Chapter 49 - Black Sky (1/4)

The Beast descended upon Madame Gao with unstoppable force, leaving the other four with expressions of confusion. Alexandra immediately asked, "How could this be? Didn't we agree to share the power equally?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Madame Gao burst into joyous laughter. The power of the demon rejuvenated her; her white hair turned black, her skin became taut, and her previously hunched figure straightened. In a few breaths, she transformed from an old woman of fifty or sixty into a young woman of twenty or thirty.

This transformation was witnessed by everyone present. Madame Gao reveled in her youthful body, then confidently addressed the others, "My apologies, everyone, but I never considered you companions from the start. You were merely consumables for me to achieve immortality. Four hundred years, and I've finally endured it!"

"So, you were lying to us from the beginning?!" Bo Tu's eyes were bloodshot.

"Don't forget who found the records of the Beast in the forbidden books, and don't forget who narrated them," Madame Gao said, looking at the four with a mocking expression.

After regaining her youth, Madame Gao became a tall woman with a not-unpleasant appearance, but a lingering grimness in her brow marred her otherwise limited beauty.

Madame Gao toyed with her black hair, generously sharing her journey. "To make you believe me, I expended no small amount of effort. Not only did I personally test the imperfect secret art, but my aging speed was also faster than yours. Everything, absolutely everything, was for today!"

These words struck the four members of The Hand like a bolt from the blue. Their centuries of effort had all become a bridal gown for Madame Gao to achieve immortality, a fact they found impossible to accept.

"As for now, it's time for me to collect my interest." Madame Gao pointed a finger, and four balls of black energy flew out, landing on the other four, who all collapsed to the ground in agony.

Murakami painfully curled up his body. "What did you do to us?"

"The day I led you into K'un-Lun, I tampered with your bodies during the instruction process. At the critical moment, you would become my nourishment," Madame Gao said with a triumphant smile.

They were very young when they were led into K'un-Lun and never imagined that someone would harbor such great malice and scheme against them from the very beginning.

One wrong step, and every step thereafter is wrong.

Under Madame Gao's intricate schemes, all of their efforts served as a bridal gown.

Soon, the four who had once dominated the underground World turned into piles of ash, their life force absorbed by Madame Gao.

'I truly didn't misjudge you, human.' The Beast, using Madame Gao as a vessel, was very pleased. Demons like them loved such villains.

"After all, we are the true partners," Madame Gao replied with a smile.

For some reason, Hell Demons find it very difficult to come to Earth, but they all know there are many delicious souls on Earth, so they will try every means to come to this Planet.

Powerful demons have spokespeople and avatars on Earth. They will trick humans into signing agreements with hidden clauses, ultimately taking their souls.

Some lucky demons can hide among humans, but they dare not act openly, at most absorbing the souls of some dying people, not daring to cause large-scale chaos.

Demons like the Beast would be more awkward, but fortunately, four hundred years ago, a greedy human inadvertently found it.

That human was the current Madame Gao.

After four hundred years of effort, Madame Gao finally brought the Beast to Earth, and she also became the Black Sky.

Looking at this scene, Ailer couldn't help but match it to the developments in his memory.

Memory and experience simply don't align; this Universe doesn't play by the rules!

Madame Gao didn't seem to have such deep schemes in the original timeline.

Ailer looked at Madame Gao at this moment and vigilantly asked, "So, are you still Madame Gao of The Hand, or something else?"

"Something else? I am just me!" Madame Gao smiled coldly, then scrutinized Ailer before saying, "Your talent is indeed excellent. If you add the power of a demon… "

"I'm too lazy to continue speaking with you; you're not worthy of listening!" Ailer directly interrupted Madame Gao, then gathered qi to his legs, and with a flash, appeared before Madame Gao.

The green blade thrust straight at Madame Gao's throat. A look of disdain appeared on her face, and then her right hand transformed into a palm blade, using her own palm to meet the blade head-on.

"Your speed is indeed decent, but… not as fast as mine!"

As Madame Gao's words fell, three streaks of blade light formed a triangle, slashing towards Ailer's body.

In an instant, three sparks appeared on the ninja armor.

Ailer reacted to the move, but his body didn't keep up.

Taking the damage head-on, Ailer retreated with the momentum. "You truly are quite vigorous for your age."

"Vigorous for my age? I'm quite young now," Madame Gao retorted. At this moment, 'the Beast' began to urge her.

'Sacrifice him to me. Such a delicious human is too rare; even a dead one will do.'

Upon hearing this, Madame Gao reassumed her martial arts stance. "Then I'll finish this quickly!"

The next moment, a tangible gleam shot from Madame Gao's eyes. All her strength and spirit seemed to compress into a tiny point, then violently exploded within her body.

Boom—

A tremendous sound like TNT explosives emanated from Madame Gao's body. Then, she rushed towards Ailer like a cannonball, her fist descending like a mountain upon Ailer.

'Bang'

The mountain-like fist did not land on Ailer but on a cloud of smoke. The fist passed through the smoke, ultimately shattering a piece of wood.

This was a substitution jutsu. Realizing this, Madame Gao quickly changed direction and went after Ailer's true body.

"Tsk, as disgusting as chewing gum." Ailer was astonished by Madame Gao's reaction, then rotated the shuriken dial on the Ninja Double-Edged Sword, activating the Ninja Double-Edged Sword's skill.

Tactical Cut

Although this old woman had an evil mind and had harmed countless people for immortality, her martial arts prowess was undeniably formidable.

Light wind-attributed energy covered the blade, finally colliding with the black-energy-wrapped fist.

Boom—

The tremendous sound of the blade and fist connecting overlapped with the thunder outside the window. In this instant, Ailer's mind had already constructed the winning formula.

The law of victory has been grasped by me!

Madame Gao, with her extremely strong sustained combat ability, attacked again, her offensive even stronger than the previous wave.

Seeing this, Ailer did not organize his strength to counterattack but instead took out the Fever Buckle and inserted it into the Desire Driver.

Ailer flicked the Fever Buckle's joystick, then leaped up, directly facing Madame Gao's Iron Fist.

Ninja! Hit ~ Fever Ninja!

A golden slot machine appeared behind Ailer. The lower half of his ninja armor was ejected by the slot machine, and golden cross-stars flashed, dyeing the scarf around Ailer's neck gold.

The force field generated during the form change blocked Madame Gao's heavy punch and sent her flying.

Who said 'transformation invincibility frames' could only be used for defense?
