the spot.
Seeing Su Ziyu standing completely still, the Black Bear-masked man thought his opponent had been scared stupid. The corners of his mouth curled up as his fist continued descending, and he could already picture Su Ziyu's face being smashed beyond recognition.
Whoosh!
A sudden change occurred!
The shadow behind the Black Bear-masked man seemed to come alive, swelling wildly with claws and fangs. A pair of scissors formed where its arms should have been and stabbed down fiercely!
It pierced through his back and burst out through his chest, giving him a thorough chilling!
Splurt!
Blood sprayed everywhere!
The Black Bear-masked man's movements stalled. Losing his balance, he fell forward.
Bang!
He crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
That shadow spread across Black Bear's back, then swelled and rose into a humanoid shape, still holding a pair of black scissors.
"Gasp..."
Everyone froze and silently drew a sharp breath.
They had thought Su Ziyu had been frightened stiff, yet he had not even needed to move. He had simply controlled a small shadow and killed his opponent.
"Where's the guy who said he'd eat shit upside down?"
"Gasp... Controlling shadows... Could he be from the Black Tailor Organization?!"
"The Black Tailor... that legendary... famous assassination organization in the Beyonder world!"
"Gasp... Being able to command such a powerful Shadow Clone... it's possible!"
"Gasp... You really can't judge a person by appearance... That pale-faced kid was so calm because he really had the strength!"
"A senior operative of the Black Tailor Organization? That's possible too!"
"..."
Su Ziyu quietly watched the Black Bear-masked man, frowning slightly. He could see that the man was suddenly breathing!
He was not dead yet!
That attack from the Void Shadow Beast had gone straight for his heart. Even if he had survived, there was no way he should still have been breathing so normally!
Su Ziyu sensed that something was wrong.
The Black Bear-masked man suddenly reached out and grabbed the Void Shadow Beast!
Su Ziyu reacted swiftly, throwing out two dark spears. They pierced the Black Bear-masked man's arms in succession, pinning his attempt to rise back to the ground.
Something was wrong...
There was definitely something wrong...
Was this guy not an elemental-type Beyonder?
Su Ziyu was doubtful, and the Black Bear-masked man's abnormal state also caused a commotion among the crowd.
"What the hell... Is this for real? His chest was pierced through, and he's still not dead?"
"I've never seen an earth-type Beyonder with such tenacious vitality!"
"Could he have some kind of magical artifact?"
The goateed stall owner was so nervous that he did not dare say a word. He was merely an old man who had spent a long time in the Beyonder world; his strength was not particularly impressive. A fight had suddenly broken out in front of his stall, leaving him deeply unsettled.
Besides, he did not dare run. Those two had come for his key, and he even suspected that if he made the slightest furtive move, they would immediately turn their weapons on him.
"Argh!"
The Black Bear-masked man once again erupted with terrifying spiritual energy, forcibly trying to climb up from the ground. It was as though the wounds on his body caused him no pain at all.
After observing him just now, Su Ziyu had figured out a few things.
The Black Bear man's Mental Body was normal, but...
His Astral Spirit Body, on the other hand, seemed to be missing a layer of membrane. It differed from that of normal people, and something appeared to be crawling between the blood vessels in his brain.
At Su Ziyu's command, the Void Shadow Beast transformed both hands into scissors and began snipping wildly.
With a splurt, the scissors pierced the creature hidden among the blood vessels in his brain, then clamped onto it and pulled it out. It was actually a black segmented worm.
Its entire body was pitch-black, with seven small rings along it. It resembled an earthworm and continued wriggling even while clamped between the scissors.
The scissors closed, instantly killing the Seven-Ring Worm. Su Ziyu tried extracting materials from it, but received nothing at all.
Then the Black Bear man's corpse suddenly went limp, and the movement from before ceased completely.
That sight stunned everyone present.
"Holy shit! What happened to the Black Bear guy? Was he being controlled by something?"
"He probably got hit with some kind of dark magic. Gasp... How terrifying. If that kid hadn't noticed, this guy might have caused a huge mess in the night market."
"Tch... Steward Wang is here. Whatever you have to say, I think you should save it for Steward Wang!"
"Gasp... Tsk, tsk... Steward Wang really came!"
"Make way! Make way! Steward Wang is here!"
"Oh, now this is going to be entertaining! Hahaha!"
"..."
Footsteps approached from afar, sounding somewhat chaotic and hurried.
The crowd gathered in a circle instinctively opened up a path. A squad of guards dressed in blue escorted a middle-aged man of average build and refined features over.
"Greetings, Steward!"
The surrounding crowd immediately bent at the waist and called out.
The refined middle-aged man waved a hand and stepped out from the crowd. He first glanced at the recently deceased Black Bear man, then his gaze fell upon Su Ziyu, particularly that yellow robe...
Steward Wang's expression changed from indifference to terror. He swallowed, while the fat and thin guards beside him secretly gestured toward Su Ziyu and said in low voices:
"Steward, it's him! The King in Yellow!"
Steward Wang had originally been holding back a bellyful of anger. He had first heard that a man dressed in the attire of the King in Yellow had come to the night market, then heard that someone here was causing trouble. He had intended to come over and take his anger out on that fellow.
But when he arrived and looked, well, the two matters turned out to be one and the same.
The surrounding crowd secretly glanced at Steward Wang and began whispering among themselves.
"Hehehe, he's done for, he's done for... Steward Wang is here. That kid is probably finished too."
"Hmph, I don't think so. Didn't you see how calm that pale-faced kid was? He was just as calm when facing the Black Bear guy!"
"This is different! Steward Wang is from the main city. We're all lowly people from Guardian City. Hehehe, if you ask me, he's definitely in for it!"
"Look at Steward Wang. He's so angry his face has gone pale! That kid is finished. He'll definitely be thrown into prison!"
"..."
There were all sorts of comments, but under the warning glares of the guards nearby, many people no longer dared to say much.
For a moment, the scene fell silent as everyone waited for Steward Wang to speak.
Of course, Su Ziyu was different. He merely wanted to see what Steward Wang intended to do. If he chose to get forceful, Su Ziyu would not mind tearing this entire night market apart today.
