Chapter 631: The Price of Fate

Chapter 631

The Shadowstream Cult, like the Brotherhood, is currently one of those secret sects that is not very popular. However, after the invasion of Noxus, they were treated much better. Under trauma, people's minds will always become extreme. It's just that some preconceived opinions still can't be changed, and they are still synonymous with darkness in the hearts of many people.

The main reason for all this is their leader, the Lord of the Shadow Stream, Calamity.

Zai is an orphan who was taken in and raised by the Bitter Masters of the Equilibrium Sect. Since childhood, Zai has shown extraordinary talent. He was able to quickly master and master all kinds of martial arts and magic of the Balanced Sect.

Born in the bitter cold, he has an endless passion for every skill. But there was always a shadow over his head. His elder brother, the son of the bitter master, Shen. The Equilibrium Sect, as the name suggests, follows the path of equilibrium.

Their martial arts, magic, and various cultivation methods all pay attention to the balance of offense and defense. The advantage does not pursue, and the disadvantage does not regress. Always maintain an impartial and neutral position. Even in the face of the invasion of Noxus, their attitude is somewhat ambiguous.

After he grew up, he followed his senior brother and teacher Kushuo Master, and everything was carried out once. They are tasked with tracking down a string of serial murders.

These murders have already killed hundreds of people. However, no matter how the armed guards, mercenaries, and bounty hunters searched for him, the murderer was never caught. The inhabitants of various places believe that a demon has lurked on the continent of Ionia.

Eventually, the Ionian Council of Zhiyun made a decision. Ask the elders of the Balance Sect to take action and hunt down that demon.

Master Kushu accepted this person's commission, took his son and disciples, and embarked on the road of chasing and killing demons.

Master Kushu is very experienced, and after examining some crime scenes, he noticed that these cases were different from what he imagined. Those who died were not the work of demons, they should have been the work of some evil human being.

Master Kushu decided to abandon this commission. Because tracking down a human being is not his job.

But the young Shen couldn't understand this idea at all. They have spent a lot of time and energy in order to hunt down the murderer. They persuaded their teacher to continue the investigation.

Finally, Robber and Shen set a trap and successfully captured the murderer. Sure enough, as the master of bitter talk said, the murderer was just an ordinary stage actor. Embers.

Angry Doom wants to kill Ember. But the bitter master stopped him.

He reminded his disciples that what they had done was beyond their duty, and that it would only get worse if they killed Ember again. (I don't see, where is it worse, what happens when you kill a psychopathic murderer?) )

In the end, Master Kushu forcibly suppressed the will of the two disciples. Captured Ember back to the monastery prison in Turem. Shen expressed his understanding of his father's actions. This result caused great damage to the heart of the robbery.

He couldn't understand that his respected master, the senior brother who was as close as a brother, would let go of such a perverted murderer. The seeds of hatred were planted in his heart. He began to crave more power, and went deep into the secret chamber of the Equilibrium Sect, opening a forbidden box.

A dark shadow power poured into his body. Brought him an ancient dark magic. He began to become more cold and powerful.

Soon after, war broke out. He stepped forward and took part in the fight against Noxus. And tried to convince his master to go out of the mountain. But the bitter master refused. In a fit of rage, the detached equilibrium sect. Embarked on the road of conquest.

During the war, he quickly gathered a group of loyal subordinates. Soon after, he returned to the Order of Equilibrium with his subordinates and demanded the box of dark magic that had given him the magic in the first place.

The bitter master laid down his weapon and persuaded his disciples to turn back. But in the end, only Zai made it out of the room alive.

Since then, the Equilibrium Sect has completely broken with the Shadow Stream Church. The two sides are in a situation of no end. In the latter part of the war, they had a brief truce. But as the war ended, the conflict quickly became fierce again.

Yasuo gave Su Yuan a rough account of the grievances between the Shadow Stream Sect and the Equilibrium Sect. It's similar to what Su Yuan knows, but it's more detailed. However, Su Yuan knew that the background of the Shadow Stream Sect was stronger than it seemed.

Despite robbing and killing his teacher, the previous Twilight Eye. But his senior brother Shen should have inherited that title. At the same time, Akali is still alive before the Shadow of this generation, plus the legendary Fury Heart. The balance of the three ninjas is actually all alive. The power of the Balance Sect is still unusually strong.

"It took a few days to get on the road." Yasuo took Su Yuan to the former Equilibrium Temple. The current base camp of the Shadow Stream Sect. The loss of the base camp is also a matter of course. After all, the idea of the Balanced Sect is to keep everything in one hand. How could it be that the steel was too ruthless and ruthless of the Shadow Stream Sect.

The Equilibrium Monastery is located at the foot of Mount Popo. In terms of shape, it is simple and rough, which is very in line with their balanced natural way. However, the interior has changed greatly under the transformation of the shadow stream. The current temple of Equilibrium is a typical military fortress.

Along the way, there are no less than 30 open and dark whistles. But in front of Yasuo, who has comprehended the way of the wind. Those sentinels are no match at all. Without Su Yuan's move, he was able to take Su Yuan to easily cross all the posts. Entered the confines of the temple of equilibrium.

But when he got here, Yasuo began to struggle. It's true that he's a good swordsman. But it is clear that it is still impossible to contend with the formed regular army.

The people of Shadow Stream, in the war with Noxus, also suffered heavy casualties. But it has forged an army that has seen blood. This is also the direct reason why the balanced church cannot do it. How could a disciple of the Equilibrium Sect, who requires a balanced cultivation of spirit and body, be able to defeat a veteran who has fought for many years and survived. And behind these veterans there is also the training of the shadow stream.

More than a dozen were dressed in black light armor. The samurai who used short knives surrounded Su Yuan and the others.

Yasuo nervously pressed the hilt of his sword. In the face of these elites, he can no longer guarantee that he will not kill people to break in. Along the way, the eccentric senior never made a move. Although the scene on the hillside at the beginning, the other party's gestures triggered the true meaning of the wind and made him have an epiphany overnight. But he didn't know the true combat power of this senior, so he was a little worried.

Su Yuan ignored Yasuo's careful thoughts. His focus was on the soldiers in front of him. They're all dressed up in close-fitting suits. Some plain black modular armor protects the arms, shoulders, and chest. The face is covered with a kind of mesh metal mask. It looks like there's an eerie feel to a metal ninja.

"Shadow Stream Forbidden Land, trespassers die." The other party didn't directly kill him. It is estimated that Yasuo has been keeping his hand before. They also gave a warning. This made Su Yuangao take a look.

Between the Brotherhood being a group of ruffians, he was also mentally prepared for Shadow to be a group of murderers. But now it seems that although they are secretive, they still maintain basic discipline. This is a very important point for an organization.

Reaching out and pressing the nervous Yasuo, Su Yuan stepped forward and said.

"No offense, but I would like to meet your leader."

"The leader sees no outsiders. Leave, this is not the place for you. A captain-looking man whispered.

"I see." Su Yuan said thoughtfully. Then he turned back to Yasuo and said.

"Put them all in, but try not to kill."

Captain opposite: "......"

Yasuo: "......" Although I don't know what exactly this senior understood. But he drew his sword and attacked it anyway. This time, though, Yasuo was a little embarrassed.

Because of the dozen or so soldiers on the opposite side, they showed extraordinary strength. They were nothing like the guards before them, they were a group of ninjas with some kind of shadow magic. Black phantoms crisscrossed the battlefield. More than a dozen shadow ninjas formed a shadow killing array. Yasuo was barely able to fight back.

Su Yuan shook his head as he watched from the sidelines.

"Is it difficult? Feeling like you can't tell the difference between a real and a fake one? ”

Yasuo: "There's a dark energy surging through their bodies, both the clones and the main body. This energy obscured their original breath. I can't accurately perceive their being. ”

"Really?" Su Yuan smiled softly. Then he picked up a few pebbles on the ground. The right hand pops up. With a whoosh, the stone was in the middle of a ninja who was shuttling through the shadow killing array. Then another ninja was hit.

Su Yuan stood in place like this, and randomly popped out five stones in a row. All of them hit the ninjas with precision, and none of them missed. Yasuo looked at Su Yuan in surprise. Because he didn't perceive any fluctuations in Su Yuan's spiritual power.

"The wind is very delicate and it can tell you so much more than you think. Feel it carefully and feel the subtle changes as the wind moves through each body. Su Yuan whispered to Yasuo.

Yasuo was thoughtful, he closed his eyes and fought the battle with only air flow perception. With a thud, he swung his sword to block a blow from the back of one of the ninjas, then turned around and stabbed another ninja in the shoulder. Immediately after that, he turned sideways and let a ninja who passed by the side attack, and scratched the opponent's thigh with his hand.

Yasuo's talent is really speechless. Su Yuan only needed a gentle guidance, and he would be able to take a big step forward immediately. Several ninjas shot a large number of shuriken at the same time from all directions. Yasuo leaned slightly, retracted his sword, and swung it again.

A circular tornado rose from the ground. It was also mixed with the spiritual power he had induced. Dozens of shuriken were swept into the sky by the wind. Along with the surrounding ninjas, they were swept away by the wind.

"Senior......" Yasuo was pleasantly surprised and wanted to show off his achievements to Su Yuan. But I only saw Su Yuan looking behind him with a painful face.

Yasuo suddenly realized something. Just as he wanted to turn around, there was a chill in his neck. At some point, a pitch-black wrist knife was already on his neck.

"Just defeated a bunch of minions and started to be proud. It's the base camp of the Shadow Stream. Do you think you've won? Su Yuan said angrily. I also secretly complained in my heart. (Could it be that Yasuo's waves are born?) )

"Call my shadow stream disciple a little minion. Your Excellency has a big breath. ”

It was the man who spoke that subdued Yasuo with one move. He's not very tall, he's average. The body type is that well-proportioned type. Wearing a piece of silver-black armor. The entire head is wrapped in a metal helmet, and the face is not visible. A pair of sharp wrist spikes extend from both arms.

As he spoke, he withdrew the wrist spur that was on Yasuo's neck and turned his attention to Su Yuan. Yasuo also retreated behind Su Yuan with some shame. In all fairness, if his strength is against the catastrophe, although it is unlikely to win. But it's not like you can't catch a single move. But it was indeed his carelessness before. And in battle, such a mistake is fatal. So he lost his heart and took it seriously.

Su Yuan put away the lazy mentality he had before, and carefully observed the robbery. This makes the other party a little uncomfortable. I always felt that the stranger in front of me seemed to see through his armor and see his true face.

"Tsk, it's already very serious. How much longer can you hold out? Su Yuan said suddenly. His words seemed to provoke the catastrophe.

Yasuo saw only a flash of darkness in front of him. When he came back to his senses, Su Yuan and the robbery in front of him had already appeared more than ten meters away.

This time, Yasuo finally saw the real shadow stream record.

I saw the master of the shadow stream, his body beating in the dark shadows. More than a dozen doppelgangers appeared on the field at the same time. And it's different from the previous ninjas who could only shoot Xu Huang once. All of these clones were able to attack at the same time.

But what was even more surprising was that 'Senior Su', facing the attacks of countless shadow stream shurikens. He was like a dancer, moving fast and slow, avoiding all shurikens. At the same time, he picked up a short knife that had been dropped by the ninja before. Blocked the attack of the robbery.

Zheng's body instantly turned into a wisp of black shadow and struck towards Su Yuan's face. The complete visualization of the entire body is the supreme meaning of the shadow stream. This move allows the Shadow Stream warrior to directly ignore physics and most of the magical defenses, and go directly into the opponent's body and soul. Complete a one-hit kill.

But this time, the robbery was miscalculated. The black shadow was like hitting the sun. Suddenly, a scream erupted, and then Zheng's body quickly appeared, and he took a few steps back in horror, looking at Su Yuan vigilantly.

"No way, what are you?"

"Hey, what you mean to say sounds a bit swearing!" Su Yuan said speechlessly.

"Why is your body immune to my shadow magic?"

"Isn't that weird? This shadow magic of yours takes into account the attributes of darkness, soul, and space at the same time. It's a kind of high-end inheritance. But obviously, you don't get the essence of it. ”

"Impossible, I've already completed all the cultivation of shadow magic, I ......" said here, suddenly stopped, as if realizing something.

"Huh. I'm sure you'd have realized something a long time ago. It's just that I don't want to accept it. But there are some things, it's not that you don't accept it, it will disappear.

I'll tell you a quote that I like very much. All the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with prices. ”
