Reborn Urban Sword Demon

Chapter 206 Shadow Demon
In the living room of Hua's villa, Hua was still waiting anxiously, until she saw Jiang Ning, the solemnity on her pretty face eased a little.

"Still, what's wrong?"

Jiang Ning gave her a reassuring smile and asked.

After sitting down, Hua still frowned slightly and said: "The company plans to build a factory in Xijing, and the local area sells a piece of land to the company at a very low price. I thought that since we can't cooperate with Toyota, it would be good to open up the domestic market, so We sent a working group from the company to the West District first, but this afternoon, we lost contact with them."

Shaopeng on the side couldn't help but said; "Maybe it's because I'm in the suburbs, so I can't contact you for the time being."

Hua still shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Our satellite communication is intact, and we can see the situation of the camp through video. Everything in the camp is normal, but the more than 20 people in the working group seem to have disappeared out of thin air."

Sun Feng also said: "I still felt that the matter was unusual, so I asked another working group on standby in Xijing City to check it out, but that working group also disappeared."

Jiang Ning frowned slightly and asked, "Are you sure the working group was not attacked?"

Hua still said affirmatively: "Sure, because I have been in touch with the second working group, and they disappeared in just a moment, and it is impossible to be attacked by surprise."

Shao Peng disagreed: "If it is a sneak attack by a high-level warrior, it can disappear as if it disappeared out of thin air."

Hua still shook his head: "We are in a video call, the picture is just blurred, the video is intact, but no one is missing, high-level warriors can't do it without leaving any traces, can they?"

Shaopeng stopped talking. Even a martial artist in the Heavenly Clear Realm would not be able to clean up all the corpses after killing someone.

Jiang Ning asked lightly: "Do you want to go to Xijing yourself?"

Hua is still a little embarrassed and said: "Well, I have to be responsible for the employees, and these people are the company's elites, so I can't afford to lose, so I want you to go with me, I know you just came back from Japan, it is very hard, But the situation is urgent, forgive my selfishness, okay?"

Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "Do you still need to be polite with me? Let's set off now."

Hua still nodded gratefully and said, "The plane is ready, let's go."

The group set off quickly, took a plane to Xijing City, and landed at their destination when it was dark.

Located in the west, Xijing was the ancient capital of several dynasties with profound historical heritage, but because it is located on the Loess Plateau, the suburbs are very desolate.

Changing to an off-road vehicle to go to the camp where the working group disappeared, Jiang Ning suddenly asked, "Yiran, why is that piece of land so cheap?"

Hua still thought about it for a while, and said, "Because the mayor of Xijing City is an old friend of my grandfather, and Xijing is located in a remote place, there are not many companies coming to invest, so he gave me a preferential price. Is there any problem?"

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, and said, "I feel a strong energy fluctuation nearby, so I think this is unusual, and maybe there is a conspiracy behind it."

Hua Yiran frowned slightly: "No way, the Hua family and the Bo family are family friends, how could there be a conspiracy?"

Jiang Ning smiled lightly: "It's too early to say anything, let's find out first."

The car parked outside the camp, and a group of people got out of the car. Jiang Ning walked into the camp first, followed by Shao Peng. The two of them had the strongest perception of energy.

"There is a slight energy reaction, but it doesn't look like the energy of a warrior."

Shaopeng felt it a little bit, and immediately made a judgment.

Jiang Ning has never felt this kind of energy, it seems to be more pure than all the energy on the earth, even the energy in the world of martial arts cannot compare with it.

"Could it be that the disappearance of the working group is related to this energy?"

Jiang Ning frowned in thought, always feeling something was wrong.

"Look here."

Hua Yiran suddenly screamed, and Jiang Ning immediately stretched out and came to her side.

Then he saw many pieces of clothing on the ground, outerwear and underwear, as well as shoes and socks.

"These are the working uniforms of the working group, with their names on them, but where did they go?"

Hua was still a little scared, and approached Jiang Ning unconsciously. The disappearance was too strange and beyond her cognition.

Jiang Ning gently hugged Hua still into his arms, his eyes flashed brightly, and he frowned and said, "Could it be the Shadow Demon?"

Although Shao Peng and Sun Feng were warriors, they had never heard of the Shadow Demon, and looked at Jiang Ning with puzzled eyes.

"Shadow Demon is a kind of monster in the martial arts world outside the world. It has the ability to be invisible. It can even turn into a human shadow to hide its whereabouts. It absorbs human body and converts it into energy as a cultivation method, but it is theoretically impossible to appear here."

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, and quickly lowered his head to look at the ground. There were only four of them, but five shadows appeared on the ground!
"It really is you, Shadow Demon, come out."

Jiang Ning kept Hua still behind her back, and said to the face coldly.

"Unexpectedly, on earth, there are still people who know my origin, which can be regarded as a pleasant surprise."

A shadow on the ground suddenly stood up, and soon materialized from a group of black shadows, and a monster with black face and fangs and blood red eyes appeared.

Jiang Ning asked coldly, "Why did you appear here?"

The Shadow Demon laughed strangely: "You don't need to know why I appear here, you will all become my food."

Shao Peng's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is he a monster from the world of martial arts? I can just use him to test the difference between me and the warriors of the world of martial arts."

The Shadow Demon didn't even look at Shao Peng, and said disdainfully: "A martial artist in the realm of the strength of the earth is at most an appetizer, but you seem to contain very strong energy, which is a hearty meal. This time you come to the earth , and unexpected gains."

Shao Peng was ignored by the Shadow Demon, and his anger spread. He was about to step forward, but was stopped by Jiang Ning: "The Shadow Demon only needs one move to kill you."

Shao Peng was stunned, even though he was not an opponent to a warrior in the Sanqing realm, he could still have the power to fight. Could it be that this shadow demon was much more powerful than a warrior in the Sanqing realm?
Jiang Ning said lightly: "Don't doubt your ability. The Shadow Demon is just an existence in the realm of a master. It's just that he has special abilities that you can't deal with."

Shadow Demon narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer, "You know me very well. Since you know I have special abilities, you still dare to be my enemy? Obediently let me absorb you, so as not to suffer pain."

Jiang Ning smiled coldly and said, "What about your special ability? Unfortunately, it doesn't work at all in front of me."

Shadow Demon's smile restrained: "Speak out loud, kid, I'll let you know my horror soon!"

Before he finished speaking, the Shadow Demon floated in the air, turned into a cloud of black air, and disappeared in an instant.

Jiang Ning condensed the sword energy, and slowly walked towards the place where the Shadow Demon disappeared.
