Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1498: Chapter 813: Beyond Demigod

In the history of the Federation, Li Shentan had died in a catastrophe a thousand years ago.

Very few people knew of Li Shentan’s existence, but he hadn’t really disappeared.

In the Federation, too many people had tried to upload their consciousness to the internet to achieve immortality, only to be killed by Li Shentan.

Those researchers didn’t even know what had happened, thinking it was just their technology that wasn’t mature enough.

No one ever guessed who was behind all this.

So when Li Shentan once again appeared wearing a splendid tuxedo, it was a surprise to everyone.

He had been gone for so long that no one had a clear idea of his combat power; they could only speculate.

“I don’t know where you got this body, but the history recorded within the Chen Clan cannot be wrong. The flesh of the Demon Whisperer, Li Shentan, perished a thousand years ago,” Zhong Yu analyzed slowly. “So, since this body is a substitute, you shouldn’t be able to display your full strength.”

Li Shentan listened with a smile and did not refute: “Go on.”

Zhong Yu: “Moreover, you should also be facing the crisis of assimilating with the world, right? You just made a move; you probably don’t dare to act again now, huh? Hehe.”

Li Shentan asked with interest, “So, do you dare to underestimate a predecessor with 85% assimilation with the world just based on these guesses? You’ve finished guessing my strength; now let me guess yours… I guess that after you forcibly devoured your brother’s spiritual will, you were compelled into slumber, without a chance to familiarize yourself with the power you gained, right?”

The next moment, this magician from a thousand years ago took off his hat, lightly shook his wrist, and a rustling sound followed.

From that magical hat, hundreds of white doves flew out, flapping their wings towards Zhong Yu.

Strangely, those doves had blood-red eyeballs and tails as black as ink, unlike the normal doves handled by magicians, they were unusually fierce.

In the night’s darkness, the Scarlet Hand appeared, trying to smash these eerie white doves.

But just as seven or eight Scarlet Hands appeared, the flock of doves suddenly dispersed, causing all the Scarlet Hands to miss!

Just like when Yi piloted the Kingslander and launched an aerial battle unhesitatingly.

This Li Shentan precisely controlled the doves, showcasing powerful micro-control like a swarm of drones, rendering whatever mighty force you have easily defused by this control ability.

The doves spiraled and darted in the air, elusive with no trace.

With a loud bang, hundreds of doves collided with Zhong Yu, exploding into masses of white gas, propelling Zhong Yu more than ten meters away.

Zhong Yu, caught mid-flight by the Scarlet Hand, stood on the large hand, rising into the air.

Despite his clothes being in tatters, with blood dripping all over his body, his expression suddenly turned excited.

“So this is a demigod who has lived a thousand years; it’s nothing much, hehe,” Zhong Yu said with a smile.

However, although he said this, he did not choose to attack Li Shentan head-on, instead using the Scarlet Hands controlling the Lian People, gripping fiercely!

Some of the more powerful Lian People suddenly had their internal organs squeezed to bleeding; those less powerful immediately died tragically on the spot.

Even those Gold Corpses creaked under the grip.

In just an instant, more than half of the Lian People were dead or wounded; more than twenty Gold Corpses stood powerless against this newly-ascended demigod.

Zhong Yu laughed on the Scarlet Hand, “Will you go save them first, or come fight me first? Hehe.”

The Scarlet Hand couldn’t hit Li Shentan, but it could hit others!

A demon who claims to care for his brother yet devours the other’s spiritual will is not worried about the righteousness of his means; he only needs to maximize the benefits!

In Zhong Yu’s view, the opportunities for Li Shentan to act were definitely limited; he just needed to stall a bit longer until Li Shentan had to retreat to slumber again.

He understood the critical point, he had his judgment.

At this moment, Zard shouted to Chen Jiazhang, “Save the people!”

Chen Jiazhang suddenly awakened from his hypnosis, immediately rushing like mad towards Lian Peng.

A Scarlet Hand reached for him, but he met it head-on without a flinch, crashing through the Scarlet Hand with his body, continuing to run towards Lian Peng.

Lian Peng struggled, saying, “Get lost, I don’t need your help.”

Chen Jiazhang laughed bitterly, “I’m saving you; what does it have to do with you?”

Along the way, the Scarlet Hands continually dealt heavy blows to him, yet this knight repeatedly rose to rescue Lian Peng.

Zard also wanted to save people, but the Scarlet Hand manifested in the air swatted him flying early on, with Zhong Yu sneering, “I didn’t kill you, but you should know your limits… Li Shentan, are you going to save these people first, or fight me first?”

However, Zhong Yu suddenly noticed a smile on Li Shentan’s lips, this magician said with a smile, “Have you forgotten? I was also once a demon… Back in the day, my name as a demon was far louder than yours.”

As he finished speaking, Li Shentan didn’t care about the Lian People, instead drawing a deck of playing cards from his chest and scattering them towards the sky.

The fluttering playing cards seemed not to be fifty-four in a deck, but fifty-four thousand, falling like a curtain of rain, swirling around Zhong Yu in the air like a tornado.

Zhong Yu stood at the center of the tornado, enveloped in low pressure.

He tore off his shirt, revealing his fit muscles and scars on his upper body, “Open!”
