Tara felt as if her arm had struck an unshakeable wall, and she was uncontrollably pushed back half a step.
The soldier didn't even flinch.
Lin Ci's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she looked.
This astonishing speed is clearly a characteristic of the Flying Shadow Legion.
The terrifying power contained in that attack just now far exceeded that of the most basic Ghost Shadow Legion.
Tara shook her numb arm, and for the first time, a serious expression appeared on her hunched face.
He roared, and his massive body unleashed astonishing speed as he launched an attack.
His fists whistled through the air as he rained down blow after blow on the soldiers in flying fish uniforms, like a storm.
The soldiers in flying fish suits neither dodged nor avoided the attack.
He simply raised his arms, precisely and effectively blocking each of Tara's attacks.
Tara's fist slammed into the soldier's body, producing only a series of dull metallic clangs.
The soldier's body simply leaned back slightly, instantly dissipating all the force without sustaining any injury.
The defensive capabilities of the Giant Shadow Clan.
Lin Ci had already made up her mind.
Tara grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed; her opponent's body was indestructible, and his defenses were impenetrable.
Those hands, which should have been made of flesh and blood, now resembled the sharpest blades.
Each block left a faint white mark on his thick arm.
The attack power of the Claw Shadow Gang.
Tara's powerful punch missed, and her body created a tiny opening due to inertia.
The soldier in the flying fish suit seized the opportunity.
His body twisted at an incredible angle, incredibly elastic, and instantly pressed close to Tara's embrace.
A swift, lightning-fast chop to the neck pierced Tara's chest.
The elastic body of the Soft Shadow Group.
Tara's heart pounded with alarm bells; he could sense that if this attack landed, he would definitely be injured.
Lin Ci could see that as the battle continued, the aura of the soldiers in flying fish robes not only did not weaken, but became stronger.
The growth attributes of the Shadow Eater Clan.
Chapter 32 The Shadow Legion Leaves This Realm
Lin Ci spoke up and stopped this unequal duel.
He still had questions.
"Where are the forces of the Pliers Shadow Gang and the Scythe Shadow Gang?"
Just then, the soldier in the flying fish robe withdrew from his attack stance.
He slowly raised his right hand and made a fist in the air in front of him.
A pitch-black shadow began to rapidly condense, lengthen, and take shape in his palm.
A moment later, a strangely shaped longsword appeared in his hand.
The blade is long and slender, entirely black, as if forged from the purest shadows, exuding a chilling aura that sends shivers down your spine.
The blade's curve is both beautiful and deadly, bearing a resemblance to a scythe.
And at the point where the handle connects to the blade.
A menacing handguard, resembling the pincers of a giant beetle, firmly guarded the wielder's hand.
Lin Ci understood instantly.
It turns out that the powers of the Pliers Shadow Gang and the Scythe Shadow Gang have merged to form this weapon that can be shaped at will.
The soldier in the flying fish robe, wielding a long sword, underwent a dramatic change in his aura.
If he was a cheetah poised to strike just moments before, then now he is a god of war wielding a divine weapon.
Tara stared at the knife, feeling the deadly threat emanating from it, and her Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
He seized an opening, pushed off with his feet, and tried to create distance.
The soldier in the flying fish suit suddenly leaped up, defying gravity, and flew lightly into the air.
The flying ability of the Flying Shadow Group.
He looked down from his high vantage point, his long sword transforming into a black lightning bolt as it descended from the sky.
Tara had no way to avoid it.
He could only watch helplessly as the blade of death grew larger and larger in his pupils.
The cold blade stopped at his throat.
The entire study was deathly silent.
The soldier in the flying fish robe slowly sheathed his long sword, and the weapon made of shadows instantly turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated in his hand.
He bowed slightly to Tara, as if performing an ancient ritual.
Then, he turned around and walked back to Lin Ci, kneeling down on one knee again, the whole process happening silently.
Although Tara was defeated, the shock on her face was quickly replaced by an extreme excitement.
His muscles vanished instantly, transforming back into that illusory, ghostly head.
"Boss, this is absolutely perfect!"
Tara's voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"For a single soldier to fight me like this, this is the perfect Shadow Legion in my mind!"
Unexpectedly, the soldier in the flying fish suit who was kneeling on one knee heard these words and raised his head.
"I know the king wanted to test our strength, which is why I displayed all my abilities; otherwise..."
Tara asked instinctively.
"What else?"
At this moment, the soldier in his civil and military robes, who had been silent all along, gave the answer in his gentle voice.
"Otherwise, you will undoubtedly lose within five moves."
Lin Ci raised an eyebrow.
Are you so crazy?
Looking at Tara again, he not only showed no anger, but his smile deepened.
This feeling is like watching your most prized child achieve something beyond your wildest imagination.
Lin Ci looked at the two soldiers in front of him, whose appearance and temperament were completely different.
He felt that the name "Ghost Legion" could no longer be used.
That belongs to Tara's past.
And now, this brand-new army, with unlimited potential, belongs only to him.
"From today onwards, you will no longer be called the Ghost Legion."
Lin Ci's voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with undeniable authority.
"It is the Shadow Legion."
"The Shadow Legion, which belongs solely to me and obeys my commands."
He looked at the soldier dressed in a flying fish uniform.
"From today onwards, you will be called Taiyin."
He then looked at the soldiers dressed in civil and military robes.
"Your name is Sun."
The moon and the sun bowed their heads deeply at the same time, their voices carrying a newfound power.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing this name upon me."
“I know that the current Shadow Legion has its own independent consciousness, so the two of you will be in charge of the Yin and Yang Shadow Legions respectively.”
"From now on, you will be my right-hand man."
The moon and the sun bowed to each other once again.
"He was determined to relieve the king's worries and difficulties."
The Holy Lord and Tara exchanged a glance.
They are his right-hand men, so what are we?
Tara couldn't help but speak up.
"And what about the two of us?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ci turned his head, a slight smile appearing on his face.
"You two are my most powerful weapons; I only use you in crucial moments."
Hearing that they were so important, both the Holy Lord and Tara felt a little elated and straightened their souls in unison.
Father's voice broke the brief harmony at that moment.
Are you leaving?
Lin Ci was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded, a hint of reluctance appearing on her face.
"Yes, Dad. Is there anything else I can help you with before I leave?"
The old man waved his hand, a tired but gentle smile on his face.
