Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1043: 642. Ten Directions World! _2

But at this moment, when he reached out to touch, he felt nothing beside him.

Chen Bing turned his head and saw a clump of dirt and gravel like a palm lifting the bamboo basket and fleeing into the distance.

“Thief!” Chen Bing was instantly dismayed.

Earlier, after Zard was injured, he had been lying weak on the ground, as if he had fainted.

But this guy wasn’t unconscious; he squinted his eyes to continue pretending, secretly controlling the sand to approach while the Chen Clan expert battled the shikigami.

Chen Bing wanted to chase after the bamboo basket.

But his feet suddenly sunk, and he saw the gravel on the ground transform into a large hand, holding him firmly.

Chen Bing’s movement to chase the bamboo basket was trapped by this sudden ambush!

Zard laughed cheerfully from a distance: “Three shikigami, three A-Class, plus me, four A-Class against you alone, not a loss. You dared to damage my boss’s Zhi Lanxing, you deserve it!”

This phrase was exactly what Chen Bing had said earlier, now Zard returned it just as it was.

Qing Chen was taken aback, not expecting this guy to hold such a grudge.

His whole arm was burned and glazed, yet he didn’t forget to take verbal advantage.

The next moment, the Skeleton Woman and Ma Mian Luo Cha suddenly broke away from the Imperial Guard’s strike, turning to rush towards Chen Bing.

With the Bone Sword in the Skeleton Woman’s hand plunging straight into Chen Bing’s neck, she hungrily pressed against it to sip the oozing blood.

Qing Chen shook his head, thinking Chen Bing was like a bookworm, lacking the combat instinct compared to Jindai Yunhe.

This might be the difference between experts who climb from the bottom and those raised in a greenhouse.

Jindai Yunhe’s rise was from real-life combat, while this Chen Bing cultivated in the city, painting with a Zhi Lanxing provided by Chen Yu, advancing rapidly.

However, without real-life killing experience repeatedly, even with high rank in the battlefield, facing experts of the same level will always expose weaknesses.

Of course, the difference in great power levels remains like a chasm across cultivators.

A-Class is A-Class.

B-Class is B-Class.

To fight across levels, unless you succeed in repeated sneak attacks like with Jindai Yunhe.

Just like no matter how comprehensive Qing Chen’s strength is, there’s little he can do against that Fire Element Awakener. If he were A-Class, he could extinguish it with a cloud gas, but being in B-Class, that small gap could cost a life.

For example, facing Chen Bing, even knowing his weakness is Chen Bing himself, similar to how Chen Clan’s cultivators and Onmyoji are weak in person, you couldn’t bypass those painted figures to kill him even if you knew.

At this moment.

Yet Bai Rongyi lowered his head, delivering Jindai Yunlo to the ground. This Jindai expert skillfully gouged out Chen Bing’s eyes, then looked at Qing Chen: “Is this corpse still useful?”

“Yes,” Qing Chen intended to sacrifice it to the Puppeteer; a corpse of an A-Class expert could add another string to the Puppeteer’s threads.

Now he could control three people simultaneously. If he sacrificed these two A-Class persons, he might directly control four.

The previous owner of the Puppeteer, in peak state, controlled 18 people, sweeping across the wasteland. Qing Chen seems to be catching up to that pace slowly.

Unfortunately, if he had A-Class now, he could have left Chen Bing and that Fire Element Awakener alive, forcing them to fight their way out directly.

On the other side, Yang Yang cooperated with the Hundred-Eyed Demon to suppress that Fire Element Awakener.

Qing Chen turned around, focused on observing, recalling that Jindai Yunlo wasn’t willing to easily summon the Hundred-Eyed Demon against Xu Linsen before; now was a good time to observe.

And Jindai Yunlo teased, “No need to look so seriously; are you observing the Hundred-Eyed Demon’s combat style for future dealings with me?”

Qing Chen shot a glance: “I am just curious about what makes this shikigami, for which you painstakingly gather eyes, powerful. We don’t need to treat each other as potential enemies yet, right?”

Jindai Yunlo laughed: “Actually, I’m a bit more fragile than typical A-Class, and when the Hundred-Eyed Demon collects more than half of the eyes, it’s about to break the threshold to demigod.”

“Hmm? Isn’t it said that gathering a hundred pairs of eyes could barely enter the low tier of demigods?” Qing Chen was puzzled.

Jindai Yunlo shook his head with a smile: “If collecting a hundred pairs of eyes from transcendents could only barely make a minor demigod, it wouldn’t warrant such effort on my part. Watch closely.”

That Fire Element Awakener, seeing Chen Bing dead, subconsciously cursed ‘waste’ in his heart, and then turned to flee.

However, it was too late to escape by then.

Only to see the Hundred-Eyed Demon, shrouded in a white robe and of enormous stature, move swiftly to block his path. This speed was still between A-Class and demigod, even leaving an afterimage visible to the naked eye.

The next moment, however, saw the Hundred-Eyed Demon’s sleeves fluttering, revealing sixty-three pairs of eyes on those two arms.

Each pair of eyes looked in different directions, each with their own thoughts, and each extremely agile, as if when Jindai Yunlo handed the eyes over to the Hundred-Eyed Demon, the souls of those deceased experts had been handed over as well!

In an instant, those eyes, originally looking in different directions, simultaneously turned and stared fiercely at that Fire Element Awakener!

Each eye surprisingly shed blood-red tears, as if dozens cried blood at once.

Jindai Yunlo whispered, “Ten Directions World.”

Qing Chen suddenly saw that in front of the Hundred-Eyed Demon, the Fire Element Awakener was forcibly stripped from the elemental state.
