Hearing her speak, no one in the Gong dared to neglect and they all agreed in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away from the location of the Gong of the Heavy Sun...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing successfully found Zhong Jian, who had already successfully intercepted the fleeing Shadow Demon. The two were engaged in a fierce battle just like a shadow puppet show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were Shadow Demons, and neither had a real humanoid form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting was just two shadows tangled, with the momentum of the fight relatively small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t even affect the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were an ordinary Venerable’s battle, if they didn’t cause the mountains to crumble and the ground to shatter, they would be unworthy of their cultivation at the Thirteenth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Demons are Shadow Demons, without a body, they are just two shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rules they can control also only have a minimal impact on the outside world like the shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the cultivation level of mid-Venerable, Zhong Jian was completely dominating the other Shadow Demon during the fight, but he didn’t dare to be the slightest bit slack and was always going all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he himself is a Shadow Demon, if he doesn’t hold on tight the person might run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the truth is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it wasn’t for Li Jing using the Unnamed to impose the rule of the black night, which had some effect on the female Shadow Demon named Bianxi, he might not have been able to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that those two Venerables did not chase the runner from the Gong of the Heavy Sun was because they understood that they couldn’t catch up with someone who was determined to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Jing arrive, Zhong Jian’s face lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was that he was not sure how long he could stall Bianxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Jing delayed coming over from the Gong and he was not able to hold on, there was a good chance that some people would really go after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little bitch Bianxi, our master is here, why don’t you surrender quickly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a weird cry, Zhong Jian’s attack became even more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being one whole Small Realm apart, and also the Venerable level Small Realm at that, the gap between Bianxi and Zhong Jian’s strength can be described as a huge gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crux of the matter is that they are both Shadow Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Demons don’t have many fancy skills. Their realm is directly linked to the rules they control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they are the same species, with the same rules, it’s obvious that the one with the higher realm is stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Struggling to fend off Zhong Jian’s fierce attacks, Bian Xi was both appalled and anxious, cursing out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhong Jian, don’t you take too much pleasure in this! Even if I die here today, you will not live much longer either! Once Shadow Honors Alone knows of your defection, he will definitely kill you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing arrived and saw that Zhong Jian’s attacks compelled Bian Xi to retreat continuously. He ignored what was being said between the other two. He sat in void space, took out the Taoist tool, Unnamed, and drew out his Snow Sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, ding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strings vibrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient magical music took effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ninth-level ambitious song from Sky Music Pavilion, \"Night Falling,\" was being played.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agressive \"Night Falling\" was extremely terrible, combined with the rules of sound, ice, and snow controlled by Snow sound. As soon as the prelude sounded, it transformed daylight into pitch-dark night and immediately created a winter wonderland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the freezing temperature could freeze everything, filling the void space with bone-chilling murderous notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Jian and Bian Xi, both the shadow demons without physical forms, were affected by the freezing temperature, slowing their movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Jian was okay, but Bian Xi was really suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold did not overall affect her much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the sound filled with a bone-chilling murderous intent seemed to want to grind her into dust directly. Every note struck her God Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Demons are not living beings and do not possess vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, they do have a God Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, they exist in a form similar to God Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the God Soul is ground to dust, the Shadow Demon ceases to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Xi was trembling with fear facing such a musical attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Demons can be immune to physical attacks, but they don’t resist odd techniques like this musical attack very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The music Li Jing played was not just extremely dangerous, but he also had a Taoist tool in his hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This couldn’t continue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed to find a way to escape as soon as possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Xi was incredibly anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before she could even think, a loud \"rumble\" came from the sky, and a black thunderbolt split the sky and directly hit her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a painful scream, Bian Xi’s body became fragmented and nearly extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enduring the \"Night Falling\" played by Taoist Snow Sound, while also confronting Zhong Jian’s attacks, left her completely unable to divert her attention to other matters. She had absolutely no preparation when the thunder came down out of the blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Heavenly Punishment that had struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the power of Heavenly Punishment was bearable to her who was just at the beginning of her entry into the Venerable Realm, she took significant damage due to being unprepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she got hurt, the effect of \"Night Falling\" on her immediately increased several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Jian’s eyes lit up when he saw this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bian Xi, take your punishment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his shadow body turned into a large net, and it suddenly enveloped Bian Xi as if intending to completely swallow her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, who was playing the ancient powerful song, lowered his eyes and plucked a string with force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A change in the notes affected Zhong Jian, who had previously been unaffected by the sound attack in \"Night Falling.\" Zhong Jian unpreparedly had over a thousand points of his health bar cut off in that moment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned by this, Zhong Jian was filled with questions and paused his attack, turning his head around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s roughly finished. Leave her to me, don’t interfere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing spoke indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother, if you have something to say, say it. Couldn’t you refrain from hitting an ally like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, facing Li Jing, how could he dare to say it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at Bian Xi, who was equally affected by the change in tune, her shadow-body nearly disintegrating and blinking faintly, showing clear signs of weakness, Zhong Jian silently backed off and returned to Li Jing’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Bian Xi’s condition couldn’t be any worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Heavenly Punishment, which she could have withstood, was too lethal...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did it shatter her shadow form, but the Power of the Thunder Punishment also prevented her from attempting to restructure her form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the attack from \"Night Falling\" was continually affecting her; the health bar above her head, originally at around eighteen thousand, had dropped drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As \"Night Falling\" continued to play, Bian Xi’s health bar quickly emptied, and the shadow form that had been struck disappeared quietly as if it had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a prompt appeared in front of Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Essence Source +3082285.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Level up, 249. Strength of Thunder Punishment +498, Skill Points +2.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Level up, 250. Strength of Thunder Punishment +500, Skill Points +2.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Level up, 251. Strength of Thunder Punishment +502, Skill Points +2.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the prompts, Li Jing smiled, put away Snow Sound, and stood up looking at Zhong Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no need for you next. You should have heard of Chen Tang City; it’s a force I established. Go report there and find some of my Taoist Companions to see if they need your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he waved his hand and tore open a hole in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhong Jian was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was not required next, he could understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the whole Cangming Realm, there were only him and Bian Xi, Venerable Realm shadow demons, while the rest were all below the Twelfth Realm; Li Jing could handle them on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, why is Li Jing not letting him return to Little Universe to continue studying the Heritage Stele?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to ask but didn’t dare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding silently, Zhong Jian entered the space portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending him away, Li Jing opened another void rift, and stepped into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping his Body of Thunder Punishment at the third grade, he appeared in front of the gate of the Star God Temple, the second \"Experience Zone\", which made the sky and earth a little greyer.\u003C\u002Fp>",4579,"2026-06-06T07:41:57.851Z",1,"novelbin.me","553649d6980fe7c9da8d333b52f1b641d81bc8a40a4b8bfbad51e8ccbd440e3e","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-511","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-509",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
