The shadow turned back, its gaze complex as it looked at Luo Chen. Meanwhile, Zhao Dongfang seized this fleeting opportunity, agilely scaling a high wall, disappearing from their sight in an instant.

"Zhao Dongfang!" Luo Chen roared, but the only response was the echo of an empty street. He tightly gripped the Death Scroll, his eyes filled with a flash of anger and disappointment. He knew that allowing Zhao Dongfang to escape this time meant it would be difficult to catch him again.

The shadow didn't pursue Zhao Dongfang but instead slowly turned around to face Luo Chen. Though its visage was unclear, the cold aura it emanated made Luo Chen feel an inexplicable pressure.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, striving to calm his inner emotions. He realized that this shadow was obviously no ordinary enemy. At this moment, alone, he must respond with caution. He tightly clutched the Death Scroll in his hand, as if it were his only support and bargaining chip.

The shadow silently observed Luo Chen, seemingly waiting for something. Luo Chen was no less intimidated, staring right back, the atmosphere between them growing exceptionally tense. On this secluded and silent street, an unknown confrontation was about to unfold.

Luo Chen's voice echoed in the night sky, revealing a hint of urgency. However, the cold shadow was unmoved by his call, instead slowly advancing toward him. As the shadow approached, its wide black robe gradually unfurled, revealing the ghastly physique hidden within.

Under the dim streetlight, Luo Chen clearly saw the emaciated and bizarre frame. The features were twisted and grotesque, not resembling a normal human face. What startled Luo Chen the most was the empty eye sockets, devoid of eyeballs, just an abyssal darkness. The slender limbs had transparent fin-like structures at the joints, gently swaying with its movements, akin to a bizarre creature from the deep sea.

The creature twisted its neck, exhaling a puff of foul air. It raised its head with an expression of relish, inhaling deep draughts of the cool night air. This action caused Luo Chen to shiver involuntarily, retreating a few steps, overwhelmed by an inexplicable fear.

"Who are you?" Luo Chen attempted to maintain composure, though his voice inevitably unveiled a hint of intimidation veiled in bravado.

The creature's voice, hoarse and chilling, rang in the night like a fiend crawling from the Nine Nether Hell: "Leave the object behind, or... I'll kill you..." It emitted a damp and sinister aura, making one's hair stand on end.

However, this threat from the creature only stirred Luo Chen's fighting spirit. He resented being coerced and even more, hated being ignored. He chuckled coldly, taunting, "Oh really, go ahead and try to take it; I'm standing right here waiting for you!"

The creature roared lowly to the heavens, its aggressive aura suddenly surging. A bone-chilling breath rose from the ground, rushing at Luo Chen with fierce intensity. Luo Chen was startled, immediately bursting a blazing wind shield on his body surface. He swiftly unsheathed the Bloodlight Sword from his back, thrusting it at the creature at an oblique angle!

The sword light flickered, slicing through the night sky. The creature seemingly hadn't expected Luo Chen to counterattack so decisively; its figure flickered, dodging this fatal strike. However, this didn't make Luo Chen lower his guard, as he knew this battle was only just beginning.

The creature appeared enraged too, it swung its slender limbs, attacking Luo Chen fiercely. Each attack carried a chilling wind, as if attempting to engulf Luo Chen entirely. Nevertheless, Luo Chen didn't fear, he wielded the Bloodlight Sword, engaging in an intense battle with the creature.

Under the streetlamp, sword light and cold wind intertwined, emitting earsplitting metallic clash sounds. Luo Chen and the creature moved swiftly in the night sky, each encounter narrowly avoiding the other's strike. This battle tested not only their strength but also their reaction speed and fighting will.

As time passed, Luo Chen gradually discovered the creature's weakness. He utilized the flexibility of the wind flame, continuously changing the attack angles and tempo, overwhelming the creature. Finally, in a swift strike, Luo Chen successfully hit the creature's weak point, causing severe damage.

The creature let out a scream, retreating several steps violently. Its hollow eye sockets flashed with anger and unwillingness, yet seemed unable to continue fighting. Luo Chen didn't give it a chance to breathe, pursuing closely, defeating it thoroughly with one sword.

"Seeking death!" The creature uttered a low roar, its voice filled with rage and murder. Its slender arms suddenly stretched out, the fin-like structures flaring open instantly like jagged blades, shimmering with a chilling light, revealing a dangerous aura.

Two beams of sinister energy suddenly shot out, like black snake shadows raging in the night sky. Facing this unexpected attack, Luo Chen's expression remained unchanged, he shouted lightly, his body moved, leaping high. Holding tightly to the Bloodlight Sword, the blade glimmered with bewitching light, as if containing endless murderous intent.

Just at this moment, the wind flame on Luo Chen's body surface suddenly contracted, transforming into a sharp stream that propelled his body downward rapidly like a drill. This move not only enabled him to evade the creature's sinister attacks successfully but also displayed his superior body technique and adaptability.

The creature lost its target, roaring upwards in fury, a mouthful of somber foul air spouted from its mouth, soaring into the sky. This filth exuded a nauseating stench, seemingly carrying endless evil and curses.

Facing this foul sinister energy, a hint of coldness flashed in Luo Chen's eyes. He snorted angrily, the Bloodlight Sword in his hand burst forth with even more dazzling brilliance. He sliced through the air, the sword light arcing like a rainbow, tearing through the dark night sky, leaving behind a scarlet long rainbow. This long rainbow exuded a divine descent aura, ripping through the filth, slashing towards the creature's grotesque face.
