"Damn!"
Ye Xiao slowly stood up from the ground, his body already covered in wounds.
He had been locked in combat with the Shadow for an extended period now, and neither emerged victorious. Ye Xiao possessed numerous tricks up his sleeve, and so did the Shadow.
Ye Xiao had deployed his ⟪World Exterminating Fist⟫, ⟪Slaughtering Abyssal Claw⟫, ⟪Nine Hell Transformation⟫, ⟪All Poison Immunity⟫, and ⟪Teleportation⟫ abilities during the battle with the Shadow.
However, the Shadow had counters for all his abilities. It moved with incredible speed, wielded a poisonous touch, and easily countered the World Exterminating Fist while shattering the Slaughtering Abyssal Claw.
Most critically, the Nine Hell Transformation was a domain-type ability. When Ye Xiao activated this ability, expanding his domain to transform the cave into nine hells, he thought victory was within his grasp.
Unfortunately, he was dead wrong.
