Faceless Ghost Fox! The Mysterious Sewers

"Are you looking for me?"

Su Ziyu kept his voice flat and hoarse, making it sound somewhat unreal.

The priest had clearly been scared witless. His lips trembled as he tried to speak, but no sound came out when he opened his mouth.

In the end, sensing danger, he gritted his teeth and forced his rock-solid feet to move, retreating two steps. With two bangs, two blade marks several meters deep appeared where he had just stood, shaped like a pair of interlocking scissors. The shadows seemed to ripple before vanishing again.

His retreat caused the hood concealing his face to fall away, revealing a face covered in a thick beard, with a broad forehead, high cheekbones, and skin so pale it was bloodless.

His pupils dilated as his gaze fell on the surrounding shadows, as if he feared they might come alive at any moment. Part of the reason was also that he did not want to look at Su Ziyu too much; merely staring at Su Ziyu seemed to make his mind begin to unravel.

Everything just now had naturally been done by the Void Shadow Beast hiding in the darkness. It was also Su Ziyu's little test.

This bearded brute wore the same fiery-cloud robe as the woman in the cheongsam at the factory. He was clearly one of their minor leaders.

After that brief test, this man was very likely a Morning Star as well!

Su Ziyu's eyes narrowed slightly beneath his mask. Their standoff filled the air with the scent of gunpowder, as though it could explode at any moment.

The bearded brute stared motionlessly at the shadows in the darkness, his forehead drenched in cold sweat. Suddenly, his brows twitched, and he dodged to the side. At the same time, a pair of black scissors flew past, grazing his robe and embedding itself in the wall behind him. A deep bloody gash was left across his left waist, though he had avoided the vital spot.

With a thud, the black scissors seemed to receive a summons. They gave off a low buzzing sound and trembled continuously before shooting back out with a whoosh, striking toward the man's back.

"Ah! Don't underestimate me either!"

The bearded brute's eyes reddened. He thrust both palms outward, making the ground tremble as a black box rose rapidly from the earth, breaking through the soil and positioning itself behind him to block the black scissors.

However, a deep crack appeared across the black box's surface. Then, from that point, fractures instantly spread throughout the entire box before it shattered with a series of cracks and a loud bang.

A hand reached out from within. Its arm was covered in yellow-and-white bristles, and it grabbed the black scissors. The scissors seemed unwilling to submit, buzzing and struggling as they left cuts across the palm, yet they could not break free.

Bang!

The beastly hand gripped the black scissors and slammed them directly into the ground. Rubble flew everywhere, and the earth shook. The enormous hand pressed down once more, then another beastly hand emerged and dragged out a colossal body.

It was a gigantic wild fox. Its thick lips curled outward, long fangs hanging from its mouth. It had no distinct facial features, only some tentacle-like fuzz growing from its smooth face. It was so ugly that it was hard to look at.

Yet it possessed knotted muscles and seemingly hard fur like armor that reflected a metallic sheen. Nine tails swayed ceaselessly behind it, filthy saliva drenching the ground, while its vicious expression made everyone seem like prey.

"Faceless Ghost Fox, this is my most precious collection!"

The bearded brute stroked the Faceless Ghost Fox's fur with great satisfaction, and the fear on his face gradually faded.

The moment Su Ziyu saw the Faceless Ghost Fox, he was delighted. Wasn't this excellent material?

Sigh, people were always bringing him materials. Every last one of them was an experience piñata.

"My good little treasure, let me give you a little more strength."

The bearded brute pressed his hands together. Fine strands of spirituality spilled from his fingertips as he pointed at the Faceless Ghost Fox. Spirituality drifted through the air, and earthen-yellow armor wrapped around the Faceless Ghost Fox completely, even covering its ugly head. It was armed from head to toe.

"Faceless Ghost Fox, go tear him to pieces!"

The bearded brute pointed toward Su Ziyu and shouted imposingly.

Roar!

The Faceless Ghost Fox let out an angry roar and kicked off with all four limbs, shooting forward like an arrow loosed from a bow. It crossed several meters in an instant, and a gale pressed down like something tangible. Su Ziyu stood where he was without changing expression, merely twitching a finger. The surrounding shadows seemed to come alive as several pairs of black scissors shot out with whooshes, weaving a dense net in midair.

The moment the Faceless Ghost Fox charged in, the bearded brute immediately ran away without looking back...

He had actually been afraid of Su Ziyu the entire time. That fearless expression just now had all been an act. Many powerful people survived in the world of True Gods not because they were exceptionally formidable, but because they valued their lives more than others.

Like the bearded brute, who had already vanished around the end of the alley in a flash. Watching his departing figure, a dark curtain gradually descended and enveloped Su Ziyu's body as he followed after him.

As for the Faceless Ghost Fox, the Void Shadow Beast and Ruan Xiaoqi were more than enough to handle it.

It was merely a Half-Step Morning Star monster.

After Su Ziyu left, a hurried figure appeared at the mouth of the alley. She moved swiftly along the wall like a spider. Emerging from the shadows, Ruan Xiaoqi leaped behind the Faceless Ghost Fox, grabbed one of its tails, and twisted it lightly. The tail was immediately wrung into a twisted knot and forcibly torn off.

"Hehehe..."

Ruan Xiaoqi's silver-bell laughter echoed through the narrow alley.

She held the enormous tail and swung it around with bang after bang, like an elementary school student who had gotten a beloved new toy.

The Dread Demon Eye crawled out of her pocket as well, greedily absorbing the blood drifting through the air. It instantly swelled larger, and the tentacles extending from it became denser and more massive.

"Hehehe... Big Eyeball, let's beat it to death together!"

Ruan Xiaoqi looked at the Dread Demon Eye and spoke, a rare occurrence.

Her voice sounded extremely excited, and her large eyes sparkled brightly.

The Dread Demon Eye waved its tentacles in response to Ruan Xiaoqi's request, while the Void Shadow Beast slipped into her shadow. As a monster that had inherited part of the authority of shadows, fighting from within the darkness was what it did best.

Following the bearded brute, Su Ziyu arrived inside a sewer.

He had not expected the other man to hide in a place like this.

The stench inside was so foul it was nearly impossible to breathe. Su Ziyu could not imagine how that guy had lived here.

But since he was already here, Su Ziyu would kill him no matter what.

He wanted to know why that cult had ambushed him tonight, and what exactly those strange undead beings were.

Tap, tap, tap...

He stepped through the foul water, his feet splashing with wet popping sounds. Su Ziyu activated the All-Seeing True Eye and made his way forward. After turning a corner, he saw the scene before him, and his pupils contracted slightly!
