Chapter 190 Crisis emerges
The battlefield of the Spirit Realm Continent resembled a purgatory ignited by war, with thick black smoke billowing and a pungent smell of burning filling the air. While Qin Feng's spatial disruption briefly threw the "Dark Night Society" into disarray, the situation quickly became tense again with the counterattack from their leader. At this moment, the battle had entered a fever pitch, every second a matter of life and death.
"Hmph, you think you can stop me?" The leader of the "Dark Night Society" stood at the front of the formation, his body shrouded in a thick black mist, within which flickered an eerie red light, like countless evil eyes spying on him. He roared to the sky, his voice filled with madness and ambition, causing the surrounding air to hum.
Lin Qing held a longsword, its blade gleaming slightly from the intense battle. He stared intently at the leader, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, oblivious to his surroundings: "Everyone be careful, this old bastard definitely has more tricks up his sleeve!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the "Dark Night Society" began to move his hands rapidly, chanting incantations. In an instant, all the members of the "Dark Night Society" on the battlefield began to tremble, their faces showing expressions of pain. However, they could not control themselves; an invisible force was drawing their power away.
"What... what's going on?" Qin Feng's eyes widened in shock, and his hands, which were manipulating space, paused involuntarily.
Jasmine's face turned pale. She activated her microscopic energy perception and primordial spirit power, trying to find the source of this mysterious power. After a moment, she cried out in horror, "He's manipulating the emotional energy and soul connection of the human body! He's gathered the power of all his subordinates into himself!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Countless black threads writhed around the leader of the "Dark Night Society" as if alive, one end connected to his subordinates, the other merging into his body. As the threads writhed, the leader's body swelled, emanating an overwhelming, suffocating pressure.
"Oh no, his strength is increasing rapidly!" Ye Lan exclaimed, almost dropping the long flute in her hand. She quickly began to play, trying to use the sound of the flute to gather everyone's strength and resist this terrifying pressure.
"Hahahaha, feel my power!" The leader laughed wildly, and with a sudden swing of his arm, a black energy beam, like a small comet, shot towards the crowd with an aura of destruction.
"Get out of the way!" Lin Qing shouted, his figure flashing like lightning as he instantly appeared in front of Jasmine. He wielded his longsword rapidly, attempting to use sword energy to block the energy beam. However, the leader's power was too great. The moment the sword energy collided with the energy beam, it was like an egg hitting a rock, instantly shattered.
"Lin Qing!" Jasmine screamed in terror. Just as the energy beam was about to strike Lin Qing, Qin Feng suddenly manipulated the power of space, creating a distorted spatial vortex in front of Lin Qing, which sucked the energy beam into it.
"Phew...that was close." Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
"Thank you!" Lin Qing looked at Qin Feng gratefully.
"Don't relax, he's about to attack again!" Jasmine shouted anxiously.
As expected, the leader of the "Dark Night Society" was not discouraged by his missed attack; instead, he became even more frenzied. He gathered his power once more, and this time, a huge black energy sphere appeared around his body. The energy sphere contained endless dark power, as if it could devour everything.
"This time, none of you will escape!" the leader roared, hurling a black energy ball at the crowd. Wherever the energy ball passed, black cracks were torn open in space, a truly terrifying sight.
"What do we do? We can't stop this attack at all!" Ye Lan cried out in despair.
The group was trapped in a desperate situation, facing an attack capable of destroying everything, with seemingly no way to escape. Just at this critical moment, Jasmine suddenly felt the high-dimensional power and primordial spirit power surging within her body, and a mysterious message flooded into her mind.
"I...I think I've found a way!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Jasmine's eyes.
"What method? Tell me quickly!" Lin Qing asked anxiously.
"We cannot fight alone; we must combine our powers to form a powerful shield! I will guide the higher-dimensional power, and you will all pour your own power into it!" Jasmine said quickly.
"Okay, let's do it that way!" everyone responded in unison.
Lin Qing circulated his Qi and blood, along with his innate Qi, and injected it into the energy field constructed by Jasmine; Qin Feng manipulated the power of space, allowing it to merge with Jasmine's power; Ye Lan played the long flute, using its sound to unite everyone's power together.
Jasmine closed her eyes tightly, channeling all her power into higher dimensions, gathering everyone's strength into a massive golden shield. Runes shimmered on the shield's surface, radiating a holy light that contrasted sharply with the dark energy sphere wielded by the leader of the "Dark Night Society."
"Hmph, you think you can stop me with this?" The leader sneered disdainfully and increased the power output to the black energy ball.
The black energy sphere collided violently with the golden shield, producing a deafening roar. Powerful energy fluctuations spread outwards, tearing huge cracks in the surrounding ground, filling the air with smoke and dust, obscuring the battlefield's situation.
"Hold on, we can do it!" Lin Qing gritted his teeth and did his best to maintain the output of his qi and blood.
"Ah..." Everyone groaned in pain, resisting this powerful force was extremely taxing on them. However, none of them gave up, and they all gritted their teeth and persevered.
Just when everyone was about to give up, Jasmine suddenly felt a crack appear on the golden shield. Her heart tightened, knowing that this was a sign that the higher-dimensional power was about to run out.
"No, if this continues, the shield won't hold!" Jasmine shouted anxiously.
"Are we really going to lose?" Qin Feng said unwillingly.
Just then, Lin Qing suddenly felt a wondrous resonance between the Qi and blood within his body and the innate Qi. He took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and tried to control this power. In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he seemed to have found a way to break through.
"Don't panic, everyone! I have a plan!" Lin Qing shouted. He merged his blood and qi with the innate primordial qi once again. This time, he not only mobilized the power within his body, but also tried to establish a connection with the surrounding natural elements.
Lin Qing closed his eyes and focused on sensing the fluctuations of the natural elements around him. He discovered that the heat of the fire element, the gentleness of the water element, the solidity of the earth element, and the fluidity of the wind element all had a mysterious connection with the power of his blood and qi and his innate primordial qi. He tried to guide these elements and integrate them into his own power.
As Lin Qing guided him, the surrounding natural elements began to converge on him. Fire element enveloped his longsword, causing it to blaze with flames; water element surrounded him, forming a tough shield; earth element merged into his blood and energy, making his power more stable; and wind element granted him greater speed and stronger attack power.
"What... what's going on?" The leader of the "Dark Night Society" looked at Lin Qing in shock, feeling an unprecedentedly powerful force rising within Lin Qing's body.
"Prepare to die!" Lin Qing roared, wielding a longsword engulfed in flames, and charged towards the leader of the "Dark Night Society." He moved with incredible speed, like a bolt of lightning, instantly arriving before the leader, his longsword slashing down with boundless power.
The leader hurriedly mobilized his dark power to defend himself, but Lin Qing's attack was too powerful, and his defenses were instantly shattered. The longsword sliced through the leader's body, and he let out a scream before slowly collapsing.
"Success!" The crowd cheered. They hadn't expected that Lin Qing would break through his limits at the crucial moment and defeat the powerful leader.
However, before they could celebrate for long, even more dark behemoths suddenly appeared on the battlefield, swarming in from all directions and surrounding Lin Qing and his companions. At the same time, the members of the "Dark Night Society" rallied and, led by an elder, launched another attack on Lin Qing and his group.
"Damn it, they actually had a backup plan!" Lin Qing said angrily, looking at the densely packed enemies around him, his heart filled with worry.
"No matter how many enemies there are, we will not back down!" Qin Feng clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with determination.
"Yes, we will fight together and protect the Spirit Fantasy Continent!" Ye Lan said firmly.
Jasmine once again mobilized her higher-dimensional power and primordial spirit to prepare for a new round of battle. An even more intense battle erupted once more on the battlefield of the Spirit Fantasy Continent.
