Chapter 148: Shadow Grim Reaper

"Shadow!"

The umbrella was hit by the previous strike and was cut in half at the waist.

Ye Bai scrambled up from the ground in a sorry state, his clothes soaked through and his body covered in mud.

The Sunflower Emperor lay on top of Ye Bai's head, extending its leaves to shield him from the wind and rain.

The rain from the sky fell incessantly from high above, as if a levee had broken.

The white, torrential rain hit the asphalt road, making a pattering sound.

A figure wearing a black cloak emerged from a crack in the stones.

Ye Bai saw the attacker; he was wearing a black hooded cloak, a mask on his face, and his deep blue eyes were looking at him mockingly.

The rain stopped within a two-meter radius of him, as if held up by an invisible hand.

He had his hands in his pockets, looking cool and composed.

"Ye Bai, you managed to escape a disaster."

"The Shadow Kill just now was actually ineffective against you; it seems your mental power is not weak!"

"But it doesn't matter. If it didn't work once, then we'll try a few more times. Your Soul, my Pet Beast is determined to harvest it!"

The Shadow said, exuding an imposing aura.

He beckoned toward the shadow on the ground, and countless black shadows converged to form a Grim Reaper holding a black scythe, hovering in mid-air.

It looked somewhat similar to the Shadow, its face hidden within the hood, making it impossible to tell what was real.

The hands exposed from the cloak were still wrapped in black mist.

It held a two-meter-long great scythe in its hand, which emitted wisps of chilling cold under the illumination of the Thunder Light.

It held the scythe high; that previous strike had been launched by it.

At this moment, this Pet Beast was standing motionless beside the Shadow, like a loyal guard.

At this time, the rain gradually began to slow down.

But the dark clouds in the sky remained as black as ink.

"This is the Pet Beast I contracted, Shadow Grim Reaper."

"Today, you cannot escape my pursuit."

A black pattern appeared in Ye Bai's pupils, and the data of the Shadow Grim Reaper appeared before his eyes.

【Weakness: Any light-attribute attacks.】

The Shadow Grim Reaper held the scythe high, with countless black mists entwined around the blade.

Violent lightning fell from the ink-dark sky, and the jagged lightning struck the mountain rocks heavily.

Quite a few stone fragments fell, but neither of the two was moved.

The two stared at each other, letting the violent lightning fall from the sky.

"You are very lucky; even the Resurrection Society didn't finish you off, and instead, you escaped."

"I watched the matter of Dankalabi clearly from the shadows."

"If you hadn't released the rabbit and the carrot, and shifted the blame onto the Blood Saint Child, it would have been difficult for you to escape unscathed."

"You are a very wise person, but today you are going to die at my hands."

The Shadow laughed coldly, violent lightning falling from the sky, and Ye Bai saw the mockery in the Shadow's eyes.

"Go, Shadow Grim Reaper, Shadow Kill!"

The Shadow Grim Reaper had been charging up for a long time; black airflow was injected into its massive scythe, and it swung heavily toward the direction where Ye Bai was.

Just as Ye Bai wanted to move, he found his body stiffened.

He saw countless black threads emerging from his shadow, firmly binding him.

"Shadow Bind!"

The Shadow let out a laugh: "Didn't expect it, did you? While I was talking to you just now, I had already set up a Net-Catching."

"I, Shadow, am a killer ranked 49th on the killer leaderboard; there is no one I cannot kill."

"I have even assassinated fifth-order Pet Beast Masters."

"It was just that I stumbled in Jiaying City, which makes me feel incredibly annoyed to this day!"

The scythe fell at an extremely fast speed, so fast that even the Sunflower Emperor didn't react in time.

Just at the moment the scythe was about to strike, the Myriad-Change Silkworm rushed out from the Pet Beast Space and blocked in front of Ye Bai.

A brilliant silver-white light erupted from the Myriad-Change Silkworm, and the scythe heavily grazed its body.

There wasn't a single cut on its body, but the Myriad-Change Silkworm felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from the place that had been struck.

The Myriad-Change Silkworm's head was covered in beads of sweat, which were quickly washed away by the rain.

Its entire body was trembling violently; this was a sharp pain of the Soul.

"Ahahaha, what my Shadow Reaper cuts down with its scythe is not flesh, but shadows."

"It will be stripped of its shadow by the Shadow Reaper step by step."

"All Pet Beasts, as long as they have no shadow, will immediately lose their lives."

"This is my self-created Shadow Harvesting Technique."

"The harvested shadows will then be crafted by me into shadow puppets."

"Unless you finish off my Shadow Reaper, the harvested shadows cannot be returned to their original owners."

The Shadow Reaper continued to brandish its scythe, the sharp scythe slashing fiercely toward the Myriad-Change Silkworm.

The invincible Myriad-Change Silkworm felt pressure for the first time; intense pain was stimulating the Myriad-Change Silkworm's brain in waves. Whether human or Exotic Beast, when encountering intense pain, adrenaline will be secreted rapidly.

A large amount of adrenaline was secreted within the Myriad-Change Silkworm's body, which also led to unknown changes occurring inside the Myriad-Change Silkworm.

At this moment, the Clone of the Gloom Butterfly appeared silently.

Its wings, sharp as blades, radiated a chilling cold.

Like an assassin under the shadows, the Gloom Butterfly remained motionless at the critical moment, and when it was time to strike, it would quickly finish off its opponent with lightning speed.

Yingzi was also arrogant; he had summoned the Shadow Reaper to protect himself, with no other defenses around.

A sound of breaking through the air arrived, and in Yingzi's astonished gaze, the Gloom Butterfly's wings sliced across Yingzi's body.

Yingzi was split in two from the middle, and the mask was shattered.

Before Ye Bai could heave a sigh of relief, he saw countless black threads emerge from the wound, fusing Yingzi's body back into one again.

Even the broken mask was repaired under the influence of the Shadow.

"Do you think I am too arrogant and underestimate the enemy, making no defenses at such a critical moment?"

"Why do you think you can use ordinary means to finish me off?"

The dark, deep gaze stared fixedly at Ye Bai; Ye Bai felt as if he had been targeted by a venomous snake.

"I was born accompanied by a Shadow curse, and this curse has also transformed into my talent. As long as there is a place with a shadow, you cannot completely kill me."

Yingzi waved his hand, and a huge Shadow Lijua directly pierced through the body of the Gloom Butterfly Clone.

The Gloom Butterfly Clone vanished into light.

Ye Bai clearly saw that this Lijua was covered with many closed eyes.

"If it weren't for that old geezer I met at the Pet Beast Guild, who used Hellfire to finish off my main Shadow Warrior."

"With my Shadow Warrior alone, I could easily crush a second-rank nobody like you."

Yingzi said viciously.

"However, even if my Shadow Warrior is finished off, it can be gestated again. As long as I harvest enough shadows, I can summon it again."

"Go, Shadow Reaper, Waltz of Death, completely destroy Ye Bai's Pet Beast."

A large amount of black gas emerged from the Shadow Reaper's body; under the infusion of the black gas, its body grew infinitely taller.

A huge eye appeared on the scythe, and cold sweat poured down the back of the Myriad-Change Silkworm.

Just as the Sunflower Emperor was preparing to take this move, it was pressed down by Ye Bai.

Ye Bai made a gesture to signal the Sunflower Emperor to stay calm.

The Shadow Reaper brandished its huge scythe and slashed fiercely at the Myriad-Change Silkworm.

This massive strike seemed to tear the very space apart with the scythe; a huge black shadow, wrapped around the scythe, slashed toward the Myriad-Change Silkworm.

At the most critical moment, the Guangming Nüshen Die Clone appeared, and a huge ball of light emerged from its body, like a rising sun.

The dark sky suddenly shone as if it were broad daylight.

A blinding, intense light appeared suddenly, and the Reaper brandishing the scythe let out a miserable howl.

Black flames erupted from its body, and the huge scythe fell to the ground, shrinking directly into an ordinary scythe.

Under the irradiation of the intense light, the Shadow Reaper's body grew smaller and smaller, until it finally vanished into thin air.

The Shadow Reaper was instantly killed by the Holy Light illumination, which made Yingzi very angry.

This was a Pet Beast that had mastered the Shadow rules, which he had spent a great deal of time finding.

If this guy could grow up, it would inevitably become a titan of a region.

As a result, it was destroyed by the Holy Light illumination just like that.

Large areas of burn marks also appeared on Yingzi's body, and white smoke rose from his body.

Shadow-type Exotic Beasts are very, very strong, but also very, very weak.

Their strength lies in ignoring physical attacks, being able to shuttle through shadows at will, and being able to open up shadow spaces.

They even have a certain degree of restraint against attributes such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

However, the biggest disadvantage of shadow-type Exotic Beasts is that they fear light-attribute attacks.

Once hit by a light-attribute attack, if they have not hidden into a shadow space, they will suffer heavy damage.

Bloodshot eyes appeared in Yingzi's eye sockets; Ye Bai could feel that this assassin from the Resurrection Society possessed monstrous rage.

"Originally, I just wanted to turn you into a shadow puppet."

"But now, I have decided; I want to place your Soul in the fires of Hell to burn."

Yingzi was furious, but Ye Bai, who heard this sentence from Yingzi, suddenly had his eyes light up.

Begging for votes, begging for votes,
