"I see."
Zhang Xuzhi said flatly, "What a pity for such a godlike sword skill."
He waved his hand as a signal.
Li Hanting and Zhou Hanye immediately realized what was about to happen and retreated behind him.
For a brief moment, Gu Jianlin took a deep breath. His body had already reached its maximum limit. Besides the surprised and amazed gazes from all directions, there was also an overwhelming killing intent bearing down on him.
The most crucial strike was coming!
Tang Ling took a half step forward, gripping the Extreme Thunder Great Sword tightly with both hands and whispered, "Is your Spiritual Body holding up? Once it collapses, the people behind us will be done for."
The shadow remained motionless, continuing to channel spirituality.
The golden Skeleton Giant let out a fierce roar, standing firmly to shield its teammates!
Zhang Xuzhi retracted the tumultuous Qi Force within him, raised a single finger, and lightly touched the countless crisscrossing silver strings. Then, his fingertip suddenly exerted force, plucking them with a flick!
Clang!
Countless indestructible silver strings resonated in unison!
A torrent of Qi Force instantly surged out from his fingertip.
Growth-type Mythical Weapon·Annihilation String!
In the Ancient Times, there once was an Ancestor who created 36,000 silver strings in the Ancient God Realm. By channeling their Qi Force into a destructive tide, they unleashed a surge that overwhelmed like a tsunami, obliterating an entire army in one strike.
Now, Zhang Xuzhi had created 360 silver strings. The raging Qi Force surged forth like a storm of wind and rain, carrying swirling snow powder, howling like an apocalyptic tempest!
Boom!
The ground collapsed with a deafening roar. Countless trees were torn apart and exploded, and the blizzard swept in.
The shadow's form was nearly transparent, teetering on the edge of destruction.
"I'll do it!"
Lu Qingqing raised her hand, chanting under her breath as blood trickled from her lips.
She recited a forbidden spell from Ancient Times, conjuring the Sandstone Shield to stand in front of her.
She expanded the Rectangular Domain to its maximum extent and used her body to brace against the Sandstone Shield.
Ji Xiaoyu grit her teeth, took a small, ancient-looking shield from her pocket, and infused it with the last bit of her Spiritual Power!
Boom!
A primitively majestic golden Light Shield materialized out of thin air, firmly guarding everyone!
Golden blood flowed from Chen Qing's pure white eyes. This was the painful effect of the Spirit Medium Path's Third Rank. She used herself as a medium to help her teammates bear the recoil, her body on the brink of collapse.
"No! He still can't hold on. His corruption is too severe. The mental pollution combined with the Penglai Ascension Array's backlash— not even the Ancient God's Blood can save him. What do I do? What can I do?" Lin Wanqiu dropped to her knees, her trembling hands emanating Holy Light, her once unshakable will now crumbling.
The two Alchemists exchanged glances, gritting their teeth fiercely: "If we're doomed either way, let's treat a dead horse like a living one!"
They pulled out a sealed bottle from their pouches, its contents a viscous black liquid.
As soon as the lid was opened, a foul stench rushed out.
"This is a defective formula the Little Princess discovered in Buzhou Mountain. The result was so disgustingly foul that none of us dared to try it, afraid it might poison us to death!"
The Alchemists' faces twisted in madness: "Down it goes!"
Lin Wanqiu screamed and tried to stop them, but it was already too late.
Lin Lan was force-fed the secret medicine, his body convulsing violently.
Yet Lin Wanqiu suddenly noticed that amidst the convulsions, his mind seemed to regain some clarity.
The secret medicine was destroying him, yet at the same time, reconstructing him.
The severe mental pollution was diminishing, bit by bit!
No!
It wasn't enough. Due to the instability of the medicine, the mental pollution began to counterattack again!
Lin Wanqiu bit down hard on her lip, broke the skin of her fingertip, and smeared her blood across her brother's chest. This was her meticulously developed Holy Light Matrix, the most potent version she had ever devised.
She hadn't dared to use it before, fearing its overwhelming intensity.
But now she had no choice but to stake everything on this!
At last, she pulled out a small, precise device from her backpack and connected it to her brother's heart.
Mental wave patterns and cardiac rhythms blinked on the device's display, beeping incessantly!
Boom!
Gu Jianlin stubbornly swung his blade, the cracking sounds within his body signaling its impending collapse.
Tang Ling's lightning barrier flickered erratically, nearing its breaking point.
The shadow's spirituality was completely drained; the golden Skeleton Giant was riddled with holes.
The Sandstone Shield shattered.
Ji Xiaoyu's Light Shield wavered precariously!
Chen Qing had collapsed to her knees, no longer conscious.
And yet, the Qi Force carried by the blizzard hadn't harmed them in the slightest!
"All units, prepare to fire the Super Electromagnetic Cannon!"
