Chapter 556: Encountering the Demonic Shadow Again
Seeing this, Lei Bao said nothing, and the lightning around him surged again. He rushed towards another statue like a thunder cannonball ready to go.
"Lei Yao Shattering Sky Fist!"
He roared, and the lightning dragon on his fist became more violent, blasting towards the statue with the momentum of destroying everything.
The punch hit the statue hard, making a dull bang, and the body of the statue was wrapped in lightning and trembled violently.
However, when the lightning dissipated, although some cracks appeared on the surface of the statue, it still did not fall down and continued to approach the crowd.
"Damn, these statues are harder to deal with than imagined!" Lei Bao gritted his teeth.
The Witch Yunshang danced with her hands quickly, chanting something in her mouth, and cast an enhanced version of the "Phantom Moon Spirit Glow Curse".
This time, the moonlight in the sky was no longer soft and bright, but became silver-white like substance, with a sacred and powerful force, pressing heavily on the statue group.
The moonlight enveloped the statues, making a "sizzling" sound, like hot oil dripping into water, and the dark aura on the statues continued to dissipate under the purification of the moonlight.
Their movements became obviously slower, and their steps were no longer so firm.
The old demon clan member was not idle either. He inserted his cane into the ground and chanted the ancient and obscure demon clan spell.
The ancient runes on the ground shone brightly, and thick vines emerged from the ground. These vines grew rapidly and entangled the legs of the statues.
The vines tightly wrapped around the legs of the statues, trying to fix them in place. The statues struggled hard, but could only make dull roars. Under the restraint of the vines, their movements became more difficult.
Fang Yue took this opportunity to concentrate all his vitality on the long sword, and the sword body shone brightly, as if it was injected with life.
He flashed and shuttled through the statues like a ghost. Every time he swung the sword, he brought a sharp sword energy and slashed at the runes on the back of the statues.
"Puff, puff, puff!" A series of sounds came, and Fang Yue's long sword accurately pierced the runes on the backs of several statues.
The statues roared in pain, then fell to the ground and turned into a pile of rubble.
"Everyone keep going. According to this method, we will definitely be able to break through their defenses!" Fang Yue shouted, and his voice echoed in the corridor, inspiring everyone's morale.
Lei Bao was encouraged and attacked the statues more vigorously. He kept performing the "Thunder Blade Shattering Sky Fist Final Style", and each punch was powerful and knocked the approaching statues to the ground.
Yunshang Witch continued to cast spells in the back to provide support for everyone.
Her forehead was covered with sweat, but her eyes were extremely firm. She kept injecting magic power into the "Phantom Moon Spirit Glow Curse", making the power of moonlight stronger.
The old demon was focused on maintaining the vines' restraints. His hands trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was consuming a lot, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the statue group was gradually weakened. More and more statues fell, and the rubble scattered all over the ground.
Finally, the last statue also fell to the ground under the attack of everyone and turned into a pile of dust.
"Huh... Finally solved." Lei Bao wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is everyone okay?" Fang Yue asked with concern.
"It's okay, big brother. Although these statues are powerful, we still defeated them!" Lei Bao said excitedly.
"Well, but this is just a small obstacle in the dark palace, and the danger behind may be more difficult. We can't slack off at all." Fang Yue said, revealing a trace of solemnity in his eyes.
Everyone continued to move forward, and a huge round room appeared at the end of the corridor.
In the center of the room was a black stone platform, and on the stone platform was a book emitting a strange light.
"What is that?" Witch Yunshang pointed to the black stone platform and asked.
Fang Yue frowned and observed the book carefully. "I don't know either, but it exudes a powerful dark power. Maybe it is closely related to the conspiracy of the dark power. Everyone be careful, I'll go and take a look." Fang Yue walked towards the stone platform carefully, taking every step very cautiously. When he approached the stone platform, the black book suddenly shone brightly, and a dark energy wave spread out from the book. "Be careful!" Fang Yue hurriedly retreated, and at the same time, his vitality surged, forming a layer of defense barrier. The dark energy wave hit the defense barrier, making a "buzzing" sound, and Fang Yue's body shook slightly under this impact. "Brother!" Lei Bao and others saw this and rushed over, ready to support Fang Yue at any time. At this moment, the light on the black book gradually converged, and an illusory figure slowly emerged from the book. The figure had a blurred face and exuded a dark aura, giving people a mysterious and terrifying feeling. "How dare you break in here and disturb my sleep!" The illusory figure made a gloomy voice that echoed throughout the room.
"Who are you? What's going on?" Fang Yue asked vigilantly.
The illusory figure sneered, "I am the guardian of the Dark Palace, and you are about to become the sacrifice here!"
Fang Yue tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, stared at the illusory figure with a torch-like gaze, and responded fearlessly: "You are not qualified to be our sacrifice! Tell us your conspiracy, maybe you can still have a chance of survival."
The illusory figure sneered again, "Ignorant ants, do you think you can easily break the layout of darkness? Today you will all be buried in this dark palace!"
Before he finished speaking, the illusory figure waved his hands, and countless black tentacles suddenly surged in the room. These tentacles twisted like snakes and rushed towards everyone.
"Be careful of these tentacles!" Fang Yue shouted, and took the lead in swinging his long sword, and the sword energy was crisscrossed, cutting off the approaching tentacles one after another.
The severed tentacles fell to the ground and turned into a pool of black liquid, emitting a disgusting smell.
Seeing this, Lei Bao flashed with lightning all over his body, and rushed towards the tentacles without hesitation, "Lei Yao Shattering Sky Fist!" His roar echoed in the room, and the lightning dragon on his fist rolled wildly and slammed into the tentacles fiercely.
The lightning collided with the tentacles, making a crackling sound, and for a while, the room was flashing with electricity.
Witch Yunshang danced her hands quickly, chanting something, and released the enhanced version of the "Illusionary Moon Spiritual Brilliance Spell" again with full force.
The silvery moonlight poured down like a substance, covering a large area of tentacles.
Under the purification of the moonlight, the tentacles were corroded and sizzled, gradually shrinking.
The old demon inserted his cane deep into the ground, chanting an ancient and obscure spell.
The ancient runes on the ground shone brightly, and the thick vines broke out of the ground again. These vines were like flexible giant pythons, wrapping around the approaching tentacles, trying to restrain them.
However, the illusory figure seemed to be prepared. It chanted something, and the tentacles that were originally cut off, corroded and entangled suddenly changed.
A layer of more intense black light appeared on their surface, and their strength suddenly increased. Not only did they break free from the shackles of the vines, but they also easily resisted Fang Yue's sword energy, the lightning of the thunderstorm, and the moonlight of Witch Yunshang.
"No, this monster has a trick up its sleeve!" Fang Yue's heart tightened, and he warned loudly.
The illusory figure sneered, "This is just the beginning, you are destined to come but not return today!"
After that, it quickly formed a strange seal with both hands, and let out a low roar.
The dark power in the room surged wildly in an instant, and those tentacles seemed to be attracted by some mysterious power and quickly gathered together.
They intertwined and merged with each other, and in the blink of an eye, a black barrier was formed, separating Fang Yue from Lei Bao, Yun Shang Witch and the old man of the demon clan.
"Brother!" Lei Bao was anxious, and he rushed towards the black barrier with all his strength, trying to break it with "Thunder Shining Sky Breaking Fist". However, the lightning bombarded the barrier, only splashing some black sparks, and the barrier did not move at all.
"Damn, this barrier is so strong!" Lei Bao angrily beat the barrier.
Yun Shang Witch and the old man of the demon clan also cast spells to try to break through the barrier. The moonlight power of the Witch Yunshang continuously impacted the barrier, and the old demon clan drove the vines to hit it, but neither could cause substantial damage to the black barrier.
Fang Yue was trapped on the other side of the barrier and temporarily lost contact with his companions. He stared at the illusory figure vigilantly, thinking quickly about countermeasures in his mind.
"Now you are the only one left, let's see how you can still struggle!"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The illusory figure said proudly, it waved its hands again, and countless tiny black tentacles stretched out from the barrier, like black sharp arrows, shooting towards Fang Yue.
Fang Yue's figure flashed, and he shuttled through the room like a ghost, cleverly dodging the attack of the tentacles.
He saw the right time, gathered all his vitality on the long sword, and then swung it violently, and a sharp sword energy slashed towards the illusory figure.
The illusory figure sneered, without dodging or avoiding.
A layer of black shield surged around it, easily resisting Fang Yue's sword energy.
"Your attack is nothing but an ant trying to shake a tree to me!" the illusory figure taunted.
Fang Yue ignored its taunting, knowing that he had to stay calm at this time.
He began to carefully observe the movements of the illusory figure and the flow of dark power around him, trying to find a flaw.
On the other side, Lei Bao and others did not give up.
Lei Bao kept trying various ways of attack, hoping to break the barrier.
Yunshang Witch calmed down and carefully studied the structure of the black barrier, trying to find a way to crack it.
While maintaining his own spiritual power, the old demon clan searched the ancient demon clan memories in his mind to see if there was a way to deal with this situation.
"We can definitely break this barrier and help big brother!" Lei Bao said firmly.
"Well, we can't let big brother face danger alone." Yunshang Witch responded, her eyes full of determination.
The old demon nodded slightly, "Let's work together, we can definitely do it."
At this time, the battle between the trapped Fang Yue and the illusory figure became more and more intense.
The illusory figure continued to attack, and Fang Yue relied on his flexible body and powerful sword energy to barely resist.
But as time went on, Fang Yue clearly felt that his physical strength was gradually depleting, while the illusory figure seemed to have endless power.
Fang Yue knew in his heart that such passive defense was not a long-term solution.
While dodging the attacks of the black tentacles, he paid attention to the actions of the illusory figure.
Suddenly, he found that before the illusory figure launched a large-scale attack, the movements of his hands would pause for a short time, which might be the prelude to launching an attack.
Fang Yue decided to take a risk. He stopped dodging and stopped moving when the illusory figure's hands began to show signs of pausing. Instead, he circulated his whole body's vitality to the extreme. The long sword shone brightly, and the whole person was like a peerless sword about to be unsheathed, ready to go.
Sure enough, the illusory figure danced quickly with both hands, and more and denser black tentacles shot towards Fang Yue like a rainstorm.
Fang Yue saw the opportunity, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the tentacles like lightning.
He swung the long sword in his hand tightly, and the sword energy crisscrossed. For a moment, the black tentacles were cut off one after another and turned into black liquid and spilled all over the ground.
"Humph, you have some skills, but that's all!"
The illusory figure was slightly surprised to see Fang Yue break through this round of attacks, but soon regained his arrogance.
It formed seals with both hands again, muttered something, and the dark power in the room rolled like boiling water.
The black barrier began to deform, and a part of it turned into a huge black demon shadow. The demon shadow held a black giant axe, exuding a dark aura stronger than before, and rushed towards Fang Yue.
Fang Yue concentrated his mind and energy, knowing that this was a tough battle.
He stood firmly on the ground with his feet, and with the long sword in his hand, a powerful sword energy burst out from the sword, slashing towards the black demon shadow.
"Boom!" The sword energy and the demon shadow collided with each other, bursting out a deafening sound, and the whole room shook violently.
Fang Yue was shocked by the impact and took a few steps back, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
But he did not retreat at all, quickly adjusted his state, and launched another attack.
This time, he used a killer move he had never used before - "Heaven and Earth Return to Oneness Sword Technique Split Sky Slash".
Fang Yue's vitality surged wildly, and the space around him was distorted with him as the center.
He raised his sword high, and a huge sword shadow seemed to appear in the sky. This shadow, with the momentum of creating the world, slashed down fiercely at the black demon shadow.
"Ah!"
The black demon shadow felt this fatal threat and roared. It held the black axe tightly with both hands and tried its best to meet the sword shadow.
"Crack!"
There was a loud noise, like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth. The sword shadow directly cut the black axe into two pieces, and the remaining force continued to cut the black demon shadow.
A huge crack appeared on the black demon shadow's body in an instant, and it turned into countless black fragments and dissipated in the air.
"You..." The illusory figure saw the black demon shadow being easily killed, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. But it quickly regained its composure, "Don't be too happy too soon, this is far from enough!" (End of this chapter)
