Chapter 588: Chapter 246: Unlocking Talent: Commander! Strange Human Skins! (Mega Chapter)_3

...

In the distance.

Jiang Shi hid his aura, pushing his Disguise Talent to the limit, sitting cross-legged in the shadow of a rooftop, appearing as nothing more than a true darkness.

His gaze continually swept over the scene, capturing every detail of the streets ahead.

Suddenly, his eyes tightened, as he noticed a tall man and woman nearby.

"It’s her; she indeed has come!"

Jiang Shi’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Undersea Saintess!

But who is the man beside her?

Jiang Shi pondered for a moment.

Not long after, the man and woman vanished again.

As time passed.

Night soon fell.

Clouds covered the moon.

The entire ancient city was enveloped in absolute silence, oppressively dark with no light or sound, as if it had become a dead city.

Dark, lonely.

With a faint sense of oppression.

Jiang Shi still hadn’t found where the Celestial Demon Sect members gathered.

Eventually, he decided to stop searching and quietly sat cross-legged on a hidden rooftop, choosing to wait patiently.

After all, tomorrow was the day the Celestial Demon Sect Leader would face the Zhuo Family Patriarch.

Then he won’t lack the chance to see the Celestial Demon Sect Leader.

Some time passed.

Around midnight.

The originally silent, dead city suddenly erupted with an exceedingly piercing scream, as if someone encountered an enormous terror at the brink of death.

"Everyone be careful, there’s... Ah!"

The voice was abruptly cut off, disappearing completely.

In an instant, elites hiding in rooms and areas turned pale in shock, almost immediately preparing themselves.

A few individuals even leapt out of their rooms, landing on the rooftop area, beginning to use advanced martial arts, gazing into the surrounding darkness.

However, the scream sounded only once, and there was no further commotion afterward.

Everyone furrowed their brows, pondering, before returning to their rooms.

Even Jiang Shi under the eaves, showed suspicion, scanned his surroundings, finding nothing, and chose to continue his repose.

...

In another direction.

In the dark, silent city.

Inside a dim room.

Several eerie figures gathered, lacking any aura, making it impossible to sense anything unusual, even their appearances were incredibly strange; upon closer inspection, these people were evidently strange human skins.

These human skins appeared almost as if they had flesh and blood, like real humans.

"Damn, almost exposed, Wang Bo, you nearly ruined things!"

An eerie human skin cursed softly.

"I didn’t expect this guy to be so difficult. I had already taken him down, yet at the critical moment, he reappeared with a desperate strike. I’ll be more careful in the future."

Another eerie human skin, face showing a dark hue.

"The experts gathered this time are quite numerous. It’s a rare feast; such substantial vitality, the master will certainly be delighted, but we must not be exposed. If this is revealed, it will be a huge problem for us!"

The previous eerie human skin said in a low voice.

"Understood, this time Wang Bo was just careless. We wouldn’t be as careless as Wang Bo!"

"Exactly, there’s currently nothing in this world that Senluo Hall cannot accomplish, hehe..."

The other human skins chuckled softly.

"Enough, caution is always wise. Now let’s disperse immediately and continue collecting vitality!"

The previous eerie human skin instructed.

"Hmm."

Companions nodded in agreement, immediately flashing by, like merging into the darkness, disappearing swiftly, darting towards various directions in the small city.

These human skins were incredibly bizarre, flying out without making a sound, appearing like gusts of wind or sand.

Anyone with abundant vitality appeared as a torch in the night to them, no matter what Secret Technique they possessed, they could be clearly captured from afar.

"Hehehe..."

A strange laughter echoed as several human skins flashed by, faces of top-notch experts in several rooms changed continuously, instantly enveloped by a weird black mist.

The black mist swept through, leaving only skeletal remains behind.

These eerie human skins moved swiftly, once sweeping through these rooms, immediately darting towards other directions quickly.

So one expert after another was silently slain, as they moved through, engulfed by eerie black mist.

Throughout all this, no one within the city sensed anything amiss from beginning to end.

...

Jiang Shi under the eaves suddenly shivered, eyes opening once more, gaze heavy as he scanned the darkened city.

For some unknown reason, he felt a sudden chill.

As if the air suddenly cooled several degrees.

"It’s three in the morning now."

He raised his head, judging the time.

As he prepared to continue his concealment, his body suddenly stiffened, lightning-fast turning his head, with eyes emitting two frightening flashes of lightning.

Not far behind him, within the darkness, there drifted an eerie human skin, twisting and contorting, face strangely wicked, corner of the mouth with an odd smile, indescribably bizarre.

The next instant!

He felt his mind shake, tumultuous waves, as if an invisible force of confusion penetrated his mind, attempting to influence his consciousness, shocking his soul.
