“Hehe, it's useless. Swords can't hurt shadows, you know.”
Elementalization?
The term suddenly popped into Gu Qingfeng's mind.
He wasn't convinced, so he pointed his sword at the Shadow Demon and roared in a low voice, “Qingmu Prison Dragon!”
Countless black-glowing vine chains shot toward the Shadow Demon, attempting to bind it.
However, the vines all passed straight through the Shadow Demon as if it were a mere shadow.
“Don't you get it yet?” The Shadow Demon felt its confidence returning, the intoxicating sense of victory filling it.
“I am a shadow. Do you think there's anything in this world that can hurt a shadow?”
Gu Qingfeng's brows furrowed deeper. Could it be true, as the Shadow Demon claimed, that it was just a shadow? If so, it could defend against any physical or magical attack. After all, how do you fight something without a physical form?
Weapons didn't work, and neither did fire.
If this was the case, the Shadow Demon's ability was downright overpowered. It could ignore all attacks, making it even more terrifying than the Mirror Demon's replication ability.
Gu Qingfeng suddenly understood why the Mirror Demon couldn't defeat the Shadow Demon. The latter could just stand still and let you attack, knowing you couldn't kill it. It would simply wait for your Yin Domain to collapse due to energy depletion.
After all, maintaining a Yin Domain required energy.
At this moment, Gu Qingfeng became curious about the leader of the Seven Demon Generals. The Mirror Demon had the ability to replicate, while the Shadow Demon could elementalize and ignore attacks. These two were already insanely powerful, yet there was still a leader above them.
The Mirror Demon, with its arrogant nature, dared only to vie for the second position, not the first. Clearly, it knew it wasn't worthy.
This made Gu Qingfeng ponder: Above the Seven Demon Generals was the Blood Demon, a master above all masters. How terrifying must that be?
But the most absurd part was that such a collection of monsters had been defeated by the Demon Suppression Bureau and the righteous alliance.
So, humanity wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.
“Dear brother, I suggest you give up. There's no one alive who can kill me. Why don't you tell me how you managed to resist the Blood Poison Blood Luminous? Maybe I'll be so pleased that I'll leave you with a whole body.” The Shadow Demon giggled.
Gu Qingfeng chuckled in response, “What a coincidence! There's no demon alive who can kill me either.”
“Oh? Still talking tough even as you face death?” The Shadow Demon sneered coldly.
The next moment, something strange happened.
Gu Qingfeng suddenly felt a surge of killing intent from behind him, yet the Shadow Demon was still in front of him.
Confident in his skills, he turned around.
The source of the killing intent was his own shadow!
His shadow seemed to have come alive, wielding a shadow-made sword, the Wood King Sword, and stabbing it into Gu Qingfeng's chest.
Ding!
Host attacked by Shadow Demon.
Shadow Attribute +100
“Is that all?” Gu Qingfeng smirked dismissively.
He let his shadow continue stabbing him, the notification sound continuously ringing.
The Shadow Demon's eyes flashed with surprise. “What a strong body. Is this your confidence? Then... take this!”
The Shadow Demon disappeared from its spot as before, and even with Gu Qingfeng's sharp eyes, he couldn't catch a glimpse of it. It was as if it had teleported.
“Shadow Blade!”
The Shadow Demon's eerie voice came from behind Gu Qingfeng.
Clang!
A dagger made of shadow sharply pierced his back, producing a metallic clash.
Ding!
Host attacked by Shadow Demon.
Shadow Attribute +1000
Congratulations, host's Shadow Attribute has exceeded the limit, gaining the ability【Shadow Swap】
As the notification sounded, a stream of information flowed into Gu Qingfeng's mind. After receiving it, he was overjoyed.
【Shadow Swap】: Can teleport between connected shadows.
With this ability, Gu Qingfeng immediately understood how the Shadow Demon had appeared behind him so quickly. It was using Shadow Swap!
Gu Qingfeng had a shadow, so the Shadow Demon had used Shadow Swap to instantly appear at his shadow.
This was the power of Shadow Swap, also known as teleportation within shadows. However, there was a prerequisite: the shadows had to be connected.
For example, if two people were far apart, their shadows would be under their feet and not touching. In that case, Shadow Swap couldn't be activated. But once the shadows were connected, one could teleport to the other's shadow instantly.
At this thought, Gu Qingfeng suddenly paused.
Wait, that's not right!
Earlier, I was not close to the Shadow Demon, and my shadow couldn't have been connected to his. How did it teleport behind me?
Suddenly, Gu Qingfeng noticed the shadows covering the room and instantly understood.
This was the rule of the Shadow Demon's Yin Domain.
The entire Yin Domain was covered in shadows!
This meant the Shadow Demon could teleport infinitely within its own domain!
No wonder it activated its Yin Domain before attacking. Unlike the Mirror Demon's domain, which was strange, the Shadow Demon's domain simply covered everything in shadows.
All of this was preparation for Shadow Swap.
However, wasn't the Shadow Demon too overpowered? Ignoring attacks was one thing, but being able to teleport infinitely within its domain? That was maxed-out escape ability.
Moreover, wasn't a shadow just the darkness created when an object blocks light?
That would mean all darkness is a shadow?
Teleporting infinitely at night?!
Gu Qingfeng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. How did the righteous alliance win against such a monster?
But after a moment, Gu Qingfeng calmed down. Infinite teleportation? I can do that too!
“Your body actually withstood my Shadow Blade, which is comparable to a master's strike?” The Shadow Demon exclaimed in shock.
For a creature with maxed-out escape ability, its biggest weakness was insufficient attack power. The Shadow Blade was already its strongest attack. Because of this, the Shadow Demon had developed a habit of poisoning its enemies and rarely fought directly.
But now, even its strongest attack couldn't harm Gu Qingfeng, and it began to consider retreating. Maintaining the Yin Domain required energy, and it couldn't keep Gu Qingfeng trapped in its shadow domain for long.
Besides, this was Wutong Prefecture, and the Demon Suppression Bureau wasn't far. The fluctuations of the Yin Domain might attract a master.
Although it was night, it could rely on shadow transformation and Shadow Swap to teleport and escape, both abilities had a fatal weakness. While two hundred years had passed, and those who knew this weakness were likely dead, there was no guarantee that the knowledge hadn't been passed down.
Having been defeated once before, it didn't want to fall again.
As it thought, its desire to retreat grew stronger.
Gu Qingfeng, sensing its intention to flee through his spiritual perception, was ten thousand times unwilling. Just as he had gained the ability to Shadow Swap, the Shadow Demon wanted to escape? Not a chance!
It seemed it was time to test his acting skills.
Suddenly, Gu Qingfeng clutched his chest, fell to one knee, and looked pale with cold sweat pouring down his face. “What a fast blade!”
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
