Chapter 322 - 148: Unity Weird

Most importantly, the Shen Bai before him didn’t waste a single word. He was decisive when killing his enemies, giving them no chance to counterattack.

’How could someone so meticulous, decisive, and powerful appear in Fenglin State? And why have I never heard of him before?’ Yang Feng wondered.

’So the legends about him are all true.’

At first, he’d thought them false, but now he was utterly convinced.

The tales of Shen Bai couldn’t be more real.

"Lord Shen, thank you for your help this time," Yang Feng said, clasping his hands in gratitude.

Even though it was a mission, Shen Bai’s willingness to come was a huge show of respect for the Xia Yunzhou Observatory.

As the Head of C, it was only natural for Yang Feng to express his thanks. He was also planning to thank Ouyang Sword.

Even though Ouyang Sword had done little more than watch since arriving, the fact remained that he came.

But before he could voice his thanks, Shen Bai raised a hand, cutting him off.

"Lord Yang, your thanks are a bit premature. This isn’t over yet."

"Not over?" Yang Feng was completely baffled.

Then, he saw Shen Bai’s gaze shift to the iron cage and finally realized.

The man was dead and the problem was solved, but there was still an aberration left.

On the ground, the Beads formed from the souls of Liangshui County’s many citizens were shimmering.

Yang Feng’s reflexes were sharp. He snatched them up and held them protectively.

There was another battle coming. If these Beads were destroyed, the people of Liangshui County would be doomed.

Just as he did so, the needle that Long Lang had dropped on the ground suddenly flared with light.

Immediately after, the remnant soul on the thread flowed into the iron cage.

Soon, the humanoid aberration in the cage shot out its hands, grabbing the bars. Then, a series of furious roars erupted from its mouth.

"Hahaha, I’ve succeeded! I’ve succeeded!"

The iron cage began to twist. Hearing this voice, Shen Bai narrowed his eyes.

"This guy’s an expert with souls. It seems he’s not completely dead."

The Soul Master profession has a deeper understanding of the soul than any other, with all sorts of strange abilities.

So, Shen Bai wasn’t particularly surprised by this bizarre development.

As Shen Bai was speaking, the humanoid aberration in the cage shot a ferocious glare at him.

"You’re dead! I’ve succeeded!"

As its voice fell, the humanoid aberration’s aura surged, rising a full level.

Its power, originally comparable to the Meridian Realm, had now reached the Unity Realm—a terrifying leap.

The iron cage shattered in an instant. Mad ravings spewed from the aberration’s mouth, chilling all who heard it to the bone.

"It’s true! Aberrations can be controlled! Human consciousness can be infused into an aberration’s body, making them ours to command! I’ve finally succeeded!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The humanoid aberration’s crazed voice grew more and more unhinged.

Shen Bai stroked his chin. "He actually managed to succeed."

He had thought Long Lang’s experiment, just as Wang Tianxing had said, was deeply flawed and couldn’t possibly succeed.

But from the looks of it now, it seemed he really had done it.

But that thought had barely crossed his mind for half a second before the next scene left everyone dumbfounded.

The humanoid aberration suddenly clutched its head and began to wail in agony.

"Something’s wrong... My consciousness is fading... Why? Why can’t I take back control? No... Don’t erase my consciousness!"

"Aargh!"

With a final, blood-curdling scream, the sliver of humanity within the aberration was instantly extinguished, even as its aura continued to climb.

The aberrant aura returned in full force. What stood there was no longer Long Lang, but a truly terrifying existence.

The Unity Realm aberration’s eyes were icy, gleaming with a soul-stealing light.

Shen Bai shook his head. "Looks like he failed after all."

Yang Feng’s face was beaded with sweat. "Lord Shen, we need to fall back, now! This is beyond our ability to handle. Whether he failed or not, now’s not the time to discuss it!"

He found it strange.

At the beginning, Shen Bai had been extremely decisive. Why was he suddenly so talkative now?

At the very beginning, before the aberration reached the Unity Realm, they might have been able to deal with it.

But now, Yang Feng saw no hope at all.

Shen Bai gave Yang Feng a strange look. "Lord Yang, aberrations are actually easier to deal with than people."

Yang Feng was stunned. Then he noticed that Ouyang Sword, standing beside him, was perfectly calm, as if he didn’t consider this Unity Realm aberration a threat at all.

’What’s with these two? Are they both fearless lunatics?’ Yang Feng thought.

Ouyang Sword seemed to read Yang Feng’s mind and said calmly, "With Brother Shen here, it’s just a mere Unity Realm aberration."

Yang Feng was utterly flabbergasted.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Shen Bai was only at the Meridian Realm. But this was a Unity Realm aberration right in front of them. Could they not see that?

Just as Yang Feng was thinking this, Shen Bai slowly took a step forward.

Before Yang Feng’s eyes, Shen Bai’s right hand began to glow with a golden Buddha’s Light as he reached for the humanoid aberration.

Activating Divine Thousand Miles and gaining the Explosive Speed Attribute, Shen Bai became a blur. He seized the humanoid aberration by the neck and slammed it brutally to the ground.

BOOM!

A crimson line of Sword Qi condensed, piercing straight through the aberration’s brow.

"This..."

Yang Feng was at a loss for words.

He stared, frozen like a wooden statue, as Shen Bai held the humanoid aberration pinned to the ground, completely dominating it.

Ouyang Sword clapped Yang Feng on the shoulder. "It’s alright. You get used to it after seeing it a few times."

Yang Feng’s mouth twitched slightly. "Are all the people from Fenglin State such monsters?"

Ouyang Sword said, "Only Brother Shen is like this. The rest of us can’t compare to him."
