Chapter 999: Joining forces to defeat the enemy
Zhang Hao took a deep breath and poured all his spiritual energy into the longsword without reservation. The sword shone brightly, its blue glow almost completely dispelling the surrounding darkness. It was like the brightest light before dawn, imbued with endless hope and strength. His eyes were fixed on the centipede's wound; it was the key to their victory.
Ling Yu also exerted all his might, his hands dancing rapidly, and the surrounding wind elements gathered frantically. A huge green vortex formed around his body, and wind blades continuously gathered and spun in the vortex, emitting a sharp whistling sound, as if gathering power for the impending fatal blow. These wind blades were sharper than before, each one flashing with an icy cold light, as if it could easily tear through space.
Veins bulged on the mysterious man's forehead as he thrust his hands into the ground. Instantly, the earth trembled violently, and more stout stone pillars emerged from the ground, like the arms of an angry giant, tightly clamping the centipede's body. The runes on the pillars glowed increasingly brightly, continuously releasing a powerful binding force, making it difficult for the centipede to break free. Simultaneously, he manipulated tiny stone spikes, which quietly emerged from the cracks in the pillars and stabbed the centipede's wounds, attempting to further weaken its defenses.
The Lingyun Sect leader leaped high, his sword pointed toward the heavens. Golden sword energy surged from his sword like a surging torrent, swirling and dancing around his body. He emanated a majestic aura, as if merging with heaven and earth. With a roar that shook the earth, he channeled all his sword energy into a more concentrated, powerful golden beam, slashing fiercely at the centipede's wound.
Four powerful forces attacked the centipede's wound almost simultaneously. Zhang Hao's blue sword flashed like lightning, piercing the wound first. Ling Yu's wind blade followed like a violent storm, slicing and widening the wound. The mysterious man's stone spikes also penetrated, and the Lingyun Sect leader's golden beam of light, like a giant axe splitting the sky, struck the wound with devastating force.
"Boom!" A resounding explosion shook the entire world. The centipede's body, struck by this powerful force, erupted in a burst of intense black light. Within this light, the centipede let out a shrill scream, filled with pain and resentment, as if it wanted to drown the entire world in its resentment.
The black light gradually dissipated, and the centipede's massive body slowly collapsed. A massive crack appeared on its body, stretching from head to tail. Black blood flowed out like a river, staining the surrounding land in pitch black. With the centipede's death, the dark creatures that had been pouring out seemed to have lost their backbone and suddenly became panicked.
Seeing this, the Lingyun Sect's disciples' morale soared, and they intensified their attacks. Suddenly, a cascade of magical light intertwined, bursting across the battlefield like a dazzling display of fireworks. Under the onslaught, the dark creatures gradually lost their ability to resist and began to flee.
Zhang Hao and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the dark creatures gradually retreat. However, they knew that this was only the beginning of the continent's crisis; there were still more dark rifts they needed to seal and more dark creatures they needed to eliminate.
"We can't let our guard down. More challenges await us." Zhang Hao said firmly, looking at the crowd. Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with fearlessness and determination for the challenges ahead. They gathered their hearts and prepared to embark on a new journey to protect this imperiled continent...
