Chereads / Non-Deity's Theatrical Whispers / Chapter 118 - The Sole Scarlet

Chapter 118 - The Sole Scarlet

As the bloody figure was slammed into the ground, an endless tide of shadows followed, with dense clusters of shadow centipedes rushing onto Han Meng's body, tearing into his flesh, piled up almost as high as a small mountain from afar.

The next moment, the peak of shadow exploded, and a large number of centipedes were deconstructed into nothingness under continuous gunfire. A figure shot out like a cannonball, charging irresistibly towards the distant valley!

Just then, the massive shadow centipede mother blocked Han Meng's path.

Han Meng's bloodstained face revealed no significant emotional fluctuations, nor any despair. His hand wiped behind his waist, and a short knife flew out, turning into a cold flash and rushing rapidly towards the mother's head!

Long, thin shadows sprayed out from the holes in the mother's head, instantly capturing the shadow of that short knife, which froze in mid-air. Han Meng's body rushed rapidly towards the mother, and his hand lightly wiped the surface of the restrained short knife.

"Judgment," he said coldly.

Boom——!!

The short knife vibrated, and the power of judgment instantly deconstructed the surrounding shadows into nothingness, turning into a lightning bolt that opened a bloody gash in the mother's torso, and a sharp scream immediately resounded through the sky.

Han Meng raised his hand, and the short knife automatically flew back into his palm. He took the opportunity to leap over the mother's blockade and used his last strength to head towards the valley.

Just then, the fierce wind swept over him again!

More than ten bone spines instantly pierced through Han Meng's body. He grunted, and his body suddenly slowed down. He endured the pain and turned around, firing several shots at the rapidly approaching bone eagle, forcing it back into the air, while he stumbled backward.

Under the joint siege of two fifth-tier disasters, Han Meng's body had reached its limit. Even those potential fifth-tier law enforcement officers in the Aurora City couldn't last this long... Unfortunately, no one witnessed his persistence and perseverance.

"I was just a little bit away..." Han Meng felt the tumultuous breath within his body, and a trace of bitterness appeared in his eyes.

Several pieces of sandstone rolled off his feet and fell into the narrow valley.

The pierced shadow centipede roared angrily, and its massive body rushed rapidly. The pale skeletal giant eagle circled in the air for a moment and likewise dived down, its sharp beak tearing through the air, emitting bursts of sound waves.

The auras of the two fifth-tier disasters were like irresistible waves of anger, crashing like a tidal wave!

Han Meng took a deep breath, dragged his wounded body, and leaped backward. His body was like a stubborn rock falling off a cliff.

This valley was extremely narrow, only about one meter long. Looking up from the bottom of the valley, even the sky was just a line... The massive body of the shadow centipede squeezed alongside the cliff for a long time but could only push half of its head into it. As for the larger bone eagle, it could only poke its beak in.

They angrily collided with the cliffs on both sides, and the entire valley was slightly trembling. Dense debris rolled down from the cliff top but didn't completely collapse.

Han Meng's body was falling rapidly. The height of over 200 meters made the two disasters quickly move away from him. Just when he was about to crash into the bottom of the valley, his last spiritual power was exhausted, and his body flew up several meters again before crashing to the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The bone spines were embedded deeper into his body. Han Meng lay weakly on the ground, coughing violently, and scarlet blood flowed continuously from the corner of his mouth...

He looked at the narrow sky above his head. The two disasters were still colliding continuously but couldn't hurt him anymore.

Han Meng's physical strength and spiritual power were completely depleted. If he hadn't observed this favorable terrain ahead of time and rushed here with all his strength, he might have died under the siege of the two disasters by now.

However, before he could catch his breath, he saw the mother of the shadow centipede move away on its own. Moments later, the wave-like shadow centipedes climbed down from the cliff top one by one, squeezing through the cliffs on both sides and approaching him.

The size of the mother was not enough to pass through here, but these offspring could barely do it. Seeing this, Han Meng gritted his teeth, climbed up from the ground, dragged his battered body, and moved towards the depth of the narrow valley...

Could it be that he would really die here today?

If it were ordinary times, even if hundreds of offspring gathered together, Han Meng could slaughter them without changing his expression. But now, his spiritual power and physical strength were exhausted, and he couldn't use almost any skills.

If he didn't die in the hands of the two fifth-tier disasters but was torn into pieces by these trash offspring, it would be too disgraceful.

Han Meng's bloodstained hands held the rock walls on both sides, struggling to move forward... While those shadow centipedes were still very fast, and the distance between them was rapidly shrinking!

Just then, a large red figure slowly walked from the front of the narrow path.

Seeing that red color, Han Meng was stunned. This was the first time he saw a color other than black, white, and gray in this world... In this monotonous and oppressive world, that scarlet was so bright, evil, and eerie. Therefore, even from hundreds of meters away, Han Meng could notice him at once.

At this moment, the hairs on Han Meng's body stood up one by one. He suddenly stopped... Looking ahead, he was as if facing a formidable enemy.

A human?

This was the Gray Realm!

Humans couldn't survive here for a long time, and it was extremely eerie to retain such a bright color in the Gray Realm... No matter whether that thing was human-shaped, Han Meng didn't think it was a human.

He squinted, trying to see the "person's" face, but as the person waved his sleeve, a black mask appeared like magic, covering his face.

It was an exaggerated smiling face, with two scarlet patches in the position of the eyes, and a red crescent-shaped mouth curled up with an exaggerated arc, with the corners of the mouth almost reaching the ears.

At first glance, it looked like a clown's smiling face, absurd and unreasonable; but as he gazed at the mask for longer, the smile seemed to become more eerie, with a hint of mockery in the playfulness, making people unconsciously feel afraid.

This mask was Chen Yifei's improvisation, made according to the audience's appearance.

Han Meng had saved his life, so Chen Yifei naturally couldn't let the other die in front of him. But this was the Gray Realm, and he couldn't appear as law enforcement officer Chen Yifei; otherwise, many things couldn't be explained... So, he had to disguise himself.

Although his [Formless] had changed his original face, Han Meng's terrifying micro-expression observation ability still made him somewhat wary. For safety, he chose to conjure a mask to cover his face.

Under the double disguise, he didn't believe Han Meng could still find any clues.

The bright red theatrical robe swayed lightly with his steps, and that black smiling face was getting closer to Han Meng. Han Meng's muscles were tense, and in this oppressive gray world, the atmosphere seemed to stagnate...

Just then, a low voice slowly sounded from under that black mask:

"...Move aside."
