The sky turned dark!
As soon as these words came out of second senior brother's mouth, a cold and gloomy aura suddenly emerged from his body. That cold aura was as dark as the sky, as cold and merciless as the night. At this moment, it was as if second senior brother had completely changed into another person!
He might still be standing beside Su Ming, but Su Ming could clearly feel that his second senior brother had become different at that moment! However, Su Ming was not unfamiliar with this second senior brother. He had seen him before!
Second senior brother's feet slowly floated into the air until he was several inches above the ground. His long hair floated in the air, and his expression was cold and incredibly stern.
At that moment, as the sky turned dark and night arrived, he turned into the darkness of the night he was searching for during the day!
Su Ming saw his second senior brother floating forward like a ghost. Wherever he went, the ground under his feet would turn black. That black color was not due to snow, but due to the black grass growing on the snow.
"The grass at night is black … Did you know..?" Second senior brother's voice echoed in the air, and as his words traveled out, rustling sounds came from the black grass behind him. In that silence, those sounds sounded like mumbling, as if someone was talking about something.
Right at the instant second senior brother closed in on the ice house right in front of them, a piercing whistle shot through the air, and a black arrow shot out from the ice house, charging straight towards second senior brother.
A ferocious phantom manifested on the arrow, and it let out low growls as if it wanted to tear apart second senior brother and devour his flesh and blood.
"I can't find the darkness of the night … because I am night …" Second senior brother's voice was cold and aloof. As he spoke, he did not dodge the arrow and simply allowed it to pierce into his body, but it was as if second senior brother's body had turned into an illusion. Once the arrow passed through, it landed on the black grass on the ground and let out a buzzing sound.
However, second senior brother did not stop for even a single moment. He continued moving forward, and what made Su Ming's pupils shrink was the Phantom Shadow that was formed by the black mist on the arrow. As if it had fused with second senior brother, it gathered on his body and let out shrill screams.
That roar shook the sky, as if the Phantom Shadow was facing an injury that brought extreme pain to it. However, when Su Ming looked over, he could only see the Phantom Shadow gradually shrinking as it surrounded his second senior brother, as if it was about to disappear at any moment.
"Great Ghost Devouring Art!! Why do you know the secret art of my Phantom Dais Tribe?! " A voice filled with shock rang out from the ice house where the arrow had been shot. At the same time, a figure stepped out from within.
This was a large man wearing a long white robe. His eyes were bright, but at this moment, they were filled with astonishment and shock.
The moment the man walked out, piercing whistles traveled into the air, and more than a dozen sharp arrows shot out from the ice houses at the back of Northern Frontier Tribe.
The vast majority of these arrows were blue in color, but there were also a few that were black. There was even one arrow that was covered in extremely dense black aura. The ghostly shadow it formed was over a hundred feet tall in the black sky.
This scene made it seem as if all the Phantoms had charged out together. With the arrows as their bodies, they roared and charged towards second senior brother.
Su Ming's expression changed. Without any hesitation, he took a step forward. Green light shone by his side, and the small virescent sword charged towards the sky with a whistle. Yet at that moment, second senior brother's footsteps came to a halt. He spread his arms wide and lifted his right hand to seize the air.
Su Ming was in disbelief when he seized the air. A gigantic bow appeared in second senior brother's hand!
That bow was entirely black, and it was made from black wood. The bowstring was made from black grass, and the bow was completely black. Second senior brother held it in his hand and drew the bow.
"Not only do I know how to Devour Phantoms, I also know your Phantom Bow." As second senior brother's aloof words reverberated in the air, he drew his bow. There was no arrow in it, but as he released the bowstring, Su Ming sucked in a sharp breath. He saw with his own eyes that second senior brother's body turned into a wisp of black smoke the instant the bowstring was released, and like an arrow that had just left the bow, he charged towards the incoming arrows in the sky!
It was difficult to describe this scene. To Su Ming, it was as if second senior brother no longer had a physical body. He had turned into an arrow!
And this arrow was shot by him after he drew the bow. All of this happened in an instant. Su Ming saw with his own eyes that second senior brother had turned into a black arrow, and within that arrow light, there was a wisp of green hair!
At that instant, Su Ming suddenly understood second senior brother's Creation at a deeper level.
He wandered back and forth between life and death, just like how he searched for the darkness of night during the day. This was not a search during the day, but a search during the night.
Since he was in the dark, that was why even if he found it, he would never be able to find it … Su Ming looked at the arrow that was his second senior brother, the thick black mist on it, and the indistinct Phantom Shadow that had gathered together.
It was especially so when he saw that the Phantom Shadow looked exactly like his second senior brother. Su Ming's heart trembled, and he understood now.
Why second senior brother's Creation was life and death, why second senior brother loved flowers, and why second senior brother loved having the sun shine on the side of his face.
And why second senior brother was always searching during the night …
"Phantom Shadow!"
"He turned into a Phantom Shadow! Who is he?! This is impossible! "
"There's no Host, only a Phantom Shadow. This … This … Could it be that he's the Host?!" Disbelief appeared on the faces of the Phantom Dais tribe members, and some of them even looked towards Su Ming.
At that moment, the arrow and Phantom Shadow that was second senior brother crashed into the dozens of Phantom Dais tribe members' arrows in the sky.
A shocking boom reverberated through the sky and earth, spreading madly in all directions in the dark. All the arrows that were shooting towards second senior brother crumbled at the same time and turned into an endless amount of shards that tumbled backwards.
The numerous malicious Phantoms on the arrow and the one thousand feet tall Phantom surrounded by black mist let out shrill and terrified wails. Second senior brother's body was like a void that could absorb all matter. He sucked in all the malicious Phantoms and had them surround his body, causing second senior brother to look indistinct as he stared down coldly from midair.
There seemed to be a horn appearing faintly on second senior brother's head. The color of that horn was black with a hint of green! The malicious Phantoms on his body rapidly shrank as they wailed, as if they were all devoured by second senior brother in the dark.
"Phantom King! He's the Phantom King! "
"This is impossible! This is impossible!"
"He doesn't have a Host! How … How could he possibly survive?!" Uproars reverberated in the air, and the Phantom Dais tribe members instinctively retreated. As they looked at second senior brother in the sky, their gazes were filled with terror and disbelief.
Uncontrollably, illusory figures appeared behind them. Those illusory figures were none other than their respective Ghosts. When the Ghosts appeared, they looked at Second Senior Brother in the sky, and their expressions were filled with terror. However, the difference was that within that terror, there was also a hint of fervent respect.
Su Ming stared at his second senior brother's back, and a complicated look appeared on his face. He knew that Hu Zi had chosen to Enter the Dream multiple times in this place because this was a rare chance. With his Master protecting him in the dark, he could enter the Dream without worry.
It was just like how he Entered the Dream when he was by Su Ming's side, because he knew that he had been by his side at that time. Even if Su Ming had not been in the ninth summit for a long time, he could still tell that Hu Zi had truly treated him as his junior brother.
He was a junior brother who could be protected, and he could also be protected.
It was just like the current second senior brother. Clearly, this was his second senior brother's secret, but second senior brother did not hide anything before Su Ming. He just stood there and revealed his deepest secret.
Because second senior brother knew that his junior brother was there, because he knew that his Master was there, because he knew that even if he revealed all of this, even if something happened to him, he would still be safe, because there were people protecting him here, and there were also people who he might have to give up his life to protect several years later.
"The ninth summit's principle … is not to kill, but to protect each other …" Su Ming mumbled. He understood now.
He looked at second senior brother's back, and the complicated look in his eyes disappeared, turning into a determined look. This was not the first time that resolute look appeared in Su Ming's eyes. It was not as if he was not firm in his decision to belong to the ninth summit, but this time, the determination in his eyes was a form of protection towards his home and his family!
This form of protection made Su Ming remember Dark Mountain.
Dark Mountain was something he wanted to protect, but he did not succeed in the end … Now, the ninth summit had once again become something Su Ming wanted to protect. He did not know whether he would succeed, but he knew that this was his home. His family was here.
Even if the members of this family were different from the others, even if his second senior brother was one of the members … he was not alone!
He was a Ghost, a Ghost who had somehow escaped his fate. He was a Ghost who longed for light in the dark. He loved flowers because the life force within them was similar to his own …
His Creation was Life and Death because to him, it was not about moving from life to death, but from death to life!
Su Ming understood now.
Right at the moment he understood, a cold harrumph suddenly came from the house under the big tree at the edge of the snow plains belonging to Phantom Dais Tribe.
The moment that harrumph appeared, Su Ming's body trembled. The Divine General Armor manifested on his body and Han Mountain Bell reverberated with bell chimes to fight back, but blood still trickled out of the corners of his mouth.
There was a chilling air to that voice. The moment it appeared, all the members of Phantom Dais Tribe shuddered and knelt down in the direction of the house.
Second senior brother's body trembled in midair as he let out a cold snort. Rumbling sounds came from outside his body, and in front of him, a huge ghostly claw stretched out from the black sky and grabbed at second senior brother!
"Are you done messing around?!" Along with the gigantic ghostly claw, a cold and aged voice rang out.
"Are you done?!" Once that voice appeared, suddenly … a similar reply appeared in the world. However, that voice was not aloof, but had a hint of playfulness to it.
