Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 946 - 655: Celestial Will Organization, Shadow Controller_2

"You want to take my head?" Li Zheng slowly raised his right hand into a fist, then suddenly flipped his palm downward, pressing it hard. A rain of ice needles fell like a downpour, piercing the ground where the Shadow Controller had merged.

Tap, tap, tap~

A burst of explosions followed, turning the ice needles into a mist of swirling shards, the blue and white crystals dazzlingly beautiful.

"It's useless. Your attacks are as ridiculous as a tickle." The Shadow Controller glided out from the ice mist, moving at incredible speed, and in an instant, appeared in front of Li Zheng.

"Now it's my turn!"

Whoosh!

The dark figure detached from the ground, pointing a finger silently toward Li Zheng's forehead.

Li Zheng saw the finger tremble slightly, then lengthen and sharpen, as if it were a sword, its edge bristling.

"Bring the blade!" he commanded aloud, and the Glazed Long Saber flipped into his hand. He lifted it and chopped sideways, aiming at the fingertip of the Shadow Controller.

Whoosh~

It was as if he had cut through a wisp of smoke; Li Zheng felt no solid resistance, and his heart skipped a beat.

"I told you, your attacks are as ridiculous as a tickle." The Shadow Controller continued unabated. The finger sliced by the Glazed Long Saber split into two, becoming thinner and longer, transforming from a slender sword into two Emei Needles, thrusting left and right toward Li Zheng's eyes. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Li Zheng bent back and dodged, using his momentum to raise a foot, kicking at the Shadow Controller, but still made no contact as his foot passed through.

But using the force, he rolled backward several times, creating distance between him and the Shadow Controller.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his forehead, followed by the trickle of warm liquid.

He wiped his forehead with his hand and found that, despite his evasiveness, he hadn't managed to avoid the twin thrusts. His forehead had been sliced open.

"I must admit, you're much stronger than the Shadow Controllers I encountered a couple of days ago. Those guys couldn't withstand my Spiritual Power and were instantly slaughtered." Li Zheng flicked the blood from his hand. The wound on his forehead hadn't healed but had stopped bleeding.

At their level, unless they suffered severe injuries like being gutted or having limbs severed, minor skin cuts quickly stopped bleeding and healed due to their remarkable Life Force.

"I'm different from that garbage," the Shadow Controller said arrogantly. "Those guys are just disposable, there's as many as needed, ready to be discarded. But I am the master's most successful creation, the most powerful Shadow Controller!"

He once again transformed into a shadow, merging with the ground, approaching Li Zheng: "Give up your struggle. If I want to kill you, you can't resist."

"Is that so?"

Li Zheng smiled slightly, as a pair of azure wings formed from thunder appeared behind him, lifting him into the sky: "What about now? How will you kill me?"

The Shadow Controller's methods were indeed bizarre, capable of turning tangible into intangible, rendering most physical attacks ineffective against him.

But there was a clear drawback: once turned into a shadow, the Controller could only move across tangible surfaces, unable to take flight.

Yet when Li Zheng looked down, he noticed that the Shadow Controller had vanished into thin air.

The next moment, a voice spoke near his ear: "Tell me, how am I going to kill you?"

Danger struck from behind as Li Zheng flipped in the air, trying to shake off the Shadow Controller clinging to his back, but the opponent stuck to him like a shadow.

A blade forged from black shadows silently approached his neck, intending to behead him.

"It's the lightning?!" A spark of realization ignited in Li Zheng's mind; the lightning emitted by the Demon Thunder Wings cast shadows behind him, which the Shadow Controller hid within!

Disperse!

Li Zheng decisively dismissed the ability of the Demon Thunder Wings, extinguishing the lightning completely.

Simultaneously, the shadow blade that had reached his neck disappeared.

A mass of shadow fell from beneath him, merging with the ground, the Shadow Controller half-emerged, looking up at the free-falling Li Zheng, transforming into a sharp spike, poised to let Li Zheng impale himself.

"Are you underestimating my skills?" Li Zheng unleashed all his Spiritual Power, pushing against his side to forcibly shift himself sideways mid-air.

He wasn't flying high, already close to the ground. After sidestepping, the Shadow Controller didn't have time to dive into the ground beneath him, allowing Li Zheng to land safely.

However, as Li Zheng made contact with the ground, a faint light from some unknown source in the Sin Domain formed a circular shadow beneath him. The Shadow Controller darted into the ground, connecting with his shadow, emerging halfway with arms transformed into blades, frantically slashing at Li Zheng's vital points.

Li Zheng utilized his technique to block with his saber, but the distance was too close, making it hard to wield the Glazed Long Saber effectively, making him awkward and uncomfortable.

Unlike Zhan Zhouzhou, who possessed advanced techniques for dealing with enemies, even if Li Zheng had learned some, it was superficial.

He mostly incorporated the strengths of various masters, refining techniques that suited him.

Every swing's angle, force, which muscles to use for efficiency—all were techniques he gradually honed.

As for the Shadow Controller, the attacks emerged from instinct, leveraging his advantage to launch erratic attacks.

He could hit, injure, and kill others, while the enemy's attacks passed through his dance-like body without causing harm.

On such a foundation, all techniques seemed insignificant.

Yet, in an evenly matched struggle, technique is the deciding factor!

Indeed, the Shadow Controller could switch between tangible and intangible, but they couldn't control others through shadows and had to personally fight, needing to solidify to strike their opponent when the attack hit.
