Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Mirror God, Master of Fear

Chapter 140 Everyone has their own agenda
The shadow soldiers charged forward relentlessly, one after another, as if their lives depended on it.

Sweat gradually appeared on the old man's forehead, and the magic power within his body showed faint signs of depletion.

He's still not strong enough.

Shadow Jade closed his eyes, lowered his gaze expressionlessly, ignored Jackie Chan's whimpering as he was hanging upside down, and coldly said, "Shen Du, continue."

The Holy Lord snapped out of his daze, glanced at the shrinking domain surrounding the old mage, and spoke gently.

The Demon Study Group continues to operate.

Lin Luo, however, focused his gaze on the Holy Lord, who was now wearing a red crown robe, indicating that the Evil God had poured more power into this area.

The Holy Lord paused, and together with Shadow Jade and the Demon Dragon, they turned to look at Fear.

Shadow Jade frowned, but said nothing.

As long as fear is not hostile, she doesn't mind if the real fear comes.

Because now, this place has become her home turf, and she no longer fears the evil god.

The Holy Lord turned his head and ignored it. Although the evil god's actions made him wary, the right thing to do now was to study the Complete Book of Spells. This was knowledge that had truly been dug out of his mind. The more he studied, the more his wisdom would be restored.

As time slowly passed, the old mage's domain grew smaller and smaller.

The shadow soldiers repeated this process over and over, moving forward, dissipating like willow catkins, then reviving in the shadows and continuing forward.

Finally, in just ten minutes, the shadows drowned out the glimmer of justice. The old mage had all his magical equipment confiscated, and the ninja found his second potion. He knelt down and offered it to his king.

Shadow Jade glanced at the two vials of potion beside her, waved her hand, and slowly merged into the shadows and disappeared in Jackie Chan's despairing gaze.

Not far away, the old mage was tied to a chair, his mouth gagged by a ninja, and could only wearily watch the four demons in the distance.

"Shouldn't we kill them?"

The little devil dragon suddenly spoke.

Shadow Jade, who was about to continue studying, was taken aback. She looked up at the Demon Dragon and frowned: "This is my prisoner. What I do with him is my business."

"The reason Zhou Lan failed in the first place was because he didn't kill them. If you kill them now, there won't be so many problems."

"It's Devil Dragon," the little devil suggested earnestly.

There was one more thing he didn't say: he could sense that once Shadow Jade really took action, she would become the true Shadow Queen, instead of being in her current child-dominated state.

And since this child is a Saint Seiya character, things might get quite interesting.

"do not kill."

Shadow Jade lowered her head: "Divine Capital, continue."

"Can"

boom!
A vast darkness suddenly descended, and the immense pressure instantly caused the demon dragon's muscles to tense up, his legs trembling slightly as if bearing a tremendous force.

The Demon Dragon has now recovered to roughly the same level as it was a thousand years ago, but it is still far inferior to these top-tier combatants.

Even if the Shadow Jade cannot unleash the Shadow Queen's true power, it is still comparable to a fully grown demon child.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Shadow Jade's voice was very cold, and his killing intent was undisguised.

Countless shadow soldiers surrounded them, their eyes filled with coldness, and their intense killing intent even condensed into a faint layer of bloody aura.

As long as the Queen gives the order, they will be engulfed in shadow, regardless of whether the opponent is a demon or not.

The Holy Lord immediately stood up, stood in front of the demon dragon, and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. He is just a child. Please do not take offense at his actions."

Shadow Jade turned her gaze to the Holy Lord and said coldly, "This is the only time. Keep your child in check."

“I promise,” the Holy Lord said humbly.

The immense pressure gradually lessened, and the little demon dragon lowered its head slightly, standing behind the Holy Lord without saying a word.

He stared blankly at the Holy Lord's back, listening to the Holy Lord's earnest explanation, and looking at the slightly hunched waist, the demon dragon clenched his fist slightly.

strength
He noticed something, but instead of speaking, he gently kicked the Holy Lord.

His little actions were noticed by all three demons at the same time, and Shadow Jade glanced at the little demon dragon with some displeasure.

Is this the devilish version of a brat?
It's really annoying.

The Holy Lord's eyes flickered, and he glanced sideways at his child, scolding, "Get out, don't disturb the Queen's studies."

The little demon dragon was taken aback, then took a step back with a gloomy expression, coming to the side of fear, crossing his arms, looking extremely displeased.

Fear glanced at the little demon dragon, a slight smile playing on his lips. He stood ramrod straight, his hands tucked into his wide sleeves, and the aura of detached spectator surrounding him gradually faded.

interesting
At this moment, Fear, the Demon Dragon, and the Holy Lord all subtly cast their gazes toward Xiaoyu's back, but it was as if their gazes were merely sweeping across her without uttering a sound, as if they were all waiting for something.

The Holy Lord moved closer, pointed to a magical rune, and spoke gently:
"Your Majesty, what is this magic?"

Woo woo woo.
"Xiaoyu!"

After struggling, Jackie Chan finally managed to remove the seal from his mouth. His voice was exhausted: "You are filled with evil forces. They are influencing your mind. Drink the medicine and be the person you used to be."

"I feel great right now."

Shadow Jade was even more annoyed, as problems had been constantly arising since its revival.

She waved her hand, and a ninja soldier stepped forward, ready to seal Jackie Chan's mouth shut again. "You're not like yourself anymore. Is this really what you wanted?"

Jackie Chan stared intently at Jade and asked in a low voice.

Xiaoyu paused, and the ninja soldier also paused. She thought for a moment and still replied, "Of course not. I used to be just a student, but now I am the king."

The raised hand was then lowered.

Without hesitation, the ninja soldier tied a black seal to Jackie Chan's mouth, preventing him from making a sound.

Shadow Jade wanted to continue, but being repeatedly interrupted had ruined her mood.

Taking the drink offered by a shadow soldier beside her, she asked listlessly, "Shen Du, you should be able to tell that this book is made of my power. Do you have a way to take back my power without destroying the book?"

The Holy Lord thought about it and felt a headache coming on.

To be honest, he really had no choice.

Lope particularly enjoys using the art of checks and balances, and he is the most skilled practitioner of checks and balances in the Holy Lord's current memories.

This balance is incredibly subtle. On one side is the Holy Lord's spiritual power combined with a portion of his wisdom imbued with a certain status, while on the other side is part of the Shadow Queen's authority. The two complement each other and intertwine to form this book.

Once the balance is broken, the book will self-destruct, and the two forces will clash, destroying both of them together.

Over the course of a thousand years, this balance has become increasingly absolute. Now, whether it's the power of fire or the power of shadow, this book is so fragile that it shatters at the slightest touch.

This is also why, in the original story, even an ordinary ninja soldier's hidden weapon could shatter the book into dust.

Shadow Jade looked at the Holy Lord with some anticipation, but seeing the Holy Lord's expression, a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

She took a sip of her drink, waved her hand, and was about to say something when she froze.

Looking at the green liquid in the wine glass in his hand: "What is this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow Jade felt that the dense dark power within his body was being suppressed by a force.

She turned her head sharply to look beside her. Because of the chaos caused by her father and the demon dragon, there were originally only ninja soldiers around her, but now other legion members had appeared.

The person who handed him the drink was a soldier from the Giant Shadow Legion.

These soldiers were generally over two meters tall and one meter wide, making them appear quite enormous.

Shadow Jade stared intently at the soldier delivering the drinks, his gaze gradually darkening: "True?"

"Demons and monsters, leave quickly!"

The soldier clasped his hands together, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his heart pounding rapidly, and he kept chanting incantations of justice.

"Shut him up!" Shadow Jade's pupils contracted.

Around him, the Shadow Soldiers also pointed their weapons at Tru and rushed towards him at top speed.

A powerful killing intent permeated the area.

But the next moment.

Many images flashed through Shadow Jade's mind. She shook her head, saw something, and spoke urgently.

"Just shut up!"

Zheng~
A soldier clad in heavy armor and wielding a long sword suddenly stopped in his tracks, the tip of the sword less than thirty centimeters from Tru's neck.

The life-or-death situation caused Tru to sweat even more profusely.

Even his voice was slightly distorted, but it remained clear, because they only had this one chance: "Demons and monsters, get out of here!"

Beside him, the evil god, the little demon dragon, and the Holy Lord simply watched without making any move.

But there were faint magical fluctuations emanating from them; the demons, each with their own ulterior motives, were about to witness the changes they desired.

A ninja soldier had already climbed onto Tru and reached out to cover Tru's mouth.

But the next moment.

A tremendous aura of justice suddenly erupted from within the Shadow Jade, and this aura began to suppress the power of the shadow.

It seems that moving one thing can affect the whole situation.

boom!
An incredibly intense burst of power erupted.

Shadow Jade suddenly turned his head and immediately saw the scene of the demon dragon being suppressed by the projection of the evil god with one hand.

The demon dragon knelt on one knee, its body riddled with cracks, yet the flames still illuminated District Thirteen and the calm gaze of the evil god.

The intense energy pulling within her body made it impossible for her to think clearly.

The consciousness of Shadow Jade still dominates Jade. Her kindness cannot drive her to actually kill the people in the antique shop, but the feeling of betrayal still makes her very angry.

The evil god raised his hand, and a giant golden net fell down, instantly causing a loud bang from the right side of the Shadow Jade.

Shadow Jade turned her head again to look in the direction of the sound. There, in the ruins, the Holy Lord held the Great Compendium of Spells in his hands and had just stood up.

The surrounding shadow soldiers had no idea what was happening, but they had already turned their attention to everyone except the queen.

In a short time, the place seemed to have suddenly split into four factions, making Shadow Jade feel very confused.

It seems that the various shady businesses around me are all harboring their own secrets, and they all erupt at the same time in tacit agreement.
