Shadow Hack
chapter-414

When Zheng Quan had revealed all of his strength without holding anything back, He Miao, Wang Ru, and the others who had been restless from the start were completely stunned.

It showed up that among those who kept their presence low and didn't stood out wasn't only Li Yunmu, but also Zheng Quan. At least, given Zhang Yuan's strength, it would've been impossible for him to preserve for a whole hour against all the insect monsters.

Descenders from Earth? What sort of existence are they?

At that moment, all the survivors were completely astonished. But the more they knew, the more restless they became.

In the end, Wang Ru summoned her courage and asked, "Yunmu, how do you plan to deal with us?"

"I haven't decided yet. You should know that since you have learned the secret of this island, then regardless of who stood in my place, they wouldn't let you reveal the secret to the world," Li Yunmu said after a moment of being quiet.

If he could choose, he naturally wouldn't involve Wang Ru, He Miao as well as the honest Lu Zhong in his schemes, but the matter at hand was just too important. He couldn't show the slightest mercy.

"I understand. In the end, you are also the same as Zheng Quan and Zhang Yuan and want to kill us?" He Miao said with an extremely bitter expression. Hearing it, the faces of others turned deathly white in an instant.

But they didn't show any resistance. Regardless of whether it was Zhang Yuan or Luo Honghua or even Zheng Quan who struggled until the end, their instincts told them that this matter was already settled. Any resistance would be nothing more than a waste of energy.

"Silencing you is obviously the best course of action, but I won't do that. You can all reside on this island."

Li Yunmu's words relieved everyone. However, when they remembered that they couldn't return to the Origin World, not even step out of the island, their excitement dampened.

But they were still very fortunate. If in the battle between Zheng Quan, Zhang Yuan, and Li Yunmu, the final victor would have been anyone else except Li Yunmu, they most likely wouldn't have had any chance to keep their lives.

"You, you, you, and you. Choose a piece of land in the neighborhood and construct a wooden house there."

Compared to how politely Li Yunmu treated Wang Ru, He Miao, and Lu Zhong, he wasn't the least similar to the other four people who had betrayed the alliance and entered Zhang Yuan's faction at that time.

Li Yunmu didn't feel any goodwill toward such turncoats and naturally wasn't polite when asking the four of them to do something. He simply gave them a command.

The four of them were flux experts, so if they really were in a hurry, they had enough energy and strength to create a small wooden castle in a few days.

"Hey, I still have something to request from you." Suddenly, Lu Zhong who had been silent until then spoke up. "I hope that you can take good care of my family in the outside world."

"Alright, don't worry about that. At least from the financial side, I can assure you that they would face any problems," Li Yunmu replied after some thought.

"Then I can rest easy here." After receiving Li Yunmu's promise, Lu Zhong looked at him with appreciation.

The ways of the world were always strange. He was being grateful to a guy who had trapped him. Naturally, he understood that if it had been Zheng Quan or Zhang Yuan who'd taken control of the place, then not only would his family not be taken care of, there would have been no guarantee that they wouldn't be silenced just to make sure that no one asked questions. With that being the alternative, Lu Zhong felt quite fortunate, and being an honest person, he felt truly grateful toward Li Yunmu.

"Then let's do this. I won't put any restrictions on your movement, but I hope that you won't approach the center of the island with any nefarious thoughts."

After making arrangements for the three of them, Li Yunmu had no time to pay attention to the seven people and returned to the boundary stele. He sat down cross-legged near it and closed his eyes to rest.

Lately, he had used up too much energy. The first thing he did, however, was to dispatch the eight dimensional space eyes.

Now that Li Yun controlled the island, the magnified insect monsters would definitely not attack them. Thus, his first action was to use the dimensional space eyes so the system could gain a thorough understanding of the island's geography. The system then quickly got busy with the task.

After that, Li Yunmu finally settled down and began to investigate Danger Critical Extinguisher which he had comprehended previously. He knew it was something special, but the moment he opened its description, he was stunned.

The newly comprehended extinguisher wasn't just one move, but rather a set of seven. Of them, except for the first one, the others were hidden behind a black line with a question mark on top of it. They were completely unknown. In other words, Li Yunmu had only comprehended the first move of the seven.

After pondering it for a while, Li Yunmu finally asked, "System, what was the approximate level of the extinguisher's strength when I used it?"

[According to the total strength of the extinguisher as well as the strength displayed by you, if all of that strength was concentrated into one strike, then it could kill an initial level great flux master. The transformation of the Danger Critical Strike was caused mainly by flume thunder energy,] the system quickly replied.

When Li Yunmu heard it, his heart skipped a beat. Although he had prepared himself mentally, the system's evaluation still left him astonished by the strength of extinguisher's first move.

Initial step great flux expert… As long as he used extinguisher, he could kill such a person in one strike!

What did this imply?

The flux experts of the Origin World were far more formidable than Earth's fluxers. Even initial stage great flux masters were roughly comparable to Earth's Nirvana stage experts.

Before Li Yunmu had descended, Lin Yuerou had informed him that she had just risen to Nirvana realm from Temporal realm. He had believed that he would need a very long time before he could reach her level, but if he used Danger Critical Extinguisher, he could kill an expert on her level, which was only second to sages on Earth, without much trouble.

Nirvana level experts on Earth were considered to formidable. Because of that, Li Yunmu had never expected that he could reach it in such a short time after coming to the Origin World.

Middle stage great flux experts approached sage layer in strength. High stage great flux masters could beat new sages easily, and those in the great circle of great flux master realm were equivalent to his Earth's quasi deities.

With a quick calculation, Li Yunmu understood the strength of Danger Critical Extinguisher. But unfortunately, there were harsh requirements to use the skill.

Not only could it be triggered only under the most dire of circumstances, it also consumed all of his strength. Even if Li Yunmu could use a pinnacle technique like Major Reversal, he still wouldn't risk using that skill under normal circumstances.

Soon afterwards, Li Yunmu's gaze fell upon the newly comprehended shadow skill by Li Yun- Shadow Carapace.

After carefully investigating it, he became aware that the only reason why Li Yun had been able to dodge the tongues was because of the enlightenment he had gained from Image Substitution Evasion. From it, he had created his own skill, Shadow Carapace.

Simply speaking, Shadow Carapace was quite similar to Image Substitution Evasion. It was modeled exactly after that skill.

Because of that, the Li Yun which had disappeared in the stomach of the golden toad hadn't actually beenLi Yun, but the shadow carapace, his substitute.

But this shadow skill didn't have the evasion part of Image Substitution Evasion. Due to that, his newly comprehended technique could only allow him to cheat death; there was no follow up technique to allow him to escape using the opportunity.
